Name: Viola Color: Dark Chocolate Age: 4 Years Breed: Arabian Markings: Scars along her bodic, everywhere. Alliance: Dark Gender: Vix Offspring: None Home: No where Example Post: Brown mare followed the tracks that led out of the forest and to the river. I had been following for many days now, and many nights now across the lands, stopping rarely for a drink, and maybe a bite to eat. Other than that, why should I stop? There was no reason to stop, and I didn't have a destination for stopping. So, why bother when I could move along slowly and keep good miles from myself and the darks. It would have been foolish for just stopping to look at the trees, which were mainly bare anyway, and end up getting caught by a dark, maybe bred, or taken to there hell.
I snorted as I moved smelling the air as I plotted along the path. I could smell the rivers waters and try getting a sent of maybe another that was there. Were there other wanderers such as myself? Or would one of the leaders be there? Maybe the famous Black Hawk would be there, looking for others to join his layer, but what would be the chance of that happening? Anyway, I would have to try and cross the river and get across safely if I even wanted a chance of that happening. I was leaving the wandering lands, to get a place in a herd, if it was Black Haws herd, that would be the best for myself, seeing as I was a light. But if I was captured by a dark, that would be a whole different story.
I stopped when the forest was about six feet behind me and looked to the east of the river, and then to the west. There was no other equine around here, not by sight, nor by smell. I sighed, in a way that was marvelous news, but then it was horrible news. It was good news, because then that meant that no darks were around to steal a wanderer mare, such as myself, but then is was bad. Because then that mean that Black Hawk wasn’t around either. I sighed I had figured that I would have been the only one here, I didn’t know why I had set my hopes so high in the first place.
I shook my head to clear any dust or dirt that might have collected into my mane and then sneezed when dust did come out. That wouldn’t matter anyway though seeing as your getting into the river now I thought to myself, but it was still nice to have gotten it out. I looked to the river and then walked over until I got to the edges side. I brought my head down and took a quick drink so that I would be more refreshed when battling the force of the water. I knew that I would have to come up with a plan to move with the water, or just try to face it by mere force.
I picked up a stone and placed it into the water while working one of my own tricks that I kept up my sleeve. The water was very cold since it was still winter, and I broke off thin ice that was starting for form at the edge of the river. It cracked and few down with the water turning itself back into water and traveling along down. I picked up my other stone and placed it into the water, and started to walk into the river slowly and very carefully. I knew that nothing around me mattered right now because if I was going to get across I had to have my full attention on the river. That meant watching where the speed of it picked up, and slowed down, and seeing the different colors to show where it might deepen, and where it was shallow. I could see that later down the water was dark, very dark I couldn’t even see the stones, and rocks that were under the river water. I stayed away for the most part from there.
I moved across the river still being careful but seeing that it was easier to move if I angled my crossing. So instead of just going straight across I was moving diagonally across. It wasn’t as hard as than just trying to go right across to get to the other side. My stones moved carefully and slowly not wanting to trip on the large rocks, and slip into the freezing waters. The water was rising quickly as I neared the middle of the river, it was already full over my back, and was working up to my neck. Occasionally my four stones wouldn’t be touching any of the rocks that were under me, and I would float a ways down the river until I could get a hold of the ground again. That was mostly because there were ditches in the river and inclines in the rocks as well.
I neared the new edge of the river bank. Heading towards my freedom, and start of my new life. I would soon be “home” as I called it. Excitement filled within my body, and I could feel in surging through my veins. My body seemed to get warmer at the thought of getting a herd, and starting a new life, and not having to be a wanderer anymore. I smiled to myself at the thought of maybe meeting a stallion who would love me and give me a child of our own. I was lost in my thoughts so much that I wasn’t paying attention anymore to the river. I wasn’t watching where it deepened and shallowed, and I wasn’t watching the current of the river. Before I knew it, my whole body was starting to numb, and I was freezing. I opened my eyes, only to shut them quickly. I was so lost in thought that I wasn’t paying attention and had fallen in the river. Stay clam my mind screamed to me. I tried very hard to but my lungs were pounding from having no air. My legs felt the rock beneath me and I tried to get a hold of the bottom bank, but the water was now so strong that it was just pulling me along. I felt another incline of rock and this time pushed off of it. I shot up through the water and felt my head out of the water, I gasped for air, but as soon as I had it I was back under the freezing waters again. I traveled through and held my breath to save my life. I started to breath out when I felt another incline of rock. I though it would continue to incline, but when I pushed off of it, I hit my head on another rock. I got my air but then slowly started to slip away from life. What had happen? I wondered. I could feel the water with the last of my nerves that it was slowing down, I felt something hit my side, and I had stopped flowing. Was it the end of the river? Or was I caught on a large rock. I opened my eyes, but everything was so blurry that I couldn’t see anything. At least I was stopped, I continued breathing as I saw the last of the sky disappear... Picture: In The Making...
