The stallions brought his face down to her and she gazed into his deep blue eyes, youthful joy pouring from her own. She opened her mouth to answer his question, to tell him that the faeries and spirits had the habit of getting lost, or caught in the shadows’ traps that had been laid for them. But his next question had her snapping her jaws shut, her smile turning impish before water hit her face from his head. She giggled and danced away and around him again. Time and time again he covered her in water, slowly but surely drenching her smoky body.
Water was dripping from her soft nose and she eyed him suspiciously. His words were strange and he seemed to know more than anyone she had come across so far. The ideas he proposed in such a short time, merely a few sentences, led her to more conclusions and more questions than she had witness before. Was this what happens when you met another being born of gods? Was he something else? She knew he knew more than the others she had come across. Too many thoughts were flashing and whizzing through her mind. The little girl snorted and decided to figure them all out later. Instead she focused on one thing, who or what this man in front of her was. She looked over him, his body dripping with the water from the falls, his friendship with the creatures of the earth, his knowledge of frost and forest giants of myth and lore. Her eyes widened at the sudden realization. She knew the truth! There was only one possible thing the stallion in front of her could be.
“YOU! You are the water horse! ” Taika kicked up her heels and splashed around him again, the pleasure of figuring who he was too invigorating for her to stand still. “They had been looking for you! When they kept leaving their homes the shadow creatures captured them and their families. The warriors could not fight them off alone, so they asked me to join them! She stopped in front of him, drawing herself up as high as she could. Now you are here, you can help us regain their freedom so they can live peacefully in their homes!
