 The chestnut son of Badr and Vesti was exploring again. He had discovered the best time to sneak off was when his mother fell asleep during the heat of the day. During that time, he would run off and have many adventures, but would also have to be sure to return to her side and take a bath so she didn’t smell his acquired sweat. She was very good at lectures and Grai was sick of hearing them. There were three good places, he had learned. The Oases. His mother and his herd seemed to spend most of their time in the large one. And while that was fine and all, a young colt has to keep his options open. So he would dart about between the three - always being careful to reach one. His father had been very clear about what happened to horses that strayed too far into the desert. Grai didn’t want to become vulture food. He burst into the oasis and looked about. No pesky birds to chase. No snakes to avoid. Snakes, Grai did not like them. He’d found out pretty quickly they were very dangerous. Thankfully, Vesti had been on hand to trample the cobra under relentless hooves. She had then told him that those black creatures could and would kill. Where she had learned that information, she had refused to say. However, he soon spotted something new. And new was exciting. New, in the consistant dunes, was very rare. His ears perked up and he let out a whinny of greeting at the strange two-colored shape that moved through the water. Vesti had also been very clear about water. Water that was inland was for drinking and bathing. But the great blue beyond the land was dangerous and he wasn’t to go near. Grai didn’t understand that, he’d just nodded. He’d slipped out to the salty and endless blue once or twice and he’d received nervous lectures and caused his mother to panic. So Grai didn’t do it anymore. Often at least. “Hi,” he squeaked once he reached the edge of the pool. “I’m Grai. Who are you?” GRAI stallion. mixed. chestnut. 15.2hh. weanling. played by blushie |
