Bahadır alwaqt la yughayir alwaqt yakshif
Bahadır's blood boils beneath dark mahogany hide, he can feel its searing hot heat burning in his chest. He stomps his hoof angrily in the gilded sand at his hooves, his dark eyes transfixed on the ocean's horizon. Twice now he has been denied what is his, by the monochromatic beast that has laid claim to the Desert. He patrols the borders relentlessly beating his hooves into the sands, chasing out anyone who dares set hoof in the sands. He huffs. Bahadır had merely spoken to the pale woman there on the sands when the stallions pounding hooves shook the very ground beneath their feet. Bahadır had barely made it away unscathed, just his wounded pride, some bruises across his rump and teeth marks marring his back. His ears disappear into his unkempt ebony mane, his face contorts with anger at the thoughts of what he had done to the pretty pale woman.
Guilt clenches at his heart, he should of stayed, he should of fought the beast off, and saved the woman from the fate had been bestowed on her. He drops his dark eyes to the foaming surf at his hooves. As the guilt fades into anger once again, he makes a solum oath to the pale woman. He would return again and again, he would be like the relentless desert shams. A fire burns in his dark eyes, he would make the beast pay for all of the wrongs he has done to her.
With a nod, Bahadır pivots away from the foaming surf. He picks his way across the beach and makes his way further inland. His hooves easily find the trail, it is well trodden by the hooves of many who have come before him. A dull roar reaches his erect, twitching ears. The roar grows louder with each step he takes, until it is deafening. His dark eyes focus on a few inhabitants as they mill around, some in pairs, a few were alone. His breath catches in his throat as his eyes linger on the onyx curves of a lone mare. Her coat like that of the deepest night sky, save for the brilliant ivory that splashes her coat. He swallows hard and steps to the water's edge, he can feel the vibration of the falls, as if they were in his very bones.
She steps into the bubbling pool, the water parts for her as she wades across. He watches as she casts a final glance over her shoulder before disappearing into the depths of the roaring falls. His ears rotate forward and his dark eyes grow wide. The water rushes around him as he wades into the water after the alluring woman. He closes his eyes, before stepping through silvery curtain of water. As the corridor opens up to him, his dark eyes pop back open. He gasps as he looks around, and finally his eyes settle on her His hooves sound hollow over the stones as he ventures closer to his mysterious woman. Her scent wafts into his quivering nostrils, it was damp but still tantalizing to his nostrils. A moment passes between them.
"How did you know?" he says, his voice full of wonder. His dark eyes take in her every curve, especially the sharp curves of her delicate ears.
