I CANNOT BE ALTERED

It was his first time leaving Salem and he was so excited! His father told him he was free to swim to the crossing once he turned a year old and Cain knew he was strong enough to make the swim. He'd run the dunes and swam int he water close to the island enough to get up his stamina and today was the day! It was hard to believe there was once a time when Carbon had entertained the idea that he might not make it to his first year. He almost got to the point of no return after losing his mother tragically to an infection. His father never gave up though and kept searching until he found Berit and she became his mother. He even got a brother out of the deal with Vulcan. Carbon loved his family and never thought of them as anything less, even if they didn't share blood. To make things better, Berit was going to give him a new baby brother or sister any day now! She was getting pretty big.

But those thoughts would have to wait cause he had swimming to do! Carbon launched into the water and dove past the waves. Grinning at his own success, he made the swim to the crossing, coming up on the shores of the meadow as he shook out his ebony coat. Ears swiveled around alertly as he flared his nostrils and looked around. It smelled so different from the desert. The grass was soft and forgiving beneath his feet, not sucking at his hairy fetlocks or shifting beneath his hooves. It felt odd at first but he found himself trotting forward soon enough, head lifted as he looked for someone to talk to. When he saw the other stallion, he didn't hesitate to call out to him in a nicker, hoping the other would be in a friendly mood. The other stallion was tall, even taller than his own father! It fascinated him so Carbon cut a path to him, only slowing as he got closer.

"Hello, I'm Carbon. Are you from one of the other islands?" He knew they existed, even if he'd never been to one of them yet. The stallion didn't smell like Salem so he had to assume he was from somewhere else.
