Sticks and Stones Can Break Your Bones (Nico) Posted on March 19, 2025 at 08:21:54 PM by Tino
The steel grey colt was running around blindly. He had told Sara that he couldn’t see his mother Nico, when she had asked had he ever been without her, he felt a slither of embarrassment because no, he never had. It had only ever been the two of them up until now, it would probably take him a little time to get use to stepping out on his own without her and he was sure Sara would help him with that, weather he wanted her help or not, which he did want it.
But right now, he was panicking. So when Sara went after the foal, he went in the other direction, head back the way they had come as he checked where they had slept and where he had met Nico before racing back towards the beach. Coming to a abrupt halt on the beach his head swivelled in all directions as he breathed harder, mostly from panic.
Spotting Nico further up the beach he shot off as fast as he could, digging his heels into the sand as he comes to a sliding stop, missing crashing into the stallion by the smallest of spaces.
As a light layer of sweat settled over the colts shoulders and neck as wild terrified eyes locked on the painted stallion.
Nico, I can’t find my mother. She was with you last, wher… where is she? I know she would just leave me the colt stammered, quickly, his side heaving with every breathe he took.
