Into the night, you followed, branches, twigs, and leaves brush against your back. The air felt crisp, clean, and fresh. It was night after a stormy rough day, but now, calm has returned, bringing with it wet leaves that dropped rain every time a breeze came through, causing a wet and cold body, sending chills down your spine. Or was it the cold water, cool breeze, and night weather that gave you the chills? You have had the sense of another presence ever since you had come to this new land. It wasn't a presence that seemed to be in a single place, though. This presence enveloped the land. Perhaps this 'twas what was causing the sudden chills? The thought lingered in your mind as you continued onward through the semi-dense wood. Oh how you wanted to know what it was!
A sudden howl pierces the still night air, your heart begins to pound, breath quickens, adrenaline is pulsed through your body, alerting your senses. Shock is felt deeply. Instinctively, you run, weaving expertly between the trees. You had ran a great many times in your youth, but this wasn't for fun, this was for your life...
Hooves pound into the soft earth. You catch a glimpse of a wolf beside you, snarling you and coming in closer. This sends another shot of adrenaline through your body, quickening your heartbeat more. Panic... You glance to your other side, only to see the same frightening scene.
Your legs begin to slow, as you have been running as fast and hard as you could for a distance. A dull ache is felt through out your body. A few more seconds pass, seeming like hours. Suddenly, you realize that you are not running alone for your own life, but with a herd... Relief and hope surge through your mind as you continue onward in the multi-colored herd.
The edge of the wood quickly arrives, horses seeming to burst out into the large clearing. The herd abruptly stops, all forming a circle about you. A Glowing dapple stallion steps forward to you, the others beside him filling the gap where he once stood. His radiance shows even through the dark night, the moon casting an eerie glow over all the horses. Stars glimmer in the sky peacefully, lighting up the sky.
"I am Dancing Sky Light. I am lead stallion to this herd you came upon in the woods. Do not worry about the wolves, for we are now in a safety zone, one which predators can rarely cross. I welcome you to Freedom, a vast land of which we roam." Another swift breeze sweeps through the area, cooling the sweat that had grown from the run. You hear water rumbling as if there was a waterfall nearby, deeper into the woods."We offer you to stay, but, make your choice wisely, for Freedom isn't for everyone, even as wonderful as it is. So, choose wisely now, stranger, and either be a part of Freedom or leave now."
Enter Freedom
