~^One wave superior in size to the rest, and with it leaps an equine form. Few know of the Ushteys, and those who do know, know little. They're the horses of the sea, unbelievably beautiful and wild. Just what their purpose is and what they can and cannot do, is unknown, but lives have been lost pursuing these fleeting dreams. "Sister dear!" The voice which calls these words is sweet, melodic, reminding one of a gentle breeze across the waves Ushteys run with.^~

~*One just like the first rises with a wave nearby. "Yes, dear sister?"*~

~^"Land ho!" comes the gleeful response.^~

~*Looking, the second one answers: "So it is."*~

~^"Shall we?"^~

~*"We shall."*~

~^The first Ushtey's wave rolls in, and she tumbles onto the beach.^~

~*An instant later, the second tumbles onto it a little ways away.*~

~As they get to their feet, the waves around them smooth into satin sheets of saltwater and flow back into the sea. The two step away from the ocean and towards each other, their steps light and high, graceful. Ushteys are beautiful, it is true, but these two are gems even among their own race. Their fine-boned limbs convey them easily 'pon the sands of the beach, curled tresses of their manes and tails floating 'pon the zephyr's breath. In unison, the two rear.~

~^"I, Sajana," begins the first.^~

~*"And I, Sajani," adds the other.*~

~Together, they finish: "Claim this territory as our own." They move now forth to explore.~
