One by one they find him. Each having their own ideas of how he looks. Their own fantasy of where he is found. A child's imagination is a wondrous place. They persevere in their quest though and he is happy they have come. Christmas was such a magical time of the year…
The first filly arrives in tears of despair from her exhausting trip. He dries them from her eyes. She is hungry so he feeds her her favorite holiday treat. Then he asks her of her deepest desire. She is already such a special little girl he is interested in what she has in mind. A brow rises as she peers into his gift sack. Wishes but no want falls from her bright lips. Perhaps her wish wasn't something he could give her... Then her mind is elsewhere. Projected into the stars that hung over the world like tiny gems. Jewels he thinks. With a smile he gifts her something just as sparkling bright as her personality… A diamond horn that shall shine even in her darkest of moments. Protecting her from all her fears. When she finally comes back to her body - backing out of his brightly colored bag - she reappears with the prize upon her tiny crown. "There. That'll due. Now you can shine like the gem you are." With no other words he wishes her back to her home amongst the other Beqannians.
Then comes a scrawny colt led by a Christmas wolf to his vacation home. He smiles kindly as the exhausted foal comes to him. Worn out from his journey, the stallion offers him a place to rest. Gratefully the child curls into the soft bedding to drift into a peaceful sleep. The young white wolf follows suit and lays beside the boy. The stallion retreats to look across the vast expanse of sea. The warm breeze tossing about his emerald mane.
The colt - now rested - springs to life. Finding him along the beach. Now full of excitement, not fear. The great stallion smiles again as Babadooks curious mind questions why he is here. Explaining the purpose for the journey, he waits for the colts wish. When Babadook asks for a friend in the white wolf Ashkii he chuckles deeply, “Ho Ho Ho. A friend is what you want than a friend is what you shall have. Ashkii is yours Babadook. He will be a faithful companion. Treat him well my child and he shall do the same in return.” Turning to the Christmas wolf, he addresses him, “Ashkii, please escort the boy home and keep him company.” With a wink and nod the colt and wolf dissolve into the sand around them. Transported by magic back to Beqanna.
He is busy getting ready for his big night when a courageous young girl makes her way to his village. Accompanied by an injured snowbear of the north. Wounds across his shoulder with a makeshift bandage the filly had prepared. A smile brought to his maw at her willingness to help a creature much larger than herself. They meander about for a bit, chatting, before he asks her of her wish for the season. She is quick to answer and he is inquisitively listening. He isn't shocked by her request. It seemed fitting and so he laughs in a jolly chorus, “Ho Ho Ho… I think we can manage just that.” With a gentle upward toss of his nose, sparkling snow flakes fall onto the filly. “There… Now you can induce happiness wherever you may be. Though, I'd say you do a fine job without magic. Now run along Margaux. Your friends are waiting for you at home.” He motions towards the direction in which she came. He watches as the red girl and fox bound off onto another adventure. Once just beyond the treeline she would warp back into Beqanna.
Last but not least, she comes. Or should we say he finds her. Saves her from a monster of folklore legends. Krampus. Such a vile creature. In the face of danger and torture the cream and carmel spotted filly manages to save others. Sacrificing herself to no benefit of her own. It was an admiral act and he couldn't allow the creature to consume the child. Sent on his way Krampus disappears. Comforting the young child with a gentle touch. Turning they walk on. Finding their way to his humble abode. Elves bustling about. He explains some things to her then asks what she wishes for Christmas. He knows all, so he sees all her wants and wishes for everyone but herself. All the worry and fear that surrounds her and her family. He lowers his mighty face to her level. Looking thoughtfully into her crimson eyes. His words come soft and gentle, “Embark, your gift is not a possession. It will not come in a shiny box, covered with bows. It cannot be touched. You cannot be touched, by anyone or anything you do not wish to be touch by. Be brave Embark, you are untouchable!” With a sweet kiss to her forehead he begins to shimmer like a mirage. One second she is there in his world and the next she is back in the playground of Beqanna. She is returned safely, her injuries inflicted by Krampus no more than a memory.
Disclosure: gifts given are all one-spaced traits. Your choice if they are genetic or not. If you wish to not have the trait a part of your horses genetics the mountain will take them back. Post update if you wish to accept your gift and include if it is to be genetic or non-genetic. If you wish to refuse Santa's gift you need do nothing more. I hope you all enjoyed your journey. No foals were permanently harmed in the making of this quest
