As soon as he sees the glow of his sister’s bicolored eyes, Malik pounces. The pair of them roll about on the ground, wrestling and laughing. Malik is just about to suggest they switch to monkeys and have a swinging race through the trees when the cage drops around them.
He crouches, growling up at it, but only until he realizes what it is made of.
Bone.
He stands back up, giggling, and spins around until he spots their mother on the other side of the calcified prison.His laughter intensifies as she speaks to Malou, and he nods enthusiastically to his sister’s suggestion.
Shrinking to fit between the bars of the cage, he grows again and becomes his equine self. Black and horned, he paws at the thick leaf litter with one foot before charging toward Malik. His head is lowered, but only because he knows he’ll pass harmlessly through his mother’s companion in the strange intagibly magical way.
“You get the big one!” He calls gleefully to his sister, “I’ve got this one!”
