Escence
The world I have come to know, dark and brooding, begins to lighten just a bit. It starts by the smallest of sparks, an ember floating on thermal winds. I am much like the ember whirling about overhead. Burning bright and threatening to ignite something much greater.
Often alone in my play I welcome the bay stallion that now joins me. Small flickering flames fizzle in the grasses as I race about the area. Eviction joins but soon fizzle just as the flames along the ground do. He didn't have my vitality. My zest that glows even brighter than my flames. I twirl around and rear high on my slender back legs as the bayed stallion circles around me. I'm Jack, he says, and I respond with my forelimbs landing with a thunk back on the ground. My neck arches proudly, showing my Arabian lineage, "I'm Escence and that's my brother Eviction," I say boldly. Jack reaches to tempt Eviction into playing too. Only briefly does he respond with a whinny and a kicking of his flame licked heels.
I hear my mother calling and I snort in protest. Swinging my head around as I stomp my hooves into the clover below. My flaming tail whips in a burning puff of fuzz at my rump. Eviction has already filed behind Mother; my eyes roll as I turn and look to the tree they now gather under. A part of me longed to go chase after my father. I wonder briefly where he has gone to and why he had to leave. Again, I snort as I rear on my hunches and lunge into a full gallop straight for my family. I whizz past them before curling around to stop at Eviction side. I nuzzle his forelock playfully, his ears twisting back in annoyance. He is already folding his legs under him when I come to pester him. I giggle before I too curl up for an afternoon nap.
