Saba neighed gleefully as she continued romping through the meadow grass, a couple of birds flying overhead. Rearing, the filly let out another cry before chasing after the winged creatures, wanting to see if she could catch up with one. Sadly, that attempt failed for multiple reasons, but Siba's disappointment was quelled when she noticed a butterfly on one of the many flowers surrounding her.
The creature had beautiful bright blue wings that glittered like river water. Siba got as close as she dared, stretching out her neck. A breath escaped through her nostrils, something that caused the butterfly to flap its wings and take to the sky again. Before it did so, the little creature landed on Siba's muzzle and remained there for a second before heading off on its own.
Watching the butterfly leave, Siba turned her head, glancing back. A couple of yards away, she saw her dam, Nitika, grazing peacefully. The mare allowed her rebellious filly to wander from her side as long as she didn't drift too far, or remain out of her eyesight for too long. Siba adhered to these rules, if only so that she could play on her own and not have to deal with any overbearing from her dam.
Continuing with her playtime, Siba continued to move away, not noticing that she was out of her dam's line of sight. It wouldn't stay that way for long though, considering what would happen next. As she rounded a line of brush and tall meadow grass, the filly stopped short. A dozen or so feet in front of her stood a large stallion, bay roan in color, with a jet black mane and tail.
Siba did not know that this stallion and her dam inhabited the same kingdom, for Nitika did not belong to his herd and as such did not socialize with him. Siba, in consequence, had never met this stallion, so she didn't know what to make of it.
When she saw the stallion, the filly didn't know what to do. She froze, shock overtaking her body for a moment. As soon as her mind came back, the filly took off, squealing in fright as she raced to her dam's side.
"Mommy... mommy... there's a stallion over there... a stranger... he scared me mommy..."
