You walk on, your strides growing shorter and clumsier with every step. You’ve been on the run for so long now that you can’t even remember. A shudder runs up and down your spine, through your legs and into the ground, like lighting striking in the distance.
A memory, it makes you want to run, run as fast as you can… That night, you and the rest of the herd were sleeping so peacefully, but you heard a sound and immediately got up to go and investigate. Thinking it was nothing more than a creature of the woods, you turn around to return to the herd when suddenly, an unfamiliar scent caught in your nares.
You weren’t sure what it was, but all you knew was that danger was on the horizon, and it was coming fast. All around you, it felt as though it was everywhere at once! You reared up, striking out at the invisible foe in the night viciously, your eyes wild as the feeling of dread dropped onto your shoulders. Turning on your haunches, you threw yourself back to the earth and ran, ran for all you were worth.
Flying through the trees, you came to a skidding stop, letting out a scream in warning to the rest of the herd.
Silence except for your warning echoing in the mountains. No one took heed to your call. No one was there to hear it.
Your breath caught in your throat as you looked around. Everything, everyone… Gone. Frightened, your breaths came rapidly, auds swiveling to and fro, wisps of steam whispering out in front of you in the chill night air.“Calm… Calm…” You told yourself over and over.“Calm… Calm…”
The sense of terror from the hidden enemy was gone, but a new, unpleasant stench was hanging on the air. Coppery… Pungent, putrid…
Blood.
You took a trembling step forward, then another, and finally another until your legs were working mechanically. As you moved, the scent grew stronger and stronger, becoming nearly unbearable. The sight before you made you run, run hard and fast.
“Dead… They’re all dead! Dead!” You repeated, just as you had tried to calm yourself before. The herd had been murdered by who, and how, you didn’t know… It was after you… You had to keep going, running, you had to keep running.
The memory fades away and you drop to your knees, welcoming death as it whispers in your ear. You close your eyes and let your head rest on the ground. Darkness wraps itself around you.
Suddenly, something nudges your shoulder. Blearily, you open your eyes to see a figure standing above you.“Am I dead?” You can’t help but ask.
The figure sharpens, appearing to you as a buckskin stallion with rich amber eyes. He watches you curiously and shakes his head.“Not yet. That choice, is up to you…” His words are deep and calm.
You struggle to your feet as he turns away from you and rears up, slashing his hooves at the air, with a sudden ferocity, he slams back down. The earth tremors suddenly and you snort in wonderment and anxiousness. Again, he turns to you and nods, motioning for you to look at the ground beneath your feet. You can’t help but jump back! The ground underneath you has given way, instead, it appears as though your standing in the night sky. Taken aback, you look into the limitless starry void.
“I am Satyyrn, and I am here to offer you another chance.” He glances up and leaps into the sky, vanishing before your eyes. Surprised, you look up as well to see another world above you.
You suddenly bolt forward, weight leaving your front end as you throw yourself to the sky. A blinding light envelopes you, and you find yourself in a new land.
