Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron Herd

The Beginning

I woke up to see my mother standing over me and my father next to her. My mother was a big black mare with a star and a crescent dot on her flank. She was shorter than my father at 15.2 hands. My father though was a big dark bay with a diamond like shaped star, with the height of 17.1 hands.

I on the other hand was right in between them at 16.2 hands. I was a big black mare though, with no markings and bright blue eyes. My name was Myna. Meaning Storm bird, as I was so fast I thought I could fly with the eagle. 

I got up with a start, hearing a cougar wail. My father heard it to and went to chase it off. He had done this many times except this time I had a bad feeling about it. 

                                        ************TIME JUMP************

I knew my feeling was a bad one..... My father had died that day and now it was my turn to lead the Saeta herd. 

*winnie noise* 

" Mom, take the herd to the lower planes and near the pond, I think I should clean this up my self" I say to my mother as the stallion Spirit charges into the river and on to my side of the bank.

"Myna is that really a good idea?" My mother asks me.

"Yes! Now go!" I say back to her, shoving her along.

(Spirit P.O.V) 

I saw the black mare standing there waiting for me as her herd ran to a safer spot of her homeland. As if I was any danger! 

"Hello Myna," I say to her kindly 

"What do you want?! This is my home land now go back to your own!" She says angerly.

" Fine then. All I wanted to do was say hello" I say snapping back.

"You have said your hello now leave!" She say while rearing 

(Myna P.O.V) 

I call my herd back as soon as the stallion leaves. We all rear because the stallion is known to be stubborn and rude. When I come down we take off a a canter to the top of the canyons and from there to the top of the waterfall. 

                                                        ***********TIME JUMP***********

It is night and my herd where sleeping. But I had other plans. The Cimarron stallion had taken off right before I was about to lay down. I wanted to follow him but I waited until his dust that was kicked up settled. Then I took off canter after him only slowing a little to jump the smallest part of the river.

When I saw the stallion again I slowed to a walk and stopped all together but me being the clumsy fool I am ran right in to him.

"Well, well, well look at that the Saeta leader following me" He said amusingly.

" I am only curious to why you left your herd alone, at night" I say back.

" Well... I saw a light and had to know what came upon my homeland" He said dragging on the well.

" Fine then, I'm coming with you it could be dangerous for my herd too," I say walking forward and then stopping. " But I need to know your name." 

"Fine." he says stubbornly, "My name is Spirit. Now your turn, what is your name?" 

"My name," I say "Is Myna" and with that we continued on
