[/b] My voice flew into the wind and though the dark horse pricked his ears, I was just as sure my words had been blown back in my face. I was screaming now. "YOU DON'T KNOW ME!" My teeth flashed in fury and I could see the quiet, still hurt written across his face. He was graceful and handsome with that shy look in his eyes, but I knew it deep down. I knew he hated me and only dragged me along so far so he wouldn't have to listen to me complaining. Well, I was through with that. I summoned all the strength in my chest and the golden amulet lifted its heavy weight from my chest. The air glowed with light and the dark stallion melted away before my eyes. Whether it was or his doing or not I didn't know."Guess what!"
But when the light rays were gone, so was he. And there were no more grass stalks as tall as my buckskin patchwork belly and no more dull sunlight clouded by gray skies. Now it was just dark. And a sticky substance made the short, wet grass stick to my ankles. "Ugh," I snorted, wrinkling my nose. Looking around, I did recognize the place. The battle grounds. They stretched on empty and forever, bare fields of bloody grass and patches of dark, cracked dirt. I was walking across them. In the distance I saw the glint of the shimmering Cliffs. Even in the near pitch dark they still glinted charcoal though with age their sheen had dulled. The light breeze tossed at the frills of my mane and I curvd my neck, keeping an eye out on all sides of me even though it was dark. Too dark for me to see any more than mere yards around me very well.
My amulet had drained of power when I used most of it to transport me here. I felt very alone now, but I didn't regret what I'd done. Drawing in a rattling breath, I kicked a rock with my hoof and stopped, waiting for the rock to stop rolling. When it did I started walking again. But I felt uneasy. And suddenly the feeling swept over me like a chill. The fear grabbed hold of me so easily, it made my eyes blink wide open in terror. I almost screamed aloud, but instead began looking frantically around me. But there was nothing, no one, nobody, only me, not him, I was alone... Alone. But then I saw a dark shadow. I saw him because he didn't move with everything else that blended in, moved so slightly in the ever-present breeze. Even from a distance the shadow was scarier than a being itself. But he only stood there awhile. I didn't dare speak.[/size][/font][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
