It was a normal night, or so I thought. Ra had vanished into the horizon to reveal a beautiful star filled night. If only my master was able to enjoy it.

I was munching on my delicious hay, nickering to the other horses now and then. I heard the rope, which was like my door, move. I turned slightly to see would be out here this late. It was my master. His face was grim, his crimson eyes held so many emotions. I nickered a hello and walked up to him, nuzzling his shoulder like I normally do when he visits me.

Pulling back I noticed he didn't have his normal attire of gold and white. Only a simple kilt and his dark purple cap adorned his body along with the golden pendant that was a shape of a pyramid. Another thing I noticed was that my bridle was in his hands. I nickered happily thinking we were going on a run. Those runs were always the best. He would allow me to stretch out my legs, unlike the day rides when we had to stay close to the guards.

I arched my neck to show I was happy and ready to go. He smiled then frowned before petting my neck. "My friend tonight will not just be a ride. It will be a ride to save our country." He slipped the bride on quickly. He patted me once again before turning to lead me out. At first I was confused. Instead of going left which lead to the big golden doors, he turned right to lead me to a hidden exit. He looked around us to make sure no one saw or was fallowing us, before going through the exit.

Once outside the palace walls, mounted me in one swift leap. He squeezed my sides and directed me towards the desert. I gave a snort and flick of my tail before going into a slow canter. I heard him chuckle, " easy, my friend. This will be a long ride. Would be best to conserve your energy." He patted my neck as he said this, a smile in his voice. I slowed down to a brisk trot, my tail still flying high.

We made our way through the desert, cautious of every little thing. My ears were continuously flickering around trying to pick up noises, while master kept looking around. After passing a small town, he decided it would be best to pick up the pace. With three clucks to me, I switched from a trot to a fast gallop.

In no time an abandoned village appeared. "Slow down my friend. We're almost to our destination." I gave a nod of my head and slowed down to a trot once more, still very cautious of our surroundings.

He halted me when we came upon a small temple. He dismounted slowly, walked up to my head and patted my muzzle. "My friend, this is were we will part. Its been an honor having you as a friend and companion." He slipped my bridle off, "I'm freeing you. I hope the res of your life is better than it is now." He kissed my muzzle then turned to walk away, dropping my bridle to the ground. I pinned my ears back and gave a sad cry before running in front of him, starring at him, telling him he was crazy to go in alone. "No my friend. I must do this alone!" he stepped around me with his head held high and kept on marching to the temple.

That's when I realized, once he'd step in there, he wouldn't be able to step back out. That's when I decided to follow him no matter what. I walked up to him and nuzzled his hand, telling him I was not going to leave him alone. He stopped and looked at me before sighing out loud.

"Fine my friend, you win." He grabbed a bit of my mane and jumped onto my back. "Let's save our country together my friend." With one more pat, I reared up into the sky, singing my battle cry, my legs kicking the air like I used to as a young colt.

I then bolted up the stairs, not only to our destiny, but to our end.

Hope you guys enjoyed this little one shot. As you probably guessed it was about the horse that lead Atem to victory in battles and what not. Yea I know it didn't happen in the manga/series. But this is what writing is about… making it your own. Please Review on what you thought of it.

I'm even considering adding more to this story if enough people like it. Most of them being drabbles of Atemu and his Friend. He still doesn't have a name but if you want suggest what his name should be.

Thanks! Happy Trails my friends!
