Just to let people know i dont own the characters Spirit, Rain, Esperanza, or Strider. Spirit, Rain, and Esperanza are all from the movie by Dreamworks and Strider is from the book by Kathleen Duey. Other characters such as Ace, Buck, Zanzibar, Riley, Comet, Sandy, and more to come are all characters that i made.
Spirit watched his herd as they slept. It had been 2 years since he returned. He had Rain by his side and his colt who was almost a year in a half Buck next to her. Buck resembled Spirit with his buckskin coat, black mane and tail, but only part of his legs were black on the wrist and white going down to his hooves. He also had a white star going from his eyes down to his muzzle. Spirit smiled, everything was perfect.
The morning sun was rising over the valley. Rain opened her eyes and Spirit nuzzled her. Buck woke up and ran to one of his close friends Zanzibar. Zanzibar was black all over with no white marks at all. Buck joyfully bucked alongside Zanzibar as they went for a morning gallop. Spirit remembered the day he was born, shortly after Rain had given birth he had got up and bucked, that was when they decided to name him Buck.
Everyone in the herd was now awake. Spirit went to his closest friend Ace who was gray with the same black markings as Spirit. Spirit trusted Ace with anything. He was always there for Spirit. Spirit had found Ace alone in the forest with bruises and blood all over his shoulders and face. He had run away from his owner who had nearly killed him. Any other stallion would have been threatened by a 2 year old stallion such as Ace but Spirit couldn't find it in his heart to leave him behind to die. Now Ace was looking much better with nothing more then scars where his bruises had been.
"Hey Ace, beautiful morning isn't it."
"Mornin Spirit, couldn't ask for a better sun rise."
Spirit smiled. About 6 months ago he could barely talk. Spirit admired how strong Ace had been in recovering. Spirit looked around trying to find his son. He saw Buck back by Rain. Then he looked at Zanzibar playing with his father. Spirit sighed. He always wondered who his father was. The only thing Spirit knew about his father was that his name was Strider and he to was black all over. When he was thinking of his father he thought of his mother Esperanza. He had only then realized that she was not with the herd. Spirit became worried, his mother never left the herd for this long. Something must have happened. He rushed to meet rain.
"Rain! Mothers gone, we have to go look for her!"
Rain didn't say anything she knew it was urgent and she told Buck to stay with the herd and hurried to follow Spirit. Spirit looked at Ace and motioned to watch the heard when he was gone. Ace nodded knowing how worried he was. Spirit and Rain galloped away following the scent of his mother. A sudden fear came over Spirit that made him stop. He didn't only scent his mother but he also scented something that he had encountered before. The two-legeds have returned.
