Disclaimer: This story is based upon Jean M. Auel's "Earth's Children" series. Many of the characters are therefore not invented by me, and I do not accept credit for them. This does not apply to the storyline however, for as far as I know it has not been written before. Enjoy, and review. Thankyou.

The Wind Rider

Latie could never forget Ayla, the mysterious stranger who'd appeared in the midst of her clan, then left again so quickly. In the short space of time Ayla had been there, she'd taught them so much. But the one thing Latie would always remember was something Ayla had brought with her. Whinney. A wild horse she'd raised and tamed herself, along with Whinney's son, Racer. Latie thought over Ayla's parting words to her:

"Maybe you can get a little horse of your own someday, Latie" Ayla had said.

Exactly what Latie planned to do.

Sorry it's short right now, but I just wanted to get something up. Don't worry, this isn't even the full first chapter. But you can still review this rather small and pathetic paragraph if you feel like it!
