Chapter 6 . . . . . Hidden Secrets Part 1

After the long and retched battle Ronny decided she needed to fix things with Hidalgo, even though it pained her too. She came up with another lie about how she needed time to recover from being squashed underneath the bike. She told the rangers how she was just going to go to the river to wash her face. She trudged along, dreading every step.

Upon reaching the center of the forest, she noticed things a little out of place. The path that Hidalgo usually followed to greet her was darker than it had been before. She noticed the trees were duller than they should have been. And there was a single row of hoof prints following towards the path Hidalgo usually comes from. Ronny knew at that moment the must of upset Hidalgo more than she thought. She hoped he was okay and would be able to find him.

"Hidalgo!" She called out, but no answer. Again she called out, "Hidalgo!" But no response was heard. By that time, she knew something was terribly wrong. She inspected the area, there was no blood if might have been attacked or fallen. She finally came up with the idea to follow the hoof prints.

Carefully she stepped over the hoof prints, making sure not to step on one, for fear if she did she wouldn't be able to find her way back. She finally came to a clearing, neither big nor small. A few steps ahead were a large hill of rocks that stretched far up the side of the hill. At the top of the rocks was what looked to be a small cave. That must be Hidalgo's home. Ronny thought. The Rocks were in the shape of stairs on the side leading up to the cave. She wondered how the rocks came to be in that formation. Ronny wondered if it was the right choice to go up to Hidalgo's home, but for Ronny, any decision she made was right. She lifted her foot and started walking up the rock stairs. Slowly, she made her way to the top, it looked empty inside.

"Hidalgo!" Ronny shouted, nothing. Since Ronny was in her ranger uniform, she always carried emergency supplies. Ronny pulled out a flashlight and shone it in the cave. It seemed the cave stretched on for miles, twisting and turning in a pool of darkness. As she took small steps into the cave, the light hit the cave walls and upon the walls were what looked to be paintings. But how would Hidalgo paint if he only has hooves and not fingers?

There were three paintings, all of them of horses: The first one was of a graceful black horse. He has a long white strip down the front of his face and his back left leg was white. He was swift with his feet and he moved graciously. This horse had perfect green eyes that stood out from the rest of his dark coated body. There was a name engraved in shabby letters that spelled outOnnipotente. The second horse was underneath the first horse. This horse was strong he looked big and powerful. He was defiantly a cross between an Appaloosa and Paint. He was all white except for the brown dots on his back and a medium sized dot on the withers. His eyes were a celestial blue and covered with brown circles, as well as his ears. His chest and belly was all brown as well. Underneath him was spelled out Sunka Tanka. Directly below this horse was another horse that was a beautiful roan colored. He was in a rearing position. His dark brown eyes matched his body. His mane and tail floated in the air. He looked majestic. The name carved next to this horse was Chubasco.

"A-Hem," Came a voice of someone clearing their throat. It was an all much too familiar voice.

"Hidalgo!!" Ronny's face lit up as she saw Hidalgo standing before her.

"What are you doing here, Ronny?"

Ronny felt her face turn from a smile to a frown in seconds flat, "I just wanted to say. . . Sorry. I didn't mean to act that way, it was just that Mr. Hartford told me there would be serious consequences if I kept seeing you. I was scared they might have caught you and me together at the battle and taken you away from me." Ronny hung her head in despair and waited for a response. It seemed like forever until Hidalgo finally spoke up.

"Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go.
Whoa.
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why.
I tried . . . I tried to read between the lines,
I tried to look in your eyes,
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside.
I gotta find a way out,
Maybe there's a way out. . . . .

Hidalgo took a step forward a Ronny lifted her head. His eyes widened and the sight of forgiveness was in his eyes.

"Today is a winding road.
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know.
Whoa.
Today I'm on my own,
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone.
I don't know.

And now I'm itching for the tall grass,
And longing for the breeze.
I need to step outside,
Just to see if I can breathe.

I gotta find a way out,
Maybe there's a way out . . . . .
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer.
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors.
I don't wanna ever love another.
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain."

Hidalgo walked next to Ronny and nudged her face. She looked at the sincerity in his face and their souls became intertwined.

"Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope,
I'm wrapped up in vines.
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time.
Strike me down with lightning,
Let me feel you in my veins.
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain!
Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go.
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer.
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors.
I don't wanna ever love another,
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain.
And bring on the thunder, and I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer.
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain.
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder."

When Hidalgo finished his song, he looked at Ronny and said, "I understand and I forgive you."

Ronny leaped forward and threw her arms around his neck. She stoked his long black mane as a smile widened from ear to ear on her face. She didn't want this moment to end, when Hidalgo pulled away and smiled, "So, do you like being on top of the world?"

Ronny gave him a puzzled look.

He led her out of the cave onto the cliff. It overlooked the whole town and you could see fifteen miles in the distance, the entire forest and even the Hartford mansion. And the best part was that you could see everything, but no one could see you. At that moment, the trees grew greener and the forest became brighter. Ronny looked confused. Hidalgo knew what she meant, "Nature changes with my emotions." There was a long pause as Ronny took in everything.

"Wow! I really does feel like being on top of the world."

"Yeah, I love it up here. Oh, I've got an idea!"

"What?"

"How about we make this our spot? Our little piece of being on top of the world."

"I like that idea, Hidalgo"

"Great!"

"Hey Hidalgo?"

"Yeah?"

"Who are those horses inside on the cave walls?"

"Oh, come with me, I'll show you."

The two of them walked inside the cave once again. Ronny pointed her flashlight to the paintings.

"The one on top is my Grandfather. His name is Onnipotente. His name means Almighty. He was the first Protector of the Universe. I never knew him because he died in a battle before I was born. The second is my Father. I defiantly knew him. His name is Sunka Tanka which means Protector of the Universe. He lived with Indians-"

"Wait Indians?"

"Yes, well, they said the powers of his brown colorings were the great Shield of Protection covering his powerful chest, the Medicine Hat of a Great Healer covering his poll and fine ears; and the sign of strength and ferocity from the Grizzly Paw marking that lay across his back and fast-racing hind quarters. And most undeniably, it explained his celestial blue eyes. The eyes that was considered the final proof that the birthplace of Great Spirit Horse was from the heavens, a vision of the Great Creator who resided in the world above. The Legend of the Great Spirit Horse depicts an animal that grows in his powers. Originally set on earth to protect the animal kingdom, he eventually became a Protector of the Universe like his father. He departed the earth to fulfill his destiny, but hoped to maintain the balance, peace, and harmony that he struggled for by leaving behind his children, like me and my brother and sister. The last picture is my brother. His name is Chubasco. My father and my mother, Madison, had three children. My older brother, then me, and my younger sister, Olena. In my family, all the men are great and powerful spirit horses."

"That's so sexist!"

"I know, but it's the way life works, I can't change that. This is also the reason we curse other people. We are mighty spirits. Well, my father lived with Indians; he was 154 when he left us, well in human years."

"How old are you in human years?"

"I am 92. My brother when he left was 120, he died by his owner. That was a sad day when we got the news he was killed because he hurt himself in a competition." His voice trailed off.

"Well, Hidalgo, sometimes animals are put to sleep because humans don't want to see them suffer."

"True, so this is why I'm here; I am the new Protector of the Universe! Whenever the current Protector dies, he gets put up in the sky with the Great Kings of the Past. A long with that, their spirit goes on this wall and their picture it showed here. A horse can only die in battle, if a human kills him, or if he decides to leave like my father did."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"I don't know where my mother and sister are today, there could have died because they are regular horses, not Great Spirit horses, like me. But hey, enough about me, lets go for a ride!"

To Be Continued.
