One Wish, One Dream, and
One Determined Mind
A short girl about 16 years old stood in the wind with her dark brown hair swaying out beside her. If you were to walk up to her right now you would be startled by the look on her face, but if you knew her you could tell she was talking to her horse Linda. Maggie only made that face while talking to Linda, Linda was stubborn, the mare didn't like coming when called, but Maggie never gave up.
Maggie's eyes popped open and she jumped back with a yelp. Right in front of her was a boy about four inches taller then her, his green eyes wide and empty like she would fall into them if she looked at them longer, but she held his eyes with her dark blue ones, slit like a cats. She looked at him; her eyes were like crocodiles that would snap at any minute.
"Sorry," he said still looking at her with those empty eyes. "It's just that you looked like you were trying to think of something but forgot how." He laughed at the way he stated the way she had looked.
His eyes turned to a green fire when he laughed; startled Maggie stepped back and looked him up and down. She had never in her life seen someone like him. He had brown shaggy hair that looked like he had been racing through the wind, and his clothes were tattered at places. "Who are you?" she said slowly tilting her head like a dog in wonder.
Her voice was nothing like what he thought it would sound like. It was sweet and gentle, she reminded him of a blue jay singing, but she had a hint of foreboding. He would never do anything to make this girl mad, he decided. She is strange.
"Sorry," he said once he got him composer back "my name is Mark" she looked puzzled again. "I was riding by on my way to Mardulan," he pointed to the horse that was now happily grazing while being inspected by a curious Linda. "To find Master Seterios, and then I saw you with your face all scrunched up, so… I came over to see what you were doing."
Linda walked over to Maggie and she jumped on her back. "oh," she said "well I was talking to Linda." She pointed to the horse she was sitting on, Mark looked at her puzzled. "Wild magic," she said, like everyone knew about wild magic. She started turning toward a path in the woods. "You said that you were looking for Seterios." Her smile came back "he'll brag about this for the rest of him life." She laughed and started down the path. "Well, Come on!" she yelled behind her going into a gallop.
