January 30, 2023...
The giant creature stopped its charge, a hair away from my face. I jumped back, frightened even more. The creature studied me. I took a moment to see him.
I knew it was a boy. Don't ask me how I knew. He was a horse, but...he had a horn, and wings. I think they were called alicorns. He seemed pretty harmless. I reached out a shaking hand.
"Hey, boy." I cooed, hoping my voice didn't shake. "What's your name?"
I didn't expect him to respond. I just wanted to have something to say. But there was a quiet voice nagging at me, almost.
Greyfell.
How did I know that?
"Greyfell?" I asked uncertainly.
His head nuzzled my shoulder. I took that as a yes.
"Okay, boy, do you have a home?"
He nuzzled me again.
"A family?"
Nuzzle.
"Can you take me to them?"
It was the only lead I had. If he had a home, it was a place to sleep. Family? More cute Alicorns! Besides, he was being super friendly. Maybe I did know this creature, but I didn't remember.
"Can I...ride you?"
Greyfell seemed hesitant. But he finally nuzzled me and I crept onto his back.
"Okay boy, take me to your home!"
