After what seemed like hours, I could see the canyon in the distance. I galloped like I hadn't been running for hours. My newfound energy got me there in no time. When I reached the edge I thought about what the brown mare said. What if I am bait? They still know where they are, they would come here.
I raced down the canyon and up to the tribe. I neighed loudly and stomped my hooves so everyone could hear me. Strong Night ran up to me but I didn't nuzzle him like usual, I had to find Sun Eagle.
"Strong Night, the army is coming for us. Where is Sun Eagle?" his face searched the village with a worried look planted on it. A human came running towards me and I realized it was Sun Eagle.
I trotted up to him and neighed happily to him. His face lit up when he saw me but I remembered what I was here for. The army was no doubt gaining on us. I stopped neighing and trotting immediately.
"Strong Night, tell the other horses!" I nickered to him with an intense tone. He nodded and cantered off to tell the others.
I backed away from Sun Eagle and reared up. I turned to him and showed him the burn that apparently meant that I belonged to the army.
His body tensed up and his jaw locked. I neighed to him, telling him to hurry. In a few minutes the whole town had been packed up and every man had been on a horse. Even those who weren't warriors were on a horse. Sun Eagle jumped on my back and I reared up. We turned to the group of about 30.
"The army is coming," he yelled loudly to me.
"Oh that's a shame!" I heard someone behind us say. A horse behind me stamped its hoof with purpose.
