Thieves of Wind
You let out a loud whinny upon seeing the light and panic, everything deeply coded into your genes is telling you to move. So do it, move! Move! Move! You turn around and take off towards the safety of the village you know as home. Nicholas, with his injured ankle tries to limp after you but only ends up with a face full of dirt and a whiney baby pout. He gets up and takes nearly two days to find someone in the woods who helps him and he leads a normal life despite the trauma of his horse just up and ditching him, the hero left the injured wimp all alone, shame on you! Said hero was eventually noticed by someone in the village, caught and given a new owner. Happy living!
