HERE IT IS!!! 'Flame of the Desert'!! I hope you like this story! Sorry that this first part is SUPER short, but it's the prologue, and is shorter than my regular parts, which are about 1,000 Words each!
On an outcropping of rock, a lone stallion stood overlooking his herd, his palomino coat shining dimly in the moonlight. A flurry or wingbeats drew his attention to the sky, and he saw his mate, Oakcloud, landing beside him.
“What did your spies report?” He asked softly.
“The Jungle is quiet…” She nickered, “And the other herds have also sent patrols to the Jungle…save for Wind Herd of course.”
The stallion snorted, “Of course Wind Herd didn’t send scouts.” He growled, “Spiralwing wouldn’t be feather-brained enough to send scouts across or near River Herd’s or our territories, he knows what happens to Wind Herd steeds who wander to close to enemy borders…”
The mare nodded, “Very much so.” She nickered, “So what do you want to do?”
“Did it seem like the other patrols were interested in the area as well?” He asked.
“Why, yes, Sunwing. That is one of the things all of my spies agreed on. Every one of the herds wants that territory for themselves.”
Sunwing grew quiet for a moment, “Moon Herd should be quite easy to deter…Silverwing will not want an all out war…not to mention the territory is practically useless to Moon Herd…I’m unsure why Silverwing sent scouts there at all.”
Oakcloud shrugged, “Perhaps to see if he should move his whole herd to warmer territory?” She suggested.
Sunwing snorted, “Doubtful, I’ll send an envoy to Silverwing…convince him away from the Territory.” He nickered.
“What of the other Herds?” She questioned.
Sunwing growled, “If the other Herds and their leaders REFUSE to give us the land…there WILL be war…” He hissed, "I can promise you that...Grass Herd WILL have that land..."
The Lead Mare smiled cruelly, “I almost hope that they DON’T agree to give us the land…” She snarled coolly.
“As do I, Oakcloud…as do I…” He murmured, looking out back over his herd, all of them warriors.
THERE IT IS! I hope you enjoyed it! As always, constructive criticisms, thoughts, and theories are ALWAYS welcome!!
May the wind stay strong beneath your wings,
