Story:

Sunrise came, and Nadya's heart was still pounding. He was so excited that he'd barely been able to sleep, but was too anxious to tell anyone about the yearling. What if she never returned? What if no one believed him? He felt as though his chest might burst at any moment.

Nadya rushed through the daily chores so fast that even his neighbor, Thega, noticed with a chuckle.

"Found a new friend, have you?" the wrinkled old orc said with a wink. Nadya turned a bit pink, and the neighbor laughed. It was true Nadya had found a friend, but it wasn't the kind she was expecting. She waved him off and he ran off through the colorful tents and stalls back into dunes.

He hadn't thought it over before, but quickly realized he had no idea where he might find his filly again. He started on the path to the well again, but it didn't feel right. He climbed to the top of a dune and scanned the horizon, but couldn't discern anything alive in the shifting sands. He hopped down and began to wander the perimeter of the village.

Everyone seemed to move so slowly as they went about their daily routine. For them, nothing had changed, nothing was wrong, nothing was missing.  Nadya sighed. Maybe at had all been a dream. 

Defeated, Nadya sunk down to his knees. In the shadow of a great drift, the sand here was cool to the touch. He fell backwards and closed his eyes. 

Something soft was tickling his face. Nadya opened his eyes to see a large grey blob filling his vision. It sniffed around his nose, thick whiskers feeling his face, before moving down to nibble at his ear. His yearling was back!

She plopped down next to him and rolled onto her back, letting the tough desert grasses scratch away every unpleasant itch. Nadya laughed at her antics in the sand and she snorted at the sound. With a final, satisfied huff, she laid her head against his lap. Gingerly, Nadya combed the hair back from her forehead. It was thick and luxurious, and felt like threads of silk slipping through his rough fingers. She blinked dazedly, and nudged her head back against his leg. He gave her a firm pat on the neck, and the two sat in peaceful silence.

Nadya couldn't help but admire the yearling's graceful build and dainty hooves. He stroked the golden strands of her fur along her neck and slowly moved his hand down to feel the lean muscles under her shoulder. The yearling made a sudden whinny, and bounced to her feet. Instinctively, Nadya tightened his grip, and was pulled to his feet. She felt the strange weight too, and her front hooves popped off the ground and she let loose an echoing neigh.

Nadya was unprepared. He clung tighter, letting out a shriek of his own as his body rose into the air. The horse turned her head slightly, looking back at him with a strange expression. Slowly, she descended until all four hooves were firmed planted back in the sand. Nadya slid off her back, arms shaking, and then laughed.

The filly echoed his laughter with a shrill whinny.
