The day after Sashaq returned the zombie to his master Crème found her at the bazaar and told her a story of a hidden treasure trove that would satisfy both Sashaq’s craving of adventure and the desire of her growing foal for all things sparkly. As they made their way towards the Highlands they came across a scar in the land, a kind of burnt red-brown soil near the hills.
“Think it’s safe to cross?” Sashaq asked. Crème had come from Aindell only traversing to Earth when Noor, Sashaq’s mother, had asked her to watch over her foal. Of the two of them the cream horse knew the land better.
Crème sniffed the ground. “It should. Looks like it stretches for a few miles. Might be better to go through than go around.” She curled her neck around to look at Sashaq. “Up to you, mama-to-be. How badly does baby want shinies in volume?”
Sashaq was looking behind them. Where those hoof beats in the distance? “Hm?”
The cream horse grinned and repeated herself, then added, “The amount that you describe I’ve only heard about in dragon hoards or old sunken vessels.”
The sound of a distant racer faded and Sashaq shook out her mane, the movement jostling the corrupted tear she had acquired from the dark elfling. It hung around her neck on a single cord, the first shiny she had been gifted in this realm. Perhaps something she would pass to her first foal.
She looked at the earth where the soil showed between the hilly land. “Let’s go through. It’s about time for a pre-adventure.”
Crème shook her head, but lead the way into the deadened area.
The thundering of a hooved creature traveling at speed across the ground rose behind them again and this time both mares turned to look – just in time to see a white-marked black mare zipping towards them. She was aimed to pass between the mares, but showed no signs of slowing down. Crème whinnied and pushed Sashaq sideways so that the stranger passed Crème’s farside, Sashaq safe on her left.
“Oi!” Crème shouted after the careless mare. “Pregnant mama over here!”
Sashaq grinned and laughed. “Don’t be mad, I’m sure she knows what she’s doing.”
“Still, you should–”
The black mare turned her head and whinnied a challenge at Sashaq. Crème widened her eyes at the veiled insult, but Sashaq laughed and pawed the ground.
“Oh, it is on!”
“Wait, Sashaq–” It was too late as Noor’s daughter had taken off after the black mare. Crème groaned at first, and tossed her head, then leaned forward into a canter to follow the two black mares.
