Hello! Welcome to my first novel, and I hope you enjoy. A faint stir in the trees. A bolt of lightning struck to the ground, the only trace left, ashes. I had witnessed all these things. The ashes shiver from the wind, the cold, bone-freezing breeze. Perhaps the wind made my hide stand on end, but pieces by pieces, I'm gone. (No!) I think. (It's a dream, a dream..) But it's too real. I felt it, the chill flowing through my blood, my marrow. Not believing, I look at my hooves, looking solid. I take a deep breath, but not a feeling passes through my nostrils. But dead or alive, I simply don't care anymore. A gripping power freezing my body- or was it spirit now?- sends me ramming myself into abyss. But I seem to flow through it, and oddly enough, bewitching myself to more power. (So I am dead.) Tears well up in my eyes. Wait! I stare at my hooves, the millionth time today I did that. But this time it was different. It was now a clear crystal blue, slightly transparent with a tinge of silver lining my pelt. I smile, running into the forest again, knowing I'm safe. My tears float silently into the wind. END
