Username: goldenrose7
Equid's name: Desert Rose (Rose for short)
Short story: The sun beat down on the sand, the light gleaming over the land. The young mare, her eyes bright, trotted over the steaming sand as if it were nothing, her hooves accustomed to the heat. Her coat looked like the sunset over the golden sand, and her deep green eyes like the trees surrounding the peaceful and rare oasis. She was alone, but she kept her head held high as she darted across the sand, her light hooves making soft indents. Suddenly, a hissing sound made way past her ear, and she froze, her tail fluffing with surprise.
A rattlesnake laid curled, poised to strike, his diamond shaped head flicking back and forth with poisoned fangs. Lifting onto her back legs, she whinnied a warning to the snake, bringing down her hooves hard on the sand, refusing to let herself be scared away. The snake recoiled, before striking forwards again, the mare leaping and darting around his head, seemingly dancing over the sand. All the while, a stallion, his dazzling sorrel coat, watched her with curious eyes, as she worked her way around the snake. And suddenly, in one swift movement, she brought her foot down on the snake's body, killing it. Lifting her head proudly, she noticed the stallion for the first time, tilting her head curiously. The sorrel made his way forwards slowly, whinnying a hello to the mare, as she peered hesitantly at him. After a long while of just staring at each other, the mare allowed herself to step forwards, greeting the stallion with a proud whinny. The pair have been friends ever since, and the mare took the name Desert Rose, the stallion taking the name of Rolling Thunder.
