name; Adalwulf [meaning noble bear]

personality;Adalwulf is shy, particularly towards men. If he sees there are any of the burly figures lining the bank, he sulks back into the cover of the forest. It isn't that he was abused, or attacked by one, it's their deep voices that strikes fear into his chest. It it also their quick hands, and sharp tongues that give reason to flee to safety. The few that have seen this stallion can never get close enough to touch him.
first encounter;
He's a bit of a legend around town. Some claim to see him prancing in the streets when everyone is asleep. Some have blurry and pixelated pictures of him on their phones. It isn't just his reserved nature that makes him a bit of a legend, it's also the blatant marking that resemble that of a bear. Bears have all but died out in the small fishing town, and the last one seen had been by the lake in the wee hours of the morning. Some viewed it as a sign, others were superstitious and just wanted the horse caught and broken. Either way, the elusive stallion was something special to this small town, and to the girl who gained his trust.Is it so unfair that the world would keep spinning, even as millions of it's inhabitants go through extreme circumstances each day? What would happen if the world would slow down, or give one last fast spin for someone who is in pain? In a way, the world does these things like this already, but on a smaller scale. Summer is remembered in my home as a bitter season. The sun bakes everything into an unrecognizable state, blowing forgiving and cool air across the lake. All of the horses in the barn were gone. The oldest had just left the earth to rejoin his stable mates.
The sound of passing cars was something the inhabitants of this small town were used to. the steady white noise was almost a reminder for them of a sort. Maybe it was a reminder that they weren't completely secluded, left to fend for themselves against the heat. It was long past foaling season, and the neighbors who still owned horses had small foals who were just a couple months old. It was uncommon for foals to be less than a month old by august. In a town that depended on good show horses, we desperately clinged to the hope that each new foal was going to be the one to make us rich.
Every morning there were fishermen lined up around the lake, but when I begrudgingly trudged down the trail to the beach that morning, there weren't as many as there normally was. I turned my head against the wind with some difficulty, and saw something gold glinting in the sunlight near the water. I knew right away it was a horse, but a horse that well groomed was rare in a town as muddy as this one. I skipped down the hill, breaking into a sprint when I reached the water. The horse lifted it's head, the sun glinting off the water and striking my eyes painfully. Keeping my eyes on the horse, I slowed down to a stealthy walk. The horse was smaller than a quarter horse, and less muscled than one too. The slope of it's back was graceful and where hip turned into leg was smooth and well proportioned.
Reaching out, I crept forward, and the horse kept constant vigilance. Just when I was about to stop and try to bribe the horse closer, it spun on it's back hooves and bolted towards the safety of the thickly planted trees, tucking his rump for speed.
That was the first time I saw Adalwulf, but it wasn't the last. He is what the world gave me when my town was suffering.
