why are they yelling?
She has been alone for almost as long as she can remember. The winter air stings her lungs and yet she still continues to cry out as she struggles to wade in the knee deep water. The current fights against her, dragging her every step down to a leaden crawl. Her coat is sodden with river water and tears. Abandoned, left behind, rejected. She has wandered this riverbank since she was young.
She remembers it well. She was a new mare, only four, beautiful and carrying her first foals within her. The herd had always needed to cross this river in the summer, when they migrated to fresher grass. She had made the trip successfully before, even surviving as a new filly. This time was different. She took a step, then another, and another. It was too late by the time she noticed the slate bottom of the river slipping from under her hooves. The current, strengthened by spring's snowmelt, swept her down. The mare's body battered against the rocks as she struggled to right herself, her legs flailing uselessly through the water column while she sank deeper and deeper. Her cries never reach the surface, the water eagerly rushing into her lungs and choking her to silence. The mare slowly drowned, entombed in the icy, crystalline currents.
That would not be the last anyone saw of her, however. That winter, an unlucky few began seeing- and hearing- the apparition of a spotted horse. Crying out into the darkness, her misty breath disintegrating into the sky. She is searching. Searching for the herd that left her behind. The herd she will never run with again. Her keens are as clear and sharp as the river she's trapped in. She is an omen of things to come. Darkness. Death. Disease. A symbol of the future accident that will befall the witness. Few have come face to face with her, and fewer still have lived long enough to speak of her appearance. She is as beautiful up close as she is from afar, but there is something wrong. Something very, very wrong. She is sodden, dripping wet despite her almost floating mane and tail. Her soft, milky eyes are blank and glassy, yet still provoke the unnerving sensation of being watched. Perfectly clear water leaks from her nose and mouth in a steady stream. Her beautiful coat hides greyish-purple, frostbitten flesh underneath. She is freezing and clammy to the touch. Some report that- at times- she appears to be followed by the faintest specters of two newborn colts. Other times, she is supposedly seen with one of her various victims astride her back.
Although her appearance is unnerving, she is docile. Only a warning rather than a direct cause of what her victims will suffer in the future. Her cries to be found and grieved for herald an unfortunate fate to those who can hear them. [484 words]
