Story/art: Wanderer was born in a Native Hawaiian settlement. He was named for the a shooting star that flew above his home the night he was born. The star was the first light to touch Wanderer's body. As he grew older, the settlement was forced to move from a volcanic eruption. Wanderer unfortunately, was not brought with the settlement and remained where the natives once remained. Wanderer soon realized, he wasn't the only one left after the eruption. There were still hundreds of animals left behind, and one small boy. Wanderer took charge as the largest animal remaining and freed all the others. He ran through the night, breaking open fence gates,and kicking water buckets to try to slow the lava that was set on destroying the town. As Wanderer saved animals, he began to notice a pain in his side. He had received a mark in his skin for saving the others. First he felt the pain on his neck, then as he saved more, he felt more pain on his shoulder. Finally, Wanderer had saved all the other animals, and forced them to flee. He still had one more life to save. He had to find the young boy that was left behind. The lava was approaching faster than ever, and the heat was starting to singe his tail. No matter how fast he ran, the heat outran him. As he approached the boy, he felt searing pain on his hip, stopped, and looked back to see the damage. In the midst of turning back to check, his face was met with the same searing pain as his hip. He ran at the boy, threw his head under him and tossed him on his back. The two then traveled to safety across the nearby river that they hoped would halt the lava flow. Once the water of the river washed against Wanderer's body, the searing pain was gone and he could now see what had resulted from it. He found a new mark on his hip, darker than the rest of his coat, that looked EXACTLY like Hawaii. His face was now darker from the heat as well, but had no fascinating shape like his hip. After all the excitement of the lava, and the fleeing, Wanderer and the boy bedded down in the tall grass nearby the river, ready to run again at any moment. They awoke the next morning to find that the lava had stopped at the river like they hoped. The two then got up and began their new journey, to a flat meadow where they created their new lives. The boy grew up, and took care of Wanderer. Every few days, the two would journey out to look for civilization, and after weeks of searching, finally found some. From then on, the two would go back and forth from their meadow home to the town nearby for food and socializing. The boy wound up meeting a girl on one of their regular trips who happened to have a horse of her own. The two fell in love and she joined him out in the meadow, where they created a family together. Wanderer and the girl's horse grew old together and lived happily in the meadow, free of volcanic threats, and with food galore.

Hawaiian Fact: The people of Hawaii consume the most Spam per capita in the U.S.
Story/art:
As the stallion slowly came back to his senses, all he could feel was the dampness of his coat, which was drenched. The wetness of the stallion’s body left sand sticking to his flank as he lay on the coastline, panting. Salty drips of water trickled down from his mane onto his lips. His memories were fuzzy- but certain.
Kai had no doubt in his mind that he had drowned- he remembered the feeling of the breath being pressed out of his lungs, as his hooves fought desperately at the water, trying to claw himself out of the current. The storms had made the skies dark, and all he could see as he fell into the deep was darkness. He had died- but somehow, he was still here, on the coast, drenched.
The stallion forced his shaky legs up,and looking in the water, saw something shocking in his reflection. His flank was covered in new markings- a sea turtle, and two dolphins jumping. Markings similar to the tattoos on many humans he’d seen around the island covered his broad neck, and new spots on his hindquarters resembled the islands where he’d always lived.
As he walked along the water, he remembered his name- meaning King of the Sea, in the native language. He wondered if that had something to do with it, as the elders had always promised his name would bring him great power. He’d certainly conquered the sea, by somehow managing not to drown. Perhaps he’d been blessed by the ocean spirits, he was alive after all.
As Kai walked along the shoreline, he began to notice that schools of small fish gathered by his hooves, trailing alongside him, following him. Confused, he stepped towards them, hoping to scare them away. Instead, the sea parted at his hooves, and they stayed near him. He walked further, intrigued, and the sea made him a way through, and not a hair on his coat was wet. The spirits of the sea had blessed Kai, chosen him. His name appeared to be fitting- for now he was truly the king of the sea. The ocean parted at his feet, and all of its people followed him, from the largest whales to the very smallest of fish.
