Equid's name: Costello
Story: Costello's hooves thundered against the rocky ground, leaving a thin trail of dust in his path. He ran along side his father, Rocky, who was the lead stallion. As the herd jumped over rocks and climbed even higher up the mountain. His tail swayed behind him as he ran, the hair on his neck and back flowed with his running. Costello thought to himself about being the lead stallion of his own herd.
They slowed to a stop as they neared the flat top of the mountain, they all embraced the break to catch their breath. Costello's mother, Dusk, came up to him, nipping at the young stallion's ear playfully. He motioned happily to her, bobbing his head up and down, as his sister, After Dark, darted towards Dusk from behind him.
Costello rolled his eyes playfully at them and turned his head to his father when he heard the cry of a young foal. He looked around, alert and anxious. The herd panicked as one of the older mares saw the foal about twenty tail lengths away from the herd. Costello darted towards it when he suddenly heard screeches and cries from the herd behind him.
Ignoring the herd, he turned his head to where the young foal was standing, petrified and shaking. He stepped back a bit in surprise as he watched a large mountain lion come near the foal. Costello snorted in sudden anger and sprinted to the distance between the lion and the foal; he stood largely, facing the lion, startling it. He easily could hear the large sound of gasps of disbelief travel through the herd. The lion, regaining its awareness of him, hissed and lashing its tail from side to side.
The young stallion reared up, standing tall against his foe, snorting at the lion. The lion backed up as Costello pounded his hooves against the rocky ground. He saw the lion's eyes widen as it barely dodged his hooves. From behind him, he could hear the foal scurry back to the herd and the sound of relived mares followed. He focused his attention back to the lion that had now regained its balance and was stalking Costello.
Costello lashed his long tail at the lion but it pounced before he could rear up again. He could feel the lion's claws dig into his warm back, as he screeched in the sudden pain, he started to buck and throw his feet and head around to try to lose the lion. Costello felt the lion lose its grip on him and fly off his back to the ground, Costello quickly faced the lion that was now laying on its back in fear. He reared up again and stomped right next to the lion's body, putting out his nose close to the lion and snorting.
The lion hissed and scrambled to his feet, bolting the other direction, down the rocky mountain. Costello glared at where it had disappeared and then turned around to his herd who were staring at him in amazement. His mother started to nay happily and rear back, kicking out her front legs. The rest of the herd followed her lead, as he rushed back up to them. The herd surrounded him happily, though he spotted the foal, rubbing his nose up to its own. His father toyed at his ear happily and he stared to run back down the mountain. He followed closely behind him, followed by the herd in perfect sink.
