First Touch
A small, lithe little girl stepped out of the forest. She was trying to find a Neravontii. That was something she had never thought she would do, let alone try. Yet here she was, in the woods. With only an apple, and a carrot stick.

A rustle to her left, made her suck in a deep breath. She squinted her eyes, and turned slowly to face the direction that the noise was coming from. As she looked up, a brown and golden snout turned toward her.

She murmured words, only the Neravontii could understand. She spoke softly, and reached her hand out, to touch the beautiful beast. The creature shrunk away, and snorted telling her he was not ready. This made the girl sad, yet comforted by the idea of a challenge.

So the girl sat down, leaned back onto her hands, and looked up to the Neravontii. He came out of his hidden spot, and soon turned to graze beside her, showing he wasn’t afraid. The girl peeked at the stunning Neravontii, and sighed happily at his appearance. It was everything she wanted. She had always wanted one of the Neravontii with dulled up colour, yet, there had to be something bright about them.

The brown little arrows, and stripes made her happy, and she wanted to trace her fingers up, and around them. She wanted to kiss the soft nose of him, and smell his forest-y scent. She wanted to be immersed in his ways, his friends, and his family. She wanted to be a part of his life, in every way.

The girl stood up, and brushed pine needles off her pants that seemed to cling, sending them fluttering to the floor. She started talking, talking just to talk, to get the Neravontii used to her voice, and everything that went with it. “My name is Kasey. Kasey Reel. K-A-S-E-Y R-E-E-L.” She spelled out the letters to the words, and studied the Neravontii’s reaction to her voice. But he paid her no attention, and soon was back to eating.

“I came from a small village, small and far away. It was called New York. N-E-W Y-O-R-K.” Kasey took a step forward, and was soon standing next to the Neravontii.

The Neravontii just flicked its ears, and its tail curled up around its back leg. She took this as a sign of happiness, and enjoyment, and brushed her fingers down the Neravontii’s spine. He didn’t react! And anything she did was just pleasant.

It seemed almost that the Neravontii liked her company. So, she started to scratch on the Neravontii’s back, and he groaned with happiness, it must have felt good. But soon, he realized the situation, and pulled back sharply, and grunted. He turned and walked back into the forest.

"Well, Desperato, I guess your on the run. but I'm right behind you." Kasey chuckled, and followed closely behind the Neravontii. Then she realized, she had just named him! Desperato! And once you name an animal, it became your responsibility. So, she had keep up. Kasey struggled for a couple of moments before chugging up beside the Neravontii. He had slowed so she could catch up, and was happily heading in the opposite direction she wanted to go.

But who cared... right? As long as he didn't want her gone, she would be there, right beside him.

First Saddle
Kasey followed Desperato, and they soon were in a small little clearing. Being there was like magic, and all of the colors were beautiful. Desperato nudged Kasey, and she stumbled into a small little crick. "You little buggar." She mumbled, and waded out.

Kasey, splashed Desperato, and giggled. He turned toward her slowly, nickering, and pushed her back in. She fell onto her butt, soaked to the core. "Thanks a lot buddy." She smiled, and got up, ringing out the water in her hair.

She stepped toward him, and placed her hand on his shoulder, his skin flicked under her touch, but he didn't shy away. Kasey walked back through the forest, her friend at her side. As they came to a small little arena, she found her host. Mr. Collins. He was a nice man, with 5 of his own Neravontii. They all were very nice, but didn't take to her.

But she had Desperato, and he was as nice as a mouse that wanted cheese. He would do anything for her. She introduced Desperato to Mr. Collins's Neravontii. They all liked him, and were happy with his company.

As she knocked on his door, Kasey made sure Desperato was playing nice. Mr. Collins opened his door, and pushed a saddle and reigns into her hands, shoved her toward Desperato, and told her to "get 'er done!" He was a man of few words.

Kasey cautiously walked toward Desperato. When she got to him, she trailed her hands down his side, then flung her saddle over the top of him. He reared up a little bit, but came back down. He turned his head and nibbled on the stirrups. Kasey laughed, then giggled at his expression.

She tightened the cinch, soon starting to walk around with Desperato right behind her. He trotted, then started to gallop, as Kasey picked up her pace to a full sprint.

As she slowed down, breath running out of her, she slipped the bridal over his head, then watched his reaction. He didn't do anything, but was just thinking it over. He decided that it was ok. Desperato nuzzled her, asking for her to take it off, but she didn't. She was going to ride him.

First Ride
Kasey placed her foot in the stirrup, gently pulling herself up. She straddled the saddle, and grabbled the reigns into her hand. She squeezed his side, soon urging him to go forward. He wouldn't budged. She eventually had to squeeze so hard, her legs went numb.

Desperato figured out with a sharp jab to his side. He galloped forward, tiny bugs every few steps. Kasey had to hold on, but it was well worth it. he eventually calmed down enough for Kasey to show him what a right turn was, squeezing the opposite leg, and pulling in the right direction. And vice versa for the left.

She showed him how fun it was when riding with a partner. It was amazing! He had so much fun too. At the end of it all, Mr. Collins was watching, and approving happily. He clapped a couple of times, showing her how proud he was of her.

As Desperato soon became tired, Kasey slipped off of his back. She undid the cinch, and pulled off the saddle, and bridal. he shook his head, happily and nuzzled her, soon snoring. Kasey slipped away, and grabbed her sleeping bag, and pillow. She placed it next to Desperato, knowing he would watch over her.

Kasey grabbed her pillow, and snuggled in. Thee last thing she saw before she fell asleep, was Desperato's nose, nuzzling her, before he fell back asleep.
