Through the rippling winds and dusty fields trotted a fair, silver horse, her head raised high and her gait ellegantly wide. Truth be told, she hadn’t seemed to had gotten far with such a display. When she turned, she could still see the outskirts of Hnitbjorg territory. Had any other horse been in her spot, they would already have been halfway across the world.
But of course, going at such speeds was unnatural for Stardust. Cantering would rattle her delicate build, as a storm would do with a rose. Her flowing tail, her glistening pelt, her soft mane; all of it would be ruined! While some mares attracted by wit, skill, and strength, Stardust’s chances of getting a Stallion were based solely on her looks. If Stardust met and Earl or a King, she didn’t want to have a hair out of place for the experience.
Perhaps a lone, loving Earl would fare swelly for her, especially if she could allure them into making her their lead mare. Then again, the herds of a King might be better for her. Power in numbers, as was often said. The less work Stardust had to do, the prettier she would remain.
A sudden howl caught her attention.
Stardust gasped and whirled around, sighting a triangular head pointed at the clouds. Two silhouettes slunk towards her through the tall wildgrass, and the third jumped down to join them.
Wolves.
They were common predators in this time of year, feasting on newborn foals and lone maidens.
Stardust would be an easy meal for a pack of three.
She turned to flee, but was greeted by another pair of snapping jaws from before her. Stardust reared up, watching three red wolves emerge from the grass and circle her. Occasionally one would dive in to nip her hocks or bite her hooves.
She suddenly found herself wishing she’d spent her foalhood fighting and racing with the other fillies and colts. She would have, if she’d known nature was this immerciful.
“Help!” She whinnied, praying for a miracle.

That sounds good. I'll just post that on the correct thread.
