History:
Here 'e is. the overweight man led his customer to the stable. In it, was a flaming chestnut foal. With wings. Well, he's special ain't he? the customer leaned in over the rusty iron gate trapping the young horse in, Yeah, yeah. 'E's pretty rare. Not ever day ya find an 'orse like this little fella. laughed the owner. His laugh was rough like sandpaper, and always ended with him coughing furiously into his huge hand. Kori snorted in surprise, backing away a few steps. The crossties that were fastened firmly onto his head collar prevented him from moving much, and his wings had been restricted to his sides with rope. Kori's eyes were wide with fear. He didn't know what was going on.
All the other horses in the barn next to him were nothing like him at all; they had no wings, no feathers, no tail like his. He was the only one with crossties, the only one with a scruffy blue headcollar digging into his face. But he was thin, like the others. Kori had shaggy, thick fur that was caked in mud and dirt, just like the others. The foal shot his head up in the air when he saw the man's huge hand coming for his head, but his head stopped half-way up. The noseband dug down into his face. He could feel it gradually rubbing into his skin. The owner had already caught one of the crossties and he jerked it harshly to encourage him forward. Caught him m'self. All alone, 'e was. 'Ardly put up a fight, 'e was that weak. Kori tried to escape his smoky breath, but the man had a firm grip on the ties. How much? asked the other.
The man didn't even get a chance to answer, he was already squealing in pain as Kori turned and sank his teeth into the man's hand using all his force. Suddenly, the barn was alive. The horses all hooked their tired heads over the stable doors and whinnied and snorted, encouraging him on. Kori reared, lashing out with his skinny front legs. The customer had falled back in surprise and was curled up with his hands over his head, as if begging Kori not to hurt him. Suddenly, the wooden door caging him in burst open in an explosion of splinters. The metal door made a deafening clang as it hit the concrete floor. Kori twisted and turned in a desperate final attempt to get loose. He could feel a warm sensation moving over his head. The foal realised that the halter was snapping. He pulled harder and harder, squirming out of the head collar. Finally, the tattered material holding him in snapped. The skinny chestnut foal reared in triumph, then he turned to the exit and hurried out. As he was heading towards the half open barn door, the owner stood up, clutching his injured hand. He headed directly to the foal, a knife in his hand. Kori kicked out in self defence, but the man had the knife up in the air. He struck down, hitting Kori's wing. Kori couldn't flap his wings, they were still strapped together, but he could see the wound the knife had caused. He squealed and kicked out a second time, knocking the knife out of his hand. The foal rushed for the door, and he was out. He galloped for the nearby forest, when something caught his eye. A rusted piece of metal was sticking out from the building. Kori thought for a second, then skidded to a halt next to the spike. It was about two to three foot off the ground, perfect hight. He rubbed his wing against the spike, breaking th rope holding him, but also scratching him. Right now, though, he didn't care.
Kori stretched his wings and whinnied in happiness. He arched his back and lurched himself into the air. The foal wobbled about a bit, not used to flying after being trapped in the barn for so long, but he was just so happy about being free, he felt all of his strenght come rushing back. Free! Finally free! Kori felt a grin come across his face, despite the dried blood. He headed straight for home, excited to start his new life in the wild.
Kori felt ontop of the world.
