Prompt:Not defending his little sister as she was attacked and driven away from the herd
Mirriam was always the smallest, the weakest, the wobbliest on her little legs. Taiyo was the biggest of the foals, being an earlyborn and a couple of full weeks older than all the others. The only one who could rival him in size was Sky, a brute of a horse and genuinely cruel whenever he could be. He was always the meanest to little Mirri as she stumbled along behind and tripped over seemingly smooth ground. Taiyo loved his little sister more than anything in this life and would fight to the death for her if she asked him. Like a sparrow, or a field mouse Mirri was. She was so clumsy, always bruised and battered from something, anything - but when she started running, it was as if the whole world fell away and she was all that was left, more beautiful and elegant than anything Taiyo had ever seen. She simply flew. It was as if, as soon as she started, she grew the most fabulous wings of air, and as soon as they slowed again, they were torn off her. Taiyo wished, more than anything else, that he could give Mirri the wings he always seemed to wear, the wings that had people with shiny wrist -tick-tock-boxes and green paper come to stare at him, at how he moved so swiftly... but never at Mirri. No, not until they watched her run. Then they couldn't take their eyes off her - until she slowed and crashed to the ground. Not until another Sky or some other foal 'bumped into' her, throwing her out of the way into a crumpled heap of shining black horse.
One fine morning, Taiyo rolled onto his legs and snuffled Mirri awake, telling her he was just off for a little canter. Mirri sniffed him back and curled closer into herself. It was beautiful, all misty and shiny, everything coated in the fines of dew. Taiyo took his time, snuffling at every sweetly scented blossom and rubbing on every tangy pine. All morning he romped, and when he finally returned, Mirri was gone. He never saw her again. Surely the others, who snuck closer away, and drove her further away were the reason she was gone. No, never again would he let them hurt anyone like her. No, it was too late for that, Mirri was gone
little edit: Faraday is very special to me,as he was my first-ever Metalleian Warmblood, and I won him by writing about Mirri, and the fire that separated them. Eventually, I worked up the courage to get her made as a custom by Nell, and now she and Fara are raising their foal together, and running with the rest of Faraday's herd.
Here is their story
