Name: Shade
Prompt: Shade was born blind and could never understand what is that "seeing" that everybody keeps telling him about. He was going around pretty fine, but still couldnt keep up with other foals and that upset him a bit, until on one fateful day, he met a bat roosting near his herd's night shelter. The friendly night hunter was the first creature who truly spoke on the same language as Shade! Fascinated, Shade kept coming back to the bat roost every night for as long as it stayed there, and asked the bat all about how it flies, and after his teacher left for another hunting ground, he started mastering the art of Hearing. By his first year, he was the swiftest and most agile equid in the herd! He feels the sound in his mane, using his long tail as an antennae; by raising it and carefully "listening" to the wind with every hair, he is able to tell exactly where every branch and blade of grass is, for many steps ahead. He's become a night ghost of the mountainside, able to outrun every other competetor wherever his herd went, legendary for his ability to outmaneuver any predator. He may be a bit slower than others when discovering an unknown area, but he prefers to go slow and steady and learn everything about a place before he can truly
fly through it.
