‘I'm very good at judging others, Illinois. I know what they're made off, where they grow from and when they are everything but a bonus to the herd.” He kept a short break between his words? Whereafter she felt how he pulled out his nose and gently touched her skin. “I'm sorry lill'girl, but I dont have any other option. The growth and developement of the herd is the highest call of leadership, so you understand I cant let him get away with it.“ The image of the almighty leader Loki clouded more and more According Illi's eyes began to dilute. “But..”“No buts? Illinois” Sternly he looked at her, not a spark of pity you could perceive “ Nyorai will take care of you, you can trust me.” …


Suddenly the emaciated mare opened her eyes, Sweat mixed with tears drain all the way down. Attend into the darkness, seeking light, but my efforts were in vain. Shivers swarm over her back, her breathing was heavy and irregular. It was just a dream Illi, just a horrible imaginary thing.
Unfortunately it wasnt. Until recently, the dream was more than just a dream, it was reality. Illi was overpowered by a sense of powerlessness, despair, and most of all... Grief. Illi shook her special painted head, her diluted eyes wretched at a grey, dark-brown squirrel who was jumping all the way into the big three. His fluffy tail graced its behind while he was still jumping very happily back and forth. It was amazing, Illinois thought. So free, so unthinking. Illi was still amazed By the beauty of these little creatures. But yea.. Illinois loved nature and everything what lived in it. Accept for the other horses. She was a very insecure mare. She had a lot of scars and was also very thin. She thought she was ugly, especially towards beautiful mares. It made her shy. Also the ones who judged her were responsible for her timid personality. And ofcourse there was Nyorai, who mutilated her whole body. But it was her inner beauty who made her as wonderfull as she was. Short, there is more than meets the eye.


Suddely her eyes found a magical hue in the sky. It was beautiful..
