The land groaned as the tall stallion movements brought him into the Sandy Shores. It had felt him before, but he was... different. Well, duh! After all, he wasn't a colt anymore. Hitoriaruki, the grave wanderer, the one who had once tried to drown himself in this very sea - to be stopped by a black stallion, the king of these lands. Still a king? So it seemed. Finely tuned auds picked up the reverberations of Flamed Spirit, his once "savior". Hitori had never decided whether he was thankful to the stallion or not - but he was here, the only place 'ruki could remember.
Everything else seemed a dream... the magic piper, who brought so many under her control. He didn't know how he got away; he only knew he found himself in an area far from the cave. Tri-colored stallion shuddered - to this day, he still hated closed places like that one.
Flick his auds, he through his head back and nickered gently. He wasn't here to fight - wasn't here even to stay. He was just here to feel like he was alive again, instead of a phantom corpse moving because the wind told him to. He wasn't just a shadow, and never had been - though one would have thought, by his words, that he was. The young stallion disliked speaking, and his delicate flutes couldn't stand sharp sounds. That much hadn't changed - or, at least, it hadn't changed for the better. It was possible it had changed for the worst.
Tall - nearly 17 hands - his build was solid but fast. Being a mutt does that too you - you get rolled and stretched, your shape a mixture of every breed known to man. Or horse. Either way, you were different. No trait of his was specifically related to a certain breed. He called himself a Shinwa, though he didn't know that it meant "myth" or "legend". He just knew that that was what the wind told him. He was nothing out of the ordinary - just your average young stallion who knew nothing of what had happened since the floods.
Yep, he was average all right. Completely and totally. Fully and entirely.
Not.
