Ace of Spades
The Ace is in the Hole...
The Ace is in the Hole...
Large feathered hooves two-beated gracefully over the dusty trail that led into a shadowed forest. The aroma of the pine wood was almost overpowering, but I still pushed on, not caring if the scent would cling to my silky mane for weeks on end. I was a monster standing in at just shy of eighteen point three hands. My coloring was a rare one; blue blagdon to be exact. I knew that my looks were killer, for mares had told me so, but never would I give out my heart again. Not after Peaceful Sunset. She was a gorgeous Shire mare like myself. She stood at seventeen point two hands and had the most warm chestnut coloring you'd ever seen on a mare. We flirted with one another for the first two and a half years of our lives, giggling at each other's jokes, giving a friendly nip on the rump every now and again, but when we turned three, that's when things heated up.
It was Spring, the time where love is afoot and magical things happen. Sunset had been in foal with my child for almost a year, and finally she had left for the foaling grounds. I waited for a day after she left. No one came. I figured she must be tired, so she wanted to rest. A week went by. I knew something was wrong. I went to the foaling grounds, and a horrible sight greeted me. My love and child were dead I snorted in pain just thinking about it. Never again did I give my heart to a mare.
So now here I am, wandering around with no purpose until now. I was going to be king of these lands. I reared high and screeched out a warning to all intruders.
The lands of Pine Trail now belong to me! No equine shall take my position away from me! Let it be known that Ace of Spades now reins supreme!
However, I added a little something under my breath for all to hear. This was for us, Sunse. I will always remember you...
