Following the path to Danger

You swallowed hard, you didn't want to scare the little one but you had to try. You got to your knees gently, and sat back on your heels.

"You go over there, let me be alone with it." you said.

Kadar did not question as he left and headed for a nearby tree, climbing up it and watching over you both. You sat looking at the infant, wondering over what you could do.

"Hey. . " you started, "My names (y/n), I wonder what yours is."

The foal's ears perked up as it heard your words, you slowly crossed your legs as you sat more comfortably.

"I know your scared, your all alone. I know what that feels like, to wonder where your parents are."

The foal seemed to relax a little, you slowly itched yourself forward closer to the foal and slowly lifted your hand, making sure that the foal could see that their was nothing about it that meant harm.

"That other guy? His name is Kadar, we are best friends. We want to help you, it's ok. We aren't like those cruel other people that take away your families."

You quickly glanced at Kadar, he gave you a thumbs up. You held your shaky hand out as the foal cautiously smelled your fingers, you gasped a little when it licked your finger tips. You giggled.

"That tickles, hehe."

You slowly moved your hand forward and gently cupped the foals cheek. The foal did not move but also did not run, you released a deep breath as you never realised your were holding it in.

"See? I'm not gonna hurt you." you moved your hand back in front of the foal so it could see the truth.

The foal seemed to try and stand up but hurled over again and landed on your lap.

"Whoa easy there." you rubbed its neck.

The foal seemed to be a little shocked from the impact but you soon felt its body relax against you. You felt it's nose nudge against your belt, and then you remembered.

"You must be hungry, you cant walk so you must. . ." you stopped.

You then noticed small damp patches of the foal's coat and a small remain of it's umbilical cord still attached to it's stomach.

"You only must be a few hours old!" you gasped, that means that this baby needed milk and fast.

You signalled Kadar over, he slowly approached you til he was within ear shot.

"Kadar, this baby is only a new-born! We have to get it food fast or else it'll die!"

Kadar hesitated for a moment, "You think we can carry it back to Masyaf?"

You looked down at the foal, it's eyes were half open and it looked tired and weak.

"We'll have to, there's no other way. Come help me."

Kadar and you both carefully lifted the infant, you held it's head and front legs while Kadar held it's back legs. You both ran equally as you both made your way back through the canyon.

((Be careful not to get the names mixed up, because I know I did while writing this scene XD))

"Easy, easy!"

Both you and Kadar carefully laid the foal down in the hay of an empty stall in the stables, the horse keeper must have heard the commotion because it wasn't long before he appeared.
