Freedom takes to the sky;
Dawn, a time of rebirth and renewal. It was that dawn that sparked with electricity and smelled faintly of ozone and moisture. The storm was threatening to break, keeping the normally technicolored sky from showcasing its brilliance. Dark clouds circled the bowl of indigo and sporadic flashes lit them from within.
The stallion frowned, looking at the sky and then turning his head to the cart full of his… merchandise. The creatures within were rustling and moving, unease spiking through the beings that he was carting. The dapple gray stallion snorted and moved on. He had been moving through the realm for the last few days, offering the unusual creatures to any that wanted to pause and debate spending their funds.
As he entered the Viride Forest, a sharp crack echoed through the world and caused him to start. In the movement, his cart found itself buried between the raised roots of a large tree. With a curse, he released his tether and started to try to figure out what he could do to release the full cart. This had been a rough trip, very few wanting to purchase his wares. Under the cover, one dragon let loose a cry and he snapped at it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Inside of the cage, a small dragon hissed at the infuriating stallion. She was smaller and colored like the sunrise that was supposed to have broken in the world. Wisdom coursed through her mind, knowing what had gone on and what the stupid stallion was wanting. A few horses had been enamored with her, but none had offered a price that the mottled mutt had liked.
Smacking the side of the cage with her tail resulted in another curse from the stallion. It amused her that he was so indignant at her every movement. Tapping it progressively louder, she waited to see if he would play right into her plans.
“You stupid dragon…” He hissed, bumping the cart with his hip. It was the movement that he had been waiting for and she rocked her body against the bars in time with his hit. The cage fell to the ground, erupting in a shower of splintered wood and hissing dragon.
The small dragon hissed at him one last time before releasing a call that echoed through the forest with savage pride. She didn’t know if any other horses were nearby, nor did she particularly care at that point. She was free again, free to launch into the sky and soar on her beautiful wings.

And maybe, maybe she will feel her heart singing that same song.
