Just Keep Walking

Put one hoof in front of the other...

Studded Shoes

Your Ballator walks forward into the shadows. They continue in trepidatious silence for some time before they notice a figure before them. Thinking it may be Star, or an ally warrior,  your Ballator speeds up. They haven’t gone far when they encounter an all white, balding mountain stallion. The stallion has crazed eyes, seeming to go in different directions. Cautiously, your Ballator clears their throat. Whirling around, the white stallion shows off his scarred body as he snaps broken fangs in their direction.

“Who are you? Friend or foe?? Hannibal thinks he can trap us here, but I will fight until I die!”

He lunges forward, but disappears past your Ballator, charging off into the mist. A red-eyed owl flaps lazily overhead and your Ballator thinks it might be better if they follow its lead.

This is a Shadow Prompt. For this prompt, please depict your Ballator’s encounter with the balding stallion, Yonah the Trapped. I sure hope your Ballator doesn’t become like him!

There is a 4 stat minimum required for this prompt.
