Talons
The click-clack-click-tick-tock-click-clock of my talons on the dry, cracked volcanic rock, as I followed the grey mare. I found it to be surprisingly hot here, and wished I was more comfortable in the water with my odd feet. Though I found it natural to use my eagle-like, taloned feet, I found it difficult to wade in the water past my knees, which made me feel even more unnatural. The rock, on the opposite side of the spectrum, easy to grip with my flexible, taloned feet, the rock burned the scaly skin.. So I was still some creature.. Some beast.
My coloration did not help; I looked like one of the small serpents we saw on the way here, with the green tones diluting the darkness of the grey underneath me. Though the lighter color meant I was cool than the dark mare who had brought me here. Rael Fire; so much like the name I had been given during my short time with the faeries.. 'Frail Fire'. I decided to just be called Fire, so people wouldn't think me frail and weak by my name.. I saw the silhouettes of other horses nearby, and wondered to myself if she knew them. Which I knew the most likely answer was a yes.

I'm a beast; you can tell by my Talons
