don't call my name

[criticism, contact post, comments screened]

[He lifts his head and sniffs the air, crips and cold- with the lingering scent of snake and sea, entwined together. The sweet aftertaste of the snack lingers and the eight-legged steed licks his lips. Not hungry, but the crave for more treats does not stop, and he begins whining and stomping his feet for attention.

After a while someone notices and hands him another, the horse stares- remembers. Elephants have better memories, but this horse-god recalls well enough. A sugar lump this time, he licks greedily at the palm. At this rate, Sleipnir is going to get chunky.]

[There are eight instead of four.

He doesn't like this new place- wherever this new place is, it seems dark and smells of too many things that Sleipnir does not recognize. The time is now spent kicking at the sides of this new prison, but it does not budge (even if it bends).

Over water, through the air- to the land of the dead and back. Those are the places Sleipnir treads in his mind, with the knowledge that he will never fail in getting to his destination. It is foreign and alien to have such notions- too complex for a simple horse (Sleipnir is not a simple horse).

When they finally let him out to an open-air pen, he stretches all eight legs, kicking and rearing- cavorting, then rolling on the grass trying to get out all the pent-up energy out. The landscape and weather are unfamiliar, but not unpleasant. Once he has managed to tire himself out, Sleipnir lays down on the grass to enjoy the sun.

Hopefully someone will bring him something good to eat soon. Green apples preferably. Sugar lumps were not bad though, if Sleipnir was in a good mood he might even accept oats, maybe. Eating was the only thing to do for now, time was of no consequence to this horse. Ragnarok would call one day.

The son of Loki does not wait for the man who gave birth to him, but for his master.]

[Sleipnir doesn't dream much, but that night he dreams of Bifröst and how it fades beneath his hooves as if he were running too fast (flying?)

There are no colours, and this makes this dream (memory) incomplete. At the end of the bridge waits a White God. And Sleipnir remembers no more of that dream as he wakes in the darkness of a trailer.

This road is not smooth like the rainbow bridge, there are bumps that cause the horse to jolt and hit his head on the side. 'Ow.' This was not an enjoyable trip.]

[When they come in flying machines there is only chaos- trampled, broken - families are split down the middle, they put this stallion apart because he trampled on a handler, leaving nothing but a bloody mess. He is a beast. And should be put down. Sleipnir never falters, his hooves rarely miss their mark. No one dares come near. Cowards.

They'll kill some (report them as accidents), some will end up special preserves, and others will be auctioned off. He is already down for auctioning. Big, sleek coat, fiery temper, and when he runs (oh
boy, can he run) he surpasses all the herd. No one can ride him. It is a mockery, they are trying to break him, but Sleipnir will not yield.

The buyer will have to a very special man. (Perhaps suicidal or with a taste for the peculiar.)]

[There is no clear road ahead, but Sleipnir leads the herd- along the rocky edges, down to the grassy plains. It is still early morning, but he senses a disturbance in the air. The scent has changed, people have been here. Are here.

With a soft neigh, they retreat, away- Sleipnir feels cornered and chased- but he is still running freely. He won't be tamed.]
