I woke up again to find myself locked up in a cage like an animal. That is where I always find myself after winning an almost losing battle which involves me having possession of some powers I have no knowledge of. I would remain in that cage with no food nor water but I survived anyways. Who was I? I was neither human nor animal,I was both.i gat elf's ears, carrot nose ,legs like that of a horse,got human breast though hairy and I got a hole. Wondering what I am? well I know not either ,guess I just have to keep breathing until the day I meet the wizard again. My name is Special and this is my story....
I woke up with a heavy grunt,wondering what was happening to me. I did a quick check up on myself and heaved.
Finally that beautiful lady, with no horse legs or carrot nose,though I still had elf ears. I strode along the decanted area hoping to catch a glimpse of the wizard instead I saw a horse.
yeah, a black horse which stood wagging its tail staring at me. I looked around to be sure no one had kept it there but saw nothing.
Was it lost in the woods or was it for me?
I stood there watching its glowing furs,how I wish mine was that soft and glowing, but I didn't admire it for long as I found myself touching every part of its body.
Was it a male or...
God of medusa!!
"Jeiel!!"
A lady snorted and I quickly took cover from the bush.
"Jeiel , have been searching for you and here you are," she ran to him happily.
"Just where you got missing,you won't stop to amaze me," she rubbed it's fur and smiled and the horse grunted in pleasure.
I stared at her in disbelief. Do such humans exist,like talking and making friends with animals?
Wow! I stared mouth agape.
I watched as she played with it and finally they rode away and I traced after them.

I followed them to a beautiful palace and I had to stay hidden because there were a lot of armed men at the entrance. They searched their bodies to be sure they weren't armed,they bowed afterwards and opened the gates for them. I came out of hiding to see how the palace was ,then Jeiel wagged its tail and turned back staring at me.
I stared back and wondered if it was some creature like me and then the lady rubbed his head and walked away with it.
I was about to go when I heard my name.
"Special.... oh you're here already..."
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" I asked moving a little backward.
"I am Damina,'' he grinned and stared at me.
"Why are you staring? I creased my brows at him.
"Just want to be sure they're elf's ears,'' he replied huskily and I stared at him confused.
He scoffed and said "come with me,I have something to show you" I had to run after him as he had left even before finishing the sentence.
"So.." I started, hoping he would tell me something.
"Yeah,we will be there soon
" he said without even sparing me a glance and I trailed after him.
"So, where are you taking me," I asked frustrated.
"Ain't you sure of your powers?" he huffed and brushed past me.
"Hey! I was just asking okay," I said abashed.
"Well here we are." he spread his hands apart smiling.
I had thought we will never gets here, I heaved as I stared awkwardly at a strange large, round stone
"Here's a horse I would like you to meet, his name is Jeiel." I stood frozen at the mention of its name and watched it displayed on the big tombstone at the center of the large stone.
"He is the crown prince of Medusa,he got transformed into a horse at a war front by the wizards kingdom and his kindred had searched for his body right after the war but couldn't find him."
"So what you're saying is, the crown prince which has now turned into a horse is believed to be dead by his people. But there was a lady who was extremely nice to it, or so it seemed." I asked.
"Abel. Only she knows that he is human because he speaks,but she doesn't know it as her prince."
"What do you have for me?'' I asked, already prepared for the task.
He stared at me perfunctorily and grinned.
"Now that's what I want to hear, '' he claps his hand and stands firmly.
"We will hit by evening. That's when Abel will take him out for second grazing,'' he said and cleared out a table strategizing his plans on it.
Special watched his every move and nodded at intervals.
"Then we are good to go,'' Damina said, satisfied by his plans.
"Alright. let's set to work, she said, making to go but he held her back.
"One more thing special," he took some clothes and gave them to her.
"What are these?" she asked and he didn't look surprised.
"They are clothes and you have to put them on and get rid of that loin you're putting on,'' he said and parted her back.
"Oh!" she gasped
"I've seen them.. but they look perfect." She took off her clothes and Damina gasped and looked away. She huffed and continued with her thing.
"Am set." she said and he proffered her to the stone,spoke some incantations and the image of Abel and the horse popped out.
She was talking to the prince and kept calling his name.

"Jeiel you're so funny, how old are you anyways, '' Abel asked, staring at the horse sitting close to her.
"I don't know,'' he replied and she furrowed her brow at him.
"But I know I am older and you could be more like a younger sister to me,'' he said and she cracked.
"Really Jeiel,that's not funny at all, I have a kid of about 15 years,so you see there's no way we are mates, '' she joked and Jeiel fell down laughing heavily.
"I really enjoy your company Jeiel, how I wish you could transform back to human and maybe we could be more than friends,'' she said, staring dreamily at him.
With her staring at him and him doing the same , she couldn't wish for more than a kiss.
Oh! She so wished the forces that turned him to a horse should turn him back to human,she shrugged off her thoughts and noticed Jeiel had a quiet mood.
Was he thinking about his family?
No, his family was wiped out right?
Jeiel on the other hand was thinking about the lady he saw. He has never seen anyone so beautiful like her and her ears were not like theirs.
Was she human?
She looked so unusual like some alien. All he could think of was seeing her again, maybe he could ask her why she's putting on a loincloth.
"Jeiel..Abel called, tapping him softly and he broke out of his thoughts.
"Jeiel it's time for your grazing, immediately she said that he gave out a warming smile and stood.
"Let's go princess,'' he said and Abel blushed.
She really didn't want to believe she was falling for a horse.

"They're on the move , transport me there,'' Special said rather impatient. She couldn't wait to transform it back.
"I don't transport , I will only open the portal for you and you set your mind on where you want to go,'' Damina explained.
"But I've never transported." She said, confused.
"Your powers are more than that and I shouldn't be listing out every single thing to you spec_"
"I get it." She cut him off.
"Can you atleast open the portal now,'' she said bleary and he nodded.
He stood at the front of the large,round stone. With his hands stretched forward he said some magic words and the stone opened. He nudged her to go inside and she did, slowly the stone closed up and she was in total darkness.
What was she supposed to do now?
Oh, she was to set her mind on where she wanted to go.
Yeah, perfect
She stood and released the air she had been holding and set her mind towards where she wanted to go but a distraction came and with a loud thud she was swept off her feets.
