Spirit and Pantha Find Wounded Mikasi
This scene shows Spirit and Pantha finding on their territory the wounded Mikasi, who had been seriously beaten-up in a fight with another stallion and chased away from the Lakota village only the day before . . .
Here's the scene story...
***
When the next morning came, Mikasi woke up, feeling still painful all over, but nonetheless a little stronger. He lay unmoving, listening to the sound of his own, rather shaky breathing.
Then all at once, he sensed the presence of another horse. Suddenly Mikasi was anxious; he lifted his head sharply - causing his neck to twinge. Oh, the pain! Mikasi almost dropped his head to the ground again, the ache was so great.
With much effort, Mikasi turned his sight in all directions - and looking over to his right last of all, he spotted company. There was not a horse . . . there were TWO. And both were stallions, strong- and fit-looking.
Worst luck, groaned Mikasi inwardly, as he blew through his flaring nostrils. He was sure the stallions would give him trouble. But he was too tired to get up, let alone flee or fight.
The two stallions were standing not more than a few score feet away. One of them was a buckskin, and seemed to be the dominant of the pair. The other was a stocky pinto. They stood unmoving. Mikasi felt their stares acknowledging him, until at length the buckskin came forward at an unhurried pace.
Mikasi snorted feebly, flattened his ears and bared his teeth to show his displeasure towards the buckskin's advancement - but his hostile body-language was ignored . . .
