As I stand, anchored in the earth below my hooves, I feel the weight of the bridle resting gently upon my neck. I am not just an ordinary horse, but a loyal companion to my rider, a proud American Indian. The salty scent of the Atlantic Ocean fills the air as I watch from a distance, my heart pounding with a mix of loyalty and uncertainty. The European ships approach, their massive sails billowing like foreign clouds on an uncharted sky. I feel the bridle tighten as my rider grips it, his fingers trembling ever so slightly. It is in this moment that I sense the dire reality of what is unfolding before us.

Physically, I am strong and agile, yet there’s an unsettling weight in my chest, an instinctual awareness that something is profoundly changing. I can feel my rider's pulse quickening beneath me, echoing my own unease. He turns to his friend and whispers about the elite strangers approaching, their intentions cloaked in mystery. I can sense his apprehension, a deep-rooted intuition that these newcomers might disrupt the world we’ve known. As I shift my weight, the stirrups clink against my sides, a soft reminder that I am here to serve and protect. Yet, as I watch the ships draw closer and hear the excited chatter of my rider, I cannot shake the feeling of being a mute witness to history—an observer of a great shift that will ripple through time, threatening everything we’ve cherished. How I wish to speak! To voice the caution etched deep within my instincts, to warn of the storms gathering on the horizon.
