They were Mauricio’s pride, feeling a close connection to them as both of their roots were bound to Spain.

August's POV This feels so awesome. How come I just rode a big dolphin? Yes, you read it correctly. A freaking huge bottle-nose dolphin. Oh, haven't I identified yet? It's like a horse when it's under the sea and a water horse when it's on the surface. Why do they still call it water horse, when they can call it sea horse? The sea horse is more suitable there than the water horse. But I didn't think too much about it because it was just stressful.

What? A knife sunk into my thigh and I let out a scream. He came out of nowhere and caught me before I fell to the ground. Excitement was burning in his eyes and his lips were pulled into a grin. "You ran quite fast, but not fast enough Trisha. You see, I didn't expect you to get far." his words were smooth and cold. Cold like the blood running out of my thigh. My vision blackened. I wondered how death was. Would it be painful or peaceful like my mother had described?

Relief washed over me when Darius flew away quickly causing the beast to get back on the water. The beast has three heads of a killer shark and a tail of an octopus which consists of eight huge tentacle arms or legs. And boy, it could jump higher! The beast was moving towards our direction again. I quickly maneuvered the wheels faster like we were flying. I saw the beast following us in a swift move too. "Hold on!" I yelled and they also yelled as a response. Using Willow and I's power, the ship ran faster like a flash. I saw the waves get higher and higher and another beast showed up while blocking us. It was a huge water horse. I notice that my eyes glow brightly causing the water horse to

He places his fingers behind the horse's ears and enters his consciousness. The mind of the Brook Horse is dark, quiet and still. Laurin suddenly finds himself among rubbery seaweed on a dehydrated seabed. Scattered around are large stones bearing engraved symbols, words and pictures of creatures and people. Laurin understands that it is the horse's way of categorizing memories and thoughts, although it is not the most effective way to store memories. The disorder in stallions brain means that it will take a long time for Laurin to find what he is looking for – the Brook Horse name.

“Sorry about that, we didn’t see you there.” My heart raced as I felt the ground shake beneath me, the giant animal standing mere inches away. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that close, but it sure felt like it too me. “No, that’s okay. That was my fault, really. I was lost in thought and… the corner… I…,” I said backing up quickly, hoping I wouldn’t spook Horsezilla into a killing frenzy. “Her name’s Tasha. She’s super friendly. Would you like to pet her?” the rider asked, unaware that I’d rather wrestle a rattlesnake away from a rabid pitbull than come near her (or any other) horse for that matter.

This was their land form. "You mean seahorses?" I asked her. "That would be the equivalent in your language, so yes," she answered. The rest of the mounts were a combination of pegasoi, khimaira, and stoikheṓdes alogo, which Avril translated as pegasi, chimaera and elemental horses. It was immensely cool to see mythic horses.

"Can I come with you? I'll ride Shrek." Shrek was the horse he used to ride when they tour him and Cristel around the hacienda. The horse was tame and easy to maneuver unlike Thunder Storm and Cyclone who only follows their master- Alec. Funny because the horse seems to like Joachin too because they never experienced such behavioural problems of the stallion when he being ridden by Joachin. "So what now? Can I come with you?" Joachin insisted.

We took pictures and had these cute mermaid-themed cupcakes while at it. "If you were to be a fish, what kind would you be?" I asked the twins as we walked through a display of Remora fish. "I'd be a shark, naturally," Tristan said. He sneered at the carvings of Remora. "Sperm whale," Nathan said. "Why?" "Sharks are cute. Sharp teeth and all." "Cute?" I laughed. "How are they cute?
