Captured like a Stallion

Prologue

Basir looked around the long table at his comrades. Two on the left of him, two on the right. He had them. He knew he did. He had never seen anything like it. And before tonight, neither had they. He could see the desire in their eyes, the greed. But the creature would be his and his alone to do with as he saw fit. The creature would do well in the fights. Who needed the festival races? This would be even better. The prizes alone would out weight that of the races. Yes, he needed this creature, this shell back.

He had taken his four comrades up to the roof of the hotel to show them what they did not believe in. True to what he had seen every night the past week in this American city, they saw the creature. The strength within the creature's muscles was unfathomable. The way it could jump from building to building as if it had lived all its life on the roofs of this large city. He was even more intrigued by the humans dressed in black trying to catch the creature, each time failing to do so, but oh so close. He had only saw this two of the nights he had come up here to gaze at the stars, but he had seen it nonetheless. It carried swords on its back. Where the creature had managed to get a hold of something like that, Basir didn't know. He marveled at the way it used the blades, as if it knew what they were and what they were for. It was brilliance. Sheer brilliance. And he needed this creature. With him, he would gain control of the land of his home. He would push out the other raiders and warriors that should not be in his homeland. He nodded to himself. It would work. If his comrades agreed.

"Well?" Basir asked the group of four sitting around the long table of the hotel's so called conference room.

"He is magnificent," one on the right side of the table spoke up.

"With such strength, one could do anything with him," the second man on the right continued.

"He'd do well in the fights," one from the left side of the table added.

"We could breed him if there were more. Or find something else to breed him with," the fourth man spoke up from the left.

At the head of the table, Basir was pleased. Each one looked to be in favor of catching this creature. But to breed him? There was a possibility he hadn't thought about. "Would that be possible Kadir?"

The man who suggested the breeding rubbed his chin and nodded. "Yes, we could find a way. With such a powerful creature, it would be invaluable."

Basir nodded, a pleased smirk sliding across his face. "Find a way to do so."

"But how will we catch this creature? Surely it won't be like capturing the wild horses in the desert at home," one on the right asked.

"No Jinan, it wouldn't be quite like that, but I can assure you. I have something in mind in capturing this beast," Basir answered. Yes, he would be sure to get this taken care of. He would've gone through with it with or without their support, but things were always easier with it.

"See that you do. This would be extraordinary."

"We leave at the end of the week. Will that be enough time?"

Basir smirked to Nasim, his optimism brimming, and turned this gaze to Omar and his warning. He was right. Their time of departure was drawing near and their original business was almost done. "I'll set it in motion within the night. Finish business matters, I will take care of this."

The four men around the table agreed, bowing their head and shaking Basir's hand, congratulating him on the find. He watched them go and turned back to look out the room's window at the night's sky.

"I'm coming creature. And you will do more for me than you can imagine."
