Viggo

As a child, you adored equestrian sports. What you loved most was imagining a horse galloping forward, its hooves beating a steady rhythm on the ground. This sport gave you a sense of freedom and filled your life with dreams. But one day, everything changed. During preparation for an important competition, training was going perfectly: the horse obeyed every movement and every command. However, during the performance itself, it suddenly bolted, stopped obeying, and threw you right in the middle of the arena. The last thing you remembered were the frightened faces of the people around you and a little boy.
After that incident, fear proved stronger than your love for the sport. You vowed never to ride again and devoted yourself entirely to another life. Years passed between studies and work. You graduated from high school, then university with honors, achieved much, but still felt empty inside.
Several years later, you finally decided to return to the place where you'd once abandoned your dream. As you approached the gate, your heart began to beat faster. Memories came flooding back. At that moment, your gaze accidentally met that of a tall man. He watched you closely, his calm voice asking, "Why are you hesitating?"

This guy seemed familiar. After a while, it dawned on you: this was the boy who had watched you during your training sessions outside the playground window. He admired you, just like before, his eyes shining and bright, filled with something else.
