My book preview.

Spare my grammar as am not editing till end.

The light crept in... Neh tooo common. Yeah the curls of cloud let the light peek in as dusk arose. The sky was purple from the cyclonic storm last night and there were no birds chirping in the morning. I caught a glimpse of the fallen trees beyond our field and stood up slowly.  I could here the quiet snoring of my younger brother.  I walked off the laziness. It had to be an energy consuming day of cleaning the barn and calming the animals. I quickly opened the closet to grab a loosely hanging shirt and my red rubber boots. I walked upto the door after setting a kettle of hot water and preparing some eggs for a nice breakfast. I took a deep breath in as the petrichore intrigued every one of my senses. I walk quickly towards the once red barn. The barn had survived the winds and was not requiring any heavy measure fixing. I walked up to Barney, a black stallion who had never been broken. He was the calmest wild stallion anyone would have seen.
The sun was now high in the sky a the heat increased. And I calmed Barney's aroused spirits a let him out for a short walk. Whilst he walked to the nearby feeding pen I grabbed a barrow and started filling it with the damaged fences and hay and weeds. Luckily it was weeding day so it was win-win. But the silence of the quite field was broken by Barney's neigh. That hadn't happened since we found him on a beach near Mauritius. I ran to him in the fear of him having gotten hurt but it wasn't any simple wound. This wound was deep and it didn't bleed. I knew that horses were capable of creating anti venom so I didn't quite worry about it.
I went back in and saw that little brother, Ron had completed his food. I grabbed out a chair and sat down next to him. I believed it was needed to tell him about what had happened earlier today. But before I could start, super active Ron took over the conversation. He started talking about what was happening in college  and how he was studying well and all lots of uncomfortable college stuff. For a person who gives up schooling for his younger brother would deffinately think that the talk is uncomfortable. He went on chatting with me till I had to stop him. I started"Ronny, last night during the storm there was a lot of broken things lying on the field and I guess it attracted snakes. Unfortunately one of the snakes, presumabely bit Barney. I am not sure if he will survive. But you should pray for him".
As Ronny departed to the other room I went to check on Barney and the most unexpected thing had happened. At first it seemed like magic but it was a mere evolution. Barney had grown strong muscles and his hooves were like coal. Black a cracked.  I approached to take a closer look but I instantly recieved a snarl from the horse. He turned his eyes and instantly a his sight shot a shard of fear into me. His eyes were black with light shone through the cracks. Smoke arose from his nose as he exhaled. Surpisingly his saddle wasn't visible. A feathery coating covered a brown leather seat. He walked towards me and looked straight into my soul. And then majestically but also cutely put his head under my hand. He was still my Barney but waaaayyyy more awesome.
Taking the opportunity I took a look around him. He hadn't grown a coat, he hadn't grown hair, he had grown wings!!!!
I took a quick jump on to the saddle and got Barney out of the barn. A blow of wind hit my face and I realized that Barney had just opened his wings. This was like seeing the baby take new steps as he could barely stretch those bones but few moments later he had an expanded wing size upto the size of a car.  It was time for a test but not without Ronny being there to see it.  I ran to the house and I heard a voice. Not any of Ronny or my voice though. It sounded more manly. I ignored it and called Ronny who didn't believe me and frankly no one would.  The sound came in again and this time I payed attention to the words. It said "hurry up, unlike you I have wings to try out, ". It was Barney. Wings and telepathic connection. Wow. I got onto the saddle and as his wings came out Ronny's mouth dropped to the floor. He had just experienced 2 things a sound on his head and a sight of wings coming out of a horse. And well that reaction was deserving a definitely hereditary.
Barney took a leap forward and he was in the air. He made quick flaps increasing our speeds. But all of a sudden I started seeing all things red. Barney then said " this is how I see life you too should get to see this," . I felt as though I had turned into a 5 year old who was given a lollipop. Overjoyed.  We circled Ronny and slowly landed. First try with perfect take off and landing.
I got of 3 feet up in the air and came down with a thump. Barney landed and Ronny ran upto him. He shouted a name, it sounded a bit like firestar well it was fire storm. The kid had been watching too much T. V . But it sounded awesome so I went with it. Firestorm.  Barney was no more just Barney he was half myth half horse.  All of a sudden a flame was created in his eye it looked like a bird. Some thing more like a phoenix.
