Kolton felt awful, his head ached, and his eyes weren't working well at all. There was a wide blank in front of him. Darkness and that wasn't right. Had the idiots messed up his vision now? They would be blinded themselves! He struggled to find his feet, his ears twitching like crazy as he, stumbled. He couldn't seem to get off his hands and kn--He cried out, a horse's shriek sounding in his twitching ears, as hooves flashed where his hands should have been. What was this! No, it couldn't be...he was dreaming he was dreaming.
A firm hand grabbed onto his face. On a long elongated snout.
"A colt in truth are you not Young Kolton?" Yorvet laughed fixing a rope around his face. "No one can doubt now that you're engaged' to our cause. You'll make a fine addition to our herds.
The men around him laughed as Kolton fought against the rope, his legs trembling. He wasn't a horse. He wasn't horse!
Engage' - committed to or supportive of a cause.
Added Info - Engage' is the past participle of the French verb engager; meaning "to engage." The French have used engage' since the 19th century to describe socially or politically active people. The term became particularly fashionable in the wake of World War II, when French writers, artists, and intellectuals felt it was increasingly important for them to take a stand on political or social issues and represent their attitudes in their art. By 1946, English speakers had adopted the word for their own politically relevant writing or art, and within a short time. "engage'" was being used generally for nay passionate commitment to a cause.
