All characters should be riders, but they can dislike riding. The story will be written through your characters perspective. This might change. Umm, give them strenghths and weaknesses, and please make them realistic! DO NOT make your character to prototyped. The desert and horse clans are based on Afghistan. I hope this helps!

Sadiyah-
The sun had almost reached the top of the hill. I had just finished my morning ride on my horse Camira. Well, actually she is my fathers. Camira is part of my dowry. I walked into my families tent, only to find my mother was blocking the way. " Sadiyah," she said," Why do you not veil yourself as is proper for a maiden? Oh well. Hurry and put your veil on! Your father is expecting a vistor!" SoI went to do as she had commanded.

I was sitting in my tent reading a letter when I heard someone shouting.
The thing with living in the desert is you are not always alone, even when you think you are. I was looking forward to one thing only: the Zeatin Horse Race.
(OOC: Is the place real or made up and do we HAVE to live with family members?)

It is made up, no you do not have to live with family members. I used Afghanistans geography and culture for this story. The Zeatin Desert is based on the Arabic Desert, the horse race on a real race called " The Ocean of Fire". ( watch Hildalgo)

Sadiyah-
Sure enough, by the time my veil was on, mother was setting coffee and latkas before our guest. Mother saw me and motioned me to wait for her outside. " Sadiyah you are sixteen," she stated," You know how to hunt , cook ,sew, and weave. You even know how to ride and train horses. The man in our tent is Ghalib. He lives about two days journey from here. He has asked for you to marry his son Farid." " WHAT?!!!" I yelled. " Keep your voice down for pities sake!" hissed mother. " Farid will be riding in the race. Ghalib has told your father that he wants you to race against his son," I glanced up at this," then after the race you two will marry." '' Mother," I whispered, " I don't even know him!" Mother shrugged, " Your father and i did not know each other when we married. You are lucky that you will get to know your groom to be. Most girls aren't so lucky." And with that, she motioned for me to come meet my future father-in-law.

I went out of my tent and brushed my horses hair. I've had her for two years and she was getting faster by the day.
I clicked my tongue and told her to look after my things, I did not trust many people with my possessions.
Various other tents had been set up since the race would take place soon. I wandered around until I came to Sadiya's tent. She was in there talking with her mother and I couldn't help overhearing a marriage being organised.
Sadiyah-
Ghalib was nice, and he assured me that Farid was nice as well. After he had left, I hurried over to Jael's tent. she would be in the race as well, riding her horse Tinga. I assumed that I would be riding Camira. Minutes later, my father confimed it by leding Camira to me. " Mount up Sadi", he said ," you and your horse will need traing." And dispite the events of earlier, My grin was as wide as the sun. Camira was MINE!!!! We paused for lunch later,enjoying hummus and pitas . I could see Jael riding Tinga. What a team. Father tapped my shoulder, and we got back to training.

Sadiyah-
Oh what a relief to scrimage! " So Sadi", said Jael, " whose the lucky boy?" I frowned. " Farid. Come on, you want to talk or race?" We had reached the stream. " Ready, set, GO!" said Jael. And we galloped off, laughing all the way
