Death's Keeper trotted back into his terra happily. He found another mare home with him and hoped that she would like the other mares aleady inhabiting the terra. He looked behind him and looked towards Lady and nickered, We are here. His orbs sparkled. Once again he had no lead mare and the position was waiting to be filled. There was now three mares that he could choose frome but he wanted to find one that wanted the responsibility and would stick around to fill her position.

Lady smiled as she gazed around his territory. She listened to the water fall and longed to go in, but it was too cold to. She lowered her muzzle to the ground and blew out of her nose. The snow flew up and she yanked her head back up, still smiling. "It's beautiful."

He smiled glad that she was happy with it as well. The winter had frozen up all but the main waterfall within the terra which gave water to its inhabitants. He would be glad when summer came again but for now the soft white snow looked pretty and with the trees and hills within the terra it never got to cold if you knew where to go. He looked to Lady again and said, Would you like to explore your new home a bit?

Lady nodded, "Sure," she said. She began to walk around the terra and sniff the area. She noted there was defiantly other mares here, and it threw her off a little. She shrugged it off and continued to sniff around and looks at the views.

Keeper stopped on a hill and let out a whinney calling for his other mares. He knew eventually they would all have to meet Lady and sooner was always better then later. Right now though he wasn't sure if it was a good idea for there was no lead to keep order within the herd. Keeper looked at Lady with a smirk, he was happy that she had joined him and said, I want you to meet my other mares. He saw Silence recently and knew Satan was around somewhere but SkyDancer had disappeared and he only hoped that she was alright.

Lady nodded. She raised her head, and hoped that she could show her dominance to the other mares and maybe even become lead mare. ((Sorry no muse))
Silence trotted in slowly. She noticed the new mare. She wasn't to good with mares, and hadn't met any other mares, and she wasn't very good with them. She walked up not to far from Keeper and looked down at the new mare.
Lady wasn't too happy with the other mare, and she seemed to be to full of herself. Lady shrugged it off again and looked at Keeper in a 'whose this?' manner.

Keeper watched as Silence walked up to them. So far she has been the only one that really sticks around and he knows that she is here for the most part. He nickered happy to see her and noticed the ways the mares watched each other. He knew this was going to happen for the position wasn't filled and there was going to be a dominance issue in the herd right now until they choose or he does.
He then decided to break the silence and said, Silence this is Painted Lady, Lady this is Silence. He hope that after the dominance issue was over that the mares could become friends.

Lady nodded. She wanted to become friends, but the dominance issue was definatly going to keep the two apart until it was done. She turned away quickly to grab a sip of water.
Silence nodded too. She looked at Keeper, and turned away too. She walked to opposite direction.

Keeper looked at his mares he was going to have to settle the issue before his mares settled it first. He didn't want them fighting but sometimes that chooses the best lead for the herd.

Lady really wanted this to end. She hoped that the two mares could become friends, and that Keeper would just choose. Yet, what Lady really wanted, was a foal. She really wanted to ask Keeper. Every single time, she'd walk up to him, then turn away like she saw something interesting. She hoped one day he would ask her.
Silence snorted and began to dig for grass under snow. She also hoped for the lead mare thingy to end, so the two mares could be friends.

Keeper could see this wasn't going to end without his doing. They both wanted the position but they both couldn't be lead. Silence though has been her longer and there fore in Keepers eyes had seniority over his decision. He could also tell something else was on Lady's mind, could he possibly make both mares happy. He turned his head to Silence and asked, Would you like to be my new lead? He loved both of the mares but so far Silence had been the one to stick around the longest and Lady was the newest and if they wanted it to change Lady could always challenge Silence.
He waited for an answer with his ears pricked towards Silence. He knew that Lady wouldn't be too happy with him but he had an idea. She acted like she wanted to ask something but seemed to just not know how to ask. She could be just trying to ask for the position and if that was it then she wouldn't do it anymore but if that wasn't the case then most mares really want foals and he really didn't know how to ask her if that was on her mind.

Silence nodded. She was actually really surprised. She was defiantly not a pretty mare, but strong. She looked over at Lady, who seemed none surprised, and really did have something on her mind. Silence turned back to Keeper, "I would be glad to," she answered. Lady nodded from at the bottom of the hill. All she really wanted, was a foal. She decided that she would ask Keeper, besides, she was in heat.

Keeper almost let out a sigh as his body seemed to be in relief now that he settled what could cause a herd to fall apart. Silence would be his new lead and if it got too overwhelming for her she could always allow someone else in the position. He gave a nod to Silence happy with her reply and could see she was a bit shocked from his decision. He then looked back at Lady, still something was running through her mind and so he made his way down the hill. He walked up from behind her and got a drink from the running water. He then lifted his dial and touched her neck with his muzzle. He had noticed that she was in heat and perhaps that was what was running through her head, he couldn't think of anything else. He decided he would ask and not make her, Would you like a foal Lady? His words were soft and his orbs watched her as his ears pricked towards her to hear her reply.

Silence nodded again. She trotted down the hill to Lady and stopped at the pond and drank the water happily.
Lady nodded quickly,"Yes," she said quickly.
((Sorry no muse))

Keeper watched Silence and then looked back at Lady, his ears pricked as he took in her reply. He had guessed correctly and he would happily give her what she wanted for all he knew he didn't have any foals yet. He nudged her flank wondering if she would move to go else where or if here was fine.

Lady nodded and trotted away from Silence. She stopped in a small area that was surrounded by thick bushes. She turned to Keeper and said, "This good?" she asked. She was incredibly excited for the foal. It had to be a black and white pinto.

Keeper followed Lady into the bushes and nodded, This will do. He then nuzzled her neck and then nudged her flank asking for her permission to mount.

Lady was nervous, but she raised her dial and turned her flank and rear end to Keeper. She laid her ears back a little, and held her breath . . .
. . . Lady opened her eyes and turned her painted neck and smiled at Keeper. She hoped a foal would come.

Keeper took her inventatioin and raised up on to his hind legs keeping most of the weight off the mare...
...After a few moments Keeper landed back on the ground with all four feet and walked up to Lady's side. He nuzzled her neck and asked, Are you alright? He could see that she was nervous in the beginning and hoped she had calmed down now.

Lady nodded and said softly, "Yes, fine," she sighed. She felt better now, but she knew that the farther she got into in foal, she may not feel as swell. She nuzzled Keeper happily, finally, a foal of her own, she smiled.
