Zodiac walked in his movement was with grace but showed his strength for his muscles rippled under his dark ebony coat. He was proud of his first mare and knew it would present a challenge in the rank, but he was starting his own herd and the old ranks were out. He looked to Lace his gaze strong but deep down he cared for her he just wasn't completly open about it.
This is my terra and your new home.
The lands were beautiful but the thoughts would always be in Zodiac's mind for what if the past stallion returns. Death's Keeper was much larger and stronger then himself. To defend his home he would have to be quicker and then he might have a chance of winning. |

Lace walked beside Zodiac, and observed much of her surroundings. Finally Zodiac spoke. When he did she pricked her ears as to not miss a word.
So This was her new home? It certianly was beautiful, and it was lush and flourishing. She turned her silvery orbs to Zodiac and said strongly, It is A Wonderful Terra, and most certianly a place to prize. She did not say it as some mares would. "Enchanting" and such fluff. Even though she thought it. She was not a softie like some, and her comments were to-the-point even though to Zodiac they held a bit more. Though that was for now unseen. She would stay loyal to Zodiac, and would show no disrespect to him, As long as his personality, towards her didn't suddenly drop. As long as Zodiac keeps respect in me I will keep respect in him. But If he gives me reason to lose faith in him, then I will let go of my loyalty. She thought strongly. But even though she was a hard mare to please, Zodiac's personality certianly met the conditions, and as long as he continued to have the same sort of personality, she would be loyal to the end...
Her muscles rippled underneath her silver spotted coat. And her tiara was held high and proud. She was ready for anything life threw at her...

Lady walked quietly around the tree. She stopped and turned her ghostly eyes to the new mare. Her near dead body slowly walked closer, and stopped, just at the edge of the forest. She waited, before coming out.
She was a walking ghost. Her dead eyes turned to the new mare. She shook her head, for she had lost words a while ago. She was saying hi, but it wasn't smart to come here. With that, she turned tail, and walked back, blending into the trees, like what she was. |

Lace had a keen eye and instantly noticed the other mare. She saw the ghosted look in her orbs and decided that the fae had been through something and ovbiously lost her heart. Only a slight wave of symapthy fell over her, for mares had to be strong enough to never let themselves go, and so this one must've not have had enough heart in the beginning. Still to be polite Lace nodded her graceful head in a reply to the mare's shaking hello. Then turned back to Zodiac as the fae walked away....

Ladyshook her head. She didn't even speak to her own mind anymore. But there still was a little flame that kept her insides, and herself, going.
Hope, she was burning on that last thing, hope. Hope that Keeper would come back, hope that Zodiac would be kind. But more hope, for Keeper to return.
Lady noticed the mare did not rely on her message, she shook her head and continued to walk. She suddenly thought back, still not thinking to herself, of when she was a foal.
This echoed in her mind, and her whole, empty body, and heart. "Only one horse in the world at a time, can have the Sight. No one every really knows who at the time. And soon, when the one who carries the Sight, is slowly dieing, he/she will mate/give birth to a foal, who will carry the same burden the one before them did.
"It was said, beyond the god of Zuaranos, a young colt roamed the lands, free and happy. He was the only horse on the land. But so he thought, yet really, a young filly roamed around too.
"Eventually, the two met, and there Zuaranos was born. And at that second, he flew into the sky with giant wings, and then became the god of all horses."
In a long time, Lady smiled. They were simple stories, but she had loved them. This was her mother, telling her of the legends and stories the parents always told the kids. Lady had passed on these stories to Zephyr, but she hardly remembered the colt anymore.
And so the voice continued again, well not the same voice. It still echoed around her ribs, and her whole of a heart.
"Your mother tells the legends well, Lady. Remember to pass them on to yours." And that was all her father really said. To him, passing on bloodlines and legends, were it, the life of a horse, a stallion.
Her mother had smiled, "Now, the legend of Zephyr." (Yes, that's how Lady got her colt's name.) "Zephyr was born a scraggly colt, weakling to the bone. No one expected him to be born of the Sight. For Zephyr was the first one to teach the horse world of the dangerous power of the Sight. He had spread it fast and quick, and soon everyone knew of it, and Zephyr had no idea, that people became afraid, and terrified of him.
"But Zephyr was a good horse, and never used the Sight as a harm. But one day, a horrible dreaded horse came in. His name as Hauntedwing."
Lady suddenly seemed to press stop on the stories in her mind. Wing. Wing. Wing. Wing. Wing. Wing. What? Why was did it sound, sound so familiar? Something seemed to answer back to Lady's silent questions, her devastated lost mind, listened and spoke for once. Darkwing, the one Silence talked about, and then Stormwing. Wing? Wing? Wing? Wing? Wing? Why was it always Wing?.
Then, Lady remembered yet another story her mother had told her. "The great lord of horses, Wing, ruled the lands happily. Everyone loved him, praised him, and offered him oats, and apples, and carrots. He loved his horses, his town, his community. It was all happy then, when the world was known as flat.
"But the happiness turned dark. And the clouds turned dark, like dark wings. And it all started with Wing.
"I bet you wouldn't have thought, that Wing, all great and kind, would be the cause to the world's evil? Huh, well yes, that's how it always is.
"And so Wing, had seen a young colt being rashed by his mother for dropping the water bucket. Poor colt, had hardly any teeth. Wing was horrified and immediately banned the mare from the kingdom. The mare was a hag. An evil one, she swore on what was left on her life, to kill Wing.
"Now, such a little thing hurt Wing's heart terribly. He was furious with everything. And soon, furious with kindness. He threw the gifts on the ground. He kicked at some horses. Soon, Wing was known as Hauntedwing. He killed all his horses, and soon the land was bloody and dead. It is said, any horse with the ending of the name Wing, is from his line, or has his evilness stabbed into their hearts."
Lady nodded, she got it now. Darkwing was from the family, and line of Hauntedwing. And Stormwing wasn't, Stormwing was stabbed by the terrible evil Hauntedwing had. Lady was THINKING!!! She was thinking again. Bars clanked in her mind, one door open.
But it didn't stay that way for long. The cell door closed once again, and Lady was impromised, with ghostly eyes, and a locked up soul. |

Zodiac watched the painted mare walk towards them and then turn back. She hadn't spoken to him and he was not against her for she was pretty much lost at heart. He felt sorry for she had loved Death's Keeper very much and to see one taken by humans had to be hard. But she would have to move on in time and he turned to Lace.
Follow me.
He moved at a walk, picking his feet up high enough not to trip and his head kept high. He still hadn't gotten the names of those that stayed but that would come later. He moved upon the large waterfall that laid in the center of the terra and then stopped at the waters edge. |

((okay )
Lace pricked her refined ears, to catch the words Zodiac spoke. Then she nodded and Followed after him. She held her tiara high, and her elegant neck level, As she walked along. When He stopped at the waters edge she halted as well, and stared into the water. Zodiac would speak when he was ready. She looked at her reflection. She was most certianly a beautiful mare. Most expected the beautiful to be weak. And even though Lace hated this, she also loved seeing the shock on their faces when they saw that she was not weak at all. Her muscles rippled under her spotted pelt. And she pricked her ears waiting for his words..... |

Zodiac took a small drink from the water and then stepped in and then moved towards the waterfall. The water got deeper and came up to his neck and he closed his eyes and layed his ears back as he went under the water and then kept moving to the cave. He looked back to see if Lace fallowed and when she came through he spoke.
If ever there is danger, you should come here. Once everyone is together, if more join, then I will decide if we should go elsewhere.
He wanted her to know about the spot just in case she needed to. It was a good hiding place and also a nice place to think if you just want to be alone. |

Lace nodded. Her orbs shone as she looked around. It certianly was a unique terra, and Zodiac seemed to know it all by heart. Heart the though whisped through her but she shook it off. She didn't even know what it meant. All she knew was that it was not something she had thought before, and she liked to know what she was thinking before getting carried away, as she never got carried away. Her silvery tresses fluttered slightly as she turned back to Zodiac, looking at his as if expecting him to speak. But really she was simply watching him, trying to figure out why she felt so...different around him... |

Zodiac looked into Lace's gentle pools he seemed to calm him a little though her pools were calm now a fire seemed to be held back, perhaps her spirit. He had seen that she had a fiery spirit and thats what made him like her even more. His dark orbs sparkled, he was happy here with Lace and decided to take her around a little more. For there was dangers in this terra as well.
There is something else I wish for you to see and get to well.
He then walked out of the cave and back under the waterfall. He got out of the water and shook of the dripping water from his sleek black coat and walked through the snow into the trees. He walked to where the trees seemed to get thicker and it got darker, harder to see anything on the ground but he knew his way well around here. Finding a funny shaped stump he looked ahead and spoke.
Be very cautious if you go any further forward. If you really consentrate you will see a large round black spot, it is a hole and if you were to fall in it you wouldn't be able to get out and would probably break a leg from the fall.
He wished she show it to her a little closer but with the snow drifting you didn't know where the edge was and could easily fall through the snow and into the hole to your death most likely. |

Lace nodded once again but no words left her. She had broken a leg once, when almost drowned in a river, and was thrown over the water fall connected. The broken leg part wasn't something she wanted to repeat. But no fear washed through her, for that was in the past, and all she had to do was avoid the dumb hole, and she would be fine. Her orbs softly shone as she looked again at Zodiac. Honestly he thoroughly confused her at soul, why was it she felt so different around him? Interlaced Soul entered a whisping wave of her thoughts,and she again shook it off. It meant nothing she could identify. All she knew was that Zodiac was different from others... |

Zodiac could see something seemed to be troubling Lace but he put it aside, if she wanted to talk about it then she would speak up. He wasn't got to ask for perhaps she didn't want to talk about it or maybe it was nothing. He looked at her once again and said.
Thats about everything that you should know about. The rest will just be you moving around and getting to know the land with time. |

Thank You Zodiac Lace said. The words were softer then usual which was strange, but all the same they were her words and she would not take them back. She made eye contact with him and watched him. Her green orbs sparkled and somehow when she stared into his optics she all of a sudden seemed to get lost in them and felt a quick rising feel in her stomache, which caught her unnoticed so she quickly lowered her gaze. Her breath was warm and showed in the brisk morn as she breathed, and her silvery tresses fluttered as the light wind came through... |

Zodiac looked back at Lace, he felt strange for he had never felt this way around a mare. He picked up his feet once again walking back towards the falls. Soon he would have another mare for Lace to be around but he was unsure on how well she would get along with them. |
