h e a v e n;; if you can teach my how to t r u s t, i can teach you how to f l y a w a y;;
The land was busy and bright. Rolling green plains were speckled with daisies and the occasional oak tree. Mares and stallions stood talking to each other, friendly, smiling... Friendly, smiling, she thought bitterly. Yes that was how they acted. Not how they truly were. Likely, they were going to take the poor innocent mares away and torture them to death. She wasn't sure if she was ready to trust... not yet.
Heaven pranced over to the oak tree, unaware of her beauty. Her snow white pelt gleamed in the sunlight and her silver tresses danced in the wind. Her beautiful, slender legs stepped high and elegantly into the air. Her eyes sparkled involuntarily. But she didn't want to look like this. She knew that looking like this would just attract more stags... and she didn't know if she could handle that. |

Daggers digging to the ground, tresses flying, and neck arched Illusion trotted into the clearing. He then halted and observed the mares around him. There were many beautiful mares but there was one of unique and exquisite features. But it was not her beauty that lured him towards her, It was how she strayed apart from the others, with a sort of wary eye... She had been through something that was right. As he walked towards her he saw the way she stood, in a quiet, ready to run, scared sort of way. He continued towards her his concern building up more with every step, As he continued concern washed away his powerful form and replaced it with what seemed but a plain coltish form, no threat to another stallion, venerable. But he was not aware of the change in state, he just kept walking, entranced, and worried.
When he finally approached her and he halted he suddenly didn't know what he was doing. He opened his maw to introduce himself, before he stopped. She looked so scared it was as if she'd flee once words left him... he just stood there... blue eyes full of concern.... until he finally spoke with a soft, tender, concerned voice M'lady, are you quite alright? his blue eyes never left her, he was hoping--praying that she would not run...he wanted to help...

Death's Keeper walked towards the claiming grounds, much had happened in his terra for there was now two foals living there. One was his own, a son and then an orphened filly that Silence has taken in as her own. He had been so worried about Painted Lady but now everything was quite alright and he as ready to see if perhaps he could find another mare that would join him at his home.
He stopped on the rise and looked down into he valley. His body seemed massive but his heart was gentle and kind unlike that of some of the other stallions that seemed to be lurking around. He gazed over the land seeing many mares but they all seemed to have their eyes on a stallion already and he would not try to push the mares to change their minds. But then his orbs laid upon a beautiful white mare as she made her way away from all the others. She stood alone, her body tense as if she really didn't want to be in these lands. Another stallion already approched the white fae but Keeper decided he would try as well.
The black and white painted stallion made his way down the hill, his hooves dug into the ground and though he was large he moved elegantly towards the mare with his head not to high for he didn't prance around like some of the other stallions as they all thought they were better. He picked his steps carefully not getting to close to the mare for if he tried to get to close she would most likely run. He opened his maw to speak and at first nothing came out for he felt bad because it was obvious that she had been treated bad in the past and he would leave if that was what she wished. He didn't want to push her to do anything and never would and so he spoke, Hello m'lady he spoke quietly and his voice carried concern for the mare, though some of the stallions were nice there was also aggressive horses that patroled the area and if they approched the mare would most likely run away.

Numaric Light pranced in as his daggers hit the dirt. His blue roan coat was rippling from the muscles underneath He saw the fae and asked How do you do, M'Lady?

As I lay to sleep I can close my eyes,
Love is here, I don't know why,
I can rest knowing that,
She will be close and safe, at heart.
The stallion was gleaming black and dynamic movement and sliding, shining muscles. He was flowing mane and flying tail, racing against the wind. He was vividly aware of the warm sun above, and cool grass beneath his hooves; of the backround murmer of running water; of bircall, and a stunning white mare, sleeking through the shivering stems. He was concious of an intense joy in living, of power, and of pride that arched his neck. His orbs observed the world around him, and his constant flickering sensitive ears moved as a sudden gust groaned among the branches. Long strided canter never stopped until he was before the mare. He bowed slightly, then spoke,
Hello m'lady. My name is Thunder, may I have the pleasure of knowing yours?
She seemed different, afraid, worried, call it what you will. Her eyes sparked though Thunder could tell it was not by will, something hid in those enchanting depths.
I found what love is,
I found who love will be,
All there is to do is this,
Wait and be what love forsees.
(Some of this is from the book Zara, by Joyce Stranger, modified though.)

Numaric Light watched as Thunder rolled into the claiming lands. He sighed Another competitor, wonderful He then rolled his eyes.

Keeper watched as many stallions started approching and decided that they were all going to scare the already frightened mare. His dark orbs looked to the mare, he wanted to help but all the attention wouldn't help and he decided to let this one be, I will let you be m'lady. With that he took a few steps back and turned around and walked away to perhaps find another.

Illusion watched Death's Keeper walk away, and respected him for doing it, It made him feel like he should go too, and he would--right after he found out if she was okay. but he thought for a little longer and slowly backed away I too will leave you. he said quietly.
But he didn't just walk away he stopped about twenty yards off to watch how she would take to the other two stallions. He did this because no matter what, he cared about her, even though they had not yet actually met. So he would watch...

Numaric Light watched the other stallions leave. He was filled with compassion and understanding. He wanted this mare, but not to harm her.

Thunder watched two of the other stallions back away, he understood their actions, they did not want to frighten her, or cause her harm, but he could not leave her. Her eyes enchanted him. Hurt showed through them, he wanted so to help her, he knew that Numaric Light would be able to as well but... he wnated to be absolutely sure. He sighed, maybe he should leave to, he knew she should be fine with him. As he pondered apon what to do he waited for the mare to speak, he hated thinking of her as the mare, or a mare, or mare in general.

Numaric Light gently asked M'Lady may my ears be graced upon hearing your name? He hoped that he had not frightened the mare with his voice.

h e a v e n;; i thought y o u might u n d e r s t a n d. i g u e s s i was w r o n g;; When they first stag came, Heaven could only smile nervously. He was a good looking stag- a pinto. And those blue, blue eyes... he was polite enough.. but before she could answer, another pinto stallion appeared by his side, his lyrics soft and quiet. They seemed gentle- but that was the thing- they seemed. She felt her heart speeding up. They were ganging up on her, she knew it. She couldn't yet, she wasn't ready, and there were so, so, many....
Because while she was staring at the first two, more brutes had walked up to her, all smiling those big fake smiles, with all their 'hello, m'ladies and my name is...' she didn't know what to do. But then... the first two backed away. She watched them, enchanted for a second but then the gray one spoke, his voice quiet, but he was so close, so strong- they both were! They could kill her, torture her in a second. Why hadn't she run when she had the chance? What was she doing here anyway? Didn't she know that stags were dangerous?!
And as she hurdled into a void of panic, her wild blue eyes caught those of a stag- she didn't know who's, she couldn't think. All she knew was that those eyes were gentle. Perhaps the only gentle eyes there? No. None of these brutes could be gentle. And with a final cry of despair, she turned on a dime and ran as hard and far as she could, praying that they wouldn't chase her. [/color][/left] |

She bolted, he stiffened, not daring to chase the mare. Slowly he relaxed, her past was surely broken. He moved slowly after her, taking his time, not wanting to frighten her, giving no indication that he wanted to hurt her, he did not, would not hurt, and if that happened may he fall to the earth. Wars were useless things, pain was brought apon too many.
_______________________________
Apollo was walking among the claiming lands suddenly he noticed a mare hurtling towards him, of course she did not see him. Suddenly he stepped out before her, he did not care if she ran into him. It would cause him no pain.
Well look here. What have I found? Ah, a mare.
he said looking at her, her form was exsquisite, she would be a perfect addition to his small herd, and with her there he would make the herd grow until it was massive.
Now then. You will come with me mare.
his voice was rough and abusive, he was one of the stallions mares feared.
________________________________
His brothers voice and scent reached Thunder. He picked up a trot, soon coming apon the fine mare and dreadful brother.
Apollo. Stay away from her.
His voice was definate, caring.
You care too much brother, mares are slaves, they should not be free willed.
That is where you are wrong, they should be able to choose for themselves.
he said, growing angry at his brother and for a moment his eyes flashed ice. Then he calmed and they returned to their normal blue.
He turned to face the mare, when you looked at him and his brother they seemed to be the same. All you could tell by was the blue eyes of Thunder and red hazel eyes of Apollo.

h e a v e n;; i'm trying to be b r a v e;;
Heaven screamed in terror as the black stag advanced and leered at her, his words cold and unfeeling. He was just like Arrow- just like him! And she knew that he wouldn't be a good stallion- he would torture her, kill her, and torture the others just as well.
But as the other black stallion came closer, Heaven's fear subsided. Thunder was talking to the other brute- they seemed to be brothers. And Thunder was definetly the nicer of the two. And he was defending her! No one had defended her for years- maybe even for all her life. This was a definite first. They stags stood side by side- sky blue eyes and red-hazel eyes, both burning with intensity. Both could kill her- but something kept her from running. What was it? Fear? Hope? Love?
With a sudden jolt of courage, she rounded on Apollo with blazing blue eyes.
Leave me alone.
She hissed, baring her teeth. She knew she couldn't fight him, but something told her Thunder would stand up for her. Maybe even fight for her. |

Apollo laughed coldly at the mares actions and looked at his brother,
I think you've given her too much hope Thunder. I'll just have to rip it away.
he sneered then looked to the mare eyes cold and laughing,
You need to learn some manners.
he sneered coldly, he stepped foward and was about to take a bite of her when Thunders black pelt met him. Thunder had barged inbetween Apollo and the mare, taking on his brothers teeth which dug into his shoulder, he slammed himself into his brothers teeth, knocking Apollo off balance.
Your the one that needs to leanr his manners.
Thunder said pointedly. Apollo glared at his brother but he was not stupid, well not extremely stupid, he turned away,
Don't expect this is the last you see of me Thunder. One of your other mares would be a great addition to my herd, like, say, Montana Sky.
Apollo sneered, knowing that Montana Sky was Thunders lead mare, Thunder had to use nearly all of his self control to stop himself from launching himself at his brother and tearing him to shreads. Apollo left, smirking, proud of the fact that he had agrivated his brother, and you shouldlisten to his words, he really did have an eye for Montana, she would produce fine foals. Thunder turned to the snow white mare,
Are you alright... um...
he said, then stopped because he didn't now of her name,
I'm sorry, you didn't tell me your name. I would like to call you by something other then "mare". |

Numaric Light noticed that the mare had stopped fleeing. His orbs brightened with hope. Maybe, he still had a chance with this mare

Relieved that Apollo was gone, Heaven relaxed and smiled sweetly at the two stags before her. She had to say, she was partial to Thunder as he had driven Apollo away, but the other one seemed worth getting to know. And best of all; neither of them seemed likely to hurt her. Her eyes sparkled at Thunder's joking words and her maw opened to let flow angelic lyrics.
I am called Heaven.
She turned to the gray stallion, and pricked her ears forward gently.
May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?
She asked softly. She was always polite; she simply couldn't
imagine herself any other way. It was a part of her, and it fit well with her grace and beauty.
ooc- sorry, no muse XP

Numaric Light smiled as the mare whispered. My name is Numaric Light. He nickered.

(all good, I really suck at posting sometimes. Sorry I haven't been on)
He pricked his ears at her words. It was obvious from her voice that she was good natured, just as obvious by her earlier actions that her past was hard and dark, maybe she would be able to relate to Reflection. He looked at her for a second, trying to think of a way to make conversation, she probably wanted to get to no Numaric Light and he wasn't going to deny either of them a chance.
How can it be that a mare such as you is not with a herd presently?
he finally came to, then wondered if he had asked to much, he did not want to bring back memories, so to make it feel that she did not have to, and hopefully stop any horrid memories, he added,
If it's not to much to ask.
