Numaric Light pricked his ears. Even though the other stag beat him to it, he was curious.

heaven;; i r u n but they a l w a y s find me in the e n d ; ;
How is it that a mare such as you is not with a herd presently? How is it? For a moment, she nearly told him 'I have only just left my father's herd...' because something told her that here, the past did not matter. She smiled sweetly at him, ready with her lie, and then it all came flooding back to her. The day she came to claiming, so alone, so hopeful, and he charmed her with his words, his charm...
How is it that a mare such as yourself is not with a herd? his blue eyes sparkled sweetly at her and matched her perfectly, were they not meant for each other? Ah, but sir, I have only just escaped death... she replied, unsure of herself, she knew only she loved him and she had to please him because they were meant for each other.... Then perhaps you will join my herd? He was so innocent, so innocent! With his charm, his beauty, he entranced her. What else was she to say but... I would be honored, m'lord...
She entered the land and gasped... a huddle of stood together, their bellies swollen and yet they were haggard and in bad health. All pregnant and mistreated... surely this could not be Arrow's land? Arrow, the stag she had loved and trusted? All right, wench. And she screamed and struggled, she could not, would not let him... but he beat her down and soon she huddled up against the other mares, but they did not share her pain. They had been numbed to pain years ago....
[color=whiteShe tried to shake the memories away, and she closed her eyes desperately but the vision of the dying mares just wouldn't go away. Desperate, she shook her head and finally she opened her eyes to see the rolling green plains of the claiming grounds and two stags standing beside her, their eyes wide with concern.
[/color] It is too much to ask...
She gasped, and turned away.[/sup][/center][/color]

Numaric Light danced around. He wanted the mare to speak so he could understand. He wanted to know how to charm this mare. He wanted to take care of her, he would be gentle.

The trees wispered to themselves, their long, protecting branches swayed, and a few puffy clouds sailed across the sky. Nickers could faintly be heard as mares and stallions talked amongst themselves.
I understand, or as much as I will ever be able to. he said then added, I'm sorry if my askings brought back bad memories. His voice was most unlike some other stags, it was full of meaning, it held an essance that he was always willing to tell the truth and shame the devil, he cared.
The black stag looked down for a moment, wondering if it was the right time to ask her. He sighed, what else could he do? He wasn't exactly the best at making conversation. He raised his noble head and gazed into her orbs, Heaven... May I have the honor of having you join me at Winding Woods. his words were hopeful, he didn't know if it was too soon...

Illusion stood watching, from behind some brush a bit back. As you had seen from before he had never really left. Something about her made him stay. He wanted to help, But he knew that she was already intimidated by just two stags. And no matter what he could say, she would not understand under fear. So he stayed hidden, and watched. His heart was given out to the fae. He needed to make sure she would fare well. If she accepted thunder's offer, he would leave with a clear concioence. She would be safe then. But somehow, he felt that considering how fearful she apperared she may not accept. So he waited, With only his bright blue orbs visible from in the brush, but only if you looked carefully. His gaze upon her was intense, but extremely gentle, even though he knew that she had not noticed him. And he was glad she had not, for if she did, and fled because of fear, and surprize, he would not leave clearly at mind. So he simply waited, watched, and listened gently hidden. He wanted to help, but at the moment, the best way to help, would be to not. So he waited....

Numaric Light turned away, yet he hesitated. Maybe this mare would prefer me? He turned around to face the mare. He didn't speak. He knew that both of them wanted the mare, other stags would have too. He was glad that there was only a few to claim this gorgeuos mare. He waited for her choice.

Illusion watched intently, there was gentleness throughout his orbs, though he was hidden. T' was not beauty that struck him about this mare, though she was but it was something stronger, and far more powerful. Yet, she kept it hidden inside. He understood how she felt, and was soothed a bit when he found that he could understand what she was feeling. Thankfully Heaven was not lost, Illusion could see that, but she was standing in a vast shroud of mist, and so she did not know the way. Would she find herself in time, before the dim candle flickers out? He suspected so, but he could not clearly tell. So he stayed hidden. Gently watching with bright blue orbs....

She couldn't decide. After all these years she simply hadn't needed to, and now she'd lost the power of identifying true love. There was something that she liked about his words, something sweet and caring, and she liked that fact that he understood what his words had done to her. Right then, it was just her and him in the world, and they stood on a tightrope made of her untold descision.
I... I do not know, sir...
Her voice was soft and she trailed off at the end. She didn't know, she couldn't decide. Did she love him? Did she love the other stags more? More importantly: Did he really love her? Or was he just another Arrow? Was he like all the others?

Illusion watched hidden. His breaths were quiet, and his piercing blue orbs shone a gentle glint. He took no step forward, and he made no sound to show himself. if things got out of hand, and something happened, he could step in. But if not he would simply watch, to ensure that heaven would go to a gentle stag. She enchanted him, and that was simply why he stayed hidden. As to not tense her. he wanted to help, but the best way to help now would to stay unnoticed...
The only part of him visible were his bright blue orbs, shining with understanding, and gentleness. And they could only be seen if you observed carefully...

Numaric Light spoke If you refuse him, will you come with me then? He looked at her.

It's up to you Heaven. You won't be forced either way. He said, he did not feel put off by her not knowing. Rather understanding, he knew that he had said something that had hurt her by making her think back, and it seemed she did not have a good history with stallions by the way she had first acted.
(no muse, aaaaaahhhh!!!!!)

ooc- omg, I am so sorry I haven't replied here lately!!! I completely forgot!
You won't be forced either way. Even though she'd been betrayed, even though her whole life had been ruined by words like these, they struck a cord in Heaven's innocent, naive heart. he wouldn't force her. he cared enough. Her heart seemed to swell. Her blue eyes sparkled with an unusual brightness when she looked at Thunder and she realized that her eyes were a mirror of his. There was something between them, something good, she didn't know how she knew, but somehow, she did. Her maw fell open before she could stop it and melodic, soft lyrics bubbled out like a babbling brook in a silent forest. Thunder... I will go with you. I trust you.
She had not trusted for... why, she had been a six-month foal the last time she truly trusted. Trust. It was an odd feeling after being without it for such a long time. But she knew there was something more than trust that she felt when she looked at Thunder. What was it? Something wonderful, no doubt. A smile lit upon her angelic face and her blue eyes blazed with hope. And in that second, she felt something she had never felt before. Love.
ooc- sorry Illusion and Numaric Light, but I don't have any mares in Thunder's herd, and he seems to suit Heaven best.

OOC: Illusion was just there to make sure another dark stag didn't step in. he wanted Thunder to claim her, because he knows that Thunder would take good care of her.

Numaric Light smiled as he watched Heaven turn and walk away with Heaven at his side. Thunder ws a good stag and will be good to Heaven. Numaric Light turned and cantred away, into the snow crested horizon.

(this should be fun, Thunder has gotten rabies, just warning you, I'll finish this up without them though)
Thunder smiled at her, glad she had chosen to go with him and nodded, Right this way then. He said kindly then led her off to Winding Woods.
