Sea Star ;; will you give me a home?

[yoda]

The young, weak filly walked cautiously and nervously into this strange land. After being evicted from her herd by her father, who had since killed her mother, she had been alone for nearly a week. Forced to wean herself before she was ready to survive, Sea Star was trying to live off grass. But her stomach couldn't easily digest such materials, so her energy was sapped.

She was weak, skinny, and alone. The filly had come towards the scent of horses, and she was completely at the mercy of any horse that wandered near. She only hoped that fate would be kind. Her single star upon her forehead had turned a dismal gray since she'd not been groomed in a few days. The elements were getting to her. If a few more days passed, she may die.

[Reflection]

Stormy Satan wandered into the claiming Lands because of Keeper's capture. There was a new stallion at the Hidden falls and she had decided to leave, to find a stallion she knew she could trust, unlike the new stag. Suddenly her orb was caught on a weak filly, and Stormy's heart was torn out by the sight of the poor thing. She changed gait into a smooth canter and went to the young filly...

Stormy Satan halted before the filly and looked emotionally at the filly. Her dapple coat gleamed and her orbs sparkled as she said gently to the young one Hello Young one, I am Stormy Satan. Are you alright?? Her heart had been let out to the filly already, and she dearly hoped that the filly would be alright...

[Thanos]

Grass blew in the wind, gentle breeze oh how sweet. Scents of many mares wirled about, and -what was that?- one of a lone foal. A mare stood by a young filly whos ribs you could see every one. Black coat was dusty, star turning a dismal gray with neglect of cleaning. Weakness seemed to surrond her with her slow actions. It was obvious that the mare had come across this filly the same way he was about to, by chance.

Hooves beat from a distance, black shadow moved toward.
The tall black stag moved foward in a canter, long legs that supported his 18 hand frame carrying him smoothly and surely. Head was held high with arch in his neck. Breeze blew his tangled mane and tail behind him, throwing it about. He came to a halt before the filly and mare.
Hello, I'm Thunder.
Then he looked to the filly, worry showing in his eyes,
Are you alright?

What is a filly so young and neglected doing here by herself? The lands are dangerous and it is lucky that my brother did not venture apon her. Besides, she needs her mother, she is too young to be able to properly digest grass.

[yoda]

Sea Star glanced at the mare. She couldn't properly look up at her because in her weak state, the filly was unable to life her head much higher than keeping it off the ground.
She tried to return the mare's words, but her voice was small, hoarse, and barely audiable:
"Sea Star." she said, "And-"
Just as she was beginning to finish her statement, another horse approached. The newcomer was a stag, she could tell that. And that worried her. Having never known another stag but her father, she had good reason to believe they were all the same.

His voice was deep, but still had a kinder tone than her father's harsh, accusing droll. Although, that didn't reassure her much. Sea Star slowly began to retreat, backing away, but never taking her small eyes off the stallion.

[Reflection]

Stormy Satan nodded kindly to the stag and turned back to the filly. Her heart ached as the filly started to retreat. She cried out softly to the filly No-Sea Star. Do not go, please. Nothing will harm you. Please, Please do not leave....Please... There was a wave of pleading in the mare's voice. and her orbs shone in desperation. If the Sea star left she would surely die. And Stormy just couldn't let that happen....

[horselover4ever122]

Moonshine wandered in. She saw a weak filly cowing under the gaze of a stag and a mare. She trotted over to check on the filly. Are you okay? She asked paitiently, not wanting to harm the foal.

[yoda]

The filla heard the saddness and solemn tones in the mare's voice. She stopped, but then saw yet another horse appear. Once again the question was posed. Sea Star did not answer. She was trying to decide wether or not to run...
"A-a-are you sure I'm safe?" Her voice was weak and shaky.

[Reflection]

Stormy Satan turned her worry-filled orbs towards Sea Star and said lovingly Yes. Nothing will harm you, I will not allow it. Her orbs shone with truth and her heart sang, as she asked once again. Now are you alright? Her movements were shaky and she vibrated with worrisome. She really hoped Sea Star was alright. Stormy would do anything to help the poor filly...

Stormy noticed that the filly didn't look convinced. So she gazed deepp into Sea Stars orbs and said with full honesty Sea Star I promise. Nothing, Nothing will hurt you. If something seemed a threat for you I would step in front to protect you. Sea Star, I hardly know you but I would put my life at stake for you, I swear it. Trust me.... Her voice was filled with worry, truth, love, and emotion for the young filly. Her orbs shone with gentleness, and she truly cared for the filly......

[yoda]

She was calmed by the mare's words. Sea Star answered the much-asked question, "I suppose I'm ok...Although I feel like something is not right." She was too young to understand the concept of starvation, dehydration, and death. The filly was simply lost, but what she didn't realize was that even though she'd seed her mother lying still in her old home, that she would not rise again. The filly had no way of understanding those strange thought processes. Her weak body made it even more difficult to think straight.

Soon, she had become even calmer with the company of the mare. She felt herself being blinded by trust to her, but she didn't mind. Once again, she didn't have a great brain in her head. The filly didn't realize about the cruelty of the world.
The question bit at her mind, and she couldn't help but speak it. If she didn't know the answer, then perhaps one of these wiser horses did.

Sea Star looked in turn at each of them, her eyes soon falling upon Stormy Satan, "Where is my mother?" Her eyes were hopeful. Perhaps they had seen her nearby.

[Reflection]

Stormy Satan pricked her ears at the filly's words and gazed into her orbs as she sadly said Oh Sea Star....I-...I just don't know....Do you maybe remember what happened?... Her voice was soft, and gentle and her orbs shone with compassion, love, and emotion for the young filly.....

What could've happened to the poor filly? She thought sadly. Sea Star was too young to be away from her mother, and her baing all alone, made the filly a perfect target for predators... Stormy's gaze never moved from the filly, and her orbs shone.....

[yoda]

Her hopeful gaze turned to a sorrowfull glower as she tried to recall what had taken place only a week earlier. She shut her eyes and thought hard..Sea Star remembered her mother's face. It was kind and inviting.

The filly spoke slowly, taking pauses every few seconds, and she revealed her story to the mare. "My mother and I were grazing in our terra...And Father came up to us. He said that we couldn't leave the terra...She asked him why and he said 'because I'm in charge and I order you to stay here.'" Sea Star broke off for a moment..Then began again, her eyes clenched tightly together.

"Mther was beginning to be afraid..Father had never made us stay in the terra. We'd always left because he was too demanding, and would always be rude to us. He'd still let us go. But now he wanted us to not go anywhere. I started to walk to the small tree on the edge of our terra, because it's a nice place to rest, but Father charged in front of me and told me to stay in the terra. I told him I was just going to rest, but he shouted at me..." Once again her voice trailed off..

"Mother came in front of me and started shouting back at him. She said that there was no reason I couldn't go lay down. But he said that he was the leader of this herd, and no matter what relation I was to him; that I had to follow orders. Mother got angry then and bit him. Father started to scream at her and he ran forward. I was confused, and everything was so loud...I backed away." The filly took a large breath. It wasn't easy to beat her mind and remember so much..

Later..it was almost night, I woke up. I don't remember falling asleep, but when I woke, I went to go find Mother. I saw her sleeping on the ground, and I went over to her. I called to her, but she didn't hear, so she just kept sleeping. I was about to lay down beside her when I saw Father running at me. It didn't look like he saw me, so I started to get out of his way, but then I realized he was chasing me. I didn't know what was wrong, but I ran. He caught me once..." she stopped abruptly, shuddering at the images flashed through her mind..

"But then I got out of his grip and raced out of the terra. He was able to bite me once, but I got away. Since then, I've been looking for my mother. Surely she would have woken up and come looking for me..." Sea Star finished her tale and opened her eyes. Small tears had formed in the corners of her optics. It had been a frightening experience, and all she wanted now was to find her mother and forget about her cruel Father.

[Reflection]

Stormy Satan felt tears prick at her orbs as she gazed sadly at the young filly. She just didn't know how to tell the filly that her mother would probably never come back, but sea star had to know.....

She gazed sadly at the filly as she said gently, and sadly Sea Star....I don't believe you'll see your mother again...It may have been that your mother was...well...dead when you believed her to be sleeping....There is a chance you may see her again but....the chance is slim... her choice was filled with sympathy and emotion for the young one, and her voice was soft. She knew that it was a lot for the filly to take in...but, it was the truth....

Stormy Satan never took her gaze off of the poor filly and suddenly the tears overwhelmed her, and They fell from her orbs. Even though she should not be the one crying....It hurt her heart tremendously to see the filly in such a mental, and physical state....

As the tears ran down her beautifully carved face, she raised her orbs back to the filly and said shaking the tears away Sea Star, Even if she is looking for you, we can't just wait. You need a mother until your true mother returns... if her mother returns... she thought sadly, and the tears came back, but lighter this time....

[Thanos]

Thunder still stood near but had made sure not to scare the filly again, staying as silent as mist. He nodded politely to Moonshine (who happened to live in his terra with him) before listening to the fillys tale, he felt a wave of anger at Sea Stars father, but kept it well hidden. What stallion would do such a thing?
Your own brother.
he sighed, yes, his own brother would do such a thing... He decided to try to speak to Sea Star again, maybe she would realise that Stormy Satan would protect her if someone tried to hurt her.
Sea Star... your father really shouldn't have been that way to you... it's just not right...
he said gentley.

[horselover4ever122]

That is so sad! Moonshine said softly. She hoped that the filly would be okay.

[Reflection]

Stormy Satan sighed at the other mare's words. The way to comfort the young filly, was not to tell her that her history was sad. The way was to make sure Sea Star understood that she was safe here....

Stormy Satan's orbs did not move from the filly's and her dapple gray coat shone lightly, as she nickered softly, encouraging Sea Star to speak....

[yoda]

Sea Star had been in a stunned code of silence...Stormy Satan's words echoed in her ears. Would her mother really not return? The filly felt lost, and vulnerable. But even though the words were harsh, she took comfort in the horses around her, who seemed to be kind.
The filly even felt a slight sense of security in the stallion, which was odd for her. Sea Star glanced up. If the grownups believed her mother would not be back, she was almost forced to believe it. They were much wiser than she, and knew more about things than Sea Star could imagine.
"But..." she said quietly, "What will I do without Mother?" Her innocent orbs flicked to the mare, the stallion, and back again; searching for an answer.

[Reflection]

Live your life as well as you can, and never forget your love for her. She's watching over you, now and forever. Live your live as she would want you to... Stormy Satan said emotionally. Honesty shone through her orbs, and she lowered her tiara, to be closer to the filly...

[yoda]

She listened and nodded her small, weak head. Sea Star glanced skyward for a moment, as if searching for her late mother. And then accepted the mare's nuzzle, nudging her comforting head. She'd never forget her mother, but Stormy Satan was right. She had to move on.

[Thanos]

The great stallion looked around, snow was beginning to fall, winter was here. It soon would be to cold for Sea Star,
Sea Star, I know this is alot to ask, but will you come with me to my home.
He thought for a second, it seemed like Stormy Satan didn't have a home either, he looked at her,
And would you aswell?
It would also be good for Sea Star, seeing as she seemed to trust Stormy Satan alot. Thunder looked at them as snow covered his black pelt.

[Mage]

Finally Death's Keeper managed to get a moment away from everything that was happening. In his absence his terra was taken over and he managed to fight and get a new one and give his loves a new home. Now they were settled and he came to see if he could find one more of his mares, Stormy Satan which had been a member of his herd longer then the rest. He knew he left in a hurry because of the humans taking him away and he didn't blame her for not wanting to stay with Zodiac but he was here to give her a home once again. He came to the top of a hill and walked down, he wouldn't intrude for he noticed the group was all around a filly and he didn't wish to scare her. As he got closer he heard the black stallion offer a home to Stormy, perhaps it was better but still it was up to Stormy.

He stopped beside Stormy and looked at the filly lowering his head and nickering a hello to her. Keeper didn't stand as close to the filly as Stormy was instead stayed back a bit and then said, Hello Stormy Satan. His words soft and kind towards her he was back and managed to get rid of his hate for the humans before he returned to his family. Now he only wanted to see Stormy in a good home whether it was with him or another, he just wanted the best for her.
