Mocha
Where am I?! was all that ran through the filly's head. She was alone, lost, and to top it off, in a land she didn't even know. Lather had formed on her coat as she galloped blindly through the open prairie. Her black eyes were rimmed with white as she tried to keep her mind focused. She hadn't known what she was doing the last few days, all she could remember after such a trauma was that loud ferocious spitting sound and then her fellow equines going crazy. She could barely even recall how she escaped in the first place. Since then, she hadn't wanted to stop once. She refused to even look behind her, till suddenly, for what felt to be the hundredth time, her legs tightened and she stumbled, causing them to buckle right beneath her and send her tumbling into the tall grasses. Her mind was racing as was her heart, which thudded in her own ears. She struck at the air a few times in a struggle to get back up, but she was just too tired and worn out to risk it. Settling her head back she snorted, nostrils flaring and eyes half open. Sleep... It was so appealing to her now as she was mostly hidden by the grasses. Without barely a second thought in a long time, her eyes closed and she drifted into a deep sleep.
Jewelwing
Jewelwing was out by herself after just being turned into second in command of Comet's herd.Blinking she looked around wondering if she could find other horses to join Prarie Falls.She almost stumbled upon another horse, and barely backed away in time.At first she though that the horse was dead, and then she saw that the horse was breathing.She snorted loudly to try and wake the other mare.Her head and tail were in neutral so not to hopefully scare the other one."Hello i'm Jewelwing of Prarie Falls,"she said with a smile.Ears perked against her head she awaited a answer.Even to show that she wasn't a threat she bent her head, and took a bite to eat leaving all her senses down before she looked back up.

Almost immedietly after falling asleep, her mind was filled with horrifying visions. It was all dark, obviously night, and there was lightning in the sky. She could make out some furry shapes in the flashing light and suddenly they leapt straight for her just as the unknown voice on the outside spoke, causing her to awake with a start. Her eyes opened wide and though she wasn't feeling very refreshed, she managed to lift herself to her hooves almost immedietly before simply crashing headfirst back into the ground. It was then that she drew in a deep breath and spun toward the other form standing over her, and she lifted herself shakily. "What... Who are you?" she asked, finding no way to escape, despite it being just another equine. Her voice was shaky at first, till she managed to make it more straight forward. She didn't know this place or the inhabitants, so she figured, even in her somewhat dazed state of mind, to be careful regardless.
Jewelwing
Jewelwing backed up just a bit more to give the other mare space."Please calm down i mean no harm.As i said before i am Jewelwing,"she said her voice soft as summer rain.Hooves stomped against he ground as she waited for the other mare to voice her name or something.Brown orbs looked to the other mare whos name she did not know yet.Ears still perked she sniffed finding nothing dangerous about the other's scent.

In all her life, she had really never had a reason to not like, let alone trust, another equine. So why should she start now? Sure, it may be another land, but how different could the horses be? Sighing deeply and attempting to regain composure, which had been so hard to obtain over the past few days, she shook herself off and bunched her muscles up. Maybe it actually was to her benefit to be around another equine. It made her feel more like she could handle things. "Oh, hello... I am Mocha." she stated, and then glanced around at the barren prairie. She had never seen such a place before, and she was at a total loss of words, to say the least.
Jewelwing
Jewelwing smiled when she heard Mocha's name.She was about to answer when she noticed the other mare's look around the prarie."I was lost for words myself when i first came here.Then i found Prarie Falls a wonderful place to live.Lots of trees,open scenery, and a huge waterfall.My leaders Comet and Starfire are great as well.I'm second in command as of today.I'm here looking for new members,"she said.She waited for the other horse to answer her.Flicking her black tail she snorted.

Mocha stood there and finished looking about the prairie, and then sighed once the other mare was done talking. It was quite a mouthful really, but she managed to get it all, and nodded. Her ears planed out as she suddenly felt a sense of longing and even a bit of jealousy. She had never been in a herd though... She really didn't even know what a herd was. She wasn't even a wild horse. Just another horse in someone's barn, but at least she had been loved and taken care of while she was there. She gave her head a small toss and managed a small smile. "Sounds like a great place," she began, and then tilted her head for a moment, "What's a herd?" she then seemed to blurt out, and then she would have blushed if she could. It seemed like such a stupid question.
Jewelwing
Jewelwing smiled at the other mare's question."A herd is where a group of horses live and love,loyalty, and kindness if found among many other things.If you like you may come back with me and see if you can join.Mind you will have to obey me and the two leads, but we're not harsh,"she said with a smile.Ears flicked as she awaited a answer.

The grulla mare looked at the older equine with an interested gaze. A herd didn't sound so bad, it sounded just like how she lived back home. Before that night... She shivered just a bit, but pushed the thought aside and smiled lightly. She had taken orders from her parents, so such a thing couldn't be so different. She had her doubts though.
She gave a brisk nod and perked up a bit. "Sounds like home." she stated almost automatically, and then realized it. She would have blushed then, surely. "Uh, I'de love to join you, if I'm allowed." she said, swishing her tail out of the excitement building inside her. This may be her chance to live around other horses once again. It'de be depressing nonetheless to not have her parents or friends around her like before, but she had this chance at leading her own life, away from those she already came to know so long ago. She hated to think of it like that, but it was the truth. She also thought of the protection one of these 'herds' could provide her with.
Jewelwing
Jewelwing smiled at Mocha."Come on then.Sooner or later you might even have your own foals,"she said.She led the mare to Prarie Falls.
