Shatan

The stallion slowly walked over the wildly grassy land, seeking new things. He slowly gallops up to the stream, takes a sip, and then heads back through the Prairie. He bucks at the sky and stopped under a small tree, and grazes endlessly.

Vevisca

The sullen wolf had never seen a horse before, although he had smelled them at the Ranch once. He was emensely curious of this galloping creature who was much larger than him. With his interest winning out over caution, the wolf lopes along at an easy pace, heading for the stallion. He holds himself in a way to show he isn't hunt; for Vevisca sees that this creature looks like an herbivor, not a hunter like himself.

Shatan

Shatan grazed without an end, when his powerful ears pricked up and forward. He reared and neighed loudly, his noise echoing across the land. He reached the ground with a hard thump, and franticly searched the Prairie. When he seen it was a wolf, he slowly backed away, but then forced himself to stay. He waited to see if the wolf would go to him.

Vevisca

Vevisca cowered back at first, startled very much by the horse's reaction and the strange noise it made. "W-wait, I don't mean to hurt you!" the wolf stammered out, stepping forward a few more feet, but giving Shatan his space. "I'm Vevisca. Who... what are you?"

Shatan

Shatan slowly calmed himself as he walked about, over to the wolf. The wolf was so far away, he started up at a gallop, then slowed to the canter when he reached her.

He neighed "Good day!" to the wolf in a happy voice. "I am Shatan, and who are you?" he neighed to the seemingly small wolf. He snorted and sniffed at her. He swished his tail around happily.

Vevisca

He shrunk back at first, then lifted his muzzle up and sniffed carefully at the horse as well, letting his initial fear tide down. It was quite intimidating to have such a large creature gallop towards you! "I'm Vevisca. I've never seen your kind before. But I've smelled them with humans. Are you... wild?"

Shatan

The horse swished his tail again before replying. "Yes, I am wild. I had a horrid future before though. Its was terrible!" He slowly lowered his large head to graze at the tall grass, eating endlessly again, but still waiting for a reply.

Vevisca

The wolf watched Shatan eating, and it reminded him of how hungry he was. But Vevisca quickly put that feeling aside; he much rather satisfy his curious mind and make friends with this horse instead of trying to hunt him. "There are horses at the Ranch. If you're anything like the caribou or deer, I'm sure you'll get lonely by yourself. Go talk to them or get one to be wild like you, if you want. But... well, you'd have to watch out for the humans and dogs." Vevisca didn't know why he was being friendly to a prey animal, but he couldn't help himself.

Shatan

The stallion raised his head slightly. "I need no fear of dogs. I can easily smash anything. Bucking and kciking are the best stratagies for any horse." He pounded his hoof. "I have never been attacked before, but if I ever do, I'll probobly run away, for you know, we horses have extreme speeds."

Vevisca

He nodded, watching the hoof slam into the ground. It reminded him of the moose and other large herbivors. He knew just how deadly those solid feet could be. "I understand, you should have little to fear from a lone dog or wolf. But don't let yourself get caught by a pack. That's our strength." He grinned just slightly, but didn't want to frighten or offend Shatan, "But do fear the humans." His tone took a more serious note, "It sounds absurd to me, but I've heard that they ride on creatures called horses. Now if that doesn't classify them as odd, I don't know what does! But their guns and traps are the worst."

Shatan

The horses eyes died away from the wolf as the horse looked off over the land. "A pack? I think I could have an easy time with anything, its just the humans. A horse can go overly crazy, bucking, biting, kicking-- all in one. You could possibly get killed by a horse if it gets over frightend, or something like that." He slowly thought to himself. He wish he were in a herd, which horses should be in. He brushed the memory away as he shook his head slowly.

Balto

Balto slowly trotted through the Prairie, the grass almost going up his nose. He warmly trotted into the shorter grass, with his friend behind him. He sniffed the air and then followed the scent. There was a horse. "See?" he slowly said to his friend.

Ankh

Ankh traveled silently behind Balto, delighting in just being away from the human area and out in the cold, crisp winter air. When he spotted the horse, his pulse rose with his excitement. "Woah, that's a pretty big creature!" he murmrud to his friend, the glanced to Vevisca, not sure who he was. Ankh looked to the horse again, "You're awfully big. Do you have a name?" Despite his size, Ankh was bold in nature.

Shatan

The horse slowly looked toward the other two. He slowly sniffed at them, and then raised his head again after Ankh questioned him. "My name is Shatan, and who are you?" His eyes were large as he slowly walked closer to the other two, still keeping an eye on the other, not sure who to concentrate on.

Ankh

"Ankh." the hybrid responded, eyeing the horse carefully. His licked his muzzle, feeling quite hungry now. But Shatan seemed to be healthy, so Ankh decided against attacking him. "Where did you come from? Do you migrate like the caribou?"

Vevisca

He turned to the two new arrivals and lifted his head. "Hello, who are you? I'm Vevisca..." he wanted to make some more friends because he was very lonely after his dear friend Amber dissapeared and his pack was defeated and sent away. Vevisca glanced to the horse again, "Shatan, maybe we can help you steal a she-horse from the Ranch? You can start your own herd!" He didn't know that female horses were called mares.

Balto

The hybrid looked eerily at the horse, and then sniffed around. "I have to leave right now!" He raised and wagged his tail. "See ya later!" he called befoire troting off into the far away forest

Shatan

The horse looked up at the leaving wolf hybrid. He seen the eerie look and so turned back toward the other two. "I would prefer not. There is danger in human places. I do understand people come here too, but going to a place with alot of them is bad." His head sunk down and bit some grass up. "Anyway, horses can be an automatic tool for hunting and catching, maybe." He pounded his back hoof and lowered his head again to eat more.

Ankh

Ankh casted a look at the other wolf, "Ankh. A member of the Shadow Lurkers." This information he boasted proudly, for his pack was one of the strongest in the valley; if not the strongest one. "Shatan, do you plan to live alone? Maybe you could join a deer herd or something? Or, wait..." something came to the small hybrid, "There is a deer at the Woodland Farm. She's a strange one... but if you could make friends with anyone, she'd be the one. And as much as I hate to admit it, that human there is a good one. As far as I've heard and experienced, she won't try to capture you or hurt you in anyway. It's just a suggestion though. Personally, I don't like any humans."
