Cosmic

The two year old colt had been out playing sadly he had not found any his age to play with so he followed a mockingbird about when he stumbled over a root and almost fell upon the sod regaining himself the handsome silver colt with his ebonite hock kisser and banner with four knee high socks stood upon a hill looking down upon a larger herd. His fathers was small and some were missing including his sire. He nickered out happily hoping there would be others to play with not knowing that coming here unwelcome could be dangerous.

Little Earth & Valnigh

A yearling white-tail buck was the first to notice Cosmic. He had seen horses before, from afar, and he remembered just a little of them while he lived on the Deer Farm. Ears perked forward and stepping cuatiously, the young deer walked closer to the colt. "Who are you?" He raised his head a bit, ontop of which were two furry nubs that would later be his antlers.

A second visitor came now, much smaller than Little Earth and a bit bizzare looking. She was a mixture of breeds, half white tail and half white-lipped deer. "Who is it?" She whispered, sneeking up along side Little Earth.

The young buck looked back in surprise, "Val, you should be with mother! Shooo, before you get us both in trouble!"

Around here, there were mostly just the hinds, fawns, and some yearling bucks. Most of the stags had gone to the western part of their terra, although Nhosh and the some of the scouts regularly patrolled the borders. It wouldn't be long before one of them showed up.

Cosmic

When he noticed he had not seen horses but deer instead he was a little surprized as the first approched him he almost couldn't speak at his home the deer usually fled. Finally, he found his voice and spoke.

|I am Cosmic I was just scouting my sire is gone adn my dam let me go about I must have wondered out or terrain I am sorry if I anger anyone|

Little Earth & Valnigh

His large eyes took on a quizzical look as Cosmic explained himself. Sire? Dam? These were new terms to Little Earth, but at least this fellow seemed harmless, and polite. "Ah well, no harm done! I'm Little Earth. And this is my sister, Valnigh." He said, scooting to the side to reveal his half-hidden sister.

She stared unblinkingly at Cosmic, fear written all over her posture. With wide eyes, flaring nostrils, and tense stance, she looked like a deer on the verge of fleeing.

Little Earth laughed a bit, "Don't worry, he won't hurt you. Mom says they eat plants like us, anyway." He looked back to Cosmic, trying to sound a bit more 'authorative' as he spoke again, "I should take you to our Lead. He'll know what to do."

Cosmic

he smiled at the youngest deer her stance was almost funny but he managed not to laugh. Lifting his gaze back to the older male deer his crown nodded.

|I understand I will follow who is your lead? Is your father?|

Nhosh, Little Earth, Vlanigh, & Velvire

Little Earth shook his head, "No, my father is Scraff. Her's is Huyen." He informed, nodding back to Valnigh, who kept her frightened posture. "Wanna race there? It'll be fun!" He blurted out suddenly, for he and the other yearlings always loved a good run, especially a race against someone.

Without really waiting for Cosmic's reply, the buck turned and began to run. Vlanigh turned about on her spindly legs and raced after. But neither got too far. A large hind stepped into their path, giving a low bark and stamping her hoof into the ground. Valnigh ran for the hind instantly; for it was her mother, Velvire. Little Earth stopped quickly, "Erm, sorry, Velvire... I..."

She narrowed her eyes at the yearling, then looked with a start to Cosmic, "Little Earth... what's going on?" However, she gave him no time to answer, as motherly instinct told her to keep her little fawn safe. Nudging Valnigh, the two headed away.

Little Earth dipped his head, "Hinds... they're so worrysome! Don't mind her though." Taking care to avoid where most of the hinds were clustered, the yearling lead Cosmic to the eastern portion of the terra, and to a tall hill. "Ah, he's usually here this time of day! Come on, I'll introduce you!" Little Earth ran up the hill.

At the top, Nhosh stood perfectly still, his level gaze trained on Cosmic. Above him stretched two sword-like antlers, covered in velvet and not fully grown yet. Bristling his dark mane a bit, he took one step forward, his eyes still on Cosmic. "Who are you? And where do you come from?"

Cosmic

He was scarred he was only two and this huge buck before him with the larger antles spooked him and he found himself wanting to be like the female deer and flee but held his crown tiara lowered slightly to get him know he wasn't here to start anything. Slightly unsecure voice was issued

|I am Comic son of Vortex and Luna Dreams from the South of Haven Territory I was exploring the lands I got lost|

Nhosh, Little Earth, & Huyen

Little Earth looked expectantly to Nhosh, a bit nervous himself in front of the lead stag. But Nhosh was no tirant, although he was known to be harsh now and then.

"Vortex and Luna Dreams? They are new names to me, but I do know who you speak of, I believe." Scouts had reported back frequently about the herd's neighbors, so Nhosh did know of the horses' presence to the south of his land.

"Can he stay here and play a while?" Little Earth blurted out suddenly, then quickly regretted it. The stag turned sharply to the yearling, eyes narrowed. "No, he can't. Run along, now."

Little Earth hung his head as he turned away, but was stopped when Nhosh called to him. "You've done well to bring him to me. You'll be a fine scout someday." This pleased the yearling tremendously, and he dashed off all the quicker to tell his friends.

Now Nhosh was left facing Cosmic, "We'd best get you back home, Cosmic. Follow me." As Nhosh headed down the hill, he was joined by a white-tail buck. Unlike other deer of his species, this buck's fur was coal black; except the patches of white around his eyes and throat. He was melanistic.

"Huyen, any news?" The lead questioned the black deer. Huyen shook his head, "Nothing new, Nhosh. No problems with the Western Lands." As Huyen spoke, his dark eyes drifted to Cosmic, which Nhosh noticed.

"His name's Cosmic. Gotten himself lost." The lead explained, continuing his pace without a pause, heading south for the terra the colt was from.
