Cosmic

the handsome stag cantered into the lands as he entered his fore daggers left the loam and came back down more anger built up in him than he could control. as he landed he pawed the ground the stopped and took a few deep breathes. He looked up his bugle in urgent call to Nosh and any equines here. They all needed to be informed or something needed to be done. Two unknown stags had been taken from the wild already his mother had almost been caught.

Nhosh

Rift had relayed Cosmic's message, so the stag had stayed near the Oak Prairie lands awaiting the message. Wycliff and Painted were busy, but they were to arrive when they were finished dealing with a new member.

"Cosmic." Nhosh greeted as he approached the other, his voice serious. "Is your mother alright?"

Cosmic

His eyes meet Nosh he knew he could read the anger but most of all the fear writting deep in the lines. he spoke as he did his best to relax every noise made him think of the human.

|She is home resting. She was drugged with some dart its starting to wear off. But I was right two other stags were attacked and taken off by a human and another horse. I want to warn all equines if my mother was attack then he is not after just males but females too. And who knows how ling before he begins testing with other animals cougars and maybe one day deer.|

Cosmic paused to let that set in then the brute lifted his crown and sighed.

|I must do something this can't happen to anyone its not right|

Nhosh, Wycliff, & Current

Nhosh had heard of the darts, though he and the rest of his herd were lucky enough to avoid an encounter with one. It seemed humans much rather prefered to hit deer with bullets and arrows than they did tranqs. He grew more worried as Cosmic informed him of the other animals that this human had, and understood the threat it could pose to his herd in the future.

"This is very alarming, and you're right; something needs to be done." Nhosh was silent for a moment, thinking back on his experience. He and his band had attacked two deer farms in the past with great success; but something told him that this operation would be no easy task. "Well, I'm glad at least your mother is alright. Do you know by chance where this place is? With nightfall, maybe we could take a survey and learn the scope of things."

By now, Wycliff and Current had arrived. Nhosh quickly informed to the two of the situation. Immediately, Wycliff panicked and turned to the elder hind, "Would you round up Legend for me? And Prisoner, the young filly that is playing with him."

Current dipped her weathered head, "Of course, Wycliff." Although her senses were old and dull, she was still a decent tracker.

Wycliff tried to quell the panic that threatened to rise in her. Clearing her voice, she addressed Cosmic and Nhosh, "Painted should be here soon. There is another mare, Black Wonder, who wishes to join our lands as well. She too should be on the way."

Cosmic

Cosmic had yet to tell Nosh that his father had returned and that the herd was growing so quickly three had joined and one was on the way. he listened and whent things were silent he spoke again.

|i do not know, But I have an alley a hybrid wolf and great dane mix called Sniper. she is a wonderer and has been scouting the house for sometime. She say they the man collects horses and wolfs and wild dogs as well. He places then in a ring he calls a pit and lets them fight till one is near death of dead.|

He paused and now spoke of his father.

|My father, Vortex, has returned now and the herd is growing. I am trying to make a home for all equines who are roaming about a place safe for them away from him.|

Nhosh & Wycliff

"I'm glad to hear of your father's return." Wycliff added, though her tone still bore much worry. "I've heard a bit of the fighting talk. I've also heard of bait animals..."

Nhosh shifted uncomfortably, knowing even more about this than the lead hind. He doubted wild deer would be caught for 'bait' animals, but that didn't mean they wouldn't be hunted. And in any case, that still left Cosmic and his growing herd in danger. "If you like, I can post more of our patrol stags on the outskirts of your terra, to be sure no human comes your way. And if you ever need assistance, you know I would help. I've got a few canine allies of my own."

Painted

The mare quickly came up to the rest, hearing about a 'pit' and fighting. She had only known the fighting of her father, but didn't spare the details of which he did. Turning she looked for the new mare, happy that there was one to be like her. Then turning to the deer to pay closer attention to what matters befell them.

Cosmic

the hunter dipped his crown to the minx but was silent he knew Nosh was to update her and this wasn't his lands so he didn't take the lead.
