Comet

Comet entered the territary.He snorted looking around for others,He might claim this place for himself if another stallion isn't around.He let out a piercing scream challeng.Silently he listened for another stallion.

Jewelwing

Jewelwing entered the territary.Silently she walked down to a pool.Lowering her head she began drinking.Her heavy black mane falling down and her black tail blowing in the wind.

Comet

Comet sniffed the air and smelled a mare.Taking off in the direction he smelled her.Finaly he spotted her by the falls.Letting out a snort he walked up toward her."Hello i'm Comet and you are,and do you wish to join my herd,"he asked her.

Jewelheart

Jewelheart heard a snort and turned to see a stallion."Hello i'm Jewelwing and yes i like to join,"she said.Silently she wondered if this place could support a herd.Looking around she realized it could.

Ultair, Icefell, Polemos, & Lyssismach

Since the fight with the Shadow Haunters, Zaquaim had been mysteriously absence from the land. His younger brother was not leader material, although he did his best to watch over the three mares and their offspring. And he thanked his lucky stars that the Haunters didn't come back for a second round of fighting.

When Comet came to assert his dominance over the land, Ultair hesitantly declined to show himself. Instead, he remained downwind and out of sight, while the rest of the herd went to investigate. He wasn't sure if Comet was one of those stallions who tolerated other males or noth.

Icefell, the lead mare, lifted her head high as she cantered towards the new male and female. Behind her, her twin foals followed obediently along. Polemos and Lysissmach. "I am Icefell, lead mare of this herd." The orlov trotter announced, looking keenly from Comet to Jewelheart. "As you know by now... our lead stallion has not be around lately." She was fond of Zaquaim, but she would follow which ever stallion was capable of protecting the herd.

Polemos and Lyss remained quite as they stood behind their mother.

Comet

Comet heard pounding hooves before he saw the small group of horses.Suprised when the female in the front said she was the lead mare.He had thought no one was here since no one had answered his call."I've noticed that,"he said realizing that was why no one had answered his call.He was a full white, strong, and young stallion.It showed too if you looked at him.He turned to Jewelwing wondering if she would still be able to join.He could not be leader here unless the lead mare agreed to it.Then he noticed the two foals behind the mother.If he had a herd he make sure the young stallions stay to help him out especially by proctecting the herd.

Ultair, Icefell, Polemos, & Lysismach

Keeping her head up, Icefell put most of her attention on the new male. He looked strong and capable to her, "If you are looking to be the lead stallion, I am not one to oppose you." The white and grey-speckled mare announced, rather bluntly. As far as she was concerned, it was not her duty to interfere with what stallions did, so long as her foals were protected.

The mare glanced briefly to her offspring, nickering softly to encourage them forward, "There are two other mares that reside here - Blackberry and Glaze." Icefell continued, before nodding briefly to her foals, "And these are my childeren, Polemos and Lysismach. There is another filly, Innops. Daughter of Glaze."

Polemos and Lysismach looked up to Comet, but weren't sure what to do. Their father, Zaquaim, had never been the 'friendly' type. In fact, they often hung out with their uncle Ultair instead.

Comet

Comet was suprised at what she said.He dipped his head and said"Thank you."Silently he listened to waht she said.He knew it be important to know how many members were in the group.He watched as the two foals approached him.He let out a soft nicker which was unusual for stallions,but unlike most stallions he wanted other stallions in his group.He raised his head and tail in leader postition.

Jewelwing

Jewelwing watched silently as it all unfolded infront of her.Silently she wondered if she was still able to join the group."Do i need to leave,"she asked.She silently hoped she didn't have too.

Icefell, Polemos, & Lysismach

The mare looked to Jewelwing next, a soft smile accompaning her features, "No, you are more than welcome to stay." Her eyes shifted back to the lead stallion now, "There is one more thing that you should know of our pack. We are allies with a cervid herd to the east, known as the Oak Prairie Herd." They had fled there once, when the Shadow Haunters attacked. If worse came to worse, they could always seek them out for help.

Polemos took a step closer, plucking up some curage, "Hi." He offered, looking up at Comet. In the future, he would grow to be a strong and valiant fighter, but for now, he was marked with uncertainty.

Comet

Comet listened to the lead mare silently.He flicked his ears in agreement.He knew it was always important to have allies.He turned his head and smiled at Polemos."Hello,"he said smiling at the little foal.Looking at the foal carefully he realized that it would grow up big and strong.Silently he was thinking of which one he would point as second in command.Both foals would be good for the job.He'll just have to wait and see.

Jewelwing

Jewelwing smiled when Icefell said she could stay.She dipped her head towards her."Thank you,"was all she said.

Comet

Comet felt restless.Deciding to take a run he headed off.Wondering if the herd would follow him like they would any lead stallion.He turned his head to see if they were following.

Icefell & Others

Icefell tossed her head, whipping her creamy-white banner against the wind and lashing her tail behind her. To show her loyalty to the new stallion, she galloped after him.

Polemos and Lysismach weren't slow to join in. Eager for a good run, the twins bolted after their mother. Larger than his sister, and a darker dapple gray in color, Polemos soon started up a game of tag. After nipping her flank, he bolted away. Lysismach snorted and charged after him.

Comet's path led him near the other three mares in the herd. Glaze, her daughter Innops, and the foal-less mare Blackberry. Glaze and Blackberry drew their heads up from grazing and watched with keen interest and caution as the new male ran across the ground, with Lysismach and the others close behind.

Innops, a mostly black filly, instantly dashed forward when she spotted her half-siblings. With a playful whinny, she joined in the game of tag.

Comet

Comet smiled when the herd followed.After making it to the falls he slowed down and stopped so the herd can graze.Spotting a good place to watch the herd he headed for it.Climbing up the trail on the side of the fall.Dissapearing out of sight for a second the reappering at a hang where you could watch over the herd.

Icefell & Others

The three members soon came together, slowling their pace to a stop as they began to graze. Blackberry was the only one not to have a foal yet. The ebony mare kept her sights on Comet, wondering what kind of father material he could be. The foals, however, had more interesting things to do. Lysismach continued to chase about Innops and Polemos.

In the distance, Ultair watched the scene. The thoroughbred X draft mix had never been leadership material. He had always been under his brother Zaquaim, helping to keep an eye on the foals and keep the herd safe. Quietly, he began to graze, wondering if he would be chased off or not by the new stallion.

Jewelwing

Jewelwing slowed down and gazed contently a little way off from the herd.She glanced up every now and again a little unsure of herself.She was new here and wasn't yet used to it.Then she spotted a male stallion and let out a loud alarm neigh.

Comet

Comet turned his head and was watching.When he heard Jewelwings alarm call he turned to look.Spotting another stallion.Then he realized he was part of the herd.Nodding his head to the stallion to show he was welcome to stay.Then he watched his herd.Silently the stallion descended from the side of the trail and back to the herd.Walking through the herd he kept his ears pricked.Spotting Jewelwing a little way from the herd and wondered why.He didn't say nothing about not wanting to make the mare uncomfortable about it.He turned his thoughts back to the other stallion.Sielntly he wondered if he was going to cause any trouble.Then their was the other problem of stallions wanting to breed with mares.Glancing at the herd and then at the other stallion.For now hes welcome to stay unless he causes any problems.
