Star Fire

The silvery white mare cantered into this seemingly deserted land, looking around her with awe and suspicion. She had smelled no other equine, no predators either. Rearing high she neighed her challenge to any who still remained, and if there were none, her claimance of the lands.


Comet

Comet came padding into the land followed by Melinda,Firetail,Star Dreamer, and Startail.Thats when he heard the challenging call from a equine.He cantered to the spot it came from followed by his herd."This place is already led by me.We left due to the floods and are just returning.You are welcome to join as a subordient though.Ranks will rise if you prove yourself,"he said.If she looked around she would notice that none of the other mares head was as high as his except the wolf Melinda who owned the western side.He would have to choose a lead mare, and very soon due to the herd must be strong with two leaders.He waited for the mares answer quietly.


Star Fire

StarFire looked at the handsome stallion sheepishly. "I am sorry for attempting to claim your lands, There was no fresh scent here. I would like to join your herd very much, thank you."

She smiled prettily before bowing her elegant crania, showing him respect while apologizing for her presumptuous behavior.


Comet

Comet smiled."That is okay.I was the same way when the last lead mare Icefell owned this place.I was still able to become lead stallion though since theres had died.I am going to choose a new lead mare today at sundown.Its time that i admit that the rest of the herd isn't comming back.Just then Jewelwing padded up, but Comet ignored her already seeing that she was alone.No scent herd on her so shes been alone for awhile.Melinda ran off to check her side of the territary.


Star Fire

Nodding her crania as he spoke, she was intrigued. Looking around her she saw no other horses, only a wolf. So the only possibility was herself, which she did not mind. She had hardly met this stallion, but already she was interested in him. A smile flickered at the corners of her mouth, awaiting sundown while she gazed past him to the massive waterfall, longing for a drink but not wishing to move, lest he disapprove and turn her away.


Comet

Comet watched silently."I will be back a bit before sundown,"he said to all the mares and the foal.Not including Star Fire there was Jewelwing,Star Dreamer, and Firetail who all wanted the postition.They looked at each other when Comet left.They were tense and cautious to see who will speak first, and what that mare will say.


Star Fire

StarFire nodded, agreeing, then took this opportunity to canter to the waterfall. Staring in sheer awe at the power of the water, she dipped her elegant crania and drank. Satiated, she trotted back to the others who she had not noticed in her surprise at finding someone else in the seemingly abandonded terra.

Looking at them, she spoke, her voice soft and musical. "What are your names? My name is Star Fire. Who do you think Comet will pick? It will surely be one of you seeing as I have just arrived here."

Tossing her crania slightly she lowered it to graze on the sweet cloer and grass beneath her feet. She felt that she could become very comfortable here, if given the chance.

She was a fiercely loyal, kind and patient mare. The only reason she was on her own was because most of her herd had scattered when the two leggeds had come, and she had wandered into this place of lush grass and mighty water.


Jewelwing

Jewelwing watched the mare quietly."Jeweling,"was all she said.Then she trotted away from the group of mares a bit.She began to graze quietly.

Firetail smiled at the mare."I'm Firetail and this is my sister Star dreamer.Thats my foal Startail,"she said nodding her head to the filly playing a little bit away."We're new as the well.The only one thats been here awhile is Jewelwing, and she just showed up after being gone for quite awhile.I don't trust her,"she added in a whisper.It was true Jewelwing had dissapeared for awhile without an explanation to the herd members.Comet didn't even ask where she been.The reason why is because he knew, but the others didn't.
