Prisoner

Flame licked female trotted into the lands playfully so the at foal could keep up. Turning to the little one and bobbing her head then rearing up and calling for the rest of the group to come. She wanted foals to meet foals.

Lowering to the ground she murmured and watched the little ones.

Firestorm/Nitro

Nitro arrived at her new home before her brother. She glanced at Prisoner and the others, then began grazing.

Firestorm arrived shortly after and began examining his new home.

Kei

Kei followed Prisoner to her home, looking at all the towering monsters. She had never seen 'zebras' so tall and without stripes. "Is this my new home?" She asked, looking up at Prisoner. "Are you my new mom?"

Royal, Mikia,greda,Cain

Royal followed prisoner closly not sure of this new place. Her nares flared as she took in oxygen and the smell around her.

Mikia heard the call and she came galloping over. she slid to a halt and sniffed the new young ones and then glanced at the other older horses to join.

Greda and cain came bucking after their mother they were now a year old as well.

Prisoner

The crimson draft mare looked about as she saw two new equines enter the land. Her nose flared and she whinnied a greeting, knowing that one of the others must have sent them here. Oh this was becoming an interesting group and a rather large one. She smiled at the thought of leading her army now.

As the zebra foal entered and began her small session of questions, Prisoner smiled as gently as she could. She was strong but couldn't help the fact that she had had a kind mother. "Yes, since I shall be caring for you. Mother." She repeated the word to get it into her own frame of mind. It would be new and no doubt she would have her own foal one day. But for now, the little stripped one could call her mom.

As Royal found her way in she nuzzled that filly just as well, Trying to keep both the zebra and the filly close to her at first. "I feel silly for I have not introduced myself, and do not know your names. I am Prisoner." She smiled and left a space for the others to leave their name and then whinnied to the other young ones.

Lyric

The tiny yellow seed-eater came fluttering around the group. Landing gently in Prisoners mane and looking to the opening where the two new recruits should be arriving. "They are new for you m'dear. The stallion is a handsome one." Prisoner looked up slightly, awaiting to see the two new members. She was proud that her division was so rapidly growing. "Awe, I see you found little ones as well. They are very beautiful." Said the Canary as she peered down to the arabian and zebra foal. If the zebra were to grow and mate, there would be an army of hybrid zorses. Lyric had seen very little of them, but to her eyes, they were one of the most beautiful equines there could be.

"Aye, they are beautiful." Prisoner responded gently, nudging both as a mother would.

Kei

Kei stood close to her new mother. She wondered about the fate of Kione, the Zebra mare who had taken the bullet for her. "I'm Kei." She said shyly.

Firestorm/Nitro

The stallion waved his tail, swatting away the pesky flies. "I'm Firestorm, and my sister there is Nitro." He said happily. It had been some time since he had last seen a mare besides his annoying little sister.

"Hi, Prisoner." Nitro said. "I am happy to be a member of your herd."

Nyack

The Sable Antelope bull followed his new bird friend to Prisoner's land. He walked in circles around the group, showing off his impressive pair of horns and his beautiful coloration.

Romeo,Royal,Mikia,Greda and Cain

Romeo the most beautiful fresian stallion followed the tiny bird.His nares flared as he soon came to a halt.His auds twitched lightly.He saw the other stallion but knew that he could beat him down if threatened.

Royal:"My name is royal"SHe nickered.

Mikia:"I am Mikia and these are my twin foals greda and cain"She nicekred nudging her son and daughter.

Greda:"Hi I'm Greda"She said calmly

Cain:He didn't say anything just stood there tall and proud.

Nyack

Nyack snorted at Romeo. The threatening look on his face said, Do you think you could win a fight against me? He always had to be the top-dog. He was in a constant battle with others; a constant battle for dominance. He stepped closer to the stallion, letting out a loud call. He loved a good fight. It prepared him for the war.

Kei

Kei looked up at Prisoner when she saw Nyack challenge the big stallion. She leaned up against her new mother and tried not to look at the fight, if there should be one.

She whispered some words to herself, just loud enough for others to hear if they were close enough.

"I can't see, I can't see,"
says the man who won't look.
Are there colors on the rainbow?
Are the meadows still green?
Are flowers still blooming,
and the butterflies seen?

"I can't hear, I can't hear,"
says the man who won't listen.
Have birds stopped their singing,
the brooks lost their song?
Has music stopped playing,
the symphonies gone?

"I don't feel, I don't feel,"
says the man who won't care.
Aren't feelings but knowing
of good things and bad?
Of caring for others
of gladness and sad?

"There's no life, there's no life,"
says the man who won't live.
Life is naught but what is sought;
yes, life is simply living.
And life is not collecting things,
life is really giving.

"I'm not loved, I'm not loved,"
says the man filled with rage.
Isn't love just reflections
of what you first give
for all of the others
with whom you must live?

"There's no God, there's no God,"
says the man with no faith.
See God's hand in the stars
in the skies.
In the prayers of a child,
in your silent sighs.

She looked back up at Prisoner, embarrassed, realizing she had said it out loud. "I-I'm sorry." She said, keeping her head low. "My mom used to say those words to me before our naughty master came to see us." A tear could be seen running down her cheek as she thought of her now-deceased mother who had loved her dearly. She had spoken this poem to herself often in her time of need.

Romeo

He snorted as the antelope challenge him.He reared up and slashed the air.He tossed his dial.He would try to intimidate first.

Prisonser

The mare nuzzled both children then walked up to the two and stomped her hind foot loudly in warning."You may fancy all you wish, bonk heads for all I care. But the first one to draw the blood will be the one who is the lower in this group. If you can not restrain yourselves in a family gathering, how will you keep a level head in the heat of battle?" Her nostrils flared and her tail lashed out in annoyance. What babies they acted like. Both beautiful, but obviously looks are only skin deep and these two seemed desprate to ruin each other's hides. "We do not give battle scars to each other, save your energy for the real competition. You both need to be in top condition when we fight our next battle." She gave a snort and then pawed at the ground once before turning back to comfort the two she had adopted.

Nyack

Nyack rolled his eyes when the big stallion tried to scare him. "That's not working, horse." He said impatiently. He looked at Prisoner and listened to her words. "Oh, no. I will not draw blood." He chuckled. "This is what we call a pecking order, Sweetie. Whoever wins a fight for dominance is, of course, the most dominant." He turned his head back to Romeo. "You think you're so tough?..." He stomped his hooves on the ground and shook his head. He stepped closer and swung his head at the stallion's face, gently enough that he would not bleed, but hard enough that he would feel it and join the fight.

Romeo

He snorted and pawed the ground."i am sorry prisoner"he tilted his dial and then just missed getting hit."Oh stop it full your not even of the same species so you are no competition in this place."He shook his dial."You have a lovly herd prisoner. I Am Romeo"He dipped his dial again. Okay so he was a bit intrested in prisoner but didn't make it obvious.
mikia snorted and tossed her dial."Antelope there is no true pecking order besides Prisoner and I. Horses are noble creatures so they respect their surperiors unlike yourself"She snorted and tossed her dial.

greda and cain stayed close to their mother.

Royal she grew closer to prisoner.

Nyack

Nyack glared at Mikia. "Noble?!" He snapped. "Then you must have never seen a Sable Antelope herd!" He looked at Romeo again. "I am a member of this herd just as much as you are, wimp. Therefore, I have the ability to compete for dominance with my herd mates!" He squinted his eyes. "You're just scared. You're scared that I'll skewer you with my horns!" He laughed, ready for anything.

Romeo & Mikia

Romeo:He snorted."Your a fool do you not listen to the leader!"He snorted.

Mikia:"be quiet antelope. Prisoner somethin needs to be done with his attitude! or he needs to leave"She snorted.

Nyack

Nyack snorted and rolled his eyes. "If you think you're more dominant than me, why don't you fight me?!" He exclaimed. "If you refuse to fight, that proves that I am higher than you."

Romeo

"I refuse to fight because I am noble and I know how to obey the laws of the leader! I do not go against ones wishs when their the leader. The mare's are the boss here so i listen to therefore i am higher then you for Im not acting like a child no more. You are a child and a mere antelope with horns that thinks he better and doesn't need to listen to rules so buzz off"He snorted and pawed the ground.

Nyack

Nyack shook his head. "No, you are only covering up for yourself. A noble animal would accept a challenge and win it!" He said, filled with rage. "You must think you're hot-stuff to be calling an animal stronger and braver than you a child. Now come on, and FIGHT!" He looked at Prisoner. "Dear mare, knock some sense into this stallion, will you? Explain to him that animals must fight to sort out dominance, and that if an animal refuses to fight, the challenger is automatically the most dominant."

Firestorm/Nitro

Firestorm glared at Nyack and Romeo. "The antelope is right, I'm afraid. One must fight to establish dominance, and the one who backs down, or refuses, in this case, is basically the loser." He watched them both for a while. "Stallion, I could fight the antelope for you if you don't want to fight him. That way, you would have nothing to lose." He hoped Romeo would accept his offer. It had been a while since he had last fought.

Nitro was nervous. "Have you seen that thing's horns?!" She whispered. "He could drive them right through your heart if he wanted!"

The stallion ignored his sister, and awaited Romeo's reply.

romeo

He snorted and glared."True but the mare prisoner does not want any fighting..."He then glanced at the other stallion and bobbed his dial."Yes if you wish to do so"He said.He would fight but he did not wish to go against prisoner's wishs.

Nyack/Firestorm/Nitro

Firestorm shook his head. "What Prisoner said, I believe was, 'You may fancy all you wish, bonk heads for all I care. But the first one to draw the blood will be the one who is the lower in this group.'" He informed. "That means that we can fight, but we can't injure each other." He looked at Nyack. "So, are you still brave enough?"

Nyack smirked, then looked at Romeo. "You liar." He said. "You changed Prisoner's words because you're too scared to accept a challenge!" He then turned back to Firestorm and called to him. He charged, head low, hoping to hit the stallion with his horns.

Firestorm squealed. He had no time to react, and was hit in the legs. "You're going to pay for that!" He exclaimed. His voice did not show rage, it showed happiness. He reared, then came down to the ground with tremendous force where he saw the antelope.

"Predictable..." Nyack sighed as he rolled his eyes and stepped out of the way. He felt the ground move when the stallion hit it. He stepped in closer and waved his horns at Firestorm, aiming for his face.

Fire pulled his head back and taunted, "Oh, no...I'd hate to see you lose against a girl..." He gestured for his sister to step up.

Nitro shook her head and fear could be seen in her eyes. But Fire was persistent. "Think of this as training!" He said gleefully.

The mare mumbled and took a few steps forward, ready to dodge any attack.

Nyack was furious. "So you have your sister do all your work for you?! You're pathetic!" He snapped, then charged at the mare.

Nitro turned around quickly and bucked wildly at Nyack.

The antelope was hit in the face by the small mare's hooves. He tumbled to the ground, stunned. He didn't want to say it, but Nitro had won. "You...Fine. You win..." He said, sulking.

Firestorm smiled and looked at Romeo. "And that's how it's done." He stepped closer and whispered, "And antelopes are really really stupid compared to us."

Romeo

True that was what prisoner said but romeo would shed blood if he faught so he did not wish to fight.He had so much pent up anger that if he fought he would make the other bleed.He snorted and pawed the ground."I do not fight because I know I'll shed blood"He snorted and then watched the others fight.He then listened to the horse and bobbed his dial in a gesture of acknowledgement."Indeed they are, I'm sorry to of made it seem i was changing around your words but I knew that I would shed blood if i fought prisoner"he said calmly.

Nyack

Nyack rolled his eyes. "I would shed more blood than you, yet I didn't shed one bit!" He said. "Why do you think that is? I have learned self control." He stepped closer and still looked up at Romeo. "I am going through the same thing as you, Jumbo. And I've seen the way you look at that mare. If you want to gain a female's respect, you have to prove yourself. Obviously, you are incapable of doing so."

Romeo

Okay now he was sick of the antelope so now it was time to chase him from the land.He snorted and his ears pinned back.He charged the antelope and stayed do his hind end and snapped at it but not hard enough to draw blood just hard enough to give warning."do you really want to be messing with an animal that out weighs you by 1000 or so lbs? You may have those horns but i have my weight which could crush you in seconds"He pawed the ground now waiting for a reply.

Nyack

Nyack jumped out of the way. "I could gore you before you crush me. Face it - I'm faster than you." He chuckled. "Are you trying to intimidate me? 'Cause it's not working." He continued to ramble. "So you're so scared of me that instead of fighting me, you'll try to drive me away. What if I join the other team and aid in the war against the Haunters?"

Romeo

He snorted and reared."oh please you'd be a fool to join the side that will loose"He snorted and shook his dial.He then charged him.He turned so his hind end was facing him and he kicked out at him and then twisted around aimed a quick light but enough to hurt bite at him.

Nyack

Nyack was too caught up in his rambling to see the attack. He was kicked in the mouth, and small amounts of blood started to drip out. He did see the next attack, however. He lowered his head and his horns took the bite. He had the disgusting taste of blood in his mouth, and he just glared at Romeo. "You cheated." He said, still drooling the crimson substance. This time, he didn't attack. He waited and watched, wanting to see if the stallion would have an excuse for this one too.

Romeo

He hadn't even aimed for the animal's head he snorted and tossed his dial in disguest!."Your a fool moving your head into my attack!"He snorted normally if that kick had landed any where else on the animals body it would of maybe bruised but it wouldn't of bled. The cut on his face wasn't sever for the kick wasn't his fool power he of course was holding back.He knew he wasn't suppose to draw blood but he couldn't help him if turned his head into the attack.He threw his head in aggrivation.If prisoner blamed him for this blood drawing he would be furious and leave to find a herd that knew right.

Nyack

Nyack stomped his hoof. He had kept his whole body completely still the whole time. "I did not move my head into your attack! You think I want to be injured?!" He snapped, choking on the blood. It dripped to the ground in a puddle. "You are just making more excuses!"

Romeo

He laughed at him and tossed his dial."you fool my kick was intended for your hind end where it wouldn't even cut you!"He stomped his hoof.

Nyack/Firestorm/Nitro

Nyack tossed his head. The kick still would have wounded him if he was hit on the rear end, as he was an antelope. "Yeah, it would have cut me...Either way, you disobeyed and hit me in the face and drew blood." He said, then coughed up the blood he had accidentally swallowed.

Nitro glared at Romeo and Nyack. "You two should be ashamed of yourselves! You, stallion, for disobeying; and you, antelope, for being incredibly rude!" She scolded, then stomped her hoof.

Firestorm watched, but stayed out of it. He knew not to get into an argument with his sister.

Romeo

He glare.d"oh please i didn't disobey i was not aiming for your head i have standing by your hind end. See this is why i chose not to fight cuz this means if i can't draw blood seeing as your pelt is weak that means i can't really fight your pathetic."He shook his head."im sorry prisoner but if your herd is gonna consist of rude animals such as this then i am not fit to be here"he said." i am a much nobler steed then this and I hate making others bleed that is why i chose not to fight in the first place for this antelope is weak and is just a show off completly with only his horns to back him up'He shook his dial.

Nyack

Nyack moved his mouth and rolled his eyes as Romeo was speaking. "Oh, you poor baby..." He said impatiently. "<,b>My pelt is strong and I have much more than my horns to back me up. If I could kill a lion, I can surely kill a horse. And if you chose not to fight, why did you fight anyways?" He snorted, stomping his hooves on the ground. He began to walk away, but looked back to say one last thing. "I don't want to be a member of a herd that houses big babies."

Firestorm/Nitro

Nitro watched Nyack leave. "Now look what you have done!" She said to Romeo. "He was a great fighter! And he was intelligent, too! He could have come up with a plan that would surpass all those made by the enemy!" She snorted and stomped her hoof.

Firestorm still stayed out of it, for his own safety.

Romeo

"If your pelt is so strong how would my hoof of cut your pelt in the first place? I didn't even use my full strength!"He snorted at the antelope.He shook his dial."Yah if you could get me with your pathetic horns."He then glared at the mare."oh intelligint! You think being rude and causing fights is Intelligance. yah thats the best intellligance. I have led a herd before and anyone who started fights that weren't neccisary were kicked out!."He glared these three were pathetic."I'm sorry prisoner but i don't feel as if this herd can be a true herd since this mare that speaks of this antelope having intelligance is a bit arrogant herself. If you wish for me to join you then she best be put in her place"he said and then turned to leav.e"oh and little bird i'm sorry but you didn't tell me t hat pathetic animals would be in the herd but thanks for your help anyways"

Firestorm/Nitro

Nitro tossed her head. "Arrogant?!" She snapped. She listened as he spoke of his herd. "Then you are not a very good leader, for that fight was necessary!"

Firestorm stomped his hoof. "If you're going to talk about my sister like that, you'd better leave." He said angrily.

Kei

Kei watched the different sides argue, blaming each other for what happened, doing all that her parents taught her was wrong. "STOP!" She shouted, then looked up at Prisoner. "Can you tell them to stop fighting?" She asked fearfully.

Prisoner

The mare snorted in anger as both were walking away. "You two are both babies if you cant act like adults. The reason we don't have fighting in the group is for this exact reason! You are both at fault. You antelope for your rudeness and provocations, and you stallion for falling into his trap. If you were a foal I would tell you you have much to learn. But since you are the older I say you need to grow up. If you taunt an enemy and you are alone, surely you will be killed. If you fall into their lies and taunts surely you will be killed. Either way you both lose that fight. And you two! She snorted and looked to the two new horses. "You should not say what should and shouldn't be done in a herd you do not know." Her anger conintued to simmer and she lowered her head in sigh. Nuzzleing Kei for standing up to everyone.

"The antelope is strong and nobel for their bravery against odds that could kill them. They should not persuade a comrade to fight with them, this pack has a little pecking order. I try and run this side with next to no violence within the group. Risen would have your heads for your actions. If you are against the Haunters you will surely fall, and I wish that of no one but they persist to stay against us."

She turned to the stallion. "And horses are wise and strong as well. They may not have horns but they do have the power of their hooves. They should also be able to constrain themselves. Which both of you have failed at. I wish you both life, but since you leave. My wish will go unheard...." She shook her pate slightly and nudged both Kei and Royal. "I am sorry you had to see that. The only one who normally passes punishment is our leader. You will not recieve that treatment from me. Nor any other in this herd." She watched the two leave.

Lyric was frantic and quickly circled around both stallion and antelope. Trying to keep them from leaving with only begging chirps. They were both beautiful creatures and she wished neither of them go. There were other fresians out there, and other antelope, but still she only wished.

Kei

Kei snorted at Firestorm, Nitro and Romeo. "Everyone knows that fighting is only for whiny babies!" She said, then looked up at Prisoner. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that." She was quite bold at times, but she felt she usually paid for it.
