Stryker

The ebony stallion returned from war battered and exhausted, but the bother was not severe. They lost warriors in that battle, so much blood...so much loose flesh. Stryker was breathing heavily as his eyes swept over the herd, seeking out Dawn and Jasmine. Fear welded inside of him as he wished to talk to Autograph's mate, and his daughter. Stryker called for the mares, subdueing his tears.

Dawn,Jasmine

Jasmine came running when she heard her mate's call.Coral was right behind her nickering.They stopped when they sensed his sadness.

Dawn soon followed hopefully with her daughter.She saw Stryker's mood and fear streaked through her."Where's Autograph,"her voice full of fear.

Stryker

Stryker glanced at Jasmine timidly, but then addressed Dawn. "I...I'm sorry. He was killed in battle, fighting for those he was most loyal to," Stryker explained shakily, his voice full of sorrow and his body weak.

Seabreeze had come and heard this. Gasping, Breeze buried her head in Dawn's shoulder. "No..." Breeze sputtered.

Coral went as well.She tried to nuzzle her cousin.

Dawn couldn't believe it at first."Thanks for telling us Stryker,"she managed to say.Then she nuzzled her daughter tears springing down her face.

Jasmine comforted her.
Coral looked at her cousin."So do i cousin, so do i,"she said trying to still comfort her.
