ember

the mare walked around. So, she was the center of his attention. Not her goal, but it would do. she wished another mare was here so she could crush her on the inside.. not that THAT wasnt going to happen. not with this stud anyway. He probably would pic the mare that would tattle-tale the most. Geez. She rolled her eyes at the thought. She stopped by a stream and drank some water.

Luna Dreams

pillars bring the albaster maid with the silken ebonite threads into the lands of her stag. Onyx pools scan the lush lands warm smile moving across her maw as she moved forth. Paper thins expanded taking within them the scents, mentally noting the hint of another vixen. Looking for Vortex she lowered her tiara to pull from emerald spruts from their roots before lifting her sculpted tiara again.

Vortex

Earthern titan entered 'pon his homeland only to find his latest beauty already here. Towers carried the monarch to her side. He nipped her in greeting before his optics moved to rest on Ember. Without moving his gaze the brute spoke to Luna.

Greetings, I am glad you made it here safely M'lady. That vixen 'pon the horizon is Ember. She also resides here. She isn't what you would call a light but she is still part of this herd. Please do not be offended by her actions.

His gaze then came back to Luna and he smiled, his honey optics now looking deeply into hers.

Welcome home.

Luna Dreams

The ivory vixen smiled as the titan moved to her side. Gental smile moving across her maw as he gently nipped her. Lowering her tiara she nuzzled his shoulder gently in return as he spoke of this Ember. Gaze drifted to the minx thoughts wondering upon what she could do to offend her. Melody played forth to him.

|She shall find I am not easy to offend. As for this I like calling it home its so lovely. Thank you for inviting me here Vortex.|

ember

The dun mare trotted up to the new mare, ears laid back and brows raised. She could easily crush this mare. Fresh meat. She looked down at the mare coldly. "I didn't know Vortex brought in a slut" she hisses rather loudly.

Luna Dreams

tiara tilted sideways as the minx Vortex had called Ember trotted before them. EBonite spheres blinked as the harh and unwelcome tones of the vixen moved through her sonars and into her matter. Instead of acting offended or hurt a warm smile moved across her maw as melody played forth from albaster maw.

|Hello, Ember. I am Luna Dreams. Please call me Luna. Its nice to meet you|

Vortex

He smiled at Luna but as Ember approached and his eardrums caught her words, the smile turned to a frown. His ears went back and he snorted. Moving his bodice between the two vixens, he glared at Ember.

How dare you speak to another of this herd like that. She may not be offended but i am. Didn't your parents ever teach you manners? Well I don't care because you will learn, and learn the hard way. Keep this act up and you can leave...

He tossed his crown and his honey optics, once warm and caring, turned cold and harsh. He snapped at Ember, not to hurt her just as a sharp warning. He turned his elegantly arched boa back to Luna and his expression went back to the way it was before, happy.

I'm sorry for her behaviour, Please don't be offended...

ember

A grin goes across her face as she listens to the brute words, and feels the weak nip. She laughs. "You don't expect ME to beleive this. As for me leaving, there are plenty other palces than.." she looks around "this place of crap." She pinned her ears and nipped him, hard enough to draw blood. That wasn't even a move for her.

Luna Dreams

silver pistons moved the chassis of the goddess back a few paces as Vortex moved between her and Ember. She noticed how cold and harsh Vortex got then how warm and pleasent he was again. There was so much to this titan that intrigued her. Smiling as he spoke to her again she had been about to answer when Ember replied to the him. Sad, it was she had the honor of being in a lush meadow with a kind and considerate stag to protect her and she wasn't the least bit thankful. She now redirected her tones to Ember

|you should be thankful, Ember.|

Ember

The mare snorted as she replied. "Why should I be grateful? He has done nothing for me! Nothing! Give me three reasons why I should be grateful." Her expression was softer, but not soft.

Vortex

His expression didn't change, it was the same harsh, cold look. He nodded his head and spoke in a baritone, angry rumble.

One, You have a home.
Two, I took you when i first saw you thinking you'd be a good part of my herd.
Three, You would have had a herd that respected you and cared for you, But i think you just blew that one.

This is your last chance Ember, Please, don't blow it...

He didn't like to do that but the whole point was that Ember would get that she would be out if she didn't buck up her ideas.

Ember

The mare was statled when she heard his voice. She thought that he was gone. Just when she was about to speak, she felt a feeling, kind of like a tingle. She had felt it before. And she knew it too. It was a baby. Without saying anything, she galloped off. Her ears weren't laid back, and she knew that they would notice it. Her mind raced with thoughts as she entered a cave. Not a sould was in it, and it would be a great place to stay.

Vortex

His expression went to a curious, concerned manner. His ears pricked heavenward and he turned and bowed to Luna. She coudl follow if she wanted, but the monarch guessed she probably wouldn't. His appendages streached to their full potential as he propelled himself after the vixen. Why did he say that...Damn, he was stupid. Shaking his crown he remebered the task in hand and began to try and keep up with her. Her figure soon disappeared amidst the dense trees. He slowed and stopped. A cry was admitted to Luna to come to him. He lowered his boa and began to breathe heavily, his muscular sides heaving in and out. Her sudden run had taken him by surprise and he hadn't gotten himself in his usual fast pace run. Why was he so mean and ignorant. I'm sorry he whispered under his breath but he knew she wouldnt hear him. He stood and let out a sorryful cry to Ember before waiting to see if she would come back...

Farah-Inas

The mare galloped into the terra, which was where the stud she had met resided. Her ears were placed back in order to gain more speed so that she could reach her lead faster. Her bod elegantly raced to him after hearing a neigh. Dodging trees and large boulders, she finally spotted him, and slowed to a halt, her sides heaving with effort. Her nostrils flared as she raised her head and looked at him, another smile lighting up her joyful features.
"Hello, Vortex! I made it here." she said, bowing to him again before watching him.
"Who is it you are calling to? I am interested in meeting the ohers, if it's alright with you, m'lord." she said, tail flicking from side to side.

Vortex

His mind was flooded with bad, upsetting thoughts when he saw Farah-Inas appear, her elegant form approaching him. He smiled weakly, still trying to draw breath. He spoke in a baritone, gentle rumble.

'Lo M'lady. Safe journey i hope? I am calling another, new like yourself. Her name is Luna Dreams. I was chas...finding another mare that resides her, Ember...we had a slight disagreement...

He shook his crown before gazing into her optics again. He rasied his boa and stood up, breathing normally once more. Nodding to her her said...

Follow me.

His strong but slender towers carried his muscular bodice into the dencer foliage. Ducking and dodging, the titan let out another cry, to call both his mares to him, Ember and Luna. Where were they?

Ember

The mare was deadly silent. The cave was away from him, but not that much. She stepped back into the darkness. She couldn't make a sound. She heard him call and even heard him say it. Why was he sorry? It was her own f.ucking fault she was preagnant.

Vortex

'His mind was flooded with bad upsetting thoughts, but they soon faded away when he saw Farah-Inas appear.'

Luna Dreams

no luna did not follow Vortex in fact she picked upon her own graceful three beat pace the ebonite threads bellowing behind her within the squalls. She knew where Ember had gone. Although knew to the lands she had passed as small cave upon her arrival here. Moving through the dense trees her pace slowed back to four beater she moved to the entrance of the cave her towers picked upon Vortex's calls one to her and the other sadden to Ember. Looking to the the cave the shimmering banshee moved in. Ember was her herdmate and Luna would prove to the minx that she could be a firend no matter what. Low tones emitted to the minx.

|Ember? Its me Luna. Please don't be made I followed you here. I won't bother you long I just want you to know I want to be your friend we need to get along. Please Ember what troubles you?|

Her honey soaked vocals sounded calm and concerned hoping Ember would pick upon them and not attack her the silver vixen moved in closer hoping she had been right and this was were Ember was. After all wasn't that breathing faintly picking within her towers?

Ember

The mare was still deathly silent, even after the vixen's words. If only she knew... She screams out, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! NO ONE CARES WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME, AND THEY WILL NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER KNOW!"She gallops out of the cave, with a slow pace. She was geting bigger. She was getting tired form running with the wieght. She slows to canter, rushing by vortex. Oh, he would see her belly. Her only hope was for him to assume that the baby was his.

Luna Dreams

She felt the coldness and saddeness in the tones that screamed within her petite towers. She called after Ember not sure if she heard but hse said softly.

|I care Ember|

With that she moved back to Vortex her tiara lowered slightly as she sighed deeply. Moving to him she didn't notice the other vixen yet but she rested her tiara upon his shoulder relaxing nares expanding taking within his scents. then as her onyx pools opened she sense another and pulled back quickly away not wanting to seem overbearing.

Vortex

He was still breathing awkwardly when her hear shouting and then saw Ember running towards him. he did notice her belly, but knew that the foal wasn't his. He didn't scowl or get angry however, he simply called to Ember...

EMBER! EMBER COME BACK! PLEASE!

He continued to watch her figure disappear when he felt someone rest on his shoulder. Turning her cornw back, he saw it was Luna. He smiled...

Hello Luna...

He was about to introduce the new mare when she stepped away. he moved over to her and nipped her shoulder.

Luna, This is Farah-Inas.

He turned his head to Farah and smiled.

Farah, This is Luna Dreams, one of the mares of my growing herd. That other one you saw fly by is Ember...

he trailed off and looked out to where the vixen had disappeared with a worried, sad expression on his face...

Luna Dreams

the silver goddess smiled warmly to the new minx her tiara dipped to show respect then lift again her onyx orbs dancing like the stars happy to see another vix hoping this one was more open. She saw Vortex's sad expression and spoke to him softly.

|Go after her Vortex if you like. Me and Farah-Inas will stay here and chat. Its nice to metyou by the way, Farah-Inas|

Vortex

He listened to Lunas melody and nodded.

Please excuse me Ladies, I sahll be back shortly...Hopefully...

He smiled before taking off after ember on his strong, powerful towers. Seeing her figure in the distance the monarch sped up, his appeandages streaching to their full potential. He let out a sharp cry to Ember but continued to plummet on, cutting through the air like a knife. he could clearly see she was pregnant now...

Farah-Inas

Farah looked on as the first mare by the name of Ember came. She would have reacted with words if she hadn't gone by so quickly, though. With a light snort, her ears swiveled to face the sounds of the next mare coming, and she then bowed her own head down, wanting to show respect in every way she could. It wasn't in her nature to be harsh or rude; she was always happy and carefree. Very little things could anger her. She watched Luna, features showing joy as a smile spread across her mug once more. "Hello, Luna. As Vortex said, I am Farah-Inas. It's nice to meet you, as well. So, have you been here long?" she said in her regular, heavenly voice. She flicked her tail up and down before allowing her bod to rest in place, silent and motionless, as she felt the breeze comb her mane and tail.

Ember

She could've stopped at his words. She could've told them everything. She could've made fun of the new mare, at least. But she didn't. She kept going. She kept on going for a few kilomaters, then she stopped, exhausted. She lay down under in overhang of rocks. She looked up. There, above her, were little cave drawings. The ones she was looking at were litle stick figures(she guessed that they were) hunting little animals with tails and long manes. Horses. The very thought sent a chil down her spine. She waits to see if the fools, or Luna, followed her.

Vortex

The monarch did follow and stopped a few paces away from Ember. He did not approach her, mearly just spoke in a soft, kind tone, but he was slightly saddended at the fact that she didn't say anything to him...

Ember, I am not mad at you, Neither will i hurt your foal. Please, Just tell me what happened and we can put it behind us. Please...

His optics began to brim with tears but he bit them back. Why wouldn't she say anything, he could see she was in pain...Why would she just tell him...he wouldn't mind. He shook his dial and moved closer to her. He nuzzled her facade, his tassles covering part of his face. Heis gaze moved to her rounded barrel but moved back to Embers features.

Please Ember...Just tell me...

Luna Dreams

Luna did not follow Ember this time letting Vortex tend to her like he wanted to. Looking to the minx that spoke she was happy to have someone to talk to here now and a friend hopefully. Mae parted as she spoke to the mare.

[oh, I came just before you. I haven't been here long, but hte place is lovely.]

Farah-Inas

Farah smiled warmly at Luna, even though there really wasn't much of a need to. But she was excited greatly at having a home-- and new friends to go along with it. She didn't know about the other mare, though... Something seemed incorrect about her, whatever it was. Farah just didn't quite like her, yet. She didn't know if she ever would either, but right now she would just have to deal with the one question swimming in her head. She looked at Luna again, forelock blowing over to reveal strikingly dark but beautiful and young optics.
"Ahh, I see... And this place is indeed beautiful... I immedietly started liking it. Anyway, I am rather new to the valley. I didn't know I would get a home so fast... It's great." she said, tail flicking up and down now as she began to get a bit restless. Her body was slender and fit from galloping, which was something she simply loved to do. Ears swiveled quickly as she heard a new voice, from an unknown mare.
"It seems someone else is here right now. I hear a new voice." she then said, head turning to look in the direction the voice was coming from. She didn't make any intentions to go and look, for she didn't want to intterupt this nice little meeting without the other's clear 'approval'. She just stayed where she was and looked back to Luna, waiting patiently for a reply.

ember

The mare was already asleep when she heard the stallion's voice. She awoke wih a start, and sturggled to get up. When she finally did, she only said, "It's yours." She started to get down on the ground again, when she realized that it wasn't his! It was another stallion's. A cruel stallion that only let her escape if he bred her. That was a few days before she met Vortex. She didn't correct herself; maybe he wouldn't find out. Then she laid down, her legs giving way.

Vortex

He looked at her puzzled. It couldn't be his.

Ember, That can't be true. tis not my foal, Whos is it? I wont be mad, Just tell me.

He half-smiled, his facade confused and caring. He nudged her neck with his muzzle and smiled weakly.

Ember

The mare snorts. No way was she getting up. Her belly was bulging. She might as well tell him now, no need to lie and say that she was just fat. "Ok, a couple of days before I met you, I ran away from a stallion that would only let me go if he bred with me. So, here I am." Her eyes were blazing with truthfulness....

Vortex

The vagabond smiled, glad that she had told him the truth. Noddin slightly he nuzzled her.

You may keep the foal if you want and i shall treat it as my own. I do not mind if you do not want this and would rather it didn't have a father. It is your decition.

Ember

A snort was her reply. She got up and said, "Well, i will think about it. Just let me have the foal ALONE." She canters off. She finds a place in a cave. The coldness went down her spine. Winter was coming. Then she felt it. The foal ws pushing out. It was time. She laid down and went into labor.......
A few minutes later, she heard a soft whinny. It was her foal!! She got up and kissed her foal, giving it a scent. Her filly, a deep chestnut red, was strong. She could tell. She knew immeadiately what shhe would name her filly. Crimson. She muttered it to her filly in a soft, swet tone. The filly tried to stand. After a few tires, she stood, and clumsily walked over to her udder and drank, then stood by her mother. Ember walked out of the cave. Crimson stayed at her flank, following her mother closely. Ember called to everyone, letting the see her new filly.

Farah-Inas

The elegant strawberry roan mare galloped swiftly over the ground, after hearing Vortex's voice and a call. She slowed once she noticed the newborn foal, and she snorted lightly, bobbing her head up and down with pure excitement. "She's beautiful..." she said quietly, her forelock blowing out of her dark eyes so she could better see the oyung flicka. She looked around, wondering where Vortex was at.

Vortex

After hearing Embers call he immediately follwed it to the cave. There she was with the filly. Indeed she was beautiful. He lowered his crown so that his eyes were level with the flickas head and he said.

Welcome to the world little one...

He smiled before looking up to Ember.

Whats her name?

Ember&Crimson

The mare nuzzled Crimson as they approached. She didn't hear Farah, but she heard Vortex. "Her name is Crimson, for her color." She smirks. Crimson. What a beautiful name.
Crimson perks her ears up as a dark voice emitts. She whinnys at him in reply. Then she trots to the other side of her mother as her words are spoken. She nursed then stuck to her mother's side like glue.
