.Ruffienne.

Ruffienne trotted to her territory, ridden with fear and anxiety. She didn't know how to make this go. Immediately, Ruffienne called to Caleo, White Mist and her children. She knew Caleo, Aalayha and Nightlinger would take this the hardest.

Shattered Seraph and Typhoon came quickly. But Nightlinger was still off with Silver Stone.

Comet

Comet came with Ruffienne keeping step with her. The snakes shone out on Ruffienne and Comet's black coats. He waited for the herd members to show so Ruffienne could tell them. He stayed in brushing distance of Ruffienne so she could feel his comfort.

Jasmine, Dawn, White Mist, Melody, Coral, Angel, and Bello appeared as well. One thing that shown out was the foal that stood next to Coral. Yes this was the foal that she had by Jasper, and you could tell he was the father if you've ever seen him.

Caleo, Aalayha, Cherry

Caleo heard the call and immediatly responded but what he saw made him a bit fearful at what it was.Yes ruffiene?He spoke standing tall. Didn't they break ties with Comet Why was he here?May I ask why he is here? We broke ties with him so why is he with you?He spoke

Aalayha followed her father and listened.

Cherry and the others came

Nica and Dragoon came running to their mother.

.Ruffienne.

Ruffienne looked away, trying to think. "Caleo...I....I don't know how to tell you this. It just that..."

Typhoon spoke up. "You really love Comet, don't you mom?"

Ruffienne looked at Typhoon, her eyes wide. "H-how did you know?" Ruffienne burst, but the whole herd was already talking now. Ruffienne stepped near Comet, shaking. "I know you are shocked, perhaps angry and sad. But, it is no lie. I took Caleo as a mate because I couldn't have Comet. I was a lonesome mare who needed someone there to support me when I needed support."

"So we've been lied to?" Curlin spoke up.

"Perhaps, yes," Ruffienne replied. "And, now, I'm in foal to Comet. Something I might've preffered not to happen, but it did. I have chosen to leave South of Heaven and join Prairie Falls. My other conflicts will be resolved on my own. But, I will not leave here without any one who wishes to come."

Comet

Comet let Ruffienne do the talking. It was best he said nothing since he had no right here.

Dawn and Jasmine came over to Ruffienne's side silently. Coral was next to follow nudging her little filly forward. Melody and White Mist stayed where they we're. "I'm sorry Ruffienne, but we are staying here where Doyce has lived and died,"he said softly. Bello and Angel came forward to Ruffienne.

Caleo

Caleo stared and snorted and shook his dial.So you used me? It was all a lie? Then leave and don't come back, I'm probably better off without you anywaysHe was mad, angry and sad. I really loved you but it was all a lieHe spoke and then turned around and moved away.And comet if i ever ever see you I will kill you without hesitationHe spoke.

Aalayha shook her head.why mother? never mind don't answer, I'm leaving, I want to be with both of you but i can't be in two places at once, So I will start my own herd away from both of you!She cried out tears running down her face. She had always been emotional and now she didn't know what to do or where she was going. She loved her mother ad she loved her father and now this.She knew Barbaro would follow her.

Cherry side.I am sorry Ruffiene but I will stay with my brother especially since you used himShe spoke with a shake of her dial she too turned to follow her brother.

Ulayha watched her mother.You hurt my mommyShe screamed at her grandmother before following suit after her mother and or barbaro

Nica and dragoon moved to their mother.

.Ruffienne.

"Please, don't yell at me," Ruffienne whispered, looking at Comet. "Take whoever wants to come with me home. I really need to get away. I'll be at Praire Falls."

Barbaro looked at Aalayha, but followed.

Curlin took a step towards Cherry. Caleo had been the one to set him free, not Ruffienne.

Comet

Comet was silent as he heard Caleo. He could understand the other stallion's pain which is why he didn't say anything back. He heard Ruffienne, and nuzzled her once before letting her go back to the terra. "Anyone else comming,"he asked looking once more before he would lead the ones that wanted to come back.

Coral and the others waited silently to see if anyone else would join them.

Caleo

Caleo walked a good distance away and lied down. How could she do this to him?His eyes were shut.

Cherry looked back to curlin and slightly smiled before touching her muzzle to her brothers back in a loving manner.

Nica and Dragoon would follow. Its not like they had ties to Caleo though they did feel for him.

Comet

Comet nodded his head to the members by him. "Lets go home,"he spoke to them warmly before leading them out.

Dawn and the others followed silently.

Melody and White Mist went over to Caleo to give comfort and show that they wouldn't leave.

.Nightlinger.

Nightlinger approached Caleo, not noticing the huge conflict. "Wh-what happened?" She asked, Emb had fluttered down and perched on her poll.

Caleo

Caleo looked up at his daughter.Your mother used me for comfort, She loves comet and she has left to live with himHe spoke looking back at the ground. Would Nightlinger leave him too? Would none of his two children stay with him? Aalayha was gone so now would Nightlinger go? He felt the others around him but at the moment could not bring himself to stand.

.Nightlinger.

Nightlinger blinked, shaking her head. "I...I don't know what to do." Nightlinger replied, turning away. "Just leave me alone for a while."

Caleo

He looked to her.alrightWAs all he said before dozing off to think and rest.

Cherry sighed and placed her dial on Curlin's back
