Lakota

The wind was cold, turning in sharp directions every which way. No leaves hung in the trees, for winter was almost here. In the distance, a dark chestnut figure emerges from the trees, swinging her head back and forth rhythmically. She moves closer towards the valley, cautiously peeking about. There was nothing in sight. No living creature could be seen. But wait... She lifted her muzzle to the sky and pulled back her top lip to smell deeply. Ah, as she thought. There was a faint scent of a horse. Or could there be more? She couldn't tell unless she dwelled farther into the territory, but she didn't want to intrude on a stallion's terra, for who knows what may happen. So she halted and just stood, flicking her tail form side to side, wondering if her sense of smell was telling her the truth.

Starlight

The lord of this Terra was deep in the center of the land. His nares picked up the unfimiliar scent of the fae. He signaled with his tail for his herd to stay in case of danger. He started out for the border of His land. His daggers pounded on the ground as he trotted strongly along. Quickly he changed into a free-moving gallop. His mane flew swiftly behind him and his daggers pounded fast on the soft earth. He followed the scent of the fae. Soon enough he skidded to a halt infront of the fae. "Who are you?" He asked. Not in a strong, demanding tone, but in a soft, understanding one. He awaited an answer quietly.

Lakota

The wind whispers in the dove's lobes as she pricks them forward to inspect the noise that was coming forth to her lonely figure. Quickly an equine could be made out...a stallion. She becaome wary and took a couple steps back as he came rushing out of the forest. She whipped her tail back and forth and lowered her head with her ears back, being very cautious. When gentle words came from his throat, she felt a little more calm, but not enough to take back the steps she had took. Lobes prick forward, wondering if his question should be answered. It could change the rest of her life, whether it be good or bad. Lakota decided to take her chances, because it just might land her in a home. Her vocals came out a little shaky, but good enough to hear. "My name is Lakota, good sir. I am sorry to stumble in your home and disturb you, for I could not tell at first if it was owned recently. I am just trying to find a home, so I don't have to be a wandering soul the rest of my life." Her voice seemed to grow a little stronger by the end of her speech. She made to turn away, but then thought it rude to not see what the brute had to say. So she stayed with her head bowed for respect for the stallion.

Starlight

He smiled but was still alert. His lobes were pricked forward. A cool breeze lifted up his mane and spread apart. His forelock blew aside and his star was visible. His breathing was soft, no horse would hear it. Finally, he spoke:
"Hello Lakota, I am Starlight, king of these lands. You may join, but you will not be considered a full member of the herd until you have proven trustworthy and loyal."
His eyes rested on the fae. His eyes were soft and understanding. Starlight was a young and kind stallion. He waited silently for her answer. The only noise was his breathing and the faint cry of some crows. He smiled again. The meadow grass swayed slowly in the quiet wind. The grass slowly laid itself upon Star's strong legs, and then the other way. His nares were alert for any sing of danger. He glanced up at the neverending sky and then back down again.

Lakota

A crow cawed above them and then took off from the tree. It swooped in the air, landed gracefully on another tree. Lakota watched this flight until the stallion stated his name. She bowed her head just slightly to achknowledge his name and his commands. A small smile could be seen for her gratefulness. "Thank you, eversomuch, good Starlight. I promise you, I will not let you down." The wind picked up the grass a bit, then curled it back down around the horse's hooves. The sun was just barely out, but very dull. Winter would soon be coming, and her thick coat would soon be growing in. The dark chestnut Andalusian quietly waited, yet still alert and observative of any movement that was made.

Starlight

He smiled but did not speak yet. He flicked his tail as a sign to follow him. The crow now landed on a nearby bush. He hated crows, they are always watching. He trotted through the tall meadow. The winds made the grass sway in one direction and then the next. His daggers pounded softly on the ground as he made a hardly noticeable trail for his new fae. Starlight's lobes were pricked forward. His mane flowed slowly behind his elegant neck. His forelock was brushed aside easily by the breeze. His star was very noticeable and bold. That was the reason they dubbed him Starlight. He changed smoothly into a medium canter. Starlight soon reached the center of the TT. He slowed to a trot, then a walk, and finally a halt. He turned to her and gazed at Lakota with soft eyes.
" I know you nust be grateful for being accepted into the herd, but I am too equally grateful. I want you to meet another herd member, Moonfire. " He said. Starlight let out a long whinny, calling the mare.

Lakota

The mare followed the croaw with her soft brown eyes. She watched as it landed on a nearby bush. Then suddenly she heard hoofbeats going away, and realized that the stallion was leaving. She quickly jumped into a swift trot, her mane bouncing with the same rhythm as her hooves. Lakota followed Starlight through his terra. It was beautiful indeed. The trees were bare and crisp for the coming of Winter. It was beautiful. As Starlight moved into a swift canter, too, picked up the beat to follow him side-by-side. She smiled. She forgot how much fun it was running with a horse, for she hadn't done it ever since she was a young filly. She was loving every minute of it. The young fae dipped her head to feel the wind brush more of her mane. Lakota saw him starting to slow down, so she slowed also. The fae slowed a bit quicker, going from a trot to a halt right beside him. Lobes pricked up as his vocals came forth once again. She nodded and smiled, waiting for the other member dubbed Moonfire.

Starlight

He too loved running beside another horse. You were as free as a bird.
