Shaded Moon

Shaded Moon had secured himself a future foal with the gorgeous Xenarona, and that had been his primary goal. Feeling a little more gutsy now, and with Onok and Harth still having their terse conversation some distance away, Shaded decided to go for gold.

"This is no place for you, mare. Too many trees, the land's too sloping - you'll like my land better." He gave Xena a nip, trying to force her to get moving towards the mountains. If he could just get her over the crest, he'd have a good shot at harrying her back to the prairie...

Xena

She snorted at him. Not Happy what so ever. this land is better and safer then that place She snorted. She made to cow kick him.

Shaded Moon

Having already been victim to the cow kick once, Shaded Moon had wised up to the mare's tricks and pulled back with a harsh snort to avoid this strike this time around, "You need to learn some manners." The stallion snaked his head forward again, snapping at her flank with a little more force.

Brennik

Now that he was left with only one brother, Brennik was more alert than ever. He'd drifted a short ways from his mother, feeling the need to locate and check on Loki when his brown ears perked at the sound of an unfamiliar snort. The young stallion paused and turned his head, dark eyes darting about the meadow before he saw a dark form assailing Xenarona.

'The stallion from the prairie!' Brennik realized, and without thinking he called out for Loki before barrelling towards the intruder. "Hey, you!" The yearling trumpetted with ears pinned back and tail streaming high behind him, "You're not welcome here!"

Xena

his teeth made purchase and she snorted and her ears went flat back. I am lead mare I give the manners and respect to those who deserve it and you are far from deservingSHe said and now turned and reared back throwing her front hooves for his face.

Loki joined his brother.

Shaded Moon

"As the lead stallion, I will show you want respe-" A trumpeting scream cut the stallion off, just as he was getting ready to snap again at Xena's face and try to force her into running. He turned his head, and saw not Onok nor Harth, but two yearlings streaming his way. Shit...!

The distraction was enough for Xenarona to land a solid strike to his muzzle, one that would give him a sizable lump for a few uncomfortable days. Grunting, Shaded staggered back and swung around, briefly readying himself to fend off these two youngsters. But with the sound of the older stallions fighting nearby, and knowing that this feisty mare was more than willing to battle him too, Shaded new he had to cut his losses. He thrust his dark hooves into the ground and barreled forward, beating a hasty retreat from the territory.

Brennik

Brennik chased after Shaded Grace for a few hundred yards without making the effort to actually catch up and physically engage with the stronger stallion. Once he was satisfied that the intruder was not going near his mom and seemed to be genuinely leaving the area, Brennik turned back around and trotted to his lead mare.

"Xenarona, are you okay?" He asked breathlessly, clouds of fog hanging in the air after each deep breath he took to recover from the vigorous run. "I should have been paying more attention, I'm sorry."
