Rai | 1Y 2Mnths | Filly | Mentions: Open | Abequa
Strong legs strode purposefully through the grass, young muscles gracefully propelling the striking silver tinted blue roan through the herd. Six months had come and gone since the induction of a new chieftain, and the time could clearly be seen in the change that had overcome Rai. Though the young female still hand moments of clumsiness, for the most part that awkward stage of life had been replaced with relative independence, grace, and strength.

Unfortunately, but for the companionship of imaginary friends and mother, most of that time had been spent alone. Rai's half brother, Chatan, spent most of his time with Junebug...something that had come more understandable to Rai as she became older...there were bonds stronger than blood and it looked like Chatan and the spotted female were destined to have a relationship similar to that of Ajax and Onida. If the new leader would allow such an alliance...the inner politics of the herd were still confusing to the older filly especially since the expulsion of her father.

Perhaps she could gain some knowledge from Otekah? Or the white chieftain himself? Perhaps Ajax? Or Onida? All of those individuals, though, seemed to be busy...mother was always a good source of knowledge. Quite honestly Rai was getting tired of her unfortunate isolation from the herd...a burning desire to understand the goals, needs, and desires of each herd member...to talk to someone other than figments of her imagination, was encompassing the navy stained roan.

Trotting up to Abequa, onyx ears would perk forward, as Rai inquired after details of herd politics, and rules after grooming the older mare's shoulder. It would be the first step of understanding what Rai wanted for her future, and perhaps her first step in truly understanding others.

"I have found so much beauty in the Dark,
as I have found many horrors in the light."

Lux'noticus | 7 Yrs, 9 mnth | Cheiftan| Mentions: Otekah,|
Pale muscled frame would gallop after Otekah after only a slight hesitation...perhaps the stallion was too protective of his herd if their safety had the potential to pause romantic encounters. In the end though, the seductive scent trailing after the silver queen and her welcoming demeanor, was enough to lure the stallion away from his duties for a bit.

A spark would alight in the king's mismatched eyes, playful and lustful in demeanor, which would be displayed by Lux's further behavior. Lux'noticus would keep a close distance to Otekah brief appreciative nibbles placed upon her beautiful pelt whenever possible. To be sure that when this pleasurable encounter was finished the female would be practically squeaky clean after the two's encounter.

Any approach from the gentleman would be confident, yet watchful for any change of disposition in Otekah...for now her happiness would be the sole focus of the albino draft.

Redvelvet ~ Lone Mare ~ 6 years 6 months

Slow, heavy strides were taken by the blood bay equine, lurid eyes gazing at her surroundings as the sun beat down upon her red coat. The wind tugged upon her dark mane and tail and with it came its whispers and its stories. Red lumbered through the grasses, it tickling below her shoulder as she advanced forth, with each step her hips swayed slowly, muscles rippling as she soon captured the scent of other equines. The mare's ears perked, clearly interested as she pushed herself into a steady gallop, moving towards the scent, could this possibly be where she'd finally settle down? She wasn't sure, but she knew it would be better trying than to leave it and possibly regret it.

-
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
You saw her bathing on the roof,
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.

Otekah | Mare | 13 years | Pregnant | Queen
Mentions: Lux, Chatan (I), Ajax (I)

[Faded]

Wholly satisfied, Otekah stepped side-by-side with the herd stallion, close and affectionate. Her coat was cleansed of virtually any dirt and grime, removed gingerly by Lux's kind teeth and lips. In the paradise that was her fantasies, the baby she carried would, with her and its father's genes, become a prestigious and well-known equine, maybe even the successor to her or Lux's throne. But that was for the future. Right now, her thoughts returned to her daughter, swollen with foal and being doted on by the other heavily pregnant mares, all still carrying products of Atsila. It was unknown as to whether or not the Chief would still allow his predecessor's offspring to survive, but surely, it would do harm to the herd's morale. Chatan and Ajax were already done sparring, it seemed, little but a short test of strength and bravery.
