CHAOS

You could spill a thousand words and none could mean a thing.

So I had returned from my little adventure... coming back with a small prize, and the victory of winning the battle against the golden stallion, Andrae. I didn't think it was much of a fight, more of a child friendly scrap; although, his attacks had wounded me. Bruised ribs made walking painful, and scraped lungs making breathing almost impossible. However, i knew this would soon pass, anyway, what did i have to worry about?

My jaw was clutching a small ball like object, and as i crossed the border of Hollow Woods, i slowed immediatly to a walk, even trotting was somewhat painful. It didn't take me long to reach my favourite place..a place where i had neglected for some time. It had been ages since i was last here. The sound of the crashing waterfall in the distance, the sound of a light breeze whipping at the tops of the trees, and the trickle of the stream next to me seemed to calm my mood. Dropping my cranium to the floor; i gently opened my jaws, and out rolled the eye of Andrae. Still in perfect condition, although, its former owner, was in a much worse state than I.

I glanced down at the optic and a sly smirk spread itself across my jawline. What an absolute idiot...thinking he could come up and challenge me for my princess, the heiress, Lilith. However, i wasn't afraid to admit that the idiotic child had guts. Shaking my skull and glancing across the stream, i turned my carcass around and drank, the cold liquid was somewhat soothing to the bruising on my ribs as it ran through my body. I lifted my skull, water droplets dripping off my muzzle end, and onto the eyeball at my feet.

Neck was arched and tail slightly kinked; with a loud command, my kissers parted, strong, yet demanding vocals screamed throughout the terrian. "All that reside; come to meet at once!" It bounced around the area i was in, but i knew my call would of been heard by everyone in Hollow woods. I had some important news to give, aswel as just seeing my mares, whom i hadn't had much to do with recently. After Lyrics death, i had become slightly subdued and kept myself to myself, only calling for them when i needed something, but now, it would all change.

INTREPID

I hear them calling king.

Perhaps it was best for me to stay here, in Hollow Woods...rather than go off looking for mares or companions: now i was getting older, my Bipolar fits were becoming more intense and often, it wasn't really too safe for me to roam around the shared lands as i lost control of my mind. Each time, i found it related back to Phoenix and somehow; Riku. He seemed to be the main creator of my hallucinations.

I stood silent and watched a pair of crows pick at a rotting wolf carcass, thinking through my life, recent conversations with my father. We never really spoke when there was others around; our conversations were private and secluded. And my mother? I hadn't seen her in so long, i missed both her and Emira greatly...A soft sigh escaped my grey stained kissers and i looked away from the crows; jolting my skull up and pricking my audits forward when my father's rumble came across the land. Instantly, my mood changed and a sly smirk spread across my jaw line.

Picking up an easy three beat pace, neck arched and tail kinked high into the air. My black optics streaked with silver as the dull light caught them. Soon, he came into veiw and i slowed, dipping my skull and giving him a firm nod, kissers parting in a short greeting. " 'Lo father.." Was all that came out, before i stood silent by his side, surveying the eyeball and taking int he scent of his blood. This, i knew nothing about, but if it was important, he would tell us all.

BLIZZARD

All eyes on me.

My red tinted frame moved with ease over the lands of my father. For the past six months, i had hardly stopped to talk to anyone..i'd met some members of the herd, but not all. So when my fathers shrill call hit my darker tinted audits, i let out a squeal of delight. Finally i would get to meet the herd. My optics were set infront of me; i knew where my father was, i now new every nook and cranny of the place, it had paid off greatly; now i knew where the others would be coming from.

Soon enough, my father came into sight and i slowed from my bouncy two beat pace to a flowing walk; keeping my harks perked forward, stepping over the broken logs and twigs without making a single noise. For now, i wanted to remain hidden; i wanted to watch the others arrive before i showed myself. I was stubborn, more like my father than my sweet natured mother. Oh how i looked forward to seeing her! I loved her greatly, and was happy for she wasn't just a common mare; fair enough, i still wasn't the princess; but things could change, couldn't they?

My breathing became shallow and almost un-noticable as my optics drifted to my father; he had obviously been in a fight, and by the look of the stray eyeball on the floor; he had won, yet he still looked sore and injured. It would serve him right; he should plan his moves better! I let a happy grin spread across my jaw line as my nares extended to bring in the scent of others who would be arriving shortly.

Droja

I stood in the foggy forest, my painted pelt blended with the shadows dancing over me. But I wasn't here along, I was with my daughter Anna Lee. I was talking to her about life and giving her some lessons on fighting. Indeed she was a little young, but its something that takes time and she needed to learn when she was younger. After getting the listen done for the day I made my way down a small path. My copper lanterns scans the land while I seen white bones laid out upon the earth. I let a smirk form upon my painted mug while I began to think to myself. Damn fools shouldn't have stepped into Hollow Woods.

Moving along, something caught my eardrums. I came to a halt while I heard a scream roar through out the land calling all who lived in this hell hole to step forth. I knew the voice wasn't Intrepid, but another voice I never heard before. Then it hit me, who it was. It was Chaos, Intrepid's father. I began to ease through the maze of timbers, not making a sound. I then look back toward Anna Lee to see was she coming. I then began to speak toward her. Try never to back a sound while you are moving through the woods dear. It might cause you your life one day.

Then I was there after a few short minutes. I seen the blood red stallion, this must be Chaos. The I notice Intrepid standing there. I moved my way toward his side. My copper lanterns on the blood red brute Chaos. I the nodded my cerebrum toward him to show atleast a little of respect. I then began to speak toward him. Hello there Chaos, I'm Droja. I then let a smirk form. I didn't need Intrepid to speak for me. I had a tongue and I would do it myself. I then notice his fresh wounds that laid upon his flesh. I wanted to fight just by seeing his flesh, the dry blood. This all made me happy. I then began to let my sentinels flickers to listen why we was here.

Anna Lee
I listen to my mothers lesson that she was teaching me. I was starting to know alot about this dark word I lived in. I was learning how to fight and hold my on ground. Which I was thankful for the lessons. I wanted to show my father what I learn. Then after eeverything was done we was following down the path. I heard the same call my mother heard. I tossed my tiny painted cerebrum in the air and began to follow my mother. I then heard her the words that she spoke toward me. I then nodded to let her know that I heard the words. I then try to walk in silent, like a stalking lion. But I couldn't. I stepped on a few twigs and hearing the snap under my weight, giving up both positions of me and my mother. But I knew this was just another lesson to learn.

The others came into my view. It was just another brute and my father and now me and my mother. I watched how my mother took her place next to my father. I then came to the other side of my father and brushed him slightly with my flesh touching his front limbs. I then stood infront of my mother. My tiny copper lanterns looks up to the brute. Was this my grandfather? I wasn't sure who he was. I then began to take a step toward him, I couldn't help it. I wanted to know who he was. I seen the dark patches of dry blood on him. I wanted to lick the blood off him. I don't know why I was drawed to the blood. With a smirk I turn back toward my father, while I wiggled my way inbetween my mother and him. Waiting and wondering why we was here.

[unknown]

I reared up as lustra played with wolf cubs. He was practising his killing techniques, again. I was so proud of him, watching him practice made me so... I don't know. I sighed as I heard Chaos shout from near afar. I looked and whickered at the almost adult colt and we made our way towards a small huddled. Lustra went ahead and gasped as he saw his sire. I too gasped when I saw him. I approached and snorted. What has happened to you? I said, spotting Blizzard and motioning her closer to me. I whickered to myself and watched everyone arrive.

[azul.]

HAYIRAL
I love to dance, yeah, everybody calls me dancing queen.

Ho-ho, guess she came to big brother's realm at a bad time. Lips lifted in a faint sneer - the attention wasn't on her, and damn it, it should be! Then again, she supposed big brother's princess was whisked away, or something of the matter; you could admit, that was important, to a degree, so Hayiral couldn't complain. Radars were erect, pointing skywards, elegant limbs strutting lightly above the dusted terrain, still getting accustomed to the new land. However, she clung to my parent's teachings; Hayiral moved so silently, delicately perhaps, until she was deep within the realm's pit. Dished facade slipped sideways with a sharp motion, catching the call - his call. The voice was so deep sounding, but the shrill tone was odd. Obviously, the king was back. Facade lifted, tender jugular reveal, pink rimmed maw opening, lilting scream echoing from the fatale, matching her brother's intensity - she'd be there soon.

Limbs set off in a silent lope that lasted until she sensed the gathering to her left. Petite build veered off slightly, radars snapping forward, smirk curling the edges of her rosy hued lips - oh dear, this might be fun. Ebonite optics immediately caught sight of three smaller figures, gaze lingering over them, then towards the gray brute that was next to big brother. ''Lo father.' Then, she noticed Chaos' condition; the reaction to his wounds set a fit of giggles rumbling through her slender bodice. Crown tipped at an angle ever so slightly, optics flashing, words spilled from deep within her throat, lilting tone holding a dash of sarcasm - something you could come to expect. "Oh, big brother; you've already softened up, haven't you?" Soft smirk rested upon Hayiral's facade, the fatale swinging in next to her equal brother, ivorns reaching out to nap at the blood's hard jaw line, dark optics twisting downwards to stare at the gray brute - who resembled Chaos in so many ways. She studied the colt intently, lips curling back to speak, words menacing. "I'm assuming you're the dipstick's son?" Words were snatched out, optics twisting to the rest of the herd, one optic lifting slightly, amused.

Amethea

The old wise owl was lying down in the strange but peaceful cave she had found while she had been exploring around Hollow Woods. While her dark colored orbs watched as a little animal came down by the entrance of her cave, despite Amethea still being a light it was not that very obvious unless you had met her before, because she did not give away which side she was on. This old fae was actually quite happy in Hollow Woods. As her black colored auds pricked forward listening to movements upon the ground, Amethea was glad that her coat was a beautiful blue roan, very strangely blended in with the dark cave.

As her black pillars moved her up and out of the dark cave, she then lowered her black crown down towards the cool water, as the blue roan lady then heard a call that she had herd before, So I was going to me the others for the first time eh? shaking her dark black colored crown which caused her ebony mane to flick against each side of her light bluish colored neck.

Turning her blue roan mustang body around towards where her lead king was calling from, slowing her pace from a lovely two beat across the land towards a lovely slow walk. As my dark colored orbs looked around me I saw a few horses around, and one on top of the hill who I knew was the leader of the herd, I had only seen and met another horse of this herd, and they where the king Chaos and the mare called Anntho. I just on the outside away from the rest of the group that had came so far, while waiting to see how many where in the king’s herd.

[`anntho]

`anntho
;;what's the word?::

My ears came about at the sound of the king calling to the others, summoning them forward. Should I show up this time? Hadn't I gathered enough accumulated brownie points to miss one of the meetings. Glancing sideways I noticed the oddly coloured spawn of Chaos's go on by, it was Intrepid no doubt, and he had a little tag along at his side. So Intrepid was showing up? This had to be big. Slinking forward I brushed away bothersome bracken with my muzzle. Silently I continued on, gliding through the woods without a noise was my specialty, and I was proving said skill time and time again. I rather liked the fact that I could sneak around and know everything, anywhere.

The thoughts brought a smirk to my lips as I paused to glance out onto the grouping, Chaos, battlescarred and wounded. Intrepid, insane and getting worse. Then little Blizzard who seemed to like testing my nerves, but the others I wasn't to sure about until I noticed another fimilar. Sending a nod to Eris as I stepped from the cover, I noticed yet another fimilar coming forward, it was Thea's first meeting, she would be introduced as an elder, the Grammy of Hollow Woods as I liked to call her in my own mind and when I went on a bout of small teasings, but all in all, she wasn't a bad mare to keep around the joint.

I continued my approach, pausing only when I was at Chaos's side, having come up behind Blizzard, giving her a light nip on the hindquarters, and then looking back up to the chestnut brute, eyeing his wounds, then the other mare who had called him brother, jeez, did they look alike, almost too much for their own good. Still I did not speak I remained quiet, reaching out at one point with my muzzle to lick at a dried wound on his ribs, being rather gentle about it. Today was a rather good day for me, I had yet to be bothered or snapped at by an adult, and the little children were doing well to give me a girth. The only thing that could ruin this was for me to be banished, as if it would happen at all, but when it did, ohh, that would be a fun day.

Snickering under my breath I gave a breif look around as more of his spawn and herd appeared from the forestry. Most of his children where getting up in their years, ready to leave at anytime, but only a few had ever left, making this place one of the many lands that kept family together. My shoulders rolled forward into a relaxed posture and I reached my muzzle out again to lick at another one of his wounds, pulling my head back breifly and turning to look at Intrepid, giving him a nod and the young grey mare who had come in late, a bemused look, watching her posture turn aggressive quickly, that made me chuckle.

N_ox::
lookie here...

The dreams continued to envelope me, giving my chestnut coat a darker, damp look the base of my neck, right atop my withers. I dreamed I was in a dessert, my father and another chestnut mare at his side, both looking at me with a deep, deep stare, as if trying to connet to my inner-workings, and they had almost suceeded until something roused me, making me flap around like a fish out of water, working my way up to a stand and give a massive shake, clearing away the darkened spot slightly. I would leave the rest of the drying up to the wind.

The last of the grumbling call had died away and I glanced around, as if to make sure that Father wasn't standing right their beside me, laughing and calling the others to watch me in my pityful attempts to keep my thoughts thats just that. Mine. But no, he wasn't standing anywhere near me, which made me groan, he could of atleast come abit closer, then I wouldn't of had to of run so far or so fast to reach him. Giving one last final glance back I bolted forward, feeling the wind run through my coat, drying anymore dark sweat spots I had collected in the nightmare. I had to be presentable to Father, this meeting must of been important or he wouldn't of called everyone with such a loud voice.

Barreling through the last remains of the woods I pulled myself together and jogged forward the remaining distance, neck arched in a fashion only arabian's could, making sure to have my muzzle bumping against my chest with a few steps, I had yet to make Father proud, and maybe being proud of my bloodlines and heritage would accomplish such things, or I could try being so bitter about him having found me and enjoyed the time I had with him. He was getting up in his years and soon he would pass on from either old age or a younger stallion beating him down from his throne, but that was unlikely to happen with my half-brother Intrepid in line. He most likely would fight with his life to keep this place and everybody in it safe, or else our sire wouldn't of choosen him as the next king, but that was just my reasoning and I could be completely wrong, who ever knew anymore.

Reaching the small crowd I brought my muzzle out and settled with kinking my tail, swatting at mosquitos that decided to land upon my fleash, hoping for a quick drink. Hello Father, Intrepid. I greeted each of the brutes in a voice much different from my normal shy, timid tone. Daddy was always telling me to speak up, and so I did. This time, my voice carried an air of confidence, not to overbearing, but not to weak either. I was still determined to prove my worth to him and show that I could be as dark as he, and have a wrath just as great when the need arrised. Another flash of chesnut caught my attention and I looked towards it, finding the mare who looked exactly like my sire and I, oh goody, this must of been one of my realtives, and then it suddenly hit me. This must of been my sire's sister the birds had been whispering about, which made her my aunt. A sly look spread across my features and I pivoted to her next. Hello Aunty Hay I chided to her in an innocent voice, shortening her name for my own gain in the long run.

comment;; x3 Nox does! Nox loves her Aunty Hay.

[/size][/right]

`e.C.ho

A gruff left me as I fallowed the almost white brute out from the wooded area, having caught up with him almost at once of hearing the call. Personally, I didn't want to meet his Dad alone, with the only explainatin being Your son brought me home, I doubted my chances of survival would of been great then. As his gait increased I gave a small roar of distaste and sprung after him, my shorter strides making me fall behind. Some day I'd get taller and be as fast as him, but today, wasn't my day. His figure faded in the distance and I slowed to an aggitated march, pressing through the growth with unneeded noise, something my Mother had always taught against, but I didn't care, I would be as loud as I wanted for as long as I wanted, this was my rage day, and I wanted it more than anything else, it would help soothe my nerves between this day and the next rage day I would have.

Breaking out of the tree line I spotted the brute strewed alongside three chestnuts horses, one dark grey and then Droja and her little baby. Taking another look it turned out their were two more spawn and yet another mare gathered in the crowed. There was only one thing that I could do in a time like this. My body froze and I toddled forward on stiff legs, pausing about every four steps and bobbing my head lightly, taking in scents and storing them for later use. Another four steps and I bobbed my head yet again, this time watching their body postures, they all seemed to have their attention trained on the chestnut stallion, that must of been Chaos. Good, I wasn't being noticed. My legs relaxed and I picked up a sluggish jog, keeping my movements breif and indiscreet, winding around to place myself near Intrepid, as close as I could get with the other two being on his opposite sides, so I ended up standing behind him, which was fine with me, his fully mature body could hide my little two year old frame for the whole meeting and I'd be just fine with that.

Taking the chance to give another glance around I made a face at the three identical chestnuts, they had to be related somehow, and then I found out how as she spoke. The oldest female and Chaos were siblings, then the youngest female was Chaos's spawn. That sorta made sense, but where was her mother, the little filly behind the grey mare and the prancing colt's Mother were here. Why wasn't the yearling mares? Shaking away the thoughts my blood ran cold as I turned my face around to see the gray mare looking at me with a look between amusement and smugness, more amusement then anything in the world. Was she laughing at me? I think she was. My ears flipped back and every muscle in my mix breed body tense, my expression was even mean. Jezz, how could that mare be so rude to me, but nobody else.

comment;; xp poor poor echo. anyways, sorry for the rambling guys.

{ LILITH

- Nothing can touch me

Bloody pillars danced across the ground always in perfect symmetri. Beneath the bay skin hard muscles twisted and turned to keep up with the taunting strides, her dance was forever – always flawless and graceful, there would never be an equal to match. The silence was overwhelming – the birds and mammals had fled long ago, her steps were feared, awaited, you didn’t stick around when this bloody priestess came by to check up. From a distance a rough call was ripped from a dry throat and immediately the red princess stopped to listen – her slender auds slowly turning in the direction of the sound, who dared to interrupt her daily dance? Yet soon enough a blinding smile spread upon her blood tainted kissers as she realized just who the taunting call belonged to. Pale lips parted as a shrill answer found its way from her muscular chest – soon after the banshee turned and jumped into her flawless dance yet again, she took her time; after all she was royal and therefore was allowed to take her time to arrive. The scene which the young succubus arrived to was, embarrassing, to put it mildly – I mean come on, since when had a herd of darks started to cluster up and become all intimate? From her round nostrils a disappointed snort was released.

Bay poles slowed her pace as she neared her precious father – sliding her full body against his powerful chest much like a cat would do to its owner, then the princess slowly moved on to her brother, placing a playful nip upon his sensitive throat. “Where’s mother?” The question slid from her mouth like sweet sugar; this female was built to seduce and charm – yet don’t let her soft satin skin fool you, this little lady was a true assassin in disguise. Born out of Lakita and Chaos she inherited the best of them; her mother’s determined mind, beauty and icy personality and her daddy’s muscular body and powerful attacks, there wasn’t any way that the dices could have rolled better. Dark orbs shifted to stare directly at the bay mare standing at my father’s side. Slowly her maw parted to flash her pearly teeth as she stared directly into the elder mare’s eyes. “- and you must be my old aunt then” Lyrics were arrogant yet curious, the bay princess had never heard her father speak of his sister and yet here she stood towering above everyone. Lilith was immediately impressed by Hayiral’s stance – her expression, her way of speech and at last but not least her aunt’s looks; sure the bay princess wouldn’t ever see anyone as pretty as herself, but this mare was close – very close indeed, but truth to be told the young heiress wasn’t bothered, the mare was simply too old to compete. The wind shifted and circled the clearing a couple of times before vanishing again, the only movement Lilith ever made was to flex her muscles slightly as she let her gaze slide on to the other equines.

[lynx'']

CHAOS

You could spill a thousand words and none could mean a thing.

I shifted slightly, becoming a little impatient waiting for the herd members to arrive. A low, yet somewhat soft snort came from my flared nostrils and i looked at each of the equines standing infront of me. First came a duo painted amre and her filly. It didn't take me long to work out who the pair were, even though i hadn't met them before. Her lyrics sounded sliced and a sly smirk was spread across my jaw line as i gave a quick yet firm nod to her, further, glancing down at the young, toned filly. "Ah Droja and Anna Lee..'tis a pleasure." Words were slightly murmered and i studied her, if she were to be queen of Hollow Woods, i wanted her to have my approval, it wasn't that i doubted Intrepid as king, but i wanted the royals to be a strong family.

Hearing some action not too far off, i twisted my bloody skull around glance at who would be next at arriving, and i wasn't suprised to see Eris and Lustra, she was always on her toes, such a loyal mare, and still; yet to let me down even once. A low nicker of hello was released to her and a slow frown furrowed into my face as Lustra gasped, when the blackened mare spoke, i let my words roll off my tongue in a slightly amused manner. "He came off worse, Eris. Nothing to worry about, just a few scratches.." I cackled slightly and tossed my skull to indicate to the stray eyeball that still waited at my hooves, i lifted my left foreleg, and ever so gently touched the ball, playing with it like a kitten would with a ball of string. "How are you both? ... Been practicing your skills, so i see, son." I motioned to him, giving him a friendly nip on the shoulder.

Cranium was snatched to the right and harks pointed in the direction an almost matching call could be heard. I rolled my optics and let a low growl escape my muzzle. Yes, it was amazing to have Hayrial back where she belonged once more, but boy could she be high maintenance. I stood silent, optics glued to the point where i guessed she would come through. It wasn't long before her slightly lighter shaded carcass carried itself elegantly through the clearing and i sent her a flashy grin, nostrils quivering. Her words stung out into the clearing and i matched her sarcasm in a evil cackle. "Hardly; sister." I mimicked in a similar tone, snatching my head away as she reached out with her pearly whites, dipping my skull under hers to reach at her tender throat. Making sure, my precious gem was neatly tucked and protected within my legs.

I followed Blizzards gaze to Amethea, who had stopped short of the gathering, i shook my skull. "Come forward Amethea." I stated clearly, making sure to let my gaze linger on the others, wanting to see Hayrials reaction. It was normally her that went up to others, not the other way around..however, my gazing was cut short as i felt a hot breath upno my back, i shifted left slightly, scenting Anntho before seeing her slowly appear close to me, licking at a wound on my ribs. I gave a low, fustrated grunt and my skin twitched, eager to be away from her salty saliva. "Greetings Anntho. How're things?" I turned to look at her, i couldn't help but be glad that i was in control of her, she was a mare in my herd, and i was glad it was no other way.

Shortly after Anntho's arrival, came Nox, her blurred coat caught my eye, and a soft frown came to my cranium, she had yet to find a home, she needed one, she needed out of here. If it was one thing i didn't do..it was go back on a promise, and i had promised her mother to keep her free of the dark life. So now, there was little connection between us, and i found myself wondering if there would be any chance of her leaving to find some place better, for her mothers sake. However, my attention was soon disrupted as a dappled filly came close by. With a low grunt I started forward to attack the intruder, mare or not, she had no permission to be here. However, as i went to dart froward, i was suprised to feel Intrepid barge infront of my, harks twisted back, a threat to me.. I gave a grunt and backed up, this one was obviously looking for my son.

Lilith soon arrived and i stepped forward to greet her, i was suprised she had made it before her mother, but prehaps the firey queen was elsewhere caring for the abondoned Usha. It was understandable, and i thought the pair to come close, being in similar situations. " 'Lo there Lilith; where is Fenrir?" I asked smirked and placing a firm bite on her back as she brushed past me. Shortly after she had settled, a low grunt came from my throat as i cleared it to speak "It seems that a few are missing, but i'm sure they can catch up..I've called this meeting today for a serious matter. I shall be passing the throne down to my son, Intrepid from this day on. Of course, i will always be around if any of you wish to speak to me. But do not doubt Intrepid, he shall be a better knig than myself, stronger, younger, and even prehaps wiser. Respect him as you would respect me, if not, there shall be punishment." I propelled the words out clearly, making sure to catch everyone's eyes.

INTREPID

I hear them calling king.

Harks pricked forward as i heard twigs snap in the near distance, and i took a step forward as a flash of doubled paint came to my black opticals. Nostrils twitched and a low nicker was released for my mate and daughter. My arched neck bent down to pull at the tattered tassles that lay gently on my daughters neck as she danced forward to meet me. Skull twitched to the right, motioning for Droja and Anna Lee to take their rightful place up by my side, on the slightly higher ground me and my father stood on. I stole a glance at him, receiving a sharp nod, i smirked, i had his approval, i could tell he was proud of me.

Darkened pools shifted from my father to Eris and Lustra as the pair came wandering through. I stepped forward to greet the ebon mare, she had always been special to me. I whickered a small hello before turning my gaze to Lustra, the black colt, born a year after me. I hadn't seen him around much and had never spoken to him, but prehaps he would stay here, in Hollow Woods, he would be of some use. I stared at him for a few minutes; licking at a small wound on my shoulder before looking away from him with no emotion showing.

I copied my fathers actions, hearing the call of one i could resemble, but all was soon revealed as she pranced through the clearing with elegance spilling off her frame, so this was my aunty..I was slightly amused at how she bossed my father around, she was the only other apart from my mother that dared. I gave her a respectful nod, when she spoke to me, my lip twitched, curling into a sly smile. " I've been waiting to meet you..." I spoke, lyrics held that slight hint of a twisted mind. That one of which i contained, a mixed up soul and a disorder that could lead to death of myself or even others. I snatched my gaze away from her to catch Droja's reaction to her, i knew she wouldn't be happy about her bossy behavoiur, but i couldn't help but keep that sly smile plastered to my jaw line.

As i veered slightly off to the left to come closer to Droja and Anna Lee; i faintly noticed a blue mare come through, i hadn't met her beofre, yet sent her a nod, flicking my audits towards her before scenting Anntho, another mare that had proven special to me, she sent me a small hello, i blinked and smirked at her, clacking my teeth at the grey mare, my gaze settled on her, i hoped she would stay on, now Chaos was stepping down.

Nox came jogging into the clearing, she had always been shy and quiet. I gave ehr a respected nod, but that was all, otherwise i kept quiet, but soon, i spotted a dappled filly, reconisable only to me, my fathe rnoticed her first, and i acted fast, darting forward to put myself infornt of him, blocking his way to my precious Echo. With a low whicker, i jogged forward, head low and friendly, I caught up to her and embraced her in a friendly hug, pulling on her mane to allow her to join in the meeting.

Lilith seemed to bustle out from no where and i smirked as she danced up against my father, then moved onto me and sunk her fangs into my throat. I gave a low grumble and extended my neck to return the 'friendly' gesture. "I don't know, princess..." I sneered, giving a low deep chuckle and turning to glance at Echo ,sure, this would be arkward for her, but she had to learn the ways of a dark. I sent her a flashy smile as my father cleared his thraot to speak, and i stepped up next to him, it was just us two now, standing side by side, staring over our soon to be shared kingdom.

BLIZZARD

All eyes on me.

I watched in pure silence. Audits flicking to catch all of the conversation. My step-brothers mate and child, then my mother and my brother. Harks perked forward seeing her entrance and pools widened slightly, i was glad to see her. Although i had spent alot of time by myself, i knew i would never grow away from her. I felt like it was my job to protect her. Nostrils quivered a little and i waltzed forward, past my father, intrepid, droja and Anna Lee. Making sure i whipped Intrepid with my tail on my way past him. I pranced up to my mother, barging at my brother to move him away from her, flattening back my harks and snapping out at him. Only when I thought he was at a reasonable distance did I settle and stop my dancing. I reached up to nuzzle my mothers neck and snorted, snapping my skull to face the others. "Hello. father..." I snarled, finishing with a high pitched cackle, allowing my sight to gaze over to Droja, and her daughter, snatching yet another look at my step-brother.

I stayed content for some time, glaring up at the others, switching my gaze between them, waiting for something to happen. My muscles twitched under my light chestnut colouring and my mane lifted slightly off my neck as a summer breeze whisked through the clearing. On hearing the arrival of another, my skull arched around to meet the gaze of the other, she resesmbled my father, it was obvious they were of some relation. I also, couldn't hold a smirk away as she approched my father, i took one step forward, almost intrigued by the classy mare. She was almost what I pictured myself being like, once i grew up. I stepped forward again, making her known of my presence, i cleared my throat a little. Gazing up at her with intelligent optics, standing beside her. "Blizzard.." I informaed the mare, i let my name roll off my tongue, i loved it. It suited me, my nature. I snatched a look at my mother, whoem i had left, to stand next to this mare. I smiled at her, wondering if she would mind my bossiness.

I think i was first to notice yet another arrival, an old looking blue roan mare. I snorted at her. I hadn't ever seen her before, had she been hiding somewhere? She stopped short of the meeting, and my teeth began to slowly grind through a closed jaw. Sudenly, a faint heat was on me, and shortly afterwards, i felt fangs sink deep into my hind and i backed up immediatly, moving fast to buck and kick out at the now appeared Anntho. We had a special sort of relationship, i knew i could learn alot off her, but she was ever willnig to be open about the situation. As she sidled alongside my father and licked at his wounded ribs, i smiled and glanced up at Hayrial, by my right, then down to my mother, still awaiting some action off her.

I reconised the smaller chestnut mare, Nox. I had met her a few times before. I sent her an arrogent snort and glared at her for a few minutes as she came up closer to myself and Hayrial, i snapped out at her. I hated ones that interfeered. Next, a dapppled one i had yet to be introduced to, skull was snapped around as some quick movement was released between my father and Intrepid and i let a catty laugh come from my kissers.

My attention was soon snapped from Nox and the dappled filly to Lilith, the all so special princess, that i would class as being slightly big headed. I wrinkled my nose and landed my gaze on her. Neither approving, nor disapproving of her presence. There would always be some sort of tension between us, i guessed. I twisted my skull around to look at father, as he cleared his throat to speak, eyes wide with all intention of listening to what he had to say.

Droja

My copper lanterns looks around as it was just the four of us that stood. Waiting for the others to step forth toward the meeting. I shifted my weight side to side as I began to relax my hind limb. My copper lanterns lays on Chaos while I heard the words that he spoke toward me. But only word that came out of my painted mug was, Indeed I then notice his firm nod as I gave him one back as well. But then I could fell his black lanterns on him, studying me like some type of prey. My copper lanterns began to study him as while as it seem like we didn't break any eye contact. I didn't care who he was, if he studying me, he was going to get study back. I then let out a slight friendly snort toward him as are studying was over.

I then watched the mare know as Eris and her young colt Lustra showed as they stepped into the group. I let a slight smirk form upon my painted my as I thought back the first time we met. Indeed it wasn't good and I knew that from that day forward we most likely wouldn't get along. But that was fine by me, I didn't care. I watched her as began to speak toward Chaos. Then I noticed a small foal as she moved passed me, Anna Lee and Intrepid. I then began to let my copper lanterns watch her.

I then her notice a mare stepping forth appearing from the shadows. She moved along with grace and style. It seem like she wanted everyone to box down at her feet and kiss them. I watched as she made her rude remarks and moved around. I then let a slight chuckle escape from my lungs. She thought she was all that, but in my eyes she was nothing much but a dumbass. I then felt Intrepid lanterns looking at me as I notice his smirk upon his mug. Indeed this mare might thought she was all that and she knew it all and could get away with everything. But I knew one thing, she wasn't going to talk to me, my daughter nor Intrepid like this. I then heard the words that she began to speak toward Intrepid. "I'm assuming you're the dipstick's son?" I then began to let my voice escape toward her. Well since you are his sister, I guess that makes you one to. I couldn't help it. I let my copper lanterns glare as her and then they moved toward Chaos as I knew he would have something to say.

I then noticed a blue roan mare stepping up next. She seem new and lost. I watched her with my copper lanterns as I gave out a welcome snort toward her. I then felt warmth from Intrepid flesh as he moved closer toward me and are young daughter. I then lashed out at his long sliver tassels that danced along his boa as I waited to see who this mare was.

I then watched another step forth as she nipped the young filly upon her hind quarters as she then moved and worked her way over to lick the blood off Chaos. My taste buds began to water as I watched her. I then let out a slight snort. I knew that I was going to be getting blood sometime soon. I'm not sure who it would be. But it will be fresh, not dryed. With this thought I then just let my lanterns move back and forth from all the others.

I then watched another mare step in as she didn't say many words. Just said her hellos to the ones that she chosen. Then she said hello to the one I last spoke too, the mare who thought her shit didn't stink. I then let my lanterns move to Auntie Hay as I just let out a slight smirk toward her. The smirk was more of a dare.

Then I notice Echo. I watched Chaos dart forward as I moved out of his way. I then looked at the mare as then my lanterns dart back toward Chaos as I gave him a slight smirk. It was sad to said, this young mare haven't done nothing to me, but she didn't mean nothing to me either. So I thought it would be a little fun to watch Chaos attack her. But then I notice Intrepid step forth as placed himself between the two, daring his father to touch her. I then looked toward Echo as I gave her a look. The look as telling her that she needs to speak up and say who she was. I then shook me skull as I once turn back into the circle.

I then watched another mare stepping from the shadows. This looked like Intrepid sister as she placed a playful nip upon his soft throat and then spoke toward him. I raised my cerebrum too see if she was a threat to him, but she wasn't I then lower my cerebrum while I watched her. She was like the other mare, thought she was all good looking. I let out a smirk as I thought to myself. Is is a dark world. No one judge by looks here. Hell your going to get scared up sooner or later.

I then began to hear Chaos speak as he said there was a few missing. I then began to look around. This was a big herd and hard to believe that someone would miss a meeting. I then began to hear what he was saying. So he was going to step down and let Intrepid be king of Hollow Woods. I let my copper lanterns moves toward him to see his reaction. But he seem like he already knew this was going to happen. Did he have it all planed out this hold time. Then the next thought hit me, was he going to find a new queen. I wasn't sure of this. But I knew if I was to be queen I would have to change my ways slightly. I would have to start looking out for everyone, not just me, my daughter and him. Could I do that. I let my copper lanterns move between everyone to see there reactions as while. I was somewhat surprised.

Anna Lee
I watched as everyone step from the shadows. This was the most Ive ever seen before. I watched my grandfather as he spoke. His words spoke with wisdom as I wish I could be that wise one day. He seem every sure of himself. Then I notice Echo appear as I gave out a welcome nicker toward her. Then I watched my grandfather try to attack and how Daddy stepped up for her. I then moved over toward her and gave her a slight nudge and the moved to my place next to my mother once more. I then heard that Daddy was going going to become king. I then looked up toward my mother as I then look around as she did. I wasn't sure. I then notice another filly. I believe that her name was Blizzard. I then gave out a slight friendly snort toward her.

[unknown]

I was shocked. He was handing the throne to Intrepid. I gasped, and unexpectedly, so did Lustra. I looked at him, confused, then looked back and sighed. I guess it had to be done. Sooner rather than later. I looked at Blizzard quickly and then at Lustra. Lustra's face hadn't changed. He stepped forward and snorted. So... What will change? Apart from a new king? he asked. I was thinking pretty much the same thing. I looked around the group, expecting someone else to speak. No-one, so far. She took another look at Chaos and shook her head, noticably upset. Would he actually notice?

HAYIRAL
The clock hits midnight as a dark figure moves through the office.

[/center]

Shortly after the queenly elder’s appearance, her crown lifted, again taking a thorough look at the rest of brother’s herd. Ebony slits narrowed to a dangerous degree, scanning out a roaned elder that had made a brief appearance. Opticals sidled back to her brother, giving him a coy look, one that had always read, ‘fine, I’ll be nice.’ Limbs rocked downwards to the earth, Hayiral’s gaze falling on a trio that began to arrive, each taking their designated spots in the small clan. She studied them intently, the gray bitch siding with Chaos; the other gray equal lingering towards Intrepid, leaving a dainty russet child staring at herself. Expression hardened slightly, dished façade twisted to an angle, smirk twitching onto her bloody hued lips. She’d begun to ignore the conversation around her, radars folding forward to the chestnut filly, catching in and molding her childish lyrics. ‘Hello Aunty Hay.’ Nares emitted a loud, abrupt snicker, lilting vocals rushing out into the breeze that surrounded the group. “Hello, little one.” Maw reached out and gave the smaller chestnut thing a rough shove, her crown then rising to look at the crowd again. Ebony optics slid around the growing numbers, tresses flicked upon her haunches in a cleanly manner, until another little one rose from the dwelling background. Optics rested on the female’s smaller form, giving an approved snort, watching the filly rub up against Chaos; much like she did, when they were younger.

And of course, the filly had turned towards Hayiral, and was spitting out vehement lyrics. Smirk widened into a toothy grin, crown lowering slightly, façade amused. “Mhmm, and you must be the cute little princess.” Words held a teasing edge, and her disposition was lifted. Statue remained solid, gaze following to where brother Chaos finally was speaking to her. Optics rolled around, then upwards, façade giving a quick shake. “I hope not, big brother.” Faint squeal broke off her last words, feeling a short moment of teeth upon her throat. Nares wrinkled, crown coming down fiercely to give her brother a nice little headache, butting down on brother’s poll. Her attack was interrupted when lyrics were spoke, only to her. Ebony orbs slid to the gray brute beside Chaos, charming grin forming on her lips. ‘I’ve been waiting to meet you…’ Nod was given; at the same time, her words eased out. “Like wise.” Gaze was diverted from the prince, towards an approaching chestnut filly who’d resembled Chaos to an un-believable level. She too, was intrigued by Hayiral, and a haughty smile formed on the mare’s bloody hued lips. “Blizzard..” Brows lifted slightly, reply given to the filly, who’d taken Hayiral’s side. Oh, how fun! “Hayiral.” Maw bumped the filly to a rough degree, and then she heard brother speaking. His serious tones made her gaze lift, and she remained quiet, listening. She nodded faintly; oh, so Chaos was stepping down? Eyes sidled to Intrepid and the mare beside her, who was staring back, devilish words rising to her lips. “I guess that makes you one too.” Body never shifted, but her mind started with dozens of spiteful comments, although it wouldn’t seem right to ruin a happy moment like this. Maw began to form a silent warning, slowly exhaling a silent word. “Fucker.” The worse was ever so quiet, only directed for the brute’s queen. That was about as near as she would get to respect. Radars folded backwards, and she flashed the mare a dangerous smile, gaze returning to the group.

{ FENRIR ;
- I saw you move across the room and I already felt ya.

Forming rain drops slicked down my russet coat as I eased through the band of realms. Sapphire glints remained narrowed down, like a cat hiding its sudden urge to go out a hunt. Nares let out a loud snicker; damn, I hadn’t been to the Woods for a long while. Despite my agreement with Chaos and Lilith, I’d allowed myself to wander out to the locals, words of the war again coming to me. And, well, since I was a handsome, strutty stallion - almost, I was only two - I’d managed to get some easy info and hell if I wasn’t going to warn Chaos. Not to mention, my evil soul mate was out there, waiting for me. Smirk rose to my dappled maw, limbs hurrying forward into a three beat canter, strides pushing my sturdy stature over the Wood’s marshy turf. The cool air pricked at my steel tinted skin; it made me shiver, already so icy, for being the end of summer.. It was perfect. Azure orbs glanced upwards, alert radars pricking up delicately; they caught Chaos' call, and hell if I was going to be the last one there. Pace shifted into a smoothe gallop, striking the turf with a sense of great authority that lasted until I'd finally spotted the straggling group begin to form.

Talons stuck themselves into the lithe, optics surveying the sappy scene. "Damn it." Of course, I was the last one to arrive; hell, even Lilith had arrived, and I watched my companion with an amused mask upon my facade as she pulled an animalistic motion against her father. Throat shook in a fall bout of snickers, my vocals fading when I took a closer look at Chaos. Crown tipped to one side, and lucky enough, Chaos was questioning my arrival. Body weaved in between the gathering equine, ignoring the conversation that loomed around the large group. "I'm here, Chaos. . . Who's the unlucky brute?" I questioned the large stallion, my vocals reveling a respectful - yes, respectful - tone. My gaze sidled down to where Chaos' prize rolled about, giving an unlawful snort, before twisting my frame around. Nod was given to Intrepid, and I itched to aware him of my spy-work, but that could wait until the herd began to fall apart for the night. Instead, I let my eyes glue themselves to the russet bitch's form; smirk played on my maw, form sliding forward, pearly ivorns snatching out and tapping Lilith's clean haunches. Sheesh, it had been a while since we'd first met; now, we'd both grown into our tall two year old bodies. As sappy as it was, we were destined for something greater than this. Orbs trailed the young mare's form, lyrics carrying from deep within my throat. "Hello, my princess." Lips lifted in a faint sneer, and a bark of laughter was sent through me, out into the cool air. Radars flicked forward as Chaos' deep tones rushed through me, and I began to listen to the grown elder intently, facade twisted with a sense of amusement.

Amethea

As the beautiful blue roan mare listened to what the chestnut brute, whom she knew as Chaos was saying to the large group that had been gathered together for this meeting blackish colored auds pricked forward when this thirteen year old fae heard her name. Come forward when Amethea. I really do not want to come forward, but I might as well come forward I have nothing to hide. Or do i…Thea we are not going their today.

Blackish colored pillars moved her beautiful blue roan body forward and a little bit closer towards the large group, as she to closer it was very easy to tell that Amethea was a old girl, and she was also a mustang. Stopping a little closer to them, while her dark chocolate black colored orbs looked at the different horses at this meeting.

To this blue roan fae it was very easy to tell that most around here were Arabian and not most of the other breeds. Shaking her blackish colored crown, which caused her long beautiful ebony mane to gently flick either side of her lighter colored neck.

The old lady was not to fused about being in a dark herd, she did not really mind what was happening around her, Thea was always come around everything and everyone nothing seemed to worry this old girl. Thea could not really had anything to say, because she had not been in this herd or land that long to say anything, Thea had only meet two horse so far that was Anntho first and then Chaos.

Amethea was not really paying much attention to what conversions some horses where having, but she could hear when she wanted to. Her dark black colored orbs then saw another horse entered the large group, making it even larger. Amethea kept herself quite for the time being, because she really did not have anything to say at this moment in time.

[`anntho]

`anntho

My gaze flew around the scene. It seemed that most of the herd members had shown up, making for a tight-knit crowd. Not something I appreciated, ever. Tucking myself together, I pivoted on spot and disappeared to the fringes of the gathered horses, a non-stop drifting shadow. Never in one place for more than a breath's length. Upon reaching the end of the semi-circle, I switched directions, slowing my stride, taking my good old time now. The movement of Thea caught my attention and I paused all together, and then I heard Chaos. The throne was being handed over? There was a change of leadership? Yes, all true. My gaze flickered to the new King, standing astride the old one. My nod was plain, it signalled I'd stay in the grounds, I wouldn't leave. No other place held up to my standards. Nor, any other brute. My descision was final, and would hold firm.

Daddy was stepping down? Well that was unexpected. At the rough shove from my Aunt, I grunted and stepped back, before stepping right back up to bat, giving her a shove back. A pleased expression teased at my lips and for the moments I forgot about Daddy handing over the crown to Intrepid, but soon enough. Reality came racing back with a forceful nature. Seriously? I questioned politly, looking from Intrepid to the chesnut and back again, before realizing how stupid a question that was. A sheepish grin appeared and I stepped back away from them, slipping in behind my Aunt and peering around, mostly at the newest members, and then of course the mare who had insulted Aunty Hay.

[/size][/right]

`e.C.ho

Both of my ears flipped back as Chaos himself leapt forwards towards me. All my instincts boiled down to one immediate response, or well, an off-natured response. Bracing my haunches I leapt back towards him, only to be intercepted by Intrepid and pulled against his muscular body. The adrenaline edged away and I relaxed against him, only realizing there was an absence of him when that side of me got cold. Blinking away the fog, I trailed after him, lingering near his shoulder until he went to stand alongside his Father. Which to me, meant I was to stand with Droja and Anna Lee. The next statement felt like I'd run into a brickwall. Even though, I'd expected it to happen at one time or another. Turning my gaze back to Intrepid, I tipped my head lightly to one side, both ears flopping over.
