- please don't hate me

Golden bodice shone in the gentle afternoon sun as I moved through this unknown – yet curious domain. All around me the trees, bushes and plants were the strange color of purple and I had to poke myself a couple of times to make sure that I wasn’t sleeping. So finally I had come to the conclusion that either I was in a deep slumber, dead or just in a very strange place. I didn’t want to openly admit it, but this territory really scared the crap out of me – and I wasn’t one to be scared easily. On the outside I was completely calm and collected as my sapphire orbs scanned the nearby territory for signs of other equines – or potential dangers. “Hello?” I called out in an attempt to attract a little attention to myself; I didn’t want to end up alone again. Caesar my brother had left me to go back and claim his rightful territory or something like that - and he had yet to return, but truly I feared the worst – the palomino stallion had been in a terrible shape when he left. “Rest in peace bro” The words was nothing but a quiet whisper – a quiet plea that he hadn’t suffered a terrible death.

With Caesar gone I was officially on my own again – abandoned and alone and truly I didn’t enjoy that feeling very much, which brought me to why I was here. I figured that a lead stallion would be more likely to accept a mare in heat on his territory than a mare just waltzing in randomly; yes it was probably a low shot, but every fiber in my body screamed for company and safety. If this stallion – whoever he might be, didn’t wish to impregnate me I could always be useful as the caretaker of the young ones. Caretaker – that was the role of which I had taken upon myself, I absolutely adored foals, large and small – it didn’t matter to me, I adored teaching them, caring for them; generally just taking the heavy weight of their mother’s shoulders when they were tired.

Renegade

Muscles underneath her crimson and ivory painted skin. Moving though the wooded area of this strange purple colored land, but this beautiful fae loved her home it was perfect from her to live in. Crimson and ivory painted fae lowered her crown and began to graze on the sweet tasting lilac grass. After a few minutes of grazing chestnut auds pricked forward while her crown lifted up in the air hearing a call in that blew along in the calm wind. Turning her pinto body around towards they way she had come from, speeding up her gait to go into a two beat, she then came out of the forest area, then her odd colored orbs spotted a golden mare near the border.

Renegade began to make her way over towards the mare, when this pinto fae got close enough she halted. For once renegade was still in a very peaceful mood, as her light pale pink colored maw opened Hello their miss. May I help you?

[/size] Lyrics were peaceful and kind for this moment in time.

Golden tresses flowed with the shifting winds as they passed. This autumn was a harsh one – the temperatures were dropping rapidly and the sky was darkening with each passing day, was this even a good season to become pregnant? I wasn’t sure. Sensitive auds pricked forward as hoof beats echoed through the small clearing – and soon a duo colored mare appeared out of some nearby bushes. Her voice was soft and welcoming and I immediately felt my frame relax, but where was her king? She couldn’t possibly be living here on her own without a king could she? I raised my maw slightly and took a deep whiff; the scent of stallion and pregnant mares was dominant, so was her king absent? Any way I didn’t really mind I guess. “I’m sorry for banging in on your territory like this – I came to ask for a place to call my home, could you use another mare in your ranks?” I questioned the mare in a soft yet uncertain voice. “I’m Ferentina..” I continued with a slightly frown upon my features. I didn’t want to show it but I was slightly nervous – afraid to be rejected and to wander the lands on my own again, I was born to live and die in a herd under the protection of a strong king. Golden bodice glimmered like gold in the pale lilac life as I stepped slightly towards the younger mare. “It may be rude to ask – but where is your king?” My expression was curious yet ashamed to be so straight forward, I wasn’t usually like this – usually I was the fly on the fall, the observer and wise elder, the one you went to if you required aid with foals or other matters.

Renegade
Have I changed?

Chestnut auds pricked forward hearing the lady’s vocals. As she heard the lyrics the fae in front of her had asked. It made renegade have to have a think at where her king was. listening to the mare, what was up with Renegade she would of normally chased a mare off by now. For once this chestnut and ivory pinto fae was behaving herself . Indeed another would be very welcome into this herd. Well my king is either keeping an eye out on the end of the land or just coming back into the land. My name is Renegade. banner began to flick against her powerful flanks while she waited for an answer from the new fae.I would say welcome to the herd, but I have to wait on the king, but you have permission from me to stay in the borders of the land.

A weary rush of carbon left me as I treaded back into the lands that I had staked claim upon. All the running about had my nerves worn thin - very, very thin. My body stilled as I crossed into the deep forest, tucked away safely from the wolf pack that had long ago came to be, and took the previous king's land and life. The wind took me off guard. It brought with it a new scent, one I had not reconginzed by name, but by gender. Rene was with another mare who had intruded..was she behaving herself? My muscles tensed beneath my black body, shifting my weight forward entirly to rocket off, breaking from the trees to continue my stride unhindered.

My breathing became labored as I slowed at the sight of my duo-toned queen. Fog rolling from my open narels, disappearing only on the inhale through my slightly parted lips, tasting each scent that clung to the air. My gaze roved Rene's body, landing on her barrel and shoulder region for a moment before returning to the newest mare. Hello Was all I spoke, the tone low, but void of wariness or worry. No sign of weakness in my composed, expressionless mask. My breathing finally became easier and I took the advantage to move forward, ghosting gracefully around her in a semi-circle, before coming to rest between Rene and her, broadside so that the length of the body was visible, seperating them sternly, more for the safety of the new mare, incase Rene's temper flared.

A slow blink was allowed as I looked over her, taking in the golden tone of her pelt. She had a sturdy look to her. Perhaps she could handle herself after all if my queen were to suddenly snap into one of her violent moods. No, I wouldn't allow it. They were both much to pretty to lay scars upon one another for a senseless reason. I ran over my thoughts again, before snickering to myself. I had a feeling that my testosterone was ruling most of my thoughts and emotion right now. A gale hit me full force in the face, the nippy winds clearing my thoughts, chasing away the light fog that had settled itself over the logical part of my mind.

May I ask who you are, ma'am? I questioned
in a polite tone, the former pretense of no emotion slipping away as I found her to be no threat to myself or my lands yet. Actually, if I would of found her anywhere else, I would of asked her to come back to my grounds with me. To meet my queen and be part of the life. Protected as best I could do. A painful memory spasmed through my mind and I ground my teeth together in a snarl. The previous mare I brought home had decided to weasel her way into my mind. Taking a calming breath I blinked again, soothing my aggitated nerves and removing her from my mind entirly for the present moment. Eventually my face relaxed out of the snarl and a shot an apologetic look at both the unknown mare, and Rene, before returning swiftly to my once forgotten and now remember expressionless mask.

- please don't hate me

The wind was pumping in my ears – drumming as I awaited the final answer; this was the Queen and therefore her opinion had a major influence upon my stay here. I had witnessed other equines being on the bad side of the Queen of their land – it hadn’t been long before they had been thrown out like mere garbage and I really didn’t feel like suffering the same faith. I was born to live in a herd – being by myself for too long without protection would surely be fatal for my frail bodice. Sure enough some would call me study – capable of surviving on the outside; but my insides would burn up eventually from the solitude.

On the outside I was a beauty – at least that was what I had been called, I – myself, wasn’t convinced though. My muscular body was painted the color pure gold – in summer my sunny color would be accompanied by leopard dots. Sapphire orbs shifted from the duo colored queen to a newcomer that banged in suddenly. The stud was the color of coal – his form was slender yet muscular; I was completely and utterly lost already before he opened his perfect mouth to address me. ‘Hello’ – so sweet; so handsome. The hormones spiked dangerously inside my spinning bodice as I stared – dazzled – at the dark hellion. Dark pillars carried his sleek bodice as he circled me – and I found that my azure orbs were glued to his form; following his dark eyes as he weaved a thick blanket of obsession over me. “Hi” Soft low murmur escaped my lips as I desperately clung to the remaining oxygen in my lungs – and found that I had forgotten to breathe. Did this happen often to mare’s in heat? Were the hormones usually this crazy or was it just love at first sight? I really doubted the last part – I had to be too old for that stuff; right? I blinked a couple of times as I continued to stare at the dazzling male.

That was – until he decision to place himself between the Queen Renegade and I; frustration and confusion rose in my body immediately – did he really think I would hurt the Queen? This was outrageous! Sapphire orbs narrowed slightly as I met the stud’s dark eyes once again. “I won’t hurt her” I commented his rash behavior as my temper gradually dropped and instead a frown appeared on my golden lips. “I’m Ferentina – sister to the Golden Caesar who I fear have been slain” I held a short break to take a deep breath “I therefore stand without a herd and hoped that it would be possible to live here – serve you and Queen Renegade.” My voice was calm and collected – that of a mare that had experienced a lot of things; however I wasn’t arrogant – compared to others in their prime I was relaxed and friendly – open and willing. ‘More willing than ever’ I thought to myself as I ran my blue gaze across the stallion’s muscular body and handsome stature – curse those hormones! I decided that now was the right time to hate fall and all its stupid side effects! I wrinkled my nose slightly at the thought – all concerns about the upcoming major answer forgotten and buried. Yep fall was shit! [/color][/size]

Renegade

Pale pink nares caught his sent and she then turned her ivory painted crown towards her handsome midnight black king, ice blue and dark brown orb then watched as Erebus move forward in between her and the new golden mare, but this painted fae had a feeling that Erebus was doing it, in cause renegade had one of her mood, but for once she was in a very good mood and peaceful, lighter colored banner tickled against her white colored flanks. Chestnut auds pricked forward hearing the lyrics from both Erebus, when hearing the golden fae know as Ferentina, as she watched Ferentina make herself look bigger, renegade lowered her crown to show that she was in a good mood and she was not going to do anything. Light pale pink colored maw opened It is not you he is worried about Ferentina. Erebus is worried about how my mood can change in a blink for an eye.

She then deiced to take a pause to think over something, she was trying to think where she had heard the name Caesar from, letting her pink tongue came out of over her muzzle, when her tongue went back in she the spoke again, I have heard that name Caesar before. I cannot say for certain where, but it was from one for the horses around in Midnight Acres.

[/size] Turning her crown towards Erebus she then let a little sly smile to cross her pale pink maw, renegade could not believe that she was in a good mood in this fall, but she had never had a very bad mood in fall.

Both of my dark ears slid up at both Ferentina's voice, and then at Rene's. It was rather lovely, how both of there sorphrano tones worked together. Ahh, hormones again. After her first sentence I opened my mouth to reply, only to find Rene had beat me to the punch. A low sound rose in my chest, sounding most like a grunt then anything else. She is correct. I murmured, before dipping my scull lightly and swaggering forward towards the golden mare, inhaling deeply the entire time, testing her mood. All seemed rather calm, and still, hormone induced.

Where are my manners? I am Erebus, it is a pleasure to meet you Ma'am I chortled lightly at my own mindlessness; this season had my mind going balistic; stretched to thin in some place, and to thick in others. I'd be all to glad when it passed, until it came to Summer, then I'd want Fall back. Such indescion. Again my mind wandered and I had to jerk it back into focus, a sweet smile on my upturned lips, as I went over our short conversation in my head. She had no place to stay, her brother used to be king; way before me. All the pieces fit together.

If you would like Ferentina, I would welcome you into Lilac Woods. I murmured, my tone dropping another octave in a sympathetic and welcoming gesture, but no sooner did I change tone, did it change back again at the mention of an old king. I never knew him. I most likely was still with my son, Monte at the time he was here, either that, or traveling. I only received this land after the old king passed away and Rene named me her new King. I explained lightly, my attention span starting to wander as the light faded and sleepiness seeped through my muscles and mind. Stifling a yawn, I sent a look back to Rene then to Ferentina, nodding my head at nothing in particular, and remaining silent.
