Well the battle was over. The gods had favored him this day, and crowned him victor. However it seemed to Jericho that they had punished him. For almost every inch of his body hurt like hell. Slow and tedious steps carried the masculine towards his destination. Unlike the first time this stage stepped upon this earth, he had a slight hitch to his get along. Each time his front right leg landed on the ground it was tenderly limped onto the next step.

But no matter what, Jer was full of pride at his accomplishment. Now he had a home, a place of his own. Still Erebus would be a welcomed guest; after all he had fought gallantly and honorably. It was not within this brute’s blood to completely exile one with such personality. The same thing went for the mares that called Lilac Woods their home prior to Jericho’s invasion. They could stay or go, either way it did not matter.

The dark brown withers twitched ever so slightly as blood continued to trickle from the gash upon his upper shoulder. It would take a few days to before the crimson fluid ceased to flow. Till then it would sting every time the wind hit it. The male’s breathing seemed more labored than usual, thanks to Erebus practically landing on his muzzle as the stallion tumbled down. That hurt like hell too. The beat up bodice came to a halt as russet orbs gazed upon topography around him. A small smile curled the edges of his lips.

Dial slowly turned to one side as the stud gave out a small nicker. Hopefully Illivexas and One Heart would hear it, that or anyone else who wished to confront him at the moment. Truthfully he did not care. And as soon as he could, Jericho was going to find a place to lay down and rest to sooth the aching running through his carcass.

ILLIVEXAS }

The place she had set foot upon was relaxing, her tense muscles instantly resting underneath her heavily dappled coat. Every once in a while her nose would twitch but then it'd settle to scent the winds again for any signs of danger. There were a few scents around that she could identify, for one this must be Erebus' homelands but she lifted her limbs once more to step forward, slender ears pulled back and flickering around every once in a while until a sigh was given. Where was Jericho anyway? She remembered the stallion, sweet little Jericho. Who knows where he went off to.

She tossed her head sideways while ears picked up the sounds of a faint whicker, where was it coming from though? She couldn't exactly tell who's whicker it was, so she drew her head back into her chest and let out a snort, ready to defend herself in case of a fight or a warrior seeking answers.

Skiba

Calm before the storm.

Ah. My lungs took in a breath of fresh air. It smelled so good after the desert blankness and heat. The scent was new to me. I sniffed the surroundings, trying to discover the source of it. O, the bushes that had those flowers. Meanwhile I caught a whiff of horses. O boy. Good, some more company. I followed the trail to the equines. And there they were. A male and a female. The stallion was badly wounded. Bay columns slowly made their way closer to them. Erm, hello, I'm Skiba. I managed to declare with as much confidence as I had when I'd spoken to Rosetta, then added, I hope I'm not intruding.

My Grullo frame moved through the lands, it was getting close to that time but it seemed ever so far and I would not even get to spend time with my unborn child it was going right to Indigo. I snorted and tossed my crown as I crossed over the bored which smelled of different horses, it was hard to pick up Jericho scent, I snorted then did I here a faint call and I managed to find his scent in the million that were running through the lands, as I approached I saw Jericho, a mare and another brute, I walked closer and gave a smile, hello was all I said as I waited for the others to speak.

this post sucks sorry!

Dark brown thorns picked up the slight sound of hoof prints, and a familiar smell drifted to him. Ah, Vexas was nearby. “Vexas is that you?” The muscular bodice moved to act like it was going to turn, but instead just stumbled. Frustrated, the male just stood there hoping that the mare would show up. Then there was another pattern of steps edging closer to him. Jer’s dial turned in time to see another stallion walking towards him. Curiosity consumed the brute, but still the masculine would be on his guard. “Hello there Skiba I’m Jericho. What might your business be here?”

Dark orbs then turned to find One Heart approaching. So she made it safely. Good. A faint smile crawled across the equine’s face. Things were going well. Just minus the cuts and bruises and everything would be excellent. “One Heart. I’m glad you made it.” The stallion was bursting with pride that it was finally able to welcome the girls into the home he had promised. But his injuries prevented him from prancing around like an energetic two year old, which is what he probably would have done.

Another thing that crossed his mind was that this would be the first time that Illivexas and One Heart came face to face. He began to worry that the fae’s would not get along. Well only time would tell. They both were good souls in his book; it shouldn’t be that much of a personality clash.

{ Ferentina

Palomino coat glinted in the sparse sunshine that graced us with its presence today. The air was thick with uneasiness and confusion and I was eager to see what the cause of these ripples in the peace was. Muscular pillars carried my frail bodice towards the source – and found another stallion standing tall and proud, towering above three other equines. Where was Erebus? Uneasy frown appeared on my golden lips as I approached the three horses with slow yet graceful steps. Azure orbs raked across the bloodied and beaten frame of the stallion – had he challenged Erebus? Was this my new king? I let my azure orbs slide on to the other females before curiosity got the better of me. “Greeting Jericho” I shifted my eyes back to the tired stallion, before lowering my head slightly to give him an acknowledging nod; to me it was irrelevant who ruled and who used to rule – I hadn’t known Erebus very well, but he had been a good king and I hoped that this Jericho would be too. “I am Ferentina; It’s a pleasure to meet you” I introduced myself with my normal calm yet soft tone – I didn’t expect him to jump up and down in joy of having another mare joining him, but it would be appreciated with an instruct on whenever I should stay or leave. The skies slid across the skies as time passed; I could almost hear the seeds on the trees grow – could almost scent the sweet scent of fresh flowers popping up all over the place. Oh how I longed for summer to come – how I longed to take a refreshing bath in the cold steam – and the sun would cast its warm comforting beams of light down upon my golden coat and make it shine like a valuable nugget.

To be honest Jericho was more surprised by the turn out of other equines than anything else. He had only been expecting Vexas and One heart to show up. But the arrival of two new faces gave the brute hope that this had been a good idea after all. A small smile curled the edges of his muzzle and the stallion lifted his head as high as possible. “Hello to you too Ferentina.” he stated with eyes upon the golden mare.

Then the bronco’s gaze shifted to each of the other’s here. “I’m truly honored that you all are here. I’m assuming that you know that I had challenged Erebus and won. So this is now mine. I know that most of the others have probably left all ready, which is fine that’s their decision, but the rest are free to stay if they so choose.” Jer was stating this just so everyone was clear on the matter. His voice was loud and proud despite his haggard appearance.

“If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns feel free to ask me at any time. I don’t bite…much.” The steed added a joking tone to his last words and gave a chuckle to himself. “As for right now I think I’m going to go relax and explore this place more thoroughly.” With that his liver chestnut poll dipped in respect to each individual and proceeded to limp away. It was time to find a nice comfy spot and rest for a bit. If anything was needed it would not be hard to find him.
