RAPHAEL

In the late hours of the day, Raphael was hidden into the shadow of the mountain as he walked beside it. He had seen little life the last couple of days as he had wandered the lands. It did not bother him though, it just made him curious about who he might run in to. If he was to run in to some, that was. He tossed the thought out of his mind.

His stomach roared. Having travelled all day completely made him forget about carring for his own needs. As the sun went down beyond the mountain, his lust for searching for food grew. He had to find something before the lack of light blended into his fur. He stepped out of the shadows, emerging like a drop of water falling from the sky, what before seemed as only eyes walking in the dark turned into being a young, well-fit arabian with a determined look in his eyes. Although he was uncertain if he would find food before darkness covered the land completely in the matter of hours, his worst worry was if he would meet strangers in his search.

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

Chaos enjoyed the odd roam alone, glad to be out of his lands, the great, bulky dark chestnut arabian stepped forward into a light, jagged trot, picking up speed as the lands streached out infront of him. He tossed his finely dished dial and pushed on into a lsow, collected canter.
Reaching the lands known as Green Mountain he slowed to a walk, picking his way through the rocks at the base of the towering hill. Nares picked up the scent of another, of course a stallion. He set off in a slow trot to find him; it didn't take him too long, soon, the figure of an arabian came into veiw and he slowed to a walk, then a halt, metres infront of the other.
'lo there brute. I be Chaos.

Raphael was rooted to the ground as he heard the voice of the great arabian in front of him. What he had feared, happened. Or did it? The arabian did not seem to scare him away. As a matter of fact, he greeted him. Raphael was not prepared for this. He had never been greeted. Every sentence he had heard until now had contained words with a lust for blood. With a hunger for fighting.
Yet he had to do something. He could not just stand there and look like deaf maniac. But what could he do? Should he respond harsh like he had always done? Should he try compete with this great being? No, he could not do that. First of all, he was too weak, definately too weak. Second, he had just greeted him. A fresh wave ran through his body as he thought this over. It had been long since he had felt this way, so long he could not remember when.
Raphael realized that the stallion in front of him was awaiting a respond. He raised his head a tad more than before and replied:

Good evening great Chaos, I be Raphael.

Shortly after he had said this, the worst thing that could happen, happened;
his stomach roared...

Ah, so this brute did carry some manners in his arabian head. Good. Today, the sun was warm in the sky, no fit day for a battle. The dark chestnut nodded his head in respect. Good lord, it was good to see a stallion that had some respect for other brutes. Most Chaos met, either ran away in fear, or tried to act like they were better than himself. Fat chance.
Ah, Raphael, so, do you roam alone? he asked, his tone still stern, yet it held some friendlyness in it. Auds pricked towards the others belly as it groaned.
A small smirk creased across his dial. Hungry are we? he laughed lightly, then carried on If you have no other place to be, Would you accept the position of a gaurdian warrior in my herd at Hollow Woods? he asked, taking a small step forwards.

[kirstgod]

A guardian? In a herd? Did such a thing really exist? No matter his thoughts regarding this matter, there was little Raphael had to think over before deciding. It had always been his wish taking care of others, and maybe receive something in return of the favour. For even a thank he would be grateful. Raphael shoke the thoughts out of his head. Now he had been thinking too wildly again. He had to control his imagination. Although, it was uncertain whether Chaos could see what he was thinking. Unless Chaos was "raised" the way Raphael was, he doubted this.

Raphael lowered his head in respect and answered;

It would be my pleasure, although, may I ask why you find me suited for such a task?

The words just appeared as he opened his mouth, he was trying to hide his energic mood.

It was good to see Chaos had picked such a respectful stallion for his herd, this ment Chaos could now roam out of his lands to claim mares, and be sure his matres at home would be under safe watch. Excellent, We will travel there now, It will not take us long, we will be there before dark. He snorted lightly, I chose you, as I ciould see you are trustworthy, no harm will come from you. And It means i can leave my lands to claim mares, and be sure the ones I have already will be safe. He walked up to the stallion and gave him a light nip on the shoulder, in a friendly way, Come Now, we leave. He flicked his tail sharply and set off in a pacey trot into the south.

o.o.c.//. I will make a post in Hollow Woods for his arrival with Chacha

[kirstgod]

Raphael was stunned at first. He could not believe that this was real. As Chaos nipped him on the shoulder after he had accepted the offer, he felt like... that he was accepted. For the first time for long. It did not take him long to react.

He set off after Chaos holding a clear, but not awkward distance in between them. He was curious. Where would he be taken to? Would he be fit enough for the purpose that had just been put in hand? The hooves drummed the ground systematicly as they went away. A new part of Raphael's life was about to unfold.

(( O.O.C.: By this last post I end this scene and will go on in the promised upcoming thread in the Hollow Woods. ))
