This idylic place is host to some lush plants, but where humans visit on horseback. There are sure to be recaptures here.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

Tiny jewels of crystal water embedded every single blade of grass, the dew sparkling and shimmering in the sun. I threw up my head and broke into a gallop, no, faster than that, I was to the point where if I went just a tiny bit faster, I would've been flying. THe shiny black coat that was mine was forever glittering, stretching out and being compact. My violet eyes sought out only further, to the sky. Great valleys of green were stretched out before me, and my heart stretched with them. Freedom, the word that was mine to hold and cherish like I held nothing else.

Freespirit

Cinch:
He finally took me out in the wild which I love. The problem is that whenever he does he uses a harsh bit and we go out to capture wild horses which I hate. I smelled a mare close bye, I couldn't see her yet and didn't want to show Drew I knew there was a horse close bye. Then he gave a painful jerk of the bit a stabbed his spurs into me then I started running. I couldn't tell what he wanted because he kept yelling go and japping his spurs into me,but also had his reins way to tight. The bit nawwed threw my gums which started to foam so I backed up. He stopped and quietly said "look at that beauty." Then I saw her too.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

I slid to a stop, muzzle raised in the air and quivering. The whites showed in my violet eyes, and my head trembled. I smelt something, something uncanny and not quite right. I picked up a hoof and looked around. The desert steam made everything hazy, so I couldn't see anything clearly. I wasn't sure whether to neigh out or keep quiet.


Cinch:
"Run!" I wanted to scream to the mare but she stood frozen in her tracks.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I ran to the mare, and nipped at her heels and flanks. She started to gallop, but so did the other horse with the man on him. I ran to were we would be safe, but made laots of zigzags along the way.

Freespirit

Cinch:
I tried to buck Drew off but he only stabbed his spurs into me harder for grip I squeled in frustration and ran after the stallion and mare.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I knew that the poor gelding did not want to go after me, but he had to. I ran up and down. He soon tired, but the man kept him after me. I made my escape.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

I whinnied ferociously and wheeled around on my hind legs. It was almost as if smoke was blowing out of my nose. Fire was blazing out of my eyes. I stared down the human, and the poor horse he sat on. My tail was raised elegantly, but it showed my irritation. I would not be bossed around, by anyone.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I ran towred the mare. I nipped at her, but she would not move. She was stubburn as a mule! I squeled at her, then I leaped in front horse her, and bite the man.

Freespirit
Drew:
"OUCH!" The horse bit me and then he started to buck. "Cinch knock it off!" He seemed weary and defeated but the he reared.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I made the mare run, and just then, the man fell from Cinch's back. I did not know if he would follow us, but I ran.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

I neighed harshly and turned in the other direction, not to the man with the horse, but not with the stallion either. I fliscked my tail in an extremely irritated motion and leaped a bit another way.

Freespirit

Cinch:
I had no desire to stand next to the man. "Run!" my mind screamed at me. I started to run when he grabbed hold of my reins it jerked my head around and pain shot through my gums. I was facing him trying to back away but he just kept pulling on my reins. I felt my bridle get tighter when suddenly it slipped off. I left Drew in the dust with only a mouthful of dirt and a handful of reins. I was Free!

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

I whinnied feverishly to the gelding that had just been freed. I pawed the ground quickly telling him to follow me. I nrighed again and pranced frantically on my legs, while shaking my head.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I knew saftey lies with the herd, so I ran. I was mad at Black Jewel, how she had ignored me, then called for the gelding to come with her. I ran to catch up, and as I came side by side with Cinch, I reached out my head, and bit at the thing under his belly. The saddle came off. We ran, leaving all things with the human sents behind.

Freespirit

Cicnch:
When my tight saddle came off I threw my head up in joy. It was me Black Jewel and Darkrain we were running from everything human and man did it feel good!

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

I threw my head up and neighed for joy. I had escaped the clutches of yet another human. I leapt the next feet with a prance in my feet, enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing back my mane.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
As we ran for the pure joy, I felt so alive, I hoped I would always feel this way.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

Although I didn't want to stop, I knew I should so I could keep my energy. So I dug my hind legs into the soft sand into a sliding stop. I shook my mane to rid it of the sad that had coated it. I snorted puffily, letting out big clouds of steam. I was a hot horse, and I needed to cool down.

PhantomMustang

I knew where a pond was, so I walked over to it. It took ten minuets. Then I played like a colt.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

I focused my wary eyes on the stranger horse, though both of them were strangers, I always thought horses who had a human on them were even more of a stranger.

"Are you a horse that likes humans?" I asked icily. I was not one to be in a human-loving horses company, for that made it more likely that I was going to get captured. Nothing would make me risk that.

Freespirit

Cinch:
She asked me if I liked humans so I replied, "I have never had any good experience with any human, I would do anything to stay free like this-this place-" I looked at my surroundings more closely. The pond had sparkling cool water,kept shady by a beautiful tree with leaves as umbrellas. She looked at me funny and I noticed I had stopped midway in my sentence "Humans would have to drag me by my legs if they were ever to take away my freedom" and with that, I splashed into the water with Desert Dust enjoying every second of my Freedom.

Unicorn Spirit

Black Jewel:

"Good," I said, raising my muzzle in an arrogant way. I walked over to the pond and dipped my mouth in, drinking deeply, crystalline droplets splashing out and cooling me.

"I am Black Jewel," I added, placing one hoof in the deep blue waters.

Freespirit

Cinch:
"Cinch" I replied nodding toward her as if to say I heard. I was cooled off now and came out of the chilly water. I shook like a dog, water going in every direction it could reach. I looked up soon enough the sun would be leaving as it sunk down like a rock would in a lake.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
"I am DesertDust, and have never known a human, but have seen many." I shuddered at the memory.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
All three horses waited till dawn to run again, with the gelding between me. I looked at the moon, and sighed. I was happy, so why did I want her back? Because I missed her, I told my self.

Unicorn Spirit

OOC: Um, both of you were powerplaying. Right now, Jewel is still drinking.

Black Jewel:

I splashed into the pond, letting myself get soaked by the cooling waters. Stars were coming out, much to my displeasure, for they bought back ancient and unpleasant memories of a starry night so long ago. But the moon outshone them all, a beacon of light in the middle of the velvet black night. I whuffled deeply for no reason.

Freespirit

(ooc:I changed my posts)
Cinch:
As Black Jewel spashed into the water I ate beside DesertDust. I loved the night it brought beauty and mystery to everything you saw.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
As Cinch and I ate the sweet grass by the river, the moon came out. It was verry light out, as it was a full moon.

Freespirit

Cinch:
The moon gleamed off our shinning smooth coats. I was at peace and loved being with my new friends. Home at last I thought, untill the image of Drew screamed in my mind.

Unicorn Spirit

OOC: Thanks.

Black Jewel:

I raised my head in a panic of shock as a coyote's howl startled me. The night was eerie to me, and full of tension, for it always reminded me of the past. I whinnied out as my hooves frantically pranced as theyalways did when I was nervous. Nothing could make me feel safe in the dark...
PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
Black Jewel was restles tonight. She was keepinh me awake, but I was not tired any way. I looked at the moon.

Freespirit

Cinch:
I also watched the moon. It was bright and gleaming but dark gray fog seemed to swallow it's beauty. A howl of a coyote came it was closer this time and my whole body shivered in fear.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I went to stand between the horses and the coyote. I extended my muzzle to the gelding to show him he was okay. I was not sure if the mare would need that comfert, she did not seem to like me.

Freespirit

Cinch:
Desertdust reached out to me showing I was safe. But were we really or were we in danger. Few minutes passed and there was no coyote that I had heard yet. But nothing was certain.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
I stayed awake all night, while the gelding slept. I knew that he would need a few nights to get used to the noises, but I could help him with that.

Freespirit

Cinch:
When I woke up Desertdust was awake and looked tired. He must have stayed up.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
Cinch and I went for a run in the morning. It felt good to streach my legs.

Freespirit

Cinch:
I was free! I tossed my head up in excitment and bucked running in every direction. We both loved it and as we flew I felt more alive than I had ever been.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
As Cinch and I ran, I smelled a man. I knew it was Drew, after his horse. I began to herd him, awy from the smell, and back to Black Jewel, to see if she would come and hide with us.

Freespirit

Cicnh:
I didn't think she would come to put herself in more danger of being caught so me and Desert ran as fast as our legs could carry us.

PhantomMustang

DesertDust:
We ran, and I hoped that BlackJewl would be okay.
