Galaxy of Hope:

As horses begin to leave and come, I started to get bored with my grazing and gazing. It looked like the only other horses around were Dixie Star and Black Trillium, neither of which I knew, and both of them were talking. The Phantom and Lark has gone off somewhere and Desperado and Ferrotil had seemed to disappear. I wondered whether I should leave altogether, or look for more horses arounf this area...

weeks later.......

Sparks from the Bonfire:

a big herd had been here. i could smell them, see their hoofprints filled with alkali dust. it had been a while ago, yes, but maybe some horses were coming back? i shivered at the possibility. small for my age, but impishly pretty, glowing like a fire in the noonday sun, i was just waiting for some dashing stallion to come and fall madly in love with me.

War Lord:

since Thistle and i got a new mare to add to our herd, we headed for War Drum Flats. the new mare was a blue gray named Untamed Mystery. she was beautiful and she had spunk. we had been galloping to War Drum Flats for over 3 days and we had finally arrived. i stopped at the watering hole to take a drink. the last drink that our (Phantom and i) herd had gotten was at Aspen Creek, so we were dying for a drink. when i looked up from getting a drink i saw a buckskin mare standing around. "Thistle look," i said lifting my head and pointing, "buckskinn mare."

Re: War Drum Flats


Thistle:
I lifted my head up from the cool water, I also saw her. "Should we go talk to her?" It was obvious but she seemed....lost. I thought "lost" was the right word.

Re: War Drum Flats



Bonfire:
i heard hoofbeats from afar... i turned to watch as what i soon discerned to be an Appaloosa stallion, a red roan mare, and a bluish grey mare came running for the watering hole. deciding to put on my very convincing little-mare-lost demeanor, i made my eyes huge, pawed the dirt indecisively, and hung my head. any time now... there, the stallion noticed me! he nudged the roan, and now she was looking at me too...
letting the facade drop, i went speeding over to them, a jet of alkali dust billowing in my wake. i'm very fast, very, ver, fast, and skidded to a stop across from the herd in the water, spraying them all in a mist of cool lakewater. "whi kight you be?" i asked, throwing my chin up coquetteishly.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

"my name is War Lord," i said bowing my head then i tilted my head from both mares standing besides me, "this Untamed Mystery and Thistle." i looked the buckskin over to make sure she would be approved by the Phantom. she looked just like Dark Sunshine another buckskin that the Phantom had in his herd once before. but now she lived on River Bend Ranch away from him. he still goes and visits her once in while. "my i, i mean we, have the honor of knowing your name?"

Re: War Drum Flats




Bonfire:
"it's a pleasure to meet you, Warlord, Thistle, and Untamed Mystery." i said sweetly. but, really, i was sizing up the two mares... where they lead mare material? cuz that position was MINE. "I am Sparks from the Bonfire, Bonfire for short, the fastest mare in the Calico range." of course, i hadn't always been here in the Calicos... i only just arrived, after my migration from Oregon, in the Kiger mountains. but that's another story. "What brings you here?" i asked like i owned the place.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

"i am searching for mares to enlarge my herd," i told Bonfire, "and its a pleasure meeting you." Bonfire must have supspected that Thistle or Untamed was my lead mare. but she didnt know that the other herd stallion already had a lead mare, Lark. "well if you are wondering who is the lead mare of the herd is, she is back in the secert valley with the Phantom," i didnt tell her that my and the Phantom were both herd stallions, in the same herd, but i wanted to see what she would say so i left that out.

Dixie Star:
I sighed and walked out of the brush. They'd all left me behind and I was lonely. I saw other horses and lept back into the brush hoping they hadn't seen me. Although I had a feeling they had.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


Untamed Mystery:

War Lord and Thistle took me to War Drum Flats. even though i had only known them for about 4 days now i still was caustious of them. when we had finally arrived at War Drum Flats we found a buckskin mare named Sparks from the Bonfire. she was pretty and i just stayed quiet behind Thistle and War Lord. when i heard a rustle from behind a bush, my ears perked forward. i looked over and saw another mare, but before i could get a good look at her she jumped back behind the bush. i nickered and my whole body began to shake. "War Lord," i said, "behind the bush." he walked over and looked behind it. while he looked behind the bush i stepped forward to Bonfire, "heyy Bonfire, would you like to join our herd?"


hotspot

Re: War Drum Flats



Bonfire:
"looking to enlarge your herd?" i asked, a sardonic smile etching itself across my face before i could stop it. "but the lead mare is back woth this 'the Phantom?'" a jointly operated herd? unconventional, yes, but that probably meant it had many members... many members to rule when i usurped the title of lead mare by grace and charm and wit. this Lark didn't stand a fighting chance. then, a rustle came from the bushes behind us...
and untamed mystery asked if i wanted to join the herd.
"i'll wait for War Lord to ask me, but i'm glad you offered," i said sweetly.

Re: War Drum Flats

Dixie Star:
I saw a stallion peek into the brush and backed in farther. I held my breath as he came closer and closed my eyes. I felt a puff of air on my muzzle and opened my eyes. There stood a stallion staring at me. I bolt past him and broke through the brush again. I saw his mares talking and kept going until I was a safe distance away. I stopped and turned watching them warily. The stood staring at me and I pushed air out of my lungs. "I am Dixie Star care taker of these flats. State your business." I said as brave as I could. I hoped they didn't see through me. Esspeacially the Buckskin mare. She seemed like she had something bothing her most of the time from what I could gather by looking at her.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

"i am War Lord, part owner with the Phantom and trying to enlarge my herd. this is Spark from the Bonfire, Untamed Mystery, and Thistle," i said pointing to the mares standing around me. "why do you seem so skiddish?"


hotspot

Re: War Drum Flats



Bonfire:
the poor mare, dixie star, was apparently intimidated by us. i decided to become her friend- because a girl needs friends when she's looking for a place of power. plus, Dixie Star seemed like a nice mare. "there's no reason to be," i said, giving her a smile.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

as i looked over Dixie Star, Bonfire went over and tried to comfort the mare. "heyy Bonfire, i have a question. would you like to join my herd?? and do you want to join mine too Dixie Star?" i asked the two mares.

Re: War Drum Flats


Thistle:
I felt excited with all the new mares around! Bonfire, Dixie star! The Phantom would be jelous because we probably had more! I pranced in place awaiting there answers.

Re: War Drum Flats


OOC: aren't the stallions going to "share" the mares that War Lord and Thistle find?

Bonfire:
it was about time! a herd of my own, at last! "I will if you will," i told Dixie Star, throwing an innocent glance in War Lord's direction.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


OOC: yea

War Lord:

as Bonfire asked Dixie Star to join the herd with her, i waited. i wanted both mares in the herd. they were both beautiful mares and be perfect for the herd.

Re: War Drum Flats


Dixie Star:
I sighed and nodded my head. "Okay I'll join but only if I have the freedom to do as I want some of the time." I said sending him a nervous smile. I looked at Bonfire and smiled sighing again.




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

"as you wish," i said to Dixie, i looked at Bonfire and smiled. i looked around the surroundings studying them. i felt as if a new mare had come into our presence and was finding.

Re: War Drum Flats


Artic Sun:

i walked up to War Drum Flats unseen or heard. but i knew that the black stallion was looking for me. i stepped forward flipped my mane from side to side. "howdy, my name is Artic Sun. what are yours?"


hotspot

Re: War Drum Flats



Bonfire:
i smiled fillyishly as Dixie Star decided to join the herd with me. "wonderful! where does your herd liv-" i was cut off by movement. a new mare, this one a dark grey, came into my line of vision. she said that her name was Arctic Sun. "I'm Sparks from the Bonfire, but Bonfire for short." i said sweetly, not wanting to be intimidating, as first impressions are lasting ones. and i would need some friends when it came time to overthrow this Lark mare. plus, who likes being lonely?




*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

i whipped around at the sound of a voice. it was a mare. i sighed in relief. i didnt want it to be a stallion. cus i didnt want to lose the group of mares i had gotten for the Phantoms and my herd. it felt akward having two stallions work together to keep twice as many mares. when i turned my attention back to the new mare, who said her name was Artic Sun, i stepped forward. "hi Artic Sun," i said in a squeaky voice that was a little to high pitched. the mare just swished her tail and giggled at me. "my name is War Lord." i looked around at the all the mares i had got. 1. Untamed Mystery 2. Thistle 3. Bonfire 4. Dixie Star and maybe 5. Artic Sun. 'wow im doing good,' i said in my head.

Rocky(Maddness):
I nipped hardly at her heels she was one of the stuborn mares that went against my will. We galloped fast and I snaked her toward the direction I wanted to go, she wanted to go the other way. Everytime I stopped she neighed loudly to some stallion I had never heard before. "War Lord. Who is he?" I asked her sternly. I had no time to play games I wanted MORE mares!

Re: War Drum Flats


Sophie:
I was between sadness and hatred. The first was because I hadn't seen War Lord in days since I had run away from his proposal to be in his herd. I was confused that day and just needed to think. I ran for a while away from that herd and decided quickly the answer was “YES” but before I could turn around I was stolen by this stallion.I hated him and called for War Lord. The stallion bit at my heels , my body was soar and tired from the running. In thought I lifted my head heavy with sadness and ahead I saw a mare. I feared he would see her so I stood inbetween his sight. It didn't last long when we both smelled the same thing more horses...it wasn't just the mare It was War Lord and my old herdmate Thistle along with multiple mares , including a buckskin (Bonfire), a smoky gray (Dixie), a grayish blue (Untamed) and cloudy gray(Artic Sun). I wanted soo much to be with War Lord but I didn’t want them to fight or put the other mares at risk.
(ooc: I know it's long but it ties in with the other thread!hopefully I won’t be playing Rocky for long -HINT HINT-hope I got everyones mares colors right (-:



*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

as i sniffed the air, i noticed a familar scent. Sophie? i had asked her awhile ago to be in my herd. she had run away and i had chased after her. i thought she wanted to be alone. so i let her be alone. when she hadnt returned i worried. where did the love of my life go? while all the other mares had found their stallions i stood there alone screaming for Sophie to return. i had gone hoarse(lol) from screaming. when i had finally given up i had went to Willow Springs Wild Horse Corrals to find another mare. all the time i had galloped to Willow Springs i had looked and searched for her. i had never found her. "Sophie??" i screamed. "Thistle stay here with the herd and watch them with your life," i commanded her. i galloped off after Sophie. she was standing there in the distance and i knew it was her. "Sophie," i cried a tear ran down my cheek. when a roan stallion stepped out from behind her i slid to a stop. "how could you!!" i yelled and i started bursting out in tears. "how could you Sophie!! i asked you, from the bottom of my heart for you to be in my herd and you ran off and now you are with this stallion?!?!?!" i didnt care that the mares from my herd were listening. i was betrayed and thought my heart was wripped out. "i had cried for you to return to me and give me an answer and here you are with this roan stallion!! i loved you Sophie and you betray me," i calmed down only a bit and cried right infront of her. i thought i could trust with my life and she was with this other stallion. UGH!!!!!

Re: War Drum Flats


Sophie:
I whinnyed when I saw him, which he seemed to ignore. Instead he came out with the way he was feeling I started to cry too. The world seemed to stand still as he looked at me teary eyed. But when I came back to reality the stallion that had taken me away stood firmly next to me. I wanted to bit him hard right on the neck for all the things he had done to me, but that would be a bad choice to do to such a cruel stallion. "It wasn't me-I wanted to go with you-" then the stallion cut me off saying something I couldn't quite hear. I started crying hard I really wanted to be with him if I could just tell him!


*PhantomStallion94*

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

as i stopped crying i looked at the stallion standing next to Sophie. he was big and muscular. i looked back at the herd behind me. "Artic Sun i want you to be the lead mare for now," i called to her. she nodded her head and took her postion. "ok Stallion," i said firming up, "if you havent figured out im War Lord and i will fight you for Sophie," i looked at her. she seemed glad. he eccepted my challenge and the fight began.

he lunged towards me first and i jumped out of his way. he wheeled back and again i dogded him. my herd cheered me on in the background and Sophie was just peachey keen about her finding me. when i got bored off just dodging and dodging the Stallion, i decided to give him what he deserved. i lunged at him and bit his neck on the edge of his mane. he squealed. he spun to get loose and i wouldnt let him. i let go off him and wheeled around. i launched my hind feet at him and 'WHACK!!' my hind hooves hit his shoulder. the fight went on and on. all the rage inside off me was going into this poor stallion. the Stallion hadnt hit me once and i wasnt planning on him hiting me. i reared up one last time, and i came smacking down on the roan stallion. he fell to the ground and didnt get up. i nodded my head to Sophie, "come on Sophie. lets get you home," she pranced over to me and we trotted back to my herd. "Artic Sun, before i forget, will you join our herd?" i asked. she had done a wonderful job off being the lead mare.

Artic Sun:

as War Lord went after another mare he must have known a fight broke out between him and a roan stallion. he told me to be lead mare for the time being and i did. when War Lord had won the fight and came trotting over with the bay mare Sophie. he asked me to be in his herd. "how could i refuse," i said tossing my head up. he nodded and said "i think that we had had enough excitement for one day. lets get home. Thistle if you please," the roan mare took off in the direction of where 'home' was. i just followed at a fluient gallop.

OOC: BACK TO THE VALLEY!!!!

Re: War Drum Flats


Bonfire:
i held my breath as War Lord fought another stallion over a bay mare... they just kept coming and coming. usually, i would have joined right in, since i love a good tussle, but i had to keep up appearances until i got in good with the entire herd. hence, i just cantered along quietly at the back, thinking about what i should do about the lead mare....

OOC: to the valley! allez, viens!

New Moon
I looked along the flats weeks later, searching for my mare, Sparks from the Bonfire. My eyes darted, we were never apart. I had been searching for a few days, and I wouldnt stop untill I found her...

Re: War Drum Flats


Dixie Star:
I watched the fight itching to help out but not wanting to become the outcast mare so quickly. I sighed when it ended and watched the roan stallion lay on the ground. I felt a tinge of pity for the poor guy then shrugged and trotted up to the group. They said something about going home and I tilted my head in thought. I hadn't left the valley in so long I didn't know if I could now. They cantered out and I stood staying behind fighting my fear of leaving my safe-haven.

Re: War Drum Flats


Bonfire:
wait a minute... we were missing someone. i looked back to see Dixie standing back in on the playa. "aren''t you coming?" i called to her from the ridge.

Re: War Drum Flats


War Lord:

as we galloped off Bonfire stopped and called to Dixie. i stopped and told Thistle to stop the herd. she did and i galloped to Dixie herding her back into the small band of mares.

Re: War Drum Flats


Dixie Star:
I layed my ears back going into the herd and took a deep breath as they started out again. I look at Bonfire. "Where are we going?" I questioned.

Re: War Drum Flats


Bonfire:
"wild horse valley, i presume!" i said. would War Lord turn out to be too pushy a stallion, treating mares like property instead of horses? i brushed the notion off... he didn't seem like the type at all.

Re: War Drum Flats


Dixie Star:
I felt my face twitch as the memory of him returned. I wondered if he was still there. My beloved Twilight Runner. He had been my very first stallion. And my first True love. He was still my true love. I just didn't know if I was his. I sighed and sped up to stay with the herd. We came into the valley and I saw a few other horses. I walked over sipping water from the cool pond. I watched a horse watching us thought about Twilight again. I then realized I was looking at one and the same. I gasped and whispered his name. He came foreward to hear what I'd and his eyes widened and he gasped also. "Dixie?" He questioned. I squealed and went to him.

OOC: I'm back finally!!!

Amarillo Rose:
I trot once again to War Drum Flats, I left for various reasons. Mostly everyone was so boring when I was there, and there was no stallions. I was hoping things had changed, maybe less mares more stallions.
My black shined in the sun, my mane flapped in the wind, I looked beautiful on the hill I stood upon. I looked down and saw a bunch of horses, more than there was last time.
I'll see who is here, I thought, if I don't like them I'll leave again.

"agreed. i'm so glad winter's over!" i exclaimed, prancing for joy. the sun was warm on my back, and the playa dazzling white beneath my feet. "will we ever ask other horses to join our herd?"

Re: War Drum Flats


New Moon

Our Herd...? My heart lept, that meant she had probably trusted me. Sweet!

" Exactly- winter was cold and harsh- I was over trying to get in the valley- but there was an avalanche." I shivered at the thought- yuck.

"Well, it's up to you, I mean; I wouldn't want you to be alone with no other mares."
I didn't want her unhappy either, but I didn't want to seem like a butt kisser.

Re: War Drum Flats



Bonfire:
i smiled sweetly at New Moon. he was so nice- some stallions were all about getting more mares, and didn't exactly care what the ladies themselves thought on the matter. i was certainly glad New Moon wasn't like this. "it doesn't matter to me- i've never been in a real herd before, besides the one i was born into, so i wouldn't really know what suits me best." i didn't add, as long as they don't steal you away from me.+

Re: War Drum Flats


New Moon *pic almost done....*

"I see- I've not really been so into collecting mares and battling for a pointless reason- I mean, mares aren't just there to be counted up." I sighed, I emerged into the small pond, splashing. I saw a small river leading to the deeper lake like area.

Re: War Drum Flats



i shrugged. "if a mare turns up, let's not refuse her, but i'm in no hurry to increase our number." i said. i followed New Moon out into the deeper part of the lake, until my feet couldn't touch the sandy floor any longer. i was swimming freely! i playfully splashed some water at New Moon.

Re: War Drum Flats

Re: War Drum Flats



Bonfire:
i smiled mischeviously. "wellllll, if you really want to leave it up to me, i say we go back to the Valley!" i exclaimed. the only other place where i knew of horses was Arroyo Azul- i had saw that stuck-up mare, Lark, and her herd going there after War Lord took the herd.
