Re: King Arhtur comes for only the strongest and bravest of mares that are docile

King Arthur~
Seeing that Almond Joy wasnt replying I turned my head to see both Millie and Vertiea come over and arrive at about the same time. I smile at both of them. I looked at Vertiea, and could tell she was sorry. Then I turn my eyes to Millie and smile small. My whole body seemed to almost visibly relax. For once everyone was okay with each other and no one was upset with another. Shaking my head I lower it to the grass and pull thoughtlessly. I wasnt really hungry, just needed something to do till we moved. Here right now would determine who was going and who would leave. I wouldn't choose anyone, I had come to decide......but let them decide if they wanted to come or not.

I caught his smile out of the corner of my eye, turning my head to catch the end of it and smiled back, seeing his body noticeably relax. I sighed softly, resting a hind hoof, my mind a turmoil. After the episode with Vertiea and the other stallion, along with the fact we may still be being hunted, I guessed we probably wouldn't be staying here much longer, and allowed my eyes to rove over the calm valley. King Arthur probably would not let the other stallion come along, and after their fight, Vertiea may decide not to. I shook my head, flicking my tail absently and staring off towards the towering, far-away mountains. I had traveled past many of them when I was younger... The memories of Ireland seemed to cone rushing back all at once, and those of England soon followed. I shooed the thoughts from my mind, knowing from experience it did no good to dwell too long in the past. What's done is done, and no matter how hard you try, you can't re-do it. "We aren't staying, are we?" I turn my head back to King Arthur as the question left me, looking at the other mares before returning my gaze to him.

Hidden~
I snort softly and look up when all the mares passed me and saw the maround Arthur. I didn't think much of it, and decided it was best to stay here. I smelled the crisp, cool night air creeping over the mountains and hills like a fog that hid deadly demons. I relaxed my eyes, there were no enemies. I then stretch my long, elegant leg out in front of me and rub my nose on it. The motion felt good and refreshing. I sighed and stood casually, my leg rested, and I was about to fall asleep again.

[grrrrr stupid brain disease, where are the dang doctors when you need them??!!! and haha about the whole exploding brain...at least you don't suffer through the anger of not being able to think of anything lmao]

(Sorry I haven't replied,my life is like a living nightmare..urgg )

Almond Joy's eyes flickered with a hint of rebellion as she switched her glare to Vertiea,the mare disgusted Joy.She could no longer bare to look at the mare,so she turned to Arthur."I completely understand."She snorted,her tone soft and friendly,though there was a hint of regret in her voice after she said that.Almond Joy didn't understand at all.Why would Arthur allow another stud in the herd,a potential threat.

Oh well,if King Arthur thought it was right,why would Almond Joy say it was wrong...so very wrong.But he was wrong before with the wolves,he could be wrong again,but that wasn't very likely I think.

King Arthur~
I shake my head to Millie's question, my eyes showing no regret either. "No, we are no longer staying. I can no longer afford to put all of you in danger." My voice held a an almost angry tone as I referred to both the wolves, and possibly more stallions coming. Snorting I lift my head from the grass and toss it lightly towards the dark royal blue sky. It was starting to become night. I would relay the plan to them and then leave in the break of dawn. Choices had to be made tonight, I decided silently. Looking over at Almond Joy I smile apreciatively (sp). Though most wouldn't know why I let the stallion join, when we arrived at the castle they would come to realize. By wanting to join, the young stud unknowingly put himself up as a knights horse. He wouldn't always be with us, but neither would some of the mares when they weren't pregnant. The knights needed horses, and I and my band were the one's to provide them with such strong horses.

Shaking my head again, I turn my eyes to Almond Joys and smile.

Hidden~
I sigh inwardly and toss my long, flowing white mane. I lift my forehoove and jump forward, trotting in a tight circle out of boredom. I widen my circle, and speed up to a canter. Doing the same, I speed up to a gallop. Finally, I jump forward with lots of energy and run across the meadow length-wise. I snort when I reach the end and turn quickly around, then turn in a circle, counter clockwise, and skid to a grinding halt. My beige chest heaved and the moonlight shined off my gently glazed body because of the thin layer of sweat that rested on my body. I snort and lower my head to the ground, ripping the grass out and chewing the sweet roots.

[Guest]

Flair ~ I raised my head and looked at Arthur, I had finally calmed down and smiled gently. I wondered if it was because I missed being a war horse... I grazed, but only picking at the old blades of grass, allowing the younger one to grow. I raised my head watching the other stallion run around, but then returned to grazing...

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

~Vertiea~
I turned my head slightly to the right and glared at Hidden, i snort ruthlessly at Joy and groweld slightly... I didnt care uch for her, she disgusted me. I listened to Arthur speak and nodded, pulling my massive head to the sky adn watching the stars dapple the night sky, i smeeled the cool, fresh, and night sky air, as it flowed around me... I switched my glare at Hidden then Arthur, i smiled.... Flicking my tail with unease at Joy and snorting ruthlessly at her.... I sneered in sheer disgust at her.... Pawing the ground as i snort, dust fell up, and i made a huge hole in the earth floor, destroying the grass that lied there....

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

[• Echo]

Thanks.



Millie
I dip my head slightly, nodding to him, my mind flickering to the stallion. There was no doubt in my mind that he would not be coming with us, wherever it was we were going. I wanted to ask King Arthur where we were going to go now, but I figured he would have other things on his mind. Extending a foreleg before me, I lower my head to rub one side of my small, Arabian head on it. Lifting my head again, I caught Arthur's eye, letting him know that when he had a moment, I wanted to talk. It seemed all the others had by now, and I was starting to become a bit more curious about King Arthur and his past, about where we were going to go and what was going to happen next.

[Guest]

King Arthur~
Seeing the way Vertiea responded to Almond Joy, I wait till I catch her eye before I let out a low whicker and shake my head. Licking my lips I look away from her and barely catch Millie's look as I turn my gaze to the valley. Quickly I shift my gaze back to her and give her a questioning glance before I turn my attention to the stallion. Lifting my head I let out a quiet whinny and toss my head. The whites of my eyes showed some as I watched him.

[Faye]

Almond Joy's head whipped around to a splash in the stream.There was nothing there.Joy jogged casually over to investigate.Looking into the water Joy discovered an odd looking thing.It had two fuzzy ears poking out of the skull,two gigantic,warm,brown eyes,two nostrils with a bit of red lining visible.A large tuft of hair was sticking out between the two fuzzy brown ears.It looked like the other horses..Oh My GOSH!! It was just her reflection...but what was that large splash.Looking deeper into the water Joy discovered an strange,alien-like creature.It had two fins poking out of the sides,gills,two eyes..but the weirdest part was that it had NO LEGS or ears.Almond Joy decided to investigate this mysterious creature further.She shoved her velvety muzzle into the icy cold water and shoved the fish,making it dart away behind weeds and such.

Almond Joy cringed at the feeling of the fish.It was slimy,slippery and unlike anything that she had ever felt before..strange..

King Arthur~
Sighing I raise my head and decide to announce my decision, ears pricked I nicker first for their attention. "I have decided to finally get you all to my home. All of you are free to come," I pause and look at the young stud. Though my strong instincts firmly rebelled at even the thought of him coming, he had no where to go. He might as well become a use to the knights that were at the castle. "including you, young stallion." Then I turn my head and flick my gaze from one mare to the next. "You all, also have the choice to leave if you like. In the morning I will be starting the trek back to my homeland. And like I said, all of you may come. If not, I guess we will seperate our ways in the morro." My voice was strong and clear as I spoke, but a kind look shone in my eyes and my posture that of gentleness.

(Faye and I believe its either Echo or Mercy, I need to speak with about your stallions that are in Whispering Flats)

[Faye]

(Uhh..I'm sorry I'm just really confused.Come again? )

[Guest]

[Faye]

(Umm OKAY..lol I'll just wait for the others to post,,)

The topic with me you and Raven?


Millie
I shake my head slightly, letting my head drop lower, eyes slipping shut. I breathed out a soft sigh of content, flicking my tail as the wind ruffled over my coat and mane. Just as I was pondering laying down and falling asleep, feeling exhausted from the long day and life-changing events, when King Arthur's voice broke through my concioisness. I flicked my eyes open, lifting my head up, my muzzle had nearly been touching the ground, and looked back at him as he spoke, instantly becoming alert again, though sleep tugged at my mind. My eyes moved past him and around through the other mares as he spoke to us, uncertainty clouding my thoughts. I had no idea where his path would take us or who he even was. But all the other mares had spoken to him and seemed to trust him, and his aura he gave off was that of kindness. I sighed softly, closing my eyes. He would leave in the morning. I would make my decision then. Opening my eyes, I walked a few feet away from the others, not so far as I would be in danger of predators, looking for a place to lay down for the night. Finally satisfied with a soft bed of deep, knee-height grass, I fold my legs beneath me, curling my head and neck around over my legs. My body relaxed as I closed my eyes, and after a few moments, my breathing steadied and evened out as I slipped into uncounciousness.

Misty
I see king auther walk over to the stream then call to all of us mares to join him, as I start to make my way over to where he was I see almond joy go at it with the new stud, I sigh she was nice maybe alittle bossy but I oculd tell she ment well, I keep walking over to where I could see some mares and king auther start to gather near the stream I nicker softly to millie as I come up to her right shoulder and nugde it gently ibn a loving manner, then as I look up I see king auther look at me I smile lovingly at him, even though I hadn't known him for long I knew he would keep us all safe and. With his and my bloodlines put together there would soon be royal blooded foals roaming the lands again, as I hear him answer that we aren't staying cause of the danger I sigh and say " alright I trust you" letting him know that I was with him a hundred percent
( sorry I'm sooo late my parents took my computer from me for 2 weeks)

[Guest]

Flair ~ I smiled as Misty approached a nuzzled Millie, I though about the past few days and lifted up my hoof that had been bitten, there was no pain in it surprisingly. I walked over to the river that cut through the landscape and walked, laying down the water gliding across my back and sent a small chill through my body. I closed my eyes and thought about my past, maybe it was time for me to let go of the guilt and look towards my future. Most of the mares were freindly, I was still unsure about the newest stallion, but I trusted Arthur with my life. I sniffed still smelling the pack of wolves, but they were miles off, probably too scared to attack us, at least for a while. I drank some of the water before standing up and walking to the river bank.

I agreed moving as soon as possible was a good idea, especially since the Wolves were not the only things hunting us, most likely the blood from the earlier battles had drawn more preditors into the area and they had followed our scent. I looked around me, something caught my eye, a small shine. I looked back to the others and decided to go and see what it was. After a short while I reached the location of the light and saw a man, a young knight to be exact.

He groaned and looked up, his dead horse laying across one leg. I snorted in his face and he stroked my face, his touch was kind, but weak and I knew then I had to help him. I pushed the horses lifeless of him and knelt down at his side, he knelt up and unfastened the bridle of the dead horse and put it onto me. I could tell he wasn't strong enough to ride just holding onto my mane. He slid onto my back and I helped him with my head. I stood and began the short journey back to the others. I walked though, as I had noticed the crossbow bolt in the side of his chest and didn't want to hurt him if possible. I whinnyied as loud as I could, calling the others. I arrived back at the river and crossed...

King Arthur~
I could sense that Millie was tired. Not only did her body speak of it, but her eyes also showed it. A quiver of a smile showed for a moment on my face but then disappeared again as I saw her body visibly relax and fall into a deep sleep. Nickering lowly I turn my attention to Misty, who was now speaking. I had barely caught her loving smile and trustfull eyes before she spoke. Reaching over I gently nuzzle her shoulder, then draw back. My light silver forlock fell over my face as I turned to see what was moving in the corner of my eyes.

Once my head was fully turned I see that it had been Flair getting up out of the water and now getting a drink. Ears flicking forward, my brown eyes watched her. All these mares were good and kind. All had wonderful personalities. Sighing I close my eyes for a bit to relish in my thoughts...

Upon reopening them I startlingly discover that Flair was gone. Instantly my head raises in alarm. Looking around I snort softly, but a bit loud. I had smelt the wolves earlier, but knew they were not even thinking of attacking. Licking my lips I turn my body towards the direction I had last seen Flair and let out a loud worried whinny. Tossing my head up and down quickly before becoming rigidly still in wait of a response. I listened for about five minutes and had still heard nothing when I decided to prance forward a few more feet. Stretching out my head I take in a deep breath and sift through all the different scents until I found hers. But it was of no comfort being it was an older scent. Shaking my head I let out another whinny, this one a bit quieter though.

Finally! I heard her whinny! Tucking my head to my chest, I rear slightly before bolting forward and then smoothing out into a graceful gaited trot. Flagging my tail I prick my ears and untuck my head as I get closer to her... Though soon curiousity creeps into my thoughts the closer I get to her...for there was a different scent accompanying hers... Human! My thoughts screetched as I suddenly recognized it.. But not only was it human, it was one that I faintly remembered.

Now a bit worried I hasten my pase (sp) to a rocking canter and reach her withing seconds. Sliding to a stop and turning parralel to her I trot beside her and study the young man. Extending my muzzle I sniff his head and gently nip at his dirty blonde hair. The muscles twitched and quivered with each of my movements as I trotted lightly beside Flair. Nickering I toss my head and then trot faster until I bring my head level with hers. The tips of my mane and tail caught in the wind and blew back gently as the cold night showed itself.

My brown eyes looked over to Flair and I reached over and gently bumped her cheek curiously. "Are you alright?" I asked softly, my deep voice full of concern.

(Sorry guys I've been really sick lately. Though I will do my best to get on more often!!)

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

~Vertiea~
She stood there blackly and just lowered her head to graze, she didnt know if she wanted to go, but she will decide.. Cautiously Vertiea made her way toward the top of the hill, and looked to the sky, a tear rolled down her face, adn she then turned her head to wipe the side of her face... Vertiea turned away and trolted down to the rest and bobbed her head a few times before walking over to Arthur " Arthur, i will love to come with you..." I said and waited for his reaction or responce....

[redhead14]

Misty
I sigh as he nuzzles my shoulder and relax knowing we all would soon be home. I see and can feel king authur grow restless over flair then after he let's a loud whinny out I hear flair I prick my ears in her direction as king auther rans to meet her. A new scent floods my nose that I hadn't smelt in along time. It was the scent of a human. I trot closer to flair and authur but still aways off then I see a young knight on flairs back I prick my ears and flair my nostrals as. I see the human start to move alittle on her back. I start to back up next to millie and whinny to king authur to see if it was safe to come closer
