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

My eyes flew open as a whinny split through the air and I lifted my head. Snorting quietly, I shake my head slightly as I extend my forelegs before me and pull myself to my feet. Flicking my tail, I shake my body free of dirt and dead grass that clung to my coat. Off a ways, I see Flair walking towards us, King Arthur running to meet her. Misty started to back up towards me and I tossed my head slightly, ears pricked forward, nostrils widened as the familiar scent of a human fills my nasal passages. Tail lifted slightly, neck arched gracefully in the proud fashion Arabians were well known for, I whinny quietly, ears pricked forward.

King Arthur~
I nicker my reply to them. It was perfectly safe. Again I turn my delicate head and nose the injured man. Peering back down the path Flair had come, I spot the dead mount just before it was cut from my view by the gentle curve of the path.

(sorry so short)

[redhead14]

Misty
As I hear king arthur whinny its safe, I slowly walk over to flair king arthur and the human, I gently sniff at him and back up when the human starts to move and make sounds. I look over towards the fallen mount then back at king arthur and the other mares " do you think its safe to be here still, what if whatever came after them comes after us" I say softly as I listen for any unusual sounds that might not belong here

[Guest]

Flair ~ It felt weird having a human on my back again, but it felt right. When Arthur looked at him I saw the look in his eye that meant he recognised the young knight. I flicked my ears to Misty's voice and nickered. " I agree, whatever it was obviously didn't care if they killed the mount as well as the rider. And we need to get him some help.." I looked to arthur and a small smile. " I'm sorry if I worried you.."

[Guest]

King Arthur~
I smile small and nudge her neck. "It's alright." I say slowly then turn my attention to the boy again. "I'm glad you found him" My voice was quiet. Raising my head high and pricking my ears, I let out a loud neigh. "Gather round!"

(lol its alright. mine are probably going to be kinda short for awhile also.. I have so much homework to do I cant even crack a friggin joke about it lol)

[redhead14]

Misty
I walk softly closer to king arthur so that I was stabdibg by his side I let a gently sigh escape my lips as I wait for the other mares to come closer I lovingly lick his should and smile at him then I whinny to millie and nicker to flair my eyes flicker to the human every now and them

[Faye]

Almond Joy~


Ears pricked attentively and nostrils flaring I walked cautiously up towards the group,my body stiff and tense.The smell of blood caused tremors to travel down my spine.I peaked over the heads of the others to see the motionless body upon Flair's back,instantly my ears flicked back and my teeth were bared in a nasty grimace.It was human, ick.Just thinking of one of those monsters made me want to puke.I snapped my maw threateningly at the motionless man,my body trembling with fear.You see unlike most of these horses I was never a war horse,I was merely just a wild mustang my whole life.Occasionally being shot at by weapons from man or being chased down made up my history.I couldn't trust these monsters..they had done me too much wrong.Hurriedly I began to back away,the whites of my eyes clearly visible.

( Sorry that I haven't been on in like a week or two..just busy.. D= )

Millie
I tossed my head slightly, ears pricked forward. Whickering back quietly to Misty, I begin walking forward, my shoulder feeling stiffer than before, so I walked a bit slower, trying hard not to limp though each step was filled with pain. Turning my head slightly to watch Almond Joy walking towards the group. She stopped, her body tremblin and, as I came closer, I saw that the whites of her eyes were showing, clearly distressed. Pausing, I pull my head up short, watching, unsure of what to do for a moment. Stepping closer so I was in her range of sight, I whicker comfortingly to her, unsure of what was causing her to act this way; I knew little to nothing of her history.

[Guest]

King Arthur~
Seeing that most of them had gathered around. I raise my head visibly higher. "An...unexpected occurance has come up. I will be leaving tonight." Though I said tonight, it was more in the middle of the night. Getting closer and closer to the coldest part of the night. Shivering a little bit I lick my lips and continue. "I know I have not been able to have a formal talk with some of you. I would understand if you did not wish to accompany me, though I would be greatly saddened." I say strongly, but somehow a hint of remorse crept into my voice. "Choose your path now, for it is now that our paths either seperate or go down the same road." As I step forward I flick my tail. The silver colour catching the moon light and shining brightly.

[Guest]

Flair ~ I looked at all the others and gave a small smile to all of them, I looked to arthur.. " I made my decision a while back, I will stay by your side through thick and thin.." I said nuzzling his side, I looked at the human on my back, he was getting worse. I nudged his leg trying to keep him awake, I looked at Joy and saw the panic, anger and possibley even fear in her eyes. " He will not harm you..." I said to her, I knew it was probably of little comfort to her, but it was worth a try. I slid my tongue over the bit in my mouth, still getting acostomed to it, it had been a long time since I had, had one in my mouth. The human spoke up which made me jump slightly, his voice was young and shaking slightly. " Thank You..." I think he sensed the fear of Joy and a few others and went onto say " You have nothing to fear of me, I will do you no harm.." He gently patted me on the neck, but it was a pat that was meant for all of us, if you get what I mean. I nickered to the others...

[redhead14]

Misty
I smile at all the mares then I look up at king arthur with my warm kind eyes " I will stay with you as long as you wish" I say with a smile and lovingly nip his shoulder. I see how almond joy reacts to the human it was alittle surprising but I understood it was because she was and always has been wild. I nicker to her to calm her alittle. As I hear the young man speak it brought back fond memories of my wonderful lord and lady that took care of me for many years till the day the war had come

[Guest]

King Arthur~
I nicker softly and smile. "Good." My voice had a happy tilt to it as I speak to both Flair and Misty. Hearing the young mans voice, my deep rumbling nicker rises as I pivit and raise my muzzle to his cheek. Nuzzling him softly I press against him. His familiar scent floating up my sensitive nasal passages, my memories flowing with it...... Just before I had reared up and galloped away from the distraught (sp) group of people, the sight of the young prince clenching his mothers legs caught my eyes. Days before and many times before that his father the King had brought him out to my stall and set him upon my broad back. The King opening my stall door and leading me around using just his voice. The boys small confident legs straddling my sides and his strong little hands clentching fist fulls of my long silver mane.... Both the Kings joyous laughter and the young prince's rang in my head as the memory faded away.

I pricked my black ears forward, listening respectfully to King Arthur's deep, strong voice as he invited us all tocome with him. Misty and Flair both seemed to instantly agree with him, and I couldn't help but notice the way most of these mares here to be able to hold some much love and adoration in not only their voices but their actions as well for him. I again I could feel my doubts rising up inside me, my fears whispering quietly in my ears, and I could feel my body start to tremble slightly. I shake my head slightly, sighing softly to myself, more unsure as to what I would do as I had ever been before. King Arthur seemed to be a kind, loyal stallion, but was there any way to know about him for sure? To know about the other mares? The only one who I had actually had a decent talk with so far was Misty, and she had showed me so much kindness and concern that it was hard to not like her, and so I didn't fight my instincts when it came to her. Inhaling deeply, I look at Almond Joy, Flair, and Misty, before my gaze settled on King Arthur and I took a step forward.

"Perhaps," I begin, " I travel with you. Before we get there, then could I decide truly whether to go the rest of the way with you all?". My voice was clear and melodic, and I looked at King Arthur fully in the eyes. The longing to be back in a stable, to feel the hands of a trusted rider caressing my neck, taking such care when it came to adjusting my tack and making certain everything fitted as it should, was so deep and powerful that I knew if I were to start the trek there, it would be difficult for me to turn back, but something in me told me this was right, and I didn't want to fling chances away because I was merely too afraid to reach out and take it then hold on.

(I'll wait for Faye)

Almond Joy~

Their words and whickers provided me with little comfort,once a safe distance away I froze;My body still as stone and my eyes flickering from horse to man."Wha-what is he doing here?"I asked softly,my voice shook. For a moment my eyes glanced in the solitude of the forest..away from man.At that moment I realized that if I stayed here with King Arthur and the other mares that meant I would encounter more of these men.I shook my head slightly,not knowing whether to respond yes or no."I will come,but I refuse to give in them."I spat the words with such disgust in my voice it seemed as if I was speaking of a forcer,or wolves.

-bump?-

[Guest]

King Arthur~
"Very well." I say to both. My concerned eyes solely for the young human man upon Flair's back... I wondered if he recognized me or not? Nickering softly I dip my head and prance forward leading the way. Once the general direction was established I would let the mares lead the way while I circle the troupe (sp?) and keep an eye out for danger.

(sorry so short. these cna classes are draining my thought process lol)

[redhead14]

Misty
As we start to head out towards king arthurs home land, I watch the mares around me and I sgh being content with what seemed to be my new herd mates. I walked beside millie most of the way with the accanional(sp?) Glances over at flair and the young human boy. I was worried for him and felt like I had known him from some where before. I hadn't told king arthur yet or even knew if he knew that this wasn't the first time we've met. I drop back alittle ways along side king arthur and smile at him " you know the young human boy don't you" I say softly as I look him in the eyes

[Faye]

Almond Joy~

Snaking my head into the air agressively at the motionless man I snapped at the air before trotting up to King Arthur's side.I jogged slowly at his side occasionally glancing over my shoulder at the man.I didn't trust him..
Being by Arthur's side caused me to feel slightly safer,I knew if the man pulled out a gun he would protect me..but if he didn't I would have to dispose of the enemy myself.I rolled my eyes with irritation.Couldn't my herdmates see that this man was evil;as were all the others,once we reached our destination bad things would occur,I was sure of it.

[• Echo]

Millie
My neck was arched in the crest, tail lifted and waving behind me like a banner, legs lifting high in a smooth, slow jog as I settled in pace beside Flair and the unconscious knight. I snorted, shaking my mane slightly, muzzle at her flank as I kept pace with the others easily. I examined the young knight slung over Flair's back, occasionally reaching out with my muzzle to steady him. I was aware of Almond Joy dropping back towards King Arthur, glancing back as Misty did the same and retreated from my side. Lifting my head up high, I studied the landscape that we travelled through, ears pricked forward, tail docked high.

[Guest]

Flair ~ I moved along at a steady pace, trying not to hurt him anymore. I smiled as Millie nuzzled me.. I said gently " I'm sorry if I haven't been very or seemed very freindly, it's just I've been alone for so long and had to rely on me and no one else...that being in a herd seems weird to me.." I nuzzled her when she got close enough.

Young boy ~ I listened to their nickers and looked around to the others, I knew the stallion and one of the mares seemed familiar. I was thankful that the mare beeath me had found me and the others had been tolerant enough to let me ride along with them. I raised my uninjured arm and pulled of my helmet revealling my face. I tossed the helmet gently away to the side away from the horses.

OOC ~ Sorry I haven't been on, my internet went down all week

[Guest]

(Haha its okay)

King Arthur~
My body moved with grace and ease as I picked up the pace to a gentle trot. Flicking my tail I toss my head towards the black star dappled sky and let out a snort. The leaves crunched and rustled beneath our hooves then soon gave way to grass again as we entered a meadow. Ears pricked and head held high, I slow the pace to a fast walk. Going over towards Flair, I look up at the boy. As I had suspected...it was Crixus. Again my low rumbling nicker rose within my deep chest as I lifted my muzzle and nosed his leg closest to me.

[Guest]

OOC ~ I'll wait for one of the others to post and do you want to play him now he has a name, or shall I ?

[redhead14]

Misty
My coat looking as whita and pure as snow as the moon reflects its light off of it. My beautiful mane flow in slivery ripples over my shoulder as I gracefully glide over the earth as we head to king arthurs homeland. Out of the conor of my eye a catch a silver thing role off to the side of us, I look towards the young human boy and fanilly see his face it brought memories flooding back he was the young boy that always played with my lord and ladys youngest daughter rosalin. Not long before the war rosalin and crixus had met at their secret place, rosalin always took me to meet him when I was younger. Them loved each other very much, but I hadn't seen her in over 3 years. As we come to a meadow I watch king arthur go over to the boy and nuzzle his leg closest to him I smile and walk slowly over to king arthir and the boy. I whicker softly as I get closer as to let them know that I was near them.
( sorry its not a good post my brain is dead)

[Guest]

(You can play Crixus, for Flair will have a different rider. As some of you know I have set up the topic in Sheer Cliff Platue. We can go there now. So when you post your replies, post them there for now)
