A day with 2 lazy bums
- How Siren got herself into this, she still doesn't know but now, she, Adrastus and Ice are running away from a mountain lion. It was a fine morning at the stables, everything was just how it should be. However, Adrastus thought it would be great to go out for some fresh air once in a while. That wasn't something you hear everyday since Adrastus was known to be lazy. And who better to bring along than Siren, a terribly shy and quiet mare and Ice, another fellow lazy bum. Ice didn't put up much of a fight and thus, the three were off. An introvert and two lazy bums.
They were headed towards the meadow in the forest a little off the trail. When they got there, Ice immediately laid down and rolled around before just staying put, laying on his side. Adrastus also did the same. Siren was a little shocked but didn't say anything.
"You should lie down too, Siren. The grass is great." Ice said.
"I-I'll just graze." She said sheepishly before heading a little further away from them.
"She's adorable." Adrastus shackled, causing Ice to chuckle in agreement as well.
The two rolled around and laid peacefully amongst the grass as butterflies fluttered over and the sunlight peeping through the tall trees. Everything was great. However, it wasn't long before Adrastus felt something off.
"Hey Ice...I'm getting a bad feeling." Adrastus said.
"Yeah? Probably that apple you ate last night." Ice snorted.
"Not that. I mean, I feel like we're being watched. My prey instincts are tingling." Adrastus retorted.
"Hm...now that you mention it, the air had grown still for a while and it is rather odd. Alright. Let's leave." He said before getting up.
"Let's go, kiddo. Adrastus said so." Ice called out to Siren.
The mare heard and trotted back from the corner of the meadow where she was grazing. However, as soon as she turned her back, a shadow lunged at her from behind. Siren immediately panicked and reared, sending to flying off. All three turned and looked at the mountain lion who was snarling at them.
"Well Adrastus, you have your answer. That's what has been spying on us." Ice joked.
"Now isn't the time!! Come on, let's help Siren." Adrastus sighed.
The two stallions quickly ran up to Siren's sides and reared up before stomping the ground in order to frighten the mountain lion. Siren did the same but after reading and a few false swipes from the big cat, it shows slowly starting to gain confidence and isn't fleeing anytime soon.
"This is getting a teeny bit tiring. I want to sleep." Ice said.
"Ice!!" Adrastus sighed. "We'll have to flee, the mountain lion isn't backing down. Get ready."
With that, Adrastus bravely ran forward, turned around and landed a powerful kick at the mountain lion, which only angered it more.
"Time to book it." Ice said.
The three quickly made their way out the forest and headed towards the barn. The paddock was in sight.
"Oh hey Adrastus, Ice, Siren." Allure smiled at the approaching three.
"Allure look, we're being chased." Ice said plainly.
Allure gave a questioning look but then saw the mountain lion behind them. She let out a high-pitched whiny, drawing the attention of all Khims present. All looked at what she was panicking about and quickly gathered.
"We'll have to scare it off!" Knight said as all the Khims gathered.
The three leapt over the fence and all the Khims proceeded to rear and stomp the ground. With the intimidating number, the mountain lion fled. Ice and Adrastus were unscathed and Siren got off with a few scratches, nothing serious. The vet cleared her and she was good to go.
"Well that was interesting." Ice said nonchalantly.
Adrastus just shook his head in disbelief at Ice's underwhelming reaction throughout.
