The Wild Horses of Utasia V.2 - Not Accepting.

[Tigermay]

This is it boys,
This is war.
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?

~xX The Intentions of Shetan Xx~

Shetan smiled to himself, a small smile, curling the corners of his mouth in a way that made you think he had a lovely secret. His ears unpinned themselves for a moment to listen to the sweet sound of his daughter's echoing, retreating hoofbeats. His light blue eyes caught how the filly angled her body back towards her old herd. Taking this as his chance to finish business, Shetan quickly plunged forward to cut off Adelita with dirt spraying from his hooves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it,
Don't push me, I'll fight it.
Never gonna give in,
Never gonna give it up, no.

~xX Herne's Shakil Xx~

Shakil kept his brow quirked and his head over her back as she gently ripped up grass. "I'll count myself extremely lucky," he promised the mare, rubbing his face on her back now. The buttermilk buckskin then came her a final nudge before joining her in grazing on the emerald blades.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once upon a time somebody ran,
Somebody ran away saying,
'Fast as I can, I got to go, I got to go.'
Once upon a time we fell apart.

~xX Xanthos Xx~

Xanthos had spun and launched off, looking for Galaxy behind her. As he told her his name, she slowed for a moment to swivel her ears back to listen to his young voice. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw his stubby black mane flash as he flung his head about. She responded to his playfulness, kicking up her heels and snapping her tail sharply.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rising from the ashes,
You spread your wings to fly,
Reaching out now for those final dreams.
Belief will never die.

~xX Velvet Sun Xx~

Vela's intense gaze did not miss Isis returning. Her head snapped around as she tracked the young mare, mane swaying with her sudden movements. The pulsing, blood colored haze pushed at her vision, now also causing a pounding in her head. Attack, attack. That was what was being drummed over and over in her head. She didn't trust herself right now, or she would've been by her filly's side a long time ago. Dawn might've been able to help calm her dam down, but there was also a possibility that in this state Vela would find her annoying. She finally and forcefully closed her eyes and tried to not pay attention to the scents and noises wheeling around her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out,
'Cause I will never impress you.
I just wanna feel ok again.

~xX Casting Shadows Xx~

Cast glanced over at Cavalia, eyes darting back and forth with shyness. "So Cavalia, what was my mother like when she was young?" She asked, eager to keep this talk going. The sun was hiding behind a few clouds, dappling their coats. Where the sun hit, her coat was warm and where her coat was in shadow it was normal and even cool. A light breeze was playing across Utasia, spreading the smells of middle-late spring about.

Adelita skidded to a halt when she was cut off. The mare snorted with pinned ears as she stared at the stallion in front of her. She knew that she was basically corned and she did want to get out of this situation alive and check in Advocate. "What do you want?" she shot towards him, her tone shocking herself but not visible to Shetan.

----------- ------------ ------------

Cheeska did not hide her smile. She watched him from the corner of her eye as she continued to grass. She was actually pretty happy at the moment and nothing seemed to be ruining it this time around. She finally had her fill of grass and ended up rolling in it to rid herself of a itch.

----------- ----------- ------------

Deacon kicked out at the newcomer, his sister to be precise. He continue to snake Adara, hoping to get this easier than trying to get Vela hyped up. If not, he'd be back next time around with more thought. The stallion was the same age as Isis but larger, having gained more mascular traits than the mare due to her gender.

------------ ------------ ------------

Relic had his head rested across his mother's back, dozing in the sun. The stallion was surprising still within his father's herd. He opened his eyes and that same yearning to leave hit him again. With flared nostrils, he removed his head off the mare's back and turned away from her and his birth herd, walking straight to his father, deciding he had overstayed to long.

This is it boys,
This is war.
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?

~xX The Intentions of Shetan Xx~

Shetan's secret smile grew wider as the mare put up a spunky front. His one ear flopped about, while his right was pricked attentively towards her. "Take a guess," he sneered, stomping a striped hoof at some flies. "I have a two for one deal, tick off your father and get a foal. Can't think of a better combo — for me at least," The black appaloosa's voice fell back from its mocking tone to a nonchalant drawl. Then without hesitation he stalked up to her side, his smile wide enough to be considered a grin. He took a single deep breath then nudged her hindquarters while bright eyes focused on her face.

Rambo's eyes were guarded as his bay son approached him. Raising his head from the tender grass of spring, he was unsure if his son would go willingly or would ask to stay longer. He doubted the second option, but still prepared for either answer from Relic. "Yes, Relic?" He asked, voice deep with the wisdom he had learned over his years. The wild bay's forelock fell into his eyes for a moment, aided by the breeze.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[eleutheromania]

Adelita glared at him. The two year old tensed when her hindquarters were touched. Oh, yes this would tick her father off pretty badly, along with her mother who had no liking of Shetan either. "Don't expect you'll be welcomed to see it either." she explained. She referred to it as a 'it' without really caring, she wasn't sure if she was even ready to care for a foal, let alone deal with anyone after this. Her permission was giving through behavior, Adelita wasn't much of a fighter to begin with.

----------- ----------- ------------

Relic's voice had deepened with age, though it was nothing compared to Rambo's. the stallion still needed the experience to be out there off on his own. He gave the stallion a affectionate touch on his neck before speaking. "I've stayed far to long and luckily you allowed me to stay. I thank you for that, though now I am leaving. Ill gain nothing from sticking around any longer." he said to his father.

----------- ----------- -----------

Galaxy lengthened his strides and soon caught up to her. He tapped her neck with his muzzle. "Gotcha." he said to her and veered to the left.

[Ariana Black]

Shadow watched the foals silently.

Isis screamed in fury and lashed out at Deacon. "Leave my mother alone!"

Adara kicked out at Deacon. "MARVEL!" she screamed.

Cavalia sighed. "To be perfectly honest your mother was a snob and a brat. She thought she was better than everyone and looked up to her father as an idol."

[Who is Relic's dad again?]

[eleutheromania]

(Rambo )

[Ariana Black]

[ok]

[Tigermay]

This is it boys,
This is war.
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?

~xX The Intentions of Shetan Xx~

Shetan chuckled at her comment. "Being welcomed is one thing, another is my ability to come and visit." He commented, although he probably wouldn't show up to bother the family again for a year or two after this. But Marvel would never be far from his thoughts as the appaloosa ran around causing trouble.
~Fades to Black~
With his mission complete, Shetan gave the mare his customary quick nuzzle before he decided to beat a retreat. After all, whatever had called Isis back would not distract her forever. Little did he know that his colt was the one carrying on his work in annoying Marvel and his herd. Without so much as an extra glance at Adelita, he launched off, satisfied with the work he'd done this spring. This was when he would normally ask himself what he should do the rest of the year, but then he remembered. He had a mare now and so, he turned and began to return to Ruby.

Rambo's eyes lost their guarded walls and became twinkling with pride. "I'll have to agree, Relic. Good luck out there," he told his son, returning his nudge. "Might want to get a jump on it though, spring isn't going to stay around forever." As he spoke, he looked over at his mares, a large smile creeping across his face. He was happy, and while he didn't have the biggest herd around, he still felt he was living a very successful life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once upon a time somebody ran,
Somebody ran away saying,
'Fast as I can, I got to go, I got to go.'
Once upon a time we fell apart.

~xX Xanthos Xx~

Xanthos huffed, opening her mouth to complain. He left too quickly for her to rebuke him though, so she just ran after him like her tail was on fire. However, she had not gone at such a frantic pace before and ended up falling, skidding towards Galaxy almost in the same fashion he'd run into her when they first met.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rising from the ashes,
You spread your wings to fly,
Reaching out now for those final dreams.
Belief will never die.

~xX Velvet Sun Xx~

Vela groaned, glaring after Isis, Adara, and Deacon. Seriously? They can't take him. Grumbling about how she had just gotten control of the red haze, she turned. The rabicano zeroed in on the three as they thundered along and shouted to one another. She took off, soon full out galloping after them. It was one of the last things she wanted, for Haven was now alone with their foals. If another stallion came along, attracted by this commotion... She shut her eyes momentarily, pushing herself faster so she could help put this colt in his place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out,
'Cause I will never impress you.
I just wanna feel ok again.

~xX Casting Shadows Xx~

Cast sighed, bobbing her head in sad agreement. "She was the same then? Not too surprising I suppose, but I still think she changed a bit..." She shook her mane out, looking into Cavalia's deep blue eyes. "You shouldn't stay alone, not after all that's happened."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[eleutheromania]

Adelita watched him with a burning hate. She took off but not to the herd and instead Advocate. She spotted the colt soon enough and then slowed to a stop. A quiver ran through her body as she he gently nudged him. "Advocate?"

---------- ---------- -----------

Galaxy stumbled and looked at the filly. He snorted and looked down at his hooves for a moment before returning his gaze to her. "you okay?" He asked her curiously. He didn't know if that had been his fault or not but he would say sorry if he needed to.

---------- ---------- -----------

Relic nodded before turning and taking off. His black tail flagging out behind him. The stallion could scent the mares and he wasn't sure where exactly he should start. He slowed down once his birth herd was out of sight and searched for someone. Seeing nothing, he broke into a run again and then closed his eyes, he let his senses lead him and he hit something, a someone to be exact. Eyes now opened, he noticed he had run smack into a few spot mare, Dark Light.

---------- ---------- -----------

Deacon didn't dodge Isis's kicks but he did her mothers. He kicked out at his sister again before snaking Adara again. Then he heard hooves right behind him. The colt saw Vela and put on some speed, now Adara forgotten as he tried to outrun the mare.

[red fox.]

Sin shot an apologetic glance towards Vela, then nickered quietly to Decon before turning sand cantering towards away from the other mares. She stopped to wait for him a few meter away, letting out another nicker to make sure he understood what she wanted.

Vegas nodded, smiling slightly. Her ears flicked as she caught the sound of a distant call, but it was too indistinct to make out. Refocusing on Kairan, she nodded. "Sounds nice."

Brumby snorted quietly as he observed Oaka and Poesis, but when he was invited over, he came over willingly. He lowered his muzzle to sniff the filly, then turned to the colt. He twitched his ears and let out a quiet snort, having heard the parents' conclusion that he was blind. Suddenly, the stallion heard a cry from the direction he knew Vela was in. His head shot up, ears pricked and nostrils flaring. "Oaka..." He nickered apologetically, already starting away. He may not like it, but he knew Poesis would protect her, and Oaka wasn't one to be bossed around, either.

Dawn watched the fight intently, though she still trembled slightly. Her eyes returned to her mother often, nervous for her safety.

Marvel smiled. "Alright, I admit that may have been the reason for leaving..." He nickered playfully. A sudden change in the breeze carried a faint noise to his ears. Almost like a mare's scream... Shaking his head, he turned back to Yatimah. It wasn't his mares, he was sure. He knew his father would take care of them, and he hadn't been gone that long...
