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

[Tigermay]

(will post Shetan and any others soon)

Feels so good being bad,
There's no way I'm turning back.
Now pain is my pleasure
'Cause nothing could measure.

~xX Dark Light II Xx~

Dark sighed, hating this awkwardness. Couldn't just be black and white, easy and nice? But no, life just had to come in and make everything messy. "I'm Dark Light," she replied, eyes set on him in expectance of his departure. But this encounter had made her think about some important stuff. Like, what in the world was she going to do with herself now? There was no clear answer and she once again cursed messy life. Ebony was dead, Cavalia was shoving her back to Wind, Wind wanted to kill her probably, and Ziam had dropped off the face of the earth. There were her stallions, laid out in her mind. Unless she found some of her siblings she was just wandering aimlessly about Utasia. Her egocentric thoughts came back when she had noticed he hadn't gone yet. Well I suppose this Relic will have to be in the head count as well. She huffed, eyes now actively searching him again.

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

Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back,
Though you know I wish I could.
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.

~xX Devil's Advocate Xx~

Advocate huffed out a sigh, trying to angle his head so he could look at Adelita. "Help me?" He asked, his beaten skin and worn muscles beginning to ripple gently in anticipation of trying to stand. He carefully shrugged her head off his back, face set in a determined frown.

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

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 finished nursing and tapped Zira's barrel in thanks before she pranced over to her father. Flinging her head about for a moment, she came to a stop by Shadow's shoulder. She nickered playfully then shoved her forehead flat against the stallion, head butting him. She didn't expect him to move or anything, but just wanted to show him she was indeed fine. Soon after this she would probably take a nap, she was really tired.

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

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 tried to guess what the stallion was thinking, but could come up with nothing. So to break the imminent silence, she spoke. "So I suppose that's a good thing for every other stallion in the market for a mare," she nickered with a tint of bitterness to her tone. Her mother's legacy and her grandsire's legacy would always shadow her. How could she cast her own shadow if she was in the dark?

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

Nobody's a picture perfect,
Everybody's got a dark side.
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?

~xX The Colors of Falling Xx~

Oaka quickly pushed her muzzle against his as he returned, then blinked and nudged their foals. "Thank you," she said quietly, turning and making Phantasma sandwich her brother to Oaka's side. She then moved off with their twins slowly, always keeping an eye out for her blind son. She would follow Brumby back to the herd, but would arrive in her own time so she could sort things out in her head first.

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

All this and you traded it for nothing.
A cheap lie, you put it in your pocket.
All this, yeah, you traded it for nothing.
Oh my, I can see your heart has met its end.

~xX Silver Phantasma Xx~

Phantasma smiled at her father, listening carefully to his promise. She was much happier after this and allowed herself to be forced to help her brother. She would've helped Steel anyway, but let Oaka shove her around because she had a hunch that her dam was confused right now.

Shadow chuckled softly. "Want to play little one?"

Cavalia nodded. "I guess so," sadness dripped from his voice. "What mare though would want a broken hearted stallion no matter if he could defend her?" He bowed his head. "I'm the youngest in my family. I never met my father because he was murdered by Shadow's older brother Zanzibar. He was a great stallion. I'm only a mere shadow compared to him. I wonder if he would have given up as well if he had gotten the chance to see my mother's death."

|| Relic ||

He listened as she spoke. First it seemed she was lost in her thoughts before this Dark Light looked at him again. Relic was able to actually keep a conversation up now that he realized it so he spoke. "You seem like you have a lot going on." he commented. He didn't know much get but he was one that could read off of someone's body language to know if something was up. He flicked his tail at the flies that decided to rest near his hindquarters for a moment or two wondering if she would repond. Relic had a similar personality to Ziam, though his was a lot more docile though he had his moments.

|| Adelita ||

She let him use her as his support as he tried to rise to his hooves. She slowly moved with him, though she was on her hooves faster, except for a small stumble. The mare watched him closely as she didn't want him any more hurt than he already was. This day had been worse than she had expected, well she had t expected it to be a bad day at all.

|| Galaxy ||

The colt finished shortly after Xanthos and then folded his legs under himself and was on the ground in the short grass deciding to catch up on a well earned nap. He then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep within minutes.

|| Zira ||

The mare felt Xanthos thank her and smiled. She then continued grazing before she had her fill of the green grass. She then watched her son fall asleep beside her and Xanthos go to Wind.

|| Audra ||

The white mare was alone in a open area, where she could see anything that decided to approach her. She sighed before lowering her head to graze, wondering what stallions were around that wouldn't seem already preoccupied with something.

|| Haven's Star ||

She sighed, though mostly to herself as she grazed, gray forelock covering both her eyes. The black mare wasn't having the best of days though she knew Marvel had expected her to keep everyone safe while he was gone. She couldn't do that with Adara and Isis, Isis especially, coming and going when they wanted. She knew the young mare probably needed to find her own herd and not stuck with her mother forever, it was part of growing up anyway.

[G.L'S]

Steel smiled and nuzzled his mom and sister. He quite liked the sandwuch they made for him and bouced a little as he walked beside them.
~~~
Poesis nodded and walked off again. He wouldn't stray too far in case they did get lonely by themselves.

[Ariana Black]

Shadow watched Zira silently.

(bad WB)

Feels so good being bad,
There's no way I'm turning back.
Now pain is my pleasure
'Cause nothing could measure.

~xX Dark Light II Xx~

Dark flicked her tail, her heat scent gone as the land entered summer. "Eh, sorta." She granted, curious as to what made him stay.

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

Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back,
Though you know I wish I could.
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.

~xX Devil's Advocate Xx~

Advocate heavily used her to stand but once he was on his hooves he was able to take a bit more of his own weight. He blinked, looking about and testing out the way his body felt before nodding to her that he was ready to try walking.

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

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 yawned the next minute and shook her head. Flowing Galaxy's lead, she flopped down at her father's hooves to sleep.

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

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 nudged him gently. "If you can defend, manes will come. And trust me, I know about the shadows cast by other family members." She didn't respond to his other statements, just thought about them.

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

Nobody's a picture perfect,
Everybody's got a dark side.
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?

~xX The Colors of Falling Xx~

Oaka smiled as well, they were now within seeing distance of the herd. She didn't see anything totally out of sorts but still keep their pace to a walk.

|| Relic ||

The stallion gave a equine nod. He had guessed correctly. "Feel like talking about it or you just feel like forgetting it all?" he asked her. He wasn't at all curious as to what her problems were but thought he could help if she just wanted to talk about it. "Or you could vent if you need too." he added on to his question knowing that could also help.

|| Adelita ||

She let him use her to balance himself. As he thought he could try walking, she nodded and slightly moved away, though still supporting him and would be able to catch him if he fell. [WB]

[Ariana Black]

Shadow chuckled. "Good night Xanthos."

Cavalia smiled at her softly. He nuzzled her gently. "Want to stay with me?"

Amon Ra watched Jade silently. Summer was here which made him slightly happier. Stallions atleast wouldn't be after Jade for her scent. [Want to send Audra his way?]

~xX Dark Light II Xx~

Dark stared at him blankly. How had him leaving gone to her personal life? He was kinda sly, and she wasn't sure if he actually cared or if he was just using her for info. She blinked, drawing her head in towards her chest. "If I were to vent, you would end up dead," she told him simply, voice never wavering and eyes now unblinking. She was dead serious, she had so much pent up that if she let it all go he would in her attacks and at least one more as well. "As for forgetting, I tried that. Doesn't ever really work." Why in the world was she talking to him again? "As for talking, it'd take a while to outpour my entire soul, so I suppose I'll just talk about the most recent thing." This Relic, he was something, almost like Ziam. Maybe that was why she'd fallen into this easy dance of words with him. "I finally decided to get out and choose my own stallion. I left the one my father basically forced me upon, and left our latest foal—born this spring—with him. His parting gift was a murderous whinny after me as I beat a hasty retreat." She let out a wordless scoff after she finished speaking, a worm of bitterness weaseling its way into her.

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

Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back,
Though you know I wish I could.
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.

~xX Devil's Advocate Xx~

Advocate felt almost detached from his hollowly ringing body as he took a shaky breath. His hoof inched forwards, not even being lifted off the ground. The next hoof was lifted, but only a bit, then placed down. He'd taken a step. The relief he felt was sickening. Just being able to walk shouldn't make my day, but it has. Grunting at himself, he continued to slowly hobble along with the help of Adelita by his side. "Thank you."

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

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 nearly pulled away, a bit of her skittish nature flashing through for a moment. But his muzzle was soft and his touch was light, so she accepted and even leaned into his nuzzle. At his question, her throat ran a little dry and she swooped down to grab a mouthful of water to buy herself some time. She swallowed, then flicked her tail, now realizing her heat scent was barely present at all. "Sure, Cavalia." She replied, bashfully returning his smile.

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

|| Relic ||

The stallion snorted, though not to mock or in amusement. "I find that quite possible, you look like you vent with violence." he told her with a grin. He then listened to what she had to say, the bay stallion not interrupting her once as he had no questions. He could tell she had a lot of stress and tension built up. The cunning young stallion decided that maybe a nice competitive run could release some of it. "No stallion should send a goodbye like that, no matter what the cause. Maybe that's just him. Plus, you seem to stressed and tensed up from this stressful life you seemed to have been living. Care for a race with no rules attached?" he used his words cleverly, though when he added on, any horse with common sense would know that he meant blood could be draw, to slow your opponent down. He was in for the risk.

|| Adelita ||

The mare nodded to him and continued at the slow pace she had set for him. Soon enough she could spot the few equines that made up her father's and grandsire's herd. She was frowning and did not look pleased as she saw her mother looking at her. "So much for a secret. I feel like hurting that non-relative mare right now." her tension was obvious.

|| Audra ||

With spring over, she continued to wonder aimlessly. She wasn't looking off a herd or stallion, just a friendly conversation and be on her way. With that, she let loose a high pitched whinny.
