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

[Ariana Black]

Cavalia smiled and nuzzled her softly. "I promise to keep you safe."

Hearing the whinny Amon Ra answered with his own.

[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 proudly came up to Ruby's side, the biggest grin on his face. Why he was so happy about just a few simple acts was a bit puzzling, until you looked into the future. That foal that was inside Adelita would cause lots of repercussions. They might even be so far reaching he'd have multiple angry stallions and mares pounding on his doorstep. His grin faded as he realized that Ruby and his other foal would then be in danger. He huffed, unhappily slinging his head over Ruby's back. "This spring was successful, but it might come back to bite us in the butt." He had a few new scars from his romp, but they were nice and almost healed.

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

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 arched her brow at the grinning stallion. Let's add bold and reckless to the list. "I do believe I've caught your underlying tone, and I've giving you fair warning, so if you are sure you know what you could be signing up for..." She trailed off, moving to stand by his side. "I'll count down to the start." She thought he was pretty spunky and wanted to make sure he wasn't a chicken as well as give him a final chance to save his hide. 'Cause she sure wouldn't care how pretty his lovely coat looked during the race, or how she liked his personality. It'd be all adrenaline and blood lust once somebody said go.

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

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 snorted despite the pain it caused him. "Go ahead, I know my view of anybody related to that Shetan has changed." He shut one eye then the other before opening them both. "Vision seems to be fine, and so do the other senses. Eh, just drop me off at a tree by the herd." He requested, serious about encouraging Adelita to go rip on Isis. After he'd felt the malice behind Shetan's blows, he now shared the hatred his brother Marvel had for the appaloosa.

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

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 finally nuzzled him back and let her muzzle rest on his for a moment. "I have no doubt about that." She assured him, blinking her doe eyes at him with a new sense of awe hidden in them. Did the whole world shift when you went from seeming someone as your mother's playmate to your stallion? Because it felt like it to Cast, like somebody had gone and ripped her life from its hinges then put it back on its hangings upside down.

The mare looked at him before speaking. "And if it does, you'll have more than them to worry about." She warned him. She would not let their next foal suffer because of his or her father's actions. The flea bitten gray mare was slightly showing her pregnancy, her belly starting to round but barely notciable.

|| Relic ||

"I don't underestimate you and I'm definitely not backing out of what I proposed." The stallion told her with a snort. "Who said anything about counting?" A grin spread across his features before he spoke again. "Let this game began to a go!" He said, pushing all his weight towards his rear before launching himself forward, unsettling the dirt and causing some of it to go flying.

|| Adelita ||

The mare nodded. "I think I might do that if I survive my mother." She said sourly and her tone was dead serious. She led him over to a tree and then removed her support slowly until he could nooner rely on her help. She took a deep breath. "And let the disappointment commence." She mumbled before going to meet her mother.

|| Audra ||

She wasn't expecting a response and was started by it. She smiled and then wondered if the source of it would come to her instead of her having to find the equine.

[Ariana Black]

Cavalia smiled happily at her and nuzzled her. He stood beside her looking protective.

Isis saw Advocate and Adelita. She turned away from them and nudged her foals further away from them.

Amon Ra smiled happily but then looked at Jade. He couldn't leave her. He let out a distressed whinny letting the mare know he couldn't leave his location.

[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 huffed, eyes cutting around, as if he was looking for an answer. "I know, but maybe, maybe they don't have to know." His eyes were churning with his thoughts and emotions as he thought up solutions to their problems. "I mean, about you and the foal. I highly doubt they'd ever suspect I had a band. Do you mind being a secret?" He asked the mare. Her coat had marbled with age and now was a lovely silver, slate grey color that varied in its shades in places. He didn't want her to be his secret, he was proud to be starting his own herd and to still be able to maintain his rover life. But it would probably be in the best interested of the both of them and their newest unborn.

~xX Dark Light II Xx~

Dark let out a huff like snort as he accepted the terms again. He then took off, his coat flashing as dirt sprayed about. She let out a whistle then rocketed after him. She always ran faster when she was chasing something, it was some sorta predator like instinct in her that was triggered when she chased. Her mind was sharpened as well as all of her senses in this cross country battle. She moved up to the stallion's flank, then leveled out her speed. She was waiting, waiting for the stallion to do something so she may learn more about him. For one did not go into battle without knowing at least somethings about your enemy and his tactics.

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

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 eased onto the tree with a nod. "Good luck." He looked over at Isis and Adara, frowning. He waited a few minutes, then sunk to the ground again. He wanted to rest, and would only do so for ten to fifteen minutes at time, then would struggle to stand. He then planned to try to graze and would stand for thirty minutes plus.

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

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 nuzzled him back once again. She was nervously happy, and almost eager to see what was in the future for her and Cavalia.

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

[eleutheromania]

Shadowing Ruby looked a him. "A secret, really Shetan, how exactly is that suppose to work when this foal is born? I won't allow you to have that same type of relationship you had with Deacon happen again. You will be around." She td him sternly. A bystander could tell she wasn't afriad of her stallion, Ruby wasn't one to fear easily and if she did it was for good reasons.

Relic watched her gain on him. He was gentle, knowing she'd put force into her reaction towards his attempt to bite her shoulder, hoping to distract her enough to cause her to slow down. It wasn't a real attempt bu merely to start this game of his off.

Adelita nodded and was up with her mother within seconds. The black mare looked fairly upset and stressed, making her look older than she was. "It's not my fault okay, just ignore it." By it, she meant the foal that would come next spring. Her mother on the other hand, was worried about both Adelita and what Marvel would do if he found out, more as when he found out.

Audra heard the stallion. She was stubborn. She didn't reply but instead stayed where she was. All was quiet and peaceful for only a few minutes as she watched her surroundings.

[Ariana Black]

Cavalia smiled at her. "Want to see something beautiful? It was where Nasira and I lived for a while." He looked excited as he mentioned his old home.

Amon Ra sighed softly. He looked at Jade. "Stay put ok? I'll be right back." With that he shot towards where he heard Audra.

[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 huffed a hot breath into the cooling air. No, no, no, she'd gotten it all wrong! "I'll be there." He firmly promised, setting his eyes on hers in a deadlock stare. "I'll be with you and the foal, there's no question there, but all we have to do is make sure that they don't find out I have a band." he tried to explain then began to paw. The words he needed to explain just wouldn't come. "Urgh, I just can't explain it. You got any ideas?" He asked, tempted to toss the 'secret' idea out the window. But maybe he could just tailor it?
He wasn't afraid of a fight, he just was nervous that some horse would go sneak around and mess with his herd when he was away or busy. And he was the man with the plan, he had to think of something.

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

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 noted his test strike at her shoulder and let him hit her the way he wanted to. Her head was strangely pulled up high as she ran, and her eyes were narrowed with thought. The, in a blink of an eye, she exploded into movement. Her neck snaked forwards with teeth bared. But rather then bite down, she just pressed her teeth into his hide and hitched up her speed so she was dragging her teeth across him. It wouldn't be that bad of a wound, it might not even break skin. It was just her return test strike, she was still feeling him out and was still waiting to unleash her real power.

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

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 looked over and watched Adelita as she talked to her mother. (WB)

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

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 nodded, head bobbing up and down with her mane flying about her face. "That sounds great." She was glad the mention of this place made him happy and figured that she'd go check it out.(WB)

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

[eleutheromania]

Ruby's gaze softened when she realized he was nervous, for once in his life. "Shetan, just relax, you're nervous and I understand." She said and gently touched his shoulder before looking at him again. "No, I don't have any ideas, and I can't always hide forever, ya'know." She told him sternly.

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

Relic could feel the teeth, though they didn't break the skin until she was nearly at his shoulder. He didn't flinch away and instead brought the game into full motion. He was about to get pretty rough knowing tenderness was not going to work with her when it came to this game he had allowed himself to accept without second thought, though it was his idea. He tossed his head, making it seem he didn't care about wha was going on. The stallion then turned quickly and harshly bit her hindquarters hopefully not missing.

Audra heard Hoofbeats heading in her direction. (WB)

[Ariana Black]

Soon Audra would see Amon Ra. He reared up and nickered to her softly.

Cavalia grinned happily. "Follow me," he said now prancing. He headed towards where the waterfall was always checking to see if she was following.
