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

[.The Bootless Box.]

Missy- She smiled. "Yeah it was. But thank goodness your a sane stallion. That means there's at least one, Plus I happen to like talking to this one." She said ending with a playful bump to his neck with her muzzle.

Hakor- She didn't know why Pyro wanted to hide but she had an idea. "Miss um I know somewhere that you would be safe and protected." She said thinking of her dad who was bound to maverick her family soon. He would protect and leave Pyro alone.

"All this, you traded it for nothing. Oh my, I can see your heart has met its end."

Phantasma smiled at him through the long strands of grass they were cropping. Next year they'd be joined by a little one, and maybe another mare or two if Rift got lucky on his trips out this year. But she was content as it was right now, with just the two of them and their games. She spent a puff of air at his face as a last little game before settling down with her grass.

~xX Shetan Xx~
"This is it boys, this is war. What are we waiting for?"

Shetan was already not in a good mood and when this filly stomped her way over, his ears half-pinned. "Yeah, I know. Come on." He replied, turning and whisking off to where he had taken Ruby to talk. Once he arrived he spun around in order to face the filly. His plans were shifting like sand, new ideas blew in while taking others out and some remained. He particularly fancied two ideas which were nearly opposites, one was just a simple questioning and the other an extreme test. What was this test? Well, if Midnight continued to give him more of the same ridiculous throwback stuff, he would weasel his way into breeding with her. Then when the next year rolled around, they'd see if the foal was relatively ok or if it was overrun with all the inbreeding. To be frank, that was the only evidence that would make him believe Midnight was his daughter.
He realized that his second plan was already sort of a mix between talking and acting, so he set his mind on that. With that settled, he spoke. "I just wanted to ask you some questions. It shouldn't take long." He had to hide his smile and replace it with a neutral expression.

"What is there to complain about? Oh, this has gotta be the good life."

Rambo moved on, the scent of his son mixing with others. His band. He thought to himself as he sped up. Within some time he spotted a band in the distance. That's got to be Relic's. He was about to speed up again when he paused. There was this other scent, it seemed familiar almost... He looked around, only spotting the band and a lone mare or two. He hummed to himself and stopped, looking over the few equine shapes that were around. She kinda looks familiar... He thought as he looked over one of the lone mares. However, he would have never guessed it was Lakita, as he thought she must have died. But without a body there was no way to be sure...

"As your sweet dreams dissolve, I'll crash and burn."

Sun moved back to the band with Relic, and thankfully their filly was still distracted. Next year would be interesting as the band would be bursting with foals. A light smile was on Sun's lips as she tried to imagine the potential chaos. She sighed happily, returning Relic's nuzzle before moving over to Corona and Zee. The mare once again smiled gratefully at Zee then looked down to watch Corona.

"I'm about to go astray, my inhibition's gone away."

Corona listened to the mare and tried to picture what the filly had looked like. It had been hard to see all her markings in such close quarters, but she thought she knew generally what she looked like. "I dunno who she is, but I know what she and her mom look like." She replied then tilted her head. "Why? Did you think you might've known her?" The filly asked as her mother came up next to her.

"If our love's tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?"

Xanthos' wispy smile took on some more solidity as she slowly picked out what he was keeping inside. She chose not to address his first comment, but her smile did widen at it. A normal mare would have probably promised that she would always be there for Scream, but Xanthos just couldn't do that. Not while Galaxy was alive. Her mind was quickly taken off that subject when he mentioned he was happy about them being alone. A shiver ran down her spine, made up of half fear and half happiness. The fear came from when she was two and swore that love turns to hate and pain. The happiness was pretty self explanatory.
While her mind had wandered a bit, he brought her back to reality by brushing his muzzle against her neck. The leopard appaloosa startled a bit, nostrils flaring momentarily. But just as with Galaxy, she then relaxed and enjoyed his touch. Her eyes no longer were guarded and carefully controlled, rather they were now expressing her mix of fear, wariness, happiness, and even that ugly old feeling of love. Or at least, a form of love. Her heart, like his, was doing strange things as she began to finally reply. "I'm pretty happy about being alone as well."

Dark watched as Nos fell to talking to his mare and Cavalia walked up to her. She turned her attention to him, head cocked. "Greetings, white stallion. I see you remember me this time." She commented, recalling to when she last visited him and had to remind him of who she was. The few spot mare flicked her heat scented tail at the spring flies, her gaze watching for any reaction from any horse present.

Rift Cloud

The stallion smiled before he decided to make his rounds. It was still early and he wanted to catch Cloudburst before the colt went exploring probably but that would leave Pyro alone and he had convinced her the first time. He lifted his head and then nuzzled her. "I'm going to go, find you some company maybe." He told her before he took off towards where he had last seen Pyroclastic.

Deadly Midnight

She rolled her eyes and followed him reluctantly. He tail was clamped, curtesy of Adelita telling her about what that weird scent was. She stopped when he did and faced him. "Okay, ask away then." She said with a huff. She didnt understand why Shetan kept his suspicions and she wasn't going to tell him the truth, not until she was able to get away from him, she already knew that he was both faster and stronger than her. Midnight wasn't stupid and so the yearling plopped down on the ground and waited.

Burning Sapphire

She spotted her son in the group of three mares and what looked like a yearling. She smiled and looked back to Rambo before she looked around the area. Sapphire then noticed a familiar figure and moved towards Lakita, her curiousity getting the best other until she could make out the mare's markings. "Rambo? Is that Lakita?" She asked her stallion as she looked back at him.

Relic

After he reassured Ginger, he went to take up on his promise with Corona. "Corona, how about that game I promised?" He called to his daughter as he tossed his head and waited on her response. He was aware of the lone mares around, he didnt notice his parents though. The stallion flicked his tail at flies as he looked at his filly.

[G.L'S]

Pyroclastic considered Hakor's offer for a millisecond. "If it involves a stallion, I'll be just fine here. You two go, I can handle Rift Cloud if he finds me," she answered and nodded to them both before slipping through the thicker bushes. She had a feeling that he didn't know about Havana's location and decided to head to the border.
~*~
Cloudburst smiled a little and turned back to Hakor. "We'll now you've seen the extent of my world, do you mind showing me yours?" He asked excitedly. He swished his little tail stub happily at the catharsis of tension and prospect of happy times with a friend.
~~~
Steel blushed slightly and tossed his mane. "We'll sane, maybe but thank you, I enjoy your company as well."

[Ariana Black]

Barak nodded. "they'll notice." He nuzzled her. "I'll be with you every step of the way."

Shadow smiled.-fade to black- He came to her side and nuzzleed her. "I missed you."

Cavalia caught her scent. "May I help you Dark?"

[.The Bootless Box.]

Zee- She shook her head. "No I thought they might need some help was all, as they looked so frantic. Thank you though. You should go play with Relic." She said with a smile. She did have the feeling they may have needed help, as she had when she first ran through Utasia.

Boomer- She smiled and answered with a fun idea. "I'm Masked Explosion or-" She reared up and sent a wave like a bomb hit as she came down, or that's how it as in her head. "Boomer." She finished with a laugh.

Rogue- She smiled and laughed too at her introduction. "I like you Boomer, your cool." She said happily.

Gypsy- She blinked and got up. "Mommy, what are we going do do now?" She asked as she moved around stretching as she woke up.

Pirate- She looked at her foal. "Well we're going back to that herd to apologize. So come on little missy." She said and they walked back to Relic's herd but stopped seeing that the herd had visitors. "We'll come back in a little while." She told her daughter and they backed up and started grazing, well Gypsy was playing.

Crash- "Really? I've only been for an adventure once and it landed me here, so I think it was great. Maybe we could go for a walk if you wanted? I wouldn't let anything happen, Promise." He said wanting to show her what he saw, Utasia in all it's glory.

Lakita- She saw Sapphire coming towards her. "Sapphire? Rambo? Is that you?" She asked walking closer hope glinting in her eyes.

Missy-She smiled and giggled lightly at his blush. "Anytime." She said in between giggles, she hadn't been this happy in a long while.

Hakor- She nodded back to Pyro as she left and looked to Cloudburst when he spoke a grinned. "Not at all!" She said swishing her tail as well.

Caz- (I forgot what exactly I needed to reply to for him ^^')

Gold- He smiled. "I know, but when it's about you, that's all that matters to me." He replied honestly.

Ace- He beamed. "That's what I hope for." He said with and honest smile.

Scream- When he looked into her eyes and saw that she let her guard down he automatically did and would have even if he hadn't wanted to, but really he didn't mind. His eyes shown with that feeling he couldn't quite grasp just yet, love. He knew she may never tell him her past but he didn't want to scare her away with his, so he was fine with that. With his heart still doing strange things, but this time they weren't so constricting when she accepted his touch. He smiled a soft smile, that made him look younger, more coltish. Not many had seen it, probably only her and his parents when he was still pretty young. "Well, what should we do? I mean, do you want to find a place to stay or.. something?" He asked kind of stumbling over his words as he smiled that rare smile and kind of blushed.

Mira- She became even more worried and timid and tried to doze but every time those horrid nightmares came back. Boy did she need her stallion and protector back.

Esperanza- She smiled and her worries shrank back and went away for now. She nuzzled him back and moved really close to him. "Thank you." She said with a happy sigh and relaxed into him.

Rose- She nuzzled him back and smiled. "I missed you too." She said softly, so glad to have him back. She remembered he still had a herd. "Oh dear! Your herd is probably so worried about you, we should hurry." She said looking at him with worry for Shadow's herd, even if she didn't know them.

(Aw yeah! I got everyone of my horses in there!xD)

[Ariana Black]

Eclipse smiled softly. She looked down shyly. "Wow cool. I think we should ask my dad first."

Isis smiled at him. "I want to stay close but not close enough to the point Galaxy feels like we are crowding him."

Barak smiled at her. "I'm here for you."

Shadow nodded. "Pax and Mira will be worried." with that he led the way back to the others.

[G.L'S]

Steel shifted his body weight to give her a small jostle. He lifted his head and again, another sneeze shot out of him. Immediately he shook his head and rubbed his face clean. "Excuse me."

Cloudburst gave a large bow and extended a foreleg. "Lead the way my fair lady."

"All this, you traded it for nothing. Oh my, I can see your heart has met its end."

Phantasma was already suspicious as he reached up to nuzzle her again. His next words did not surprise her in the least and she simply nodded. She had known when she joined him that he would frequently wander, whether it be after mares or his foals. She didn't mind, she liked having some time to herself. The last thing she wanted was a stallion who hovered over her every moment. Plus, she could go on some adventures of her own while he was gone. "Good luck!" She called after his fleeting form before returning to simply grazing. She was feeling far too lazy right now to go adventuring, but maybe later she'd go out. It'd be nice to stretch her legs out before the foal grew too big. Not to mention how she'd be tied down once it was born.

~xX Shetan Xx~
"This is it boys, this is war. What are we waiting for?"

Shetan frowned distastefully as he noticed she had her tail clamped and then she dropped down to the ground, catching him further off guard. He watched her a moment, unsure how to continue for that split second. In the next fraction, anger blazed through and paved cruel new roads for him to follow. D*mmit, Ruby got to her early. Normally it would be easy to take advantage of a younger mare, but some of them had savvy mothers who warned their daughters of the outside world. Other mothers were like Dark, letting the world teach the kids. Either way, he now had to trim his plan. He could either try and make her relaxed enough to stand back up and then weasel his way around from there, or he could just use force. He pondered this for a moment before throwing most of his plans out the window and deciding to wing it.
"'I have reason to suspect that your mother has lied to me. However, due to the sentimental attachments most horses have to their offspring, I also suspect that she has told you truth instead of lies." He fixed his gaze on her, looking down with that bright blue gaze. How easy would it be to just end the controversy right now and just snuff the life out of Midnight? Very easy was the answer.
But Shetan liked this drama in a way, it kept him from boredom. It became frustrating at times, yes, but it was worth it for the most part. "So, Midnight, who is your sire?" He asked her simply, moving forwards so he stood next to her resting form.

"What is there to complain about? Oh, this has gotta be the good life."

Rambo stiffened a bit as Sapphire approached the mare and asked him if she might be Lakita. He stiffened due to hope, it was almost too good to be true. But why here, why now? As the other mare started to approach them, her questions the opposite of Sapphire's, Rambo's face was relaxed by a huge grin. "Yes, Lakita." He said somewhat formally as he closed the distance between him and his former mare. He looked back to Sapphire and then to where his sons band was. "Wow, it's nice to see you again." He remarked as he decided that they needed to do a little bit of meet and greet before visiting Relic. But now that he had looked over Lakita and seen that she looked fine, he started to look around the area for another horse. It was unlikely, but maybe his unborn foal with Lakita had found its way back home with its mother.

"I'm about to go astray, my inhibition's gone away."

She chirped back then her muzzle shot out before he could reply. "Tag!" She squealed, having heard of the game from her mother in the short time before Shetan had come. The rabicano filly took off towards where Rambo and the mares were, though she didn't know the significance of that direction.

"If our love's tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?"

Xanthos let out a little puff of air in surprise as he also let his walls fall down. His near black eyes softened first then the rest of him softened and the change was even more noticeable when he smiled. She let out an airy chuckle as he spoke and stumbled over his words. She had to admit, even though she had experienced love before, this type of love opened her eyes to him and made her see him in a new light. It was if she had been trying to watch the sky through a covering of leaves but then had moved out into the light and could now see the sky clearly. But it was still the same sky. He was acting as if he was looking at an entirely different sky. "We'll do the same things we normally do, except we'll do it as a herd. I don't see a reason to change the way we've been living. Just add the new titles and some affection and we're more than traveling companions." She liked their life, movement and travel with the occasional adventure. But he was right in a way. They'd need time to explore this new, romantic side of their relationship. For example, she needed to find out how far she was willing to let this relationship go. So far light affection was ok, but what about nuzzles and somewhere after that, foals? Yes, it was a leap, but she was sure those things would come up, maybe even within the course of this spring.

Dark smirked a bit at his tone, her tail still going. "Dunno, Cavalia. What do you have to offer?" She questioned, tilting her head as an offer to go off on a bit of a jaunt. Oh, she was just getting started with him, just getting started. But problem one was getting him to take the bait. If he would not, then she might just have to go hassle her brother. There was no way on God's green Earth she was having another Shetan with Nos. She would just drive him mad instead by denying him. But then again, she might not get that reaction from Nos since he knew her pretty well. However, she was still going to try her best to have fun this spring.

The stallion had heard her and smiled. He made his way towards the forest. He stopped when he caught two scents, then Pyro's which was farther off and still fresh. Instead of going to the mare, he was curious to see if this was his son. He weaved his way through the trees until he spotted Cloudburst with a young mare. "Well, well. Look how nicely you've filled out Cloudburst." The stallion said to his son, simply nodding to the mare, he had no interest in his son's affairs. "How's your mother and how is life treating you?" He added. Rift knew that Pyro probably knew he was coming but he wouldn't be here to simply breed with her, not if she didnt want to anyway.

The stallion laughed when Corona tagged him and took off. He waited a while and gave her a good head start before he took off, kicking up some turfs of grass with his back hooves. He broke into a gallop and began to close the distance between them. When Relic went to tag her once he caught up, he hesitated when he saw the three horses not far off anymore. "Corona, stop for a second." He said to his filly as he tapped her rump. The stallion then stopped himself and looked at the paint mare beside the stallion. He recognized them anywhere but he didnt recognize Lakita. Relic let out a friendly nicker, wanting to be sure of his assumptions.
