Cream Ninja
Ninja noticed that the little band of equids was on the move the mare and filly taking off at a gallop. The stallion fallowing at a satiated pace, Ninja gave a snort and set out in the opposite direction. He had come into this small herds range a few days ago, Ninja had no urge to try and join such a small tight knit herd. The last time he had tried that it had not turned out well, he picked up his pace to a ground eating canter. A week or so later he was taking a drink at a pond when suddenly a mare and foal appeared on the other side. As he was about to turn away the mare let out a nigh of welcome, he paused for a minute at the slight hint of desperation in her voice. Ninja pricked his ears and waited for the mare to come closer. As she came closer he noticed the slightly drawn look on her face and how thin both the mare and foal were. As the mare introduced herself Ninja diced he would try and help them. "Hello Lady Magret and Lord Davin, My name is Cream Ninja you can call me Ninja though. I did see a herd about a weeks worth of travel back that way. If you want I can show you the way." at her enthusiastic yes he turned back the way he just came and wondered what he had just gotten himself in to.
After a week or so hard travel they reached the edge of the herds territory, both he and Lady paused to wonder how they should approach the herd. "I think we should head to the waterfall and..." his words trailed off as he watched little Davi flop down on the grown and fall fast asleep. He and Lady glanced at each other "Maybe this we should wait to diced what to do in the morning" at Lady's nod they settled in for the night. With Ninja standing guard as the two fell fast asleep, curled up in a orange colored ball of fur.
Lady Magret
Lady walked along the forest wit Davi sticking close, she let out a huge sigh. Looking down at her son, "I am sure we will meet some equids soon" reaching back and nuzzling his face. Lady let out a huge internal sigh she real hoped they did it had been weeks since they had been separated from Davi's father. Lady notice the scent of water in the air she fallowed it to its source, it was a beautiful pond. And there on the other side was another equid. She let out a slightly desperate nigh of welcome, praying that he would stay and talk for a bit. Lady trotted around the pond and stooped a short distance away from the stallion just in case. "Hello my name is Lady Magret and this is my son Lord Davin, we are looking for a herd that used to live near here. Have you seen them. Do you know where they are." Lady pricked her ears forwarded, hoping that this stallion would be able to help. On hearing that Ninja did know of a herd in the area, Lady nearly jumped around like a young filly. She manged to just barely restrain herself, "We would love it if you could show us the way, and you can call me Lady and this little fellow Davi."
Lady was exhausted, but Niinja said that they would reach the edge of the herds territory some time in the late afternoon. It had been a hard trip, she glaceed over her shoulder at Davi. He was relay starting to show the hard pace his little ears drooped and he looked about ready to fall asleep on his hooves. Lady fleet bad for having pushed him so hard, but the predators seemed to be out in full force right now. And she real wanted the safety that a herd would offer, not to mention the stability that would be offered. Lady knew that she and her son could not go much farther today. Just then Ninja stooped and indicated that they had finally reached there goal. As Ninja started to talk about moving father on, all Lady could think about was how much poor Davi need to rest. And as she was about to interrupt Ninja and say so. Little Davi flopped down on the ground and feel asleep, Lady glanced a Ninja with a tired look. And as soon as he mentioned stooping here for the night. Lady gave the most enthusiastic node she could muster. Before curling up around her son, gently nudging him into a more comfortable sleeping position. Then promptly falling asleep herself with her son snugly tucked in next to her.
Lord Davin
Davi gave a soft sigh, he real hoped his Mom was right. It was so scary out here in the woods with just the two of them, just the other day they had to run from a cougar. A slight shiver ran down his hide and he pressed just a bit closer to his Mom. Davi contend to fallow his Mother deeper in to the woods, Mom said that they looked like the ones she once knew. So they had been heading in the direction of the last place she remembered her herd being. He still missed his Dad, but that land slide had made it impossible to get back in to the valley. As they came up to a pond Mother spotted another equid, and called out a greeting. As they approached the strange stallion, Davi eyed him wearily. He could not make up his mind about how he felt about this turn in events. He tried to puzzle it out as the adults talked, then he heard them talking about a herd of equids that could possible be his Mom's missing herd. And that Ninja would take them to them.
Davi's hooves ached they pace had been much faster then what his Mother and he traveled. As soon as Ninja and Mother pause to talk about what to do now they had reached the edge of this herds territory. Davi flopped down on the ground with a exhausted sigh. and promptly feel asleep.
