 Areus | Stallion | Single | Mentions: Taleia Exhaustion pulled Areus deeper and deeper into the abyss before the stallion lost consciousness, breathing evenly, comforted by Taleia's presence. The musical sounds of birds twittering in the forest drifted into the cave, causing Areus to stir and snort, blinking sleepily. The stallion lifted his head, unaware of the leaves sticking to his cheek, shifting his gaze down to Taleia. The petite mare was still asleep, curled up into his side, and he smiled to himself, simply admiring her beauty. How lucky was he to have such a beautiful mare beside him, one who wanted to stay in his life? For a moment, he just relaxed, appreciating her before their mission came rushing back to him. The painted stallion carefully rolled to his feet, not wanting to wake Taleia, as she was sleeping so peacefully. With a deep breath, Areus made his way to the cave's entrance, hooves clattering against the stone ground. Sunlight was filtering through the dense forest canopy, causing Areus to squint at the sudden change in light. The air was slightly chilly but cool against his fuzzy coat and a small shiver ran along his spine. Taleia must know where Val and Diego were if they hadn't already moved on. He was sure Val would be concerned about his mare's disappearance and would most likely be preparing to follow Taleia's path. Nausea caused his gut to clench at the thought of the inevitable fight he was going to have to partake in over Tal and Diego. Areus wasn't a fighter, but he would fight for those two with everything he had. Sighing quietly, the stallion lowered his head to graze, teeth tugging at strands of grass damp from the morning dew.

Stella/ Mare/ M: Mouse Stella wakes up slowly, realizing that Mouse is no longer near her. Her head shoots up, but then she sees him standing on the beach. She stretches, realizing that her muscles are no longer sore from all the running last week. She stands up to go take a relaxing dip in the cool stream. This wakes her up quickly, and she pulls herself out to go graze calmly, feeling Mouse's protective watch on her the whole time. He said we could look for a herd today, she thinks gleefully. Her stomach full, she trots down to the beach to meet up with Mouse. As she trots toward him, she sees the sun shining off his sleek, spotted coat. As he watches her come toward him, she flicks her tail and whinnies in greeting. I look forward to being in a band with him, she thinks, looking into his hazel orbs fondly. -------------------------------  Cloud| Stallion| M: Storm, Rowan, Noda As Cloud approaches the group of three curiously, he watches as the grey stallion [Rowan] say something and walk away from the other two. Puzzled, his trot falters, and he narrowly saves himself from crashing to the ground. He shakes out his mane, slightly embarassed, but glad that the other horses pobably didn't see it.

Mouse| Stallion| Single| M: Stella He is excited to see Stella trotting towards him. Her soft scent comes flying into his nostrils. "You ready to find new herd? I don't really know how to do this, but we can both try." He trots off wit Stella onto the beach. Barely morning, but already hot out. Mouse is worried. He wants to tell Stella his feelings for her, but he is afraid of rejection. He wants to tell her, but he is blocked by the loud wind. ' maybe later on.' He thinks as he starts to slow down to a walk. 'I just want to hold onto this friendship a bit longer, if she does reject me.' He turns to look at Stella and gives her a gentle muzzle touch with his. "so how do you suppose when even find a band?"

Taleia l Mare l Single l Mentions: Areus, Open
The movement of the large paint didn't bother the small brindle mare once so ever. For she was to deep into a dream to notice anything had changed from her surrounds. Plumage continuing to flick around in distress.
Taleia's mind turned dark as her dream turned back onto her short stuffed mind, that honestly wasn't very understanding. ' ' ' Diego? ' ' ' The small mare whimpered into her dream, As she walked out of the small cave that swallowed herself. Still in her dream but oh how it felt so alive to Taleia!. Hues quickly thrashing around looking down to the wanting colt as then out of the corner of her orbs came up Val. Galloping towards the two at a full tone, Taleia's breathing became heavy almost to laboring breathing. But then her dream plopped back into reality.
The sliver brood quickly sat up, ready to feel the weight of Areus before herself as she pushed up, But no. He seemed to be gone, quickly at instinct she peered her orbs around ' ' ' Areussss!!!! ' ' ' The brindled horse screamed in fear and stress of her scary dream that caused this drama

 Areus | Stallion | Single | Mentions: Taleia A shrill scream tore through Areus' mindless grazing, causing the stallion to reel back in fear, fear for Taleia's safety. He swiveled on his hind legs and lunged towards the cave, his hazel eyes wild with concern. "Tal! Tal, are you alright?" The stallion shouted as he raced into the cave and slid to a stop before the distressed mare, lowering his head to nudge her lightly. From what it seemed like, it was a combination of a nightmare and Areus not being there when she woke up. I should've at least let her know that I would be outside grazing...I didn't even think about that. "I'm right here. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you..."

Noda | Mare | Single | M: Storm, Rowan Noda allowed her audits to tip forward as she listened to the stallion(Rowan), feeling the pain through his voice of whatever he was hiding in his heart. Her assertive look, morphed into a soft frown as she watched him deflate. She turned to Storm, wondering if he was just going to let the stallion walk away. It was obvious that all he had wanted was company - but of course she was aware that it could also be a trick to catch them offguard but the mare was unable to shake the energy the she absorbed from Rowan. It was the same thing she's been feeling since she woke up, however, she couldn't imagine the pain he must have been carrying that was much worse than anything she was experiencing. "Wait!" She bursted out through her thoughts, surprising herself as well as Storm she could accurately guess. She flashed him an apologetic look before taking a step closer to the grey stallion. "I'm sorry." She spoke softly, looking into Rowan's eyes with a look she could only hope he could read without her words. She kept her eyes staring holes through the stallion's for several seconds before she broke it, her orbs falling straight to the ground and then back briefly to the young horse. "What brought you here?" She asked hoping he wouldn't find her to be prying. Noda's attemtion fluttered back to Storm slightly beside her, searching for his emotions. He was so hard for her to read.

Stella/Mare/ M: Mouse Stella looked into Mouse's kind, hazel orbs. She felt a slight breeze blowing off the ocean, and took a deep breath of salty, fresh air. In taking this deep breath, she could smell a mix of scents coming from upwind. Confused, she looked away from Mouse to behing him, in the direction of the horses' [Storm, Noda, Rowan, Cloud] scents. It smells like there are others, she thinks to herself. I wonder if they are a herd, or if they are a group of loners. she turned back to face Mouse. "I think I smell others," She tells him. "Don't you?" she looks curiously down the beach, still not seeing anything but the shoreline. Before Mouse can smell for himself, the wind changes direction, blowing their scent in the direction of the horses stella smelled. "We should go find them," she whispers, almost not sure if Mouse will hear her over the wind. ------------------------------------  Cloud/ stallion/ M: storm, rowan, noda Cloud looks on as the beautiful mare [noda] chasing after the grey stallion [rowan] as he storms off. The strangely patterned stallion [storm] is left behind, staring after them. This is a good chance to introduce myself Cloud thinks. Suddenly, the wind changes direction, and Cloud catches the scent of two other horses that are farther along the beach. One [stella] smells fearful, while the other [mouse] smells determined. Cloud stops, pondering his next move. Should I continue to approach the stallion, or go see who those other horses are? he asks himself.

Rowan paused suprised, he looked over his shoulder again and stared at the mare, brows slightly upraised. He felt her glare on him, it was like she was burning a hole in his neck. He turned around so he was facing them again, he looked at Storm then Noda, he was so confused on what just happened he stood there in shock for a moment.
He finally pulled himself together and looked at the mare, he offered a small smile, "what do you mean Sorry and," he swallowed and glanced at Storm "what brought me here". He asked trying to stop his legs from trembling slightly. 'no,no,no. How, how did she-No,no' was all he could think as he stared at the mare, he suddenly found himself trying to find something to look at other the her or Storm. He mumbled something under his breath, and finally looked at Storm 'this is not gonna end well, I need to get out of here' he thought then suddenly he found himself wide eyed and struggling not to let his legs buckle, then it hit him for the first time in a while he was scared, truly scared.

Mouse| Stallion| Single| M: Stella, Noda, Rowan, Storm Mouse heard what Stella was saying, he smelled others. He tried to follow the scent of the others. The scent led to the beach. He saw others! Three stallions( Storm. Rowan, Cloud) and a mare( Noda). They looked familiar to him. They trotted over to the bunch of horses clearly having a verbal argument. 'The strange colored stallion and the mare look close. They must be mates.' He thought to himself. He kept there distance, but tried to talk to them. "Are you all in a band? We both have been looking for bands to join"

Stella/Mare/ M: Mouse, Noda, Rowan, Storm, Cloud Stella stayed as close to Mouse without touching him as possible. She trotted along with him as he went over to the strange horses in the distance. the paint stallion [cloud] seemed to be standing back a little as he watched the other three [Rowan, Storm, Noda] and kept one audit focused on them, the other turned towards Stella and Mouse. The uniquely colored stallion was standing near to the blood bay mare, but seemed to be listening to the argument, and assessing it, rather than engaging. They [storm and noda] must be mates, thought Stella. They looked really close. The grey stallion seemed tense while he talked with the blood bay mare. Stella remained silent, but stepped a little ways behind Mouse, keeping him between her and the others. Meeting so many new horses at once is scary, she thought. and so many stallions. the stallions all seemed to be slightly tense, as if preparing for a fight, but trying to keep it from happening. ---------------------------  Cloud/ stallion/ m: rowan, stella, mouse, sotrm, noda Cloud noticed a pair of horses, a mare [stella] and stallion [mouse[, approaching from the distance. Where are they all coming from? he thought. i've been living here a year now, and i've never seen them before, cloud told himself. As the spotted stallion asked if they were a band, Cloud broke out of his thoughts. A band? he asked himself. who would want to be in a band?...unless I'm leader, he mused. He puffed his chest, and shook out his mane, trying to look as intimidating and impressive as possible. He eyed the newcomer mare, taking in her shining blue roan coat, black plumage, and dark elegant feathers. She's also beautiful, he thought to himself. Looking away, he focused back on the other three horses [storm, noda, rowan] to see where they had gotten in their argument since he looked away.
