A Warrior's Travels

[Dusty's Girl]

In the tall grasses near a lake, lay a golden mare. No markings other than a snowy mane and tail marred her body. Her eyes were half closed as she was enjoying the sun. Scars ran across her golden hide, gleaming in the light as she lay there. But her side and shoulder, that visible to the eye, was marred by a wound. Not quite healed, it was on its way to healing. Deep and treacherous, it loomed like an evil thought. She snorted softly in her contentment. Her friends had gone on ahead of her, promising that they would try and claim a land. Of course, Eros would want a lead mare in this tiny herd. Ambrosia and herself could always allow that since neither one wanted to stand with the stallion alone.

She lay in the sun, alone, quietly dozing. The wound had stolen most of her strength, but slowly she was regaining it back. Her ears wiggled slightly as she nodded her head, her eyes slowly closing once more. A soft snort rippled her nostrils as she slipped asleep, letting her dreams take over for a bit before she resumed her travels once more.

Concrete Angel was walking through this new area. It only had mares and foals. She was thankful for that. All the mares in this area were talking wth other mares, or resting with their foals.
Concrete Angel was thirsty. She went to the lake. In order to get to the lake without having to go through all the foals and mares, she had to go through tall grasses. As she was walking in the grasses, she saw a sort of....indentation in the grasses, a spot where it seemed there wasn't any grass. Well, that's not normal... she thought. Cautiously, she walked over to the indentation to find a golden mare, laying there in the grass. She gasped when she saw the deep wound on her shoulder. She saw that the mare's eyes were closed. Her coat color is almost like mine. Only, I have stockings on my hind legs, where she doesn't. Concrete Angel thought. Carefully, she lowered her head and nudged the other mare's cheek, to see if she was okay. She asked, "Hello? Are you okay? That wound you have...it doesn't look too good."

[Dusty's Girl]

She snorted softly, her eyes flying open and looking at...Herself? No, she must still be dreaming. She shook her head slightly and looked up at the other mare. "Hello there. I am sorry, you startled me a bit. I am fine, this wound is healing slowly. But it only slows me down and troubles me when I try and keep up with Eros and Ambrosia. Who might you be, golden mare?" Her voice, though strong, was soft and sweet, like icing on a cake. She stretched her left front leg out in front of her, her tail sweeping over her back slightly. Her ears wiggled a bit as she slowly heaved herself upright, taking her time to loosen the muscles on her wounded shoulder. Once she stood, she looked towards the othe mare, her expression soft and sweet.

Her eyes slowly blinked as she looked the other mare over, not having seen another golden mare for some time. She let a soft breath escape her nostrils as she shook the flies from her head. Her snowy forelock fell into her deep eyes, a white veil to peer through. Her snowy tail flicked once more over her back, carressing it with a gentle sweep.

"So, you will be alright? Who is Eros and Ambrosia? Part of your herd? I am Concrete Angel, but I am known mostly just as Angel. What's your name? We look almost exactly alike. Did you notice that?"
Angel watched the other golden mare get up slowly. It looked as if the wound would hurt, but the mare didn't say anything about it.
"Were you lying here to regain your strength? I'm sorry if I disturbed you..." Concrete Angel trailed off, not knowing what else to say. She was curious, but somewhat reserved. Angel was very curious, but that sometimes got her into trouble.

Angel used her tail to smack the flies along her legs and back, stamping her front hoof lightly. The flies were bad down near the water, and bothersome. She hated flies.


ooc:sorry for the crapola post..its almost 5 in the morning. I ish going to sleep now..

[Dusty's Girl]

"Yes, I am fine. Eros and Ambrosia are the rest of my herd. We all grew up together in the fields of Avarshon. We were war horses, if you know what that means. But I know that Eros is here looking for a lead mare for his herd. Neither myself nor Ambrosia wish the posistion of lead mare since that means standing alone with Eros and he seems like a brother to us since we all grew up together." She let a soft snort flow from her nostrils as she shook the flies from her head. Her snowy forelock rose and fell with the motion, her mane rippling slightly.

"And yes, we do look similar. That is very rare in the wild, perhaps we could become friends? And yes, I was gathering strength. Eros told me to meet him in the fields of cream when I could since it is still quite aways, he wanted me to take my time so as not to reinjure myself." Her tail rose and fell as she slapped at the flies, her ears wiggling slightly.

[[shorry. i didn't know you posted. xD]]

"That is good. I do not know what a war horse is, or Avershon for that matter. Is Eros," she paused, trying to place her words correctly as to not offend this mare somehow, "is he....nice? He doesn't forcebreed mares or leave them? I just ask because I've been known as a jinx, I always have bad things happen to me. I've had a stallion try to forcebreed me, another just used me to get to a friend."
Angel looked over to where she had come from, at all of the other mares and such. She had never been to a place where mares just....talked. No stallions, they just stood around talking to one another. She thought it sort of strange.

"Sure, I'd love a friend. Where are the fields of cream? Away from here? Yes, that is a good idea. Perhaps I could, perhaps I could come with you?" Angel asked, almost breathing the last question. She was afraid the other golden mare would say no, she couldn't come. But that wouldn't make much sense to Angel. But some horses were like that, although she felt this one might not be like that.

[Dusty's Girl]

The golden mare laughed slightly, "No, I guess that a wild horse would not know what I speak of at times, forgive me. And Eros, well, he is a pleasant stallion to be around. He has never been aggressive except in war and he has never even tried to breed myself or Ambrosia, though I do suspect that he has an affinity for Ambrosia though." Her giggle was light hearted and sweet, pure and innocent. Her snowy tail slowly swung behind her.

"The fields of cream is not too far away from here, I would figure. But I have not been there myself as of yet since I am lagging behind with this injury. But you would be more than welcome in our tiny herd. You are not a problem at all. And as for being a jinx, Eros and myself do not believe that horses can be jinxes no matter what." She reached out her muzzle to her, inviting her to come along with her.

[blackcatluvr]

"That's alright, I understand," Angel replied, laughing lightly. "An affinity? What is an affinity?"
Angel shifted her weight. Maybe she would go with this mare. She had nothing better to do, and a herd could definitely offer protection instead of wandering around by herself. Wandering by herself was very bad. Maybe this was the chance she needed to try to start her life over.

"All right. I'll go with you, once you've regained your strength. We wouldn't want you to lose it now that you've regained some back."
Angel stepped forward to the other golden mare's muzzle, and thought of something.
"Oh, by the way, what is your name?"

[Dusty's Girl]

She let another golden laugh flow from her muzzle, "Eros is in love with Ambrosia and Amby will have nothing to do with him!" She snickered softly, shaking her head. Shifting her weight, she tested her shoulder slightly. It was starting to feel a bit better, rested even. She let herself take a small step and determined that she was ready to make it the rest of the way to Eros and Ambrosia and these so called Fields of Cream.

"I am Adonis, sorry that I did not introduce myself earlier. I usually forget that part because I feel as if I am small sometimes." She let a soft snort ripple her nostrils as she let her tail fly behind her.

[blackcatluvr]

Angel laughed at the mare's comment on Eros and Ambrosia. "Poor Eros. I almost feel bad for him."
Angel tried to remember whether or not she had told the other mare her name. She didn't think she did, but she couldn't remember correctly. Oh yes, now she remembered. She had said her name earlier, when she first ran into the other mare.
"Oh, that's okay. Small? How so? And when will we be leaving? I'm not impatient, whenever you feel we should leave, I'll come."
She wondered what this new herd would be like, although Adonis said it was small. It sounded like it was only herself, Ambrosia, and Eros. That was fine with Angel. She actually preferred smaller herds to larger herds, she didn't feel the need to act out to get a little attention. Even if she didn't really like a ton of attention, some every now and then was fine with her.

[Dusty's Girl]

"It is very small, just myself, Eros, and Ambrosia. But that is alright in the way that we see it. At least we are well protected and stay together. You know that you will always be welcome there. And it is not too far from here. I believe that we can make it today, if we leave now." Her eyes traveled up into the sky to spot the sun. It was still a ways off from setting down for the night and it would not take forever to get there.

She turned to her nose towards the way that she had been told, waiting for the golden mare to follow her. Of course she would travel slowly, but that would have to be because of her shoulder. But Eros and Ambrosia knew where she was and should not worry at all.

[blackcatluvr]

"Alright, I'll come with you and join your herd. I would love to be in a herd again, to feel safe again. Thank you for letting me come along with you and join your herd. I am very grateful." Angel turned her head the way Adonis was gazing. "Do we go that way? Is that where the fields of cream are?" Angel questioned.
She wondered how long it would be until the sun set. It looked like a while yet, which was good. Adonis would most likely travel slowly because of her injured shoulder. That was fine with Angel. She liked traveling as to traveling fast. It gave her time to look at the scenery.
