Lessa awoke with a start and blinked rapidly. Huda was there, looking at her. What did she want?
The answer became apparent as she yawned and the smell of a stranger came to her attention, a mare. In seconds she was wide awake, looking around. She was not hard to spot, standing in the clearing in plain view was a chestnut mare of a slim build. She had a way about her that she could not put to words in her mind... something...
"Ah," she said, jerking her head back as if surprized by the appearance of such a creature. She did not speak again, knowing that she was thinking the same thing Huda was... what the hell was that mare doing? She shifted her weight, pressing against Huda briefly as she pulled the morning air in through her widened nostrils to get a better idea of the mare's condition.
She was a mare alright, she smelled of sweat... and anger. It did not sound good to her. Still, not being one to instantly judge others, she kept her doubts to herself and nodded to Huda, she wanted to go closer.
She did not like the way this new mare stood, the anger and challange in her stance. The arrogance in her eyes. She looked older than the mares in her her- (NOT HER HERD, she corrected herself)... her friends, still not as old as her... but that way she stood.
However, she wanted to be friendly, if this new mare had a fighters spirit in her, surely she could be useful and a dependable gaurdian to take the pressure off them and give them more of an advantage if they encountered any stallions. Maybe it was nothing, maybe she was alright and was just misunderstood. Whatever the outcome, it would need to be handled in the most civil way possible, so to prevent a fight and possible harm to the young one whom they'd all seemed to have taken into their hearts.
Matching her strides with Huda, she and the young mare approached the stranger.

Azale nikkered to the horses as they came near. She didnt know ther intentions but if they werent good she was ready to fight. She glanced agian at the sleeping horses Then quietly intruduiced her self to the approching mare's. Hello My name is azale it is nice to meet you. She bowed to them to be respectful they seemed a lot more plesant than isabell.

Seeing the mare's amiable reaction to their presence, Lessa smiled, feeling better. Maybe she could help them. Gently she approached beside Huda, reaching out to brush her nose against the stanger's as she drew close enough. Her ears pricked forward, her eyes shining inquisitively as she drew in the other mare's scent. She smiled as she pulled her head back, before replying quietly;
"I am Lessa... this-", she said, playfully bumping her rear into the hip of the mare beside her "Is Huda, we are of..." It came before she could stop herself-" The Damis herd...". Mentally she cursed herself, but kept going, "We're on the run right now, our stallion, Fajer, is tied up..." She stopped, turning her head to Huda to let her finish the story.

As Lessa had done she gently touched noses with Azale quickly exchanging scents. The chestnut mare did appear to be trust worthy so at Lessa's prompt she continued the herds story Flame can to claim Emera and all else that Fajer owned, At the mention of the shadowed mare she turned her crania to point out the dark coated mare then continued We came here to escape incase Flame won. She had told the story simply enough, unsure if even she knew the entire coplexity of the issue.

Azale touched nose's with the two mare's. She relaxed a bit. They seemed friendly and kind. It is nice to meet you both. her voice was in a whisper because she dident want to wake the other's. Then she said Im sorry about your lead stallion, but it's a good thing you got away while you could. She smiled softly to both mare's. I am from... she stopped her self not wanting to tell the mare's how horrible she had acted and what she had been through. Then she said wanting to get off the subject. Well it's not that important right now, So where are you guy's headed to? Then Azale looked away a little embaressed at how she must look. She looked like she had just run a marithon which she kind of did...

A cool breeze rushed through the land as a reminder that summer had indeed ended and the long cold winter would soon begin. In responce to Azales question she looked over at Lessa knowing the mare unlike herself knew were they should be headed. The question played in her soft orbs as once again a chilling breeze rushed past.

Casting a glance at Huda, Lessa cleared her throat.
"Though I've not spoken of this with Emera, the herd leader yet (she seemed the struggle with the idea of addressing the younger mare as leader for a moment), I think... we are heading to the shore... You see, this stallion that is after Emera is intense and fearsome... almost like a weather phenomenon... a tornado or something... so we've been trying to throw him off our trail... and keep him off..." She paused, swallowing as she looked around, briefly scanning the horizon before returning her gaze back to Azale... "we need to get far away, I was thinking the Sabiha valley, but we'd need to cross that mountain to get there and I don't think we could do that with the little one in tow..." Turning her head she looked back and the sleeping mare and the child at her feet... and sighed. "As of right now", She said, "We're just waiting for the right moment."

Azale looked at the mare she seemed nervous. Oh I see, it's very horrible you have to do that. Azale felt sorrow for this lowly band of mare's. She glanced around because seeing lessa do that she did it to.Then she to started to feel nervous.

Emera's eyes fluttered open to the bright sun aluminating the clearing. She glanced to see Amriah sleeping at her feet and let out a sigh of relief at the bundle of joy whom lay close to her. She enhaled largely and a strange scent came to her nares she immediately tensed and looked around noticing both Huda and Lessa had left her side. She looked to see them standing in front of a chestnut mare. She was pretty yes but why was seh there? She shook her head of the diminishing sleepyness and struch a dominate position. She glanced down at Amriah not wanting to leave her side but decided she would be fine for the time being. She trotted toward Lessa and Huda letting out a nicker to them but she was slightly annoyed they had not woke her when this mare had first been discovered so she decided to remind Lessa and Huda that she was still the lead mare.
She held her head higher and her ears erect at the new mare showing off her elegant head and well muscled frame. Her pose clearly stated " I'm in charge ". She looked at the other mare and remineded herself that they needed more to join and the more the better. She looked over the mare's slim figure she was built for speed and agility like herself and she saw the fire in her eyes which was something to be noted but if she could help protect her Amirah she would most definatley be welcome to join them. held her banner high as well as her dome and said, " I be Emera Lead Mare of the Damis Herd. What brings you here? " her voice was trodden with a slight authority yet it was not rude but had a more curiouse sound to it.

Azale looked over at the pretty black lead mare. She walked with athority but still held an eligant walk. Azale nikkered to her and bowed in a gracful manner like she had done with lessa and huda. Then before she awnsered she exchanged scents with the mare. My name is aowyn and I hail from the Sabiha Herd. When she said where she came from her voice became quiet yet harsh. She looked away in ashame hoping the lead mare diddent really notice. ((sorry I know it's not that good, but it is late lol))

Emera looked over her approvingly after she lowered her head and exchanged scents with her. Her scent registered in her mind for future reference as she once again looked her over this time approvingly. She seemed a lovely catch for any herd. She noted the harsh tones of her voice when she spoke of the Sabiha herd. She knew of it and of the stallion and his young fae who ran it. The word was they were flourishing yet she began to think otherwise at the way this mare was acting. She watched as she looked away and Emera decided to change the subject so she asked, " Would you like to join our ranks? " She had relaxed but she looked over her shoulder to see if Amirah was alright and looked back as she seen her daughter still sleeping soundly in the warm rays of the sun.

Azale looked over to emera's daughter and said in a hushed tone Your daughter is beutiful. She had alway's wanted a foal of her own. Then azale looked at emera and let out a quiet whinny of exitemed, she did this quietly because she dident want to wake the little filly. I would love joining your heard. She pawed at the ground exitedly and flaled her chesnut crown up and down. She was over whelmed with joy now that this heard had exepted her they seemed nicer than the Sabiha Herd. When she thought of waht had happed there she stopped pawing and flaling and just stood quietly her mind apparently some where else.
