[Belleza]

<sup>Belleza had been alone for over two months now. Just thinking of what had happened that led her to this moment was sickening. The fire had scard her poor body though only a little. A small scar on her rear was all that was left to remind her of the terrible comings of her being alone. Her mother had tried to save her but she herself had died. Her father had gone to help clear the herds but he to never came back. Belle was trilly alone. She was a very small though gangly filly covered in both white and black paint. Though her coloring was on her very uniquelly, like someone had splashed a large amount of black paint on a white body. One of her eyes was surrounded by black while another was surrounded by white. Belle just didnt know what to do. She had been threatoned several times allready from dark horses that found her wandering around. It frghtened her to be alone in a place that she didnt know anyone or know anything around her. She had nowhere to go. She had gotten enough courage to ask a mare where it was she was supposed to go and she had said the mare claiming mountain, so that where she was now. She had seen many stallions come and take mares away but no one paid any attention to her. Belle was frightened for she was more alone now than she had ever been in her life. She had been weaned before her time and even now she looked as if she could use some good food. Her body was very skinny and you could just vaguely make out every single one of her ribs. And it was a shame that a mare like this should go to waste unless she had a home soon. She would become a very elegant little mare as soon as she was grown.

Belle stood in the claiming grounds frightened of what she may find. The black and white filly had first mistakenly walked into the dark claiming grounds first and that terrified the poor filly more than anything else in the world. All the horses were mean and menacing. With all of her energy Belle galloped down into the light claiming grounds hoping that maybe, just maybe these equines were kinder than the ones at the dark claiming grounds. Now Belle was in the light and just waiting for someone to take her home. Someone who would care for her like a daughter so that she would live a long and happy life. If she were alone for another month than she definetely would not last much longer. She needed to be cared for allot better than she tried to take care of herself for the past couple of months. Now she needed a home more than anything else. The little filly walked around a large tree for some time trying to keep herself entertained utnil a small butterfly. The butterfly flew around her head and Belle decided to play with it. Bucking and playing with newly found strength Belle began to play neighing loudly until the butterfly flew away. Belle looked after it looking very tired even though she had not played for very long she didnt have much strength to be able to play. Now she laid herself down on the ground and began chewing on the grass feebly waiting for someone to come and take her home.

The wind ruffled the leaves of the newly bloomed trees, the grass rustling together, all combining to make the sound of spring. It was the season of rebirth, the season of new things. The wind broke up Xavier's silken tassles as he walked apon the worn turf of the claiming mountain. Nares caught the scent of a young femmora, too young. A puzzled expression sat apon the russet tainted features of the young stag, a foal, in the claimence mountain? It seemed odd. He lifted his nares lightly to the breaze, hoping to catch the scent of maybe a mother, or some other sort of gaurdian, but there wasn't one. His brain pan came up, and auditives flicked apon his majestic poll, listing, waiting for something.

He started forward once more. His talons kicking up dirt that was loose apon the terriane. Onyx pools glittered as he spotted an alabastor x onyx frame. He glidded over to the young coltine, a small, confused smile apon his russet features. Auditives flicked forth apon his majestic crown, and his dreampan lowered lgithly to the filla's level, his auds perked. Mug opened lightly, smooth, kind lyrics flowing from them.

"Dear, aren't you quiet young to be here in the claiming mountian?"

He nudged her gently with his mug, a questioning look in his dusty onyx pools.

[sorry, really bad, in a rush..]

^{ooc:Tis ok Im not feeling that great so mine might not be very good.
Belleza stood around quietly not knowing exactly what was going to happen here. Her energy was building up ever so slightly so she decided to let off some steam. Bucking and playing neighing loudly and tossing her small crania. Sliding to a stop a unfamiliar scent came to her small nares. Eyes went wide terrified when a stag came into view. Since she had been alone she had had many unpleasant experiences with stags so why would this brute be any different. Taking a hesitant step back with the fire colored brute came forth she was surprised to see him ask a question so kindly. Cocking her head in confusion she looked at him as he lowered himself down to her level. I have nowhere else to go dear sir. Belle said politely bowing her head to the powerful equine. He seemed to be someone of great importance and he was very kind towards her even though she was a lowly foal. This confused her a great deal but apparently not all stags are mean ones. Maybe there were some that were kind. Tossing her crania and pawing the ground in the snow, snow flying everywhere up in Belle's face and all over her body making her look like a white flicka and not a black and white one. Giggling with one large shake all of the snow fell off her side and back towards the ground. Belle looked at the stag awaiting for him to speak.}

Auditives flicked forth apon his mohagony crest. He lowered it even more, his onyx pools slightly higher then hers. He cocked his crania lightly in confusion, a small, amused smile appearing on his brawn features as she did the same. She was a funny little flick, quirky, but respectful and able to take care of herself. A small smort erupted from his nares as he looked down on her, banner lashing out at his brawn rump, his onyx pools sparkling with laughter. She amused him greatly, she'd provide quiet alot of laughs if she were to join a herd, she would bring a lot of smiles to a lot of features, that was forsure. Pillars shifted his weight gently, and his dark eyes moved off the alabastor and onyx flick, to the skies for a moment, then back to her. Auditives flooded with her lyrics, and mug opened, his own vocals spilling from his velveteens.

"I see, well have you a dubbance? I am Xavier, King of Power Plateau."

He watched as she frolicked lightly in the snow. She was playful yes. His own mug came down, biting at the cool white substance, then letting go, winter was his favorite, it always had been. His onyx pool moved back to her, and his pillar kicked some snow around, a smile coming apon his brawn features. It seemed like yesterday when he himself was a young coltine, playing and frolicking in the snow. Banner lashed out at his sides, his nerves stinging where they his. A cold zephyr picked up his tassles, tickling his slightly arched boa. He could still play, he could still frolick, but only in the comfort of his own home. Silent thoughts about his herd wandered through his crania, and how there were no foals, let alone any mares. A sigh escaped him, and he looked back to the flicka, a gentle smile apon his mug.

<sup>ooc:sorry this took so long I got sick,worse.And sorry the post is so bad.

Belle looked up at the stallion hearing his voice seemed to calm her down a great deal. He seemed like a kind stallion but would this change. Belle thought for a second to not tell him her name but being a filly she went against her better judgement. I am Belleza. Pleased to meet you Xavier. Belle pawed in the ground and watched as the snow flew everywhere. She loved the snow because it meant the start of a new year. Or atleast that was what she had been told. Typically she just loved to play in it and make herself go from black and white to white completely. Giggling Belle looked at the stag and waited for his answer. Why did he want to know about her so bad. This confused her a great deal even though she knew allot about the world this was confusing her. All she had come here to do was have a home and yet this stallion was making casual conversation with her. She badly needed to be taught about this world more. She needed a mother.</sup>

Snow fell gently around the haream, the sunshine glistening off the crysalized particals. Banner lashed out about his rump, dark onyx pools watched her lightly, a smile reflected apon his brawn features. He stepped closer ot her, snow coming up and pelting her onyx and alabastor frame lightly, a chuckle edmitting from his mug and he pawed the snow lightly, feeling the coldness apon his pillars. His auditives flicked forth with interest, and his nares took in the flicka's scent. SHe was young, and smart, but she still needed a mother, she still needed a father, no matter how indepentant she seemed. His auds caught her lyrics, and he nodded, he was glad to meet her too.

Onyx pools continued to look at her, trying to figure her out, why she was so happy, even though she seemed to be orphaned? She was a wonder, that was for sure. He knew that she would be happy in the herd, and that he would be happy to have her there. He stepped closer to her, his mug brushing her back lightly, onyx pools looking down on her, a smile caressing his features. Onyx gazed looked away from her, off into the clear azure sky, silently wondering how the wolrd could be so sunny, and cold at the same time. THe world was such an odd place, so mixed up and hectic. But if you stopped to look at the sky, or play in the snow, everyhting in that moment, could seem at peace.

His attention back to the onyx and alabastor flicka, so sweetly covered in snow. HIs mug opened, vocals edmitting from them.

"How would you like to have a home? And a father? I can offer you both, if that is what you wish. Your welcome to come to Power Plateau with me and be my daughter."

He moved away from her, the snow sticking to his brawn frame. He shook it lightly, only ridding it of the cold substance momentairily.

^{Belle pawed the ground gigaling then images began flying in her head. The smile quickly turned to a frown as the fire seemed to swarm around her mind. Shaking her crania to try and get rid of the image she was suddenly caught off guard when Xavier spoke. Her whole body began to shake as the images of her screaming mother and fighting father came into her head. Finally the images went away and Xavier was there in front of her again. Hearing him speak a smile returned to her face as soon as she realized that he was going to take her home. Have this kind stallion as her father. Of course. Why not. But then something else came into her head. If she was to become his daughter did that mean that she was to become heir to his throne or she would just be sent away like the other fillies in a band like that. She had been heir to her fathers herd but all she really wanted was to have a place to stay and now he was giving her a place to stay. I will gladly go with you Xavier and it would honor me to be your daughter. She finally had someone to protect her and love her like she needed to be loved. She had a family of her own now.}
