x.X.x. Angels lead the path to Heaven x.X.x.

The night was dark and peaceful, the stars lighting the earth for the eyes to see. Slight wind made the grass rustle and the trees seemed to shiver. Figures moved around in the starlit sky. Eight lay in that small little herd of which we call horses. The stallion was a ebony colored stallion not smaller then 15.3hh. The lead mare was a simple chestnut, almost the color of fire. The others were bays, and other plain colors…except one.

At night she looked like any other horse; black. But when the hot sun would rise into the blue sky and hit the snow colored clouds you would see you were wrong. This mare had ebony stockings that lay upon her iron limbs. They would travel up to forearm. There they would turn into a almost sand color mixed with black. This sand colored covered her whole bodice. On her cranium seemed to lay a black bald face, that was surround by light sand. And to top it off a black dorsal stripe runs along her short back and rump.

Now her figure might be harder to explain without her sounding so perfect. A thick ebony tassel covers each sweet chocolate-colored orbs. Perfectly shaped fuzzy auds perked forward. Thick heavy mane lay ‘pon a massive neck. Ebony kissers tucked into her wide-set chest. Rounded haunches were secured with muscle and power. Thick whip cord would surround her ebony hocks. Iron limbs carried this massive bodice and perfectly shaped hooves followed.

No doubt this figure was a light, but she wasn’t a typical light. She was not one to back off right away, she never wanted to fight or show weakness. She doesn’t have what it takes to be a dark. And a neutral sound crazy to her so she labeled herself as a light. But her cursing you ask is Elegia.

Elegia woke with a sudden jolt. What was it? Then it came again a hard cold wind. This wasn’t ordinary. Elegia let out a small nicker to the others and then turned away from the strong gust. The winds grew stronger and seem to make the trees bow to the figures before them. A shiver ran up Elegia’s spine as she stood there waiting for commands from the leads. But they did nothing but run. Elegia followed the mare at her fast gait. First it was choppy but smoothed out once she gained her footing onto the slick grass. Elegia had no reason to turn her cranium towards the rest of the herd but she couldn’t control herself. Terrified by what she saw she ran faster neck-in-neck with the lead mare. Trees were falling and the rest of the herd members were being crushed by the trees heavy weight. Every time Elegia heard a crack like a tree falling she would run faster, no longer turning her cranium to look.

Iron limbs carried Elegia out of this crazy wind storm. She passed the lead mare long ago at a tree that was to be jumped. That wasn’t her only obstacle. Rocks have fallen and fires were beginning to burn the ground to the earth’s core. Elegia knew she would never see them ever again for they all probably died, but she did know this day would stick with her…forever.

Lungs took in all the air Elegia could as she slowed her bodice to a walk then finally a halt. There were short breaths at first but then the filed out to her normal breathing. Elegia made no attempt to look at the new area she was in all she knew was that it was safe.

x.X.x. Whick iswhere Elegia belongs x.X.x.

<sub>The red roan frame could be seen pawing at the snow, snow covered his maw. Rasing his aerials he caught the sound of a femmora's call. He moved off towards the direction. A simple look upon his maw. He trotted threw the snow slipping lightly. He came down the side of a hill, sliding all the way down. His ebony pools gazed around the clearing for the femmora. He spotted her lone frame from the bottom of the hill.

Stilts carried the mustang roan at a swift walk. He stoepd as he neard her, Droping into a eleagant bow, he touched his maw to the ground softly. Just as he had seen his father do to new mares he meet. He raised up shakeing the snow from his pelt. He whickered a greeting softly.

Salutation's Fair Madian, I am Red Raven, Call me Red for short if ya wish. What is your dubbance?

red smiled softly, his ebony tainted pools gazeing softly at the fem, He tossed his dial as his forlock fell infront of his visuals. Sighing softly he watched his breath disapper into thin air. His whipcord flicked lightly. snow covered all his pillars and he had shaken it from his maw. A smile played with his maw. He held himself up but not as if he was higher then the others for he wasnt. Red was here for one simple thing. For love.

Red was tired of constantly being on the move. He was tired of being a loner. He wanted something diffrent. He wanted to feel the feeling of being in love agian. He wanted to settle down and start a herd for sure. And he wouldnt let anything happen to his mares like he did with Secret. It had been a simple accident but one he would never forgive himself for.

If i hadnt been of flirting i might've been able to save her from my brother. The sad but what he thought to be true thoughts dashed around his cranium. He tossed it softly pushing the thoughts to the back of his mind. he wouldnt think about it now. no he had to move on with his life. THe pain of loseing Secret was finally ebbing away. But would it truely fade compeltly.

Red hope not for the pain of losing Secret was gonna keep him consantly on alert hopefully. He couldnt deal with that pain agian. And he had put Kahlil threw so much by leaving her. And that hurt him worse. He snorted softly as he zoned back in to the present.</sub>

Elegia turned around in the thick snow. Her iron legs pushing through the snow. Once facing him she stopped. Yes there was another equine there but should she answer him or should she ignore him. She dipped her cranium to the powder snow until her kissers touched it lightly. She then threw her cranium up, causing her thick ebon tassel to fall ‘pon her auds and slide down to cover her chocolate orbs.

Elegia then made up her mind and decided to answer his question My cursing you ask hmm...they all call me Elegia. Yes she stumbled there for a second re-thinking it but she decided to get it over with. This stallion might know something that she wanted to know..only problem s what does she want to know.

Elegia stood statue still in the cold snow. She shook her bodice making the white powder fall to the ground and join the rest. Bits still lay in her ebon mane, for she could not shake them away. Then coming back to reality she asked herself what did this stallion want? She knew it could be nothing cruel for she guessed he was a light. Did she want to go somewhere else only for it to catch on fire again and listen to them die. No she didn’t but this stallion probably wanted nothing to do with a mare like her.

Large orbs tried to stare through her ebon tassel but it seemed impossible. With that she shook her cranium hoping her tassel would stay out of her eye shot. Yes there it was now she could see the stallion. He was a red roan, but that’s all she could tell. No breed was guessed…nothing. She then dipped her kissers to the powder and let it melt ‘pon her warm breathe. Her orbs always staying on the red roan stallion that calls himself Red Raven.

<sub>Aw, Its a pleasure Elegia, but a name as pretty as yours shouldn't be seen as a cursing, but a blessing.

Red put on a charming smile as he watched her softly. She seemed to be troubled by something from within her past. He let a soft snort erupt from his nares. His auds pricked forward to hear her lyrics. Elegia was a beautiful name an dit fit the beautiful mare. His ebony visuals watched her softly.

Lady Elegia, If you dont mind me asking but what are you doing in the CLaiming mountian? Surely a beautiful vixen as yourself would be with your herd.

Red looked at her softly, with great intrest. He extened his maw softly in greeting. His banner flickered softly as he watched her. A chilling breeze swept by him lifting his tressals and playing with them. He shivered lightly. Spring was here but it wasnt doind much good at clearing the snow. He gazed around the terra. This terra looked similar to one he had been into from his past.

Red shook away thoughts of his past. He looked to the ground at his hoofs. he rasied one softly to see the dirt below. he layed his hoof back down before looking back to Elegia.

Is there anything you would like to know about me or anytihng you would like to share?</sub>

[Lingen ♥ ♥]

Elegia lifted her cranium away from the snow and looked at him hard. Could she trust this stallion? He seemed fine to her, not like she hasn’t took any chances before. She waited a few minutes before answering. She thought of what she would say to him. Nothing came to her mind at first but she then started to talk.


I was with a small herd but uhhh...a fire happened and-She cut off short trying to think of what else to say. She didn't want this stallion to feel bad for her well they died. I figured trees fell on them or the fire burned them alive. Ofcourse she had to say something like burning them alive. How stupid could she be. Have you ever loved but then had it ripped out? If you wish not to answer then I could understand.


Elegia looked out from the way she came, she could here the screams from the others. It was a horrible sound but it seemed to keep her alive. It kept her iron legs carry her away from the great disaster. She knew her love was crushed for she could see it in her mind. She also knew that day would never leave her mind. It would always be there...always.


Elegia knew her questions and answers weren't the best. She hoped her question wouldn't make him leave already. She wished she would take it back, for know she knew it was a stupid question to ask. She shook her cranium turned back torward Red Raven. Would she always be herdless? Or would someone take in a mare as ugly as her.


Yes it was true Elegia thought she was ugly, once her love died she figured it was becuase of her. She knew she should have tried to save him. She never told anyone that she though she was ugly for they would then feel sympathy for her. That is about the last thing she wanted. People always talking to her like she was a foal or something. Elegia knocked her self back and pushed the thoughts away.

Yes Elegia i have. And my own brother caused it. When i was little about 6 months old i met a filly who was he same age as me, we became great friends but my brother was jelous. when i was three years old and so was Secret she had a filly. Who we named Kahlil, One day i was gone looking for anyone in need of a home. When disater struck. My brother came and was trying to kill Kahlil but killed Secret on accident. I was so upset and hurt that i took Kahlil and swore never to love agian. When Kahlil became three we found Galloping Free 2. Where she started her own family with a stallion. So i left her, it hurt to leave her but i had to. And today losing Secret Hurts just as bad as it did when i first lost her.
Red closed his maw, the pain and hurt errupted form within him. He closed his pools lightly as he felt the warm tears slowly try to fall from his visuals, he blinked them away before looking back to Elegia, sadness for her loss shown on his feauters but yet he was ready to try love agian but would he still be able. He should. The pain finally left him agian and he was able to think strat, he looked to Elegia forceing a soft smile upon his maw. His ebony pools gazed softy into hers.

But im ready to try for love agian.

[Lingen ♥ ♥]

Elegia stood looking at him for a while. His past was much worse then hers. He loved longer then her. Elegia didn’t know what to say. No doubt his was horrible to any horse out there. How could he have lived through it? She then stopped thinking. If she didn’t want people feeling bad for her then she thought he wouldn’t want the same.


Oh that is terrible, I feel stupid for asking such a question now. She could tell he was sad and she did cause it. Maybe she should leave since she just made things worse. Elegia shook her cranium adn told herself 'stop blaming things on yourself and grow up' It was ture she was acting like a baby. She straightened up and looked a different way. Sorry if I have upsetted you I really wasn't thinking. Trying to love again is hard but I wish you luck.


Elegia wanted to turn and walk off. No not because she didn't like the stallion because she felt stupid. She just really wasn't thinking. She didn't know really waht to do besides just stand there hoping she hadn't done anything horrible.

[Red♥]

<sub>Wait Elegia dont go.

He whickerd softly to her, before takeing off after her. He came up along side her. he gazed softly at her. A smile upon his maw. He looked away for a moment, takeing a deep breath he snorted softly. Looking back to her he gazed softly into her pools.

It's alright, the pain of losing Secret is finally ebbing away. You didnt do a thing wrong, and you shouldnt feel stupid or anything. I did ask first.

Red walked along side her. Watching her softly with intrest. She was so wonderful she reminded him of Secret. And that hurt sort of but he had to get on with his life just how secret would've wanted it.

I was hopeing maybe you would join my herd, you would be my first mare, cause im slightly new here.</sub>

[Lingen ♥ ♥]

Elegia stopped trudging through the snow. She turned and looked at Red Raven. Why would a stallion like him want a vixen like her. He could do so much better. Once again she was coming down on herself. She shook her cranium and then answered.


I'd love to, but do you really wan't a mare like me in you'r herd? Nothing bad was held against him, just her. She thought he could have a herd of mares in no time but did he wan't to start with her?


She couldn't find a very good reason why she should even ask that question. She then ignored it and thought of something else. Was it that easy to read her thoughts. She use to be able to hide them but she must have lost that.


Yes' I'll join for sure She knew she already answered but maybe he would ignore her first comment and just listen to her second one. She didn't want another broken heart but she didn't think this stallion would be able to do that.

[Red♥]

_{Red tossed his dial happily. Im glad you've decieded to join me. he nuzzled her softly. he stood still watching her happily. Bumping shouder affectionatly. Now we need a home. Have anything in mind? He looked at her his ebony pools shinning brightly. He had made another step towards being able to love agian hopefully.}

[Lingen ♥ ♥]

Elegia was happy he ignored her first answer. She nudged his neck then thought about where to live. Nothing really came to mind. The shady river or babbling creek sounded fine but she thought he should have the pick.


Pick anything for I will follow you


She knew she would always be in his herd. Yes she was just the start but hoped more would be to come. Thoughts came into her mind but before she could think about them she pushed them away. Later maybe...or never.

[Red♥]

_{Well how does Enchanted Woods sound to you. I just put a claim on it.
he smiled affectionly as he gave her a soft nuzzle. His ebony pools gazed around the terra the snow was melting away and the sun was ebbing away into the horizon, giving the moon its turn to lead the way for the equines of Galloping Free 3. He tossed his dial softly before rearing playfully as if saying goodbye to the sun. He watched it set.}

[Lingen ♥ ♥]

Enchanted woods sounds even better then.


Ahh yes it seems perfect


Elegia looked around knowing she no longer belonged here. She took in all the scents so if she had to come back she knew where it was. But to her she hoped she would never have to come back.


O0c: I guess we start posting in the Enchanted woods area right?

[Red♥]

yup!! saee ya there.))
