Red Stood In the center. Next to the small lake. he rasied his dial. his auds pricked forward, his maw opened softly, his bugle rang louldy threw the terra as he called for all his mares. He watched for them with growing concern. Where they all still here or was there only a few. Red tossed his dial gentle as she watched for them. His whipcord swiped softly at his rump. His ebony pools searched the terra gentley.

<sub>The stocky mare's dial hung level with the rest of her topline as she heard her King's call. She lifted her crown and picked up her pace to a bouncy little jog, whinnying in answer to Red's call, letting him know that she was coming. She squealed again, picking up a flowing canter, her tassles all flowing out behind her as she pounded softly over the terrain, her hooves thundering across the atmosphere.

Finally, her king was in sight, and she whinnied again, her orbs brightening as she cantered a circle around him before stopping and nuzzling him affectionately, rubbing her crown against his before stepping back to gaze at him expectantly.</sub>

<sub>Elegia pricked her auds at the sound of a whinny. It was from her Lord. Elegia tossered her cranium, throwing her tassel away from her visuals. She began moving at an easy two-beat gait but sooned moved into a canter. Her hooves hit the earths lithosphere lightly. She could now smell other equine scents. She was ot nervous but excited.


Fiannly she saw two figures, Red Raven and an unfamiliar mare. She slowed to a walk as she came closer. She gave a slight nod to the mare and then face Red.</sub>

[Someday]

<sup>some time has passed now, and i miss being among others. i don't really know what i have been doing; it seems like a dream now. i only know that i have matured slightly, though i still do not understand things. but that thought is for another day. i was grazing. i felt the winds come and tell me that autumn was here. it breathed to me and told me of the colors of another world. the human world. i listened. it was all very interesting. but my lord's call then broke apart my thoughts and frightened the wind away. i didn't mind. my lord is now my life, even if my feeligns for him are a jumbled mess.

i trot towards him, following his sound, scenting his musk that hung in the air. i approach him, and take notice of two unfamiliar mares. his other loves? i feel something within me, and makes me all the more confused. i know there are more mares bound to come. more of his 'loves'. i don't know what to feel; the past season has been a childish fog in my mind. i cannot understand. stallions who have many doves says he loves them all equally. but that is all they claim. perhaps in truth he only really loves one or two, and the rest is just to enlarge his herd? i don't know. but i do know that right about now, i am feeling like the mares who are just there to exist. not really anything special. for i have never been.

unsure of how to greet the him and the other two, i just utter a whicker. i feel out of place. i let my legs carry me only close enough to hear him clearly. i do not want to intrude in his peace. i say nothing. i don't think i should until my lord says so.</sup>

Red looked softly to the three mares thathad arrived. Elegia, Livana, and Unnamed. Red nuzzled each softly in return. He smiled before letting his soft call rang once more. For his daughter Symphony. Seeing her red pelt he nodded approvaling. Turning back to the others he smiled brightly.
Hello M'Dears. How have you all been, It seems like an eternity has passed since we last talked.

[Someday]

<sub>i have missed so many things. touch and feels. familiarity. communication. for so long i have had but the other animals of the lands to watch and talk with. i cannot understand them, and they have no way to listen to me. but they listen, whether they understand or not. and i become comforted by letting my loneliness pour into him so he may let it off somewhere else. all the time of isolation has given my view of the world change. life is not so pleasant as it used to be. i can have not too much time for being naiive. innocence is now a joke. all that matters now is survival.

but what i really wish for is to love truly, with all my body and soul. i do love red, but only as how a peasant might love a lord who is kind and good to him. i want to know to love as is true. as is a soulmate's desire. i know attraction, desire, want. i know the strong ones, the weak ones. i feel strongly for my lord who is now also my mate; i know i love him. but i cannot know if i truly love him, with everything. i don't know if i love him enough that i could sacrifice everything for him, as true lovers perhaps may do. i just don't know anymore. but i can't run away. i won't the isolation, it is not for me. for even if i may now be able to sacrifice all for him, i still love him enough to stay by his side, proudly. for now.

i feel his warm skin on mine, speckled with the slightest scent from the others. i feel a deep anxiety within my gut as i see him place his loving care onto the others. i remember the life stirring within my body. i am filled with feelings of wonder as i think about the foal who i know will soon come. i know that at least i can love it when it comes. i can love a foal. i can truly sacrifice everything for my own flesh and blood. i know it. i wicker lovingly, pushing aside my thoughts as i find my eyes wandering.</sub>
