Black eyes flicked from left to right as a beautiful neutral mare walked this realm. She wept back, where the trees where. Hiding, Hiding from anything that could get near her. She flicked her long black tail, her black and white mane twisted in the rainy breeze. Her long legs made every stride look effortless even tho' she was walking for days. Her brown ears flicked back and she spooked at the sound of a twig snapping, She looked back only to see that she broke it. Its nothing, just nothing, calm down breeze. She said to herself as she picked up a quicker pace. Her ears where back and her eyes where latterly bouncing of the trees as she moved deeper in to the territory. A large tree was close by and thats where she took cover. Her paint body now looked odd, because her light brown was not dark chestnut from the rain, and her white was now a grayish color. She shook herself and looked around in the rain that was getting thicker and falling faster. Where am i?
Oh shit, It’s the claiming grounds! She looked around, No one. She looked in to the sky, rain falling harder and faster and the clouds where turning gray and dark. She looked back in to the forest and flicked her tail again. I'm not getting picked up by some dumb ass stag. She thought and started to walk around the trees, the only thing you can see was her shadow and a little flash of white in the shadows. She stopped and looked around, she was still in the claiming grounds. She pawed at the ground and looked around, The rain was think and the sun was hided so she had no clue on witch way to go.
She started to walk her pelt soaked to the bone, She shook her pelt and walk a little more. Her light brown mane was darker and her eyes where filled with sorrow from the rain because rain made her sad. She looked around, the rain had made it so hard to see that she could really only see about a meter away from her feet. She snorted in frustration, she could not really see and she did not want to find a dark stag. Her hooves made a soft clicking noise as they hit wet rocks.
Dusk rushed away from the last mare, obviously she didn't want him. As he walked out he noticed a glimmer of white. As he strethed out his neck he let out a whine and he could simply not figure out if she was hiding or not. As he attempted to follow her his chocolate dun hide could be seen within the lightning flashes. All of a sudden Dusk got a bound of energy and decided on the spot to go talk with her... if he could catch her. As he sped up moving like a snake through the trees he had soon caught her. "Hi there !" he said cheerfully as he could, the lightning was irritating him. As he looked into the mares large optics he spotted tears, she was soaked and unhappy. He sided up to her and rubbed most of the rainful from her onto his chocolate coat, already patchy from the downpour.
Dusk just kept moving along with her, let her ignore him he wasn't that talkative anyway. It stride he took in her pace. A clopping noise bounced around as both of their hooves hit the wet rocks in unison together. Silantly he giggled. "Its rather amusing at how our hooves land at the same time." he smiled sheepishly. It was amazing at how slow he could go for one of his size and build, Kiger Mustangs were known for being rather speedy, but they are more well known for being unpredictablity. As he moved his height became increasinly deceptive, one moment he would appear 15 hands the next 18 hands. Of course that was his coat and the weather acting up for you.
For now they had not talked for a best part of half an hour, or so it seemed to him. Of course he had been in the claiming grounds for a long while spotting only one mare and she was already with a stallion. Now he had a mare that was silant, shy and sly. Well he could put up with that.
