Learn to live a life of [Hope]

The scents of mares past and present were on the wind, and I breathed a sigh of...pleasure. Pleasure to be in a new area that I could explore. My black and white tail slapped my sides as I moved into a canter, delving farther into the lands. The cream in my coat looked more pink and yellow than white as the sun to the west of me started settling down to let the moon have his chance.

The air was chilled, just slightly. I smiled a slight smile as I slowed down, the breeze rustling the weeds around me, brushing against me softly. I settled into a small prance, my neck arching as I let myself go, my guard down, taking what was mine. No one was around but me. At my old herd, I would get in trouble for leaving their sight. Maybe a big cat had gotten me, or something even more fierce. But here, there was no one to care. Currently, there was no one to care. A herd I would like, but not with such strict rules as my first one. It will come in due time.

Senture

I galloped into the land, my banner held high.
My coat was shining in the sun, warming my body.
I snorted as I stopped. I looked around, there were only a few mares... but one caught my eye.
I wanted my herd to grow, as right now it was just my Queen and I, maybe a foal to come.

I trotted over to her. I bowed my head. "Hello M'lady." I said. "I am Senture, may I know you name?" I asked with a smile.
The breeze rustled the weeds around us.

The rustling of another was around. I quickly turned to notice a giant coming my way. I quickly stopped my tomfoolery as he approached me. As he bowed his head, I bowed mine, my forelock shadowing my eyes from view. Quickly, my rambunctious behavior subsided. "M'lord, I am called Arietta. Tis a pleasure to meet you." I brought my head up. My heartbeat was quick. This is what I get for letting my guard down.

[admin]

I nodded. "It is a pleasure to meet you Arietta." I said with a smile.
I shifted my weight as I looked at her. She was kind, I hoped she would join my herd.
"Arietta, I have a herd, well only a lead. I was wondering if you would like to join us in the land." I said. I looked around, enjoying the sun. Then turned back to her.
"My Queen is Silver Scarlett, she is very kind and would most likely welcome you to the herd." I said with a smile.

[[N]evvy]

A herd? Small one, but a herd no less. But there was just one implication. "Would I be able to travel freely among open lands if I wish?" If not, there was no way I would go. I needed that little bit of freedom to tend to my curious heart. The sun was almost down, splashing us both into darkness. Amber eyes watched cautiously every shadow that moved. Even if there were a giant with her, there were those that did not care.

I watched her. "If I know you are trustworthy not to leave the herd without my knowing." I said.
Shifting my weight, I looked around. There were only a few other horses.

Powerful muscles that also showed grace rippled slowly beneath a black and white splattered coat. Green eyes filled with much pride kept their gaze ahead as they searched for a mare. The young stallion had just claimed a wealthy piece of land, and had come here in search of his lead, of whom he would think of as his star.
He seemed to hold a regal disposition as his powerful hooves with sharp edges thudded onward, while his strongly built neck arched in a flaunting matter. He stopped, his black ears pricked as his nostrils flared at the familiar scent of a mare. He looked to the side of him to see a gorgeous mare with a white coat. He caught sight of another stallion with her, and resisted the urge to whinny in distaste. He listened to their conversation as he walked closer, making sure to hold his head high in pride and move ever so smoothly to make himself look strong, elegant, and handsome.
"I'm sorry to interupt, but I just couldn't help but notice you," he spoke in a deep voice, looking at the mare before him with a charming smile,"I'm sorry if I sound nosy but, I would just like to add that I, would gladly let you roam my lovely land filled with many rows of apple trees, and lush grass to eat." He looked at the other stallion and gave a snort,"Greetings, sorry to barge in on your conversation. You don't mind do you?"
His green orbs glinted slightly in confidence, a sign that only Senture could see as he awaited his response.

[[N]evvy]

She was about to reply when another stallion of the same color as her came near, interrupting their conversation. She listened to what he had to say before looking over at Senture. "There is no issue with you interrupting us. I am Arietta m'lord, and might you grace us with your name, kind sir?" She bowed her head for a second time, all the while her eyes roaming his body, critiquing it. It did not fare well next to Senture, for he was pure giant. Once again, her white and black forelock covering her eyes before bringing her head back up and shaking it out of her way. He might be the same color, but he was not of the same breed. He was stockier, and even if he wasn't like Senture, he was well-built. She looked over at Senture to see what he would have to say.

(Bethany, sry that Arietta keeps calling Senture a giant.)

Renegade dipped his strong head politely to the mare, still bearing that charming smile as he spoke in that deep voice once more,"I am Renegade, and what might be your name? Divine?" He took in her scent a little, enjoying it very much as he gently gave her a nudge in greeting. He rose his head proudly and looked to Senture, his ears pricked as he continued looking at the stallion boldly.

[admin]

I looked at the stallion, but gave no look of worry.
If beautiful Arietta did not want to come with me, that was her choice & I would respect that.
I nodded to the stallion in greeting.
Then turned back to Arietta. I smiled at her and waited for her answer.
I flicked my tail at a fly, it was getting warmer.

[kiwawa]

Renegade seemed to sense this attitude in Senture, but didn't comment or respond as he continued looking at Arietta gently. He may have had that proud and flirtactious attitude to him, but if this mare were to become his queen, then he would treat her with a much more gentle and caring passion. He didn't want to scare any mares or foals, and had no intentions of harming this one in any way.

Arietta looked at both stallions. Each had their viable pros, and each had their cons. Such a hard decision was presented to her. First off, she looked at Renegade. "Arietta, tis a pleasure to meet you." The saddlebred did not want to hurt either of their feelings. She did not want to choose between them. If only she could split herself in half and let each have one piece. But she could not. "I am sorry..." It was the moment to present the truth. She had to go with the one that gave her the most. "...Senture. Your home must be lovely, but I would like to reside with Renegade." I looked over at Renegade, giving him a smile, moving over to stand next to him in graceful walk. Facing Senture once more, she added. "It really was nice to meet you, and I hope our paths cross again."

[admin]

I nodded my head and sighed. "It was a pleasure to meet you too Arietta." I said. I turned, and galloped back into my land.

[kiwawa]

Renegade looked at Arietta a little surprised but didn't show it for too long as he gave a smile to the mare and gently nudged her neck before gently lipping her mane with care,"Arietta, a gorgeous name for my Queen." He looked into her eyes with his own and backed up a little, only to turn while having his head towards her,"Shall I show you to our lands?" He gave a sweet smile as he patiently awaited her answer.

[[N]evvy]

Arietta nodded her head happily with another smile, giving one last fleeting glance to Senture. She nipped Renegade affectionately, feeling him pull my mane before turning at last toward where home was now going to be. She made the right decision. She knew she dead. She sighed contentedly before saying, "Show me where heaven is, m'lord."
