Hesitant thuds were heard on the crunchy yellow grass, and a weak and tattered Juliar coughed and wheezed as she entered. To be truthful, she looked hideous. Her once flawless and gleaming onyx coat was now dull and matted. Knots were here and there, and her mane and tail were nothing but tangles and snarls. Her mane was even mildly shorter than before, for a large knot had gotten stuck in a tree branch, which caused it to rip off. Yes, it had hurt, but Julia didn't really care.
Her wobbly poles carried her to the shallow riverbed, and she began to eagerly gulp down what seemed to be a few gallons of water. She coughed heavily, before letting her emotionless eyes close then open once more. Since her foal had died, she had been hiding in Surprise's land, hidden away and isolated while her adopted foal had been the only one allowed. She had recently returned from the cave she had called temporaly home, and was greeted by Surprise, but with affection Julia couldn't return. She knew Surprise loved her, but she never loved him in the first place, and part of her didn't care that he even exsisted.
She knew this was harsh, but she was midly angered by how this stallion hadn't even tried to come after her, and how he treated his other mares. He acted like an eager colt, only thinking of one thing in her mind. She snorted and began to groom her coat, body trembling and looking as if there was no muscle mass to its name. Her ribs were quite noticable, easily standing out and making her look almost like a walking skeleton. Indeed, she was very sick and suffered from malnutrition, and yet she was here, trying to survive.

 Arrow trotted into the land. Looking for a friend to live with his Routterrie. He looked aroun and saw many mares, beautiful of course. but one, just one caught his eye and he was drawn to her from the very begginning. As he slowly walked to her he made out her ribs, her knotted hair and her pain. He felt sorry for her and when he got to her side, he lifted her head with his maw and asked caringly, "Dear mare. Are you ok?" |

Julia was slightly startled, and jumped a little before coughing a little. Her grey/blue misty eyes kept their view on this stallion, taking in his strong features and caring tone. She knew he meant well, but being approached so suddenly had caught her by surprise. She was hesitant, but she soon stepped a little closer, her head dipped in greeting as she spoke in a whispery tone,"Y-Yes...thank you..." Her eyes showed fear and with her head low, it showed respect yet worry, as if she were a sad pup that was in trouble. Her ears were swiveled that announced her shyness, and her ratty forelock covered one of her eyes. She coughed and wheezed a little, before timidly taking a sip from the shallow river to quench her dry throat. Her gaze soon rested once more on this tyrant, and she slowly edged a little closer, to take in his scent.

Arrow smiled apologetically. "Sorry for startling you." He chuckled easily, with no worry in the world, and confidence. His confidence never came out as cocky though. It just wasn't in him. "Oh dear, you look hungry! I am Arrow. I am from Shadow Forests,. where it's always nice and cool, a small creek running through." He moved closer, drawn t her scent. Even on a helpless mare, and knotted hair she was beautiful in her own way. "Usually a river when there's no drought. And I would love it if you joined me."

Her head dipped down in forgiveness, and she ever so softly continued to stare at him. She listened to him speak more, and as he did, she let a small smile cross her muzzle in mild amusement. Even in this state, this stallion somehow knew how to make her smile, without even trying. Her ears twitched and she edged a little closer, before ever so slowly pressed her muzzle to his shoulder in greeting. She shot back at once, shying and shifting backwards a little.
"I...I'm Julia," she softly responded in that same tone, ears flattening a little before she once again took a step closer. She felt she could trust this stallion, but fear still got the better of her and caused her to be cautious. Her ears pricked forward for a second, before she let him droop once again. She stared him up and down, before ever so slowly nudging his shoulder again and speaking once again in a soft tone,"Okay...Arrow..." She took in his scent and instantly felt soothed, her eyes closing as for once she felt a peace. It had been so long since she had felt this way, the months with Surprise seemed torture. She had felt so alone, yet overcrowded at once. But with this stallion, she felt much more comfortable, and she felt better that she wasn't rushed into choosing like she had to last time.

Arrow smiled and comforted her. "Do you need to eat before you leave or can you make it? I am here to help." He said soothingly and lightly and shortly nuzzled as not to startle her again. Of course she was cautious. Any mare would be when in Delepio Meadows. "I have another mare, the Queen. She is wonderful, and would love to have you there." He said softly and quietly. "Come." He went beside her and led her to the edge of Delepio Meadows. She would live a long, happy life with him and hei growing herd. And she would never have to see this place again... |

Julia stared at him before shaking her head, getting a little closer and accepting his nuzzle, eyes opening to show she was alert. She stared into his eyes and continued to listen attentively, before giving a very soft nicker and pressing to him a little as they walked. Her eyes watched the edge of the meadow, and she turned to him, expecting to go now. Her ears were forward and she felt a little more confident, her knotted tail whisking and dull coat twitching at the flies eating at her. She couldn't wait, she was finally going to feel free.
