Description: Mother and Daughter

"Now you realize that we could be seperated during this? Both of us coming here, we could be either taken as a two for one or just one of us taken away. Especially since your taller than I am. I mean really, stallions your height and above are a rare find. Take a look at your father." The smaller older mare knew that her daughter would have a harder time finding love, despite her daughter's beauty. And the fact that she was a daughter of Falcon's Glare, she'd either be despised or darks would line up for her excellent bloodlines.
"Yes, mother..." Ugh, shut up already! She talks more than anyone else I know, practically the opposite of me. I'm quiet, and I don't quite believe that I am of dark alliance. But she claims she's dark, and never shuts up. No wonder she always got her way with daddy, she'd just keep talking until he caved. And she's so determined to find a stallion for me, of dark alliance and preferably a leader of a land. HA! I could care less if some stallion wanted me, I've been courted before, and turned them all down. And if I didn't turn them down, daddy would. Yep, Daddy. I was one of the lucky foals of Falcon's Glare, one of the prized ones. I was and am, my daddy's little girl.
The two females stopped side by side, daughter taller than mother by a full hand. The smaller mare called out, searching for any response of a suiter or two.

The changes in the temperature, from my new home, to here, had began to irritate me. But I'd endure the irritation to begin expanding my herd. Even if I have to start forcing mares back to my mountainous home; I'd do it.
Thankfully, the sun was hidden behind the clouds - though it didn't hide my blood red pelt from anyone or anything. My hooves tredded upon the earth, silented by the grass and the thick feathering on my hocks. Coal black occuli stared out blankly from underneath my equally black, but immensily thick, forlock and mane. My stare and my stance showed I was obviously bored, or equally uncaring.
Eventually, my wandering gaze finds the outlines of two equines. Diverting my path towards the duo, their scent soon wavers into my nares, and revealing their gender. They smell almost the same, so I can tell they're either sisters or one is the mother of the other. I stop once I've gotten close enough, though I don't bother to hide the scars over my right half-blind eye or the ones scattered across my muscle scuplted bode. I no longer cared for my appearance."Hallo, meu doamne," I say, though it registers in my brain that they probably don't know my native tongue, Romanian as the humans called it. "'Ello, m'ladies. I am Vladimir Dracula, King of Exotic Mountains," I continue, my voice booming out like thunder, naturally, though my voice is burdened by my accent.

At about the exact same time, both mares cocked their heads towards each other as the approaching stallion spoke in a foriegn tongue. While the older one paid more attention to what he was saying, the younger one looked like she just starting spacing out. In which, she did.
"Ello sir," Spoke the buckskin splashed mare, flicking her tail against the silver painted mare to snap her back to reality and prevent her daughter from rolling her eyes with boredom. This stallion was bigger than the both of them, a perfect chance for Desire to prove herself. Otherwise it could take forever till someone got her. "I am Damn Regret, Former Alphess of Hell Valley. This is my daughter, Eagle's Glance of Desire, heiress to Falcon's Glare."
"Eagle or Desire, please." I interrupted with my 'I-already-don't-like-you-or-anybody-else' tone, sickened by my mother's 'We're-so-lonely, take-me-home-with-you-I'm-desperate' tone. Has my mother ever not been with someone? I doubt it. I did /not/ want to be here though, and I was not going to waste my time trying to impress some other lord. I've been told that I have the attitude of a typical teenager, some old mare that was once a human horse told me that. Whatever a teenager is...

I keep my good eye on the duo, as blood red audda flicker forward from their entrapment of my dark locks. A former Queen and with her daughter, who was an heiress no-less. Oh joy. Leave it to me to find trouble..
I can tell that the older mare's daughter doesn't really care about my presence. But that's fine, since I was once like that. I had learned my lesson with impatience very quickly - the scars showed across my pelt.
"It's a pleasure, Regret and Desire," I reply, bowing my large diadem slightly, showing that I'd been raised up as Royalty, within the rigid society of rules and structures. "Former? Would it be to much to ask what happened?" I ask, audda flickering back at my own voice, before perking forward once more. I was slightly curious, since I didn't want to ruch things.

"What's past is past, no need to look back upon it." Regret spoke quiety, not wanting to tell her past to an almost complete stranger. "It is the future I am concerned about, as me and my daughter are searching for a new home. And as you are a Lord, what are your lands like?"
Dang it, I can speak for myself. I don't need to search for a new home, I'm just fine living on my own. But noooo, gotta keep royalty in the blood. Can't risk leaving and falling for some low ranking rogue. Psh, like that'd ever happen. I flicked my tail impatiently, half-listening to mother drone on and on. I should've went with Daddy, I knew I should have. But no. I had to stay home with mom and learn manners and ettiquite and how to be lady-like. A smirk comes to my muzzle as I think of this, a lot of good that training did! Not. I still did what I wanted to, when I wanted too. Except when mother wouldn't shut up like now, and I'd be forced to come with her to places like this...((Eagle/Desire is gonna be fun to rp xD))

((.......... Should he take Eagle or Regret))

The obsidian brute cantered into the land, his chest filled with adrenaline. Finally, a land of his own....a daughter, although forcebred.....what more could a stallion want? And now he scented other mares. More playthings for him. But wait....there was a stallion's scent. Idiotic fool. He'd never take these mares from Onyx, no matter how hard he tried.
He stepped on the gas and continued on, then stopped before the pair. A mare and daughter, nice. "Greetings, pretty ones," he said bowing his head. "I am Black Onyx, Onyx if you prefer, King of the Deathtrap Riverbed." He raised his cranium and listened for their answer.
sassaboo - September 17, 2007 10:48 PM (GMT)
Oh joy, now there's too Kings here... Interesting, mother got her wish. So far, everywhere we go, we have royals for suitors. What's with that? Ugh, and even more to please mother, he's a bigger stallion as well. With a pitch black coat, he stood out quite a bit beside me, being almost snow white myself. Well, since the other stallion didn't seem to want to talk now, might as well re-introduce ourselves. "Eagle, Regret." I said almost boredly, receiving a tail-lash from my oh so proper mother.
"Excuse me, this is my mother, /Damn/ Regret, former Queen to Hell Valley. And I am Eagle's Glance of Desire, heiress to Falcon's Glare." My tone was like poison as I spoke the first half of my mother's name. I was just trying to be quick and get all this mess over with, the sooner the better. Why did she /insist/ on our 'proper' and 'respectable' callings? Ha! Like our full names are going to mean **** to anyone. Glaring down at my mother, I saw her toss her head slightly, a silent way to tell me to talk to this Onyx fellow while she chatted to the other guy, Vlad? I don't remember honostly, wasn't really paying attention then.
"/Pleasure/ Onyx." I speak, just a tad bit of sarcasm in my voice. It wasn't out of disrespect to the stallion, it was to mess with every nerve my mother had left.
Horsegirl - September 18, 2007 02:04 AM (GMT)
"No problem, miss. I've met quite a few arrogant mares in my lifetime, and I'm sure you won't be the last." Onyx said this with a small chuckle, barely detectable in his deep voice. As he said these words he studied the two mares. He didn't like Regret's full name much, even though he sometimes said things like that; he'd just call her by her second name. She was polite, and insisted that her daughter be, too. And Eagle? She seemed a handful because of her arrogant nature, but as he said, he'd handled ones more arrogant than her. Altogether, they weren't the best mares he'd seen, but he wasn't one to pass up some more herd members. With a slightly glaring look at Vlad he turned back to Eagle. He was eager to get these two back to his home, whether he'd have to force them or not, but he could wait. For now he'd just entertain them with small talk.
"I guess that you're tired of all this looking around for a home ith your mother," he started. "Mine was the same way. She'd drag me around, looking for somewhere for the two of us to live where the leader wouldn't kill me on the spot."
sassaboo - September 18, 2007 02:29 AM (GMT)
Arrogant!? Where the hell was he getting off at? Obviously, he's the arrogant one for thinking that, and all I'm trying to do is make a point that I am not happy and do not want to be here. Like it wasn't already perfectly clear, I pinned by auds back firmly. This stallion and I were not going to get along apparently...I'm sure Vlad could hold a much better conversation, that and no offense to 'blackie' here but he's much more handsome. My mind drifts to the other stallions I've met as well, all thinking the same thing. I'm arrogant, conceded, a stuck up brat if you will. All from first impressions. Has it not occured to them that I am just /not/ happy with my life at the moment? And I am /not/ in a good mood having to meet new stallions all the time? I've probably seen every type of personality, dark-wise, there is. And most of them are pretty much the same...
"Oh no, I love following my mother around everywhere with no luck and complete boredom." You could taste the sarcasm in the air it was so thick, and by my guessing, this stallion would either start losing his temper or remain eerily calm. There is no inbetween.
Spirit Dancer - September 19, 2007 08:26 PM (GMT)
A frown marrs my already scarred facade. Didn't his ma teach him some respect? He better watch where he treaded, or I'd teach the lad a thing or two. Black occuli, with their scortching glare, flicker towards the younger femme's mother. Regret, was it?
"My lands? A mountain chain, where the snow falls mostly year-round. You can see just about every land from the peaks; except for here, of course. Too much of a distance, I suppose," I replied offhandedly, as if it was some known fact.
Horsegirl - September 21, 2007 02:14 AM (GMT)
So this filly was going to be that way? Sarcastic, back-talking? Fine, fine. Let her be that way. It wasn't going to change anything, Onyx would just leave her here with Vlad and take her mother, Regret. Let the pretty boy take the hard one. Probably'd have more fun with her, anyway. Or he'd take Eagle and her mother and leave her in the Willow Grove. He'd heard that there was a rogue that lived there, haunting the grove, forcebreeding mares that dared to come. Let him teach her a lesson. That'd be fun. He smiled inside as he opened his maw to speak.
"All right," he hissed, "I get that you're pissed at me right now. I'm smart enough to at least get that. I'll cut the crap. You come with me, no more having to meet new stallions. No more being bored. Just living at the Riverbed with your mother. I know that you probably won't take my offer, but I can at least say I said something." Right about now he felt like taking this filly's head right off her shoulders, but that wouldn't be very good in her mother's eyes, now would it? He was just trying to keep his cool and not explode.

One aud flicked towards Onyx as he spoke to the mare's daughter, the other aud pinning back. Ugh, stallions with such short tempers. Rolling her eyes, she shook her head lightly then faced back to Vlad. "Your lands sound nice, to have a view of just about every land gives a good advantage I'm sure to catching others trying to sneak in unwanted." She spoke, simply trying to keep up the conversation in some shape or form. Her daughter on the other hand, was simply getting into a bigger arguement.
Oh you son of a gun, man I wish Daddy was here. He'd teach you to mind the way you speak to me. But don't worry you fool, I'm not that much of an idiot to stand here without a response to your thick skulled ways. So I'll spit my words to you, the more disrespect you show to me, the more disrespect I shall show to you. "I'd rather meet a thousand more brutes for the possiblity of meeting one decent one than to go with such an idiotic brute like you. I can almost gaurantee that I'd be bored hanging around your lands, or at least being around you." Hehe, it's fun to get in arguements sometimes. And my words to you are hardly a taste of the comebacks I can say to you.
Horsegirl - September 21, 2007 02:28 AM (GMT)
Now the black stallion was pissed. Totally pissed. Never had anyone talked to him that way! But oh well, he'd just leave these two. Plenty of mares in different places around this world. He'd find 'em.
"Okay, fine. You can be that way. You can stay with your mother and go with Vlad here. And I'm agreeing with you on one thing: yeah, you would be bored, since I'm almost always off doing other things. So good-bye. Hope we never see each other again." He pinned his auds back even more, gave a curt nod to Regret, pivoted and trotted off, his pride still dented and his body full of fight.
Spirit Dancer - September 21, 2007 07:56 PM (GMT)
I couldn't help but chuckle as the black stallion let his anger control his interrogation, and the younger mare's persistant stubbornness. Honestly, if he hadn't left, I'd of found it amusing to watch them continue at eachother. Otherwise, my interest was somewhat sparked my Eagle's constant and unwavering bantering at the black stallion. Challenging, and stubborn. It'd be something that would be fun to break of the young mare.
My attention returns to Regret, to reply, "Yes, a very good advantage, to say the least."
sassaboo - September 21, 2007 08:08 PM (GMT)
Hey, get back here! I'm not finished with you yet! Ugh, fine, run off like the weakling you are. If you can't take my attitude, your not going to get very far without meeting someone else with the same personality. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see mother give a nod to Vlad at his words, before catching her own words to him.
"I see. Well, as Eagle as scared off the other brute, would you mind if we were to come with you to your lands?"
Mother said /what/!? For one thing, I didn't scare off the other stallion, the big baby just got his feelings hurt and couldn't handle it. And for another, why is /she/ asking him if /we/ can follow him to his lands? I shot a glare down to her, ugh, if she wasn't my mother I'd be snapping at her right now....
Spirit Dancer - September 21, 2007 11:06 PM (GMT)
Regret's forward remakr catches me offguard for a moment, before I bow my head slightly in response to her decision. I can see the irritation in Eagle's features, but atleast she could say she had a home. It was much better being somwhere you didn't want to be than be stuck here for more than a day's time. I knew of the forcers that wandered, here, or atleast, I've heard the tales. I hoped that I wouldn't resort to such heathen acts - but if push came to shove, I might do so.
"Of course not, Regret," I reply with my slight bow of my diadem, before continuing, "The Mountains won't be so lonely anymore, with you accompanying me."
sassaboo - September 21, 2007 11:16 PM (GMT)
((I'll bring them in to the mountains asap))
