ooc; Is Miss Raven still available? :)

((Why yes she is =D))

ooc; Oh goody. I hope Fate is good enough. :)

<sub>I was getting tired of the Plains. Kismet seemed to be disappearing and Spirit Dancer was a little too quiet. I've changed now and here I was, traveling away to go find my own companion to keep me company. I wanted to live my life not boring, wanted to be more outgoing. Too quiet was I. Too boring I am. So here I go to venture out and find myself here. Seeing those two colts back there made me want a family, made me want to love for once in my life. I was young, right? Being young and alone didn't sounds too good.

Or was I being too needy? Just leaving the herd to go find someone. Was I desperate? Or did I just want expeirance? A mare had never caught interest in my eyes before. Never once had I wanted a mare to be mine. Am I growing up or was I just being a stallion? A heethan needing a mare to feed my hunger deep down? I sure didn't want to act like that. Oh no, that wasn't me. I wasn't born for love or to be around company. I had even pushed away my mother when she had wanted to nuture. All I had wanted was to be independent. Prove I could live on my own without someone to be there and help me along.

Well right now, I needed someone. I trotted along with a happy aura surrounding me. With my feathery hooves stepping along, guiding me to the land where single mares stood. I was not an Alpha nor did I have a mare. Just a single stallion looking for a single mare. If I screwed up at any time my life would go down the drain. Just along the horizon, I could see all the lonely mares waiting. I stopped for a moment, letting my muscles relax and sweat sink in. For hours I had been traveling to get to this place. Serenity Stream as others called it.

There, I spotted a mare. Her shining tri-colored coat was different amongst the others. A patch of skin quivered, my heart beat raced. Would I have enough courage to go up to her and talk? Or was I going to play chicken and run away? My old self seemed to be holding surely and now I couldn't move. Everything seemed to tighten and my throat closed. Green eyes held her picture as she did her own thing. I saw her face, it looked lost in thought. I couldn't help but smile softly and take a few steps closer.

I stopped again, what was wrong with me now? Shaking my head, I thought for a moment. I felt like a colt again, nervous to approach or do anything daring. Yeah, I never did daring things or get in trouble when I was younger. Just stayed by myself and do my own thing. Now was my only chance with this beauty that stood only a few feet away. Gathering up my wits, I trotted over to her and stopped like I had done many times before. Could I talk? My mouth opened and yes, words spilled out.

"Hello Miss." I paused for a second, taking in her closer features; her flaws. "I uh... am Fate." No, I didn't stutter, but I felt unsure about my name. And I sure wasn't trying to be charming by saying I am fate. I didn't know what to say next, awkward you could say is how I felt. "I would love to know your name." Oh god, that sounded terribly cheesy. Glancing away, I didn't know how she would respond or if I could look at her.</sub>

<sub>I glanced back at her as she spoke. Her voice was so enticing to me. "Ah what a lovely day to meet such a gorgeous mare." I did not show how shocked I was inside. Where that had come from I didn't know. "It surprises me to see that you'd be here alone." A small smile crept along my jaw. Guess I can be braver then what I expected. Being alone all these years with little words being spoken to pretty mares. The brave stallion was speaking up and I was kissing his hooves for being here right now.

My ears flickered back for a moment. Was I being a little too confident? She did seem a little picky. Did I want a picky mare? Would she just turn me away like a ragdoll? Did I want to be used? Her name did give away a little too much. Overreacting was what I was doing, fretting over the future. I sighed, trying to relax. Letting my head raise a little higher, my green eyes rolled over her docile body. Tail flicking back and forth, I was ready to talk and be what she wanted. I wasn't going to pass the chance up.</sub>

_{I chuckled. I didn't mind her sarcastic tone though she did partially speak the truth. "Whisking away is harder then you think." I said, still smiling like I had before. "And if I were to whisk a lonely miss away, it would to be with only her and me." My voice was soft and truly spoken. I sure didn't like mares fighting for attention, always caused more trouble then you thought. "My attention would be all on that miss." I mentioned after a moment of thought. Looking at her with shining eyes, I couldn't help but think that she was my lonely miss. The one that I wanted to whisk away. But at the moment, I was having a hard time whisking her away. Yet, did I want to right away?}

ooc; It's fine. As long as it keeps going, I don't mind. :)

bic;

_{"Myself? Humm." I pondered for a moment, thinking of what to reveal. I glanced away from her for a moment to think. The bright sun made my eyes squint. "Well, most of my life I've been an independent stallion. Never staying close to other horses unless I needed safety." My voice stopped there, there was nothing else to say. That was my life summed up in a whole. I never did stay with other horses, I always thought company was bad for me and I needed to be by myself to survive. "Up until now, I've spent a little time within a herd at the Avalon Plains. I'm the only stallion in the herd except for one other stallion. The Alphaess there has her own two colts and the other mare, I think she's going to die soon. So it got a little lonely there." Ok, so I didn't really need to tell her that, but it was something about me. It was the only time that I had spent life in a herd except for when I was first born. I finally glanced back at Raven with a half smile.}

_{Gosh darn. Say the wrong thing why don't you? My mind scolded and I frowned. "Yeah, a loner." I glanced away, hurt. I had never wanted to call myself a loner before. It was a word that I thought was rude and didn't exactly say who I was. I had always thought myself as independent not a loner. Loners didn't want to be around other horses or couldn't find a home. I needed to be alone, I had tried before to be with others and it never worked out. Looking back, I noticed her strange look and knew things had turned the wrong way. "Sorry about the extra info." I muttered as my ears flattened a tiny bit. "So what about you? You don't seem like the kind of mare to have a boring background." I asked with little interest in my voice, simply just making conversation. Just wanting to know about her.}

_{I looked at her, a bit surprised. Normal? Hah, I could barely call that normal. I barely called anything normal. "I can easily agree with you, though I've never been mare hungry in my life before. Until now I guess." My shoulders rose in a shrug. I could see that our future, if there was going to be one, was going to need work. We were both very different horses, not telling the gender difference. Hah, wasn't I ready to deal with a mare. "Harems, I can't say I've never been in a herd where there was one." I shrugged again, I didn't know exactly what to say.}

_{"I'm sorry that you haven't had that much luck anywhere." I said, knowing that wasn't what she wanted to hear. I glanced away from her with a blank face. Snorting, I scraped my hoof against the ground. "You don't find any interest in me, do you?" I said trying not to make her feel bad or anything. "Really, if you don't want to be around me, then leave. I won't mind really." I glanced at her once before I shrugged again. I didn't want to be rude, but she looked like she just wanted to get away from me. Yes, it was opposite of what I was hoping, but not everything goes perfect.}

_{I was shocked. How could she be so correct? Did I show myself that easily? My past, my personality, my emotions? My mouth opened, but nothing came out. Well, I wasn't surprised about her not interested in me. I wasn't interesting. I understood that much and me being sheltered, that wasn't really hard to guess. "Yeah, you're right. I am sheltered and it pretty damn well sucks." I said, angered with myself and how much of a loser I seemed. My green eyes turned away from her, not really wanting to say anything else. I hated it when others were right.}

_{"Funny. There's no one there to 'get with'. Unless I'm gay." I said sarcastically with a sarcastic laugh. I was in a sour mood, but that didn't matter at the moment. Looking at her from the corner of my eye, I couldn't notice that she was unusually pretty. But yet, she saw no interest in me so I should even care. Sighing, my head lowered just a tiny bit. With my hopes swiped away by her, I didn't know why I was still standing here. Maybe I didn't want to give up.}

((GAH! Short >.<))

_{"A very emotionless Alphaess." I muttered under my breathe. I rolled my eyes and thought I should leave her to her own life now. "Well I guess I should be off now." I raised my head as ears flattened. "Off to go whisk myself home." A smile teetered on my lips as I turned away from Raven. I took a few steps and then stopped. Turning my head to look at Raven, I walked back over to her. Nudging her on the cheek, I turned away once more. "It really was nice to meet you Raven. Never believed that I could be turned down by a pretty mare." I started walking away with my head high. Before a thought ran through my mind. Maybe I was just too ugly for her too, I frowned at the thought. "Ugly. Maybe I will just go gay." I muttered to myself before I started walking farther away. Making sure I didn't go too fast, I wasn't really looking forward to returning.}
