It is not natural for me to go into a light land. I felt sick as I let my body wander through the tall grass. With the sun bright over my head, it's rays warmed my golden hued pelt. Though for the moment, I would just act nice to her. Yes, I had planned a head of time. Living amongst the shadows, I listened well and learned perfectly. I knew who was in who's herd and who led what herd. Lady Spirit Dancer was the perfect match for me and I knew I would have no trouble taking her. Learning that a rather good member of her herd had died recently and little lived here, it would be easy. So easy, my lips seemed to drool with just the thought of having her in my grasp.

Golden brown eyes gazed upon the heavenly skies. Letting my white blond feathered hooves stop, the grass barely grazed my thighs. Blond tail ran back and forth as I shook my head. Letting my ears fall back, my voice spoke out. It wasn't particularly a light horse call, considering my deep tones and rather hellish tone. I listened as it echoed, palomino coat feeling warmer then before. Snorting, I stomped a hoof. I would steal Spirit Dancer and leave to the dark lands. Where, I wasn't exactly sure yet, but I knew no light land was for me. Maybe, I would take her to reside with me in an unclaimed land, I just wasn't sure. My first step was steal Spirit and that had yet to be accomplished.

It'd been a little over a year since the birth of my twin sons, and almost two years since my arrival to Royalty. Between then and now, I'd become a Queen and a mother of two at a young age. I was probably doomed from the start, anyways.

Copper splashes stand out vibrantly against the white of my body and the green grass, as pale gold and fiery auburn curls flicker in the Spring breeze. Soon the grass would die when Summer came, and we'd have to struggle through Autumn and Winter. But what land didn't? Fierce blue eyes survey the flat sections of Avalon quietly from a higher hill, with Koalvolt, my heir, on another hill a greater distance away. I had my doubts to where Tyhraone was, but I knew he wouldn't leave. He was probably waiting to pounce on his twin brother, or with the new members of Avalon.

My tassels snap as I flick them in brief frustration. Those brief moments were common as of late, because I had yet to gather more members outside of my lineage. It was only Fate, Luke, Cassandra and her sons, my sons and myself, and I was growing to be increasingly impatient with the outside world. Had Avalon gone unnoticed? While other lands flourish and foals are brought into the world, Avalon was silently withering. It made me think I'd brought my doomed fate with me whenever I'd left my homeland over two years ago.

Until copper audda flicker forward, as fierce blue hues catch something within the distance. Movement, which disturbs me to a degree. Ignoring the nagging thought of calling for Koavolt, I take a lofty trot down the hill towards the movement - only to find the golden stallion. I stop several paces away, copper audda flicker back briefly as I surveyed the brute. He was bigger than I, like most of my other members, and could do a great deal of damage.

"Welcome to the Plains. I'm Spirit Dancer, Queen of Avalon. What brings you here?" I ask, the command in my question couldn't be ignored. I was half-glad that I couldn't detect the quivering in my voice anymore - something I'd worked on since the arrival of several herd members.

I watched her approach me. Her splotched frame coming closer and closer. This was going to be a piece of cake. A smile latched onto my lips as she stopped a few steps away. How beautiful she was, so tempting to just take her now, but no, it took more then that. Clearing my throat, I nodded my head in respect to her. My brown eyes glittering with a hunger that wasn't exactly easy to figure out. The muscles lining my body tensed as I so wanted to just grab her now, it would be so easy. . .

"Hello Spirit Dancer." My deep, masculine voice spoke clearly. I could tell she had spoken with command, but I could tell her voice quivered the slightest bit. Oh so easy. I kept thinking, holding myself back. Golden pelt making me seem lighter then what my actual alliance was. Lowering my head an inch or so, I did not want to appear too dominant toward her. The white blond tendrils of mane that spilled down my back lashed into my face, a breeze brushing back. Shaking the hairs from my face, I let my eyes settle upon her face.

"What brings me here exactly is you." A fore hoof of mine took a step closer to the petite mare. She was only about a hand or so shorter then, making me seem taller. The smile that latched onto my lips hinted a bit of evil and cruelty. Another step going closer to the Queen. I knew no other stallion would be here to save her and I was too strong for her to exactly escape if I got a hold of her. Though, if she ran I would simply run after her. When I wanted something, I got it.

Fierce pools flashed dangerously, as copper audials pinned themselves back into my pale gold and fiery auburn curls. His smile didn't match his expression, and then the hunger evident in his brown hues was unsettling. I'd seen the same hunger in Wolfe, and in the eyes of Koalvolt's father before he commited the terrible deed that'd blessed me with my twin sons. My own lean body tensed up, as he did, though it was more for the possibility that if things came too chaotic I could easily spring away.

Peach colored hooves shuffled one or two steps backwards, as fiery auburn and pale gold tassels flicked behind me in anxiety. A brief glance was sent into Koalvolt's general direction; but I knew my son wouldn't hear me if I called out for him. Silently cursing my stupidity, my attention grudgingly returned to the golden stallion before me. Wiry limbs scuffled as I listened, ashened muzzle tucking in as he lowered his head, before I raised my own in silent defiance, before my dished tiara jerked away so I watched him from a sideways glance as he gave his reasoning.

"You are joking."
My reply was blunt, yet the accusation bit icily as my tiara turned so that I could see him clearly, before shuffling backwards a few more steps as he inched forward. The smile he bore told me otherwise, but I refused to believe it. Copper audials remained glued to my dished tiara, further disappearing into my bi-colored tresses, before I spat out, "I don't take kindly to comics or crude jokes."

Mystery - February 25, 2008 01:36 AM (GMT)
"Do you think I'm playing a joke?" I snapped back at her. Why did mares have to be so suspicious. I watched her every move, the jerky movements and dangerous looks. To me it was attractive and didn't affect me that she was accusing me. My eyes glanced over to the foal that played far off. So, she did have foals. No doubt forced from her. The smile upon my face seemed to fade away just a tiny bit. Getting Spirit Dancer to follow was going to be harder then I expected it to be. Snorting, my eyes got serious as ideas ran through my brain. Taking a hesitant step toward her, the closer I was, the harder it would be for her to turn away.

My own palomino colored ears folded back. I had slightly taken her words for offence. "I don't play jokes, Miss." My deep voice curled with anger. Did she really think that I was playing a joke. My eyes did not speak of hunger anymore, but the need for success in my plan. Shaking my dome lightly, I did not let my eyes rest away from the copper hued mare standing before me. Flaxen locks of tail lashed at my legs as muscles loosened just a tiny bit. I was beginning to realize that it was going to be a bit before I got close to leaving the plains. Knowing what I had learned from talk of others, this Alphaess was too keen on trusting anyone but herself.

One side of my ashened lips twists into a silent snarl as he snapped back to my response. I'd be damned if someone were to say I was "completely" Light; I had some Dark qualities that could easily qualify me as Neutral or a Swinger. But I did very well to hide them - I buried such reactions as the ones I was showing the golden stallion from others' views. I didn't need anyone knowing too much of my personality. Call it insecurity, or being fickle, but it took alot to get reasonably close to me. So consider yourself lucky if you ever got close enough to be considered a friend.

Fierce pools watch him glance over towards Koalvolt's distant form, furthering the silent snarl into my facade despite the fact the smile on his face faded slightly. Sinewous cords were taunt as he moved forward; though I refrained from backpedalling any more than I already had. If I backed away anymore, it'd show my weakness for having anyone close. I wasn't going to leave a vunerability out in the open like I had previously.

"You don't? Good," I reply acidly, fiery auburn and pale gold tassels flicked from side to side brutually, showing my anxiety. "Though it would be a delight to know your name, since I seem to be your reason of being here," I added, trying deperately to prolong the conversation as much as I could. Maybe Luke or Koalvolt would notice my delayed absence from the herd, and come for me. Though I had my doubts to that..

-FIN-

The snarl on her lips did not make me any more happier or angrier. Yet, not many lights I knew or had seen knew how to snarl. Was pretty Spirit Dancer nothing but a cover up light? A smile cracked across my lips as the quiet voice in my head continued to whisper things to me. The way she did not move away from me changed my mind even further. She wasn't the light I assumed she was. Of course, I assumed a lot of things and usually they were never wrong. The way she stood her ground made me want more and think more that she was different then what I had learned. Next time, I will get more information about the mare. I light shook my head, brown eyes calm.

I could just see the anxiety through her small movements. Just like how she could tell the desire I wanted, it was clearly obvious. "Name?" I chuckled quietly, rarely did anyone know what my name was. Tossing my head a little, did I really want to reveal something personal? To me, my name was very personal and no one deserved to know except my parents and the one I loved. At the moment, the one I loved was laying at the bottom of a river; decaying. I hadn't loved in years and I wasn't about to love now. "I believe my name to be personal, but since you are Queen, I guess you deserve to know," it was true, but usually no one deserved, not even high royalty. "My blessing is Dark Prince." It had been so long since I had said those two words. It felt strange to have it roll across my tongue and become words, my name.

Spirit Dancer - February 29, 2008 01:47 AM (GMT)
The calm expression that was within his brown hues did nothing to deter my anxiety. If anything, it made me more so; anyone who's emotions or personality could change so quickly was a threat to me. I never trusted others who acted like so, because of Wolfe had been like such towards me. Though the defiance I was treating the golden stallion before me was the same as I'd treated Wolfe - it was almost like I was covering up my anxiety, my weakness, by looking up at him with a mocking light in my fierce pools that gave them a dancing 'I dare you to' look.

Pinned copper audials twitched, barely, underneath their hideaway in my mass of wild pale gold and fiery auburn curls of a mane. I half expected that he'd treat me request with more trouble, trying to avoid giving me his name. But he didn't; which offset me greatly, though it didn't faze my gaze.

"Then I thank you, Dark Prince," I replied coolly, trying my best to be civil by curbing my tempered tongue from the language I wanted to use, that was inappropriate for most under the age of three. "I know, and realize, how you must feel giving away such precious information - though it does ease me, a little."

Mystery - March 1, 2008 09:18 PM (GMT)
Did I just so happen to see a 'I dare you' look? Those fierce eyes of hers that I looked into pumped up my want. Watching all her movements, I was going to make sure that I did this correctly. I would be damned if I did not leave with Spirit Dancer as my hostage. Heh, this was no claiming grounds, so why was I being so nice? Was it because I didn't want trouble or was this a genuine liking for a mare like her? Snorting, I shook the thoughts from my mind and concentrated on getting her to leave with me.

"Just a little?" I questioned calmly, still I did not lead on anything suspicious. Or at least, I did not try to. "That's pleasing to know." I commented shortly afterward. Knowing she wanted to at least cuss a few times at me, I guess I deserved. My mind was still reeling about these things when a thing popped up. If she managed to escape from me, she could tell other stallions about me and have me killed. Since she now knew my name, I was at a great risk. The stakes had just risen and it was getting harder for me to take her. Shifting my weight forward, I barely took half an inch of a step. I didn't want it to seem too obvious that I wanted her.

Spirit Dancer - March 3, 2008 11:22 PM (GMT)
The small movement he made went unnoticed, mostly. I was too busy with being focused on what his intentions were by continuing to speak, even if I was the one trying to drag everything out until someone realized I was missing. However, at this rate, I had the sinking feeling no one would notice. Not even my own sons, which I hated to admit, would notice.

-UNFIN (unless you can work something. xD I have little to no muse for SD)-

Mystery - March 5, 2008 05:11 AM (GMT)
"You have a little bit of a sad look on your face, deary." I spoke softly as she didn't exactly react to me. Looking at her face, I too had a feeling that no one cared about her. Which in my favor, made it all the easier to steal her away. My plan wasn't going as evilly as I though it would, but if I could steal her, it was good enough. Losing most of my emotion, my tail lashed back and forth. "You could always leave, I could take real good care of you." My voice was a deep murmur as eyes flickered away from her and back in seconds. Palomino coat twitching as muscles clenched, all my hopes flying high.

Spirit Dancer - March 5, 2008 11:31 PM (GMT)
"Leave..?"
The murmured echoing of his response was almost inaudible, just a few notes higher than a whisper. My copper audials pivot backwards, disappearing in my mane once more as my fierce pools flickered away from his golden face, to stare into oblivion as I murmured quietly to myself. As if I was berating myself to think I could leave.

But no one would notice if I left, now would they? My existance would fade away from everyone's minds, and Koalvolt would quietly become King without much fuss. But he was so young...How could I do that to him? Yet I could so easily see myself just leaving, without a goodbye, and Avalon doing just fine without me. My fierce gaze flickers back up to the brute's golden face, though my gaze was slightly cloudy.

"..Take care of me?"

Mystery - March 7, 2008 04:25 AM (GMT)
"Did I stutter?" My voice chuckled quietly, but the why she looked shocked wondering me. Had no one ever taken care of her before? Had she always been on her own? Or was this just a way to crack my hard shell and fall for the maiden? Shaking my dome, I concentrated. I was not going to let this break me and start to like her. I was here for a reason and one reason only, to steal her. So far, it was going good except for the part where she looked so pretty dazed and it was just so hard not to melt. . .

"Yes, I'll take care of you." I whispered softly, watching her fierce gaze wander away and come back. Staring straight back at her with an intensity, I stood before her straight on. Tail moving back and forth as I watched for her next movement. "Obviously, you've never been care for." I grew a little closer to her, never letting my deep brown pools move from her face. I was intent to take her away, no matter how I needed to do so.

Spirit Dancer - March 18, 2008 12:58 AM (GMT)
I shook my dished tiara jerkily, as if trying to shaking away demons that were whispering deceiving words into my audials. In reality, I was trying to shake myself from believing these words, however true they may be, and trying to keep myself from crying. He was right, which hurt me. No one had taken care of me, not even a past mate. We weren't even formally announced as being mates before we were separated. Would no one take care of a headstrong mare who was bent on seeing that everything worked out?

No. Stallions were prone to taking care of mares who were nothing but daydreams and refined bloodlines. Nothing more than complete airheads that could assure them a good position in a herd or assure them unresistable foals.

Yet, he tearing down the walls I'd spent years building up to avoid something like this with such ease, it was like a flash flood wiping out a beaver's dam. They stood no chance if he kept talking like this.

"N-No, you didn't," I replied, trying to regain my composure and stifle my stuttering. I had a small feeling that, despite my best efforts, my fierce hues gave away my predicament. But I would not look away from him. I had to be strong. However, whatever strength I could muster upon my facade quailed as he spoke again.
"No, I haven't b-been taken care of. Always vice versa."

Mystery - March 22, 2008 05:14 AM (GMT)
I was taken back a bit by her jerky movements. Inside I knew I was tearing down her walls. It made me feel good about myself, very much. Yes, this wasn't the best of ways to steal a mare from her lands, but I was still getting to her heart and outside of here, would be completely different. I might be fooling her, but who knows what the future holds, I may change. Even though I was tearing down her walls, my own were slowly peeling off. This mare was different, she didn't know what love really was, or that was what I assumed. Pulling my head back a bit, I watched her look so differently then when she had first approached.

Her eyes were attached to mine, as were mine to hers. "Then let me take care of you, away from here," I was so close. Please don't let her deny me, my hazel optics piercing. My thick voice quiet and smooth. Reaching just the tiniest bit closer to her, letting the faintest of touches reach her cheek. Giving her a soft, pleading look, I frowned slightly. "Please come with me dear, I'll be sure to take care of you," I whispered, I was telling the truth for the most part. She'd be mine, I would take care of her, only if she let me do what I pleased. Soon, I would take a herd of my own, one filled with mare stolen from other stallions. She was just the first, the one to be my Queen.


Spirit Dancer - March 26, 2008 01:38 AM (GMT)
Am I wrong for loving Lola?
Am I wrong for what I think?
She is such a wicked child.

Painted lips,
Dirty knees..


[x] The the lyrics are from a song called Lolita by Elefant. I suggest you listen to it. :] [/x]

A guarded expression took hold of my copper and ivory facade. Fierce pools watched his own face carefully, as he pulled his diadem back slightly. Did my factual statement shock him? He wouldn't be the first, unfortunately. Many that had heard such a statement falling from my charred lips shook their heads and murmured something like 'Made a mother too young, wasn't she?'. It wasn't my damn choice to become a mother, I can guarantee you of that!

I internally flinch from his piercing gaze, though my guarded expression slipped slightly. I was loosing my grip, and he wasn't helping by speaking the words I wanted to hear.

"I...I.."
I cursed my lack of a response, yet thought about it at the same time. I could leave, because Koalvolt was a level-headed two year old who could probably lead Avalon without much troubles. I'm pretty sure no one would really object, either. Maybe Luke, but that was it. Fierce pools closed, at his faint touch; it's easy to tell he's won by my posture as it slumps into relaxation.
"I'll...I'll come with you," I reply, my voice unsteady in its whisper, and husky from the mixed emotions.


Lola is on the floor,
She's wanting more, she's wanting more.
Lola is on the floor,
She's wanting more, she's wanting more.

I hear the devil calling,
He's waiting for my move.
I shall allow the beater,
You are my heart and soul.

ooc; Sounds like an awesome song! Oh and where should they go after this?

My body pulsed with joy at my win. The way her body relaxed made me all the happier. Maybe I was a different stallion after this, but I was still the cruel stallion I was deep down. True, she had gotten to a different part of me. Now that I thought about it, I didn't want to hurt her. She was obviously emotionally abused to the point that she was always guarded. Now that I looked at her defeated body, I didn't want to hurt her. I wanted to protect her. Was this the part of me that wanted to care for something? Originally, I was here to forcebreed, to be powerful, and now all I wanted to do was make her feel safe and comforted.

"I'm glad you decided that," I murmur to her. Letting my palomino muzzle touch her neck softly. I didn't know what her reaction would be, but I didn't do it to hurt her. Sighing, I pulled away and let my ears lay flat. Brown hues gazed around the grassy field. My white locks lashed back and forth as I took a step away. Letting out a shiver through my tensed muscles, I took in a deep breathe. Where to go now? I thought, I hadn't exactly thought of a home I could take her to.

Spirit Dancer - April 24, 2008 11:44 PM (GMT)
[x] Uhm, any where's fine with me - as long as I don't have 2+ characters there already. xD [/x]

Mystery - April 24, 2008 11:50 PM (GMT)
ooc; Haha, ok. I'll look for a good spot. Lol

Spirit Dancer - May 6, 2008 02:24 AM (GMT)
[x] Alright-y. =3 [/x]

Mystery - May 6, 2008 02:42 AM (GMT)
ooc;; Hmmm... I'm not sure where to bring them. I can't decide between which land... So hard. Lol. I'm just trying to figure out which one to bring them to where the Alpha wouldn't ask so many questions because I really don't want to claim another land.

Spirit Dancer - May 10, 2008 02:36 AM (GMT)
[x] lmao. That's okay, I'm a pretty patient person. :] [/x]
