Large hooves sunk in the sand, powerful muscles in his legs carrying the stallion swiftly over the beach's shores. It had been yet another year since the brute had set hoof upon the sands of Riduna, an older land which he had once lead. A terrible disaster seperated the herd, and by the looks of it, the beautiful land remained untouched after he left. Auds pinned against his crown, buried in thick spiraling strands of flaxen. His blonde tresses were quite odd compared to his bright red chestnut coat, reminding some of the colors of fire. A bold white blaze ran down his muzzle, long forelock hiding dark brown eyes. Faded cream muzzle tucked close to his broad chest, Echelon was quite the attractive stallion, in his prime at age of eight years.
Tossing his crown several times, a deep call emerging from his kissers in claimance of the land. Now to merely wait, in hopes of finding someone wanting acceptance into the herd....

I moved slowly over the land. It had been a day or two (if that's alright) since we first met for the third time. I had slept for quite some time and had eaten enough for an elephant. It had felt good though since I was back to my usual self. Still my muscles were a little faded still, but in another few days they would be back in shape. It was about time too.
Looking up I see my little demon waiting for equines to show up. I chuckle, but also reminded of the ghosts that haunt this island. Images of Hurricane still cross my eyes as I pass the cluster of trees from which I was forcebred. I snorted in retaliation towards the trees before uppoing my trot into a canter and raising my tail as if to mock them. My gaze unwelcoming to the trees. I do believe in superstitions and those are an omen... A bad omen that they survived....
Once I was passed the trees I called out Echy and slowed down to a relaxing walk. My tail lowered, but hung about half an inch upwards still. I'd be glad when my season ended with fall coming, even if we were in the tropics. I came towards the fiery brute's side, shoving him in the process. Looking at him, I smirked. "So where is this supposed stallion that you told me of?" I asked impatiently.

"For all I know he's playing in the water, he's only a couple months off the stallion age. Name's Posiedon, and apparently had a thing for the water." I chuckle, shoving her back as well. I looked back to where she came from, seeing the trees she gave a dirty look too."What happened to the colt?" I ask, looking back down to her. If she didn't feel like answering she didn't have to, but I had a feeling she would be staying clear of those trees for a while. As I mention the foal, flashbacks of her coming back stressed and soaked from fleeing to the ocean came to my memory. Even random thoughts of my Queen someday giving me an heir, nares flaring as, of course being a stallion, I let her scent fill my nostrils.

I nodded as he told of the stallion. Already I was thinking he'd be a little off. No one can like the water that much, be named after water, and not be a tad insane. My ears flicked back as he spoke of Amity. The brown paint colt I had given birth to a year ago. I knew he wasn't right after he nearly drowned his first time in water. And still by how he lacked the ability to talk properly. My face went solemn but Echelon had a right to know...
"Amity is gone," I said. "After the herd broke up we tried to go back to the mainlands with my brother. A storm came before we could cross. Amity was seperated and my brother went after him..." Images flashed over my eyes. Thunder crackled through the sky and the waves pounded against my body. From my side was ripped Amity and my brother diving after him. The current pulled me away. Slowly my brother reached Amity, but not before they both vanished beneath the waves in the troph. The undertow had gotten to them. Then a great wall of water came crashing down to esnure their fate....
I let out a deep breath as I looked back to him. Both were dead by now, or far from here. Still it stings me that Echy calls him a colt instead of Amity and my ears flick back again."Amity and my brother vanished in the waves. I haven't seen Amity since...." I said more with my head falling. "My brother turned up a few weeks later, or part of him...." I didn't need to go into details about the corpse. I lifted my head and looked out to the sea as I let out a deep breath.
"I still have hopes he may have made it...." I added. I looked towards him, trying to think of what else to say, but nothing comes to me. As the wind rustles the trees and such I turn my head to look back. Every rustle still puts me on edge. It still scares me because I'm such a heavy sleeper, but it's day time at least. "So what of you in the past year?" I asked innocently.

I lower my muzzle as she speaks of her brother and her son, flicking my tail softly against her to try and comfort her. I felt a bit guilty for always calling her brother 'the crippled one', and never really liking her son too much. I remember Amity following me when Calla found an abandoned filly, but as it was Hurricane's colt I didn't want to deal with him. Yet I put up with him for Calla's sake, I don't know how, but somehow she managed to love that foal. At least I wasn't like many stallions, who would kill the colt only a few days after his birth. It was amazing he lived with how his sire was. "I finally figured out what was wrong with Hurricane, he had rabies. And chances were it was passed down to Amity, your lucky it wasn't passed directly to you." I knew they weren't the words she exactly wanted to know, but at least she needed to know why Hurricane acted and smelled sickly.
I shrug my shoulders, having quite a boring year. "Nothing much, about as much excitement as when I was stuck on that blasted island with a rip current."
((I saw I video of a wild stally killing a foal that wouldn't get up, wasn't his own foal, it was from a rival harem.))

I nodded as he spoke of Hurricane. Hopefully that damn bastard was dead and in hell now. I just look out to see and watch the ivory waves come crashing to the moon hue beach. The soft oceanic breeze felt good though as I put Amity and my brother to the back of my mind. I can't rewrite the past and I can't dwell on either of them. No, especially Amity. I know what stallions do to mares that have another's foal. I'm just lucky Echelon had put up with him, and especially me.
He's been good to me, and I feel sorry for him being bored. I know being bored sucks. Still a smirk comes to my lips as I eye him. "So that's why you claimed me," I said jokingly. "Afraid that some young stallion named Poseidon was going to sweep me off my feet and cart me away to his harem..." I chuckled a little afterwards, but I have a feeling he won't find it funny.
I let out a deep breath and start to walk along the shore for the sake of moving. I looked back to Echy to see if he'll come or stay waiting for the colt to show.

I cantered along with my daggers in the shallows of the sea, my favorite place to be. It was so cooling for my legs, and it cooled my bod when it splashed up against my barrel. Tiny fish scattered in my path with each step. My hoofprints filled with water and were erased when exposed to the blue-green sea. I looked ahead with sea-hued oculars to see Echelon...and a new mare. They were talking. I hoped that they wouldn't shun me, since I was young enough to be their son.
I quickened my pace to a slow gallop and went up on to drier land, so I wouldn't splash as much. My three-year-old body's pillars worked to propel my bod across the golden sand until I was a few lengths from the two. I slowed to an extended trot and came up to them, stopping a few feet from their bodies. I bowed my head to the two.
"Lord Echelon," I said, addressing the Alpha respectively. I turned to the mare. "I am Poseidon, ma'am, as Echelon may have already told you. I would be pleased to know your name." I said these words in a kind tone, and worded them so as not to offend her.

"Your damn right Calla, I did't want any stallion to take you away from me now." Echelon snorted, but gave her a smirk after he finished his sentence. I was about to follow her before Poseidon showed up, asking for Calla's dubbance. Instead of introducing her myself, I figured she'd be much more please to introduce herself. Protectively I take a step or two closer to her, an easy way to let Poseidon know without words that he was not to touch her.
Scrimpy - July 23, 2007 03:56 AM (GMT)
-THEN-
I stopped and turned around to face the colt. I watched as Echelon came stepping towards me protectively. I rolled my eyes, but didn't say anything about. Instead I cleared my throat and raised my head. I have a bit of an ego and still a bit more gruff with males ever since Hurricane came, took, and left his impression and legacy. I must give some points to Echy for letting him introduce myself.
Lifting my head I put on my regal face. Being Queen might have gone to my head, or it might be I'm being protective. I even put my tail all the way down and make a counsious effort to make sure it stays down for the time I'm around the colt-ish stallion. "Hello," I said, one of the few who uses the proper word of 'hello.' "I am Lady Calla Lilly, or more commonly knowned as Calla or Lilly. Take your pick, Posy." Already I had given him a nickname. I always seem to give equids nicknames.
I glance to Echelon and move towards him and pound my one hoof against the sand impatiently. I think I've become more insecure since I started to press my barrel towards him. So maybe I wasn't fully back to being my sassy, confident self yet. Instead I bobbed my head and remained stiff like a statue.
-NOW-
That was a year ago. Now it's been a year and everything has been swell. I'm in my full season now. It seems to have last longer since I'm in better condition. Moving along the shore I just recall that day. Snorting I pay at the sand boredly. Where is Echy? I hadn't seen him all day and it was beginning to worry me. I've been sticking close to him since we were reunited. It feels good, but I feel as if there is nothing for me to do right now. Looking up, I begin to walk along the beach again. Open to anyone willing to have a chat.

As I cantered along the sand, a satisfied smile was on my muzzle. I had decided to search the island for any other signs of life, mostly that rodeo horse that haunted my dear Calla. The rabies must have overcome Hurricane's body, for there was no sign of life throughout the island. It seemed the stallion, Poseidon, had also moved on, and for now it was just me and Calla. Speaking of my Queen, I could see the vixen up ahead, tail raised while she seemed quite bored. I breathed in deeply as the wind carried her scent to me, oh so sweet...Again my stallion thoughts led to fantasies of an heir, and of course the making of an heir. Shaking my head, I tried to shake the thoughts from my mind, not wanting to end up like Hurricane. I nicker out to her, letting her know I had returned from dissappearing. Coming up to my Queen, I nuzzle her flank, continuing the nuzzle until I reached her nape. "Good news, absolutely no sign of Hurricane. And from what I can tell, I believe Poseidon has left as well. Just you and me with a whole paradise island..."
Scrimpy - July 24, 2007 03:51 AM (GMT)
I smiled as Echy came. It was true, we were the only equines on the island. Oh well, I liked it that way. Sighing, a good sigh, I nodded. No more Hurricane troubles at least. It's been a good year though and only seems to be getting better. I looked out onto the sea. Maybe it was time to start our own family. Or maybe I shouldn't. I'd rather have Echy bring that topic up since I'm a bit finicky about it still. Snorting, I bring myself back to relality. Still I smiled as I looked at Echelon. "That's good. One last thing to worry about. No more predators to worry about at last. And some how when you said 'you and me with a whole paradise island..' makes me wonder if that's a good thing or not." I said with a chuckle.
sassaboo - July 24, 2007 04:13 AM (GMT)
"Well I hope it's a good thing, otherwise we'll be clawing each other's eyes out." I smirk, flicking my tail boredly. "Though it will get pretty dull if it remains just us two, lonely also. There is a possibility to cure that...But..." I wasn't sure how to ask her, I didn't want to offend her or cause her to be afraid of me because of Hurricane. "Well, I was wondering if you'd be interested in having a foal? Our foal?" I wait for her answer patiently, she had a couple days to decide if she wanted a foal this year, otherwise they'd have to wait till next year...
Scrimpy - July 24, 2007 08:01 PM (GMT)
My face went pale as he brought up the foal subject. It's been almost two years since Amity, but it still affects me. I closed my eyes, and looked a bit away. It even pains me still with Amity. It'd be different though with Echy, wouldn't it? I mean, he's different than Hurricane by far, but still.... Amity... I owe it to Echy though. He put up with Amity and me. I let out a sigh and looked back to him, putting on a happy face for him. I would do it Echy. For him only though. No one else. Not even for our future heir... "If that's what you want, then yes," I said, flicking my tail around nervously.
sassaboo - July 24, 2007 08:12 PM (GMT)
I frowned, sensing her nervousness and almost fear of me now that I was asking about a foal. If I wanted it? Shaking my crown, I reached my muzzle to her own to try and calm her. "No, I don't want you to feel that you have to if you don't want too. After all, it's you whose gotta carry and mother the foal. /Only/ if you want another foal." I sighed, figuring that she'd act like this, even with me. I can't imagine the things mothers must go through, much less than when they are forced to go through with them. It almost sickened me that she was saying yes because that was what I wanted, made me feel more like Hurricane than ever, like she didn't have a choice.
Scrimpy - July 24, 2007 08:27 PM (GMT)
I shook my head. I would go through it. I can't dwell forever on Amity, but I do owe it to Echy. He deserves an heir. And it's not like I have anything else to do, but carry a foal. And everything was slooking up for once. No more Hurricane and the weather was perfect as the moment. I swallowed and just away, heading to the maindlands of Hopeless Hearts. I wouldn't argue with Echy. Either he came, or some other stallion would get me. Stopping I looked back to him with a solemn face before continueing my walk to the mainlands. My hooves started to splash in the water before I was forced to swim. My mind just on Echy and going through the same thing again. Different, but still carrying a foal....
sassaboo - July 24, 2007 08:35 PM (GMT)
I shook my head reluctantly, sometimes Calla's stubborness just dumbfounded me. Seemed like she was intent on going to the breeding grounds whether I followed or not, but I knew other stallions awaited there. One's like Hurricane and worse, that didn't give a crap if a mare was taken or not. With a sigh, I follow after her. I wasn't really planning on breeding with her now, I just wanted to make sure she would be safe from the stallions there. Hopefully she wouldn't be there too long before I got there, but she was a bit far ahead from me...
Scrimpy - July 25, 2007 02:55 AM (GMT)
I had returned home not too long ago and my belly swollen beyond belief. I was never this big, even with Amity. Still my mind dwells on whose child I'm carrying. I've even distance myself from Echelon because of it. Looking down at the pond, hidden on the inner part of the island had given me time to think about whether I should tell Echelon or not. Sighing, I looked back before moving into the water. Why me? Why twice? Tossing my head, I rinsed my body and cleaned myself. Only if Echy brought up the topic, I might. It's not like he could do anything about it now. Still in my reflection I know I've got twins. I can feel it. When on kicks another kicks and then they have a fight. It hurts, alot. Closing my eyes, I try to shoove it out of the way. Instead I looked to the water, thinking of what my brother would do.
sassaboo - July 25, 2007 03:14 AM (GMT)
Along with Calla Lilly, I had returned to the island to find no one came to over rule me in my absence. But Calla was avoiding me, and in the back of my mind I knew that she lied to me at the breeding grounds. That rogue stallion I smelled had gotten to her, and for all I knew, I was too late to have a foal from her. When I did see her, it worried me about how big she had gotten. Something wasn't right, either she was having one heck of a foal or it would be twins. While she seperated herself from me, I stayed on the beach like I was now. Laying in the warm sand, watching and waiting for anything to happen...But nothing ever did.
Scrimpy - July 25, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
I snorted as I just started my way off from the pond and onto the island sand. It wasn't hurting or anything, but I knew it was coming soon. I wouldn't be caught off guard like I had the first time. Secondly, it would take a couple of hourse to reach the grounds in my condition. Emerging from the vegetation, I glanced at Echelon before turning my head away and started walking towards the mainland while the tide was still low. Hopefully with high tide coming in would help push me onto the main lands. My hooves met the frigid water as I started to wade and swim through the soft waves. It was a calm day at least, but already I was looking for little sand bars for my new children to use when we came if. If we came back I mean.....
sassaboo - July 26, 2007 12:07 AM (GMT)
I tilted my head as Calla decided to take a swim, a little puzzled until it dawned on me. You idiot! I thought to myself, unsure if she wanted me to follow or not. Well, I didn't care. I was going to follow whether she wanted me to or not. Trotting up to the water, I splashed in after her. I was a bit excited, wondering how the foal or foals would turn out.
Scrimpy - August 9, 2007 07:14 PM (GMT)
I returned home to the beach known as Riduna with our new son. My legs reached the beach. I kept looking back for our son since I did not want to lose him like I had Amity in the storm. And that only brought worse news. Winter was here and storms would be brewing. Not as strong as summer or spring, but still strong. My nervousness probably showed through. Sighing, I looked around, trying to figure out where Echelon and our son Hellfire was..... Then from the see I could see Hellfire coming through the sea.
God I had this wet stuff. It sucks and makes me cold! I liked it better in Mum's tummy. It was nice and warm there. Oh so warm and cozy, even if I was folded up into a little ball. I snorted, popping onto the beach on my stomach. Lifting myself up, I scurried over to Mum, wondering where that strang stallion was. He looked funny, but my business with him was not over yet. I still needed to show him who was boss around here.

Needless to say the cold ocean water worried me with our son, the water was colder than usual due to winter and even though our son was strong, he could be swept away like I had a couple years ago by a rip current. So I swam behind him, Hellfire swimming in the middle behind Calla. Climbing onto the shores of Riduna, I shook off quite a bit of salt water. Approaching my family, I smirked at Hellfire. Looks like he still had plenty of fight in him. Teasingly I ruffled his mane, messing up his little moehawk.

I shivver slightly as my golden paint bode emerges from the water. Dark brown locks were slick - sticking to my slender boa, which had started to make me irate. Soft blue eyes scanned the sanded beach briefly before finding Echelon with his mate, I assumed, and son. Seeing the happiness that emitted off the trio, I held back. I knew my manners, especially not to interrupt someone, so I hung back, as my soft blue occuli took in my surroundings that was to be my new home.

I watched as Echy went over to our son and ruffled his mane. Of course Hellfire responded with his usually snort and pawing of the sand. He was like me, a fighter, but hopefully he wouldn't inherite his father's rogue-ness. I want my child to be perfect and untoucheed by human hands. I don't want him to even see them or anything that could be associated with them. He needs to be wild. I can see greatly he had my build to be a great jumper, but I shall not teach him such things. You are labeled then, even I am still. My grace is not natural but made by humans.
Shacking my head, I turn towards a new member. A female.... Snorting, I can see there is something odd about her like me. Lifting my head up, I watch her from the corner of my eye and move towards my son protectively. I did not like the way she held back and my ears told of it also. Nervously I glanced to Echy and snorted once again while swishing my tassels around.
Oh great, spring. I'm back in heat, which puts my son in greater risk. I still can't push my tail down 'cause of the damn instincts. Looking to Hellfire, I usher him closer to me before he causes any problems, that he hasn't already down. Who is she? I asked.

Looking back over my shoulder, I could see Haeva had made it to the island after all. She never really said if she was going to come or not, so I guess she decided to come. At Calla's words, I smirked at her sudden protectiveness to Hellfire and dislike to the newcomer. "It's alright, her name's Haeva. I went to the mainlands to find some more herdmembers, and I guess she decided to come."
It hadn't taken me long to notice my queen back in heat, but I said nothing about it, just made a mental note to stick close to her whether or not there were stallions on this island or not. Hellfire, too, would be kept under a watchful eye. I knew firsthand stallions would kill a foal that's not their own, and for a few seconds, a pang of guilt struck me as I remembered the filly of that damned Grove wanderer.

State the obvious,
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy,
That's fine
I'll tell mine
You're gay,
And by the way,
I hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned,
You're just another picture to burn.
Oh yeah. That was the story of my whole three years of life. Well, make that onne. Fell in love with this handsome colt, ran off with him, broke up. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, girl hates boy. Fun fun, might I say?
There's no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's going to show you how sorry you'll be
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned,
You're just another picture to burn.
Of course, I hadn't cared at all. A couple months in I started thinking that he was a little, you know, woo-hoo. Crazy. Weird. Half-rabid, if you will. I was starting to not like him, but happily, he ended it before I told him. And boy was he surprised when I just smiled sweetly and trotted off! Probably expecting me to start bawling or something. Sorry dude, not likely.
And if you're missing me
You better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard,
I really, really hate that stupid old pickup truck,
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned,
You're just another picture to burn.
Burn, burn, burn, baby burn.
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn
I trotted down the sandy beach, the hot spring sun glinting on my black hide. I made me kind of hot, heat-wise, but it did feel good, seeing as I'd just been in a freakin' cold mountain range. But oh well. It did make me look good, though, my hair gleaming from sweat and the sunlight. My tassels swirled in the cool ocean breeze, fragrant with that salty smell that the sea has. As I trotted down the sandy beach, I sometimes flung my front pillar out in front of me, kicking the sand the way you kick a pebble when you're cranky or sad. My auds were pinned against my crest, obsidian whipcord pinned tightly against my rump. I was not happy. I didn't know why. Maybe hormones, even though I was only three. Maybe just being weird. Who knows. I smirked as a crab went up in the spray of my kick, looking as surprised as a crab can. I was pissed, but I realized one thing.
Being pissed can be fun.
I stopped and glared against the sun, royal blue occuli observing the four farther down. Echelon, and what looked like his queen and son. And another mare, like me. Not a mare hoarder, eh? This spoke otherwise. I started up again, heading down the beach, trying to be nice against my P.O.'d-ness.
"Hello," I said, coming closer. I looked to the queen, trying to tell her that I was no threat. "I'm Deleila. I take it that you're Lord Echelon's queen." I nodded to the other mare, trying to be nice.
