*[Let It Be Said]*

Smoke

Beautiful crystal white daggers dug up the ground below him as he pranced into this new uninhabbited tera. surely it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen before and he was on a mission to make it his own. Taintala was now under the rule of Smoke. and it would stay that way forever. he was never going to let any stallion take his land from him. and so he belowed to the world at the top of his lungs...

" I, Smoke, Now King of Taintala, Claim this land as my herdlands, and no one shall ever chalenge me for it, over my dead body will anyone who i dont accept roam these lands."

and with that he let out another cry to let all others know of his claim.. he troted off to explore the rest of his beautiful herdlands...

[LouLou]

Lakota Dreamer trotted softly over the ground that was under her. Her brown hooves dug into the Earth and she smiled at the smell of everything. She heard the challenging neigh of a stallion and froze. The neigh slightly scared her. She threw her head up and pranced bravely to the source. This stallion would not scare her off; she was a brave, proud mare.

"Hello stallion. My calling is Lakota Dreamer. Who would you be, challenging stallion?" she sung out as she looked at him, bravery shining in her eyes.

Smoke

Smoke stood on his newly claimed tera. looking arround. Bright blue occs stared at the scenery around him. white banner floating efforlessly on the wind, he noticed something that was not here before.. but whats this? he thaught to himself.. a vixen? in my lands..

nares flutterd open with her sent flowing in.. then she came troting into sight, a pretty little thing she was, and she was being brave too? well thats in vein, i would never hurt a mare who wishes to join me.

his blue eyes flutterd down her spoted canvas before coming to a rest in her eyes. he stamped one dagger on the sod below him in play before stateing..

Hello my dear, My Calling is Smoke.. and what might your Lovely name be? he stated with a low inviteing voice.. he hoped she would stay and keep him company.

[LouLou]

Lakota relaxed at the sound of the stallion's voice. "My name would be Lakota Dreamer," she sang softly. "Your challenging neigh slightly scared me," she explained as she blushed ever so lightly. Her green eyes focused on his blue ones. "It is a pleasure," she added politely.

Her mother had always taught her a lesson among stallions. Treat them how you'd like to be treated. Treat them with respect and mannerly and he'd treat you the same way.

Unless he was utterly stubborn and didn't give a damn about your well being.

Smoke

His blue eyes sparkled at the sight of her. she was pretty, no one could deny that, but why was she here, how did she get here, oh well those will be for later, she was speaking..

Well My dear Lakota Dreamer, and i must say that is a beautiful name, I am so sorry that my Call scared you so, you see i had to claim my lands so no others would take them from me. its a way of life. i hope you do understand dear Dreamer.

he moved closer to her, circling arround her in a slow gait. comming to rest beside her, he gave her a little nibble on the sholder, in affection..

You see, i could never let anyone take what means the most to me, and if you would like, you are more than welcome to stay here and keep me company, i am very lonely.

he waited on her reply..

[LouLou]

Lakota couldn't mask her surprise as he circled her and nibbled her shoulder. She smiled at the polite stallion. "It is quite okay Smoke. I have been travelling and haven't really been myself lately. Plus I wanted to appear strong," she added with a slight tease. She then thought about his question.

You see, i could never let anyone take what means the most to me, and if you would like, you are more than welcome to stay here and keep me company, i am very lonely.

She looked into Smoke's eyes. "I would very much like to stay here and keep you company. I am lonely as well," she stated as she slightly pulled his white mane affectionatly. The stallion was kind and caring. Perfect. "So Smoke," she started with a smile. "You seem almost perfect as a first impression. Do you have a flaw?" she asked as she pranced aways slowly.

[Cantora]

Smoke

He looked on at the speckled mare, she wanted to appear strong, how cute.. she seemed like the type.
she pulled his mane slightly in an affectionate manner, he did enjoy her company.

very well then my dear sweet Lakota, you shall stay with me in my herd lands.

Why yes Dear, everyone has a flaw, mine happens to be that i cant resist a mare, when they want something, i absolutly must give it to them. that is my curse.
he chuckled.
he nuzzled her sholder, and then layed his facet over the nape of her neck.. so many things ran through his mind.. now was the time to ask them..

So Lakota, where are you from, how did you get here, do you have no family to call your own? he hoped this was not to much to ask too soon.. it was eating him up inside not knowing about her past..

[LouLou]

Lakota smiled at the stallion as he draped his head across the nape of her neck. She thought about what he said his flaw was. Did that mean if another mare came she'd be kicked aside? Sure Smoke wasn't necessarily her stallion but she didn't want to see him with another mare. One who may be prettier or better then her.

"I am from the Tiger Herd that resides up north. My siblings and I were kicked out of the herd, due to being the lead horses' offspring and they already had a heir, therefore we were chased out. My siblings and I decided to seperate when we arrived her in Rayara. We'd all go different directions but try to stay in touch. Those three siblings and I are family but I have no family of mine and a stallion's. I have yet to have a foal due to my maturity but I am at the appropriate age," Lakota summed up with a smile. Dream Catcher was her twin sister, the only sister she had. The other three were stallions. The two she came with were Frosty Beau and Smoke Ring.

Smoke

bright blue occs looked on at the beautiful mare before him, his mare. he was happy that she had agreed to stay, this would make him stronger, and make him more of a leader. not that he was not a leader already, for he was, and a great one at that.

I am sorry that you got rejected from your herd dear lakota, but i do prey that your siblings are alright, this is a new land, many things can reside her, hard to tell what though. he said with a somber tone. he did not want to upset his pretty mare, but it was the truth, many things reside in the woods, and predators are not the only thing that lurks in the forests. Rouge stallions also pose a thret.

he nuzzled his spotted beauty, then he groomed her mane lovingly. he was so happy she stayed with him, he was sure that she was a perfect match for his herd. it would be some great times they would have. she would be his queen someday. he just did not want to rush things.

[LouLou]

Lakota Dreamer smiled as the stallion nuzzled her and groomed her mane. "It is quite okay. I always wanted to leave the herd anyway. I wanted to be able to have a family and possibly a herd of my own. And whatever resides here I know how to mask confidence," she stated with a chuckle.

Her ears pricked at the sound of her siblings neighs. She rose her coco head into the air and neighed. Her neigh was much like Dream Catcher's except it was slightly deeper. She lowered her head and smiled. Her dear siblings were okay and so was she. She bobbed her head happily and silently longed for them to come here. Knowing Dream Catcher she was probably yelling at a stallion who wanted her. And Smoke Ring and Frosty Beau were probably having a hard time because of how respectful they were. They probably already bowed and shown a mare that they had no intention of hurting her.

"Those are my siblings neighs. Smoke Ring is the deepest and his neigh always reminds me of a blanket because it's comforting. Frosty Beau has the deep one that sounds like he's singing to the sky. And Dream Catcher has the one that sounds like she's singing and it's higher then mine," Lakota explained with a smile.

Smoke

Smoke listened as she talked of her family, it was very much unlike his own. he was from a herd where stallions of royal blood where not kept alive. foals were treated with no mercy. and mares were slaves to there own free will. he was a lucky one. but many were not.

blue eyes flicked to hers. it was in this moment that he felt it was right to ask her.
My Dear Lakota, if i may be so bold as to ask you to join my herd as my queen.? he lowerd his voice to a slow melody. ivory bod moved closer to her, he wanted as close as he could get.. if she refused his offer he would be heartbroken. he wanted her to be his queen. it was only natural. but life itself for him was takeing turns and twist that he did not expect. he wanted this to be a good turn out.

[LouLou]

Lakota Dreamer smiled. Her green eyes focused on his blue ones. "Me? Your queen?" she asked breathlessly. "Of course!" she stated with a little squeal. She smiled. She pranced away from the stallion but turned around and pranced back. She nuzzled his neck and smiled. She bucked slightly happily. Then laughed at how excited she was.

"Thank you Smokey," she stated softly as she bowed her head slightly. She looked towards the trees and the grass. She had noticed earlier how positive the vibe was here but now it was a happy vibe. She shook her coco, white spotted coat and smiled at Smoke. She hadn't noticed how blue his eyes were; they reminded her of Dream's. "I wonder how Dream is doing," she wondered softly.

OOC muse kinda went downhill with this post lol

[Cantora]

Smoke

Smoke rejoiced at the sound of her acceptance.. he was now ready to have the herd he always wanted. it was a great day for him, he was so excited.. but something haunted him..

My dear Lakota, i dread to tell you, but i must go away for a while, i want to to stay and take charge of our lands, you can do that, i am going to get new herd members, i will return when i have some new faces, but i want you to know, you are my queen, nothing can change that, but i must build our herd.

he frowned at his having to leave, but it was the only way the herd could survive. it was the only way..

[LouLou]

Lakota Dreamer listened at what he stated sadly. She nodded her head. "Of course my king. If any rogue stallion decides to roam in here, I cannot fight him but I will call for your aid," she stated sadly as she nuzzled him. She understood that a stallion must find new members but she also knew stallions stayed loyal to their queens unless they were dark stallions who didn't give a damn.

She bowed her head and said, "Good luck at finding new members my dear. Come back as soon as you can." She smiled at him so that way he wouldn't leave her knowing she was sad. Yes, she was sad but she was understanding and knew what the king had to do. Afterall her father was a king and he often left the herd, leaving her mother in charge. Her mother had taught her a few things. It was impossible for a mare to physically fight a stallion but they could mentally.

Smoke

Smoke did not want to leave his beautiful queen, but he had to he had to ensure the future of his herd and their lives. plus, he needed to know who the neibors where, and if they posed a thret to them, it was the only way..

he moved forward to lakota, placed his solid white body close to hers and nuzzled her neck.
I will be back my queen..no need to wory, i can tell your voice for miles away. you will never have to fear, for i will return soon. he brushed his maw along the line of her back and then turned away..

Rearing in a show of strength he cantered off white ivorys showing as he charged out of the tera. almost as if smoke was flying from his pillers he slowly disapered out of sight.
