Axel's Herd...Waiting For A Home

[Spitz]

Axel sighed, he was here were the herds stayed when they had no home to live at. He hoped that he could find someone to free his daughter from the lands here and Dysnomia should come back to a home when she leaves her old one. He lied down on the grass and licked his leg which had blood on from the battle.

His eyes scanned the land as he let out a piercing whinny to the land, hopefully drawing in anyone there. Everything seemed to grow darker here and Axel loved it, the land was adjusting to its new inhabitant and hopefully inhabitants. His mind drifted off to his mate and daughter, Dysnomia and Katemwati. He hoped he would find someone nice enough to free his daughter from the horrible thing of a horse, Embezzlement and that someone would be in Axel's debt forever. He hoped this horse would come soon as he wanted his daughter back so he could love her like he should.

To tell you the truth, I had no idea where I was. I left my old herd a few months ago, and since then, I'd been wandering about, from place to place. Not really keen on settling down anywhere. Just a traveller, I guess. Sighing softly to myself, I walked along at a walk, my icy blue eyes surveying my surroundings. My nares flared slightly, taking in the strong scent of stallion and mare alike. Turning my head this way and that, I searched for any signs of other horses, to see if they could help me find out where I was. Continuing on slowly, I called out, hoping atleast somebody would hear it. Halting, I stood still, my nares flaring, my ears swivelling, and my eyes searching. Then my gaze was drawn to a stallion in the distance, standing still. A whinny came from him, seeming to call oput to his herd members or anyone near. I snorted softly, then released a call to him.

(OOC: Sorry it sucks, but they will get better D;)

Axel heard the whinny echo into the wind and then heard a returning call. He galloped toward the shadowed figure and a small smile emerged from his lips "hello femme, welcome to, umm, my home" he sighed and looked at the mare again "not very, homely but my land was taken and now I live here until I find some land again". His dark eyes observed the mare and he nodded before looking back at her.

The sun shone on his ebony coat, making it glimmer, and he swished his tail which also reflected the sunlight. The stallion went to movve slightly and a pain shot to his stomach, where the stallion had clenched with his teeth and the pain seemed worse when the battle was over than when it had first happened. He didn't flinch at the pain so he ignored the stinging and he knew he wouldn't eat much for a few days when the pain would stop.

Not long after I released the call, a stallion heard it and galloped right up to me, stopping not too far away. "Hello, femme. Welcome to, umm, my home." He sighed before speaking again. "Not very homely, but my land was taken and now I live here until I find some land again." Understandalbe, that. A stallion versing another for his land, with the winner getting the right to move his herd into the land he won. The sun bore down on my black coat, slightly heating it up, but I paid it no heed. The stallion flicked his tail and moved closer to me. Sighing softly to myself, I opened my mouth to speak. "It's understandable, I guess. A stallion fighting for the right to keep his status intact, and his herd." I offered a small smile, before continuing to speak. "Clandestine. Ande for short." I flicked my tail slightly, and my ears swivelled slightly, before stopping. "What do they call you, stallion?" I paused and stayed quiet, waiting for his answer.

He smiled at her as she told him her name "they call me Axel, Ande, my mate is known as Dysnomia and my dear daughter is Kamenwati". He arched his boa proudly but then stopped as he thought of his two girls. "Kamen must stay in that land until her dying day unless she is saved but that cannot be me or my mate" he said and sighed as he missed his daughter so much and she was not here, with him.

He knew his mate only had to wait 2 weeks until her realese but to Axel that seemed like a lifetime. He wanted to do something about his daughter and then he looked at the mare and smiled "you might want to meet my daughter" he laughed "but you can only see her if you capture her unfortuently unless you run to that land and meet her there and why you are there you could get her back, and I will give you the position of Duchess in my herd".

I listened to him intently, as he spoke of his name, and his family. "They call me Axel, Ande. My mate is known as Dysnomia, and my dear daughter is Kamenwati." I watched him arch his neck proudly, as he spoke so fondly of his mate and daughter. "Kamen must stay in that land until her dying day, unless she is saved. But that cannot be by me or my mate." My gazed softened as he sighed, clearly sad that his daughter was no longer by his side. And she would no longer be, unless something was to happen about that. My gaze returned to normal, as he looked at me and smiled. "You might want to meet my daughter," He paused for a bit, before laughing then continuing on. "but you can only see her if you capture her. Unfortunately, unless you run to that land and meet her there. And why you are there, could you get her back? I will give you the position of Duchess in my herd." Duchess, eh? I've never been such a high rank in my life, and with such a high rank comes a lot of responsibilities. I guess I could give it a try, right? And if all goes wrong, then, he'll just lower my rank. No problem with that.

Sighing softly, my gaze softened and I smiled softly. "Pleasure to meet you, Axel. What you speak of is heartbreaking, and I couldn't bear to be away from someone I loved for that long. But it's apart of life, I guess." Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath, and my auds splayed ot the side for a moment, before regaining their normal position. I opened my eyes and looked back to Axel, smile still evident on my face. "I've never held such a high rank in my life, and there's a chance I could screw up. But, I guess we'll have to see about that, right?" Swishing my tail at my flank, I shook my neck quickly, my mane flying about, before coming to a rest on the left side of my neck. I looked at Axel, a smirk on my face, fire and determination in my eyes. "Where is your daughter located?" I paused, waiting to hear what he has to say. Let's do this.

Axel smiled as he heard that she would do it and he laughed "Fosse De Sabel, my dear" he said and knew that she would do a good job. His thoughts planted on Kamenwati, at just a year old she would already be with her father and that would be heaven. He pictured her running around his feet and then Dysnomia would come and see them, they would be together again and this time with a Duchess. He knew the herd was building and it was brilliant but his mind still trailed off to his lands.

He looked along until he saw the sun beating high in the sky and a very tiny glimmer of yellow infront of the mountains. "over there, that is where the land is" he said, pointing to the mountains with his maw. The mare seemed so nice and even though she was bigger than he was it seemed that she was not going to try and challenge him. The stallion smiled, Dysnomia would be proud of him to find such a strong mare to be the Duchess and Ande seemed perfect.

I remained quiet, while I listened closely to him. "Fosse De Sabel, my dear." My gaze followed his, as he pointed out the direction to his old herdland. "Over there, that is where the land is." Indicating the direction with his maw. I nodded, acknowledging that I now knew where his daughter was located. Narrowing my eyes, I kept my gaze on the mountainess terrain, making sure it was imprinted in my mind. Turning my head back to face him, I swished my tail at my flank, before speaking. 'You know, that there is a chance that I may fail. But, I shall try and get her back, no matter how hard it may be. I will use force, if necessary." In all honesty, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had no idea on how to go about stealing his daughter, nor do I know anything about the stallion I am to steal her from. But, I guess I made a promise of sorts. I can't back down from it now, nor do I want to. I never back down on my promises. My ears laced back to my head, and a snarl came to my features, giving me an almost threatening demeanour. Atleast for the time being. Locking my eyes with his, I let a deep growl rumble from within the caverns of my chest, forming the words. "What's the brute's name?" My yellowing teeth showing through the snarl. This anger was not directed at Axel, but moreso the stallion who I was preparing to challenge. "Let's do this." I said, another growl resonating from my chest, and a smirk of sorts pasted on my face.
