Temari,Anko,Kin,Hinita,TenTen,Gaara,Kankuro

Temari led the way.Nares flaring to pick up the scents around her.Her young daught Hinita wasn't far behind.

They were soon followed by anko another mare.Her head raised a bit high.She was followed by her daughter TenTen.

Then after those there was kin with her two colts right behind her.She snorted and as soon as the others stoped she lowered her dial to graze on some grass.All the foals began to nurse.

Lunar Eclipse & Freedom Rings

Running free,
One with the wind,
You can't take us down,
'Cause we forever carry the crown.

A couple of members from the Horse Clan were walking through the marsh. Their legs were drenched with water and caked with muck as sucking noises were heard from them pulling their hooves out of the deep soggy marshland. This place wasn't too much in the mare's favor, but she had gone along anyway.

Lunar Eclipse, the stallion, and the one leading Freedom Rings, halted abruptly as he spotted a large group of horses, all mares, with fillies and around maybe not even a few colts, it seemed. His head tilted, and he quickly navigated out of the soggy muck around the water, and stepped onto more solid ground. He stared at them, but dropped his head right after, down to what little grass there was. His overo body sparkled in the overhead sunlight, but had a bit of dried dirt on it in some places; mostly all over his limbs.

Freedom halted right behind him, nearly tripping and falling head-first into the water below. She caught herself with a foreleg, though, and quickly jumped off to the opposite side of Lunar, giving her mane a strong toss. "Watch it, Lunar!" she exclaimed as she shook her body roughly, sending droplets of water off in every direction. Then once she looked up, her eyes landed on the big group of horses. Her eyes narrowed against the sun, and she focused completely on them. "You there; who are you?" she called out, but lightly. No telling who they were, or what they were capable of. She stood there next to Lunar, feeling somewhat better within his protection. It's not like she couldn't take care of herself, but you could never be sure these days, and then it wasn't like he was really paying any attention, either.

Temari,Anko,Kin,Hinita,TenTen,Gaara,Kankuro

Temari's dial lifted at the sound of horses coming through the marsh.She spotted the two and stomped her feet in warning her ears back.Soon one spoke.Her ear went forward.She shook her dial."Why should we tell you who we are if we don't know you?"

The young filly stoped nursing and watched the two horses.She was the oldest filly and was protective over her cousins.

Anko:She lifted her dial and watched her nares flared.She stomped a hoof in irritation.She was shy but very protective.

TenTen:Being the second oldest she reared and slashed the air in warning at the intruders.

Kin:She snorted and glared.she hated being disturbed while she ate it was so impolite."maybe you should trying be more polite and wait till we finish eating"She hissed.Well when you have twins to raise you would understand.

The two young colts gaara and Kankuro gzed at the other but did nothing.

Lunar Eclipse & Freedom Rings

Lunar Eclipse now raised his head, catching the words clearly. He gave a strong snort, and pounded his forehoof into the ground, sending a bit of dirt shooting out from his hoof by the impact. "Hush! Who are you to backtalk?" he snorted, eyes darkening. He gave his banner a swish, sending some mud and muck flying off of the tip, which was where it had been dragging through the marsh. He didn't say anything more, but he was ready for a comeback if he had to put in his couple cents.

Freedom's dial lifted higher as she gave a rough snort. Her eyes glared straight at the mares who spoke, and she gave a shrill scream, which only mares did. "Lowlives!" she yelled out, giving a small buck. She had a, incredibly small temper, and patience was wearing thin.

Anko

The quiet one was the one to angry quickly.She glared at both of them and turned herself in a circle her ears flat back.She tossed her dial.If she didn't have a foal she would of ran straight for the mare."We are no lowlives! You mongrels.."She snorted.

Temari:"calm down anko no use wastin our speech on these fools"She snorted shaking her dial and returning ot grazing.

Kin:"yah they are just pests"She to lowered her dial.

The foals began to play with each other.

Lunar Eclipse & Freedom Rings

Freedom Rings stepped up with a strong snort again, and bared her teeth. "Lowlives? You're the ones living in a marsh! At least we have a home and a real herd, which is more than I can say for you idiotic foolish fillies. And we're pests, are we? Then I'll show you what pests are capable of!" she stated with an angry glare, before charging the nearest horse, whether it be youngster or not, and jumping off to the side, before starting around them in a wide circle. "Say hello to the bothersome pest!" she snorted out, hooves pounding loudly into the marsh as she stomped heavily into the muck, hoping to splatter them with it.

Lunar Eclipse's eyes widened slightly at watching what his friend was doing. Indeed, he had never seen this side of her before, but he guessed it was something she only showed to others that were being rude and acting like that they were; dimwits. He snorted harshly, auds pinned, ready to spring in and help Freedom if she needed it, although he wasn't one for fighting mares. They were as much as threats in their own way.

Kin

Kin seeing this mare going towards her daughter.She ran and reared even though the mare turned away her ears were flat"Bug off! We did nothing wrong your the ones who had to ask us who we were so rudly you ever think that that is why we didn't answer?"She pawed the ground and stood in bot hthe mares and stallions way.

Anko:She moved to her sisters side and glared at the mare.Her ears flat back."WE dont' live here we travel"She snorted.

Temari:She was the more laid back of the three and she sighed."look we are not weaklings and we are now lowlives....We are just having a hard time without our old stallion"She said calmly."I am temari and these are my half sister anko and Kin, Those our our children, Hinita,TenTen,Gaara and Kankuro"

The foals glared and the others nuzzled tenten to calm her down.

Lunar Eclipse & Freedom Rings

Lunar Eclipse glared at the group, muscles taught, body still. Such worthless beings! His eyes were narrowed, containing the darkness that was once within him long ago. He hadn't lost all of it, and wasn't at all afraid to unleash it again, as he had done in his past.

Freedom gave another snort, bucking in Kin's direction, aiming her hindhooves, which had a powerful amount of force behind them, for the other's chest, before wheeling around. "You are the ones who acted so rudely in return! So, travellers? Who cares? At least we have a place to call home, where we can go to when we want, and have no one bossing up around." she stated with a snort, teeth showing once again. She looked at Temari, and shook the words off.

Just then, Lunar came trotting up next to Freedom, dial raised, and banner swaying behind his painted form. He decided to just speak with the mare who he thought actually had at least a bit of sense. He glanced his glare at the other mares before looking to her, and narrowing an eye. "Old stallion?" he asked lightly, not at all sure of them. They seemed like the back stabbers in his eyes. "Just where in the world do you come from?" he asked in a low tone, keeping his distance. No telling what this bunch would do.

Hinita

Hinita and the other foals went back to playing.

Anko and Kin:They glared at temari."Why do you always have ot apologize?"They say and then just moved off kin getting slightly nicked by the mares blow but ignored it.

Temari sighed and ignored her sisters words."We come from a distant land that is all that you need to know we were treated poorly mainly because some bachlors had forcebred us"She sighed and shook her dial.

Lunar Eclipse & Freedom Rings

Freedom's jaw dropped as she watched Lunar actually begin talking to this mare. She gave a brief snort before turning and trotting off, next to the water. She lowered her dial down to it, but was keenly listening to the words being exchanged.

Lunar watched as Freedom turned away, and gave his mane a quick shake. He then looked back to the mare, who was smaller than him(of course), and narrowed his eyes again. "This valley is lacking horses. I don't know of any 'force'breeders, let alone barely any other horses for that matter. We came from a distant land as well; both of us, along with our clan." he stated, auds planed out to the sides. He disliked those other mares. He pitied them, but not because of the foals they had on their hooves, but becuase he thought they were rude and selfish. He didn't like horses like that; especially other stallions.

TenTen

The foals continued playing.

Temari:She sighed."Thats because it happened i nour old land, But anyways im sorry we were so rude to you you can't be so you know quick to speak to others you do not know"She sighed.

Anko and Kin:Their ears were placed flat back as they grazed.

Lunar Eclipse & Freedom Rings

Freedom just continued to listen, before disdainfully taking a few laps of the water with her tongue. Her eyes secretly narrowed, and her pelt shook as a fly whizzed past her. She slapped it skillfully with her long banner, and sent a few pieces of dirt along with it, but they shot back to the ground after a few feet. Well, time to leave. She lifted her head with a snort and started off at a flat-out gallop, straight homebound, not even looking back.

Lunar's auds swiveled as he heard Freedom's hoofbeats, and right at that instant, he knew she was leaving. The stallion gave a brisk sigh, and then tossed his mane to the opposite side of his neck, and allowed it to fall down gracefully. Ugh; such long hair wasn't something beneficial during such hot days. "Well, I am Lunar Eclipse. That mare that just left was Freedom Rings. I don't know how she'll take it, that I told you her name... I'de ask you to join us in our homeland, but I don't think it would be a very good idea." he said, sending a brief glance to the other mares warily.

Temari

She sighed and nodded."Well thats okay me and my sistres were gonna try to find a land to claim as our own anyways.."She msiled."well we must be off nice meeting you"She snorted and turned and nipped her sisters on the rumps and then took off.

Anko and kin snorted and they too took off.

the foals soon followed.

Lunar Eclipse

Lunar tilted his head and narrowed his eyes once more, watching them as they took off. What an odd bunch... Snorting, he turned-tail and bolted, in the same direction as his clanmate; in other words, homebound.
