.Reincarnation.

She moved quickly and quietly towards Toklat Canyon, fury seething from her small white body. She had a score to settle, and she knew just the horse to talk to. As Rein reached the edge of the territory, she threw back her dainty white head and let loose a howl calling to Aydan and any other horses here that might give a damn. She wanted Saydin to pay for what she had done, and pay she would if Reincarnation had anything to say about it. She was the new alphess of the silver glades, had just became alphess in fact and had a nice and decent little pack going when Shena, a wolfess of hers, came up missing. After months of searching, Rein had finally found where they had taken poor dear Shena. She was being held captive at the Sedge Creek. She knew Aydan wouldn't tolerate this, just like Rein wouldn't. She needed an ally, and she needed one now.

Gypsy

The gypsy vaner stallio heard the call and proceeded to go toward the call. He knew that Ayda had yet to choose a lead stallion but he was determined to become that stallion.He dipped his head.Greetings, i am Gypsy King , My leader will probably be here any secodHe spoke.

Aydan

A spider's web
May weave and weave
Just like a mind's thought
Till it can't weave no more...

Aydan was silent as she patroled her border. She was wondering why everything had gone so peaceful. Had Kahvi and the others given up? It wasn't till that that she realized what was happening. She was becoming paranoid! Shaking her head as if to get rid of the thoughts she payed attention to her surroundings. Hmm maybe she should call a herd meeting to see who was all around. She knew that Heartbreak had dissapeared mysteriously, but everyone else was around that she could realize.

Sure she hadn't seen Morbid since Hidden's death, but Morbid had the right to mourn. After all Morbid and Hidden had seemed as close as brothers to her. The only thing that Aydan had was her mother. Lucky enough for her was the fact that her mother's owner was the one that kept her. If it was the father she most likely would of grown up alone. Just like she was sure her first children were. For both process it had been twins, one filly and three colts. No she didn't know where they were, and each one had stayed with her for only a year before going to the stallion's owner.

As if to bring her out of her thoughts a howl was sounded not too far away. Curioius as to what this wolf wanted she went to investigate. Sticking to the trees she stared out seeing a wolf she didn't recognize. Had this something to do with Kahvi? Just than she saw a figure walk to the wolf. It was Gyspy King who had shown up. Curious she wondered what would happen. She watched for a minute in the shadows before she herself appeared like a ghost.

"What may this visit from you mean, fea,"she asked voice welcoming, and cautious.

Than it starts new
Like the first day
While the other's merely
Cobwebs in the head...

Rein

Rein gave a polite nod to Gypsy King, andwatched as two more horses appeared. The first, a mare that she hoped was the leader, and the second, a fiery red stallion that she had seen once or twice before. I am Reincarnation, Rein to my friends, alphess of the Silver Glades. Her bright yellow eyes were fever bright, much like Saydins had been when she was here, but Rein was much different from Saydin... Much different indeed. I believe that you and I share a common enemy, by the name of Saydin. She has stolen a pack member of mine and won't release her. Her agitation was evident as her tail twitched and her hackles raised slightly, not at the horses but at the thought of Saydin.

Gypsy King

He listened and turned his head to aydan ad attempted to nuzzle her before paying attention.Saydin? He stomped a hoof. this particular hoof had a scar on it from that attack so lonng ago. He would let aydan speak thouh

Aydan

Aydan watched as Morbid appeared after her. She gave him a nod in hello before returning her attenion back to Rein. She allowed Gyspy to nuzzle her, but she didn't return the gesture due to she heard what Rein said. Her anger was proof upon her face as to what she thought of this. Her WHOLE body was still scared from what happened at Prarie Falls. Hidden Meadow's death was still recent, and the grief about it was still in some members hearts.

"Indeed, we do...,"she said trailing off letting Rein continue to speak. Her eyes were curious now as she watched the small wolf. Was something interesting about to happen?

Rein

Her bright yellow eyes turned ever brighter, and she gave a sinister smile. There is a weak link in Saydins pack, her own son, no less. He wants out... But I think we should make Saydin suffer, as she has made you and I suffer. I hear that she stole a pack mate of yours. She watched as Morbids eyes turned dark with rage, and panic flickered inside of her but she kept it hidden. She didn't want to rouse the fury of a twelve hundred pound animal. Sure, she had fangs, but hooves? Yeah, they hurt. You say there is a weak link? Morbid asked. IT was the first time in many months that he had spoken, but his battle mode was way high, and he wanted to kill Saydin. For better or worse.

Rein gave a wary nod of her white dial. Razorblade, the grey male at Saydins packlands. He hates Saydin, but he won't leave, won't strike otu against her. I think he just needs someone to... Turn him around. Her eyes swept back up to Aydan. I also wish to tell you, that someone in your pack is a traitor. I know not who, but be careful. At that particular moment, Bones, Thirteen, and Spy all wandered over. The two black mares watched Rein curiously, while Bones stood somewhat back behind Thirteen.

Gypsy

Gypsy listened to it all. his ears flickered at there being a traitor amongst them. He stomped a hoof as he stared at the members before looking back.Saydin should suffer alot, She had done nnothig but terrorize these landsHe spoke quietly.

Aydan

Aydan listened the whole time. "Thank you for the information, Rein. As for the traitor i know who she is. It's Heartbreak, but she is no longer part of our herd,"she said to the mare. Her gaze than turned to Morbid when he spoke. She read his face. Tensing her muscles she moved to stand infront of him to make him fully see her instead of his battle mode. "Not now. I understand you want for revenge, but no till we know there is nothing but winning for us. We are no ready,"she said making her voice low, but firm. Aydan was in season, and in no position to fight. She turned back to Rein. "Thank you for letting me know this. If you allow it i will be happy to call you my ally. However i must ask you to make your visit short for i must talk to my members. It is time we talk about strategy,"she said to Rein in a polite manner.

Rein * Morbid

Rein gave a polite nod. Allys, then. She turned and trotted off, ready to give the news to her pack of her decision.

Morbids eyes were on Aydan, his entire body tense. In his own way, he loved her, but indeed, it wasn't enough. There was a piece of him missing, and deep down he knew that he couldn't give Aydan the love she deserved. I can't do this anymore, Aydan. Would he make a great lead stallion? Definetly. But wouldh e make a great lover? Not now. The death of Hidden was still to fresh in his mind. Morbid was still highly volatile, ready to strike out at anything and everything in sight. Including Aydan.

Aydan

I'll be strong no matter what
To believe in all of you
For the best of always
For all your hearts shines...

Aydan watched quietly as Rein said goodbye. Her eyes traveled after the small wolf till she was out of sight and mind. Maybe, this was for the best she thought with a grin. Shaking her head she turned to face Morbid waiting for his reaction to her standing infront of him.

Her heart ached, but for only a bit as his words sunk in. She finally understood what he meant. She gave a fake smile at him feeling uncomfortable. She accepted that they couldn't be mates, but it was going to be uncomfortable for her for awhile. After all her feelings for him stayed near, but from now he would have to be a friend. It seems Hidden's death finally made it clear.

In a way Aydan figured Hidden's death helped them. It made their herd a stronger, knitted group like a family. Aydan was able to figure out who she trully needed to be with...and Morbid...well Morbid still had a ways to go. However it seems death had a role to play in this.

"Morbid we have to talk, about your state,"she said refering to how the grief was eating him up. She saw that Morbid was ready to strike, even at her. She didn't care though. She was too worried about Morbid. That's just the way she was, loyal till the end. She wouldn't accept it if Morbid died because of his grief. She had to at least try to ease his misery.

She shot a look to Gypsy hoping he understood. In that glance it told it all. That she loved him, and she finally was able to admit it. Now she understood her feelings for him, and that was how it should be. However her eyes also said that she HAD to help Gypsy before they could talk. Please understand her eyes said before she turned back to Morbid waiting for him to argue or agree. Her eyes were firm showing there was no way out of this.

Like my own personal light
That won't ever go out
It scares the night away
With one brilliant beat...

Morbid

She moves through Moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften,
She is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head thats says
"Oooh love me dead" Love me dead.

Morbid gave a small nod of his head, then turned and began to walk away. He brushed against Bones and felt a slight kick from her stomach. His foal, already growing. A soft sigh escaped him as he continued on towards Orca Bay. A quiet place to talk indeed. The other three mares, Spy, Bones, and thirteen, all of them had foals growing inside of them, all of them Morbids. He wanted children. At least, he thought he wanted children. Maybe they could help take away the pain he felt inside.

Love me cancerously
How's your new boy? Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast.
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!
