Havoc .+. Mayhem .+. Pandora .+. Chaotic .+. Forgotten .+. Sobe

She was moving quickly, so quickly over the ground with an odd bunch trailing behind her. As she neared the border, Forgotten slowed until she finally came to a halt. The warlander mare snorted as her eyes gazed about, seeking Aydan. She let loose a piercing whinny, calling to the two leads, then turned. Havoc. Pandora. Mayhem. Make yourselves look less... Threatening. A siberian tiger made his way out of the brush, his hackles raised. I don't see why we're here, Forgotten. We could have made it on our own. His moss green eyes were filled with disdain, but he would not leave. He had risked to much and come to far to leave now. The dark bay turned her dark brown eyes to the tiger. No, Havoc. We couldn't have. Food is running short for you and the wolves, and I can't keep running us in circles, hiding from the circus. Circus escapees? Now wasn't that interesting.

Latin and Sobe were next, two more horses. Latin, a small chilean horse, snorted slightly. He trusted Forgotten, but as of late things had been getting a little... Tense, in the group. Sobe, a connemara stallion as white as snow with soft cinammon flecks stood tall and proud. Constantly he was trying to prove himself to Forgotten and constantly she ignored him. The poor stallion just wanted to love her. Was that so bad?

Pandora, Mayhem and Chaotic came next. Mayhem, a black panther, stretched and dug her claws into the earth stirring its scent into the early morning air. She stood, and then with a mightly leap jumped upon Forgottens back causing the mare to jump slightly. Even though this had been a trained trick for the two, Forgotten never ever forgot how sharp those claws and teeth were on the panther. The panther lay down, stretched across the mares back her tail swishing upon her side. She could smell the horses nervousness but had grown accustomed to it over the past few months. Forgotten and Pandora were her two closest friends in the group, and nothing would ever harm them.

Pandora and Chaotic stood side by side, the cheetah and the odd looking wolf.

Trailing behind them all was a very pregnant friesian mare, an exact replica of Hidden Shadows. A sibling? Quite possibly. However, she knew nothing of her past, and most likely never would. She huffed and puffed as she stood and waited, awaiting the arrival of the leads.

gypsy king

Gypsy had settled into his role as lead stallion and he love Aydan and would protect her. His tail flicked out as he grazed but then caught scent of the group and he let his head shoot up the 17.3 hand gypsy vanner stallion watched them and soon approached them.Greetings, I am Gypsy King lead stallion, who may you be and what is your purpose?He spoke.

Aydan

The white and brown mare was among some trees to be away from everyone else. She was stubborn and not wanting to be intrude upon during this time. Her flanks heaved as sweath gathered upon her body. She layed down knowing the time was near for her foal to be born. Nothing filled her but anxiety. How would everyone react to having a lead with a daughter that wasn't the lead stallion's very own? That was why the secret must never come out. Aydan had too much stubborn pride. Pride that kept her from revealing the identify of her soon to be foal's father. Nobody knew but her, the father, and her mate. Sure she was still shocked that Gypsy had taken it so well. She wondered what had made Gypsy love her THAT much.

Within moments a bay tobiano filly lay next to her. With mild patience Aydan helped her to her feet to nurse. Than with that done she herded her daughter back to the open ready for curious faces to find her. Snorting she spotted Gypsy with a large group of animals. Instictivly she headed there making sure her daughter stayed close. Comming up she introduced herself even if it was clear she was lead by the way she carried herself.

"I am Aydan, lead mare of this place."

Thorn and a few others came along to incase something should happen. They had been grazing, but now they came closer in case a fight broke out. Everyone was cautious knowing nothing stayed peaceful forever. Thorn was staring at Forgotten a black beauty. Instinctivly he wanted to know more about this mare. What darkest hell do you live in he thought to himself with a smile. The gypsy vanner turned his attentions to the other strangers, before it went back to the black mare. Which reminded him so much of agony and darkness. His blue shades stared at her as his white mane fell to caress his black masked face. Everything else upon him was white except for a brown splotch on his hindquarter.

Surrender .+. Forgotten

Surrender stayed close to her mother, her eyes wide and open. The bay tobiano watched the panther upon Forgottens back. Mama... Whats that? She whispered softly. Then her eyes drifted to Havoc, then to Pandora. The cats were strangely exotic to her. Mayhem gave a grin to the little foal, and the smile was nothing if not sinister. Her tail was making thump thump thump noises against Forgotten's side. She stood and stretched, her black muscles bunching beneath her coat. She jumped down, and began to walk closer to both Aydan and her foal, licking her lips. My name, my dear, is Mayhem. Her tail twitched and she dug her claws into the earth. And I, am a black panther. Forgotten spoke then, her voice chillingly cold. You have nothing to worry about, dear one. Mayhem and the other cats know their place and know not to harm pride, or herd members. Mayhem halted, about two feet from the horses with a cocky grin on her face. Relax, Forgotten... I'm just playing... Her tail twitched, her dark eyes on the filly's own. She stayed half crouched as though she were ready to pounce, before she smirked. Cute kid. Then her eyes drifted over the other horses and she gave a grin. As our oh so fearless leader has said, my name is Mayhem. We are seeking a home, a place to stay, a hiding place. We have some... Problems... Following us, but we do believe that we lost them.

Now Forgotten spoke. My name is Forgotten. We've traveled long and hard, and wish to help you with your herd. We have much to offer. Protection, safety... She was desperate and running low on resources. Aydan was her last hope. She just had to pray that the cats would remember to behave.

Although she had yet to look at the other horses besides King and Aydan, Sobe didn't miss the way that Thorn was staring at his dark bay leader. With a snort, he stepped up beside the mare, pressing his body close to hers so that they brushed. An annoyed glance was given to the stallion, and Forgotten swished her black tail. Not now. Her eyes seemed to say. But Sobe held firm, glaring at Thorn. A challenge?

Aydan

She couldn't answer her daugher right away. Due to the fact that she had moved protectivly infront of her when the feline approached. She stopped a hoof in simple warning. She was not going to stand for this kind of behavior at all. Motherly instincts, right? She glanced at her filly her eyes holding a trace of guilt. Maybe later when she grew up Aydan will tell the truth to her. Heck, Surrender might even get to meet her father, if he ever showed up again. Than she heard what Forgotten said. Her protective posture dropped some, but she still remained infront of her daughter. She spoke now to Forgotten who had finished speaking.

"It is nice to meet you. I think we can allow you to join as herd members. Fair warned though that you may need to fight. We have some not so kind neighbors at the time. Other than that your welcome as long as no harm is meant. Along with that you will have no rank at first till we know where you belong,"she said shooting a glance to some of the felines and a few of the horses. That way she wouldn't seem to against the felines. She wasn't meaning to be, but the felines were knew to her kind. In time she would get used to them though. She glanced to Gypsy to see his reaction.

Thorn seeing the glance smirked. He wasn't the leader, Gypsy was. However he did hold a certain place here as subordient. While the others would be omegas due to them beings so new. Sure Thorn and his friends had been omegas, no ranks pretty much, till they could be trusted. Gypsy's old group hadn't been because Aydan was showing that they could be trusted due to they had been with Gypsy. If her mate could trust them, then so could they, at least that's what she told the herd when they questioned it. His smirk said clearly, 'careful you are not my boss'. He could sense the two weren't mates by the visible sighns such as the mare attitude toward the stallion and vice versa. Clearly Sobe wanted her, but so did Thorn. At least Thorn wanted to get to knowh her. Nothing was going to stop him from trying either, after all everythings fair in love and war, right?

"Greetings I am Thorn subordient of Toklat Canyon,"he said starting with saying names. Alexis, Thorn half sister, spoke her name next and than followed by a few others that were around. This would be Jenret, Coil, and Jenneth. Along with the two wolves present Tod and Soul Stealer.

Surrender

Her eyes were wide as she stared at the black cat, with her all to bright eyes. She was fascinated by Mayhem, and that could either be a good thing or a very bad thing. Mama... Mama I want to go play with her... She whispered softly. The tobiano filly was a cute little thing really. And her personality was enough to get her in trouble.

We are not afraid to fight. Forgotten murmured softly. Then Thorn was speaking. I am Forgotten. The black cat is Mayhem, Pandora the cheetah. Sobe, the white connemara, Nirvana the friesian. Latin, the chilean. Havoc the tiger. Last is Chaotic, the wolf. As their names were spoken, each gave a nod. Sobe once more stepped up, and once more was rebutted by forgotten, as her eyes were on Thorn

Aydan

Aydan looked to her daughter. Than her gaze went back to the newcommers who she nodded to in welcome before she faced her daughter once again. She smiled at her with slight pride. "Okay, honey. I need to talk to someone anyways. Alexis go with her please," was all she said. So Alexis went forward with the lead's foal to the feline.

Than Aydan looked to Gypsy. She waited incase he was in a conversation, but she gave him a look saying they needed to talk. Her demise radiatd no feelings other than normal ones as she waited. No reason to make the herd neverous as well.

Thorn smirked dangerously. Sometimes if he was in the mood he could get bad boy which he was doing now. He narrowed his eyes at Sobe with mockingness, before he turned back to see Forgotten watching him. Still smiling he came forth as the others began to break up. So what if Sobe heard him speaking to Forgotten, it didn't unerve him.

"Hello Forgotten. Would you like to graze and talk with me? Or walk and talk either one suits me?" For all that it was worth he ignored the other stallion beside Forgotten.

*howl*

Just as forgotten was about to speak, a bone chilling howl came from the west. It wasn't Saydin's howl, no no, for the horses here had come to know that evil chaos of her. This howl was pure, even, and deadly. Rein was calling to the Toklat Canyon herd. The War had started, and today would be the day that Saydin would die.
