crazy, open ] who says you're not worth it?

the marked grullo let his eyes wander as he trotted to mitchell river. he wasn't sure where his love was, which worried him. the last time he saw her was when they had bred. hopefully arwen didn't think that was all the rebel leader wanted. she was the rebel's mistress -- meaning she was his mate. there weren't many members in his little revolt group that it didn't frighten him. followers would soon start to join once they saw how unfair their rulers were. it was odd for cian to be going against those who were royalty. after all, his shoulder was marked with the birthmark that branded him as a king. kc. to him, it was a joke. he didn't want the pressures of being a king. but being a leader to bring down kings... it didn't seem too bad.

his nature wasn't rebellious. he could be a troublemaker, no doubt, but he wasn't normally one to plan a revolt. but... what he saw leaders do changed that. his own love was a victim of kings. a lead took her as a slave and used her for his own pleasure. it was because of that dark leader that made arwen worry that she would not produce a child for cian. he already assured her that he would love her whether or not she could produce an heir. as much as he loved foals, it didn't worry him. arwen was his love. if he needed heirs, he could just adopt orphans or even breed with other mares.

he didn't like that idea. he didn't want to breed with others. he felt too attached to arwen. to breed like normal leads do... he would fear that it would appear like he was betraying her. even if she accepted it, he never could. he wasn't one to betray those he cared so strongly for. if he hadn't met arwen, sure, he would've bred with other mares to strengthen the clan, but he did meet arwen. he met his other half and to bond that way with other mares... no, cian refused. if she couldn't produce, they would just adopt.

his light eyes gazed at the wide river and he smiled. he met her here. of course, they met demogorgon here as well. but this was where he met the mare he loved. sighing, he glanced around, hoping that she would be here. throwing up his head, he called to her, hoping that she would hear him and understand where he was at.

Arwen was grazing in a sheltered area. She was still a bit jumpy but no where near as bad as she once was. Her glistening copper hide shone with health and her barrel was large. It had only been a few months but already the foal was beginning to alter her figure.

This little thing she did not mind. In fact she was excited that she bore a foal inside of her and not just any foal. It was Cian's foal. She loved him dearly but had wandered off to find a bit of grass that was richer so that when the time came she would have a good production of milk for the foal which would be their heir. She felt lucky and grateful to have met Cian. She loved him so much and wished the herd would grow for him well for both of them. But if it was just Cian, herself, and their foal she wouldn't mind either.

The vixen heard Cian's call wondering where she was at. Worry and anxiousness was heard and to prevent her love from stressing she whinnied back. Grabbing one last mouthful of luscious green grass she loped over to the grullo stallion. Flicking her tail at some pesky flies and killing them she slowed her barrel lightly swaying from side to side as she stopped beside him. Nuzzling at his neck she inhaled his scent. Hello dear, sorry to have worried you. I was eating some really good grass full of nutrients. voice was soft and quiet still. But fear was no longer held there, instead confidence and love.

cian

don't leave me here like this
can't hear me scream from the abyss
and now i wish for you, my desire

the prehistoric-looking male would've loved to feel at ease. but he just couldn't bring himself to wind down. normally, he was a fairly laidback spanish male but right now, worry seemed to be his name. his lovely copper lady seemed to have wandered out of his sight. or, maybe the grullo moved out of hers... whichever way, he still didn't know if she was okay or if their foal grew inside of her. a soft smile formed on his gray-brown face. their foal. what if it was successful? would the little one be a colt or filly? would they look after him or her, or even a cross? what would they name him or her?

excitement ran through him and he began an anxious tap dance after he let out a call for her. it didn't occur to him -- or, at least, he refused to allow the thought -- that his seed hadn't fastened itself in hers. his black tipped ears perked when her voice answered him. an eager nicker escaped his lips as he turned and spotted her.

the sun struck her, making her seem like she was walking flames. her coat was healthy and lovely. no harm seemed to come down onto his mate, and for that, he was thankful. it was then that he noticed the round barrel. she hadn't been that large when he met her. no. she had been a skinny little thing, skittish and afraid. now... now she was round with pregnancy and absolutely dazzling. his eager smile brightened, lighting up his face.

mi amo he breathed, calling her his love. he loved the feeling of her nuzzling his neck and he swore he melted at her hooves. he returned the affection softly, as if he were afraid if he applied to much pressure she'd break. he nickered sweet things to her and then gave her stomach the same treatment, nuzzling it. it's okay. i was just worried he murmured as he nibbled at her spine.

[crazyforhorses]

The copper colored fae noticed how worried her love had been and how he danced around. She didn't mean to but she couldn't help but laugh. But it felt good to laugh. The mare was in good spirits. She was carrying a foal, Cian's foal. To top it off she was his lead mare, his mate, and she was loved for who she was and not for what she could offer. Well that was a bonus but she knew Cian did not just want her for breeding. She knew he loved her as much as she loved him.

When he returned the affection she was so happy. Brown eyes noticed that the stallion had taken notice of her growing barrel and when he nibbled at her spine her frame shook and chills ran down her spine. The stud was so gentle, so loving, and caring she couldn't believe she was his. You have an heir that will be born in a few months m'love. she said happily.

Fury stood in the shadow watching the two pathetic lovebirds. The mare was beautiful. She was in foal but he could fix that quickly so that mutt wouldn't have an heir and she would have his foal. A beautiful and youthful slave. Perfect for his new herd. Lust filled him. He wanted her and what he wanted he got. The dun roan stallion walked out. Ears were pinned back and his neck arched. The hanovarian stood proudly and moved swiftly to the couple. Why hello there. I'm not one for introductions or for patience so give me the mare and there won't be a fight. Come on beautiful you'll be safe with me he snapped with cruelty and malice in his vocals.

The vixen sensed someone nearby and stood alert. She had a foal inside of her that needed protection and she'd protect it. Body tensed ready for something she could not see. Then the stallion showed himself. It was a Karashkan. The mare didn't have to know who it was but looks, actions, and voice said it all. Her body trembled in fear now. It was different when Cian nibbled at her, no fear was there but now with a stallion that wanted her she knew it would be a gruesome fight. I'm not going anywhere. Leave us alone and find another. she stated trying to keep her voice calm.

The brute laughed. I'm not intimidated. I am the royal king of Karashkans. Maybe you've heard of me. I'm Red Fury. I saw you and you'd make a great addition to my herd and make for a great slave that producers fighters. You'd be much more well protected than with this rag doll too. poison dripped and he didn't care. He was not one to play games all the time. He had to get back home and deal with another slave that needed some lessons taught and who knew when Faramir would show up.

don't leave me here like this

her laughter was like balm to his worries. she was healthy and alive. she was happy and pregnant. he smiled at her and nibbled at her spine, listening to her words about an heir in a few months. but his happiness was soon silenced. pulling his head up quickly, he flared his nostrils then flattened his ears. someone was watching. a stallion. he knew he wasn't imagining things when arwen also tensed, standing alert like him. once the stallion strolled out with pinned ears and an arched neck, cian snapped his teeth in warning before putting himself between the red male and his copper mate.

i'm not giving you my mare he stated, pressing himself against arwen and their unborn child. he nudged her, hoping her to get farther away from the intruder. they'd have to walk alongside the river in order to escape. when arwen spoke, cian arched his neck. there's plenty of other mares in this land he stated, reasonably. i'm sure you'll find someone else he stated, his tone polite but his jaw was tense.

once the male introduced himself, cian nearly screamed at arwen to run. king of the karashkans. of course. here was another good reason to take down the kings; they always thought what was others' was theirs. cian's teeth grinded together. well your majesty, i'm afraid you're not going to take her he snarled out. he turned his head slightly, as if to block arwen from the other male's gaze. go he murmured softly, without turning the attention onto arwen.

[crazyforhorses]

The mare felt Cian move up against her and their unborn foal. Fear radiated from her. She knew that if Fury got ahold of her he would make sure she lost the foal for good. She'd seen it before. Sweat started to darken her beautiful pelt. She could handle most anything that came her way but remembering what had happened to her before she just couldn't take it. The femme trembled. No this couldn't be happening. Not when things were going so good for her.

The mare heard Cian defend her and try to talk Fury out of wanting her. Inside Arwen knew that Fury would not be talked out of what he wanted. That's how Karashkan's were unfortunately. Her love told her to go. Part of her just wanted to flee but she was his mate and would not leave him alone. Fury would kill him if she left. At least it was two against one at the moment. No, I'm not leaving you. Besides running won't solve the problem. she said quietly.

Fury laughed and narrowed his eyes. I'm not backing down nor am I going to search for other mares. At least not at the present moment. Her pretty coat and figure would do quite well with producing good quality foals that will become my fighters. he snarled. He wasn't taking no for an answer. He lost the golden vixen he wanted, he wasn't losing another. Darting forward he lunged at Cian's throat hoping to catch the jugular.

Arwen knew how a Karashkan was and was expecting the stag to lunge at Cian or her. Chances were Fury would take out Cian then take her so there would be less complications. She was ready and bunched muscles pushed her forward quickly and she surprised Fury with the unexpected action and she ran into his side so that he missed and she kicked at him hoping to snap his leg. She missed and her barrel swayed throwing her off-balance but she caught herself before falling. Fury wasn't expecting the pregnant mare to come after him and she caused him to stumble and got angry. You b*tch! You will pay for that! he screamed angrily and darted for her.

so since there are no longer karashkans, is this thread still goin on? lol

also, i have a fairly dark girl who use to be demogorgon's queen but demo hasn't really been on. so maybe fury could have her?

[crazyforhorses]

OOC: I'll just switch him to a dark. He can be like a Rahkai. So we can keep going & I'd love to have your mare we'll have to think of a plot.

[Exxie]

ooc: peek-a-boo! I have an idea. Mist in there too! Jealousy anyone?

[crazyforhorses]

ooc: Oooooh me like this idea you've got. I pm'd Ranger to see if I can get a dark territory and then if I can get a territory we can pick up where we left off and just make a new thread and just act as if everything happened was still where this new territory was at rather than before. And Fury won't be King and Mist queen but if I get the land then they can both stay leads at least.

[vampy ]]

-is confused- so are we still doing this thread? you've confused me craze lol. are we doing a new thread or were you talking to exmoor about that? or did you mean that for abyss. -slowly losing her mind- i'm sorry. i've been asleep for quite some time. mind is slightly foggy

[crazyforhorses]

ooc: lol, sorry Vampy. Didn't mean to confuse you. Yes we can continue this thread. Fury will just be switched to dark and if you wouldn't mind could you make a thread in Bekran Desert with Mist and Rose? I'll say Fury is following them to make sure Rose cooperates. Also Fury can have your mare since Demo isn't active. So wherever we left off we'll just keep posting and forget that Fury was ever king of Karashkans and lived where the Karashkans lived and just say he claimed Bekran Desert recently but made sure no one attempted to steal it from him before he brought Mist and Rose home. So now we can just pick up here and keep posting now with Fury, Arwen, and Cian

and in Bekran Desert (if you don't mind making the thread) I'll reply with Fury
