One Leaves, Two Return [Lilly/Tamara/Open]

[Nickyxxx]

Hooves cut deep into the snow as the two horses walked slowly back into the forest. One silver stallion and the other a pale filly - Tamara and Lilly. He looked around at the tall trees that glittered with snow and gasped with amazement. It was just as beautiful as when he left it.

A small robin called from the tree above them, calling for his mate but the stallion paid no attention. "Well, this is it... this is my home," he said to the foal in a voice that barely came out as a whisper for he was too astonished with his land.

They carried on until they came to a large open clearing with a small frozen pond that stood in the middle. He trotted over and broke the thin ice with his sift nose and took a few large glups before lifting his head to look at the filly, water dripping from his mouth. "What do you think? Do you like?"

Slowly I trudged through the snow next to Tamara. Trees began to loom over us as we entered him wondrous land. " Its beautiful." I said to him as I watched the trees. We had soon stopped by a lake, covered in ice. Tamara broke the ice in a small spot and drank some water. I wondered about the ice, for I had never see it before. It looked to be solid, very solid. While Tamara drank his water, I stuck out on hoof on the ice. Then another and another until my whole body was on it. My eyes widen with joy. I tried to walk but soon slipped and fell on my bum. Stunned at how cold the ice was, I leaped over to the snowy land.

I giggle at what I did at looked over to Tamara. " I love it." I replied to him. Then a question came to my mind. "Are there any other members in your herd?" I asked him sweetly.

Tamara watched the foal slide and fall on the ice. "Careful, you don't want to fall in if the ice breaks. I'm not sure how deep the pond is." he said with a small chuckle. Lilly seemed to be enjoying herself already.

"No, I'm afraid it's just me alone in my herd but I suppose you are a member now." Tamara said, answering the filly's question. He had only just left his family herd in search of something to call his own. Maybe it was time to find a mare to join him and Lilly on their adventures.

I was so happy to be here, and so happy that I met Tamara. I pranced about in the snow around Tamara, not minding the cold air. I stopped prancing and looked over at the stag, "Well of course I'm in your herd silly." I said with a little giggle. I started to prance again, this time prancing at a nearby bush. I wanted to look around and explore my new home yet I did not want to leave Tamara's side.

I wandered back to Tamara's side by the lake. I stood next to Tamara and started to think. Just thinking of the good that has happened in such a short time, how on the first day that I made is to the adoption bay I met Tamara and got a new home. As I stood there I looked up at Tamara,I started to wonder what was he thinking about?

Tamara watched the filly look up at him and smiled. "I guess you want me to show you around?" he asked, his eyes full of adventure. "I haven't even looked around properly myself yet but I suppose we could go explore now." He gave a half-rear and shot off through the trees, giving a small, happy buck as he disappeared through the trees, listening for the sound of tiny hooves racing after him. Tamara suddenly pulled to a stop and hid behind a large tree, hoping to jump out at Lilly as she raced by.

My eyes lit up as Tamara said the one think I was hoping to hear we could go explore now. I watched as Tamara made a small rear and ran off. I soon joined him in the mad race through the forest. Yet with my small legs I was not able to chatch up with the mighty stallion. And soon he dissappered. I went into a abrupt halt and looked around. I could see some hoof prints in the snow, but it was hard to tell if it was Tamara or not for the snow is slowly melting away.

"Tamara!" I shouted as I stood their quitely. "Tamara where did you go?" I then let out a small whinny as I continued to look around. I moved into a slowly trot up to a large tree not to far from where I was standing. "Tamara where are you." I said quitely to myself.

[Nickyxxx]

Tamara sensed Lilly was near. He heard her tiny whinny as she approached the tree he was standing quietly behind. All of a sudden he leaped out from behind that tree right in front of the foal. The stallion twisted his body around and galloped off futher. This was so much fun, Tamaracouldn't remember the last time he had enjoyed playing so much. He stopped suddenly and skidded quite away before he managed to regain his balance. He faced Lilly and began to prance on the spot, waiting for her to come and chase him.

My heart nearly stopped at the sight of the great white horse appering from behind a large tree. Tamara then turned and raced away. I then relized that Tamara was playing a game, I raced after Tamara. My little hooves fought hard to keep up with Tamara, but like before he was yards ahead of me. A rush of energy flowed through me making my pace much faster. Finally I made it to where Tamara had stopped. I lepted up on him and nibbled at his withers.

Who knew this strapping stallion would be as playful as a colt. I was so thankful that I found Tamara. It was hard to imagine what would happen if I had never met him. " I have had more fun in the past few days then in my whole life!" I said to Tamara happily.

[Nickyxxx]

Tamara laughed a loud booming laugh at the fun they were having. He let Lilly nibble at his withers while he asked, "Wow, am I really that fun to be around?" He smiled at her and raced towards a place where the trees thinned behind them. He slowed down to a trot at the large clearing that stood in front of him. It was a large meadow sheltered by the trees that hung over it. There was hardly much snow and small tufts of grass stuck out here and there. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees.

Tamara skipped to the middle and reared, legs thrasing around in the empty space in front of him. He returned to his standing position and began to prance on the spot, dancing. He wished Lilly would join him as he span around.

[>-{Apryl}->]

"You are!" I said with a giggle as Tamara sped ahead. I raced after him, only feet behind him. The trees began to dissaper behind us as we entered a new part of Tamara's land. Tamara slowed to a gracfully trot, as we went into the clearing. I was in awe at the beauty of such a simple place. Tamara then started to dance, which I couldn't help but giggle. I leaped up and joined him. I pranced about the place, giving playful kicks here and there. I watched Tamara dance, he moved with much joy.

Many creatures gathered to watch while the two horses danced side by side, rearing, prancing and kicking in a steady rhythm. Tamara smiled happily, his silver mane tickling his neck as he moved. Lilly seemed to be having the time of her life as they twisted and turned. Tamara couldn't think of a time where he had felt so happy. He was a fully matured stallion with his own beautiful land with a pretty foal dancing by his side. What wasn't there to enjoy? The dance slowed until it came to a full stop. Tamara lowered his nose to nudge Lilly gently. "I suppose we better go find somewhere to rest for the night," he suggested. He hadn't realised the sun had long gone and the silver blue moonlight of the moon reflected off their coats until now. He was getting tired and thought the filly must be too.

[>-{Apryl}->]

Our hooves rose and fell softly on the earth as we danced as one. I reared, and kicked and pranced about not really caring if anyone saw. Here and there I would brust out into fits of laughter as I danced with Tamara. He too seem over joyed. We danced the morning and evening away and soon the moon and stars become our audence.

[Nickyxxx]

As the sky began to darken, Tamara stopped his dancing reluctantly and dragged himself over to a tree where he plonked himself down, sitting dog-styled with his legs tucked neatly underneath him. He sighed with exhaustion and gazed up at the filly who still danced under the moon and stars that twinkled in time with her gentle beats to unheard music. "Come, Lilly. Let's rest until the sun meets us again in the morning," he said, now shifting his weight so he was lying flat out on the ground. There was no need for anyone to keep watch while the other slept as they were so well hidden deep into the forest.


OOC: How about we wrap up this thread with your post and I'll move them somewhere else soon?

I smiled at Tamara as he spoke. My now tired legs were able to carry me next to Tamara. Slowly I reached the ground and curled up with all of my hooves under me. "Good night." I said sweetly to Tamara. As Tamara went to sleep, I gazed up to the dark night sky. Millions of startswere sprinkled on the sky, sparkling likes tiny jewels. As I watched the sky, a shooting star flew past and as quick as the shooting start I closed my eyes to make a wish.

I opened my eyes and though to myself, I have everything I ever wanted here. With that I moved to my side just as Tamara, and went into a deep sleep.
