Hundreds of trees, of all shapes and sizes, make up Novalee Forest. The bulk of the territory lies in the tree-strewn hills, nestled between the cliffs of Paduan and the Rushing Rivers. Water and food are both ample in these parts, and in the daytime, the lands remain fairly safe. The shelter of trees will provide a good place for raising young ones, and will comfortably hold a small herd.

Warnings: Wolves and bears roam the forest, particularly at night, so take caution.

I looked around the place that i had come to know as home, it had been almost a week now that i had returned to this land, not in my dreams did i think two days ago that i would be sitting here owning my own land within these parts, a few weeks ago that was all just a far fetched dream, and here i was starting a new life and a fresh start. Though i must admit, i did miss having my family around, the mares that i had come to know as a part of my life, the mares that had brought me up after my mother left still roamed alongside my fathers side, everyone knew everyone back at home, here it was like a whole new ballgame, i knew very few, and had very few contacts in general, but soon i hoped that i would be able to settle down, and perhaps start a family of my own, though all in good time, i still was not ready to just rush into parenthood. quickly i snapped back to reality when it had dawned on Chicago, after a delayed reaction, that i was standing at her side, her reaction came as some of a shock, but at the same time was expected, but what happened next certainly was not expected. A sharp tone released from her lungs pierced my ears, before she hurdled to the ground, instantly i jolted forward and headed over to her, i looked at her with concern, she must of hurt herself, she certainly had not taken a pleasant landing. She tried to get to her feet, but you could see that it was not about to be an easy task, first off i let her try, as i know sometimes when in pain you don't want to be supported as it just makes the situation all the worse, i knew she had the strength and motivation that she needed to get back up into the air, the thing i was worried about it what damage she had actually done, and whether she had hurt herself anywhere else. Then the look that set upon her face as i seen a rather unusual look within her eye, and instantly she grew defensive, like i was about to hurt her, and shut down completely to me, until that was she worked out who i was exactly. Another expression shot across her features shortly after, her eyes widened and she layed there somewhat stunned, like she was cursing herself within her glare, i smiled silently, hoping that maybe that was the reaction of noticing it was me and not just some stranger, but probably more than confused as to what i was doing here, never mind herself. Then with a streak of a call filled with pain she tried to gather to her hooves again, but i could clearly see that it was not going to happen, and she was to fall again back into the snow with another thud to the side, moving forward towards her i placed my skull behind her for some support, my maw leaning against the ridge of her spine, i moved with her, only to come backwards with her also as she made her way back into the clutches of the snow, staying there for a moment i listened to her breathing, still waiting for any sign of greeting, or answer that she was ok, or maybe an explanation as to how she had fallen to the ground in the first place. Quickly her gaze shot away from me, she was for sure a bag of emotions, i wasn't expecting that was for sure, but none the less i liked this lass, she was funny on times, and had been nothing but polite to me so far, it was just a shame that the events had turned out the way they had, but either way, in my opinion it was better for me to know now rather than later, don't you agree?.

Suddenly her voice rang quietly through our surroundings, i looked at her somewhat wide eyed, before tilting my head to the side when she had finished and continued on to speak once again, "You are trying to explore ... hmm in unknown territories where you could get raped or hurt within the blink of an eye, come on Chicago your life ain't that bad that you have to lower yourself to not caring about your future, or caring about how much more you could be hurting right now if i was a threat to you. Luckily for you i ain't, i couldn't hurt you even if i wanted too, you.." i paused for a moment, "Your." again i found it hard to say what i wanted to say "Your just, important to me ok, you cannot do this again, i don't want to see you hurt, and if you don't want to see another side to me then you wont do it again, please Chicago, just don't make me kill someone for hurting you." my eyes bluntenned at i said the last part, you could see that i was deadly serious about what i said, i did not want to see her get hurt. Sighing i breathed for a moment to calm myself, before i answered her other question, i looked to her, and rocked backwards gently on my haunches, "This is my Home Chicago, and your not looking very fine to me, now lets get you up out of that snow before you fall ill." placing a little bit of strain against her to get her motivated to move, finally she fought to get to her feet again, and though it was a wobbly one she managed to stand, swaying a little but gathering herself. She tried desperately to avoid my gaze, i wondered whether it was because she had fallen, or because of what had happened the other day at the Vista's, she had nothing to be ashamed of, but i understood how it would of felt if it was the other way around and i was in her posisiton, though it hurt me to see her avoiding me like this. She seemed to be very distant in thought, like she was analyzing something, when i noticed her skull start to lift and her eyes finally setting upon me, there was silence that seemed to had lasted hours, i looked at her somewhat confused, and at the same time searching for something to say to reassure her, but nothing was coming, and my mind truly hated me at this moment in time, as it was not helping the situation. I watched in silence as her head bobbed with with no enthusiasm, soon followed by words that got a rapid response from my part, "Wait, don't leave, stay with me for a while, i could do with some friendly company?" i looked at her expectantly, she needed to rest that leg anyways, "And then i will walk you home when your ready, and i will walk behind you if you don't want to be seen with me, but i just want to know your home safe." my eyes fell the the snow kissed ground beneath us, i stood there for a moment and just watched as the air flowing from my lungs turned to ice as it left my body, floating away blissfully it seemed. my skull soon rose as i caught more words, this time they were very quiet, and i found it almost difficult to hear, but i caught what she was saying, and though it brought some surprise to my features, it both annoyed me and upset me at the same time, "Chicago, you are not a bad person, some bad shit has happened to you but you are not a bad person, your only not worth anything in your opinion, it is a whole different prospective from mine." i looked at her surely and sternly, before continuing, now this was the part that really caught my attention, "Im not speaking to Sphere though am i, i am speaking with you. Yes i enjoy all of your company, but sometimes one at a time is enough for me, and at the moment i would like to clear things up with you, and maybe get to know you a little better also." i was not sure really what to say, she seemed to be having severe mood swings, and there had to be a reason for that obviously, but i did not want to be told what i should go and do, when i knew quiet well what i wanted and needed to do. I watched in silence as she turned away from me yet again, this time like she was trying to hide something, i sure hoped that she was ok, and that soon she would be back to her happy self, like the mare i had meet that day in the Vista's, but if i remember correctly even back then she was timid, and a little edgy, which at the time i found cute.
