In the shadows of two of the tallest peaks in the mountain range, rests the land known as the Forbidden Dale. The forested path that winds down out of the mountains is steep and treacherous to those who do not know it's dangers. The mountains meld into rolling foothills - filled with broad gentle slopes, long narrow ridges, and miniature valleys. Vegetation of all sorts is abundant and the runoff of all the surrounding hills funnels into a long, narrow lake in one of the largest valleys. Beyond the undulating and green foothills resides a dark and deep forest; the trees are so dense that it is dim even in the light of day.

❀Hanging on, love's poor grip, so it ends, no clarity❀
Posted on March 21, 2017 at 02:07:42 AM by ❀ Melia ❀


With how little experience Melia had in this world, it wasn’t her place to say for sure how bad this winter was compared to others, but it did seem noticeably cooler and less forgiving than last year’s. It must have been especially hard on her mother, seeing how tired the yearling recalled her becoming in winter’s chill. Truly, the white-frosted buckskin was lucky not to have her mother’s curse of falling lethargic in the colder months.

Back to the present issue though, the crossbreed propelled herself fairly swiftly through the snow, the heaviness in bone and muscles beginning to define more, though touched heavily with wild Spanish blood and traits of the forest itself. Navigating the paths that twisted through the trees was nearly second-nature to the girl, even though she wasn’t yet two years old!

However, as Melia began to near the source of the scent, although there definitely were wolves somewhere, a more pressing scent found its way to her nares upon the chilled blusters: a foreign stallion. The young equine slid to a halt, rotating audits to see if she was close enough to catch a sound, but all that was received was the frigid zephyrs. Though unpleasant for the ears, the winds carried the intruder’s musk to her.

The interloper was near.

There were two options: run and find her father or his beta, or size up this stallion for herself. The answer was obvious. There was no need to bother her father at this moment, the pangre warlord was surely attending to important matters of his own, and she wanted to prove her worth to him. Besides, he was in her forest! It was her duty to defend it.

A stealthy approach was necessary to look over this trespasser and see what actions should be taken. Melia took high, careful steps to try to avoid making as much sound as possible. In time, she could see this unwelcome guest for herself. He looked remarkably similar to her father, save for the obsidian-like blade held proudly upon his forehead. He was older than her, therefore more developed, and that faintly glowing edge on his head looked like it could do serious damage if he wished it.

Melia would obviously hold a lower position in a combat scenario, but based on the way this man walked through her forest, he did not seem hostile, but if he was anything like Rhaego, that could change in moments. The girl remained stone-faced in her observations and calculations, in the end making the decision to step out from behind the great oak trunk she had hidden behind as she made her evaluation.

As the varnish roan buckskin stepped out into the open, she offered a cautious greeting from her throat, allowing this stallion to know of her presence, but giving a well-balanced posture with her chest puffed out slightly. Her ears were still forward and she gave no hostile signs through her body, but this stallion should know that if things started to go downhill, she would not hesitate to find a way to bring a swift reprimand, whether with her own body or by calling for her father.

It must have been a strange (yet amusing) sight to see a not-yet-two-year-old filly having a look implying that she was not afraid to take control of this situation and that she must have planned decently far ahead for if things did go poorly. She would watch this stallion as long as he was here… she was the forest guardian, and she would ensure that she lived up to her family’s blood.
