Rules � The Lagoon is where homeless stallions come to live as a brotherhood. Mares may not live here except as captives or companions for the Leaders. � Soldiers keep mainly to fighting, Thieves keep mainly to raiding, and Associates may do both, neither, or act as diplomats. Members may issue their own battles and raids, but should generally consult the General, Marauder or Boss for permission. � All major decisions are determined by vote, but the Boss maintains order within the Lagoon and has the final say. � Elections for leadership positions will be held every TLI summer, provided the qualifying criteria are met. � You can find detailed information about how the Lagoon works on the Rules page. � Upon election, the Boss can issue a rule for members to follow during their tenure. It is up to leadership to enforce.

With the dam broken, Selenium can only partially control herself. There is no second outburst, but tears drip down her white face. As Ernesto moves closer, she turns to press her face against his neck, an unusual move for a mare who has never had any strong social ties. Now it appears she has two, however much the younger one may not want it.

Still distraught, the mare sniffles and cranes her head again to check on her daughter, who is suckling away, paying no attention to her parents. Silicon is such a beautiful little thing with such unique markings that it makes her mother despair over her prospects for the future. What would happen if the filly were ever allowed out into the world on her own? Surely she would meet nothing but danger and an early grave.

That last thought startles her with the morbidity of it and she shakes herself out of the downward spiral. There�s nothing to indicate that Silicon won�t snap out of whatever has caused her to be so antisocial. But wouldn�t she normally develop that later in life rather than beginning with it? a nasty little voice contradicts her attempt to be hopeful.

Her spirits sinking again at the life she�s damned her firstborn to, she tries to focus on Ernesto�s words, letting them echo in her ears and bounce around her brain. �Different, yes,� she gasps, clinging onto that word like it will help Silicon. Still, despite the stallion�s reassurance, she knows it�s her fault.

Her gaze follows her daughter as Silicon finishes her meal and looks around, obviously deciding what to do next. Selenium prays that the foal will suddenly begin acting normally, though judging by the blank look in Silicon�s two-toned eyes, it�s a futile hope.

The filly toddles over to a bush next to the lagoon�s waterline, unaware of her mother watching her like a hawk. Ever so gently, she lowers her black and white face toward it, tiny nostrils flaring. She doesn�t quite manage to touch the leaves with her nose before plopping down right there, curling up and closing her eyes again, in the exact position she�d been when Ernesto had found them, only now lying five feet away.

Selenium looks back at Ernesto, her expression hopeless. She doesn�t want to burden him with an abnormal child, yet she isn�t sure she can handle their daughter on her own.
