It was soon after he brought home with new member that he slips back towards the commons.
More where that came from, he thinks as he makes the quick journey from the Lagoon. He was determined to quickly rebuild his numbers and show the Peak they were still a foreboding force. After that, he would get his old brethren back and defeat the current structure of the mare band. He would defeat them all and chase them off the mountains. Cullen has thought about this a lot lately as his body heals. The wounds from the war were mostly gone now except for the reminder scars, but he felt like a new stallion again. Victory was fresh in his mind as he thinks about his captives back home.
Then he spies her in the distance. A slim figured mare, pure as snow, laying against a bed of seaweed. She looked like a mess, but he didn’t care as long as it was her.
Lilithiya!” He shouts her name as his legs gallop towards her. One ear flick shows she was listening, but his old lover doesn’t look his way.
”What in the hell is wrong with you?” He shouts at her as his pulls around her frame to see her face. Shock washes over him and he quickly pulls back from the mare.
”You are not her…” The words settle between them in a whisper of disappointment.
Even though he had planned to drag Lili back to the Lagoon to punish her for her betrayal he still wishes this had truly been her. But it wasn’t. Cullen snorts, raising his head high like a man with power. He studies the difference in her features, though there weren’t many. Her eyes had speckles of color around them that Lili did not have. This mare’s legs were a big longer too and she was much younger. Still, her body type was so similar so they must be of the same breeding.
”Girl tell me something,” he demands.
”Is Lilithiya the name of your mother?” It had to be. No one could look this close to her and not be related. Damn that mare’s betrayal!
