The Rules
  • There will be no fraternizing with enemies. If you put yourself knowingly in danger, don't expect a rescue.
  • We are only as strong as our weakest link. See to it that you are getting stronger in some skill that is useful, whether it is battling, recruiting, charming, etc.
  • The King and Queen have final say in all matters.

He felt good after meeting the silver bay stallion on his own turf and beating him one-on-one. Rougaru was not someone he considered an enemy, but the stallion seemed to be a constant pest, like a piece of gravel in his hoof. He'd thought they would never run into each other again after that first encounter in the Common with Leonid. The mare taught him a lesson he would never soon forget: force a mare anywhere and you'll get more trouble than it's worth. The mare avoided him and the herd then tried to escape, the first chance she got. She didn't even give him or his herd a chance to welcome so he came after her just to tell her she could leave if that's what she really wanted, that she didn't deserve the chance to be in his herd. That was before Cain was changed, of course, but he was well on the way and he'd only grown since then.

He found it ironic that last time they met, he was the brute who wanted to bully a mare into doing what he wanted and yet this last time, the tables were turned. He told the pretty silver blue mare that she was in the Common and he could escort her somewhere else then Rougaru swept in and force claimed her, same as Cain had done to Leonid. His heart had gone out to the pretty mare and he hated watching her try to fight back, not wanting to go quietly. It only made him like her more. She had such fire, such passion for her own freedom. He wanted to help her win it back more than anything. He had jumped in, trying to distract Rougaru so she could flee but she'd ended up in paradise anyway. From there, things went downhil for him for a while but luckily, it was getting better, now. He came back only to find out he'd been gone too long and lost the desert in his absence. Galexia took over for a while, but she realized she didn't want to be a leader so she gave the herd lands back to him. In the end, everything had worked itself out, but he learned to be more present in his herd.

Now things had come full circle because he found out the mare was still hostage in Rougaru's herd and he went to challenge for her freedom. After winning the challenge, he told her she was welcome in the desert or could go somewhere else entirely if that's what she wanted. Her future was finally her own. Feeling he did what he had set out to do, the tobiano stallion headed back to the desert to clean his wounds. He hadn't expected her to follow him, at least not so quickly. He finished soaking in the salt water and was shaking out his coat when he caught the familiar smell on the air. His head went up and his nostrils flared. He was sure he was dreaming at first, but when he turned his head, he saw the roan mare right as she threw up her head and let out a call. For him.

Cain couldn't help the way his heart leapt in his chest at the expectant tone in her voice. She wanted to see him. His lips tugged into a smile as he tossed his head and gave an answering call to let her know he was coming before he took off in a ground eating trot. The wet sand sucked at his large hooves as he made his way toward her but he slowed down to a walk again as he got closer. Not wanting to crowd her, he stopped a few feet away and dipped his head in greeting, his brown eyes soft and warm as he pricked his ears. "Hello, again. I didn't expect to see you again, so soon. Not that I'm complaining." He added with another smile. "This is my home. It's no Paradise....but no one gets held here against their will." He looked around, knowing the endless sand and sun wasn't everyone's cup of tea. It had its own beauty in his eyes though.
