Rules � The Vulcan Peak is where homeless mares come to live as a sisterhood. Stallions may not live here except as captives or companions for the Leaders. � Warriors keep mainly to fighting, Thinkers keep mainly to raiding, and Politicians may do both, neither, or act as diplomats. Members may issue their own battles and raids, but should generally consult the General, Codebreaker or Prime Minister for permission. � All major decisions are determined by vote, but the Prime Minister maintains order within the Peak 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 Peak works on the Rules page.

Like a frightened fawn, Oswald froze completely as he heard the commotion of splashes and retreat ahead. His sightless eyes blinked and he frowned, ears twitching to try and hear more. Had she meant to splash in the water and away from him? Was that an accident? Was she hurt?

Oswald didn�t hear her make any sound of pain, and could still hear her breathing and knew she was there. He felt suddenly quite awkward and considered pulling his large hooves back to retreat the other way. Was this not the horse he�d heard laughing? Just as he lifted one front hoof and took a careful step back, a voice came out from vaguely somewhere in front of him, just across the babbling creek current and told him he could stay. Well, sort of. But Oswald was too young to catch (or worry) about the hesitance and question in the mare�s voice. He was used to being able to go anywhere and do anything on the Peak. The idea someone wouldn�t want his company never once crossed his mind.

There was a little more stretch of silence. He hadn�t heard her leave, so he didn�t understand why she wasn�t saying anything. Oswald�s frown deepened and he lifted his nose into the air, sniffing curiously. Nope, she hadn�t left. He could still smell her there.

Just before he piped up again, she spoke and told him she was Hollis and asked what his name was. Oswald sighed out almost with relief, feeling like he ought to duck his head bashfully as he pointed his face in her direction. �I�m Oswald,� he explained, slowly lifting up his white face and giving her a lop-sided smile. �I�m Oswin�s son.� He hesitated for a moment and then added for explanation, �I heard you laughing and it sounded like you were having fun. Sorry um, if you wanted to have fun by yourself though.�
