Force-claiming is allowed here once a week per character, as is blocking force-claims by the Peak/Lagoon (as a whole) once a week. Rollover is on Sundays.
The fear of the young stallion was not a concern as she places her claim on his hide. She didn’t stop long enough to gauge the look on his face as he calls for help. Her mind was on one thing – finding more bodies to warm her home. She needs more comfort, more friends, more lovers, and more muscle to keep intruders off her land. Her small herd was already becoming a target to strangers as a mare had tried to take the Inlet form her last month. She couldn’t keep fighting like this and risk the life of her baby. A larger herd would surely lower the chances someone mistook her home as empty. OR keep those who questioned her ability to lead at bay…suddenly she notices the strange look in the stallion’s eyes. There was a longing there, his in eyes, that stuck in her heart. She knew this feeling all too well.
But she kept her face smiling so that he wouldn’t see.
”I’m Kuba,” he says, but before he could say any more they were interrupted. Another young stallion slides himself beside Kuba, but he was anything but friendly. Parvati recognizes him from the Cove strolling along with his mother, but she had never met him personally. The look on his face told her this wouldn’t be a nice meeting, nor did he act like he knew who she was. The smile on her lips fades as her ears lean back in annoyance. He clearly was here to sabotage her claiming of Kuba with his little jab. Parvati’s eyes narrow as he asks with ails Kuba, but to her surprise the ebony stallion begins to spout all his problems. She had no idea the stallion was so lost, searching for his father, and home sick. She began to think of Arneis of his longing for his mother…and how she had failed him in finding her.
The sadness that flows to her eyes was nothing compared to what she was about to feel as the other figure approaches. Orphiel nulls her claim to Kuba as if she was some monster. Shock fills her eyes as her mouth drops open. His eyes were so different now. Not the kind, sweet, Orphiel she once knew that would be so happy to see her. After the last time they spotted each other in the Lagoon she should have known this would happen. He hates her. He explains to Kuba what he was before his cold gaze returns to her. She gasps at his words. The Lagoon tried to take Arneis from her and now he claims to be one of them. Tears swell in her eyes as Kuba pleads with the stallions to save him. Save him from her. Her hoof stomps the frozen earth.
“Trouble with ‘us’?” She was appalled he would even lump himself together with the likes of the Lagoon. Tears begin to streak down her painted cheeks as she stomps her hoof again. ”And you! Does my father know you’re out here roaming the commons like this?” Just wait till she told him one of his ‘sons’ were bothering his special Princess. Though she knows this creamy stallion was not of her blood she knew her father would have raised him as such. But he was not the cause of her tears…she jerks her eyes back to Orphiel. “You spit words against me when it was you who abandoned me and our daughter for the Lagoon,” she scowls.
She does her best to hold back the rest of her tears in order to give this newcomer a warning of her own. He didn’t have to believe her, but depending on the path he chooses next they may meet again. “Kuba,” She turns to the ebony stallion with the odd shaped nose. “If you don’t want to be forced to someone’s home you best get out of here. If not me another will come for you like the members of the Lagoon,” she shoots her ex-lover a glare. “And you don’t want to be grouped with the likes of them.” She gives Marik a quick glance, wishing to know why he seems to cold now, but she couldn’t stay here any longer to find out. The young girl turns and gallops back towards the sea. The ocean would hide her tears and the waves would swallow her screams.
