Boss's Decree

"For every brother you bring to our
midst, you may keep a trinket all to
yourself. She will not be sullied or traded, unless you deem otherwise. But should you bring a mare here without a new brother first, then I will consider her property of the Lagoon as a whole
and do with her as I see fit." - Garmr

The Offspring

None

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.

She can practically see the gears of confusion turning in Ernesto’s mind, lurking just behind his alert eyes. In all her years of observation, Selenium has seen the spectrum of attentiveness between families, so she knows that Ernesto is one of the better ones. As she watches him take in their daughter, she wonders what had made him decide to live among the bachelors rather than lead his own herd. In her (maybe biased) opinion, he’d be good at it.

The mare’s heart beats fast, her breath sticking in her throat, as she watches the stallion’s expression carefully. She has tried to beat back the panic that has been steadily rising since she’d shepherded the filly into the Lagoon. She expects any second that he will look at her in condemnation and demand to know why the child is so unresponsive.

Ernesto’s expression remains only curious, and yet it is not enough reassurance for Selenium to relax. Her large body is very tense, showing her anxiety. Don’t! she wants to shout at him as he offers his nose to Silicon, not wanting to see him be rejected as she has repeatedly been. The warning will not come and she can feel little cracks form in her heart as the foal shies away from her father.

Silicon’s black and white head turns away only slightly at first from the nose that invades her little bubble, but without warning she surges to her feet, too-long legs making her sway slightly, before she slinks around to her mother’s other side, out of immediate sight of both adults. She stands there for a moment in apparent contemplation before ducking under Selenium’s smoky flank, the white side of her face facing upward as she moves in for a snack.

Selenium cranes her head to eye her daughter for a moment before looking back at Ernesto. She swallows hard, hoping her voice won’t betray her. The stallion’s smile soothes her for a brief moment but she’s sure her distress is still obvious. She is so emotionally wrung out that she doubts that she could fool a stranger right now.

”Her birth was so easy, there was almost no pain,” she tells him, unable to manage more than a whisper. ”Physically, she’s perfect, but…” It seems almost cruel to put the words into the humid air but she has to be the one to say them. She swallows again. ”She’s…not right. She won’t make eye contact, she doesn’t speak, she doesn’t like to be touched.”

The dam finally breaks and a sob escapes. ”It’s my fault, I’m sorry.”
