  • 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 couldn't stop watching his mares as they grazed peacefully in the herdlands, their growing foals at their sides. His sons and daughter were growing strong and independent, every bit what he imagined when he thought of his future children. Legolas and Akello were sturdy and outgoing. He'd seen them sparring together and getting into trouble and it made him proud. Then he saw Akello being gentle with his half sister, Paisley, every bit the protective brother and future defender he could be. It was amazing to watch and he couldn't get enough of it. So far only two of his mares wanted foals from him this season but that was okay. There would be plenty of time and he was sure mares liked breaks from carrying foals sometimes. There would be no more forcing. There was no rush, after all.

The first mare to come at his call was Geneva and his expression softened to see the worry on her pretty features. She was a great mother to Legolas and every bit the mother hen of the herd. At least, that was his impression. She never hesitated to reach out to anyone and he saw her trying to gather the mares on more than one occasion, to bring them all closer and make them feel more like a herd. She radiated warmth and yet had a solid strength that he could fall back on should he need it. She was every bit his anchor in the Desert. At her question, he snorted softly and nodded as he reached out to lip affectionately at her mane. "I'm fine, Geneva. Nothing some time won't fix." His eyes twinkled with amusement as she looked him over before she moved to groom him. A soft groan of pleasure left his lips as he leaned into her teeth, enjoying the feeling on his tight, sore muscles before he moved to return the favor.

His gaze wandered to the mare following in Geneva's wake, a bit of surprise crossing his features when he saw Zubeia. Though she was kind in nature and he had no reason to doubt she cared about his wellbeing, he just hadn't had a lot of time with her yet to build a relationship and find out more about her. He knew that she was once heir to a herd, a princess, and that she'd run away when her herd and parents were attacked. They might be dead, and yet she still stood firm and strong against the odds. He couldn't fathom the determination it took her to turn her back and come with him to the Desert when he offered to take her back to see what happened to her parents. She chose to look ahead instead of looking back on what could be. He admired that about her. When she'd approached him for a foal this season, he was a little surprised, but he'd acquiesed.

He had to admit, he was a little worried about her much shorter stature, though she was almost as sturdy. He was exceedingly gentle and tried to hold most of the weight on his own haunches, not wanting to hurt her. Still, she voiced no complaints and he couldn't wait to see what kind of child they could produce. Zubeia moved to the water to drink and Cain nickered to her softly in greeting, hoping she was doing well. Then his gaze found his son and he smiled, adoration and pride obvious in his dark brown eyes as he looked over Legolas. He was growing so fast. Cain couldn't wait to see the kind of stallion he was going to be some day. Legolas looked curious so Cain lowered his head toward him. "Feel free to check out my wounds, son. Some day you'll carry your own proudly. This is the mark of a true stallion. These show your determination to protect your herd and your family."
