-BRIGHT FIELD HERD


The herd stalks within the green fields and forests of Ireland known for its natural beauty, Bright Field Herd has there own territory, and within the borders lays a forest, a large field, and a small river known as "Stonybrook Edge" They are neighbored by the Sunset Trotters and South Creek, The only known predators of the horses are Bulls, Jellyfish, Brown bears, Wolves, And Golden eagles. Foals are to be supervised at all times due to incidents in the past.

The herd is currently west of the main point of their territory, They are grazing near a small pond known as "Finch Pond" named after its popularity amongst finches, The herd recently recovered from the loss of a foal due to a surprise attack and the tension is high. The season is summer and fall is on the rise as there are chilly winds every- now and then.

He looked down over the herd below. Quietly grazing as was their way. He breathed the air carefully checking for scents upon the wind. His ears stood tall and forward as he listened for sounds of predators or another stallion who also looked on this herd. Was he the only one? Did they have a stallion to lead and protect them?

He couldn't approach with any surety until he knew. He was young and not quite at the prime of his life. A Stallion with more experience and power could make quick work of him and he didn't want to feel the hurt of damaging hooves this day.

Any who looked toward him would have to look closely to make out his jet black figure as he had chosen to stand amongst a cluster of rocks atop the hill overlooking the meadow. He would fade into the shadow they cast if he stood still enough, but he knew movement would give his presence away.

His hide was jet black, and blended easily into the shadows, he had this advantage over some other of his kind who's bright colors would call attention to them instead. There was no marks upon his body, no white splashes to break up the darkness. So he had been given the name Raven, for he was swift like a bird and black as his name sake.

Tired now of all this waiting, he stepped out from his cover and made his way down the hillside, his tail held high he bugled his greeting and waited wondering who would answer.

Calypso| LM | M: Luna, Raven,

She laid her head in the grass for a few moments, Letting the cool air whip around and embracing her surroundings. She raised her head turning her attention to the herd. Something's Happening. Calypso's glare seemed to turn cold as she now was aware of what was going on, Were they really going to get into a tussle? If she had caught attention earlier maybe she'd known who to threaten, But from the looks of it..Well in her point of view, Raven was very clear about their current state, And Luna seemed agitated and unsure of being able to trust.

Calypso raised from the ground, The grass she was laying on seemed to be flattened along with traces of flowers and petals. She was watching them very carefully, Yet she couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed that she didn't catch onto this earlier, To make sure that they were aware she was present and watching she pressed her hooves hard into the ground as if stomping. She only did this to make noise so the two would notice she was there, Hopefully, the sight of their Lead Mare would prevent a fight.

Calypso silently wished that she had recruited a Lead stallion, She did admit quietly to herself that Leading a herd by herself was tough, Watching for predators, breaking up small arguments or even fights, It was pretty hard to keep up with. What bothered her the most was her self conscious, She was a bit unsure if her herd respected her enough to listen to her even through the harsh conditions, But She had faith.

She made her message clear by flattening her ears against her neck threateningly, Calypso was becoming agitated as she kept overthinking the situation. The mare seemed ready to defend herself if the stallion decided to attack, Which she respected as self-defense was something you'd need to know if you were living in a herd with Stallions. Calypso was still unaware if Raven's greeting was aggressive or friendly, looking just trying to make conversation, But the current situation would stand unclear to her as she watched.

His wide, dark eyes took in all that happened, he watched the mare who shied away, saw the others grazing, the foals playing, and another coming back from the direction of the river. But his attention then focused on the mare that was approaching him. He nickered a greeting, trying his best to sound friendly and unthreatening. He wasn't here to cause trouble, he just wanted to make friends, perhaps find a herd, that he could call HIS.

The mare's reaction to him however surprised him. Her ears lay flat a clear sign that she was displeased and she stomped her hoof. He stopped where he was, his muscles tight as the tension filled the space between them. He arched his neck, reaching out his muzzle to test the waters. His ears flicked forward and to the side, listening to the other mares. His attention drifted toward the others momentarily.

He was committed now, he had to see how she would react. "...Hello?" He seemed to say. The breeze was cool and the sun bright, by all accounts it was a beautiful day, but it did nothing to calm his nerves. Would she accept him enough to respond? or would she drive him away with teeth and hooves? It was clear the other mares expected her to do something here. What happened next was up to her.
