Description

:iconchevalin-wanderlust:

Soo, this only took two days |D I can honestly say IM proud of it (Well not the BG but the horses) and that I did so many! Although they're just busts, I would usually quit half way through anyway xD Sooo enjoy this lil' stare down


Story--



K A N U

Kanu and the other horses finally made it to the edge of the green, where the beach started and the many horses were standing. So far it was silent, there was no blood shed, which Kanu couldn't help but sigh a relief for. He lowered his head, getting into leader mode. He hadn't really been in full leader mode- he had been in soldier mode, survival mode. But now it was time, the time he had been dreading but anticipating for many weeks- even months.

He lifted his head again, now ready to step out and reason with this blind sighted stallion. He had already been informed that it was not Klaus, but Vladek instead. So this was no shock, but these bachelors were foolish to follow a leader who is not truly their leader. And only a substitute.

As hoof met sand, the tensions rose, Matthew and Alduin were right by his sides, and the rest lined up much the same, despite being weak and exhausted, they looked the part of strong, determined horses who needed this more than anything. He met with Baene and Rambriel before subtly asking if they were ok, with merely a nod. 

”Vladek, I am Kanu- Leader of the exiles. I hear you've gotten started without us.” He said, not taking his eyes off the stallion. He knew they were outnumbered, but he also knew there was a low chance this would end in a fight. Which was the only way he could speak so openly. He knew his herd members would do him proud, they already had thus far. It just made him all the more proud to be an Exile.


Vladek


    As more and more horses began to show up from the exile's side - the stallion felt a pressure weighing in on him. Should he offer these horse's shelter? Or should he turn his back to them and send them to fend for themselves on their own island? Surely if they had survived this long the land could sustain them. With the winter months rolling in - the rain would begin to bring their home back to its former glory. If he did offer them some sort of sanctuary- how long would be too long? Or how long would be enough? When the leader finally decided to show it's face, he approached slowly. 


    "Well, it was you I was waiting on" His eye twitched gently. What did this stallion mean? Had he not sent out his own horses to scout in find him? What exactly had they started. Immediately it put a bad feeling in his chest. If Vladek did not like this stallion, surely Klaus would like him less. " I understand you seek shelter here... How many are you strong?" Ten horses he could feed and shelter, watch over. More than that was iffy - more than that and the exiles would have to offer them something in return. There were already six or seven of them here. He eyed the mares that had joined them. Perhaps they'd be willing to haggle a few mares for the safety of their herd. That would make even Klaus happy to give refuge for a few members of another herd.
