His name was Tharon and he was the lead stag of Bloody Axe River. I was three at the time and he found me in the claiming grounds. In 13 days he asked me to be his mate (ironically I had the number 13 freeze branded on mu left collar bone from my few months as a stable horse). I said yes and bore him a daughter who we named Excalibur. 13 days after her birth another stag who was in the herd and lived in the shadows named black light challenged him for me. He wanted me to bear him a child because even at such a young age of 1 days she could easily keep up with the herd and in sparing matches against her father could hold her own.
I watched my mate and my love die before me staring into my eyes before his skull was crushed. The dark grey stag approched me with a wickid grin but turned and tryed to striked Excalibur. I kicked him hard in the ribs cracking bones. His squeel of pain echoed as my daughter adn i fled with the herd following close behind not wanting to be lead by the demon who had killed their lead.
I appointed the beta's as the new lead and everyone was happy yet sad. They were loosing their old lead mare because the herd only brought sad memories adn I didn't want my daughter to grow up in a herd where her father had been killed. So I left once again leaving the herd to fend for itself. they were strong and I knew they would be fine...
The black mare shook her head eyes sad her daughter looking up at her with concerned eyes.
Excalibur... Honey I told you to not mention your father
She sighed adn lowered her head nuzzling her now four month old daughter. She looked annoyed but her mother smiled slightly before turning and continuing down the forest trail. Shear Saton was her name but everyone knew her as Saton. Her daughter adn the freeze brand on her collar bone were always nagging reminders of her darkened past.
Her face hardened and her eyes narrowed as they walked into the sun. But she smirked as she herd Excaluiber hiss as if the sun was melting her flesh. Her heart was frozen and she had promised herself she would never love again. That much was true. But the claiming grounds brought back good memories...
She reared whinnying shrillyly for anyone around. Anything living. she was never along her daughter was always with her. She smiled as she saw Excalibur copy her befor both thundered to the ground. Her daughter was growing daily into a beautiful young lady...
((Wen I'm posting with her... She has aot of flashbacks so strike though is memories...))
