Jegath watched the other males as they chose suitable females. Jegath noticed that many of them had other females in their terras. He did not have one for his beautiful home; Gemdas. He looked at the mares in sight, but just as he was about to approach them, he heard the stallion that spoke to them. Snorting, he ate lunch and began his search anew, looking farther down the river. That's when he saw her, a beautiful young mare, the one who must be his queen.

I stood, alone, tucked away in the corner of the woods. My small form shivered, it was cold. It was then I saw a stag, looking at me. I flicked my tail at my scarred pelt, my amber eyes flicking round, making sure I had an escape route if and when he approached.
I pricked my Auds, listening for any hint of intimidation. I wondered if the stallion was looking at me, I wanst really that pretty, a simple chestnut with black socks, nothing special. I scraped my hooves on the floor, leaving pale tracks in the earth, I kept my head fixed to the ground, not making eye contact with anyone.

Jegathema
Quietly and confidently Jegath pranced up to her, seeing her scrape the ground. "Hello, beautiful and glorious maiden." he said, arching his neck as he spoke. "May I ask what your name is, fairest?" he was careful as he approached, sensing a fear of him in her.

I flinched away form him as he pranced toward me, my ears flattening slightly. "My calling is Blaze" I said, I had never liked my name, it didnt suit me, blaze was a name for somone confident, full of life, that was exacly who I wasnt. I lifted my eyes slightly from the floor, not moving my head, and looked at him, my black forlock flopping into my eyes.

Jegathema
Seeing her flinch as he approached he politely backed a bit away. "Blaze... Blaze, a beautiful name for a beautiful mare." he said, looking at her lovingly. "But why do you flinch away from me?" he asked quietly, treading lightly, knowing that he might be on dangerous ground for galloping. "Have I offended you?"

I shook my head. "No, it wasnt you, I dont want to talk about it." I said, pointing my auds toward the stag. I didnt want to tell anyone, not until I knew them better. I threw a small smile at the stallion, my golden eyes lifting, Everyone said I had a beautiful smile, but I didnt belive them.

Jegathema
He did not pursue the matter, he was spell bound when she smile. Truely she must be his queen, the one and the only. "Please come away with me Blaze, you are the one I have looked for." he said, believing that his heart would break if she said no. He turned his auds to her, showing his eagerness. He loved the mare, she was all he had ever wanted in a mare.

I lifted my head, giving him a full dose of my smile. I nodded, agreeing to join him. I flicked my tail, as I always did, and said "You didnt tell me your name." My velvet tone drifted on the wind, carrying it further than it would have done without the wind. I blinked my large eyes, lashes touching my cheeks, and cocked my head slightly, waiting to see what this stag would say.

Jegathema
His heart soared in his chest, he felt as if he could fly like a unicorn as she accepted. "My name is Jegathema, but I am more often called Jegath or Jeg." he said in answer to her question, drinking in the radiance of her smile. He wished to take her to the breeding grounds but was unsure of how she would react. He remembered the way she had flinched when he had approached, and decided not to ask... Yet. He nuzzled her forehead gently, softly. "I love you Blaze."

Blaze
I flinched back from his touch. We had only just met and he was telling me he loved me. "Sorry..." I said, lowering my head once again, all confidence gone. I felt so stupid, the first time I met a stag in ages and I blow it. I stood beside him, I did like Jegath, but we had gone too quickly, for me anyway.

Jegathema
Feeling her flinch he backed up a step, realizing that he had gone too fast for her. "I'm sorry." he said, still beside her, but not touching her. I won't give up on her though, he thought to himself. I just need to give her some time I guess. He looked at her again, "I was excited to have someone like you as mine own." he said, trying to explain himself.

I nodded, and nuzzled his nape slightly, I did think this could go somwhere, but the whole *i love you* thing had freaked me out a bit, even though I was kinda thinking the same thing.

Gently and slowly he nuzzled her in return, stepping close once more. He knew that she was still nervous, but not as much as she had been before. "It's okay, I'd never hurt you." he whispered, feeling that it was the right thing to say. "Now, time is flying, and my land calls, so come with please." he added, eager to show Blaze his home.
