The two mares thought about the places that they were told about. ONe though liked the sound of the desert, the other liked the forest. For a moment they wandered a little way away, out fo earshot of the the three stallions. They talked for a moment amoung themselves in soft voices. "I like the desert," Alexa said. "Sand sounds like such a nice thing to run on." "But I like the forest," Alexya replied to her twin. "Be a lot cooler there." "Maybe we should split up?" Alexa said. "And see each other..." "From time to time."
They both turned to return to the three stallions. "We have..." "Made our..." "choices as to where..." "we shall go."
Alexa looked at Niagra and Xanerath. "We have also decided that we..." "shall split up, only that we request to be able to visit each other when ever we wish to," Alexya finished, her eyes on Gladiator.

Xanerath
The black stag nodded, smiling a bit. "Of course you may. Both I and Niagra allow those within our herds to go where they please, so long as we know about it. Otherwise we have a tendency to go off and try to find those whom we've lost, if only to make sure they're alright." he said, smiling at Niagra. Yes, they had both had losses in the past, and Niagra was still looking for the mare he first loved.
Niagra
"Aye, or we'll think the quicksands have swallowed you up. Not that that's ever happened. Pity though, you'd think the sands would be fair and swallow up Corus... Or maybe Therthis..." he laughed a bit, then turned some, his dark eyes fastened on Alexa. "Though that still leaves you with a choice. Do you wish to run with me, or with my king?" he hated offering such a choice to faes, especially one such as Alexa, but it was always a good idea to know. He waited, trepidation written across his playful face, as he looked between her, Alexya, and Xan.

Alexya She smiled as she listened to their voices speaking together. "Sadly things never do things the way everyone would like. I agree about the Corus and sad thing. I would like to know more about the pair of you before I choose."
She knew that they had to tell her if they wanted her. She would not force them of course. She just wanted to know aboutt he pair pair of them.

Xanerath
He shrugged, then began. "I came from across the sea, to the east, just ahead of my siblings. My half brother is Therthis, my half sister, Fire Fly. I was born to a mare with no name, a slave within my sire's herd. My sire is Red Death, a full hellion stag. When I came here, I claimed Red Sun as my own. Within time I found a queen, named Cloudy. we had a single filly, but they both disappeared, without a trace. Later, I chose another queen, named Bambala Cybele, who's thankfully stayed around." he paused, thinking of anything else to say. "I suppose I'm a fair stag, but I've never really known, as most don't care to tell me what they think of me. I have a soft spot for rabbits, and for some reason, deer intrigued me when I was younger."
The black stag smiled good-naturedly as Niagra laughed a bit at his last two statements. He couldn't explain it. Rabbits where fluffy and adorable, and deer were almost like horses.
Niagra
He grinned a bit, then began. "I'm the third heir of my sire's herd, and considered a complete good-for-nothing, happy-go-lucky waste of time and blood. I have no foals that I can trace to myself, and happen to apparently have a strange sense of humor. I've occasionally run headlong into a cactus due to the challenge of one of my brothers. I'm also said to be a complete flirt, but I have no idea why. Is this too long?
"Oh yeah, and I'm sometimes called Nia, which also happens to be the name of my half-niece on my half-sister's side." he finished, laughing some. He never took his descriptions of himself very seriously, but most of it was true. He didn't think himself to be as much of a waste of time as he once was, but that was more for others to judge.

She chuckled appreciatively about the deer and rabbits. they made sense in a way. "Ouch, about the catus," she commented though. She oculd only imagine that that was like. At least by splitting away from her sister they would get to know the real her. "Do you have any mares, Niagra?" she asked curiously. Could he be the one for her?

Niagra
He shook his head, then lowered it a bit. "I had had one, my queen. But she is gone. Where, I do not know. Then again, she was never one to stay long in any place. A bit like what I used t be before I guess." then he grinned again, shaking his head. "Cactus don't hurt much if you hit them right. My brothers stopped challenging me when I jumped over three of them in a row."

"Thats a trick I have not learnt yet. Where I came from, I was well know for running into things. Fences, cactus, tree sumps, I never managed to avoid hitting them. Those are but a few of the things I've run into."
Alexya laughed. "I'm the same at times, but not as bad."
Both smiled.

Niagra
"Well, it's just a matter of getting enough speed to do a quick gathering. Or just as you hit it, relax as much as you can without stopping so that any splinters or quills or needles don't go in as deep." he raised a hoof, which was over sized, massive and flattish-looking. "Plus these help, since I can usually hit most of whatever I'm aiming at with these as opposed to my chest."

Alexa smiled as she heard those words. "You have an advantage there, then, Niagra."
She smiled. Yet who to choose was still at best a mystery to her.
She really was not having the easiest of times.
"It seems a hard choice to make. I think maybe to figure out who I would want to be with permanantly it might be good for me if I came with both of you for the time being. Maybe after running with each of you for a time I will be able to decide. For right now I cannot choose between you both."

Niagra, Xanerath
The two looked at each other, then nodded. "Very well, Alex," they said together, smiling as their voices intermingled almost perfectly. "It is fair to us, and fair to you." they grinned, enjoying a bit of a joke together every once in a while, then nodded to her and turned east, towards their home, the desert...
