Red Death
The painted stallion sighed a bit, then turned to those who stood, including the young fae. "Well, always something going on here at least... I'll be going, young ones. Maybe Omera knows of a good place to stay for a bit..." he said with a slight smile. The two would be staying someplace for a bit, and he knew where, of course, but it was best to not tell Therthis that. The young rascal was getting ideas into his head that he should be their only son.
Silly boy.
Xanerath
The green-eyed king nodded as his father passed him, walking away from them all. He hadn't come to claim mares, which surprised him, but then again, the king of the desert sands had never truly understood his father very well...

erosaf sighed, knowing that she had to keep him in her sight from now on. he would never dare to hurt her nor, Spyro. She touched her son with her own horn and his wings appeared. The leapt into the air, and as they soared about Amani she laughed as she called, "You hide, Amani. You're going to the Gemdas, you can't hide your mind from me. Where you go, I will be!"
Thowra watched as things finally finished, though he knew it would be odd that he had moved to stop Amani from hurting The Brolga. The grey stallion seemed shocked as he was in mind. "This changes nothing between us, Thowra," The Brolga smirked. Thowra sighed. "Didn't expect it to, Brolga."

ooc ;; aahh i have missed so much! Many stallions had turned up. She did not bother keeping track of their names, that would come in time. Her deep brown eyes wandered their faces, their bodies, taking in their different colors and shapes, muscles and horns. It was almost like a buffet. Caligo smiled to herself. However, her merry thoughts were snapped away as a diseased stallion approached them. He wreaked of rabies and the foam from his mouth told no lies. As he lunged at her, the disease must have made his reactions slow for she was easily side-stepped his advance as another stallion fell from the sky to block the attack.
It was raining stallions! She thought sarcastically to herself as she danced in place on her nimble legs. As they began to trail off in to their own conversations, Caligo cleared her throat rather noisily and tossed her head, removing her forelock from blocking her dark brown eyes. "My name is Caligo." She stated simply, looking from one stallion to the next. She was really not sure what to say next. "What a wonderful way to start introductions," she commented rather dryly, referring to the crazed stallion and the bickering going on amongst them. The beautiful mare snorted, wondering who would be daring enough to speak first.

Thowra had stood back while the others chased Amani off. He had no interest in hurting the other stallion. That was not the way he was really. He would only attack had Amani managed to bite the mare that was here.
"Greetings Caligo. I am Thowra of Snowy River Forest." There was no sign of him in the fighting, though seeing Erosaf like that had surprised him. Amani would be dealt with later though.

Therthis
The black unicorn hellion cross smiled at the young grey fae. "And, as I had said, I am Therthis, of Red Sun, the desert terra." he bowed to her, his horn glowing brighter. He was tempted to send up a small spark into the trees, to see what form of fruit or other plant would grow there. It was strange, but he had inherited many talents from his mixture of blood.
Xanerath
The green-eyed stag bowed as well to Caligo. "Greetings, Caligo. I am Xanerath, king of Red Sun."

Caligo looked between the stallions, mainly focusing on the ones who had spoken their names and their lands. Snowy River Forest? Sounded rather...cold. The beautiful mare shrugged to herself. Oh well, could be worth a shot. And two stallions from the same terra? How odd this land truly was... Snorting a bit, though, she realized they had said desert. Hmm, she had always enjoyed the heat.
Her dark brown eyes rested on the stallion who had not spoken again. The Brolga? Had he said that was his name? Caligo snorted slightly. "I'm not sure what you have come here in search of, stallions, but I can tell you it will take a special stud to win my heart." she paused, a look of challenge on her face, as if she were teasing them to even try. "All I am currently interested in is a home. Or, a place to stay, rather." The beauty snorted and raised her head high, examining the stallions for their reactions.

Therthis
The black stag nodded, looking unsurprised. "I can offer that. I don't mind it if you reserve your heart for another. I offer safety for those who come with me, and I wouldn't try to make you do something you don't want to."
Xanerath
The green-eyed one smiled a bit. "I offer you a place to stay whenever you wish for it. You're free to wander as you please though. You could come and go as you like." the black half hellion was feeling a bit of rivalry building between him and his older brother, Therthis. The two had never been the best of friends, but they only stopped each other when one got truly so far out of line that they could be considered enemies of all.

Thowra snorted as he heard the other. "No more than Therthis and Xanerath can I offer, except that my land is secure from those of any malicious intent. The very trees themselves protect those within the forest." He knew there was nothing more he would be able to give her, but he would answer anything she asked.
Certainly he was getting much older than he had been. A wise head on shoulders too young for such wisdom, was a good way todescribe him.

Caligo was slightly disappointed with these stallions. Why were they obeying her every word? She snorted slightly. Yes, it was a safe home she was looking for but another factor would be whether they would fight for her, to convince her to come with them. The beautiful gray turned her brown eyes to Therthis and examined the handsome stallion for a moment before turning her gaze Xanerath, looking at his green eyes and slightly awed at them. Though she never let stallions captivate her, she was slightly taken aback by his green eyes. And then she looked to Thowra, the eldest of the three who was still incredibly handsome and of course wise. His age worried her slightly, though. Would he be able to keep up with her? Caligo knew she was a bit of a handful.
"Well, if you all have the same to offer, how am I supposed to choose?" her tone was slightly sarcastic. They weren't really trying to convince her very well. It was almost like they did not care if they won her or not. Should not stallion fight for what they want? Is that not the way it has always been when it comes to claiming mares? Caligo narrowed her eyes. Things were indeed quite different here than her eastern home.

Therthis
The black smiled a bit, then shook his head. "I didn't say that I had the exact same things to offer you. As far as land, yes, it is true. However, there are... other things I can do, that neither of these two can hope to accomplish." with a flick of his glowing black horn, a spark went into the treetops, and a bulge began to form on on of the tips of the branches. Then the black shot up a larger one, golden red, it flew to the highest point of the tree.
It changed, shifted, bulges grew, and the tree bore fruits of a hundred different kinds upon its branches.
"I'm half unicorn, and half hellion. I'm more than capable of healing, as well as more unorthodox things, such as this." he nodded with a wink at one of the fruits. "Still practicing it though. Sometimes it makes combinations of living things, such as an apple-pear."

Caligo chuckled slightly. Of course the stallion would now take the time to show off himself, since he had finally figured out that that was what she was after. The beauty smirked as she watched his display of his particular talent. "Impressive..." she said with a wink, though her tone was slighlty disinterested. An apple-pear? What use was that to her? She didn't even like pears. It was an interesting ability, however. And healing? Though Caligo was indeed growing slightly interested in this gifted stallion, she continued to appear nonchalant, as if she needed more convincing.

Therthis
"Not the only one I've done. Have you ever tasted a mango? I've made a cross between that and a grape, which was quite good." he paused, then laughed a bit. "Though making such trifles and healing aren't all I do." he said finally, with a somewhat roguish grin on his black features.
Flames shot down from his horns, and black and gold ones sprang up along his body, flaring as he opened his wings partway. Tendrils of the gold and black fire snaked out from his wings and horn, spreading towards the fae, before he abruptly snapped his wings shut and they faded away, till all that remained was the glowing horn.
"I can attack without touching my foe. Good for range and flying assaults."
~*~*~*~*~*
Xanerath
I sighed, rolled my eyes a bit at my older brother. "I have no such abilities, except for the last. The gift of flames though, is stronger in me." I nodded my head as the flames grew along my mane and tail.
"However, the abilities one has doesn't mean that they will win in a fight against one without the same talents. I have brains and strength. That is all I have ever needed to survive and gain what I have come to possess. Such as my land."
I smiled a bit, but I had a sinking feeling that, once again, Therthis would manage to get a fae to join him with his smooth ways. Not that I had much against him, but I'd like to have been able to outshine him just once.
Looked like father would pick him as a favorite.
Again.

Seeing Therthis lit up in flames made Cailgo's heart skip a beat. But her gaze was ripped away from the sultry sight as Xanerath spoke. She had almost forgotten he was there! She smiled as he spoke of brains and strength. Those were indeed very important to her, as well. Wait, what was she doing? She was not trying to fall in love! Caligo snorted to herself and shook her head, making her gray forelock fall in to her eyes. However, she could not help but feel her heart speed up slightly as she looked between the two stallions. Am I going soft? she thought in disgust to herself.
Well, the deciding factor could possibly be if there were other mares in the lands. Too many mares would be a big no-no for Caligo, considering the bitch could barely get along with stallions, let alone other mares! "Who else resides in your lands, stallions?" she asked, her eyes turning from the handsome black stallion with wings to his equally handsome brother. She smiled and her eyes glittered playfully as she watched them. She wanted them to woo her, or try their damn hardest.

Xanerath
"Hardly any are in my own herd. There is my queen, Bambala's Cybele, and a wanderer, who is hardly ever seen, named Shimmer. Only one other is there; Alexa, who has not truly decided if she wishes to be in my herd, or the subherd of Niagra." I shrugged a bit, then looked to Therthis. He had a larger herd than I, so if Caligo preferred the smaller herd, I could possibly have another mare join me.
~*~*~*~*~*
Therthis
"It's... Complicated." he said, laughing a bit. "There's Starlit and Seamus, my two sons. Freheit and Hope, two daughters of Blade who escaped with their mothers. There are the two mothers, Moonslight and Celeste, and there is Volo and Scar. However, Starlit, Freheit, Hope, Celeste, and Moonslight are only there till Exile and Blade are defeated, because for now, I am the only one besides Thowra who can protect anyone from the two demons."
He cocked his head a bit, then continued, watching Caligo with a curious expression, that defied understanding. "Freheit, Hope, and Seamus are all foals, so they stay with their mothers. Celeste and Moonslight tend towards watching them, as does Scar. Volo will soon have her own foal, of Amani, who forced her. Starlit is often gone, wandering about, and so not much is seen of him."
The black did a bit of a bow, before looking at her face with a slightly different expression, something close to interest. "So, it all depends on how you look at it. Should you remove my two sons from the equation, then I have six, with another foal to be born soon. Should you remove all foals, then I have but four. Should you remove Celeste and Moonslight, since they probably won't stay, I have but two.
"Should Armada join me, then I would have three. Should you join, then I would have four."
He shrugged again, then turned to look at his half brother, then to Thowra. "It all depends upon your point of view. Include all of them, and my herd has nine members, and two possible members. Which would make the total number eleven, plus me."

Caligo listened to Xanerath. He had a queen already? That disappointed her slightly, however it's hard to find a stallion who has not already been wooed by a kniving mare. Who's to say they even loved each other if not one wanted the power of the position? She snorted and looked to Therthis as he spoke. She followed his explanation nicely, understanding that his two sons did not count because once they reached the age, they would leave. Two mares were possibly leaving, and there was another possibly joining, along with the foals and one unborn. It was confusing, and she couldn't help but laugh as he finished. Therthis had a large herd, indeed! She knew it would not be good, especially with Armada. She had heard of her.... And their combined personalities would definitely not mesh.
"Dear Therthis, I tend to have confrontation with females. And you seem to have a few, be them foals or not. Armada, I especially fear I would cause trouble with." She circled him, her gray pelt brushing against his warm black. She stopped and turned to Xanerath. Though he had a queen, some only went after the position for the power, not for love. No love was forever, and she wanted to win his heart, even if he did not win hers in return. "Xanerath, you are humble about your small herd population. It pleases me," she circled Xan a little slower, her body brushing against his a bit more than she had brushed against Therthis. Her eyes danced playfully as she watched him, stopping in front of the two stallions.
