Ashton
My head lifted and tilted in greeting to each of the stallions as they spoke. Each, I knew by name. Though, some might not of known me. "Greetings, Thaneliel, Demon of the Swamp, Phoenix," I started then smiled slightly seeing Eros and his bird. "Eros and Helios, welcome, Cadifor, Falcon, Phantom, Sympathy and Corus," I finished.
I looked at the newest stallion, Corus. "Corus, this is a truce meeting, there will be no fighting, nor tormenting" I said, just making sure that he understood. "Understand?" I asked the stallion.
I turned slightly, moving so I was able to see every stallion at once. "My brothers and sister," I said in greeting "you are all here, but a few but they will join us later for we need to speak of these issues with somewhat haste" "It is for the safety and happiness of our lands, and herds," I said, meeting each pair of eyes.

Corus laughed. "Me? I dont do that anymore.. I'm not the ones who cause fights or try to torment others. You must have me mixed up with someone else." He lied.
Sympathy lowered his head, annoyed at Corus. He was such a trouble maker! "Corus. Just shut up." He spoke up, his ears back. He wasnt one to normally get aggressive, or speak alot. He smiled and turned back to look at the vixen, as he saw the look Corus possessed.
For once in his life, Corus was shocked. Never had Sympathy back talked to him, before. His ears flickered backwards. "Watch your self, Sympathy.." He growled, stamping his hoof. A dark look was painted across his face. Yes, he was scheming again...
Maybe it was clear to the other stags there was to be conflict between the stags soon, or after the meeting. Sympathy saw Corus' dark look and snorted. He swished his tail and stared at Corus. "Let's go then." He whispered, loud enough for Corus to hear.
"Dont worry.. We will be back soon..." Corus promised and the two stags galloped off. There was sure to be a fight amongst the two now.

Old Thowra I sighed, the hell horses always were fighters, werent they? Annoying as that was, there was no threat to me, so I ignored those two. He was big though and that did surprise me. I sighed watching them leave. Hell horses were such annoying things sometimes. "What is the problem at hand?" I asked Ashton.
My grandson, named like me, stood silently next to me, watching the hell horse with scared eyes. Yarraman, my father watched things silently, he had had enough fighting.
Sorrel My eyes flicked at the hell horse and the grey. Then I turned to look at the others, no more interested in Corus and Sympathy than I was interested in the fly I flicked from one leg with my tail. Why had we all been called here? What was the reason for this meeting?

Ashton
I glared at Corus slightly at the lie. "Corus, do not lie for anyone could see though it," I told the hell horse and watched, unimpressed as the two stallions went off to fight. I did not wish to have a dead stallion and homeless mares on my mind at the moment.
My black head nodded to Thowra slightly and I contiued. "The humans, they are our problem," I said and tossed my head slightly, sighing. "My own herd has been attacked, also neighbours and a few of you," I said looking at each horse is turn. My closest brothers nodded. Desert Sun, Ashwin, Kairva. They all nodded. I already knew they had hit the worst of it. "We have new allies, which are on there way and you have to wait to meet but remember they are on our side," I said. "But, we need ideas...plans...speak if you have an idea," I said lifting my head once more.
OOC: ok guys, this is kinda like a everyone in plot kinda thing..its ties in with our 'changes' which will be told soon...^^

Eros nodded as he listened to everyone, and the leader. Helios stayed quiet. Eros had dealt with humans but that was as a single horse, not in a herd. Eros didn’t know exactly how to get a herd moving. He assumed staying with your herd, or breaking it up into two or more groups could save the herd… or most of it, but he didn’t know if that would work. There were limits to the blind stallion’s knowledge. He frowned as his blue/silver/gray eyes closed, so he could think and listen, and make sure he wasn’t missing anything. That wasn’t what he wanted.
Helios suddenly spoke up. ”I’ve seen humans hunt down horses. The best tactic I’ve EVER seen is splitting the herd. One part goes with either lead mare, or Beta, and the other with the lead stallion, from there each group can break off, splitting, both the herd, and the human pack.” He said quietly, his golden eyes meeting everyone, and stopping at the Leader. ”You may lose a horse or two, but once the human pack is wittled down you can either take them out one by one, or run away…” he was a proud bird. Many humans looked up to him as a reason of pride and freedom. He could go any where and do anything. He’d followed other horses when Eros fell for the dark mare… And this is just where he might be useful.

"Sounds like a plan." Corus stood beside Eros. He had returned without notice. Blood was smeared around his mouth and hooves, it was obvious there had been a bad fight. But where was Sympathy? Only Corus knew. A dark look spread across the stags face, and he laughed.
Sympathy struggled for air. He had lost the fight, there had been no chance to win against the hell horse. The gray stag limped back slowly towards the group. He breathed heavily, and glared at Corus' figure. He would get Corus back in the end, he was sure.
Sympathy's body was drenched in sweat, as he had worked hard to keep Corus away from his precious organs, as the hellion had sliced through his skin so easily. Luckily none had been, but there was wounds all over his body, as he bled heavily, leaving a trail behind him as he limped.
He finally stood beside Corus, his head almost touching the ground, his eyelids fluttering, he was alive and would be for a long time. He would recover, and live with his love, Ceelena... For now. The gray stag breathed in and out slowly, and lifted his head painfully.
"You alright, Sympathy? Maybe you should go home." Corus' laughed. He turned away, not expecting a awnser. He flicked his tail towards Sympathy. The tall stag was possibly the tallest in the lands, and of course he would be. He towered over the other stags and his ears pinned to his skull for a second, when he heard Sympathy speak. "I'm absolutely fine.."
OOC : hehehe... >=D

Cadifor listened silently to the issue at hand, taking note of the two stallions departing and then returning separately, the second one coming in bloody and ragged. He tilted his head slightly in concern but heard him say he was fine. However, Cadifor could tell that Sympathy was not "fine". He looked far from it. But it was not his place to say anything. Humans? He had scented them but had never thought of them actually coming here, and especially hunting the equines. He sighed, however, glad that his home was hidden from humans. Perhaps he could offer residence to those who needed it until the pesky two-leggeds were taken care of. This could be a possibility, perhaps he should mention it. "My home is in the secret valley and I will be willing to share my land with any who seek refuge until the pest problem is under control." He gave a friendly nod, waiting to hear feedback on his suggestion, his eyes wandering over the faces of the attending stallions.
The buckskin stallion watched the happenings behind his view of black forelock. This was all boring to him indeed. He only had one other that belonged in his land, and he knew they could handle themselves. Humans would not dare cross him once they see what he is capable of. If only he knew that it would only make them want him more, especially for the unique color of his coat and the length of his mane, tail, and fetlocks. His eyes traveled to the two stags who left and returned, a smirk on his features as the second returned in ruin. He wanted so badly to pick a fight. However, Ashton had proclaimed a moment of peace and he would respect that...for now. Taking care of the human problem? That would definitely be fun...going around exterminating the two-legged creatures. Piece of cake.

Ashton
I nodded slightly to Eros. "I am hoping to not lose anyone to these humans, but that is the idea if there is no other plan...and we just hope for the best," I replied calmly. "Thank you Helios and Eros for the idea, it has been noted," I said looking around. I would give everyone a chance to speak before choseing the best possible way.
My head shot up to see a uninjured hell horse moving towards us. "Sounds like a plan." he said and I sighed slightly. "Corus, this is under the flag of truce, so no fighting wil be-" I said but paused as Sympathy returned to the group. "No more fighting will happen during this meeting," I said firmly, loooking over the injured stallion and nodded once. At least he was still standing. I looked at Corus, hoping he would at least give it a try.
Cadifor spoke and I almost sighed with relief as the empty silence was filled. "Yes, thank you Cadifor," I said, nodding in approval. It was not a easy thing for a stallion to share his lands like this. I looked around and nodded once to Ashwin. He had recieved the worst end of things. "Cadifor," Ashwin said "If you will have me and my family then I would be grateful to reside with you.."

Corus rolled his eyes. "He said he was okay. And he wanted to fight me, its not like.. I have a problem with anyone." He sighed. He looked down at Sympathy, wondering if he shouldn't have spared his life. His thoughts ran back to the easy battle he had won.
Sympathy was swaying from side to side, dizzy. He 'believed' he was fine, well not really. He glared at Corus for a second and lowered his head. Maybe I should go.. He thought. "Ma-" He was cut off by Corus, as listened as he spoke.
"Any stallion who wishes to, can move their family to my lands. It is hot, and in the middle of nowhere. They would not dare to enter, because they would not come out alive. I would personally make sure of that, anyway."
"Maybe some of you are thinking, I would be a problem, no I would not. I dont go asking for fights, and if its too hot. I could probably find some shade under some trees in my land. " He somewhat suspected others wouldnt be so keen to come.
"I will come." Sympathy said weakly. "If the land of wishes is invaded. I will come, but only as a last resort for life."

Old Thowra[/u]
I sighed. "I know my land well enough, but there are a few there I would not want to risk. I have had these humans annoy me before, my lead mare and my sister were once taken. Luckily both managed to escape. I will not risk them being lost again so I may move my herd for the time being, though I will continue to watch over my lands."
Boon Boon would not like that I knew, but it was the only plan I had.
Yarraman snorted, "Corus, many of us may not like hell horses that much but if you will allow it, I and my mare will run with you for the time being. I do not want to have to deal with the men, I grow too old for that."
My grandson snorted, looking at me. "I think I will take my herd elsewhere, though I have no idea where I shall go." He sighed. "I have never dealt with or seen men before."
"Be glad that you have not, young one," I replied. "They are not to be messed with."
Sorrel[/u]
"If you want to, you are more than willing to join me and the herds in my land if you wish to be safe. I do not fear the men and I will not let anyone be taken."
There was not a chance of me allowing any men into my land or to take anyone from us. I was not one to allow it. Though I wanted peace, if there was fighting to be done in order to pertain that than I would fight.
Old Thowra
I thought for a moment. "Who are these allies you spoke of, Ashton?"

Ashton
I nodded lightly as I listened to the chatter around me. Thowra asked a question and I nodded slightly, smiling. "That..." I started then hesatated slightly. I wondered how they would all react to this. Old enemies would soon become great allies. To destroy the thing that was against us both.
"Listen, all of you, before I tell you," I said, meeting each pair of staring eyes. "Our newest allies, were once our worst enemies but they to are having problems with the humans and have offered there aid to us and I in return have pledged ous..."
I inhaled, my black mane blew in the wind as the slience grew. "Our newest allies are the wolves.." I said, pausing and waited for the responce.
OOC; okies dokies SUPRISE! There shall also be wolves on this site...they shall be on trail at first and we can see where things go from there.. You do not have to have a wolf, you can just stick with horses if you want. ^^ and the wovles cannot be RPed or made until I set it all up..and I need time for that.

Athena stood, vagueley listening to the exchange of words between the stallions. The focus of her attention was Sympathy, her orbs were, most of the time, locked on him. She sighed, flicking her audits back as Corus and Sympathy left, damn hellhorses, voilent as always. She smirked to herslef, she couldn't really talk, she was a vampire. She tossed her skull, her mane rippling in waves past her stomach. It was a little while later, however, that both the fighting stallions returned, and she began to get anxious. The hellhorse, obviously, was unhharmed, his pelt was nearly as inpenetrable as hers. Sympathy, however, was dripping in scarlet liquid. A vampire's dream.
Blood
Her golden eyes blazed, she held her breath, hoping for an escape route, but she had become enclosed in the group of stallions. She threw an anxious glance to Ashton, her auds pressed to her skull. She was running out of air, yes, she could hold her breath for an indefinate amount of time, but sensory depreivation was uncomfortable. She cast a glare to Corus. His fault. She snorted, gasping in a quick, blazing breath. She hissed under her breath, there was no way she was going to be able to resist this much longer. As it was, her feet were already moving, almost involintarily, toward the young stallion, her 2 beat pace alerted her that she was trotting. Another breath, another surge of thirst. She forced herself to stop, vicious, parched eyes pleading with anyone who happened to be looking at her. Then, it happened... the involintary snap she had been waiting for.
And she lunged toward Sympathy...

"Wolves? I know a few that might be able to help..."
Corus liked wolves, they were good fighters and they had a debt to pay him anyway. Wolves had never dared to attack him, after he had killed their most skilled fighter, when he had first met the Gore pack. He only paid attention to Ashton for a few seconds though.
Corus' dark eyes locked upon the vampired vixen. Dont you dare.. He thought, knowing it was possible she would go for Sympathy. He flicked his tail anxiously, he waited. He knew she would go for him eventually, but it was only a matter of time.
Sympathy, of course, never saw it coming or rather he hadn't thought of it ever happening. He let out a soft scream, as she lunged for him. He found himself trying to run, but he couldn't, he was locked in place. He struggled to get up as the vixen was upon him.
Corus found himself reaching down, his teeth going for the vampires skin. He cried out angrily. How dare she! He kicked with his hooves at the mare, knowing he could possibly brake a bone of hers. Her skin may be harder to brake than his, but her bones were certainly more breakable than his.
His tactics then changed. He picked Sympathy up effortlessly and trotted away, dragging him behind him. Dropping him a few metres away, he glared at the vampire. He was the tallest of the horses, and possibly the strongest, as he found Sympathy light to carry.
"Bitch."
It was the only words, Sympathy heard Corus speak as he lay upon the ground, no attempt to get up. He had no strength left, maybe he would die, to leave his love Ceelena to wait for him in the years. His eyes were closed, and more blood pooled around him.
Corus stared at Sympathy. I should have never fought the weakling... None of this would ever happen then... He looked up at the rest of the stags for a brief second, then back at the vampire.
"We need to take Sympathy to Ceelena.. Hes hurt badly.. And you.. You should learn to control yourself.." He knew some might have been thinking of him as a hypocrite, but he didn't care right now. He would stay and fight the vampire if he had too, kill her even so.
"Or.. He will die, by blood loss... Or by her.. Ceelena might not like his death even so.."
Some might have been surprised at his 'change of heart'. But sometimes a hell horse could be nice... Rarely.

Ashton
I felt a remember Athena with a slight shock, a vampire and bleeding stallion so close together could not end well... I started to move forwards to block her but she was already gone.
I had never been more suprised to see a Hell Horse saving the stallion. One look at Sympathy I nodded sharply. "Corus, will you take hi-" I was cut of by a scream and pounding hooves.
Ceelena
I had felt his pain, we were linked in more ways then he would ever know. I staggered slightly as another flash passed. My white curtain flowed behind me and my small hooves thudded lightly across the ground. "Sympathy!" I screamed as I felt his pain. Ashton's head shot up, hearing my voice but I took no notice. Several pairs of eyes turned and watched me running. I took no notice.

Old Thowra Even I have risen up to protect Sympathy from the vampire mare. Yet there seemed no need to. Corus, the hell horse among us all had stopped the vampire mare from hurting Sympathy, and yet it was his fault she had leapt at him. My grandson and father stood watching though, they were a little shocked by what had happened.
