Jasper galloped to the center of the lush meadow and reared letting out a loud bellow, claiming this land for his herd only. He pranced around and threw his head in happiness, glad to have a place to call home for once.

Artemisia was flying. She almost flew into Jasper, but used her powerful self to slide to a stop before she injured her leader. She was home. This was home. She reared, higher than ever, with pure joy. She let her eyes scan the beautiful meadow. It was gorgeous, even in the early winter. She walked around, with her nose to the ground, snorting. She suddenly stopped, and dropped her body to roll in her new home. She needed to smell like home as soon as possible. She stood back up, and looked over to Jasper. "It's gorgeous!" was all she could say.

Jasper had a smile on his maw as his mare rolled, this was their home now and he hoped it would stay that way for quite a long time. "Yes it's perfect!"He trotted around the hills and nestled in the little valley between the hills was a small grove of trees. He walked down to them and looked around, the evergreens would keep this place warm and dry all year long and they were below the snow line so they didn't have to worry about that.

"It is." and she meant it. They had gotten very lucky. This land really was perfect. Artemisia walke over to the trees where Jasper was standing. She walked around, in, out, everywhere, in the trees. She found a soft spot, and laid down. She took in te mysterious way the trees reached up to the sky from down on her level. So perfect, so mesmerizing, so serene. Amazing. "So, where are we? Anywhere near other lands?"

A smile spread across his maw "Yes, my sister's herd is not far, and there is a new herd just south of us." He pawed the ground, stirring up the dead needles and made the perfect place to lay down. His front legs buckled and the rest of his boyce fallowed. The layer over the ground was warm and soft, giving him a nice cushion. The sun was starting to set as streaks of purple and pink made their way across the ever darkening sky. The suns last rays made the lands glow, a halo of light before the darkness consumed.

"Hopefully they'll be welcoming." Artemisia sighed as she continued to observe the pure land as the sun set. Every day was a miracle. The sun comes up, the sun goes down; sure as sure could be. She couldn't help think, though, that that alone is a blessing. That if the sun decided one day not to arise, they would be doomed. She embraced every moment of this miracle called life, all traces of ingratitude had been stripped of her early in life. Experiences can change one's character so much. The sun had set, and so had she. Blackness was taking over the land. She let her own blackness overcome her as well to fall deeply asleep.

Behind Jasper's closed lids a story played out, the story of him growing up with Aleta. She was only his half sister but he was very close to her growing up. They had been glued at the hip, where one was the other could surly be found. Until the day his father had kicked him out, and not long after that the herd was killed by the lightning.
Strange sounds roused Jasper from his sleep and he raised his head. The sight before him made him jump up and charge the two stallions that were trying to steal Artemisia. He caught them off guard and they quickly galloped away. Well what a welcome! Vivian and Silverpelt were the herd leaders from the herds north and south of Jasper's lands and they had now royally pissed the golden stallion off.
He angrily paced, harks flat against his skull and his head shaking back and forth. He came to a stop and glared in the direction of both herds, they would have he_ll to pay if they ever thought to return. Jasper had never been so angry in his life, they had tried to steal his mare! He looked over at her and instantly relaxed, glad that she was safe and still with him. He had only known her for a few months but he had had a special question on the tip of his tongue the entire time. He figured now was a good time to finally ask her.
The golden stallion walked towards Artemisia and lowered his head and nuzzled her. He took a step back to give her some room and took a deep breath. "I have been meaning to ask you this for a while Artemisia, would you be my Lead Mare? I have liked you ever sense those first few days, and it grown into love" Jasper felt so awkward, it was hard for any stallion to say something like this. "I love you Artemisia, and I want you to be by my side"
OOC: Whoa! My muse just blew my mind! I have never wrote a post this big before!

Artemisia was startled awake by the scent of two unfamiliar guests. She scrambled up and looked around, eyes still adjusting to the lighting. Then she turned around. The two stallions were right there, trying to steal her! How dare they! She screamed out. THAT woke Jasper up. She hid as Jasper quickly ran them out of his territory. She looked into the liquid gold stallion's eyes as he spilled his heart. Her heart fluttered, her muscles ached from joy, this was amazing. "Oh Jasper! I would be delighted to be your lead mare! I-I love you too." She ment it. She completely and utterly ment it. This beautiful land, her wonderful stallion, this was a blessing. A true blessing, come just a couple months after the trauma of losing her family. What a miracle! The paint gently nuzzled him back. Happiness overcame her. OOC: You can say that again! Quite good though(:

Joy flooded through the golden stallion as he herd the word he had longed to hear. "I was so worried you wouldn't want to be lead mare."He lovingly groomed her and looked up at the sky as it started to ever slowly grow brighter. "Well it looks like we get an early start on the day thanks to those two." He noticed a bush not far away, it had thorns and a sweet sent. They would have raspberries in the spring and early summer, one of his favorite treats.

Artemisia nuzzled and groomed Jasper back. She watched him lovingly as he inspected his raspberry bushes. Artemisia noticed the rising sun, and realized it was getting very close to spring. Spring was her absolute favorite season. The sun warmed the land, the grass grew green, lush and long. Days grew longer and sweeter, nights grew shorter and warmer. The sky turns a brighter blue, the clouds a fluffier white. Spring, to her, was a blessing. It is the season of rebirth. The Earth is anew. The old has passed, the new has come. Foals frolick around, exploring the bright new world they have been gifted. Oh how she has always wanted a foal! They are the embodiment of hope. Hope is what got her through life, after all.

Spring was right around the corner! Jasper was excited, he wanted a foal to care for and protect. The golden brute looked at his mare with love and nuzzled her "Spring is almost here, I know my view on the matter, but what do you think about having a foal? It's fine if it's to early for you, you just have to tell me." He didn't want to make her do anything she didn't want, he would rather die. The stag patiently awaited her response, he wanted a new beginning, here in there wonderful lands.

A grin seeped onto Artemisia's maw. How could this be so perfect? "I know that this is early and such, but I think we can manage a foal when spring comes." Images of a healthy, kicking foal danced around in her head. She couldn't help but smile. What mare couldn't't feel the maternal instincts? Not her, at least! All she could hope for now was that everything would go well, when time comes.

A few days later...
Jasper trotted around the edge of the land, making sure no stallion had crossed his boundary. It was now spring, and he didn't want any uninvited guests. After making sure that all was well, the golden stallion headed towards the lower part of the lands. Hooves stopped atop a small hill, looking for his love. Chocolate orbs found the sleek boyce and he started towards her.
OOC: Alright, who should get the first foal? We can come to a mutual agreement or have Breyer flip a coin.

Artemisia was happily munching on newly uncovered spring grass. In a couple of days, the snow had almost completely melted and new grass was starting to grow. The sky was bright today and the temperature moderate. She sensed Jasper and looked up. The gold of him shone brightly in the spring sun. The edges of him melted into the sky. Liquid gold is what she could always compare him too. Artemisia nickered happily to him. She sprung her way up the hill and lovingly nuzzled him. OOC: Um I don't know, would you like it?(:

Jasper nuzzled his Artemisia back and started grooming her. Once he was finished the gold stallion spoke "How was your day?" Bending his head down, the brute took a bite of the sweet grass and ate.
OOC: You can have it, that way everyone gets a foal this year, and we can just say they 'went into the forest for privacy' Muse: God it sucks right now

"Every day is a good day when I get to see you." Artemisia shot him a flirty grin. Today was a good day. White fluffy clouds covered only a portion of the sky, the rest was a bright blue. The grass was growing very fast. A bright green was spreading across all the lands. Artemisia grabbed some grass. How nice spring grass was! "I'll be in the trees. You better come quick!" She giggled her signature flirty giggle. OOC: sounds like a good plan to me!

Jasper chuckled, he remembered the quiet mare he found in the mountains, now she was his lead mare and she had come into her own. The stag grabbed a quick bite and fallowed his fae into the trees.
OOC: ROFL I laughed so hard!So foal will be born 2/11/12

OOC: ALright, I had breyer flip a coin. You got twins, one filly and one colt. You can decide to give one of thefoal away to another player or keep both, its up to you. Because they are born in-game, you don't need them to be accepted. Go ahead and post a filled out fourm for the one(s) you want to keep. Remember that Jasper is 14.2 hh and Artemisia is 15 hh, so the foal(s) will be around 14.2 hh, 14.3 hh,or 15 hh
