Who, in his mind,
has not probed the dark water?



A warning sent through the bond woke the stallion from his thoughts and made him focus on the sound of hooves that steadily approached. The ears flattened against his neck as he warily crept backwards, intending to slip out of view of the pale horse that soon became visible. Honey colored eyes narrowed, taking in the steady built of the mare as well as the markings upon her gray hide; she seemed to have been involved with something recently, because parts of her mane were gone and patches of the coat on the back was shorter than the rest. He didn't linger on the fact that the regrowing hair had a different color than the rest of her. Markings and strange colors were nothing compared to the many strange things he had seen in his life, and a bit of hair wasn't going to matter much. Not even if gleamed and shimmered of purest gold in the light of the sun. Pretty, but useless in a fight.

He cursed to himself when it became obvious that she had spotted him, and as she suddenly came charging towards him the grulla steeled himself, dancing away from the trees with powerful, elegant strides to make moving easier. Was she going to attack, just out of nowhere?
Then her voice rang out and no amount of warning would have been enough to prepare him for what he heard. The stallion backed off, creating more space between them and snorted warily, eying the mare suspiciously. There was still a good distance between them, but somehow it didn't feel enough. How could she know his name?

"Yes?" he asked warily, ears still tucked backwards as he surveyed the ground that separated the two of them. It was a bad place to fight in, the footing was treacherous and the slope would put him in a disadvantage...

From the corner of his eye he saw Fajira come darting down, emitting a sharp sound in warning; fire frothed around her open jaws as she broke the dive and turned sharply, cutting the space between Lace and the stranger with her white little frame. She wouldn't let the flames out though, not unless her bonded told her to; they had fought in enough battles together to know a real threat when they saw one, and this was merely a warning not to approach carelessly.

"I don't think I know you" the stallion said, searching his mind for any memories of a gold marked mare. Nope, none. Nothing came to mind, but in a way it wasn't surprising. During the long years that had passed since he left his mothers side he had traveled long distances and encountered many horses; it wasn't unlikely that he was known by someone he couldn't recall.
