A little shadow skirted the edges of the meeting. The way that the supposed tyrant announced himself was foolish, his voice travelled for miles, the rumours of his existence giving everyone who held a home an extra sense for detecting suspicious acts, and now he stood here, proclaiming all that he intended on doing to the world. Subtlety was the key to success, and loyalty. Who would pledge their lives to a stallion who held nothing but words? Empty words at that. Had he even gathered a group of followers yet? Had he proven himself here, in anything but words? Had he fought? Triumphed? Lost? Had he worked at spreading his mission across the lands, or was this his first and only attempt at recruiting?
Mirage reflected upon the months of wandering with her friends across the lands, the weeks of planning, the loyalties pledged and promises made, the battle that had begun over a land that she now called her home. It was no easy task; it was accomplished successfully by only the strongest, most cunning of creatures.
Did this stallion, who trumpeted his name and threat across the land, truly think he was that capable?
Perhaps he was. Only time would tell. Perhaps it was all a lie - though he spoke of venturing south, to lands that were like a sister realm to Mirage's own herd, perhaps he truly intended to head north. Maybe he would succeed in his mission.
Though if the DragonHeart had anything to say about it, he would fail.
With her magic cloaking her, her footsteps delicate and light, the little mare moved silently as a shadow might amongst the trees that rimmed this area, her nose drinking the scents of familiars with a sense of unease, and those she did not recognise with a sense of worry. How many would gather? She did not linger long enough to find out; she was aware of the threat now, and she would work to prevent it from ever hurting her, or her family.
[- Mirage is using her magic and hiding in the shadows, and lingered long enough to hear his speech and a few people respond to him, before exiting the scene. -]
