I watch as the blood-crusted stallion gives me a playful grin, that trouble-making grin I had singled him out for even with all my children. Yes, my children were obedient, but Tajheri never had been perfectly changed, still stubborn as a mule and just as annoying, hee-hawing at me and being a little rebellious. It was a change from Archibald and Evers, and I had to stop, force the stiffness out of my body. Of course he'll be an idiot. That's what Tajheri is, as much as I may have forgotten it in his times away. Yes, I'm a bitch, and I know it, but if you're going to lay down and let people walk over you, you're much worse than a bitch. "Yes, Taj, I know all about being a bitch, because if you're anything else horses just walk right over you, crush you under their hooves." He would have to try harder than that to make me angrier than I already am, although his words make me a little more pissed. I really have forgotten what an idiot and mule he can be at times.

I watched my bleeding son stamp his hoof, watch the shivering globules of red drop off his injured hide and hiss, steaming, into the snow, leaving exotic red trails behind it in the white. "Yes, Taj, I do know, as you put it, your 'damn worth'. Unfortunately, you've rather fallen. When you've been hiding in Isilme fighting shades, Archibald and Evers have risen to the positions of leader in the herds. You would do well to remember that. Maybe you can take over some other land in time, but for now, you're just one more son out of nine who will need to prove himself again." My voice is filled with sarcastic pity as I watch him, eyes intent on my buckskin colt. For really, compared to me, he is a colt, a youngling.

you know that idea about MORALS? i never had any.
