Tyrion Lannister

A bear there was, a bear, a bear! All black and brown, and covered with hair! Oh, come, they said, oh come to the fair!

Ancient trees towered above Tyrion Lannister as he made his way through the land searching for a herd to join. He would not make it as an outcast; alone he did not stand a chance against the dangers of these lands. His size prevented him from fighting anything larger than a wolf pup. Foals seemed to loom above him. Least that is what it seemed to be on the outside. Even beautiful places could hold dark secrets and be places of misery. Much like the horses of these realms, you only see what they want you to see. He walked along the path his legs to sore from his journey to these lands. The forest was foggy this morning. The mist swirled up around his small frame. No one will see me in this. Tyrion moved his ears around listening for anyone that approached. These were dangerous times if he did not find a suitable herd soon he'd become an outcast.

Down the road from here to there. From here! To There!

Not that being an outcast was any different than what he was to his own family. This is why he came here, to have a purpose. And perhaps have some sweet mare on the side every now and again. He grinned and moved into a slow, awkward trot singing to himself quietly. Oh, sweet she was, and pure, and fair! The maid with honey in her hair!

Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.

Accalia trotted happily through the forest again. She had a feeling that the coppery mare, Manami, did not like her....for what? Was it simply because she wasn't a stupid Pegasus like her? The lass truly longed for wings, and her disregarding Accalia like that, was like crushing every hope to be like one of them. Well she didn't care anyways. Being equine was great, and besides, you didn't have any giant wings to slow your running down. Accalia was just about the fastest horse that ever lived, with her skinny, but strong body, and her long, lithe legs. Every time in a sprint, she ended elegantly, turning around flipping her golden mane out of her face. She snapped out of her thinking, and focused in the terrain before her. Since it wasn't the first time crossing logs and avoiding trees, she made it nimbly through. The mind of the lass started wandering and day dreaming again.

The fields that she had traversed before arriving here, were so vast and green, it seemed as if the Earth god himself had traveled there before with his green thumb. Tough Accalia enjoyed the forest more, she could not stop thinking about the lush field, but hidden in it were sharp, jagged stones, that could slice through flesh if you fell on them. Suddenly, as she kept on trotting through, she heard masculine singing. Well, at least it's on tune, she thought to herself, almost giggling out loud, going to investigate who was humming. She witnessed a short lad, brown with blonde hair, and a marking on his shoulder. Interesting... A lion symbol, closely related to the symbol of her old herd, Cloninger. She saw how vulnerable he seemed despite his strong frame, and decided to melt out of the scenery to see if she could offer him a place in the Assassins.

"Hello there!" She cheerfully called, flipping her golden mane out of her face and approached him. "I'm Accalia, from the Assassins herd, and you must be?" She said choosing her words carefully instead of blabbering like she did the last time, talking to Manami. She specifically made sure to add in the name of her herd to maybe spark some interest. She stood there with a kind smile upon her kissers as she waited for his reply.
