Jasmine stood grazing with 'er daughter Zarla and son Grey Desert beside 'er, seeming content though Jasmine knew she wasn't the only one with something on 'er mind. 'er nephew had visted 'er a few nights ago to give 'er disterbuing new. She looked around, hoping to see the comforting figure of Moon and then nuzzling Zarla who was having trouble eating the strange subtance 'er dam called grass.

Grey Desert watched Jasmine without really seeing 'er. 'e was wondering about the beautiful fea Rebel and that coltine. 'e snorted, wishing they had company. 'e two-beat to a stream and stuck 'is muzzle in, blowing out the cold liquid that rose up 'is nostrils.

+|A sharp aud flickered and caught th' gentle huff's o' 'is daughter attempting to chew th' emerald blades o' th' grass, and th' mouthful o' air released from 'is adopted son. 'is kingly cran raised and extened strides took control o' th' sod in 'is own terrain, though 'e no longer moved with th' agile swiftness o' th' younger king's, 'e moved with th' determined e;egance o' one who lived through tremendous battles. sought voctory and defeat, was hurt yet healed, still 'e moved with lithe strides, covering th' geo with ease. A sight o' 'is beloved and daughter warmed 'is torn 'eart, for th' visit o' th' Sacred's to 'is 'omeland 'ad determined 'is mind to know nothing. 'e cared not for what th' Sacred's did, 'e pledged no alleigence to either side, yet when th' time came, 'e would ally with th' Shadows, for their conversation with th' previous King, Legesain 'ad created 'is decision no matter how many times 'e was argued with. A strong whicker o' greeting rang to their auds as 'e rleleased 'is greeting. A greying muzzling extended to Jasmine, and a playful nip and a pleasent smirk to 'is daughter. A welcome half bow was given to Grey Desert with an equal smile o' humanity and kindness.|+

Jasmine flung up 'er dial to nicker to 'er mate, touching 'is muzzle as Zarla prancing around 'er admired sire, returning 'is smirk.
Desert bowed to 'im, still stading by the stream and then returned to weting 'is dry throat.

+|'is extended banner reached 'is masculan shoulder as 'e smiled 'pon 'is family. 'si years were longer and e'ery moment seemed to be an eternity, yet 'e knew 'side 'im 'e was strong and yet 'is life would continue until 'e was ready to die. Though 'e knew 'twould be soon, e'ery day seemed longer and e'ery breath seemed to come faster and harder. But pride still etched 'is 'eart and soul and 'e battled 'long as strong as th' young czar 'e 'ad been when 'e 'ad been first crowned king,

"How does thee fair Jasmine?"

'e inquired, for 'e knew 'he was almost 'as old 'as 'e, still 'er 'ealth worried 'im more than 'is own.|+

Ta speckled black muzzle nuzzles 'is cran.
Well enough to remark fine noble Moon
Soft vocals report though unable to keep the fretful flicker out as 'er orbs take in 'er beloved mate's ageing, making 'er wished 'er hold 'im tight.
Ye?
Came the stable quirey as their daughter rolled over and over upon the greenery.

+|'e grinned at 'er antics, 'he could tell by simply gazing into 'er stunning pools that 'he worried o'er 'im, 'e lipped 'er mane, snagging 'er tassels and tugging playfully,

As well as any ageing fool could be.

'e answered, 'is gaze glancing at Zarla and a myschievous smirk crossed 'is features. 'midst 'er playful rolling 'e snuck 'is flints 'hind 'er as th' last minute charging 'er a few steps as though th' make 'er jump. Though a few steps 'fore 'e reached 'er pain grasped 'is hock, where it 'ad been injured in a battle and 'e somewhat cow hoppped til 'e came to a stop, but keeping 'is expressions straight since th' pain sieced and 'e watched Zarla still 'is playful young bull strengths returning to 'is withering frame,|+

She gave 'im a half playful, half scolding look and followed 'is gaze to their daughter.
Zarla squeled, scrambled to 'er feet and tumbled over, slightly stunned then giggled.
Jasmine smiled and nudged Moon softly, not noticing 'is moment of pain, stepping closer to 'im.

+|'is wincing steps 'ad vanished and 'is gaze followed Zarla, 'twas pride that made 'im nudge Jasmine back for 'e could not 'ave been more pleased for a better family. Though 'e knew soon their time would come and fore'er they would rest in peace together, but before that they must create an heir, one o' which would take th' throne before 'is death, so that 'e may rest in th' peace o' mind that 'is own blood would rule th' kingdom until 'is death was replaced, to carry out th' blood o' th' original King o' th' Torn.|+

'he knew there was something upon 'is mind, maybe troubling 'im and Jasmine couldn't stand for 'er mate to be troubled.
M'Dear? Is there something wrong?
'he asked in an encouraging voice.

(x|'is weary gaze continued to stare off into a distant land as 'is thoughts continued to churn 'side 'im. 'e considered whether to tell 'er or not, yet 'e did not think it appropriate to speak o' it 'front o' Zarla, so 'is lyrics lowered to a whisper as 'e stepped a little ways away, far enough to let none but 'imself and Jasmine could 'ere,

I am getting 'long in my years, yet Shadow Valley does not 'ave an heir to claim th' throne. For I know death is on it's way and e'eryday coming closer and closer, and I fear that one day th' terra will not 'ave th' original king's blood ruling it and that darkness will fall 'pon th' terra and tranform th' Torn to th' Shadows. With an heir we can prevent this, yet it be up to thee....

'is lyrics trailed 'way, still 'is orbits focusing 'pon something other than Jasmine. 'e was worried, th' future o' 'is kingdom was at stake and 'e knew that if an heir was yet to be born th' Neutral's would fall to Darkness and twould ne'er be th' same 'gain.|x)

'he smiled and nudged 'im softly, 'er tones soft too.
Thy am willing....afterall 'tis my duty as ye mate
'he added cheekily to 'im, young lights dancing in 'er aged orbs, after all it was an honour wished for by many a young fea to bare their King's bantles let alone 'is heir. 'he snorted and followed 'is gaze, but seeing the terra in it's glory and remembering...

+|Th' brujo c'ocked 'is tiara slightly, orbits curious,

Are ye sure m'love? It is entirely up to thee.

'e answered softly, turning back to 'er as 'e spoke.|+


ooc- Blah, Writer's Block.

OCC-I didnt think you EVER got writer's block! :blink: :huh: :D .lol. I was just thinking your a GREAT RPGer! Try music...It gets me talking TOO much!hehe :unsure:

'he turned to meet 'is look, with a smile and touched 'is muzzle.
Aye, I am sure Moon, my heart's joy!
'he sang, nickering and dips 'er charcoal dial, making 'er silver locks cover 'er deep brown orbs.

ooc- Lol, yeah I get it all the time just I take 2 thousand years to make it better, but Thanks! :D

bic- +|Azure peltage caught th' rays o' th' golden sun, 'is po'erful form reflecting in a shadow 'pon th' emerald geo. Still 'is orbits were cautious for 'e wondered whether 'e was pushing it, though inside 'e felt 'imself weakening and new someday soon, th' original King o' th' Torn would rest in peace, and all 'e asked was that 'e be remembered and ne'er once forgotten. 'is greying maw extended to 'er cheek nuzzling 'er delecate features,

Then it be up to thee, when we create this heir.

Th' brujo watched 'er, 'e wondered in aw 'ow 'e could 'ave been so lucky to find 'er 'as 'is mate, for 'e knew many fae's thought it an honor to be 'is mate, yet they did not love 'im, they only desired 'is po'er, yet in Jasmine 'e saw what 'e wanted and e'erything more....Love.|+

'he enjoys 'is touch and 'oped more then ever that 'er ending would not be long past nor before 'is, for 'he ould not bare to live without 'er beloved. 'he arched 'er boa, still watching 'is still magnificent form. 'er seasons 'ad been coming faster lately and 'he new that sooner was better to bring peace to minds.
Soon. Now if ye are anxious to be asured.
'he answered softly, stepping close enough to feel the 'ide of 'er united one, the center of 'er love. 'he lipped at a kink in 'is tassels, straighting it absently.

+|Th' touch o' one as Sacred to 'im as 'he was a miracle, yet e'ery day 'e could only 'ope that once 'e 'ad fallen into ne'erending sleep, that 'he would live th' rest o' 'er life in rememberance o' 'im and ne'er forget 'im and that they would meet in th' afterlife.

'Tis entirely up to thee m'love.

'e answered softly, deep tones still in that husky lowness.|+

'he snorted with kind amusement
Ye are a gracious King, Moon
'he mused, though there was an adoring glint in 'er orbs. 'he casted 'er gaze towards 'er young and smiled as 'he imaginged another youth with sure destiny. 'he looked back at Moon and nudged 'is boa.
Then why not now
'he said in equally soft tones, pretenteding the inciconce 'he 'ad long abandoned, 'er pools searching out 'is.

+|Th' withered and somewhat weakened nape bobbed in short agreement, a soft smile o' encouraging peace was emited to 'er radiance. Many thought it honors to bear foals o' 'is, simply because o' a word placed before 'is alias, King. King 'e was true, yet 'he was th' Flower o' th' Nile, th' sweetest and most elegant creature 'e 'ad laid 'is kind orbs 'pon, 'he 'ad changed 'im. Before 'e 'ad been almost to th' point o' turning Shadow yet with 'er 'elp 'e 'ad turned King and ruled with no greater Queen than Jasmine. 'is days were churning 'pon 'is body and 'e 'oped it twas to be a colt, for weeks 'e would teach th' foal 'ow to lead th' terrain as king and on 'is deathbed, 'e would be crowned King o' th' Torn.
'is thoughts clashed back to th' present and focused 'pon Zarla wondering if 'he would be alright while they were gone, perhaps now they should not tell 'er, perhaps after to surprise 'er?|+

A soft smile touched 'er kissers as 'he gazed at 'im and looked at Zarla too.
Shall we suprise her when we return?
'he asked softly, nuzzling 'is shoulder, 'er audits flicking, as though eager to catch the sound of 'is lyrics.

+|At 'er own dazzling smile a flicker o' 'is own played 'cross 'is features. Th' touch o' 'er gentlness was filled with a dream and a gentle nod o' 'is cranium answered it,

Why not, shall we leave 'er with Grey Desert until we return 'gain?

'e asked, foals were not 'is best subject, yet 'e knew one could not leave a young bantle 'lone for long and knew 'er answer twould be suficiant.|+

ooc- Crappy post :angry:

'he nickered, dippin' 'er midnight dial, turnin' to walk towards 'er firstborn, who looked up at 'er as 'he stopped an' spoke to 'im. 'e nodded an' grinned even though 'he 'ad not told 'im where they were goin'. Jasmine nudged 'im and two-beat gracefully back to 'er beloved mate.
Shall we M'Lord?
'he whickered playfully in formal tones.

ooc- since I have mental issues remembering this post why don't we just post in the breeding grounds...?

lol, okay mate.
