west.

Fariydiva neighed and then ran in front of Iuig, preventing her to walk further then she demanded out, "No. I don't want two of the youngest members to both be missing! I won't allow it.."

Iuig looked at the old mare sincerely then she said, "Fariydiva. You must stay and watch the others.. I'll be fine, I promise.. I know your daughter. I'm sure she's in the Far Plains! We'll be back before you know it.. Please.. Just trust me." She snorted softly.

Fariydiva neighed sadly, knowing Iuig was right about knowing Seatra. She knew that Iuig knew Seatra even more than she did herself. She stepped out of the way of Iuig and she whispered softly, "Just be careful.. I know you're a smart girl. Don't get into any trouble.." She slowly made her way back to the shelter to return to the rest of the herd -- her head hanging as she walked.

Iuig looked over at Fariydiva sadly then she called out, "I'll be back, Fariydiva, I promise.." And then she ran. She ran as fast as she could to the west. She was SURE Seatra went to the Far Plains. She couldn't think of any other place her friend going. She just couldn't believe Seatra would just venture off in the middle of the night the way she did.

The frustration pushed Iuig to run even faster. The trees and dark grass came into the distance, the Far Plains were coming up. Close. She was almost there.

Seatra's New Beginning

Seatra started walking slowly as she entered the valley of the mountains. The sun was already warming up the lands, it was about noon. Seatra was exhausted from running nearly all night. The mountains casted a great shade from the sun, it allowed Seatra a chance to cool off.

She continued to walk lightly, moving very slowly. She saw no signs of any living creatures. The valley was wide, surrounded by the tall, rocky mountains that canapied it. It was quiet, the only sounds Seatra could hear was the light steps of her own footprints pressing against the hard surface below her. But she pressed on, walking deeper and deeper into the valley.

She snorted to herself and rolled her eyes as she thought to herself, 'so much for all those stories I heard.' She kept walking, disappointed by the nothingness these mountains held. She was a bit irritated by the lies she was told as a foal.

She kept walking until she arrived to what seemed to be the end of the valley. In front of her was nothing but steep mountain blocking her from walking any further. So, she turned around and went to go make her way back home, since this was a wasted trip.

Suddenly a loud rustling noise came from behind her. It caught her by surprise, she neighed loudly and turned rapidly.

After turning around she saw just an old, decaying bush. She sighed and chuckled as she came to the assumption that it was just rustling from the wind. She snorted through her nose and raised her head confidently. She giggled and turned back around to walk back out. She walked with her head high, and she bragged out loud, "Heh! If only Mother could see me now. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Mother and the rest will never believe them when I tell them how far I travelled, alone."

Just then a loud roar was heard from behind Seatra. Seatra turned suddenly, knowing it was serious this time.

Bursting from behind the bushes was a vicious mountain lion, it's long deadly claws fully exposed. It pounced towards Seatra and Seatra just froze in shock. Seatra's knees locked from the deathning fear of the cougar.

Out of no-where came a flash of brown leaping towards the feline, knocking the cougar to the ground before it could reach Seatra.

Seatra neighed frantically, unaware of what was going on or what to do. She realized now that a dark brown stallion with white stockings and mane had came to her rescue. She's never seen this horse before, but she has never before been so happy to see someone.

The stallion was neighing loudly and rearing, trying to make himself seem bigger to the mountain lion. He was bucking and kicking. The mountain lion looked up to the horse terrified, its' eyes full of fear. The cougar got up as fast as it could and climbed back up the rocky mountain, getting as far away from the stallion as it could, it's tail in between its' legs.

The wild mustang stood there breathing a bit hard from the excitement of fighting off a mountain lion. He was chuckling a bit under his breath, he enjoyed the excitement, but it was too easy. He was a handsome mustang. He was obviously strong, his shoulders were brod, his legs were fit, his back had amazing posture. He looked over to Seatra with the corner of his eyes yet he remained silent.

Seatra tried to offer an assuring smile, but she was a bit embarassed. She couldn't believe she just froze like that. She dropped her head ashamed. She kicked at a loose pebble sheepishly as she said softly, "Thanks for saving my life."

The stallion chuckled out loud and turned to her, "You're not from around here." He shook his head so his mane could get out of his eyes so he could get a better glance at her.

Seatra raised her head a bit offended as she replied, "Is it that obvious?" She too looked at the stranger, trying to get a better look at him. She couldn't deny that he was a handsome stallion.

He chuckled again and tried to make his tone a bit more friendly, "I just never seen you here, that's all.."

Seatra looked at him in awe and she asked innocently, "So, does that mean you're from here?"

He chuckled again and said sarcastically, "Yeah, you could say that." He rolled his eyes and nudged his head up, higher up the mountain, "Come, I'll show you.." He smiled at her as he started to walk away.

He made his way up, almost flawlessly. He climbed confidently, not second-guessing where his hooves land. He just looked forward and used his strong legs to pull him up the mountain.

Seatra was a bit nervous, she already made a fool out of herself once infront of this stranger, she didn't want to embarass herself again after knowing him for only five minutes -- tops. She stood there thinking of an easier way to get up.

The young stallion was about half way up when he realized the filly was not following him. He looked down and saw that the mare was still down in the valley doing nothing much but watching him climb up, she was obviously in a trance. He rolled his eyes, a bit charmed. He snorted loudly, trying to gain her attention.

Seatra looked up at him, startled. She asked playfully, trying to pull it off like she knew what she was doing, "Yes?" She shook her head and neck, making her mane fall in to all the proper places.

"I was going to show you around these parts, since you obviously don't know this area.. Aren't you coming?" He waited, growing a bit impatient.

She didn't know how to respond, she knew she was just gonna embarass herself. She just dropped her head trying to think.

The stallion chuckled a bit, finally getting what was going on. He nudged his head down, showing the way he got up then he said kindly, "Don't worry, there's a pathway. It's a lot easier than it looks. My herd travels around here a lot."

Seatra looked to where he was trying to show her and it was now clear as day, a passage way leading up to the top of the mountains. She opened her mouth, a bit in shock by her own naive stupidity. She snorted out of her nose, a bit irritated. She rolled her eyes and followed his path up.

He waited for her to reach him before he pressed on. He didn't know her very long, but he was already adoring her stubborn personality. He offered a smile when she reached him and then they continued to walk up together quietly.

Seatra was growing tired of the silence, thus she decided to break it, "So, you said your herd comes around here, huh?" She was intrigued and wanted to learn more about the herd he was with.

The stallion laughed hardily and then nodded his head, "It sure does, we live in these mountains, we live off these mountains.." He didn't want to say anymore, he didn't want to get too personal with a complete stranger so he decided to focus the conversation elsewhere. "Where are you from, anyways? You can tell your legs aren't built for mountains."

Seatra neighed under her breath, she couldn't believe he was looking at her legs. But she answered anyways, "I'm from the Eastern Plains. My herd is located there." She watched him, hoping for a reaction. She was let down when his face just remained the same emotion. She gasped and then said a bit bluntly, "What's your name anyways?!"

He stopped walking and looked at her seriously and then said confidently, "Kurifu." He stood there for a second, but then began to walk again. They were almost to the top.

Seatra smiled and just repeated under her breath, "Kurifu..." She giggled to herself and followed happily. She was a bit fancy of the confident stallion she met. She was already growing fond of him. She then asked excitedly, "Didn't you want to know my name?!"

Kurifu laughed and then said, "Sure, I'll bite. What's your name?" He was trying to muse her, he could tell she was getting out of her shell a bit now, and that she was really playful. He's not really used to stuff like that. Specially after what happened to his herd.

Seatra began to prance now, the walk becoming more easy for her despite the steepness. She smiled wide then said, "My name is Seatra!"

Kurifu smirked and
