replied, "Pleasure to meet you, Seatra."

Before long they were at the top of the mountain. Seatra took a step to the top and then gasped by the sight. She saw what seemed to be endless land stretching across the sky. From the bottom of the cannon, the mountains seemed small, but now that she's on top of the mountain, it seems to be a whole new world up there. The grass was yellow, and a bit dead looking. She took in a whiff of air and it just smelt warm. She neighed happily. She could never believe in her wildest dreams that this is what these rocky mountains held!

Kurifu couldn't help but laugh from the expression Seatra was giving. He just watched her stare at his land in awe. He took in a deep breath, refreshed from the smell of his home.

Suddenly a group of horses came running from the other side of the mountains, happy to see Kurifu. They all neighed happily to greet their friend. Kurifu turned around and reared happily, returning the greetings to his friends.

Seatra turned around and examined the herd. The herd was a lot smaller than her herd, but they seemed to be a lot more muscular then hers. This herd was also full of mostly stallions, as for hers was mostly mares. She figured only the tough could survive out here.

Snapping Seatra out of her daze was an older member of the herd asking Kurifu a question a bit rudely, "Who's this mare?!"

Kurifu snorted playfully then answered, "She was down in the valley and she was almost made mountain lion chow."

Seatra neighed sadly and instantly put her head down and asked offended, "Did you have to tell him that?!"

A couple members of the herd chuckled and one of them said assuringly, "It's alright, it's tough around here. Got to get used to it. Where ya from?"

Before Seatra could answer, Kurifu did the honors himself, "She's from the Eastern Plains." He walked away from the edge of the mountains so he could get a better footing. Seatra automatically did the same.

The older stallion nodded then told Seatra, "Aw, so you aren't used to things like this, you're used to a long stretch of smooth grassy land."

Seatra nodded.

Kurifu looked to Seatra and asked, a bit more curious then he was before, "What herd did you say you were from?"

Seatra looked over to Kurifu and answered, "I'm from the Vala Herd.." She was getting a bit more comfortable with this herd, they all seemed nice, despite their rough appearance.

Kurifu shrugged and then a yearling galloped up to him and said playfully, "Well, where to today, Kurifu?!"

Kurifu kicked at the ground in a playful manner and he suggested, "Well, why not just show Seatra around our home?"

The young colt nodded and said with a wink, "You're the boss, Kurifu."

Seatra looked over to Kurifu a bit surprised, "So, YOU'RE the lead stallion?!"

Kurifu answered, with a bit of insult in his voice, "Yes? Is that a problem?"

Seatra shook her head no and then just continued, "You're just kindof young compared to some of the other stallions in the herd.. Why you?"

The elder stallion laughed, amused by Seatra's bluntness and he answered for Kurifu, "We have no finer leader. Kurifu is very intelligent and very strong. He's the perfect leader. Just like his father was."

Seatra nodded, she now understood that Kurifu was a passed down leader. She knew how that was. But she wanted to forget the Vala Herd. She wanted to move on, and now, she just possibly had the chance to make a new home. "What's your herds name, Kurifu?"

Kurifu answered, "Tyba. We're the Tyba Herd." He wanted to avoid anymore awkward statements so he asked in the nicest tone he could, "How about we show you around now?"

Seatra got close to Kurifu and said in a flirtsy whisper, "That sounds lovely." Then she giggled and trotted away, waiting for them to lead the way.

Kurifu rolled his eyes, he had to admit, she had a way of giving him butterflies. But he tried to ignore it. He neighed loudly and reared, informing the herd that they were about to run. And within seconds, the herd began running. They ran in a clomp surrounding Kurifu and Seatra whom was now right by his side. They ran as far as the eye could see. And then some.
