There was a rustle in the grass.
A cold wind swept over the hills. Before it lay summer - behind it little but shivers remained. This wasn't the cold of winter, it was something else, something new.
There were few residents of the valley that didn't take notice. Many heads rose, ears flicking nervously, tails swishing. And in the case of the non equine population, small animals scurried into their dens or burrowed down. Larger predators hissed, moving restlessly, agitated without knowing why.
The grass rustled again.
Suddenly a bird shot up out of the bushes. A black lithe shadow leaped after it.
Her fangs bared, eyes only for her prey, the young filly sprung into the air, snapping after the escaping bird. Managing only a mouthful of feathers, she cantered after it - down the hills - as the bird swooped towards the bottom of the valley.
She spit out the feathers discontently. The mare snorted violently as one managed to catch in a nostril. Tickling her, she started shaking her head, trying to dislodge it. But that and running at the same time downhill turned out to be too much - legs crossing she went down, tumbling over and over.
Eventually coming to a stop further down, Hellion took a moment to collect herself before getting back onto her feet. Shaking herself, the feather rose in the air - to slowly drift down, zig zagging gently.
Sharp fangs closed on it with a snarl. The filly attacked the father with murderous intent. The remains showerd down from her muzzle. She gave the offending article a final snort, tossed her head up and set off at a brisk trot for something fun to do - completely oblivious to whatever was alerting the other denziens of the valley.
Hellion Dark, the newest filly at Darklight Stables. Lithe as a panther, this nightmare/kelpie/demon cross is not someone to come across should you be injured, or percieved as weak. Actually, it's probably best not to come across her at all. She's a handful even for those who knows her.
The nightmares and others of similar nature, will be given a special bit of the valley to roam in - so that they don't pose a danger to the rest of our stable. Far to the west, there's a great rift running across a small portion of the valley and mountains, seperating it from the main block with a chasm so deep there is no visible bottom. Unless they suddenly sprout wings...they should be able to lead a free existence there.

This is he. [link]
Thanks!
Sure. I'd love to see what could come out of that - apart from the obvious scratches that is
Your stable sounds really interesting, definately an unusual start
just keep in mind that the foal will be a handful. oh, and that the horns/spikes gene is dominant (have a look at her grandsire Depression by Moonfeather) so something will show up.
Let me know which stallion you choose so I can fav him and put the breeding in my journal
Another handful sounds good.
Eh...which one indeed. I was wondering if you had a preference, as I can picture different foals for each, lol. I'll fix the links (I hope).
Thanks for the heads-up on the links. I've been having a lot of trouble making links work lately...
I take my hat off for you (well I would, if I had a hat
Wish you the best of luck in getting the kind of foal you're after, I'm sure they'd be well looked after (and spikes are great
Pretty sure the stallion will end up being Aurora, as Blaze is gentler than he is...and therefore more likely to be...scratched, lol. Same with Sorrow, as he and his sister were raised from foals...>.<
This will be an interesting foal...I can just see it now O.o.
I did find it interesting that both sides have the extra long legs.
I'm looking forward to seeing it
The breeding pic is done, so I just need to post that and finish the sketch of Hell's Faire as a foal. (That's her name, lol.)
One adult pic upcoming as well.
Thanks - I'm very happy with her. Precisely what my stable needed.
She's the first of the three youngest isn't she? With four older sisters like that, it's a lot to live up to
I do hope that Quoth is suitably satisfied with her choice of stallion. I'm certainly going to keep my eye out for her next foals, to see what they'll be like
and
I'm sure it wont be long - she's an impressive mare. And it's been a lucky thing to find such good 'homes' for her offspring - so to speak
