Damnit, Raxa really hated the big cat family. All of them, not just a single one. She'd seen a lot of them in her travels, and while she hadn't been attacked by every single one, it'd been pretty damn close. The mare cursed a colorful string as she limped along the border of the Falls kingdom, having covered her section early that day so she could get an early start tomorrow out to the battlefield and see who would be up for a fight.
But no, that big cat just had to make an appearance today. Raxa's keen senses helped her sense the great predator, but today, not all of her reflexes had been fast enough. Which is why, today, she was limping home, a rather nasty looking cut on her hindquarter. She was sure it looked worse than it was, since the injury didn't feel deep enough to have severed any muscles or something else important. Didn't mean it didn't hurt like hell though, cause it sure did.
Doing her best to ignore the burning pain in her rear, the mare snorted a couple of times to get some dirt out of her nostrils that had accumulated there during her scuffle with the big cat. Once that was done, she lowered her head, settling for a quiet walk back to the grove she often stayed in at night when she felt tired enough to actually get some decent sleep.
Unless the nightmares came back, but then again, she never knew when they would. She'd take sleep where she could get it.
Raxa's blue eyes caught something in the peripheral; she looked up, seeing a mare hurry away from her and toward the forest within the territory. Puzzled, flicking an ear, Raxa looked back to where the mare seemed to have come from. In the distance, she spotted three horses; a grulla filly, another filly with a dark coat (Raxa couldn't make it out for certain), and...
Was that Jedi?
The brindled roan did a double-take, wondering what the stallion was doing with two fillies. Her mind flashed back to the mare she'd seen hurrying away; were they hers perhaps, and Jedi was watching them while she went to take care of something?
Whatever the case, it wasn't Raxa's business. She also didn't want others fussing over her, so she began to limp a little down the hillside, hoping it would be enough to block her from the eyesights of the stallion and two fillies.
