It had been a long time since Taoh had ventured anywhere public and it created a since of slight paranoia, his last adventure hadn’t gone so well. He preferred to stick to the mountains, his gray dappled coat blended into the snow better there. He had been wandering so long on his own that he wasn’t entirely sure how to interact anymore, however something was telling him it was time to set out in search for a herd. It was the onset of spring and there was crisp warmth in the air, the birds had come out, and life was blooming around him. The sun was beginning to peak up over the mountains and he could feel its warmth bouncing off of his wings. You could see his story written on his body, highlighted by scars on his sides and back; the foolishness of a young stallion, the fire had done more damage than he cared for and it was another reason he preferred the snow. He was smarter now, and more careful, he planned to do things differently. He wanted to find a home; somewhere he could bring his herd and raise children.
Taoh was a large stallion, but his horn and wings provided some defense and added some bulk to his lean muscled body. As he made his way through the trees to the creek to the base of the mountain you could see his ears flickering in all different directions, it was better to remain alert than to be caught by surprise. He stopped for a drink, his breath making ripples in the water. His mane was matted, falling in dreads down his neck and shoulders, almost long enough to catch the top of the water. He wondered who he would bring with him to his new home and hoped that he would be more successful this time. He was lean and muscled, he had good endurance, and this was the perfect time physically and mentally. There was a crack in the trees behind him, startled, his head flew up and he whipped it around, his horn glinting in the light. He snorted and then noticed a deer, it was just a deer, but it was enough to make him uncomfortable. Realizing it was time to move on he stepped through the shallow gurgling water of the creek and began to make his way to the meadow, deciding he should steak his claim on a few mares and then take them back to his home, being out like this made him uncomfortable and he decided that he didn’t want to be here too long.
It was then he noticed a mare, standing in the water, he noticed she had the most beautiful green eyes. Intrigued he approached, it was then he noticed the other mares surrounding her, amazonian by his assumption. “Always tracking down new recruits.” He thought exasperatedly. He wasn’t even entirely sure he had a chance. On his way to the creek he noticed a circle of ash, and the chars on the side of this new prospects body.
Upon his approach he dipped his horn, nickering deeply, “I can handle a little fire; ‘Names Taoh, what can I call you?”
Deep down he knew how cheesy he sounded, it had been a long time since he’d approached anyone, his last trait obsessed fling had done damage, he had raised his son after her disappointment at his lack of traits, he hoped this mare was more compassionate, but only time would tell. He nodded in the direction of the other mares, barely giving them notice. That’s all that they would get from him, he wasn’t here to fight, if she didn’t want to come with him, he didn’t have to.
