I come in peace(shuffle)

Toga had promised his love he would make this happen and he was, large hooves carried him across the lands, white feather ruffling in the wind as his long wavy forelock hung over his orbs. He was doing this for his tiny family and for the fact to prove that he could be a valuable asset for any herd. He had asked Georgia where this place was before he had left her again in a safe and protected place and soon enough he was greeted by vines and thick trees and humidity. Which didn’t bother him one bit, he instantly saw the value of this land and everything it had to offer, including protection. He came to a stop and called out to the lead, “Koda I have come to talk to you about becoming a part of this herd so I may be with Georgia and my foal, whom I both love. I have come to ask to be beta and help you protect these lands.” With that he waited hoping he wouldn’t get his head bit off.

He had been making rounds, assuring himself that the lands were safe for Ilene and Aspen when the sounds of a strange horse weaved through the trees. He felt anger rise in his body. This was the stallion everyone had been trying so hard to talk him into welcoming. Now, here he was, trespassing in his territory. Auds snapped against his skull, and he set off at a thundering pace, weaving in between the trees. He followed the strange scent, and stopped several yards away from the other stag.

His legs stiff, his body tense, eyes flashing ice, he was the picture of rage. How dare this stallion step onto the lands of another in which he knew he was not welcome? He couldn't believe the gall. "I have told Georgia that you are not welcome here, and yet you step foot into my lands anyway?" He voice shook with rage. He couldn't believe this. "She is free to come and go as she pleases. I am not holding her hostage. I have told her that she is welcome to stay, and she is welcome to go. But you are not. If you want her around so bad, I suggest talking to her about leaving my lands permanently and spending her days by your side. But you will not be living here."

This was unbelievable. He was not going to be bullied into sharing his lands with an unknown stag. Just because Georgia had stepped past the fine line of trust did not mean he was going to welcome the father of her foal into his lands. He was not going to reward betrayal with good behavior.

Toga bowed to the stallion as he approached and listened to him, which were rather harsh words but he still gave Koda another respectful bow before he turned and walked off the lands, stopping. “Very well I will let her know and she will make the call, she had more faith in you but I guess you just let her down.” With that he turned a picked up a trot with his head held evenly he wasn’t going to let this get him down, to heck with this stallion he would find his mare a home with someone who wanted his help and loyalty, which was made clear that Koda did not want. With that final thought he disappeared from the stallions view to return to his love.

The stallion's words angered him beyond belief. This whole situation was beyond ridiculous. The mare steps out on him, and somehow he ends up the bad guy with everyone. If that was how it was, then so be it. He would be the bad guy. All he had ever wanted was a land, and some mares that he could love and that would love him back. But, somehow, somewhere along the line, he had become the piece of shit that let down the mare that had let him down. Of course, he chose not to reply to the stallion, and let brute leave his lands.

But he was angry. Very angry. His front hooves stomped the ground in unison, leaving a pair of prints an inch thick. How dare the stag come into his lands and treat him so disrespectfully. He wanted to destroy something. He had never been a violent guy, but this was crazy. He had earned a bad reputation without doing anything. To hell with it. He could show them bad guy, if that was what they wanted so bad. Might as well be what they saw him as.
