[atrb=background,http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z324/trynxie/Table%20Parts/aphroditemiddle.png] Her heart was shattered but she was slowly putting the pieces back together. She missed her home, Hidden Cove so much and most of all her mate, Bayn. She really wished he'd just appear like he always used to. She looked around her surroundings. She was standing on the bank of the Oasis, her hooves buried in sand. Her son was out looking for a nice shelter. He had suggested she come with him but she felt like just enjoying the sun and scenery for once. She soon found that the more she stood though, the harder it was to not think about Bayn. She peered across the deserted waters. Why couldn't he have just came home? notes; i did this real quick... I hadn't noticed Spring ends tomorrow O=

[bg=5e8b85][atrb=border,0,table][atrb=width,550,table] Bayn had only just returned to the land of MUSTANG. Upon his return he had found his land stolen from him, by a stallion with a name that he did not know. The dappled grey stud didn't have to motive to fight for it back, instead he decided that he would just leave it as it was. He felt as if he was letting Mars down, but perhaps the late painted stallion would be able to understand. A sigh escaped the brute as he continued to walk throughout the lands, just skirting the boundary of Superb Beach. Besides, the mares that he had led didn't really look up to him that much anyway. He snorted softly, remembering how his father, now sixteen, told him that it was time that he went off on his own again, and his younger half brother went along with him. Ears flicked as an eagle swooped down and flew level with the stallion. Bayn nodded his head in acknowledgement for the brown Steppe Eagle, Skart, screeched his words. My lord, are you not going to fight for your land?" The accented eagle spoke flapping his wings once or twice as the stallion moved into a jog and crossed the lands into the oasis. Bayn nickered his reply. "Dearest Skart, I don't believe that that road is for me anymore. I have led for three years, it is time for me to move on." The stallion decided to head to the oasis' water for a quick drink. He slowed to a walk, gazing around his surroundings. This would be the last he saw of MUSTANG, that is unless someone stood in his way. Skart screeched again and landed on his lord's back. "Sir, look." Bayn stopped and shifted his gaze until it rested on a familar buckskin frame. "Aprodite!" The stallion called, not sure if it was her at first. But it just had to be. He couldn't forget that beautiful frame. The former alpha lengthened his stride towards the mare and reached forward to noses with the mare, but hesitated and stepped back. What if she was angry with him for not coming back? He flicked his tail and shifted his gaze downwards, boy did he feel guilty.

[atrb=background,http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z324/trynxie/Table%20Parts/aphroditemiddle.png] The mare, still looking desperately, gazed around. Her heart took almost a lethal jump in her chest. She spotted a grey stallion across the sands. Was it just a mirage? The only horse she had seen these past days were her son, Percy, and this stallion was not him. Her mind, already pondering Bayn, went straight to thinking; hoping it was him. She could hear voices... yet there was only one horse. Was she going crazy? She hesitated. She wanted to call out his name, just to see if it was him... but what if it was just her mind playing tricks on her? She would not want Perseus to come back and find his mom, a lunatic. Aphrodite bit her lip, waiting. What for? The stallion to yell her name? She didn't have to wait long though. There was the other voice and then a silence as she could make out the grey stud's head turning towards her. What if he wasn't a mirage and it was a different stallion than Bayn? She was just a vulnerable mare in the middle of no where. The stallion yelled something. She could hardly make it out with the loudness of her blood pounding in her ears, but she thought the stallion had said, Aphrodite. With that the stallion took off at full flight towards her. She was stuck to the ground, with glue, it felt like. She just watched as he ran towards her. Her lips felt like ice. She couldn't move them to speak. As the grey stud grew closer and closer, she could make out his details. His blue eyes. Bayn, she felt like calling out just as he reached her and they touched noses, but she couldn't speak; she was in shock. Suddenly, Bayn moved away. She didn't want him to... She wanted him to stay with her. He let his gaze fall. She guessed she should be mad at him... but she couldn't help it. Her happiness for his return out did her anger. She stepped forward; she first movement since she saw him again and whispered, "I'm not mad." Suddenly she spotted a bay speck in the distance. She couldn't help smiling at the sight of her son. He just had to be so happy that his father had returned! Percy met his mother's eyes. Then he looked upon the grey stallion's that were beside her. His stomach filled with rage, almost instantly. It irrated him how much his mother was forgiving, but he also understood, for he had inherited that trait from her... but how could she forgive his father, who had left them to fend for themself? The bay colt took off at full gallop, reaching them at a blinding pace. He slowed himself in front of his mother and turned to bare his teeth at his father."how dare you show up!" Aphrodite stepped towards her son and hissed, "Leave him alone, Percy." Percy turned his head to look at his mother in disbelief. "Aphrodite Talk" "Percy Talk" notes; omg didn't even notice this thread!

[bg=5e8b85][atrb=border,0,table][atrb=width,550,table] The former alpha stallion's heart eased when the mare informed him that she wasn't mad at him. Although he felt as though she should be. He had left his family when they needed him the most. A sigh escaped his lips as he felt his avian companion watching him from his perch upon his silver back. The dark dappled grey stud raised his head, his blue gaze shifting away for a few moments before turning to look back at his mate. "I apologize for my leave of absence. My brother went missing, so I went to look for him. Alas, when I found him, I didn't like what I found. Trust had been murdered by a rogue stallion, I managed to avenge his death however." The dappled stallion turned his frame slightly to reveal the glistening wound on his barrel from the fight. Ears flicked forward when he spotted a young colt shout somethign at him. Bayn narrowed his eyes, recongizing his son. "By the time I returned, a stallion had already taken over Hidden Cove. I looked for you Aphrodite, but alas you had already gone. I was on my way out of this land entirely, but alas I found you here. Although, I'm not entirely sure that you still want me here." The stallion stood around sixteen hands, and he was well at his mature age of six, his frame had matured into quite a handsome stallion with scars here and there. Now it was time for Bayn to turn his attention to his son. Although Skart beat him to it. The eagle screeched at the young colt before speaking "Youngster, how dare you show disobedience to your father? My lord has been a great leader, and you speak such words? Such ignorance." Bayn's ears flattened and he found himself speaking "Skart, I can handle my own problems at the moment. Perseus, I apologize for my disapperance. But I have returned. You must know that there are stallions out there who refuse to ever return to their familes. Respect my decision to return to you son." He put the words simply, his blue gaze staring into the colt's own eyes, daring the colt to step out of line again.

[atrb=background,http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab360/GREYtheFLAILER/PerseusTablemiddle.jpg] Percy stood his ground, waiting for his father's words, but instead the bird spoke. Youngster, how dare you show disobedience to your father? My lord has been a great leader, and you speak such words? Such ignorance Percy didn't exactly like the bird at the moment. He didn't understand... His father, whom he had wanted to be like had left him to care for his mother without any warning. He didn't care that he went looking for his dead brother. He should have given them some warning that he was leaving. His father spoke almost immediately, his ears laid back. Skart, I can handle my own problems at the moment. Perseus, I apologize for my disapperance. But I have returned. You must know that there are stallions out there who refuse to ever return to their familes. Respect my decision to return to you son. Percy found himself shaking his head. "Yes, I reckon that there is other stallions out there that wouldn't return... but your different," he sighed, "Or at least I thought you were different until you left me alone to care for her," Percy threw his head in his mother's direction. She was standing wide-eyed, staring at her son. "She was devastated, you know! You don't understand how I felt... You, my father, left me." Percy suddenly felt broken. He'd never spoken to horses older than him like this. He usually had a lot of respect. The eagle was right. He shouldn't have gotten out of term. His blue eyes stared into his father's still though. Aphrodite stepped forward slowly. "Son... Come here," she spoke softly. Her eyes went to Bayn's, and she stopped. Percy didn't move from his position of staring at his father. notes; i luv his table <3

[bg=5e8b85][atrb=border,0,table][atrb=width,550,table] The stallion listened to his son's words, and that caused a memory to replay within his mind. He remembered a time, five years in the past, when he had lost his mother. Then a young colt, he had been left to fend for himself, that is until his father rediscovered him. Bayn closed his blue eyes, embracing the memory as if it was an old friend. Those experiences made him who he was today. Moments passed and his eyes flew open, a new fire burning in their icy depths. "Perseus. I do understand you. When I was your age, my mother disappeared without a single word, leaving me to fend for myself. I was lost and confused, but alas my father finally found me. Those experiences made me into who I am today. Being seperated from someone I had devoted my life too made be stronger. So, don't stand around and complain about me not being here. Don't linger in the past, look to the future." The stallion steadied his gaze on the colt's refusing to lift his gaze. The Steppe Eagle nodded in modest approval of his lord's words, but alas said nothing. "I am your father, and alas I do not have to prove myself to you. I love you, for you are my flesh and blood. You are a part of me, just as much as I am a part of you. You and I are one in the same." The older stallion's words were heartfelt, at least to him. He lowered his head only slightly so that he could look his son better in the eyes. "I wouldn't waste my breath by saying all of this. Each thing you a part of is a lesson learned. You've become stronger since my absence. You were able to protect your mother, when alas I could not. That, my son, is something to proud of. Don't unleash your anger out on me. And don't bottle it up either. Turn that anger into passion for the life that you will lead in the future." Bayn raised his head after his speech, his words rang with authority, yet in their depths rested compassion and care. Silver tail flicked across his strong flanks as he carried his gaze over his family. "We are family. I'd die before I leave you two ever again. I love both of you with all of my existence. I may have lost my right to Hidden Cove, but that doesn't mean that I won't be able to keep us together." Bayn dipped his handsome, dished head in earnest respect to both the former prince and queen of Hidden Cove.
