~The Claim~

Shetan galloped across the desert. He ran on the pass through the mountains and entered the valley. He slid to a stop and reared to his full height and screamed a challenge into the air. No answer. He was the only stallion here. With a satisfied snort he landed on all fours and pawed at the ground, neighing to all the residents of the land, claiming it as his own.

Shetan galloped back into his home and looked around. Nothing had been disturbed. He cantered in a circle then calmed down and waited for his new mate

Stormy cantered in after him and looked around. "It's beautiful here," she said

Shetan nuzzled his mate "Yes, it is," he said, happy that she liked it here

Stormy nuzzled him back and released her scent

Shetan smelled the scent and walked to her rump, asking

Stormy~I flick my tail to the side and brace myself

Shetan~I mount and breed her, then get off, nuzzleing her neck

I nuzzled him back happily

I looked up at the sky as the stars were beganing to come out. I nuzzled my mare again

Stormy~I nuzzle him back and also look up at the sky. I yawn and then laugh. "I think I'll be going to turn in for tonight,"

I smile at her. "I think I will too," I walk over towards the side of the mountain and walk into a cave. at the back there was a clear, freshwater spring, and grass grew inside of it. "Here?" I ask my mare

I look around, "Sure," I say and lay down in the soft grass, sighing happily

I smile and lay down by her, drapping my head over her back. I close my eyes

I fall asleep

I fall asleep
