.x. lost 'til you're found .x.
Calm and collected the buckskin stallion stood, crown held high though not abnormally so. He was actually quite relaxed, a different approach he was using for the flighty fae standing before him. She glanced at him frantically, visibly just shaken up by the trembling earth from a few moments again. It didn't take long for him to realize it was her that had caused the ground to rumble like it had. It wasn't him, that he was sure of. Nature could have caused this to happen herself, but he somehow doubted it. Plus the lithe femme reeked of an earth elemental, enough for his nares to pick up even with the air thick with the passing rain. Apparently she was just not aware of her the power she possessed, or she thought it wise to remain silent of it. Though he suspected the first.
.x. swim 'til you drown .x.
Karolek decided to leave that conversation for another time, if she staid long enough that is. For he didn't want to push things too much with her, when she was finally showing glimpses of hope. It would be hard to comprehend things if she never knew of the elementals...she didn't need anymore new things entering her fragile mind at this time. Or at least that was what he perceived and thought best for her. The sun started peaking out through the heavy clouds, stripping itself from the last wisps of gray and revealing the bright yellow rays. He felt the heat on his back and lifted his crown upward, fascinated by how quick the weather could change in this time of year.
.x. know that we all fall down .x.
Amber pools glanced downward again, not wanting to be blinded by the sun. They focused on the mare again watching as she slowly relaxed, glimmers of hope in her eyes. A snort entered his perked auds, and he realized it was Alith snorting. At him? For what reason? Questions that would remain unanswered, as his thoughts wandered again. He thought he heard a whimper escape from her maw, though he relinquished the idea. Why would she whimper? Another question he failed to ask. Then where will I go? she questioned, and for a fleeting moment he realized he had asked her if he should leave. It was his land! A small smile creeped upon his lips, oh how he forgot how to think when he was grasping for straws. "Wherever you like, but you can stay stay here if you wish," he responded simply, having no more words to utter.

And I can't turn back now
A L I T H;;
Cause you've brought me too far.
There was not much between her words and his.Alith had no time to ponder the deep thoughts that swam in her troubled mind.She had no time to replay things that haunted her,or her recent happy moments with Karolek.She had no time to gaze off into the distance and wonder why the world is the way it is.For he answered her quickly,and his reply shocked Alith.He was inviting her to stay with him.Not demanding. He did not tell her to stay with him,like she was so used to.He did not command her to live with him and be her slave like she thought a typical stallion would.Of course,he had given her enough proof that he probably was interested in bringing any harm to her,but Alith still couldn't fully grasp that.
But then a small doubt etched its way into her conscious.What if he was fooling her?This whole time,he could have been feeding her lies.What if he really was no different?The mare feared her life might be at stake,and that gave her the courage to ask a question that might give her clues.
A-are there others here?
Was he a hoarder just like those others had been?Karolek could very well be gaining her trust,just so he could steal her away like he had all his other mares,kept silent and hidden from the world.Alith didn't like thinking of him like this..it contradicted the impressions she had of this gentle stag.But all that she was used to...all she had ever been taught.It would make sense if Karolek really was just another one of them.

.x. lost 'til you're found .x.
Thick ebony whipcord lashed out at his hide, the insects now deciding to pester him. They had been absent during the storm, as any sane creature would be. But now that he had been long past they abandoned their hiding places and resumed their bothersome jobs of irritating the warm-blooded mammals. Unfortunately, that included equines. So his fought them off with his powerful cords, ignoring the light sting that he had to endure. It wasn't much really, and it was better then letting the insects suck your blood. He let his mind wander, wondering if Alith was having the same problem he was. But that was a very unimportant matter, and instead awaited her response to his invitation. Would she actually accept it?
.x. swim 'til you drown .x.
Are there others here?, she asked and he perked his auds in confusion. Yes, he had heard that correctly. No, he wasn't being fooled. He tried to comprehend what she might mean by those words, how he should answer them. Of course he would do so honestly, but what was her motive for asking a question as such? More questions, he thought miserably and he let out a slow sigh. He had so many questions, though they really were only trivial matters. Things he shouldn't start to fret about. But he still did, and that he wouldn't be able to stop for some time now. After all, he was King. But he wasn't perfect.
.x. know that we all fall down .x.
"No, not as of yet," Karolek answered, showing no emotion as to if that was a good or bad thing. He thought of it as petty, something that he might even be ashamed of. For what was a king without any followers? Yet again, he wasn't sure what her reasoning on the matter was so he kept his tone natural but emotionless. Only silently hoping for the best outcome. The bugs decided now to attack his face, and he shook his boa wildly to ward them off. He needn't those pestering things to distract him now, she was slowly breaking through her shell and he wanted to watch as it happened.
.x. know that we all fall down .x.
OoC||Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered if you wrote a 2,000 word essay on Alith. I've just lost Karolek muse for the moment...but I cranked something out. Hopefully it doesn't come out complete crap xD.

Cause you've brought me too far.
The mare stood quietly,her boney forelimbs pressed together in an attempt to seem even smaller.Her chest bones protruded out from a scarred layer of skin,and the very tips of her tangled mane tickled her shoulders just above.The after-storm breeze lifted strands of her long tail,and when it changed direction they were plastered to her thin side.But Alith cared not about her appearance now,for she was hanging by a thread over a cliff.Karolek could potentially be offereing her a safe home,something she had never known.That was,if he proved to not be one of them.However,should he be a cruel,heartless stallion,Alith would be forced back into her wandering days,if Karolek did not force her to stay first.It was hard for the alabaster ess to think of him like that,for he had made such a good first impression.But Alith had learned the hard way that no one can be trusted,and that is why she is still skeptical when he answers.
Her heart lifts,and she can breathe again.But the flatness of his tone...there was no emotion to back it up.She couldn't tell what he was thinking,and that scared her.She flinched at his sudden movement,but then his orbs were back on her.Those kind,brown windows to his good soul.She decided to trust him,whatever it may mean for her.
Oh...well then...what is life like..in a real herd?
A real herd,she heard herself say.What did that mean?Didn't she used to belong to one?But if he wasn't like...them,then what must his life be like?The more Alith thought about it,she could not figure out what had made her ask him this.It was too late now,but she was ever curious as to what his answer would be.

The silence felt like it was consuming the calm beast's frame, his auds ever intent on listening to the emptiness that surrounded them. He felt it odd that it was so quiet, yet so loud. A few stray breezes remained and whipped around the two equines and the trees that were few and far between. Even the birds were chirping loudly, happy for the change of weather. Then there were the pesky insects buzzing loudly against his twin harks. But with all this, it was still quiet. Because neither of them were speaking as of yet, and the silence seemed deadly.
.x. swim 'til you drown .x.
Nevertheless Karolek didn't fidget, except the occasional tassel flick or audit twitch that is to be expected. He only stood there, cool orbs wandering over the fae's body, but mostly resting on her face. A face the was scarred with fright, even after all his comforting words and gestures she was still scared out of her wits. Or that's how he perceived it, for what else was he to suspect? He pondered for a moment if he should have thought out his words better, used a more comforting tone. But the past was the past, and for now the only thing that mattered was the future.
.x. know that we all fall down .x.
Lyrics spilled out of Alith's mouth, wafting with the breeze to be intercepted by Karolek's awaiting auds. So she wanted to know how it would be like in a new herd? What had she been in before? Questions that he knew better then to vocalize, so he found the strength to keep them to himself. Instead he took a moment to think up of how to answer that question. It was so simple...yet so unexpected. Silence overcome them again, and even the insects biting at his hide didn't break him of his concentration.
.x. love 'til you hate .x.
"Unfortunately it isn't as interesting as it sounds," he chuckled, for he found it surprisingly difficult to put the answer into words. "It's must less dangerous then becoming a rogue though, I assure you. For one there is never threat of dehydration or malnutrition. This land might not seem full of luscious grass and hydrating streams, though they are here, only hidden from the untrained eye," he continued, though his words weren't the choice ones of the bunch. It seemed to himself he was giving some sort of presentation, not a description. "Most importantly there is protection and company, no one will harm you again Alith," the last few words were spoke in a comforting matter, for that was what he was really trying to say. He was trying to say everything would be okay.

Cause you've brought me too far.
Alith was now lost in thoughts,swimming in a pool so deep she was almost drowning.The potential that hoovered infront of her was such a mysterious thing,and it riveted the mare.To be in a real herd.It was starting to sink into her brainwashed mind,and that only conjured up even more questions.She was afraid that if she opened her mouth they would just spill out in a tangled mass.She tightened her velvets as this thought,and reverted her attention back to Karolek,who was know speaking.He seemed to have as many thoughts bumbling in his head as Alith did,and when he spoke,it couldn't be called a graceful speech.Alith couldn't help but smile slightly as he babbled on,but nevertheless she was captivated by the many benefits herd life presented her with.
His last set left the mare very still and quiet.She stared off,letting his words soak in her auds and they rang and rang.Protection.Such a big word with a strong meaning.Alith was sure enough unfamiliar with what it truly was like to be protected,to not have to worry about being harmed,even by fellow herd members.
Any other fem might be offened by the stallion invading her past,just by inference.But Alith did not think like that,and she was too deep in fantasies about the future.
Oh..I would love to stay here Karolek.. she uttered quietly,turning back to the kind brute.Her words,words that had never been put in a sentence together,had just come from Alith's mouth.The mare with the troubled past and distorted mind.

OoC||Whoops, didn't see your post. I don't have much continual muse for this thread so we can just end it here. Do you have any ideas for Karo/Alith? 'cause you know I don't xD. I'm sporadic...or just not very imaginative xP.

OoC||FWEEEEEEEEEEEE. I actually have an IDEA -gaspith-. Okays, so we can still have Karo + Alith have a foal. I don't care, just let me know. But MY idea is for some reason Alith wanders out of his land, or maybe someone else wanders in. And they're all bad and want to harm her etc. Like the horsies that had her before. And she has her flashbacks and all etc. Karolek finds out sooner or later [most likely sooner since he isn't stupid and will know when she's missing or when someone else is on his land] and a big bad battle will ensue  . I want to show Karo's mean side xD. Okay that is a very rough draft...and it sounded much better in my head. You can fill in any plot holes and details, ahaha xP. So, opinion?

Thats a good idea =D
And you know...Blackwater would be PERFECT for this...but I RP him..=(
We could post it in plots and then maybe someone else can make a charrie to fit this..but yea,this could so work ^-^
Ohh....nother idea xD
They could finally decide(and we could do a time warp on this cause it really would take Alith forever to finally go through with it) to have a kid,and then a big bad stally(who could maybe have a personal connection to Alith) could find out and then like come try to steal it and it could go into this big battle...and yea :D
I typed all that in about 5 seconds...so "/
Just let me know what you think lol
Yay!A plot for Alith p=
