Hmm, I should probably add that in somewhere, It's a secluded valley in the mountains, there is really only one viable & safe pathway in and out of it and that's only open after snow melt in the late spring - hence the herds somewhat sheltered life when it comes to the outside world. It's a rather misty land most of the time with a few small tree groves, a mountain stream/pond, a couple of caves and mountain pathways leading to various grazing lands etc.

Today was going to be a fine day, the stallion could feel it in his bones, the mist still hung thickly but he could already feel the mornings warmth starting to spread and with it the mist would thin. The thinner the mist the easier it was to patrol the herds boarders and guard the path, two things with made Ramiel quite happy. The safer the herd the better tempered he tended to be...especially now what with the foals running about.

thinking of the foals made a warm look flow across his features, he never would have thought being a father would please him so much, he would miss them today as he returned to his more normal routine, they were old enough now that both he and Phae could return to their duties and leave them in the capable hands of the Shepherds - at least for a few hours each day.

Ramiel was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost failed to see the small fawn laying motionless in the misty ground, in fact he nearly trod upon the poor creature before jumping away with a snort. "Blessed child!" He exclaimed "What are you doing out here all alone?" It was quite easy to see who the parents of this particular fawn were - there were only one such pair in the lands and he had heard through the guards that the shadowy blessed had begotten fawns.

Ramiel's features softened as the small fawn finally answered him, it was obvious she was nervous. "Oh, no of course you may explore." He assured the fawn "You are blessed of the Oneiroi and this is your home, it is important to know the land well....though perhaps it would be wise for you to do your exploring in the company of others. It is easy to get lost in the mists." He cautioned her, of course he could also mention the possible perils hidden in the mist but his Champions had reported no such problems and the stallion didn't see a need to further frighten the small creature on what promised to be such a fine day.

Ramiel was a touch unsure what to do now however - he couldn't bring the fawn out on patrol and neither could he leave her here by herself, It seemed that younglings of any species did love to get themselves into these sort of predicaments. In a way the stallion sort of envied them, how wonderful it must be to be learning all about the world for the very first time.

Thankfully it seemed he might be spared attempting to solve this most recent of problems with the arrival of another, the quiet and shy Eir was easily recognized and quite welcome - the soft mare had a way with familiars and he lowered his head to return her greeting. "Greetings Eir, it seems the Oneiroi have shone their light upon all of us this morning, the young one claims to have been out exploring, I have cautioned her about doing so alone" He stated as she stepped forward to speak to the fawn.

Her words on his daughters made the stallions heart swell, indeed they all promised to be wonderful herd members with a great deal in store for them. "Thank you, it is a testament to our fine community that they have blossomed as they have, there were times that I was quite sure their mother and I could not have done it on our own." Being a father had proven to be quite a deal harder then he expected , foals could be difficult and troublesome and tiring..but it had also been rewarding and wonderful, the support of the herd as a whole had been a welcome and helpful support system in the whole endeavor.

Ramiel chuckled slightly at the fawns words "Yes, although somewhat shrouded in mist the herd lands are quite large - I am sure that before too long you will know all there it to know about our home." In a way the young fawn might know more eventually, although Ramiel prided himself on knowing every bit of the land he protected he wasn't foolish enough to think he knew as much as the fawn and her kind whose small stature and agile hooves could take her to far greater heights and smaller ledges then either he or even his winged brethren could ever hope to accomplish.such was the life of a blessed creature, closer to the Gods, more innocent and in a way more free. He might have envied them if he wasn't so pleased with his own life currently.

Turning his attention back to the mare Ramiel nodded "I would be very grateful...I don't think she would do well on patrol with me and her parents would likely chew my ears off for trying." He stated with a laugh, he was well aware that parents - especially when their children were this young - tended to be more then a little bit protective and almost certainly he would get fussed at for dragging her off to patrol for Nightmares...just as he would get fussed at for leaving her alone. It was really a loose loose situation here and Eir was saving him quite a bit of lecturing when he thought about it "I really do appreciate it." He stated again "I don't want to be on the bad side of angry parents."
