Taja ran through the open feild as her hair blew in the wind. "Sweet sweet paradise!" she yelled into the wind. Taja slowed down to a trot and looked around. She took in a deep breath and let it out gently. "This is the greatest feeling in the world; to feel so peaceful and free." she said as a grin crossed her muzzle.

Scythe lay in the field, his large wings open, catching the sun as the beams shone down in the noon skies. His eyes were closed, but he was listening to the steady movements of his friend Shilo.
"What are you doing?" he asked without opening his eyes.Shilo stopped for a moment and looked around, "Me?" "Yes you, who else is here?" She bounded over and crawled up onto Scythe's side. "I was chasing a bug or two, but I'll stop." She twitched a bit, her eyes catching site of another flying insect.

The breeze caught it and spread it everywhere. Yes... but then again everything seemed to draw it about him like a cloak. Thick and tangy as if you could drink it down and it would be sweet on your toung. Oh how he hated it!! This accursed scent that floated around him and lingered on everything he touched. He lowered his head as he made his way into the open land, his head down so he wouldn't catch his horn on those final branches. That was realy the last thing he needed. He had grown so much in these past few days. He was now tall and strong enough to make his father and grandfather proud, a full grown stallion whom his mother told him he would grow to be.
Yet he was grumpy. Not at their pride, or his mothers joy. but at that damned smell. How was he supposed to be a warrior against the comeing evil.. that wich his grandfather so gravely warned him, if everywere he went smelt like fruit salad? What was he going to do, make them turn and run for lunch? for half of the he WAS lunch.
He paused as he entered the fuilt... it was crouded for so early in the morning. large winged stallion with the face of a kalona... but with large wings that could rival his friend ravens.... And a little maroon mare who frolicked with such joy as if she were witnessing her first light of day. He scanned the area with red eyes and stayed silent for a moment longer, curiouse as if he had interupted something.

Taja stopped in her tracks as she noticed two stallions. I'll go up to them..... They can't be bad... right? she thought to herself as she walked closer to them. Taja stomped her right foot on the ground to get their attention. "Who are you two?" she said in a stern voice. She took another deep breath. I hope the won't hurt me... I'm out numbered and they are much larger than I. she continued to think. "What is it you want?" she continued to ask in a stern voice. Taja sniffed the air and smelt oranges. I love oranges. she thought as a small smile came across her muzzle.

Scythe had been so wrapped up in sunning and talking to Shilo that he didn't realize that there were, not one, but two other soquili in close proximity to him.
As soon as he heard the stomp and the demanding demenor of words, his eyes quickly opened as he rose to his feet, his wings fluttered quickly shaking debris off before he tucked them in to his body. He didn't realize that his quick movements had tossed Shilo to the ground.
"I'd ask you the same, ma'am. I was minding my own in this part of the field." He was confused as to what she might be accusing him of.
He turned to look at the stallion that had quietly approached. He didnt' look like danger, but, looks had deceived him before. Scythe eyed the male, his ears angled back as a warning that he wanted no trouble.
"Are you with her?"
Shilo squeaked as she fell from Scythe's side. She landed with a hard "Omph!". She scurried to her feet and ran between Scythe's back legs. She too had been too occupied chasing insects to realize that she had failed as a lookout. She peered out towards the mare...then the stallion...
"Oranges!" Shilo quickly forgot that these were strangers and her small blue body bounded towards Melancholy. She would hardly have been able to be seen through the tall grass. "Hey!" she tapped his hoof, "HEY!"

Melancholy looked solemn. Red eyes peaceful and somber all at the same time. " I was about to ask you the same thing... " He said, voice quiet and collected. He raised an eyebrow as the little critter scampered up to him. Damnit there was that damned word again.... Oranges. He loved his mother dearly but why had she givein him this curse?!
He lowered his head down to his hoof, looking at the little blue body curiously " Yes little one? " His head was lowered enough to were he could make eye contact but not so low as to were he could not see the other two creatures in the feild. Not that he didnt trust them it was just.... they hadent earned trust yet. Two very different things.

Taja got closer to where the oranges smell was coming from. "Is that you who smells like oranges?" she asked the black stallion. "I'm Taja.... And no I'm not with him." she said as she looked from the two, her gold eyes flashing from the sun hitting them. "I was just wandering around.... And then you two showed up.." she said still not sure if they were something to be afraid of or not.

Shilo was a little blunt and a little insane at times, she looked up at the large stallion who was nose to nose with her almost. She reached out quickly grabbing him by his nostrils with her small paws.
"Where are the oranges?!" she demanded as she pulled his nose a bit.
"Shilo!" Scythe took a few steps forward, ready to defend her if he needed to. "What are you doing! he thought to himself.
"Shilo! Let go of him!" He demanded and stomped his large hoof on the ground. "He doesn't have any oranges, it's him." Reasoning with Shilo had never been easy.
She peered up at the stallion with curious eyes, "You have no oranges?"

Melancholy was starteled and took a step back,raiseing his head quickly, raiseing little shilo into the hair. He blinked and looked at her, then started to laugh. This was the first time he had ever been amused by his scent... normaly it just irritated " Actualy i do! " he said, his voice laced with laughter and good humor " With the little critter dangeling from his nose he turned his head untill he could rest her on his back and then used his horn to point to the decal on his flank, still chuckeling ' Though they might be a little dissapointing '
Shilo reminded him very much of the little racoon sleet he had met a few times... only this little one seemed to at least speak wich made things alot easier on him. He gave a grin to the other two and walked forward slowly so as not to fling shilo. " But you are right, its just me. I have smelt this way my whole life... intierly my mother doing " he said, soundeing a little down trodden at the statment.

Taja laughed at the events that were taking place. She layed down on the ground and rolled around still laughing. This is turning into a funny day. she thought to herself.

Shilo squeaked as the stallion lifted her from the ground, but she settled quickly once he let her down onto his back. She scampered down his spine until she could see the coloration that he pointed to.
"You do have oranges!" She pawed at them, realizing they weren't real. "But..." Her head tilted, "I can't eat those!" She looked a little disappointed as she rode along on Meloncholy's back as he neared the others.
Scythe looked down to Taja, then over to Melon. "You'll have to forgive her...Shilo's....." He couldn't think of a good excuse.
"She not very smart sometimes."
He was embarassed. Thankfully, neither the mare nor the stallion seemed to truely mind her actions.
"Well," Scythe looked over to Melon, "There are worse things she could have had you smell like." He offered a friendly smile.

Melancholy chuckled " I Suppose your right, but i wouldn't have minded not smelling like anything at all to be honest. " he said with a grin " I know little one im sorry. If i come across a real oranges ill be sure to bring one for you " He flicked his eyes to the mare rolling around in laughter and grinned, before turning back to the stallion, his whole demeanor seeming to have simmered down to a relaxing calm. " Dont worry, I have come across those far worse then her. Shes... cute " He said, guessing that was the right word.
( sorry for the small reply guys )

Taja got up as she stopped laughing. "Cough Cough." she said as she looked down and then back up to the stallions. "I'm sorry for that..." she said as she looked at the little 'thing' scampering around. "What is that?" she asked looking down at it. ((It's ok. xD I'v done the same thing.))

"You mean there's worse?" He looked over to Shilo and laughed.
Shilo just stopped and blinked at Scythe for a moment.
"...Oh. HA HA HA." She crossed her small arms and glared. "Funny."
She turned, looking up to Melon, "Yes yes, oranges for Shilo!" She smiled and patted him quickly, "Don't forget!"
Scythe turned to face Taja, he laughed as she regained her composure. "That's Shilo"
"I'm not a 'What', I'm a 'Who', thank you very much!" Still sitting on Melons rump, she sat up on her own back haunches and chittered at the mare. "And, I happen to be a ferret." She took offense to the 'thing' comment.

Melancholy grinned and chuckeled. " I wont little one " He looeked back at the little ferret, trying to sooth her hurt feelings at being called a "that" " Well hello there Shilo, I do not belive i have ever met a feret, My name is Melancholy " He looked to the other two horses " Now might who you two be? " He asked as he turned red eyes back to the other horses.
He swayed his lions tail, slow and languid. A very feral movement for one who acted so well mannered and soft spoken.
