 The sky was clear and Cardinal Alfonse Amadeus could not be more annoyed. The little blue boy Me’urra was currently be broken and drilled by Avalanche which was good because the male was weak and useless, but it meant that no one would be paying attention to Amadeus. Disliking the quite he had already beaten a few of the lower ranking members of the herd into heaps and was now just storming about sulking. His tail flipped a few times displaying his mood. The other members of the herd were staying clear of him knowing how dangerous he was in this kind of mood. Only the stronger higher ranking members of the herd could keep Amadeus in line, but he would live and breathe for them.
His violet eyes scanned the land quickly dismissing most everyone and everything in the herd. Shaking his head he grumbled and started to walk away from the herd. He needed a break of he would offend the higher ups and he disliked being tasked by them.
Sumac watched as Cardinal left the area and followed silently. He was a lower ranking member of the herd and often ordered around by Cardinal. He knew as angry as the other male was he would be even more tiresome to deal with if he didn’t have someone around to carry a message or order if he thought of something he wanted done. He would keep his distance until needed thought. No need to needle the demon if it wasn’t required.

 A white mare galloped south-ward. She had made a deal with a Scarlet Devil. Something about him caught her fancy. What? She was unsure of. Part of her hair flicked into her eyes as she went along, she flicked her neck to get it back. She started to slow down as she sensed others were around. She saw the sign and came to a complete stop. She snorted. Some gentle horse he was. Didn't he know it was proper to greet a lady? She flicked her head again, even giving a flick to her tail. She trotted silently. Perhaps he was deeper in. And if she an into trouble she could handle herself.

Cardinal was still feeling rather put out with everything when he noticed something white moving more south bound. He stood still and watched for a while. Then his memory clicked into place he had met a mare on his short trip up into the neutral lands. Smiling he was surprised she actually took him up on his invitation south. Few would have. Still any mare that was willing to discuss trampling humans was definitely worth looking into. He almost regretted not mentioning this little treat to Avalanche but he honestly never thought anything would come of it. Yet here she was. Smiling he called out. “Hello ago my white rose.” What was her name anyway? He had never bothered to learn it.
Sumac stood still and watched. Cardinal had just called out to a Azerin he had never seen before. Laying down Sumac did his best to stay out of sight. He had known Cardinal to travel north from time to time, but he never realized it could be for anything more than a mission assigned to him. This Azrein that Cardinal called white rose must be something special. This could be interesting.

About time he showed up. "Hello again, Scarlett Devil." He grey eyes give a twinkle as she heard his nickname for her. She chuckled to her self at the 'my' part. But at the moment, she was his. Her tail flicked and let her restless legs stamp the ground. She didn't want to pull anything. "Was your trip home eventful?" She let a smirk play on her lips. He obviously made it back in one piece. She trotted in a small circled around him. "No feathers seem ruffled. Shame." The smirk became evident as she stood in her original spot. Her grey his teasing as well. Yet she went out of her way to trample two squirrels and a rabbit. In the back of her mind she wondered if her white hooves were stained by the act.

Really now where did this little wench get off calling him such an audacious name? He supposed he’d have to take some time and educate her in the matter of matters fairly soon. If she did speak to a member of Six like that she would most likely end up bloodied or dead. Smiling cooly at her he answered her questions. “Well the trip home was mildly eventful and I found a few underlings being a bit too lax in their tasks when I got back, but that’s all be sorted out already. As for my unruffled feathers. Little rose don’t you know hardly anything ruffles me unless I allow it to? I could show you if came closer.” He winked at her and offered her a spot at his side under his wing.
Sumac was in shock he had never once seen this side of the bully Cardinal. It was not only unheard of but so very strange. Was Cardinal on a mission for Avalanche and that was why he was acting like this? It just seemed so strange. Perhaps if he could catch the female alone and talk to her a bit. He peered at her a moment before lowering his head back down out of sight. She seemed like a white sassy mare with red hooves. Was she related to Cardinal at all? Doubtful she had no feathers of any kind and seemed so much … he wasn’t sure what it was, but it wasn’t like Cardinal at all.

"I'll have to remember that." She trotted to his side under the shelter of his scarlet wings. She did not notice the other that slipped away. She merely paid attention to Cardinal and what was in front of her. "So where are you going to take me now? Hmm?" She kept with him as he walked. She was curious about the lands where he lived. Those he lived and so on.

“Well I was thinking I would keep you close and enjoy the moment of silence that I have with you. Then I suppose I need to start introducing you to other members of the southern herd. We have a few new members and a few guests as of late. Now for your safety and my ease of conscious I think I’ll keep you from Avalanche for a while. I won’t be able to keep you forever from him, but his mate Jeppe tends to be a bit insane and jump and beat any others he think get to close to the stallion.”
Sumac kept his head down and was doing his best to keep still. Blinking he kept his breathing steady. He was listening to this now and was surprised where had Cardinal picked her up from?

She nodded. The silence was nice. "Well luckily for them I already have a stallion to be close to." She didn't plan to leave his side anytime soon either. Perhaps she would be the same one day, trampling any other who got too close to Cardinal. A slight smirk played on her lip. Though she wondered how this meeting would go. As for now she didn't have to worry. Her tail flicked, and soon after she flicked her neck to rustle her main.

His eyes narrowed when she admitted to having a stallion to be close to. He gave a slow smile when he realized she was referring to him. He watched her move about. “What’s wrong uncomfortable so far in the south? I know you grew up in the north but despite the rumors not all Azrein down here are as evil as the humans make us out to be.” While that wasn’t quite the truth it was close enough. No harm would come to his little rose while he stood vigil over her. Turning his head he caught sight of white on color. Snorting he shook his head. “Looks like the introductions may as well begin. I promise some quite time after you meet and idiot of mine. My apologies my rose.”
Sumac winced when he heard his full name being called by Cardinal. Standing up he came forward at a calm steady pace not looking the least bit embarrassed at being caught. He stood a respectful distance from the pair and kept his eyes on the ground in front of Cardinal. “Sir?” He knew if he looked up that there would be a small flame in Cardinal’s eyes promising pain to come.

"Hmph, No Azerin scares me." The fact she was shuffling was from something she was keeping from Cardinal. Hopefully he didn't notice her extra girth. Shadow watched closely as the other stallion came to Cardinal. He must have the boy whipped. A small smirk played at her lips. "A personal idiot? Very interesting..." She watched Cardinal closer now. Very curious as how the two interacted.

Clearing his throat he decided to be civil in front of Shadow’s Fear. No need to scare her off so soon. “I find it interesting that when I leave to have some time to myself that I’m followed.” He really just wanted to beat the other male for his actions. He kept his face composed in a mildly amused look. “Yes Sumac Gartha is a member of the herd I associate with and he has become an underling of mine.”
Sumac looked at the mare quietly. His gaze held no anger or really any discernible emotion. He was putting things together. Cardinal made no aggressive gesture like he normally did when he was disobeyed, even if he didn’t give an order specifically. “I thought it prudent to be around if you required anything done.” It was the simple truth and yet he wondered how Cardinal would react to it.

''I see. I am Shadow's Fear." She dipped her head in a bowing fashion. He may be Cardinal's underling but that doesn't mean she had to be rude. She wasn't surprised that he was following them. He did have a decent excuse anyway. She found it rather humorous as well. He was like a dog following his master. She gave an inward chuckle. She wondered if every member had underlings to themselves.

Cardinal would set Sumac straight on a few things in private. Fist thing was that he was never to look at Shadow’s Fear with anything less then protective worship if he looked on her at all. The later was preferable. Sumac also needed a beat down due to his little shadow act of following Cardinal. He sighed and looked at the male. This might be a good chance to get a few things out of the way now, of course he hated to be diplomatic about it. “You will protect her like you would me. She is mine and mine alone. Any threat to her is a threat to me. Deal with it.” The or else was implied in his voice in a tone that his rose wouldn’t know about Sumac would.
Cardinal had gone and gotten mate? His eyes widened slightly and he snorted. Nodding he thought about it. This was Cardinal he might be possessive and jealous but to take one mate was unusual, many stallions didn’t settle down so fast. Was this just a fling and was he showing off for her? Most likely. Still if he didn’t play along then Cardinal would be angry and that would just become atrocious to deal with. “Sir.”

Oh? What was this? Was Sumac there for her to boss around as well? This brought a smirk to her face. The expression on Sumac's face made the smirk more dominant. Shocked was he? She nuzzled his side to show that what he was getting at was true. Cardinal was hers. As she was his. Was this other stallion jealous perhaps? She wondered how protective he would be once he heard the news.

The look on the other male’s face was worth the comment. He’d let Shadow’s Fear boss Sumac around and if the other male showed any hesitation or complaint than Cardinal would just have to teach him a thing or two. The idea brought a smile to his face. Judging from the way Sumac swallowed he understood the implications. This could be amused. He nuzzled his rose’s ears while she stood by him.Any way the other stallion could make his life miserable he took it. Now he’d have to deal with this female ordering him around too? That was just great. He watched her smirk with his heart sinking. No doubt if Cardinal was interested in her that heart that beat in her chest must be black and cold. “A pleasure and privilege to met you Mistress Shaddow’s Fear.”
