[.Once in Awhile....]
"So as I told you before, I decided to check out the herdlands with Ignatius. On the way we did get to try out hunting as a team, though I suppose it'll take some work until we're completely comfortable with each other. It was a good meal nonetheless, and my belly shouldn't have anything to complain about for a very long time. Which is for the best, despite what all my friend has told me about the Hellenes, I doubt even they would be able to stomach the sight of me gorging myself with the flesh of some animal. Ick. And don't get me started on rodents. I'd hate to be found snacking on those tasteless little bags of bone and fur, if anything it'd be an embarrisment.
Anyway, we arrived in the herdlands and our conversation consisted of some interesting points about the herd. I'm not too fond of honorifics, but I'm willing to use them provided I'm accepted by its members. It'll do me good to be around some people that don't automatically flee, ignore, or attempt to chase me off just because of the way I look. Though I suspect if I have trouble with that, I probably won't be in too much trouble if I defend myself, what with the herd being made up of warriors and what not.
Ignatius is a very interesting creature, and I enjoy spending time with him. Its as if he had never left the beach in my opinion, as if our friendship grew and survived over the time apart. I've never really had a friend in my adult life, so I'm very happy about this. Oh! The subject of mares came into the conversation, and I think it would be the most entertaining thing in the world if we both happened to have foals around the same time. The herd just may very well swell with meat-eating nequus! It may disturb others, but hey, I don't thinkg ANY other herd out there wants to mess with a bunch meat eaters, now do they? Admittedly though, that'd be pretty boring. I'm actually kinda looking forward to fighting, and sparing, and all that good stuff that goes on. Still, it couldn't hurt to have a reputation like that.
That's it for now, I'm on my way to checking out the rest of the herdlands with my friend, and seeing about joining up however I can."

[.Judgement.]
"Sometimes I just need to reflect on my decisions, though that's a difficult process and I'm prone to getting frustrated after awhile. As I've said before, I was looking for a fight whilst I flew to Yisi, and now seemed like the best time to get one. Course once I get offically accepted into the herd of the Hellenes, I won't have to worry about going off to find one. They have a sparring arena, and I'm pretty psyched about putting it into use.
Along my way I happened upon the one dumb idiot who I wasn't happy about fighting. She even called me Beaky, which irritated me to no end. Mecriana, a Jala mare who had been introduced to me through Aitumn, just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Though I did get my fight from her, and I won, but it was a hollow feeling and left me rather annoyed afterwards.
She was somewhat attractable I suppose, for an air-headed b***h, and she got huffy when she saw me staring at her. Its one thing to be rejected, its another to be rejected on the grounds of my talons, beak, and feathers. People like this really get under my skin, and I would have loved to rip her throat out if she wasn't Aitumn's good friend. I'd rather like to keep him in good graces, it seems that I don't come across many respectable folk very often. This is it for now, I left her to think about what she did. Hopefully that's the last I'll see of her."

[."YES." "No." "UGH!".]
"Ever since I ran into Mecriana again and I defeated her in a fight she has not stopped pestering me. Every day I get time off from my duties with the hellenes, she's there to bother me and gode me into a rage. I don't know why, and I really don't give a damn about it, but for some reason she's intent on making my life a living hell.
So today, she was bugging me and I happened to throw a kick in her direction, and some ungainly aeri mare pushes her nose into my business and decides I'm the evil piece of drek because I threw a kick at a mare. Where the drek does she get off telling me something like that? Sure, its not polite, but neither is biting me, which Mec tends to do whenever she can. Oh don't get me wrong, I gallop away, or fly, or just generally try to get out of Mec's company but she always follows me! Even when I chase her away she's there the next day! Why have the gods cursed me with this unbearable mare by my sides?!
I'm honestly pondering staying within the Hellene territories for the rest of my days, for Mec, thankfully, won't go anywhere near the border. Even she's not dumb enough to do so... I hope. At least not yet anyway. Only problem is there's really nothing to eat in the territories without getting some gawking looks by my fellow herdmates. I don't see that plan going well at all.
Anyway back to today. I found out the mare's name is Amari, and she's traveling with a bae named Xavier. Now I don't really give a drek about Amari, but Xavier was pretty cool to talk to. He thought my talons were awesome, which isn't something you hear everyday, and we talked about fighting and generally things stallions talk about. Eventually I decided to call him a friend, but slipped out of his company when I thought Mec wasn't paying attention.
Unfortunatly for me, she was, and she followed me until I got right back to the hellene territories where she happened to disappear out of my sights. Ugh, I don't know how much more of this I can stand."

[.Feelings of Anxiety.]
"You remember that pumpkin coated mare that showed up when Aitumn first did? Well guess who I ran into today, none other than the disgusting creature who called me monster and freak. Well she pulled the same drek she did the other time, and I thank my lucky stars I got to fight with her about it today. If only I had been able to pound her head into the ground, maybe that would get the message across that I don't like being messed with. I don't know what it is with me and black-coated mares, but they apparently don't give up on bugging me.
Well... okay, Mecriana is actually really sweet now but that's not the point! I seem to attract this kind of biggoty mare where ever we go. To tell you the truth, I did something really revolting today that I regret now. I ate nequus flesh. Not a lot! Just a little bit... the bit I tore from her hide during our fight. Unfortunatly it had some wonky side effects and I'm still not feeling all too sane or well right now. But the good thing is I scared her away with that tactic, and I'm hoping I'll never have to be bothered by her again.
I'm off to see Mecriana now, we almost always meet up on my days off now, but I never hunt in front of her. I have a feeling that might scare her away, and I don't want to do that. Do you know how many mares are intersted in me? Just her, just this once, and I want to get it right."

[.Something Other.]
"I got that rumbling feeling in my stomach, you know the one that just won't leave you alone and keeps getting louder until everyone around you starts noticing it as well? Not exactly a tactful thing to do when you're a known meat-eater and its your herdmates that happen to over hear the little noise. Now luckily for them, I'm not a cannibal, so I took my leave as soon as I was able to and went chasing down dinner. Rabbit. Perfect sized meal for a hungry... er... well I'm not sure what I am. I'd say nequus, but normal nequus don't exactly feast on the flesh now do they?
Anyway, I was just about to dig in when I noticed I had company, a rather fearful bae that happened to notice the kill in between my talons. You can imagine how an encounter like that may go, but the little fellow actually surprised me when he decided to talk. His name is Athiran and he was looking for the ocean, in which I pointed him in the right direction and wound up answering all the silly little questions that happened to pop up in his head.
Okay, so it could have been better, but it most assuredly could have been worse than that. After parting ways I decided the little guy rather amused me, and I wouldn't mind meeting him again if we happened to cross pathes once more. Hopefully I won't be eating at the time, but you can never tell when someone will happen to pop out at you next. I'm done eating now, so I suppose I should make my way back to the hellene territories."

[.Welcome.]
"Today's spar took quite a bit out of me, the fellow I happened to choose as my partner was very skilled, and very quick. Now I'll say I have a few advantages on my side, mainly my talons, but I was hard pressed to keep up with this guy and all his blows. Luckily it ended in a draw, but if it had gone on for much longer its very likely that I would have lost to him. Not that I would be too angry over that fact, for as I said he was skilled and much faster than I happen to be. After said spar I wandered away to go catch my breath and rest up before the next match, hopefully something in the air would be prominant. I know its good to practice ground combat as well as arial, but as part of the alpha force I need to keep my flying technique sharp.
You'll never believe who I happened to catch a conversation with on my way to rest. Meleager-hallah, the herd leader over the entirity of the hellenes! I've met him very briefly before, when I decided to join the herd, but I never really got to speak with him at length and this was such a great opportunity to do so. The reya surprised me, he wasn't like many of the other herd leaders I've met or have heard about, and I got the impression he didn't just sit on the side-lines when the herd was in trouble. Oh no, this guy was fit and had a warrior's body, which made me respect him quite a bit.
Even more so, our conversation was pleasant and I didn't feel to awkward around him despite his status. I don't know if that's just because I'm not use to being in a herd, or if he's really that easy to talk to, but all in all I rather enjoyed his company. On another note, he agreed to help me find my place in the herd. You see, I want to do so much more for my herdmates seeing as how they can accept me with how I look. Truely, I am happy to have joined the hellenes."

[.Just a Little Bit Different.]
"Its not too often that I jam my talons into rocks, but when I do it really hurts. I guess that a disadvantage to not having hooves like regular nequus, from what I could gather they really feel no pain unless some severe like splitting down the middle hurts a hoof. Unlike my talons. You see, they're thick skinned, but definatly not pain resistant. Hopefully known of my enemies will ever figure that out, I can garuntee that wouldn't end well for me. Ah, yes. Today I managed to trip over a rather large rock, and apparently that brought me to the attention of another herd member.
Salome seems like a nice girl, at least outwardly anyway. I've learned better than to trust only what people present of themselves at first. So if I meet again I guess that will be the true test. She's a bit strange herself, not counting the cross between what I believe to be Jala and Reya, but her tails are bladed on the end. How cool is that?
She did mention knowing Ignatius, and didn't seemed bothered by him at all. In fact, I'd say she seemed fairly happy when I so much as asked her how she knew him. But happy may not be the right word, I'm not quite sure what to call it, and I won't jump to conclusions until I've heard Ignatius' side of things. That's about it for our little encounter though. I promised to spar with her sometime and we more or less went our seperate ways. I believe this herd was definatly a good choice for me to join, I rather enjoy being an accepted member of such a herd."
