 Brief notes about my encounters with various folk.
Who’s Boss? - Sekhmet is missing. Father told me that when he found me a couple of days ago, and I said I’d help look, of course. We went to visit the herd, supposedly briefly but I managed to persuade him that he had to stay there as he has responsibilities nobody else can really take on. After a nice afternoon with him and Bastet, who conspired with me to make him stay, I headed off on my search.
To the Mountain - It has been a long time now since I began my search, and today I got my very first lead. Sadly it came from a Katilenuck mare who I picked a fight with and lost to. I'm heading for Fyhi now, hoping to find my sister at last...
What is lost - I tried to help a very strange Aeri stallion find his Bae mate after a storm. We didn’t succeed.

Etain The Creature
Etain is a fairly intelligent and wise creature, she tends to pick up on situations and deduce what she believes to be the best course of action fairly quickly. She'll argue this course too...which might make her seem slightly bossy and haughty. She really isn't at heart - she just tends to fully believe in what she decides is right or wrong. She's typically pretty good natured in normal situations but her sense of humor can seem scathing or biting at times - even though for the most part such comments are made in jest. She's a loyal friend whenever someone can put up with her long enough to get to know her, and even though she's not exactly the bravest or strongest of creatures she'll stand up for her friends - even if she constantly tells them the folly of staying around.

At The Moment... Returning Home - Etain meets up with her sibling to see if any of them had better luck in the searching.Don't you look familiar? - Etain meets Raize.Unfinished Hunt - Etain runs across the mare Esterlina while on her way back to meet her siblings.Searching For Gold - After Aquila told us that our father was missing we all agreed to split up and look for him, While doing so I ran across a Reya stallion who said he was dead in a ravine. It was a lie...and I am both relieved - and rather displeased with the Reya.Unexpected Encounters - I guess spending time in the Valley is starting to pay off, finally caught up with a family member - my borther Udi. surprise surprise! Aquila has shown up too - although she's brought some bad news along with her.Out and About - in the D'ob Valley, though its been a while since I sought out the company of others I'm hoping to do so now.

Those I Know
Family
Udi - the only family member I've managed to catch up with since my return to the area. Our conversation was a little awkward but I hope that passes in time as we get to know one another again.
Aquila - Managed to catch up with Aquila too - it was nice to see her again even though she's brought some rather disturbing news.
Sekhmet - My half sister, daughter of my fathers new mate Bastet.
Friends and Others
Eacles - A rotten Reya who told me father was dead in a ravine - it turned out to be a lie for which I am thankful..but I think I'll pound the little rat into the ground for lyin to me if I ever see him again.
Esterlina - A nice enough mare I happened to run across on my way back to check in with Aquila and Udi.

Journeys Through Life
So far life has been fairly uneventful, I've been a wandering solitary soul adrift on the currents as it's commonly stated of such wayward beasts. Quite honestly it's been quite dull...if wonderfully peaceful and introspective.
After catching up with Udi it seem's we're both fairly lonely souls - we were in the midst of speaking on it when Aquila joined us out of the blue - I must say I was pretty happy to see her! She came bearing some rather bad news however - it seem father has gone and run off - and with two little foals at home to boot. Nothing else to do but look for him I suppose and so we decided to split up and cover more ground.
Well my heart was in my throat for a while there - some nutty yellow and brown Nequus told me of a golden Jala found dead in a ravine. Turned out to be a lie - thank the gods, but I'm still a little miffed at the Reya - should have gotten his name. I'll deal with him later - met this nice little Canine though, rather fond of the beast - maybe we'll see each other again sometime.
Turns out I did see the little Devil again, Raize seems to want to help look for father and well I see no problem with that. I"m hoping he'll stick around afterwards - he's a nice little Canis and would make a good friend.
Turns out that neither Udi or Aquila had any luck with their searching either but my half-sister Sekhmet had some news and at least a direction to follow, looks like we're heading towards Yisi.

Aspirations and Dreams
I'm beginning to feel ever the more lonely in my travels, perhaps my conversations with Udi sparked this new desire to find someone special to share my life with. Or at least a few good friends to speak with from time to time. Life is quite boring when your alone.

A compassionate heart is not always an easy thing to possess. That colt today, such a bright mind and with such potential to do good with his shaman magic. He will never reach that potential, stifled as he is by the beliefs of his people. I hate them, for what they do to other breeds, for how they think of them and for what they are robbing the world of in that boy. He will spend his life up on the red mountain, healing only them, keeping their warriors and slavers strong so that they might bring misery to everyone who is not Jala, or who is not the sort of Jala they think one should be.
Perhaps I should have stayed longer, tried to persuade him that what he believes is wrong but I didn’t. I doubt it would have done any good anyway, there was something... something very set about him, something decided. I almost felt as though he was the adult and I the foal until he looked at me with such confusion for saying he was wrong. He told me that his slave is happy being a slave. I cannot imagine such a creature, and I find myself wondering now if he lied to Udi and me just to make us like him a little more.
Still, even if that is the case there's nothing to be done now; I shall try to put the incident behind me. Father is returning to his old herd tomorrow, and I plan to go with him and stay with him at least until I’m sure he’ll be alright. I know he’s stronger than I, and capable of taking care of himself but an extra pair of eyes can’t hurt. He says he has changed so much that they might not like him anymore. He says he changed because of mother... Could I have changed that colt as she changed him? I don’t know, I doubt it but the question still remains. Should I have done more?... I don’t know. A compassionate heart it not always an easy thing to possess.

I’m traveling again now, traveling the world in search of my half-sister Sekhmet. She vanished a little while ago, and as yet nobody has even heard a whisper of her whereabouts. It worries me, worries me a lot. She’s sensible, but she’s young. A lot can happen to a foal whose almost a young mare, and most of it’s bad.
Still, at least it’s me out hunting now; riruy is staying with the herd to take care of his responsibilities there. I was quite proud of myself and Bastet for persuading him to do that. Speaking of Bastet, I like her better now and have got over the fact that she’s a lot prettier than me. After all, most people are a lot prettier than me, and it’s not too often I find somebody to conspire with. It’s not often I want to conspire, really, but she’s a good person to do it with when I do; good a guilt-tripping people she seems to be.
Anyway, I spent a nice afternoon with her and Dad and caught a few other members of the herd too before I decided it was time to make a move. It’s late now and I’m a bit outside the herd’s territory, and have settled down to sleep. It’s going to be hard work, searching for Sekhmet, but I’m willing to put the effort in, and to call in all the favors I have. In making riruy stay with the herd, I have taken on his responsibilities to Sekhmet as well as my own and need to work twice as hard at finding her. I won’t give up until she’s found, that I swear on my life and the lives of all those I love. I will find her, or I will die in the attempt.

Verity. Evil b***h Verity. She's a Katilenuck mare, and she told me that Sekhmet is planning to join the brindled herd. She has no reason to lie to me that I can see, but I can hardly get my head around the idea. I can hardly even feel happy that somebody has seen my sister alive and well recently. The Katilenuck... She wouldn't. Would she?
Verity said that her talents would be used there, that she would rise to whatever rank she deserved by virtue of being herself rather than being her parents' daughter. That would be attractive to my sister. She always seemed to fear being bargained with, seemed to hate the idea of having her mate chosen for her. I'm sure I would too, but there have to be other ways to avoid such a thing than joining that herd of bigots!
Still, I suppose all I can do is hurry on toward the mountain and hope I can find her and stop her. Talk her out of it, that is. If joining them is really what she wants then... then there's nothing I can do. It's her life, not mine, so if she really feels that's the right way for her to go then... Then at least I'll be able to tell everyone she's alive. Just need to look on the bright side, that's all. I can do that.
In any case, I hope I don't run into Verity again along the way; something about that mare wasn't right. It was like... like she knew what she was doing, but didn't. She dodged well, very well, but now that I think about it, there was no finesse in her attacks at all. Oh they hurt enough, she beat me but she didn't seem liked a practiced warrior at all. And yet she evaded me like a master, most of the time in any case.
If I have to see her again though, then I'll just have to be civil; last thing I want is to get into another fight with her, especially on her home ground. Find Sekhmet, talk to her, then leave, hopefully with Sekhemt by my side. I can do that. I hope.
