"Have not met one? Well my dear...maybe you just haven't been looking hard enough." A luxurious chuckle rose from his lips, winking a golden eye at the mare. "Because one might very well be infront of your nose." Leanding in as he discovered that these small physical gestures seemed to drive the mare wild, he nipped her little golden snout before standing tall once more. Like he saw before, when one was interested in a mare they would keep her their focus of attention and that was exactly what the Lord of Nightmares did. If it made her tingle, feel special...well then, his game was working.
"I thank you for your compliment...but while its true how others say that I am the gold amongst the sea of chaos....well, I think I shine a bit more brightly looking at your sunkissed beauty."
The stallion was drawn away however as his eyes ventured off to the horizon, the sun slowly creeping up from over the distant hills. He could hear something stir amongst the thickets, as if calling out a name....wait, the mare's name. Could this be family? Or Maybe something else? The voice was definately stallion. This of course came to be a most pleasant of circumstances for LON if this was indeed some kind of suitor...could he actually pull off the grace and charm to take her away from another? Oh how simply delicious....
"Abattie...." He purred, amping up the charm as he sank in close to her, chest against her own as he lipped at her jawline up towards her ear. "I would be pleased if you call me Lord, my special sundrop. However...I must go, the daylight and I do not agree. Tell me, sweet juliet...can we meet again tomorrow night? Do you live in those nearby thickets....we can meet there if its of your convenience?"
He knew he had to leave...stepping back slowly from the mare.
Before the sun arose....before the stallion saw them.
"Abattie? Where are you?" Shadow called in the distance, obviously having awoken and searched for his newfound friend.
"We best depart now...whisper what I long to hear so I can count the hours till I can lay my eyes on you again..." He grinned, spreading his wings to take off the moment he heard exactly what he wanted to hear.
..and he had little doubt that he would be denied.

Oh! This was getting to be too good to be true! She could hardly handle herself, but it was a must in this situation. She couldn't squeal, she couldn't freak out. Act calm, cool and coy. Yes, that would work....
And she was able to keep those three until he nipped her snout. Abattie let out a loud, awkward snort, the one that shy, quiet high-school like girls let out when the hot guy spoke to them. Damnit. The golden mare thought to herself, mentally kicking whatever part of her brain did that. WHY? At a time like this, WHY? This stallion didn't want a blubbering fool, he wanted a beautiful sidekick, she could tell. And she wanted to be that, too!
"Oh dear...." She mumbled, after the compliments kept pouring in. He really was quick on his hooves....boy did he know how to make a girl feel amazing. She giggled again before regaining enough control to speak. "Thank you, Lord...really though you are far more gorgeous than I."
And why couldn't she just take the compliment? Take the compliment and not say anything? Suppose she just wanted to hear more...Attie smiled...yes, she wanted to hear more....
In fact the mare was so rapped up in the sight before her, she had not seen his gaze toward the horizon, nor the change in daylight....nor even the voice that called her very name. Hell if she even forgot about Shadow's presence near by at all! But LON's words brought her back to reality and Attie snapped back her attention, blushing madly. He....was...touching her! Practically kissing her! Oh, thank the heavens for a moment such as this! Oh how she pleaded with herself to do it back....to be savvy like him and do it back but she couldn't. Not a muscle would move.
"I....what? Oh, dear Lord!" She frowned, why was he leaving her now? He said it was because of the daylight, damn sun. "I would be honored to meet you tomorrow night in the thickets, I will be counting every second until then!" She still couldn't hear the voice of her friend, or if she had there was no processing of it belonging to him. "Yes." She grinned again and watched as he spread his wings.....what a beauty.
"Hmmm...."

"Good." Very good, infact...it means his little experiment would continue on for another day without him having to force her into it. Things were always much easier when other played along to his little games, albeit unknowingly. She was lovestruck over him like she was nothing but a pretty little yearling, smitten with the world. Sinister thoughts brewed in the depths of his twisted mind as his wings flapped swiftly to quickly send him into the dawning skies; nodding his head he turned and flew off above the forest line and out of sight.
Something was wrong....something was very wrong. Abattie would have at least woken him up if she was heading somewhere, or at least was leaving. She was so happy to spend the night with him...no, she wouldn't just leave...yet where was she?
Heading down along the trail unexlpored to him, but hoping that these smaller hoofprints in the dry soil was hers...the stallion rounded a tree but froze when he spotted a familliar golden dappled mare and what looked like to be a giant shadow. Abattie was so still even as the other massive stallion moved close....and....oh. Shadow thought of looking away, but his eyes remained on the pair as his own heart twisted and turned something funny. A tightness in his chest caused the poor boy some major confusion...why would he care that the two were kissing (as the angle he was to them made it very well look like it) since she was his friend and mentor?
Wasn't it her desire to find someone who would love her like that, albiet being a very strange choice but he supposed as a friend he too was quite an oddity. Looking down at his hooves, he debated asking Abattie what exactly he was feeling right now...but even he could figure out it wasn't the best seeing as it was because of her and this other stallion. Something he didn't want to admit to her let alone himself...even as the stallion flew off into the dawning skies he remained back for a few more moments as he collected his thoughts and pushed them to the back of his mind and heart.
All he wanted was her happiness in life, but so help him if that stallion hurt his Abattie...there would be hell to pay.
....! His Abattie? Where the hell did that come from!? Surpressing those even further into his consious he decided he best head out now, coming out from around the tree to stand on the slope where she could see him once she turned around.
"Abattie, there you are. You're up early." He called out, face blank as always...but this time he seemed to have to try and keep it that way...

It was heartbreaking to watch such a beautiful creature leave on such sudden terms but said creature really knew how to make his departure memorable. Golden eyes glistened with tears as they watched him leave...they didn't necessarily have to be considered sad tears, they were just tears. Of joy, for meeting him. For getting an opportunity to see him again, for basking in his beauty.
Just tears.
The mare stood there in silence, wondering what was next to come. Still very unaware of her friend standing right there, who witnessed almost the entire scene.
She was completely focused on LON. Were the heavens really supplying her with something that beautiful? After years of rejection and heartbreak she had given up on hope, but was it all finally paying off? Hmm! She huffed in response to all the hard years she was put through. Finally, the heavens were agreeing with her. And if that was the case, boy was the wait worth it. There were no other words to describe the stallion she just met other than perfect.
Perfect.
Papa said there was no such thing as perfection, but Attie would prove him all wrong. He'd see LON, and he'd see for himself that perfection existed. She would...she would bring him to her Papa! Yes! And then he'd see how much LON cared for her and how happy they'd be together....forever.
And he'd agree for them to mate....he'd agree that perfection existed.
Oh, wait what? The mare smiled to herself. Here was a stallion that she had just met literally seconds ago....he was perfect yes, but she just met him. And yet she was already pegging him off as her mate. Well hey that wasn't the worst situation, she'd love that....but she wasn't thinking rationally!
They'd have to go out a few times first, of course! She can't just mate herself to a stallion she's only known for a few minutes!! Maybe she'd be able to convince him to take her places she's never been. Maybe she could - !
The voice came from behind her and literally snapped her out of the daydream. How long was she standing there, looking like a fool for thinking to herself and staring into the sky? The mare jerked her head behind her, and smiled. Oh dear! Shadow! She completely forgot about her poor, brand new friend!
Eh, whatever. He was able to handle himself this early in the morning right? He was a fighter after all!
"Hello Shadow, yes I am. I thought a little early-morning stroll would do me some good. Sorry I didn't wake you I wasn't sure if you wanted to be up at this hour or not." She grinned and walked toward him, her mind still focused completely on LON.

"Thank you for your concideration...." He wished he was asleep, if he was blessed with fingers he probably would have had a black and blue bruise by now. Why did he have to see this? Would it not have been more beneficial for him just not to know...to remain blissfully unaware that she'd finally found the love she deserved? That she wished for with every fiber of her being? That was the past now...and while she and this stallion would be in for the time of their lives...she would move past him; and just like before....he'd be alone.
Isn't that the way it always wound up anyways?
I was running in circles all along...I hurt myself just to find my purpose..
He turned his head away to look off to the side....why couldn't he stare into her eyes? Those eyes full of hope and happiness, the few lingering tears of joy tucked away at the corner of those lush lashes. A sight he loved to look into....how did it bring him such torment and sadness to see those emotions in those golden orbs; directed at someone else. She had all right to fall in love with someone else...it wasn't like he made an effort.
...he wanted to make an effort? What!? When did he start thinking of love concerning Abattie? She was his mentor and friend....they'd just met! Yet...
She understood him, looked past his dark past and taught him to start living for himself. She was so much like Maria, yet so different in many good ways as well...she was unique; his flaws somehow cute to her. Was that why he was feeling so rotten...that he missed a chance at something truely great in his life? No...he refused to think like that. He was simply jealous that she'd spend more time with this new stallion to interfere with his lessons. That was logical. He liked logical.
"I hope you...enjoyed your walk. My mission this morning was to aquire breakfast. You may assist, or I can bring the target back to base." Shadow found himself sinking into old habits, as he gave a little shake of his head...his mind was in a fog, it was driving him mad that he couldn't even concentrate on daily basic necessities! "I'm...Sorry.....I......well...." He'd never been so jumbled, so shaken in his life. Why now...why here.....why her!?
"I have to go....I'm sorry for being rude, i'll be back." He didn't specify when, yet he wasn't sure if it even mattered to her. Turning tail he ran....and continued to run. He needed to get away from these emotions, these dreams that he so desperately tried to acheive for Maria. Right now...he needed that old self back...that reassurance that nothing was all he needed, as long as he had his missions, his distant memory of Abattie and Maria to keet him motivated....who needed love, freedom and happiness.
Not him.
I'm scattered through this life...if this is the life I sought...I'll say goodbye.
