Welcome to Gaia! ::

As he continued to lead her through the trees, the stallion stopped at one in particular. Its bark seemed to have been rubbed off in certain places. Upon stepping closer, he rubbed his shoulder against it, tiny bits of bark falling to the ground. He did this often, it was almost second nature as he didn't miss a beat in his response. "I have brothers my age and older brothers as well. No sisters yet, but I'm sure eventually my parents will rectify that."

He moved on from the tree.

"Oh yes, aunts, uncles. My aunt Taipa stays relatively close to my gram while her mate is away. She's my father's younger sister. And of course there are many on my mother's side." He glanced to the trees warmly. "This has always been where gram and gramps have lived. Though my father and mother tend to move independently between her family and his from time to time. I guess you could say we all have our little family groups but some members tend to be move fluid with their moving back and forth between them." Antinanco knew that many families moved more than most, but he was glad to at least have grounded points to where he could return.

"Yea, but that's what happens when big families join together. They make an even bigger one. I'm sure I've got tons of cousins out there that I have yet to meet." He grinned. Antinanco loved his family, even the unknown ones. His parents had instilled the importance of family in him since he was just a colt and was something that they all shared.

Her next question though kind of came out of left field and he stumbled before catching himself. "Ah...ah well no. I don't." His cheeks flushed a tiny bit as he turned his head away from so that she could not see. "They spirits have not graced me with a mate or foals of my own yet." Clearing his throat he was glad that they had finally arrived, this way she could not poke about that subject anymore. "Oh good we're here."

The path broke into a large clearing surrounded by trees of all sorts. A small pool of water at it's center. He cantered forward into the clearing where two mares were resting by the pool and two stallions were grazing on apples from a nearby tree.



The darker mare with a rainbow ribbon in her curly mane stood with a warm smile. Her curly tail gave a happy flick as she made her way towards Antinanco. "Back already? That was a short walk."



A white faced stallion trotted up next to the mare, eyes narrowing just slightly as he gave a sniff. "You're not alone," Bright green eyes peered into the trees behind the younger stallion.


Taipa kept to her resting spot near the pool of water. Her own curly tail flopping against the ground as she simply listened to her older brother and mother speak to her youngest nephew.



The second stallion continued to graze on apples. He was quite different from the three darker Soquili. His lighter buff color made him stick out like a sore thumb. But it was obvious from his markings that he was related to them.

Antinanco turned towards Berry behind him with a smile. "No I'm not." Stepping to the side a bit he grinned wide. "Gram, Father this is Berry. We're going off on an adventure together."

The older mare and stallion exchanged glances breifly. Chu'mana cleared her throat as Yiska went to say something but he instantly closed his mouth. "That's wonderful youngling. What kind of adventure?"
