Welcome to the original birthplace of Elsie This journal is maintained by BlackFireKitsune  Height: 13h 2" Elsie's Stats Skill level: 58Power: 14 pts Strength: 15 pts Intelligence: 5 pts Wisdom: 7 pts Courage: 13 pts Luck: 9 pts Speed: 12 pts Agility: 12 pts Adaptability: 5 pts Stamina: 13 pts
Personality: Elsie is a sweet and kind nequus, fiercely loyal to any creature she thinks of as a friend. It would be very unwise to cross her; though she isn't the smartest nequus, she's one of the strongest and will not stand to see someone attack someone she cares for, either physically, mentally, or emotionally. She is not the type to run away from any sort of situation unless it is deemed too dangerous, but when she does run for any reason she's very fleet of foot and hardly ever stumbles, and she can keep her pace for a long time if she must.
Location: Elsie has lived her whole life in the valley of D'ob, enjoying its lush grasses and mild seasons. She has lived there her whole life, and is content to spend the remainder there as well. She isn't very adaptable by nature, so sticking to the valley suits her just fine, though she does stray outside its boundaries on rare occasions.
Elsie's Tree is located in the Southwestern Quadrant

The two saplings, one bright yellow, the other dark gray, intertwined following conception, growing into a strong, albeit short willow-like tree. The bark is mostly dark gray with patches of yellow, and its branches and twigs are very strong. The small leaves are a bright yellow for the majority of the seasons, though they fade to a pale yellow in winter and fall just before the new buds emerge.

She is very much like her tree; dark gray hide, though she lacks the yellow patches of her tree, with bright yellow butterfly wings. Her mane and tail are the same shade of yellow as her wings, and are very silky to the touch. Her mane is very long, though the same can't be said of her medium-length tail. She also has a long scarf, a gift from the two-legs, that is black and yellow to match her coat.

The small gray willow-like tree with its yellow splotches and leaves glowed in the bright sunlight of the morning sun. Five separate branches hung a bit lower than the rest, weighed down by the growing creatures within.
His chocolate brown eyes studied the growing fruits closely as his pale yellow mate leaned over to nuzzle his neck affectionately. "They're going to be beautiful little foals," she said adoringly, her bright eyes practically sparkling with joy as they flicked to and fro over every small bud on the growing tree.
"Yes," the tall black stallion agreed, a happy smile slowly forming on his muzzle as he reached over to gently return the nuzzle, "they will be."

His pale-colored butterfly wings fluttered a bit as he trotted onward, the sun's fading light shining on his coat of sky blue. His dark eyes glanced back and forth, looking for someone or something that he had not obviously found quite yet.
He halted near an Aeri stallion, studying the large creature with some hesitation before speaking. "Hail, good Nequus; I am searching for a yellow Bae mare who went missing from our herd recently. Have you seen her?"
The membrane-winged creature lifted his large head, took one glance at the small Bae, flicked an ear, and returned to grazing.
"Please, sir, it is of the utmost importance that she is found at once," he insisted, prancing forward a few paces. "Have you seen a mare matching that description pass through here?"
With an irritated sigh the Aeri lifted his head, offering the smaller stallion a glare. "Yeah. Went to Shrilal, I think. With a black Bae." And with that, he turned his back to the pale-winged Nequus in favor of the rich valley grass.

The dark-coated stallion gently placed the may basket down on the soft grass in front of the pale Bae, swishing his long silky tail. "The two-legs are admirably cooperative," he commented as he straightened up, smiling at his love. "They're also good at picking the best fruits and vegetables. My favorites, anyway," he said with a light chuckle.
"Mine too," she said with a giggle, reaching over to nuzzle his neck affectionately. "Thank you," said the yellow mare sincerely as she gazed into his chocolate brown eyes. Unable to restrain herself any longer, she nearly dove down to begin eating the food he had brought. Neither of the couple had realized how hungry she would be from the constant drain of energy, but neither minded. "Oh, this is wonderful!" She exclaimed between bites, leaning over to nuzzle him now and again.
"I'm so glad you like them," he murmured with a proud smile, nuzzling her back. "It's good to know you approve."

"Adulterous whore!" He hissed as he stomped his hoof on the ground, teeth bared. "You were promised to me long before you were born! Do you not remember what your father promised mine long ago? His first-born daughter was to be the mate of my father's first son!"
Her eyes flashed as she tossed her proud head, stamping a forehoof on the ground as she stood between the pale stallion and the gray and yellow tree, her ears pinned to her skull. "Your father's eldest son died at childhood, which means no one has any such claim to me, especially you!"
"Disgusting little slut! My brother may have died, but that does not mean the agreement between our fathers is nullified!" He shouted, tossing his own head and prancing a few paces to the side. "You know as well as I your father not only cannot agree to the match you have chosen, he disapproves of his own free will!"
"My father's opinion nor agreements matters not to me, you egotistical brute! I chose to be with him before ever I laid eyes on you, and that is why I came here so shortly thereafter!" Hissed the yellow mare, rearing onto her hindlegs for a few moments, striking at thin air. "Call me all the names you like, I will never be yours!"
"That decision is not yours to make, but if that is your final say on the matter, then so be it!" He snarled, ears flat, and he charged toward her and her little tree.

The poor mare was pushed aside like a ragdoll as the pale stallion thundered by, overpowering the smaller mare easily. By the time she had recovered from the blow, the first fruit along with several yellow leaves had been stripped from the tree and discarded. With an anguished cry, the frantic mother charged at the attacker.
He turned to meet her head on, ears flat against his skull. "This is your own fault, insolent wretch! You'll be lucky to live when I'm through with you! The only children you should have are mine, but now you do not even deserve such an honor!" He hissed, halting suddenly and rearing a bit before she reached him. She attempted to halt but alas, it was too late for such an act, and his hooves struck her down to the grass below. He turned and galloped back to the tree, stripping it of another energy-gathering fruit and tossing the small, worthless bundle to the side.
He reached for the next when he felt a sharp set of teeth embed themselves in his flank, eliciting a cry from the pale stallion. Ignoring the irate mother of the tree he hard targeted was his folly. Despite the blow he snatched the third fruit, yanking it from its life-giving tree. Fruit still in his mouth he turned to glance at the yellow Bae, aiming a wall placed kick at her chest which sent her reeling backwards with a heave. She glared at him, shaking with rage and pain. "Selfish coward!" She hissed as she reared onto her hindlegs. "Foul, repulsive beast!"
He merely sneered, taking a bite of the fruit in his mouth and allowing the rest of it to drop to the ground, a small amount of blood flowing from the severed fruit. "Say what you like, you sickening whore, you're getting what you deserve," he said, baring his bloodied teeth as he charged her once more. She charged as well, and he once again tossed her aside like a ragdoll. This time he turned as she struggled to stand, and he drove his hooves into her sides. The pale mare cried out, her once bright coat now soiled with bruises, dirt, and blood. She struggled to lash out, to land a kick that could snap one of his legs, but he merely pummeled her sides with his hooves, driving down on her over and over until she barely moved, his hooves stained with her blood.
He snorted at the battered mare before him before cantering to the small tree, ripping off the last fruit and allowing himself the pleasure of eating the entire bundle. When he finished, he turned to the mare behind him with parting words. "See what your love thinks of you now," he spat before turning, galloping off as fast as his legs could carry him.
The words went in through one ear and out the other as the Bae mare watched him leave, before she heaved a contented sigh as her head dropped to the ground.

He dropped the may basket he had been carrying, all of the delicious, hand-picked goods spilling out of it as it landed. He tore across the grass to the pale mare, halting beside her. With a shudder he laid down beside her still-bleeding body, gently nudging her neck. To his surprise, she spoke. "He killed them. All of them. All but one," she said, her once-bright eyes closed, and her love offered a nod she could not see. "Take good care of it, my love. If it is a colt, name it as you wish. But if it is a filly, please, do me one last favor. Please, name her Elsie," she murmured, her breathing shallow.
"I promise, my love," he whispered, laying his head across her shoulder. A soft smile appeared on her muzzle before a contented sigh escaped her, and her body forever stilled.

The swollen gray and yellow fruit wiggled on its tree, the branch it was hanging from severely weighted down by its bundle. Finally, with a quiet snap the fruit fell the short distance to the earth, landing with a soft thud on the grass below. It bounced once, then proceeded to roll down the short hill, its long yellow tassel-like strands trailing behind it.
His dark head shot up as the crushing weight of draining energy was lifted, watching the small fruit roll away from him. He shot up, following it closely, watching as it finally came to rest a few yards from its tree.
It laid still for several moments, worrying the nervous sire nearby, before a violent kick sent a dark hoof through the thin wall of the fruit. It was soon followed by a second hoof being forced through another part of the fruit before the whole oddly-shaped thing stilled again. The stallion held his breath as he watched, then nearly jumped back as the bundle suddenly rolled onto its other side, the part between the tiny hooves tearing in half as a gray head appeared, followed by a small, skinny gray body. The tiny filly toppled over onto her back, curling up a bit to inspect what in the world was over her back hooves. With a snort and a kick she sent the remainder of her fruit flying off to the side, and she peered up into the upside-down face of the black stallion above her. After a moment a large, lopsided grin appeared on her muzzle, and she wiggled her stubby tail furiously. "Daddy!"

"Murder!" The wild-eyed pale stallion cried as he bolted through the herd, ears pinned against his skull. "She's been murdered!"
"What?"
"When?"
"Who did it?"
"Speak, boy! Who killed her?"
"That black devil, the one who was forbidden to join the herd! I saw it with my own eyes!" He pranced about in a nervous panic, eyes rolling. "They had fruits together, but he tore them all to shreds. He then cursed her, and tore her apart as well. I tried to stop him, but he was too vicious. He chased me from Shrilal, and I haven't been able to return for fear he would find me and tear me apart, too. Watch out for your foals if he returns! None of the women and children will be safe around such a creature as he!"
"Yes, I always knew he was a devil-creature!"
"Have you seen his scars? I bet he got those from the parents of other fruits he's killed!"
"No wonder he never stayed in a herd for very long!"
"He's a foal-killer!"
"A murderer!"
"We must strike him down before he takes anymore of our herd!"
