He was out again in the dead of night of course he could not help himself. He longed to meet the shadow mare he knew as Umbra once more. Her sister had not provided him with much insight but he understood she hated her parents and the sister whom he met. He longed to meet Umbra again because he had been thinking since there first meeting he felt something for her and he could not deny that. He had been searching for her ever since then hoping she would appear and as a reaslut he could see better in the darkness and he no longer felt tired after hours of staying awake under the moon. He did this every night returning to the spot they first met even though he never saw her he did see her sister. He wondered if Umbra would be mad that he knew her name now or that he had an idea of what she looked like. As he stood under the shelter of trees he looked up at the moon shining down on him making his orange stand out. He hoped she would come tonight he had a feeling she would.

Life was getting all turned upside down. After so long she had finally found him just to find that he'd met someone else. Without a second thought he'd mindlessly begun to follow the other mare. It had become like Umbra didn't even matter. Their childhood adventures a mere thing of the past. While a part of her was greatly dismayed at the turn of events a greater part was furious that the other mare thought she could merely take Frosty away from her. In such turmoil the shadows swirled creating a black hole effect in the shadows of the night. Bright moon light shined down through the budding trees where she usually avoided the light and the lack of shadows that came along with it she let slip a few times and passed through briefly though there was not near enough for her to accidentally fully walk into the light as of yet.
Her mouth was clenched shut as she ground her teeth at the thought of all the time the other mare spent with HER best friend. She had never been one to dislike other mares but she'd finally found one that set her more off then a stallion. Something nagged at umbra as she moved forward but she payed no real mind to it to swept up in her angry thoughts. With every step she took she neared more and more light patches where the trees grew further apart and in the budding spring their branches didn't block out as much of the moonlight. There would be no avoiding the moon, Her shadows dimmed with the moon light though the still clung to her then didn't provide the shelter as they once had in the spot where she was heading. No the lack of shadows would play a whole different game, where she'd not be the one in control.

He suppose this was another unsuccessful night and he sighed seeing as the mare was yet again no where to be seen. He would know even if the light was not upon her he would be able to see her shadows has she been close. Why were his feelings growing for the mare he barely knew the one who seemed so dangerous? Was it because he loved risk..? All he wanted to do was prove her wrong but now he was lead into the game of chase. If he could talk to her again he would be glad for a second conversation. As he walked along the moon seemed to to grow brighter making him feel like he owned the night even if he was a creature of the day. He smiled and even though his chances were low he still held his hopes high. That was when he saw her and his breath was drawn out of him from some unknown force.
She was breathtaking in every way he felt drawn to her and he knew in his heart it was Umbra. All his emotions were suddenly rushing to his head and he could not decide to approach her or to watch her from a distance one thing was sure though she was shorter than the average mare. In the moonlight her armor glinted and her fangs were bright. He noticed her eyes not the same as her sisters but she did have fangs. Why had she let her guard down? She was so careful before to never show herself but now he saw her in clear veiw and wondered how he could be falling for her. Most stallions would run but he was just the opposite and knew instantly from talk one she was his future. He did wonder what to do not wanting to set her off but try and start a friendly conversation. He decided to wait and see what way she went and if she left he would follow the mare of his dreams no matter how wrong they might be for a noble knight of a lion.

Were it possible she'd have stomped her hooves all through the thought process, but due to her habit of trying to remain silent in walk he steps were tempered to settle softly upon the ground. She wasn't very good at temper tantrums to say the least. Like her mother he shadows reacted to her emotions. Her pull on them most strong when she was angry had them gathering and flowing all about. She near invisible were she to step into the shadows they gathered so much about her. The moon light cut through them though and she payed no mind. It was as if she dared someone to approach for her foul mood.
Woe be the mare that she came across, never mind the stallion that wasn't seeing what was going on. She had herself convinced that Frosty couldn't see what the mare was doing to him, luring him away with her sickening giggles. She paused though in her steps. Ranting in her head would get her nowhere. She had to think of a way to get Frosty away from the mare. She knew she was in no position to actually attack the mare, her size put her at a disadvantage. She needed to find someone to help her with this though because she knew not how to go about getting rid of the pest that was the other mare.

Umbra was on the move and Kamau had noticed that. He had only seen her but when he setted to wait she was gone next he looked he quickly got up and did his best to follow her trail. She was as silent as a shadow considering she was close to being one herself he had a hard time judging where she had gone. There! He caught a glimpse of the shine of light on metal and knew she was not being cautious at all he had to know why she was not concealing herself. Was there something bothering her..? He had seen others like this and it seemed something was..He wanted to ask her or call out but he just kept following at a distance till fate would give his chance.
Now this was as good a time as any. He took in a deep breath and ran forward catching up with her. He was right behind her pretending to play her game and be a shadow. He wanted to make a good second impression as his first was not so well received. He wanted her to like him the way he liked her even being a stranger.
"Well Hello we meet again Shall i re-introduce myself? It seems you have much on your mind"
He turns and faces her now not scared of what may happen next he knows of what she can do or might do. He had talked to her before and she had bit him..He never going to show fear now all he felt was courage even knowing she could kill him in a single blow. If she opened to him he would do the same in return.

Umbra jumped at the sudden appearance of a brightly colored stallion. She was controlled enough not to let out a started squeak though. He was larger then her. His whole presence seemed to command her attention. Her tailed whipped to the side in aggravation. A Stallion had come upon her and startled her. He'd dared to interrupt her fuming. The Nerve of him had he no sense. Never mind the fact that she'd just been contemplating find another to help her plot some sort of removal of the pesty mare that had become a thorn in her friendship. She was more caught of guard that what she'd been fuming about had merely vanished from thought leaving her confused about her anger and leaving him the one in full focus of it. "How Dare you stalk up upon in such a fashion. HAVE you no respect for personal space? I have no inking of who you are and you think you may just pop up out of nowhere as if you know me."
Her nostrils flare after her little outburst as she vaguely feels sorry for the poor stallion. Though it was odd that she felt that way. Never had she felt bad, well there was once, the poor sod had poked the wrong issue and it had all tumbled forth. However who was she to hold back on the stallion that merely popped up out of nowhere knowing she had much on her mind. To top it off who was He to have his presence command her full attention. Her whole angered thought had dissipated with his mere appearance. The Nerve of he who demanded her attention silently, and received it. Though the words he'd said finally settled and they startled her. Again... Re-Introduce? She'd no recollection of seeing the bright stallion. She'd no say a word though. She'd not change her course to show any curiosity of the stallion, for surely she'd remember some one that stole her thoughts away.

Odd she seemed different than before she had not lashed out at him with attack but merely responded to his words. He has to wonder what was causing all this and why she was being so unprotective of herself she seemed careless to who may see her unlike before. He also could notice the shadows around her her were very dim he did figured they grew week in the light and then he realized why she chose to walk at night. He wanted to help her though no matter what her problems he has vowed to never give up on her and so he would never stop trying to win her heart no matter how odd it was to try.
"You do not remember me..? How could one forget me the bright stallion whom you lashed out at? It seems you are being careless though Umbra.Your showing yourself to me.."
He smiles knowing though she will become enraged at the fact of he knowing her name and Umbra not remembering him. He only wished to know her problems so he could help her and start bonding. If he could get past her hate for stallions he wanted to see the personality inside the shll shell she put around her. She must remember him and must try at least He would not let this shadow slip away and out of his reach.

Pompous, arrogant, insignificant, imbecilic, idiotic Stallion. All thought but never stated, Umbra felt like kicking the stallion. She was at an utter loss for actual words. In a sense she was speechless because of him and it pissed her off to no end. She didn't know him, she didn't remember why she was angry at the start nor did she understand what was going on. He could see her. A quick glance about revealed that she'd foolishly slipped into the moonlight. Foolish she chided herself. Why had she been so foolish she had no idea. Spurred by that her anger was kicked up one notch. Of all the nights for the pain to show up it had to be the night she'd been fuming about something quiet heatedly and he had to interrupt it.
The sound of her name coming from him caused her to still. This THING knew her name. She'd never give away such information to someone she didn't know. Karloff knew it, frosty and a few others too but him, NEVER. Her eyes narrowed as she glared at him, a faint growl eased past her clenched teeth. It was not all too common for her to actually growl. She felt it odd to growl but it seemed for once it would not be held back. She longed for a patch of darkness that would give her more shadows to work with. The farthest thing from worthy had uttered her name like he knew her. She scoffed at the thought. "There is no way I know you for I'd have NEVER told you my name." Though she made a note of the before she payed neigh mind to it. Was he really that much of an idiot to actually not get that she didn't remember him. "And please pray tell what do you think I meant when I said I have no inkling of who you are? Hmm? You think that meant oh hey I remember you but I'm gonna say else wise? That's like saying no means yes when no mean no. " Could she hurt him... NO. Ah just another thing to add to the list of why she was angry. Her list was gaining. The Unknown reason for being angry, the fact that his presence commanded her whole attention, He knew her name, knew more then he should about her, she knew not who he was, he could clearly see her, he was bigger then her(no surprise there), and finally she couldn't hurt him for some ungodly reason she just knew bone deep that she couldn't bring herself to hurt him, and still she felt like her list was missing quiet a bit to it's why I'm angryness list.

Something had been struck he had given his blow. If this was how things were to go he would only try harder. He could see clearly she was more than mad she was beyond. How she not remember him though? Did she have so many things on her mind that he has slipped off it forever? He remembered her as if it was yesterday yet he would have to start over seeing as she forgot him. He knew what he was doing wondering what she was still in full view staring back her eyes and expression on the urge of a killer look. He took note of her fangs and armor but all the while was really admiring her beauty and how stunning she was to him. He wanted to know why he was drawn to her in this way when clearly she wanted nothing to do with him.
First off he knew she was mad about him knowing her name. She had never told him it but he had found out though her sister..He wondered i he should mention he had word with her but considering her hate for her faimly he decided not to as that might set her off even more. If he could get her to calm down then he might softly mention the issue. She hated stallions and he knew he had to prove her wrong no matter what it took. He would give his life for her even if she was the one who took it.
"You never did tell me your name..Lets just say i have talked to some family of yours..Your so far my favorite. Last time i met you i made a vow in my head..I recall you claiming you hate stallions? I am going to prove you wrong"
He tries to approach in a different fashion than last time. She has stated he was nothing but calm so now he tried to throw humor into his conversation. He wanted to get on her good side but all that was happening now was bringing out her bad side more and more.
"You may not remember me but i remember you as clearly as if it were yesterday..I have been trying to find you the nights since then..Please dont get mad at me your shadows are one of a kind and my promises compelled me to find you. You need help with something that i can tell..You seem un-focused and not very careful..It seems you have much on your mind. I shall prove myself to you if you would give me the chance"
He stands there and looks into her eyes wondering if this was the right choice of action. Should he have retained his old personality? Something about her seemed to change his point of view and even affect his speaking. He still knew the risk he was taking could be very bad but who would ever let true love go?

Umbra felt an odd call it felt so foreign and dangerous to her that she knew better then to heed the call. It felt forbidden and extremely alluring and she had a feeling it was that step beyond that would take her in the wrong direction. Mad or not nothing would be so alluring to travel down such a path of forbidden darkness, sanity still reigned supreme. No Killer urge would be seized even if she'd not attack the stallion she was sure that it would take her forward, let loose the bonds of sanity and then she'd end up as sad as her mother. The mere thought caused her blood to chill and her anger to ease slightly.
Now back to the stallion at hand, she took a deep breath as if to compose herself and hold her tongue she, still glaring, looked at the stallions ridiculous costume. That was when it clicked the paws the odd thing hanging from his face. Sure enough she had met him and it was no surprise he found out her name, but had she been moving she'd have stopped dead in her tracks at his words about her family. She took a few steps back to have a better look at the stallion. "I know not who you saw but no matter I am surprised you escaped unscathed." And a bit impressed too but she'd not add that. Within she was in turmoil hope that it'd been Pandora her sister clashed with a fierce disgust of her mother. Yet she was his favorite? There was no way the stallion was sane she was sure he'd met her mother. That would have knocked him off the sanity track. "I doubt you'll be able to prove that stallions are judgmental arrogant uncaring monsters." She knew not all were that way. Kaloff hadn't been, he loved a mare. Then there was Frosty, he wasn't like that either.
As if on cue everything slipped back. His comment about being un-focused tied with her previous thought about frosty caused her focus of the stallion to dissipate and her problem to fall back in front of her. Then before she could stop it the words tumbled free. "The stupid, whimsical,good for nothing witch!" Once more a low growl rolled forth though it was no longer directed at the stallion but at the unseen mare.

This was going out of his control or was it? Was all this only necessary to get to where he wanted to be? He had not considered his options was this the best one? No matter what option though it would always involve Umbra there was no going back ever. He had only met her sister and had no idea what her parents whom she hated were like. He remembered though or thought her father was a walker..Did she have the same killer instincts as a walker did? He knew she deeply hated her father for choosing her sister and with that he respected her discion. If she was provoked enough though would that side reveal itself? He shifted in the moonlight his fur mane ruffled by the breeze. He noticed she had stepped away from him as if to take in his tokks. Surely his striking features would be in her memory somewhere? The first time he saw her she had sad he was foolish for being the way he was she must rember that at least.
"I escaped because i was told to give a message..Your sister she wishes to see you..Pandora is her name and she looks not quite like you..I can see though you must not hate her as much as your parents..I was brave in the face of danger and so she spared me from what might of happened..She ran off though before i could get more information.."
He frowns not feeling sorry for the family knowing they would not take that. He felt something though a passion for these shadow horses he knew not why but he knew he was going to be a part of the family no matter what fate decided. He turns his head slightly but then walks closer to umbra risking himself even more. She must of met someone she liked in the past and he was going to prove himself as one of them now. She could trust him with her problems and he would help no matter what. He was still determined to break her shell and reach the one under all these harsh words. Everyone had a soft side sometimes it took more to get to it.
"I will prove it if you give me the chance..Why else would i be here? I am here to prove myself useful and to prove some stallions will stand by a side even when death is near. I am risking my life to prove you wrong and its the best choice i ever made"
He nods in the moonlight his eyes sinsear showing his words are truthful. He bows to Umbra going down on one leg giving her the knights honor code. He would only go all the way down for one he truely cared for and now it was her.
"I give you my word even if you kill me or reject it..I will be behind you shadow mare Umbra. If you leave i will never stop trying to find you till the day i can prove to you i am truthful to my word. I give you my honor and my truth i shall be there even if you hate me think me a stranger you will know me someday and i you."
He frowned at her outburst knowing he was finally getting somewhere. He had got her to the breaking point and now her problem or issue was going to come out. He was going to help her with whatever she needed form here on out he was her vowed protector he had a love for her that ran deep. How he fell in love he had no idea knowing that right know she hated him with her entire body but he loved her with his.
"Who may you be talking about? What is the problem..? A witch you say? I shall help you if you will allow me to..Sounds like you need someone to stop doing something. If you reject my help your issue may never be solved i only wish the best.."
For the first time he noticed she was smaller than him and he wondered his size might of been causing problems. She only came up to his cheek not even that. He liked it though she was small and that meant she was even more deadly he knew she could walk slightly and that must be due to her size. He was so big the leaves always rustled when he walked. Having shadows must also be helpful he thought.

Umbra felt like screaming out in frustration. This bright figured stood before her and yet it was not her focus. No all she could see was the velvet colored mare that was sneaking her frosty away. He was to innocent to understand her conniving ways. She wanted to steal her best friend. She'd NOT have it. Never before had she ever met a mare she disliked. She snorted her ears twitching as a wave of anger rolled through her. She got heated merely thinking about her, her prim and proper looks, all nice neat and clean kept. A day walker one who listened to the birds and loved the day time. She scoffed at her, how Frosty could be friends with the mare baffled her when she was such a good friend. She'd never blame Frosty though, her friend was flawless, the prefect guy, whom ironically she held no romantic attachment to just some serious possessive issues. She'd never see them as issues though.
The orange mass ahead of her made noise that sounded like words but she payed no mind to them, they'd bounce around till her temper ebbed and her focus shifted. It then moved but it was all really lost to her blind with fury she merely saw the mass kneel down and then the word witch came down from the mass of words he'd said. Sure the others were still bouncing around waiting to be noticed but the witch one stuck first. "This prim and proper prisy day walking miss I'm gonna steal your best friend without a second thought person is the problem." She'd regret her words later not because they were untrue but because she told someone. "Just thinks hey you don't need a best friend I'm going to take him. And whats he do just follows along. Just take advantage of him why don't ya. Hmm? Oh he doesn't know better? Of Course not your a little best friend stealing WITCH. She needs to leave and be GONE. That's my problem. She needs to get gone. She needs to leave my Frosty alone. Poor Frosty doesn't see that she's stealing him away from me."

So that was her problem she hated someone a mare by the sounds of her insults. The mare was trying to steel her best friend away and for that he was going to make this unknown mare pay. He promised to help Umbra even if she had no payed any notice to his words. When she was cooled off perhaps his words would sink in. Now he needed to address this issue and help her to calm down and see how he could help. He would not hurt the other mare but he would do his best to fix the problem. Possibly he could talk to this frosty fellow and convince him the mare is bad news? He had never met the two and wondered why Umbra hated the mare well he knew she was steeling her best friend..Wait.. Did Umbra like frosty..? Was that why this was such a big deal? She felt as if the mare was pulling her love and friend away? No..He shook his head that cant be he would not believe it someday she would love him and frosty and this mare would pass right..?
"So someone is trying to steel your best friend..How may i be of service? I am willing to help you get rid of this thorn in your side. I might be able to do something but i will never harm or hurt. I understand your anger for this mare seeing as she is pretending to be everything when she is nothing but a passing face. Does she know how you even feel..? Frosty he must mean much to you for this to bother you like it does. You insult her like no other i am here to help. If this is how i can prove myself to you even if its not i vow to help"
He nods but pain shows in his eyes for a moment but then is replaced with determination to prove himself. Whatever it took to get Umbra to think of him hoe hr thought of her.

Umbra couldn't stand the thought really. Gone, poof, if only she'd vanish into thin air. Her tail whipped to the side. No more thoughts really formed other then the pure rage that was fear of losing her childhood friend. "How can you help? She's a filthy little witch, all prim and proper. With her stupid giggles, and batting eyes. Her love of the early bird song. Her fascination of frosty." She scoffed and then mad an odd gagging sound. Truly disgusted and oblivious for the fact that it could be more then just merely the other mare just wanting to take Frotsy away from her. "Never done nothing to her and she's stealing him away."
She tossed her mane to the other side and looked up at the sky her mane fell to cover one of her armored shoulders. She glared at the moon as if it were the bane of all her problems which she suspected it might be. Maybe the other mare felt she had a right to him them both being primarily day walkers... NO. No it wasn't so. She took a deep breath and then looked back down and once more saw the large orange mass in front of her. She frowned and then as if a bucket of ice water was dumped upon her she skittered back. "MY SISTER!?!" He knew something of Pandora. Well then surely it made sense that he would know her name. Though she was surely surprised he'd lived, by any means at all. Thousands of questions threatened to leap forth from her mouth as she was severely worried about her sister. Even had she not begun to remember the Stallion she'd have believed they had met before. "Your insane. Are you sure you've only met my sister. It seems quite so that you've lost your inkling of sanity in regards to your company, and I assure you meeting my mother you will nt come back sane. Gallivanting around in the dark of night, approaching shadow mares with Walker blood. I believe you sir have a death wish." She'd yet to concern herself with whom she was confronting again as she had earlier. Though it time, quite soon in time she'd find herself back at square one. Jumping from one focus to another, in the time her focus was her sister."Was that all the message you have, she wants to see me? Lot good you are as a messenger, I can't see someone I know nothing about. Her whereabouts, where she wants to meet nothing. Braving your life to return a half message." She tsked shaking her head at the orange mass. It was sad to see her so swept up in thoughts and emotions that she ended up only able to focus on one distinct thought.

He really had no idea of how to help Umbras thoughts were right. How could he helped if he knew not who he was to go after? He had no idea who this mare was or who Frosty was if he knew them perhaps he might of had an idea. He started to think deeply though how could he drag a mare away who was in love..? He knew this was about jealousy and love he would rather not interferer with this all but he had got himself in this and he would stay in it. He did not want Umbra to loose her best friend even if he could become something more to her in the future.
"She sounds like a no good mare like one of them who pretends to win a stallion over..I can understand your hate for her but i know it is burning inside you or else it would of never came up. I am unsure how i can help but i promise you i will..Perhaps i could meet her or Frosty and convince one of them there choices are wrong?"
He was stunned at her hate for this mare she was practically gagging at the mention of her growling and pretending she was right next to her. He wanted to know how hate could run this deep. Well he never had a best friend or anyone trying to steel his love..He supposed if someone tried to take Umbra even if she did not feel for him he would grow angry and be the same way wondering why someone had stolen his friend or his lover.
"You never did anything to her but she had done something to you. You..We must fix this problem i wont allow her to ruin your life and mine at the same time. She will not steal him away..But have you ever considered Frosty might be ... Happy? Perhaps your outlook is wrong..Even so your pain runs deep i can see it in your eyes and the way your acting...I will help you get rid of the pest"
He had no choice but to go along with this madness and he would. Of course it had the possibility to change him but he was strong and he knew no matter what happened he would still be himself. He would not loose his grasp on the world or go berserk due to this. He was Kamau the brave knight the lion nothing would ever change that. He thought back to his talk with Pandora she was much more upfront claiming right away she could kill him showed him her fangs..He knew she surely was part walker but she had spared him it was all meant to be.
"Yes your sister i would not know her name had we not met not even yours. Umbra and Pandora.. I may be insane but i will gladly accpect that if it means well helping when im not wanted. Cant you tell?? Look me in the eyes and tell me if you cant. There is a reason why i am following you even when you hide. Cant you tell i have feelings for you?"
He knows his reaction may just get him killed but he stays calm feeling glad he finally let it all go. She had to know he loved her even if she ran or if he died well he would be happy to die with her knowing how he felt. If she ran he would run after her once more never stopping not caring if he was insane to pursue one with walker blood in them with a walker of a father he did not care about any of that. She would open to him someday and he would not stop till that happened.
"I met your sister indeed she is transparent like you her fangs and armor slightly different..Her personality she threatened to kill me upon our meeting of course i never showed fear part of why she spared my life? I may have a death wish but im not afraid..You brought me in the first time we met made me want to help you..That may have been your biggest mistake because you made a friend even if your not friends back. You shadow mares are something else and i am drawn to you never your Sister only you"
He smiles in the light wondering what might happen next. Would she let him help or run from his words? His feelings would never change but if she found someone else or even went for Frosty he would end up heart broken but that was a chance he was willing to make.
"I will risk my life a thousand times if it means i can see you again. She does want to see you i could read the expression in her eyes i do bet i could find her again like i found you. Would you be willing to take that chance?"
