 The mare had been traveling for many weeks but, her efforts were for naught. Huffing out an irritated breath Willow paused to rest..the bunny hopping alongside her seemed relieved that their frenzied pace had stopped. Unable to hold back a small laugh as the floppy eared creature collapsed by her hooves "I know you are tired, we will pause here for now. Surely my wayward little beast of a son won't be too far ahead of us....we will get him." One day. Willow longed to crush the darkness she'd brought into the world..unwillingly cursed. Forever left to wander the world and wonder what could have been. If only she hadn't given birth during the blood moon that fateful night. Shaking away the memories as she too settled against the earth for a few moments of rest. Willow made sure to stay alert. Any number of predators could appear, any number of evil creatures could make themselves known. Meat eaters. Beasts seeking to devour her or the bunny she called family. "Rest easy..I will keep us safe. Just eat and take a break. " Yes. This place looked to be safe enough for the time being, they just had to keep on searching..how hard could it be to find a pawed mutant with long black hair? Surely not that hard.

 Tsalar gave a soft snort. Why was he always alone?He hated how he look,so hideous.No one liked him because of it. His ugly horns,spikes,wings,and feathered a**. Throwing his head he slammed his ram horns against a tree.The last interaction with an other pissed him off.She called him a meat eater,which he wasn't at all.He didn't know if he would like it even. Tsalar hoped that one day something would happen and he wouldn't be on this earth any longer. Let one of those filthy skinwalkers or a kalona eat him up. Would fight back but would most likely loose. This world angered him,everything was so much more ugly in his eyes now. Maybe someone would come along and try to help change his mind,Brin tried,but he wasn't around her so often and they didn't meet up. Hopefully something else would work out for him in the end. All this hate and anger just ruins his mood and makes him a huge sour puss. He didn't like it but what was he going to do about it? He was a mutant and that's how they treated mutants.

Hearing a sound nearby startled the mare into standing, her mouth oh so gently scooping up the startled bunny by her neck. Once said bunny sat atop Willow's back she moved to see who or what had caused such a noise. It had sounded painful, not that she cared much for others well being but..she didn't want to be caught by surprise by a dangerous foe. "Hello?" Voice strong she kept her gaze trained on the trees and brush..quietly shifting her way through till her eyes caught sight of another soquili. Though there was something off. Claws. Claws that made her very uneasy. Still she stood strong...stiffening subtly in case they had to run, in case this meeting was not a safe one. "Was that you making such a wild ruckus?"

Tsalar kept slamming his horns against the tree. He didn't want to stop but when he heard someones voice he lifted up his wings and quickly backed away from the tree.Looking stressed and tense,Tsalar looked at the mare. Snorting her shook out his braid and flicked his feathery tail. "Apparently,I am the only thing around here." He was being nasty to everyone because some mare decided to call him a flesh eating beast. Clenching his talons to the ground,he flared up his feathers."What are you doing out here?Why would you come up onto someone while they're having a rough time?" He growled and noticed a bunny sitting on her back. Wasn't sure how to react to it,Tsalar tossed his head again and looked off into the distance while he was huffing trying to catch his breath. A friend would be nice,to keep around always and to help Tsalar calm down in the most worse times.

Tensing further Willow backed away a step, snorting softly in her own way. Voice not faltering when she spoke again. "I have as much right ot travel these lands as you do. How was I to know you were having a rough time? Am I a mind reader? The answer is NO." Puffing out her chest the mare turned away from him to sniff a few berriers..but, she was no fool and made sure to keep a watch on his actions. It was not her time to die yet. She still had to find her son..to make him pay for her years of sorrow. "Why not calm yourself. Whatever or whoever upset you..does not deserve such a reaction. That's what they want..those that degrade and belittle others. They want you to react, they want to hurt you..to see the pain in your eyes. Don't give them the satisfaction." Speaking from experience and with a note of bitterness in her voice, Willow drifted towards a different berry bush to delicately pluck a few plump ripe pieces away..chewing thoughtfully and then turning to pass a few to her 'daughter'.

Slamming his back claw onto the ground he snarled at the mare. She was right,but it still pissed him off."Whatever." Snorts and keeps looking away from her. He noticed out of the corner of his eye she puffed up and tried to look strong. He wasn't intimidated. "Calm myself? All they want is for me to be more of the monster that I am,be a cold blooded killer and go around slaughtering like hell." Keeps slamming his back claws onto the ground.He didn't like giving them a reaction,but it upset him greatly that he was born this way. He watched her move away to pick up berries. What was she trying to do here? Calm him down or just lead him on to something to hurt him even more?Tsalar folded up his wings and lowered his feathers. What the others were saying about him wasn't so important,but with no one by his side it bothered him so much more than it should."S..she likes those...?" He tried to ask calmly.

Quieting the inner voice. the old voice that would have sneered and agreed with what he said, Willow turned back to look over the stallion. Part of her still feared. Her insides quivered in an unpleasent manner but, some other part of her knew not everyone was a montser because they had mutations. Some could be kind and gentle. "I once thought that mutations make others a monster. I feared them..because someone hurt me in the past..because of the way I was raised. You don't have to be a monster..just ask yourself..'Am I a monster? Do I enjoy destruction?' If the answer is no..then what does it matter what the world thinks of you?" Smiling ever so slightly Willow bent to pluck a few more berries for the precious bunny..voice softening. "Yes, she enjoys many things..we travelled a bit too fast so she's quite tired."

Tsalar didn't feel that way at all. He didn't want to destroy anything other than the ones who bashed him. He didn't think he was a monster besides the fact that he thought everything plus himself was hideous. "No...I don't.." She was right,He wasn't so bad after all."Someone has tried to make me believe this one other time...But it just hasn't stuck into my head that I am just a normal being with mutations.." He sighed slightly. What was he going to do with himself? Maybe there would be something coming along to help him with calming down and hopefully changing his ways. "She...is..."He tried to speak it out of his mouth." She looks so happy to be with you." Not wanting to be rude,he didn't say what his mind told him to say. Didn't want to ruin what could possibly be a....friendship? He somewhat hoped this would be one.

Sensing a bit of hesitation Willow simply gave a nod in reply, head lowering to pluck a few bites of grass past her lips..teeth worrying the sweet flavorful treat until it was ready to be swallowed. "Tell me. What is your name? I am not trying ot make you think anything..you must make choices for yourself. That's the only way that we can grow in this life..to make choices for ourselves. Willow..is my name. The one that rides my back I consider..my child..she is quite precious to me..we are traveling to find my..son..." Eyes narrowing on the word son she snorted a bit and stomped her hoof quietly, just once..onto the earth.

Nodding slightly, Tsalar looked around the ground a bit and felt a little anxious. He then gave a sigh."I know..But sometimes my mind gets the best of me and I can't keep myself calm enough to think for myself.." His ears perked up and blinked a little. "Tsalar.."He said softly and looked at her and the bunny.They...were adorable...Were they?His mind started to flicker between ugly and beautiful.He hated it.Shaking his head,he tried to forget about what his mind was telling him."Willow..Amazing. Where has he gone?Do you need help finding him..?"

Taking in the name with a delicate bow of her head she stepped along the path, listening for the sound of water..a drink would do nicely. After traveling and then speaking this long when she'd grown accustomed to speaking very rarely had really made her throat ache for a drink. "Tsalar..that's a very unique name. He is a grown stallion, with four pawed feet and the tail of a wolf. The one who gifted me with the paw upon my side. The one that will not disappear no matter how much I have tried to wash it away.." Voice lowering..pain flashing in her eyes the mare moved a few steps away..beckoning Tsalar along if he wished to follow. "He was once a member of the flock. The fool. Tangling with such vicious females who only wished for the power flowing through his veins. Help would be nice.."

"Thank you.. " He listened to the mare.Tsalar nodded and wondered why he had gone. "I.." He wasn't sure what to say to her." How rude..." Saying softly as he moved to look at the paw mark upon her side."Why would he do such a thing?" Tsalar slowly followed her,he wasn't sure if she'd trust him just yet but, it seemed like she wanted him to follow. "The flock...What is that?" He wasn't sure what that all was. Pinning his ears,he became a little worried about her safety and he really didn't for anyone. "What do I need to do...Willow?" Tsalar moved forward a bit more to be beside her.

Ears pinning back Willow looked towards the sky above..as if seeking some hidden answer in the blue above. Rude? Ha she could almost laugh but, didn't..the mare could sense how unstable Tsalar was in that moment. How insecure over his own looks..what was she supposed to say? The old Willow would have simply walked off, or perhaps scoffed and said something with venom behind the words. The mare she was now however took time to thing while walking towards the scent of water. "Right now I would like it if you listened...and do not judge me too harshly. As I was once a very sheltered mare who knew nothing of the outside world." Taking a slow steady breath Willow bent her head to avoid a sweeping tree branch. She told the story like one might tell a tall tale but, emotions ran rampant across her face. "Once upon a time....there was a herd. A herd that believed all mutations and differences were evil. that having things like paws, claws, odd tails or anything different made a soquili cursed. Among the herd lived a young mare who was raised in such beliefs..that natural was best, that loving or having children that were not 'natural' would mark the once who had them as a cursed mare/stallion." Sighing at the painful memories Willow paused in their journey and story because they had made it to a little stream of clean clear water. After many slow, long drinks the mare stood straight once more and continued speaking. "The mare met a stallion one night while out away from her herd..she'd become hopelessly lost and ended up wandering aimlessly..fearful..unsure. The stallion was handsome, with mighty hooves that shined like onyx in the moonlight. She was swept up in the magic of the evening, the feel of freedom from a herd that was quite strict. By morning the stallion had left her....it broke the mares heart yet she managed to make it safely home..never knowing that their one night of love would lead to a lifetime of pain." Heart aching she had to stop..the pain was too great. Willow knew she needed to finish, to finally tell someone everything. Already the mare had been trying so hard to repent, to learn from her past mistakes. To Forgive. "Months passed. The mare gave birth to two foals..then under the blood moon only one foal managed to break free. The other did not even move. Fearing it had died the young mother focused on her living offspring, not wishing to lose him too. Though the moment she gazed upon the young ones form it was mutated..with a long wolf tail, sharp fangs and paws. It growled like a carnivorous beast...when it came time to feed the boy he refused everything..and while his mother slept..the colt found his own form of sustenance. Meat. Others of the herd had come to welcome the new foals only to find the mare awakening to the sight of a blood soaked foal, feasting on flesh. For such a closed off herd it was horrifying." Trembling now Willow had to stop..her legs gave out..thankfully the bunny she so lovingly called her daughter hopped off in time to avoid being injured.

Tsalar tossed his head and pinned his ears."Fine.." He would give her a moment to tell him whatever she wanted to. As she started speaking,Tsalar kept his eyes looking ahead of them,and looking for any possible danger.He thought about his paws and odd tail when she mentioned it. Seemed like a rough life. Tsalar followed her and kept listening, it was one story he would never want to go through ever. It was sad.. As the mare kept explaining he noticed her getting weaker and weaker as if the pain in her heart was killing inside her. He wasn't sure what to say for the longest time, it was such an uneasy thing to talk about. When the mare finally finished, she had dropped towards the ground. Tsalar rushed over to her side. "Are you alright??? Tell me you're alright.." He became worried for her well being and he never got worried about anyone. Why did she fall?Why was she hurting? He looked to the bunny for some answers, maybe it could help him understand what was happening to this mare.
