 Zira walked through the tall flowing grasses in the plains. She reflected on the days past, how she and Rahu had gone from foes to friends?((if you could call it that)). Her leg wound was still sore, but that didnt keep her from patroling her territory. Zira scanned for any sign of life growling slightly from the lack of entertainment. She wondered where Rahu was and what he was doing. Was he thinking of her? Did he even care enough to give her a secound thought?

Alora wandered under the moonlight as she often did, staying near to her pond. She had not seen anyone since Rahu had last been there. Her emotions were still confused and mixed, but at least she was over him. He would always be a friend...yes...but she would never see him as a lover or a mate. She snorted at herself, somehow resenting this softness she had allowed to take her over...yet a part of her heart tugged at this kind side, wanting to explore it and let it out. She was still so unsure. Being malicious and sarcastic was all she ever knew. She desperately needed guidance...but who? She flittered her reddish spotted wings, deep in her thoughts. She had been alone for so long. It was time to seek out another, a guide perhaps to help her find the truth within herself. She galloped off in a random direction as thoughts flowed throughout her troubled mind. Who was she really? Could she be a kind mare? Or was she really only fooling herself from what she really was? she needed answers and she needed them now.

Zira's ears twiched as the sound of galloping intruded on the quite plains. She gave a growl of a laugh realizing the sound was still in her territory. The end of her boredom had come she half hoped it was Rahu as she begain to zero in on the sound. Moving with stleath and speed she snuck through the grass only the moon light shining in her red and yellow eyes would give her postition away. Zira spotted the strange flutter, she wondered what was wrong with this soquilli. She had never seen a flutter before so Alora looked quite odd to her.
Zira smiled making her way towards Alora attempting to sneak up on her with intentions of chasing Alora off of her land.

Alora continued to gallop hard, turning her head left and right looking for another but she did not pay attention to what was ahead of her so she did not notice she was fast approaching the tan lion marked mare a short distance away. Thoughts continued to swarm through her mind, confusing her all the more, which in turn only made her angry with herself. She allowed her wings to spread open, revealing the wings hidden under the reddish spotted shell that protected them, ready to take flight and perhaps scan the ground from the above in the skies. It was then she suddenly noticed a blur of a tan colored coat, the same color as the long grasses directly in front of her, her emerald orbs wide in surprise. She dug her hooves in attempting to skid to a halt rather then collide with this other. She threw her weight to the left in hopes she might skid just past and miss the collision entirely. Her red and black streaked mane flew into her face, blinding her sight. She closed her eyes tightly and she could only hope she had calculated right and did not crash into the camoflagued soquili.

Zira's eyes widened as she tried to turn and run out of the way only to fall fowards from her bummed leg. Feeling the suddenly collision she rorared rolling to the side cursing the stupidity of this mare and herself for not moving quick enough. She struggled to her feet the wound reopened from the fall. Zira walked over to the other mare circling her growling.
"How foolish can you be?! Crash into me on my territory no less, be gone with you less you suffer my wrath!" Zira said with an almost roaring growl.

Alora's hope though had not come true...she indeed found herself in a collision with this other, legs flailing wildly as she met the ground. She laid there a moment, body aching and sore..she was sure she was covered in dirt. Slowly she got to her feet, checking for any wounds or injury, and as she did so she had an anry growling, mare in circling her. "Whats your problem? It was an accident. I didn't see you hiding in the grass. Its not my fault you didn't make yourself easy to see....I imagine you heard or saw me coming." She snorted in irritation, angry at this mare's reaction to an accident that was clearly her fault. Satisfied she seemed to have no injuries aside from a few small scrapes, Alora stood up and turned to face this mare, her green eyes blazing as the other grew more aggressive. "Your territory? Last I heard all land was free for all to roam. If anyone is going to have this land and rule it along with ruling over all the other soquilis, its me. Bunch of pitiful, weak soquilis they have become.." She stomped a hoof and snorted again, her expression quickly turning to a threatening one. She noticed the open would on the other mare and would use it for leverage if she should need it. "Bring your wrath on! I fear no one you stupid weak mare! Not even Rahu as strong and powerful as he is, but then we are friends, so he and I have no reasons to fight. I'm sure you;ve heard of him. Everyone knows Rahu"

Zira still circled Alora growling yet lower as to hear what the other mare had to say. Never had there been a mare to take her threats in such a way she grinned her head hanging low and her hunches high. This mare reminded Zira of herself in a way. She snapped abit in anticipation of a battle, but as she heard Rahu being named she twiched her ears in intrest.
"Nice...strong talk for such a.......rather.... deformed mare." Zira eyes the mare's odd wings.
"Have you ever really battled Rahu are all you just a bag of hot air?" Zira asked stopping infront of Alora

Alora watched the mare intently, her glare meeting the gaze of the other. She stood still and kept Zira facing her, ready for an attack as the mare assumed a strange pose, much like a lion ready to pounce its prey. She snorted in anger and snarled as Zira spoke, "Deformed? Hardly! These are wings and such beauty can allure most stallions and fool most mares until its too late. I've successfully made myself innocent and sweet to others until the right moment to attack! " She pulled her lips back in more of a snarl, exposing bared teeth. "Rahu and I have never had need to fight. We are 2 of a kind in a way. We both enjoy the misery of others at times. I am just stating I do not fear nor would I ever have need to. The last time I saw him, we spoke about his recent...issues.....which you would have to ask him for details on...and I helped him disinfect his wounded leg from a battle." She moved forward, snarling she snapped her teeth mere milometres from Zira's face. "Now do you plan on starting something or are you just all talk? If you are then shut up and stop wasting my time." Her emerald orbs blazed with that old mean spirit...so this was her omen...this was what she was meant to be. So be it. At least she knew who she was now.

Zira growled snapping back before whipping around and going for Alora's neck. Something happened a surging pain shot through Zira's wound leg and she gasp as the leg gave way uder her.
"I should have listened to Rahu...." Zira glared at the other mare and tried to get up though failing she snapped at Alora's leg trying to let her know she may be down but she wasnt out.

Alora stood perfectly still and calm when Zira snapped back. She was used to this from the odd mean stallion. Suddenly Zira lunged for ehr neck and Alora braced herself, rearing slightly so that Zira would miss her neck and perhaps meet a hoof in the face if she could time it right. But alas it never happened...Zira collapsed, moaning something about listening to Rahu...and Alora saw the fresh would oozing more blood as the mare tried to get up. She let her feet touch the ground without striking herdown, although she could have easily. The mare was a pitiful sight trying to snap at her legs, but such spirit, unlike any other mare. She lowered her muzzle close to Zira's face, "Normally I would stomp the life out of any mare that dared to attack me, let alone talk back. But you...you have spirit...a spirit I like....you're deliciously evil..I like that. So I shall spare your life. The world needs more stronger, mean mares and less pathetic, weak mares." She spotted some nearby aloe plants by the small pond nearby...hmmmm that wound would need disinfecting soon and unless this mare rested, that would was going to keep splitting open. She moved to grab some of those along with some wet leaves to wipe the wound clean. Returning she dropped them in front of the tan mare. "You can wash your wound with those, then apply that aloe plant. The sticky liquid inside has a fast healing ability and it also disinfects.Thats how I cared for Rahu's wound."

Zira snapped at Alora's face as she got close to Zira's.
"Just shut up if it wasnt for that stupid bear Id have you pinned in the dirt by now." As Zira spoke she realized something was wrong the wound must have already been infected. She had felt like she had been getting dizzy before , but now the feeling was stronger. Her vision burled slightly Zira let her head flop on the ground not feeling strong enough to keep it up.
Zira snorted her breathing changing as she paniced slightly. And she wasnt worried for her life she thought more of how pitiful she must look.
Zira felt like going to sleep and was falling into the idea of doing so though part of her wanted to fight it. She had never been in this state before, it seemed for once she just may have to trust in someone, but the question was would the other mare take the time to help her more than she already had.

Alora simply chuckled. "Excuses, excuses. Bear or no bear. Anyways you need that wound disinfected. It keep resplitting and I can see its infected. You've lost quite a bit of blood from havie it keep splitting open, instead of healing." She shook her head. She could see the loss of blood and infection was taking its toll on the tan mare now, and she was obviously too weak to care for herself now. Alora laid down in front of this mare who was still a stranger to her...she didn't even know her name. She took the wet leaves and cleaned the wound thoroughly, making sure to gentlyclean every groove. It was a deep would from the looks of it. That bear must have clawed her good. "Try not to fall asleep, its the infection and loss of blood...a little while once its been disinfected then you can sleep. You should really rest and stay off your feet for a few days, let the wound heal. If you wish it I will stay with you, just to make sure no others try to harm you...I can just tell them you;re asleep so they won't think of you as weak." She smirked a moment, but she knew her words could be heard for the time being. "You know how those weak-minded mares and stallions are...always quick to place a label on us when down...I've been down before too...although it was recent confusion about who I was..." She grabbed the aloe leaves and bit into it so the liquid flowed out. she smeared it generously all over the wound. The aloe would act fast and kill the infection. This mare would need to rest if she wanted to overcome this. The loss of blood could easily kill her if she didn't.

Zira replied with hateful comments in her mind as Alora first spoke to her.
Jerking abit as Alora begain to touch her still untrusting of the other mare. As Zira realized the other mare was helping her she was shocked and freaked out at the same time.
She went from being grateful to angery thinking the mare would want something in return for this service.
Zira had never had an act of kindness given to her without someone exscepting payment for it.
Though as she listened to the mare she wondered if this mare was really helping just because she felt like it.
"......Zira....." Was all she was able to speak at the moment though she had meant to introduce herself.

Alora felt the jerks and just ignored them. It was understandable she should be distrustful of a mare she just met, and one she had tried to pick a fight with. Had this been any other mare, Alora would have probably stomped on her and then left her alive barely to bleed to death, suffering. The other uttered a single word. Zira. Yhis must be her name. It was hard to tell how she was reacting in her severely weakened state. "Zira, interesting name. I am Alora." She used her tongue to spread the aloe since there was really no ther way to do it without hands. "There. Its applied and I can see it working already. It won't heal in a day but it will stop the bleeding. I can apply this daily, a few times a day, until you have healed enough to do it yourself. For now you need rest and to stay off your feet." Alora stood up, thinking she should fetch water and food to be kept nearby so Zira would not move for now. She trotted to the pond again, keeping a watchful eye on the mare, looking for something she could use for water. Ahhhh, that would due. She found and old turtle shell....that would holdwater nicely. Gripping it with her teeth she scooped up some water and took it back to Zira. Placing the water next to her, she decided food would come later once the mare was rested. She'd be sleeping soon. "There is water next to you should you need it." She stood watching her, and watching for any others that could come by.

Rahu was off walking towards Alora and Zira without even knowing. all he figured was he was going get himself a drink after having just been out for a run that he liked to have. All he had on his mind at the moment was getting his drink then going off to maybe rest a bit before wandering around again. Flicking his tail with a snort, he did not realize he was getting close to where Alora and Zira where.
