Things have been rather peaceful in Artali herd, and one certainly could not complain about that. Dasher had been taking his duties of outrider most seriously! Plus the fact that he was now a father. He was quite proud of that fact, being the first bull to have any offspring in the herd. That was certainly nothing to scoff at. He loved how that bit seemed to make Donner uncomfortable.
Despite it all, Dasher's personality could not be tamed, and he was still often seen showing off his speed in random bursts whenever he got the notion. Quite the silly reindeer, he was. However, even his speed could not give him as much pride and contentment as his family gave him.
Seren and Fenna had grown from two small fawns to lovely young cows. Dasher was willing to bet they would catch the eye of some of his comrades in the herd sooner or later, especially as Anlach approached. Seren took after her mother, and Fenna was likened to himself. They and their mother, he simply adored.
The jingling of bells could be heard as the proud, speedy bull walked atop a hill that overlooked those grazing below. Eyes fondly alighting upon Seren as she bucked and reared in a moment of playfulness. Despite her growing stature, she was still as young and spry as the day she was born. Chasing a butterfly as it flittedn between wildflowers.

Dancer was just relieved of her outrider duties because of her pregnency. She was getting ready to return to the ranks though and was teaching the wild Fenna to learn the outrider ways. She wasn't listening to her mother though.
Suddenly, she cought sight of her sister. "Seren!" she laughed running off. Dancer sighed. She had too much of her father in her to be tamed. She even had a touch of his speed. She pranced after her speedy daughter, the bells on her neck singing a tune to her step.

Dasher's bellowing laughter could be heard as he watched the antics of his daughters, and their mother who tried to control Fenna.
Seren looked up delightedly as she saw her sister coming towards her, "Fenna!" She called back, tossing her head which was now adorned with a small set of antlers. Rearing up on her hind legs, she pawed in the air at her twin playfully.
Deciding to join in on a bit of the fun, Dasher came streaking down the hill. His bells ringing merrily as he sped towards the trio of females. Dancer really should lighten up and play, atleast that's what he thought! Let the girls have their fun... they're still young after all! Thus, he came up behind his cow and nipped her rump, "Tag!" he shouted, before darting of. Seren squealed in delight at seeing her dad and the intiation of a new game. The young cow taking off in the same direction as Dasher. Although her speed couldn't compare to his.

Dancer rolled her eyes at the bull's game. She trotted slowly after them. "Mother," Fenna groaned running beside Dancer, but out of reach, "you're not playing this game right." Dancer suddenly leaped and twisted in midair to nudge Fenna with a back hoof. "I'm not?" she giggled taking off at a quick gallop. Fenna was stunned. Her mom could move like that?! With a small laugh, Fenna dashed after her sister in an attempt to get the tital it off of her.

Father and daughter slowed down a bit after having put some distance between themselves and Dancer. The two of them glancing at each other as the cow didn't seem to be playing along. That is until Fenna was tagged.
Seren then squealed in delight when she saw her sister coming for her. The young cow turning and taking off in a random direction, trying to avoid being tagged.

Fenna chased her sister across the feild. Dancer saw this as an opperitunity to nuzzle Dasher without the kids knowing. She trotted up to the panting bull and rubbed her nose against the fur on his neck. "I love you," she huffed.
Fenna happened to see the tender moment and got sly idea. She stopped chasing her sister and fell low to the ground. She began to sneak towards mom and dad in hope that she wouldn't be it for too much longer.

Seren stopped and blinked as she realized she wasn't being chased anymore. Hm? Catching sight of the sneaking Fenna heading towards their parents, she grinned and watched.
Dasher smiled and nuzzled her back, "I love you too" he replied, not at all noticing Fenna sneaking up towards them. He didn't care what Donner or any of the other reindeer thought... Dancer was the best cow around.

"Dasher? Is something troubling you?" Dancer asked, "You seem so....Fenna!" The cow reared up just as Fenna popped out of the grass.
"Got'cha!" she sang tagging Dad on the flank with her velvet nose. Kicking up her hooves, Fenna dashed down the hill. Dancer laughed before turning and running opposite of Fenna. The game was still on.

"Well...' Dasher started, for he had to admit, something was troubling him. However, before he could answer, Fenna popped out of the grass and tagged him. "Hey!" he shouted, watching as the girls ran off. Huff! As if they could out run him! King of Speed! Dasher took off after them in a full out sprint. However, this time he was going for Seren and managed to bump her with his snout as they were running. He then wheeled around quickly and took off in the other direction, while Seren went after her sister.

Fenna was running out of breath. She saw Seren coming up on her and tried to wheel away. The frantic "deer-in-the-headlights" feeling started to set in. She kicked her hooves up and madly dashed towards mom.
Dancer took a breather. Dasher had already run far away from her so they couldn't talk. She was a bit dissappointed. And where were the girls? Suddenly Fenna dashed past her and towards the damp trees. "Oh no," dancer gasped turning slowly.

Seren was getting tired too... and as her sister kept running and past her mother, she slowed down and panted, stopping beside Dancer. "Hey... slow down..." she said tiredly, frowning a bit that she didn't get to tag her sister. Oh well. Dasher blinked and ran after Fenna, speedily darting past Seren and Dancer and after Fenna and to put himself in her path, "Whoa... slow down there kiddo."

Fenna couldn't stop. She slammed into her father, tossing them into the melting snow. She cried out in pain as legs tangled together and antlers were locked with one another.
Dancer gasped and dashed down the hill to aid her daughter and her mate. She still didn't understand why Fenna had done something so reckless and was going to give her a stern talk before the herd went to sleep for the night. With the accident, the game was silently called off.

Well.. Dasher was fine anyway.. although certainly very surprised with his daughter running into him and knocking him off his feet. She didn't have much in the way of antlers, so they didn't really get tangled all that much. He got to his feet, slightly dazed, but shook his head and blinked with concern at Fenny, "Are you alright?" he asked, although he too was wondering what on earth she had been doing.
Seren also came running up, looking equally as confused. "Um... what was that all about?" she asked, glancing between her sister, father and then her sister again.

Fenna blinked up at her parents, her eyes aglow with shame. "Dad....mom....sister...." she sobbed. The horrible images of the one demon she saw while "running away" kept coming back to her. It scared her to no end. She curled up into a ball, trembling with fear.
Dancer was at a loss of what she should of done. She looked to Dasher, hoping he could help her.
((Hey BP, will you do me the honor of a different rp with Fenna, Seren, and Gluttony.....and any other deer you happen to toss in......?))

Dasher and Seren also blinked at Fenna oddly, not sure what to make of her sudden, odd behavior. Dasher then dipped his head and nuzzled the young cow to try and comfort her. "Its alright, c'mon... why don't you tell us what's bothering you?" Dasher really didn't like to see his little girl upset, and hoped that he could somehow make whatever that was troubling her... go away.
Seren folded her ears back, "Yes tell us... what's wrong, Fenna?" She was rather concerned for her sister, for this just didn't seem like her. A helpless look given to her mother, as if looking for some sort of explanation as to what might be wrong with Fenna.
(( Sure... if you start it. XD ))
