+25 Tier Points for Daemyn
Daemyn cursed himself inwardly. He really did live up to his name, Oaf, having almost send Charlie crashing into the lapping waves. The reality wasn't quite that dramatic, but topped with the bay stallions stiff reaction and labored breathing, Dae might as well have dangled him over the edge. Golden ears drooped and he licked his lips, smiling apologetically.

Strange green plants, the like of which Dae had never seen before, clung to the sandy path, and they were slimy and slippery as he had discovered. As he watched a small pile of green, a hard shelled creature scuttled out from under, and rushed to the sand's edge, flinging itself into the cold, salty water. Dae shook his head with a disbelieving snort. That poor creature, whatever it was, must surely have been spooked by the mighty horses, and failed to sense danger. Now it was probably dead, drifting to the bottom of the water.

Blue eyes settled on Charlie as he spoke, forming elaborate plans that seemed very plausible in the shire-mix' mind. He didn't doubt for a second that Ziara would be able to fend off any hostile horse, stallion or mare, but where would they get the box? And now Dae was supposed to do the dispatching? He snorted loudly and stomped one massive hoof into the soft sand, flattening his ears.

''Oh, I don't know about that idea, Charlie, '' he mumbled slowly. ''I dunn see where we're going to get a tree here, and I don't much like the idea of biting anyone. Why dunn we take these here, erh... plants 'n put a skirt on you, eh? Offer you as tribute, a nice mare to distract them? ''

Dae smiled at his own funny, yet clever plan. Once in their midst, Charlie could tear all the throats he wanted! His attention slipped to Ziara as she spoke in a hushed, serious tone, and it began to dawn on him that this scouting mission wasn't all fluffy bunnies and butterflies. There was an actual potential of getting hurt. Stories of bachelor cruelty flooded his mind, scars as evidence flashing before his eyes. He realized he'd seen their handy work on many friends.

Something warm fluttered around in his chest, a feeling he couldn't quite put his hoof on. It was dark and ugly, like a caged cat. ''They won't cross, '' he promised in a somber tone, brow furrowing. ''I'll be a living wall if I hafta and if they want blood our priority has to be keeping the herd safe. ''

Ears flicked forward as he raised his head, taking proper note of the vague, moving figures. ''We have to meet them as far from Olde land as possible. C'mon. ''

With those words, the normally docile Daemyn set into a brisk trot, pushing past any who didn't speed up.


Right, I think I simply have to admit defeat with this peace, and leave it as done. The image looks much grander in my mind, but I just cannot pull it off, siigh! On the positive side, I do like the changes I made. Got rid of the snow, added shadows and darkened the whole thing a bit. MythicalPrancer 's Ziara,  LeavingNeverland X-Firefly 's Ciarra, ThatStupidDeer 's Kasai and of course my own Daemyn
