The last of the cuts that he could see was healing up well on his leg. Hopefully he didn't look as bad he had the day he had the day he had looked at his reflection in the small pool he had found. The day after his siblings had left him for dead here.

Another ice-laced wind cut across the dried hillside and he shivered despite himself. He brought himself to his feet and carried himself to a place more guarded by the protective hill behind him. It would snow here within a few days, and for now he was freezing. Curse Verynn and Turus for dragging him out here! Now he would surely freeze and die out here all alone!

The dry grass beneath him made his hide itch and he fidgeted to relieve the irritation. The line of trees that he could see from where he lay was barren, every last leaf ripped from the branches that reached up in vain like bony tendrils to the bitter white and stormy sky.

The stallion sighed and lay his head on his knees. "I miss them. I miss everyone."

Personality: Strong, proud but gentle
History: Jhontie is a lone Stallion looking for his herd after being separated from them when he was young, but how he got separated is not the normal sob story when he was caught by humans or anything like that. He was separated because of his own stupidity.
He wandered off from his mother after she told him not to because she could sense a storm coming meaning the heard needed to move on, but being a typical colt he wandered off and got lost in a forest near by, and as his mother suspected a storm hit. So he found shelter in the hollowed out trunk of a tree and waited for the storm to pass.
When the weather cleared up he set out looking for the field where he left his mother. He found it but there was no sign of the heard.
He has been alone ever since.

The strong stallion pushed against the wind as he sought shelter. He wouldn't normally be out in weather like this but after a recent storm he became disorientated and lost. This area was new to him.

"I can't believe how cold it is" he thought to himself as the icy wind whipped through his mane "These are the times I wish I was a pony...damn them and their thick winter coats"
As he wandered across the baron land he caught a glimpse of something in the distance.

Is that another horse? he asked himself as he peered through his watering eyes What are they doing out here?
The paint eventually ploughed his way to the other horse

"Hello? He said cautiously "Do you need some help?"
He spotted scars that were scattered over the creatures shivering golden body

"Oh My God! What happened to you" The large paint stepped closer to the shivering horse and lay down beside him, attempting to warm him up a bit.

[Captain]

What was this? Another horse? Surely not!
He turned to the stranger as he lay down beside him, his warmth instantly spreading through his body.
"Oh heavens, don't worry about me, this awful cold would have anyone looking shabby," he tried to protest, but his healing cuts and still-bold scars were a dead give away to what could have happened to him.

After another moment, he decided to speak up. "I'm Merle by the way. I didn't expect anyone to be traveling out this way, seeing as my herd would never touch this land for whatever reason."

It was odd, though, for this hillside was usually covered in lush, green grass in the summertime. Then, his herd didn't usually abandon each other and disgrace themselves openly either. Things were changing, that was for certain.
If the acts were not enough proof, the black heart on his neck were evidence aplenty. Those fomr his bloodline never had a markings in black that was not encircled in white.
It was an impurity.

[The Horster Tamer]

"Oh, It's nice to meet you Merle. I'm Jhonti." the stallion replied wit a sheepish grin "The only reason I'm out here is because I'm lost"
Jhonti laughed slightly "Anyway what are you doing out here with those injuries, where is your herd?"

Jhonti knew Merle was probably going to ask there his herd was but Jhonti believed it was wrong for a herd to kick one of their member out which, by the looks of those scars, had happened to Merle.

[Captain]

Merle sighed and worked up a half hearted smile.
"Ah, you know, indulging in the finest lands the All Mother could bless them with. My siblings didn't want me in charge so they got rid of me. No sense in trying to go back to them now."

He looked in the direction the two had run off in and his eyes grew resentful. The mark on his neck was a sign that they were ignoring. Soon the land would wither and die lest they turn from their wicked ways. But no such thing seemed to be in their future.

Soon they would all end up like him. Cold and alone.
But he wasn't alone any longer, was he?

[The Horster Tamer]

"You were supposed to lead and your siblings abandoned you? That is outrageous" Jhonti shouted as he got to his feet and shook his head in anger. "Come on. Show me where your herd is, we will fight to get your herd back.

Fire burned in his eyes, he knew the value of a herd. "Come on." Jhonti said before remembering that Merle was injured. "We shall find better cover for you to recover then we shall track your herd" Jhonti said with a gentle smile "and maybe I can find mine" he thought to himself.

Jhonti moved forward to help Merle to his feet.
