The dark grey figure trotted in,her eyes immediately adjusting to the dark and she found herself in the main cavern where seven tunnels led to more and more caves,caverns and tunnels. She whinnyed and waited for Promise.

Promise walked silently up behind his new mate, laying his head on her rump. "Honey, I'm home!" he called softly, laughing.

She turned to smile hugely at him and she nuzzled his head when she turned around. "Welcome." She teased,nibbling on his forelock.

Promise smiled and pressed his muzzle gently to Shakira's. "Ditto, my dear." He looked around the caves, analyzing each detail he could see. "Shall we explore and discuss?" he suggested.

"Sure."She replyed,trotting down the cave as her hooves clattered and she could hear Promise following.

Promise walked beside her, touring the caves. "So," he started," how should we run this?" He looked over at her, smiling lightly.

"We could mark the caves with juice from berries and could smell where we put it to tell where we're out. Plus we need to expand the herds size...."She teased rubbing up on him.

Promise purred,"Is it just me, or was that rather suggestive?" He smiled and chuckled, nuzzling Shakira's side gently. "Great ideas, love. But which to do first?"

"Suggestive,my love. I have no clue what first to do."She sighed,nuzzling him again.

Promise smiled.''Well, we could claim out lands or we could raise our population. You pick what we do first,love," he said, looking around at the stone walls.

A quite large mare wandered into the caves. Her ghostly white coat gleamed, her bright blue eyes were different colors, one was a dull shade and the other bright. "Hello?" her voice made the sounds of angels and her figure stood out in the cave. She was pregnant but one couldn't tell just by looking at her. She had the typical dished face of an Arabian and those ears that were slightly tilted in. She pawed the ground and said again, "Hello?"

"Raise the population." She whispered to Promise."Hello. Mght I ask what you might be doing in these caves?"She asked the mare,standing in front of her.

Midnight's Promise walked slowly; silently up to the pregnant mare. "What matters why she's here, if she's here all the same?" Promise asked, more to himself than the others. "Hello, mare," he said to the mare in front of him now.

"Ok."Shakira sighed.

"I was just looking to join a herd."

She snorted, nuzzling her leg.

Shakira dipped her head to the mare."Being that your the first member you can take the place of beta,if you want."She bellowed.

"Really? Okay. Thanks.."

Promise nodded aproovingly at his new beta. His dark head cocked to the side. "Do you have a mate, ma'am?" It wasn't that he cared, he just didn't want some stallion to try and steal his new mare.

She shook her head, "No."

Promise narrowed his eyes, hoping dearly that she wasn;t lying. She'd pay if she was. "Good girl. Feel free to help yourself to anything you may find in the caves as long as Shakira and I know." He gently nuzzled his mate.

She smiled, "Thank you"

. . .*waits for Sapheera*

(*Blows up because Tato finally posts again then reappears fully built. Glomps Tato*Why'd you leave us...for....soo....long?????)
Shakira smiled and flicked her tail over her mate's back before nuzzling his maw.

*madly hugs Sahpeeria* I don't know! I didn't mean to! I'll be staying here forever and ever now.

Promise smiles and gently nuzzles back. "So," he starts," What were you saying about 'increasing the population'?" He smirked lightly.
