After wandering into a new land, Phantom began to explore. He inspected the ground,the trees,the grass, and the creek. After deciding that this land was unowned he thought to himself 'I like this place. I think I will claim it...any mares and foals will love it here...its perfect.' He took a deep breath of air and snorted. 'Now' He thought 'to find a mare to share this bit with.' With that he continued his exploration.

Firefly came into the new land, following the hoof prints, hoping to finally meet someone. She heard the snort of a stallion , pricked her ears foreward and continued on. She made sure to take in all sights as to not miss anything...especially the stallion, as she had leant not to trust them. Suddenly some birds flew up outta know where and startled her. she snorted and continued on.

Phantom watched the young mare quietly from the shadows, thinking to himself 'I knew I expected some mares an all to come here eventually...but so soon?' After watching her for a few moments he came out of the shadows. He then said "Hello. My name is Phantom. Might I ask who you are and what your doing on my land?"

She looked at the stallion and replied "My name is Firefly.I am truely sorry if I have upset you with my intrusion, but I came here as I noticed someone had been wandering recently, and I wanted to meet someone. It gets lonely wandering around with no one to speak to."

He smiled at Firefly and said " I understand. You may stay here as long as you like." He lowered his head to graze. After a few moments he thought to himself 'I am bord' Then he got an idea. He walked over to firefly and nipped her hindquarters and trotted off with his tail flagged. Laughing he said "Betcha can't catch me!" With that he cantered of.

At being nipped she flicked her ears in annoyance, while watching the stallion acting like a yearling. She thought to herself ' What is with him?!' As she started to graze again she heard his challenge and lifted her head and replied " you don't know what you just got yourself into!" With those words she flew off after him. While running she thought ' her won't know what hit him. No one has ever been able to out run me!'

Hearing Firefly's words he looked back over his shoulder to see her flying up FAST! He looked at her with disbelief thinking 'Geez shes fast! And to think I was gonna take it easy on her!' Her smiled and decided to buck and take off faster. He began thinking bout how long it had been since he had such a good race. He thought 'Too Long, and too many memories...' Looking back over his shoulder he saw Firefly was still gaining on him fast. 'If I plan on beating her I need to stay focused!' He thought while speeding up yet again.

Firefly laughed at Phantom's effort to stay ahead of her. she picked up speed till she caught up with him. While running past she nipped his shoulder, and said " How do you expect to catch me with how slow you run? Prehaps I should slow down a bit to give you a chance?" She went ahead of him being sure to stay just out of his reach.

Phantom had to laugh at how Firefly kept teasing him. After a few more moments he called to her "You win!" He slowed to a trot than a walk and finally stopped. He stood panting and waited for Firefly to to come back to him being too tired to and tring to reserve what was left of his energy.

After hearing his words admitting his defeat ,Firefly trotted back to Phantom and said "You look a bit worn out." She began to graze. After a while she asked " Have you seen anyone else around here?"

Phantom looked up at Firefly and said "No...fraid I haven't yet." He lowered his head and started grazing again. After several minutes of silence he looked at Firefly again and asked " Would you mind if I asked about your past...and about how you ended up here...alone?"

Firefly looked up at him, startled by his question. She looked away and began to tell him about her life. She said " After I was born my herd had ...some issues. My father was with one half of the fued and my mother on the other. With that our herd split and went their seperate ways. Not much more to say on that part...but then within the next year there was a huge storm. The herd went off in search of shelter. It was so dark and hard to see. Before I knew it, I had been seperated from my herd. I searched for 2 years before giving up and looking for a new place to live. Thats when I came here. Thats bout it. How bout your story now?"

Phantom hesitated before starting his history. When he spoke he said "I spent the first five years of my life with my herd. My father taught me all I would need to take over the herd when he was unable to. One day while I was playing with the foals I saw a beautiful young filly in another herd near us.I fell in love with her that moment.My father told me I coulden't see her, and naturally I disobeyed him. I snuck over each night to speak to her. We started making plans to run off. On the night we planed to leave my father followed me and before I knew what happened He attacked me. He banished me from the herd. After that I tried to find Kally...but I havent had any luck in almost 2 1/2 years. I decided to look somewhere I haven't, here of course. Even here I have had no luck. I decided to settle here and hope that maybe one day she will come here. I have my doubts though...its very likely that she has a family within her herd. Thats all I have to say." He lowered his head and began to graze again.

Eclipse came into the new land, aware that there were new horses in the area. She watched as two horses raced across the land neighing in their peaceful pleasure and how they stopped and talked about their past. Shaking her head she sighed, god what it was like to be in love she thought to herself. Taking a bounded leap she jumped over the bushes that concealed her pressance. She watched as Phantom and Firefly jumped as her hooves hit the ground with a small thud and her slim body floating through the air toward them. Eclipse snortted and shook her long forelock out of her face. Turning her eyes upon Phontom and Firefly she spook. "I am Eclipse, founder of Horse Haven and Princess to it. My family once owned this great land.." She paused as she glanced around. "Anyway who might you be?" She asked curiousity sparking in her eyes.
