So you think you know how this goes yeah? been travelling for miles, seen many places, learnt plenty of things. Think you're the smart one in this big old game of cat and mouse we call life do you? well i'm sorry, we can't all live fantasies. no, change is in the air, the heavens are opening to reveal a new path for you to take. The spirits are coming alive again. Awakening from their endless slumber. The spell laid upon them from the day the first equine settlers arrived has been broken. Those both good and bad are discovering powers they never knew existed before the turning of the earth. The elements are choosing their masters. Perhaps now those who reside here will want to learn the history of the land. Rather than just tales, twisted and changed throughout time. It's not much, but this is the best recollection you will get..

Argetlam smiled and nodded her head in agreement. She shook her head, and smoothed her pelt with some self grooming. She then shook her body vigorously and her hairs fell into place. She snorted away. She looked to Dogstar expectantly to continue on his travel. She would follow him forever. She felt it necessary to trust him. But then again, little suspicions still hung on her mind like morning dew. It always went away, as the day progressed and got warmer. Hopefully it would be the same.

Dogstar laughed gently as the Earth told him a secret. Great sir, your mare Argetlam is getting herself pretty for this trip. Dogstar smiled as he looked to Argetlam. "Are you ready dear lady Argetlam?" He asked with a gentle smile. Then he turned a bit from her and picked his feet up into a gentle forward motion. He shot a glance back toward Argetlam with a smile. he was going to ask her something important, but he'd wait for her to catch up to his long strides.

Soon the stallion was pivoting away, and the mare followed him. She heard the earth whisper, but it was meant for him, and he alone. Soon the earth spoke to her as well: You have nothing to fear from this stallion. He is a true Earthen, and true soul. Argetlam nodded her agreement hurridely, and she stepped by his side. She thudded by his side, her body respectfully behind his head. She had been 'taught' severly not to step with the lead, her head shouldn't be even with his. Instead, by his shoulder or barrel. As she followed him quickly earth spoke to her once more: He is hiding something.
This instantly set her on alarm, but soon the plants swayed, trees rattled their branches in a soothing melody. She realized it wasn't any evil feelings he was hiding, or Earth wouldn't try so hard to soothe her tensed muscles. She relaxed, and inhaled deeply to fully calm her nerves. She quickly let her head bob near his barrel again. Her eyes determined. Hearing his words let her truly believe he wasn't going to hurt her. She bobbed her head and said, Yes. I will follow you wherever. A faint smile that was usually non existent around stallions played on her lips. She and Earth exchanged a few thoughts as usual. She liked talking to her 'friend', so to say, because they usually chatted and had a great time while travelling. Soon they quieted and waited for Dogstar to say something.

Dogstar smiled as he looked back at Argetlam. She was smart dropping back into place where second in command would stand. Perfect. She already knew her place. He smiled as he heard her words, Yes. I will follow you wherever. Dogstar gave a gentle laugh as he slowed his pace and dropped back a little as his soft eyes met Argetlam's. "Argetlam, would you do your herd the honour of being my Beta Mare?" He asked as he slowed his pace from a trot to a walk as his auds tilted the mare's direction as he waited for her answer.

As the stallion dropped back a bit, Argetlam nearly stopped. Soon the stallion did as well, and earth joked softly; Here it comes..! Confused Argetlam met Dogstar's gaze, and surprised herself by holding the gaze longer than she normally met stallions eyes. His question caught her off guard, and she let a tiny gasp escape her maw. Of all things she thought was going through his mind about her, he asked her to be second in command. Earth seemed to laugh using the grasses and Argetlam felt her ears grow hot. Never had she thought she would get the priviledge to be the beta! Her answer caught in her throat, but soon she managed to shove her anxiety down her throat and reply strongly;
I shall be honored to accept your offer, Dogstar..
Argetlam smiled and met his gaze again. She gave him a tender nudge and sighed. This was where she was ment to be. A stag she could trust, and a good position. Now she could truly relax by a stallion. Earth felt her contenment and moved the grasses in a soothing melody. You see, child, I told you that this day would come. Argetlam nodded in agreement. Earth had told her that she would find peace witha stallion who thought highly of her. She now looked expectantly at Dogstar, to continue the patrol of the territory.

I gave a short laugh as Argetlam halted off my flank. Never had a mare been so perfect for the position I had offered to Argetlam. I smiled as I looked toward her. Earth whispered to me only for my ears You've chosen well Dogstar. Argetlam is just right for your Beta. I smiled as I met her gaze with my own soft one. My herd was growing and the second ranking member in the herd was Argetlam, and she was a mare. I was doing well for myself.
I smiled as her words entered my auds. I shall be honored to accept your offer, Dogstar.. I smiled again as she gently nudged me. She was content with her rank. Earth knew she was as well and sang for us. I tossed my head and then picked up a trot as I gave Argetlam a gentle nudge of my own. "Good. When our herd needed it you came and gave us it." I told her. Sometimes even I didn't know what I meant, and I'd been the one to utter the words. Like this one, I didn't even know what that sentence meant, but I could draw conclusions from it.
When Earth needed members, she had found me. Let me become the lead. When I needed help, Earth let Argetlam find me and then take her place in my herd's ranks. True this was probably way off what it was truly meaning but who knew. "Come on Argetlam. We have more distance to cover and night draws nearer." I told her as I shifted my gait into a lope as I launched back into my patrol of Thestral.
Following are the rules of Datholon. Please read them, it will only take up 10 minutes of your precious life. If your not going to read at least some of them then dont blame us when you get things wrong.
General ;;
i'm the admin, i'm the special one, i get the first, middle and last say about things around here.
you may have a maximum of 4 characters.
you may advertise your site ONLY in the advertising board.
all members are to obey the staff and leaders or i will personally eat you.
Mares ;;
if you are claimed by a stallion you may go with them or you may choose to fight them.
mares may not rebel against their lead. if they do so the lead may choose to banish them from that particular herd.
mares MUST be three years old in order to have a foal.
you can try to fight a stallion for freedom. but i guarantee, you'll lose.
Mares can live in any land relivant to their alliance as long as the land is unclaimed or the herd leader accepts you.
If a stallion comes to claim the unclaimed land you are living in you will either be asked to leave or you can ask to stay.
Stallions ;;
stallions may force breed but please don't go overboard and rape every single mare that walks by you.
in order to maintain your terra you must be active. if you are gone for over a month your terra will be identified as unclaimed and you will have to reclaim it again if you wish to remain the lead of your terra.
you may fight other stallions for mares, lands ect.
You may claim as many mares as you want, the stallion with the most mares will be the best stallion.
Breeding ;;
Graphic breeding is not allowed. it is against the proboards terms of service. If you wish to breed graphic then use pm's. Just do a sort of, fade in, fade out thing.
Admins and staff are the only members who may decide the status of your foal. when it is born you have no say in whether it is male or female, black or white.
you must post at least three times before your foal can be born.
Posting ;;
i have no set length minimum for your posts, but if i see stupid posts with only one word on it then a rule will be put up. once again guys, dont abuse the privelage.
charries ;;
okay, beofre you go makin heaps of charries, the same rules apply as anywhere else. 4 charries per account.
When you join first you must read these rules then go to the status board. There you will create a thread in your charries' name. This is where you will post the name, age, colour. breed ect ect of your horse. You may include as many pics as you want no matter how big they are (as long as they dont stuff up the boards that is.) If you are the herd leader you may also include the status of your herd if you want.
Challenging ;;
• There will be four posts for each person:
1 Starting post, stating you are ready to fight.
3 Battling posts (The first person to state the starting post will attack first).
• There must be at least two judges. The administrators could be the judge, or the leaders of the herd (this happens only when mares are fighting - not when the lead stallion is fighting). They will have a conference with each other over PMs to decide who won.
• The winner will be decided by whoever has the best posts. That includes:
- Long detailed posts
- Few errors in spelling/grammar/etc.
- Creativity
• When the opponent tries to hit you (say if you were in a fight), then you must at least get hit once out of all attacks in the battle post. It is not logical to miss ALL attacks.
• When posting attack posts, please limit your number of "attempted" attacks to around four attacks.
• If a person posted in the 'Away' area, they you CAN NOT win by default until they are said to have been back.
You can, however, win by default if the person should be back and does not reply to your battle request in a period of. Message me or Avi and we will declare if you win by default or you have to wait a bit longer. If the person comes back, then the battle is still on.

Elements ;;
Elements are as follows - fire [hentra], earth [ehcriale], water [adurna] and wind [Ularnne].

When you create your bio you must include what element you are of. [or if you dont want to have an element at all]
Elements do not mean that you can turn into fire, but you can get very hot. Say you were of the wind element, you can hear what the spirits of the wind say, they can guide you, punnish you, aid or hurt you. The spirits may possess you at times to do their bidding.
The element represents your mood at times. You choose how.
You may only be of one element at a time. Pm me about changing.
