A low thundering sound exhoed across the sky. Rain threw itself down in sheets, pummeling the ground into mud and flattening the soggy grass. Elements hooves sunk deep into the sloppy ground, and made sucking sounds as they came out again. She blinked rainwater from her big brown eyes and carried on walking. Her sides heaved from the long gallop, and her coat was damp with sweat and rain. She tossed her head, whipping her sodden mane out of her eyes, and went faster, drawing her legs up high out of her mud, trotting to find shelter.
In the dimming light, she noticed that not too far away was a small copse of trees. She sped up into a canter, her soaking wet tail beginning to fan out behind her as she approached the trees. With a snort, she launched herself into the trees, and skidded to a stop. It was still wet here, but only with the occasional drops from the tree leaves. She shook off her whole body and tossed her head, wondering if there was anyone else nearby....

Moonshine saw a horse and started trotting towards it. Moonshine's legs were muddy. Moonshine came over to the horse and reared. Then she neighed," Hi, I'm Moonshine. Who are you?"

Her ears pricked towards the sound of trotting hoofbeats. She answered the neigh with a whinny of her own. "I am Element" She raised her head, eyes wide at the approaching mare. She waited for her to approach, flicking her ears back and clamping down her tail warily as the stranger came closer...

River slowly walked into the grassy steppe, bored out of her mind. She heard Rain and looked at her. "Hello," she said cautiously.

Element turned to see another horse approaching. She took one cautious step backwards from the oncoming pair but kept her eyes firmly on theirs. Her dappled coat was steaming slightly now that the rain had stopped. She lashed midges away from her flanks with her long tail, and nodded a greeting to River. " Hello. " she said simply...

River shrugged and ducked down to graze, not sure if this horse was going to bother to make small talk. She snorted as she graze from the wet grass tickling her nose.

Element warily watched as River bent to graze. After a second, the whites of her eyes disappeared and she turned her head to the side, breathing gently over some leaves, deciding they were safe to eat, and nibbling at them. " I don'e know where I am. You wouldn't be able to help me, would you?" she nickered, a leaf from the bush dangling from her mouth. She ate it, chewing thoughtfully, and looked across at River...

River looked carefully at Element. "You're at the Grassy Steppe. I'm River, from the Moonherd, but I don't suggest you join, it's falling apart rapidly," she said darkly. She was still depressed Night had left.

Moonshine came over to Element and nickered, "Hi, I'm Moonshine." Moon started to graze on the grass.

Element carried on munching thoughtfully. Why was the herd falling apart? She felt nosey asking, so kept quiet. She looked up at the sky through the tree canopy. It was still dark and cloudy, but the rain had stopped. A bird flew from a bush and landed on the bush she was munching on. She snorted and it flew off. She loked at Moonshine. "So what herd are you from?"

Moon looked up at element, "Well none for the moment I was living with the Moonherd, but wasn't really part of it. Moonherd is falling apart anyway, but will get back to normal soon! The lead stallion Night is gone and Moonherd is scared to death that he is gone." Moon said simply.
