It was well on the way to a full year that Thanata had spent in her new home, along with the other horses that had willingly followed after Magnus, Offspring, and the others that wanted a piece of Beqanna to call their own. Everyone was still on edge nowadays, after what the land had done last time a fight between members of different kingdoms had broken out. Granted, Thanata was a bit frightened too; she did not wish for her family to be broken apart.
Family... the word was still foreign to her. Thanata had no offspring of her own, or any kindred within the kingdom. Any family she did have, she left behind a long time ago, when she'd come in search of this place, any place, to escape the stallion hunting her down. The horses she'd met in the (former) Tundra had graciously taken her in, offering her an escape, a place to call home, to be safe.
Thanata could never repay them enough for their kindness, which is why when she heard Magnus' call for the kingdom members to gather, the Friesian mare was more than willing to do so. From her grazing spot in one of the meadows, she took off toward the call, her long stride propelling her over the ground with ease. Her long, wavy mane floated behind her as if it were an obsidian cloud, her muscles rippling beneath her coat.
The mare slid to a graceful stop when she arrived, seeing a number of horses already there. Magnus, of course, Sahm, his lover and their filly a safe distance back, Malis, the blue mare and a strong friend of Magnus, Lucrezia, a mare Thanata was not all that familiar with, Spear and Spark, two of Offspring's descendants, a stallion than Thanata did not know, and Offspring himself.
The dark mare's gaze lingered on the powerful Tundra king for a moment longer than they should have. She would not let herself be distracted. Originally, she had come here with the intention of letting Magnus know she was interested in perhaps taking a position of leadership to help the kingdom along, recruiting new members and giving those that lived here a peaceful state of mind.
But when she arrived and saw the gray, all those thoughts went out her ears. The mare's nostrils flared as she pawed the ground, threatened by this stallion's presence. It was obvious he was here to challenge someone, but by the way everyone was standing beside Magnus, it would not be easy.
Thanata joined her comrades and friends, glaring at the gray as she placed herself close to the leaders and kingdom members, "You truly are a fool to think he would be alone," she said, addressing the gray stallion, "You come here, flaunting how you think he would have no supporters. Quite the opposite; he has a great number of them, who are all willing to stand beside him and keep annoying pests like you from interrupting the peace in our land."
