Soooo, we had Janneke ( DenOfTheDragon ) write a story again, and it's amazing, so I had to draw something for it READ THE STORY, IT'S FUNNY. Also, it was so much fun drawing Thaslë! He's so handsome!

     

Story - by DenOfTheDragon 
'Human? Where are you going? You are not going to leave me here just like this, are you?' Thaslë could do nothing more than watch. His beloved human was walking away with two strangers as he stood behind the wooden fence. She was talking and laughing, not worried at all. Why wasn't she worried? She left him alone with three other horses. Three strangers! Okay, let's not exaggerate: two strangers plus Icarrus. But that was not the worst of all. What was was the mare with the long, white mane - the mare who looked just like him! She was being awfully mushy around the dark stallion and Thaslë really didn't know what it was all about. Being all lovey-dovey just like that... And that was not all! The weird black one standing further up ahead. The green markings, weird - but he didn't seem to be hostile.

'What are you doing over there, Thaslë? Are you just going to stand there all day, waiting for her to come back?'

Thaslë didn't answer. Of course, he was waiting!

'Don't be such a bore! Get over here and say hello! Toxi won't bite and Tariya here won't either.' Icarrus tried to convince his son, but it didn't work. 'Well, at least say hi to Toxi. Tariya and I will be discussing our own business. Come, dear. Let's leave the young ones along for a while.'

'Sounds like the perfect plan. I wasn't planning on wasting this day on babysitting foals, honey. I didn't come along for them - and who is the young man with the white mane anyway?' The two older horses kept talking while walking away. Thaslë was left alone with Toxi, who hadn't spoken yet.

'My good lord. What happened between those two?' The black-green horse said after a brief silence. Thaslë groaned as a reply. 'Beats me...'

'So, do you come here often?' Toxi approached but stopped after noticing the grey one's ears. He didn't seem to like company.

'I do not. Nor do I want to.'

'That I do see, but it won't hurt to talk for a bit. Right?' Toxi really tried his best. His owner did put him in here so he could make some fun, so he would try his best even though Thaslë was quite the serious-teacher-type. And of course, persistence pays off! After a few attempts to start a conversation, Thaslë finally loosened up and joined in on the conversation.

In the meantime, in the furthest corner of the meadow, Icarrus and Tariya had been enjoying their reunion. It had been such a long time ago and the two were a bit bothered by the fact there were two others around. It didn't spoil the fun in itself, but it was a bit of a disturbance. However, not enough of a disturbance to keep the two from scratching each other's shoulder, back and neck. Luckily Toxi and Thaslë were too far away to hear them mumbling sweet words to one another.

After a nice, long day it was time for the horses to part ways again. Once again Icarrus wasn't too fond of Emma, who tried to take Tariya away and Dragon had to catch him herself to prevent him from chasing Emma away. Just like last time they met.

'Before we go: who are you?' Tariya was standing right in front of Thaslë and she did seem pretty annoyed by the fact the young stallion had the same, long mane, horns and coat. Even the markings were blue, just like hers! 'You do look an awful lot like me and I don't like it!'

'Oh, that must be because I am much prettier!' Thaslë sounded quite agitated.

'Pardon me? Are YOU the prettier one? Don't look down on me like that, you snotnosed brat!'

'Look who's talking! Get off your high horse, lady!'

'Lady?!'

The humans noticed the horses were almost trying to kill each other. 'Time to go, Emma! It seems like she doesn't like her son yet! See you soon!'

Tariya and Thaslë were quiet all of a sudden.

'He is my son?!'

'She is my mother!'

'You are my wife, dear and yes, he is OUR son!' Icarrus laughed at the sight of the two. Tariya sighed. 'Well, if he is your son it is one thing that is good about him, but that is all!'
