WhirlwindStoodin the middle of the herd waiting for his mate and Lead Mare Snowstar and his new foal, Eden his Beta Mare, Thunder Shock his Beta Stallion Heir, Whirling Storm his Daughter, and her two colts Silent Shadow and Summer Sunset. Rearing up he called out to all of them. He wanted them all together so that all of them could get to know one another. Landing back on to his front hooves he smiled waited for his herd.

Snowstar trotted slowly back into Whirling Mountain Meadow, her new filly trotting along beside her. Snowstar looked around her home and gave a loud whinny to let her mate know she was home. She then continued on toward the middle knowing Whirlwind would be waiting there. "Come on Winterwind your father is waiting to meet you." Snowstar said happily to her filly.
Winterwind trotted easily at her mothers side having finally gained control of her long legs. As they entered Whirling Mountain Meadow she looked around trying to see everything at once. When her mother started to continue on she tore her gaze from the new sights to focus on where she was going. Winterwind nodded her head and picked up her pace when her mother spoke to her.

Whirlwind waited patiently though when he heard his mates call he nearly burst with joy. Watching the horizon he waited for his mate and foal to come into his view. Whirlwind didn't want to approach his mate for he knew the foal would get startled so he stayed where he was.

The Clydesdale mare moved in slow hesitant steps through the territory, poking around a little with her new adopted colt at side. Just because she had agreed to live in the herd didn't mean she was completely comfortable with all the new stuff. It would take her time to adjust. The mare spooked with the call from the stallion rang out, not doubt to announce her coming to the herd. Her steps where still slow and hesitant but this time she moved in a specific direction, toward the call. As she neared the others she hovered some distance away for quite sometime, nearly overcome with shyness. With a deep breath the mare finally willed herself forward toward the growing group of horses, her ears swiveling and her head hung somewhat low in nervousness of all the horses around. Eden never did do very well in groups, even in small ones.

Thunder Shock tripped and fell over his feet as they got caught in the tall grass that grew here and there. Thunder Shock felt safer now that he had this new mare as his mama. Smiling he rubbed up against her as the loud call of the lead stallion erupted through the territory. Jumping over a stick Thunder Shock mimicked his adopted mama. As they neared the growing group.

Snowstar trotted into the center and whinnied happily when she saw Whirlwind standing there. She walked up to him and nuzzled his neck. Stepping back she turned her head and looked at her foal, who was trying to hide. "Come on Darling. This is your father. Come say hello." She nuzzled her foal to reassure her. Turning back to Whirlwind she bowed to him. "The only name I could think of for her is Winterwind. I wanted to wait and ask you what you thought before fully deciding." Snowstar said softly. She watched as her little filly approached her mate. She knew her foal was safe but her maternal instincts told her to be on guard.
Winterwind trotted in alongside her mother. When her mother approached the big Stallion she followed but tried to hide at her mothers side. When her mother told her that he was her father she peered around her mother to see him better. Then her mother told her to say hello. Winterwind slowly moved from her mothers side and approached the Stallion. When she was standing in front of him she mimicked her mothers bow, knowing her mother had done it to show her how. After she bowed she showed a little boldness by steeping up to his side and lightly nuzzling him.

Whirlwind Smiled as Eden and her adopted colt Thunder Shock came to join in at the gathering. He knew that the mare was already nervous of being here so he was going to spare her the humiliation. Bowing to his beta mare and beta stallion heir he returned to watching the horizon. whirlwind became happy as his mate and his foal came into view. Whirlwind smiled happily as his mate and his foal which he now noticed was a filly approached him. Nuzzling her back he licked her neck and cheek in greeting. Watching his shy little filly hide behind Snowstar he laughed a bit. Hearing his fillies name as she bowed and nuzzled him. Whirlwind got down to her height and spoke in a voice that she could understand as he nuzzled her back. "No lead mare heir that is my daughter gets to bow to me." Smiling once more Whirlwind stood up and bowed to his daughter. "Welcome to your home Winterwind!" Whirlwind had many foals and that experience helped when it came to dealing with them. Looking at his mate Whirlwind reassured her. "No one will touch her as long as you stay close to me and the others." Smiling Whirlwind nuzzled Snowstar again.

Snowstar was happy that Whirlwind accepted her foals name. She heard his assurance that her foal was safe and she relaxed a lot more. Looking around the clearing Snowstar saw the Clydesdale mare and her colt. Snowstar walked slowly towards the mare stopping a few feet away. "Welcome to the herd. My name is Snowstar and the little filly over there with Whirlwind is Winterwind." Snowstar said in a gentle and friendly tone of voice.
Winterwind stayed close to her father. She kept looking at him trying memorize his scent and what he looked like. She trotted around him and then lay down at his side to rest. She watched as her mother approached the other mare slowly. Then she lay her head down and fell asleep beside her father.

Whirling Storm trotted into the meadow with her two colts trotting on either side of her. Smiling When she saw her father and now her new mother by the looks of it with a foal of their own. As she neared the other horses Whirling Storm greeted Snowstar. "Hello mother!" Whirling Storm spoke daughterly to the new lead mare accepting Snowstar as her new mother. Whirling Storm was glad this mare was her new mother for she had disowned her biological one. Smiling Whirling Storm trotted over to her and nuzzled Snowstar happily. Looking at her colts she spoke calmly to them. "Now what do we do when we greet Lead Mares and Stallions?"
Silent Shadow and Summer Sunset followed their mother and mimicked her. Though when their mother went over to the mare they had seen once before they were confused. They both looked at the mare with dumb-struck faces that looked silly. When their mother spoke they both bowed to the mare and walked up to her. Both rearing at the same time they placed their legs on her chest and touched her muzzle. Smiling they both returned to standing on their own feet and watched the beautiful mare in awe.

Snowstar nuzzled Whirling Storm happily. "Hello Daughter." Snowstar said a little shyly. When the colts greeted her she was happy. She nuzzled each of them in turn. "You don't have to bow to me. Your family." Snowstar said softly. She turned to look at her foal who was sleeping soundly beside Whirlwind. "Our filly's name is Winterwind. How are Silent Shadow and Summer Sunset doing?" Snowstar asked, wondering about how the colts were growing.

Whirling Storm smiled as Snowstar accepted her as her own daughter. Smiling she looked at her two colts and nodded to them to go lay with the new foal. "Oh they are growing like weeds it will be any day now that they will start talking." Smiling she wondered what her new mother had for a foal. "Do I have a brother or a sister?" Whirling Storm asked curiously.
Silent Shadow and Summer Sunset walked over to the new foal. They sniffed the foal and found out she was a girl. The twins laid on either side of the filly and fell asleep next to her. They wanted her to fit in and being older then her they both became her two bodyguards.

Snowstar looked fondly at her foal. She watched with tenderness as the two colts each lay down on either side of Winterwind. "You have a sister. She is doing really good so far. I worry a little about her because she is my first." Snowstar answered turning back to Whirling Storm. "I hope she grows well."

Whirling Storm opened her mouth to speak when her father spoke.
"Today is the day where the past is literally set in the past. No longer shall you run from horses rejecting or hurting you. Today is the day you start new with your life and make it worth living for. This is your home you earned it and you need it. You own this land there for I do not expect you to do what you think I want you to do. I want you to do what you think you should do. My mate Snowstar and I will keep watch over you you on top of that hill." Whirlwind pointed with his head to the hill off to his left. "We can see everything perfectly on top of it. I also want you to feel free to roam the lands wander around. I am not a stallion who is oberly protective over mares. I don't care if you leave the territory for a while and go meet other mares of the herds. I am protective don't get me wrong. If any stallion lays one single hoof on you in the wrong way come let me know and then say la vie to the poor stallion for hurting you. I am a stallion who will fight for whats right that means if our herd is in danger we all must fight except for the pregnant and the mares with young foals. I will not go into a fight without consulting you guys first." Whirlwind Finished his speech diligently and spoke with charisma in his voice. "What say you do you agree to this or do you want something else. Every decision I make will be ran through you first so if you want something speak up now!" Whirlwind spoke calmly to his mares.

Snowstar listened to all Whirlwind had to say. She thought about it all and then decided for the second time that he was the right stallion for her. "I could not ask for more than that from you. I agree." Snowstar then walked over to where the foals were sleeping together and checked on Winterwind. Seeing that her filly was still asleep she walked over to Whirlwind and nuzzled him then she turned to stand proudly at his side.

Winterwind felt two warm bodies sleeping next to her. She woke up a little and looked on either side of her. She saw a black colt with a white blaze and three white socks first. Then turning to her other side she saw a chestnut colt with a white blaze and four white socks. She felt safe having them next to her. She moved a little to get more comfortable. This caused her to lay her head on Summer Sunset and pushed her side against Silent Shadow. She felt really warm laying like that so she fell back to sleep.
