Black Rhapsody had finally returned home... he looked around to find out that the large lands and territories were split up now... he came to the plains called Zephyr Plain since it had his father's name in it... and he grew up with the wind itself... no one has claimed it so he has... he has not seen this place in forever and now has come back to watch over the lands like he always did... He stood against the wind, his black mane flying in the hair... his red eyes gleaming as he wonders if anything... if his family... his mare... his herd and foals and grandfoals are still alive... Black Rose, my dear? where are you... i need you..... please dont be gone... i'll look for you he neighed loudly and fiercely... where has everyoen gone?

He had finally learned what had happened... he had lost everything he had worked hard to earn... it was his fault and he could do nothing abotu it. He lost his land... children... his family... and his mare... he could go crazy and hurt everyone, but he had control. He always did. As he stood in the wind, it began to chill the hot blood running through his vein. He turned his head and lifted it into the air smelling the same... but new land of his. Is this is what is suppose to turn out? He growled slightly and went to the side to lay his head down underneath the branches of an old cherry tree. He nuzzled at it and laughing heartily to himself... "I am home, I should be happy.. I guess it is time for me to start over once again and let life go on........."

Tiger looked from a distance... he knew that Black Rhapsody sensed he was there... they were as close as father and son... he lifted his hind leg to pull something off with his mouth. He shook his head and walked off into the mist...

He laid his head down and drozed ff into a menacingly sleep full of nightmares and anger... his ears always up to alert him of danger...

Black Rose stood, grazing contently in Cascade's land when she sensed him. She needed no other thing to tell her that Rhapsody had returned. Eyes brimmed with tears for a moment as she felt the foal kick inside her. Wiping away the tears, she tossed her head up and moved quickly to his new home. It was not hard, she caught his scent easily. Stepping forward, she saw him, dozing like he always had. She ordered her hooves to move, but they wouldnt. SO she stood watching him fora moment, until she heard the one thing that tore her heart out. A simple snore from him. She choked out a sob and spun on her heels, racing from there, into the meadow where she had first met him. Her stomach, large, but not that large, slowed her. She stopped and collasped, sobbing into the ground. It wasn't fair, he was gone, she had Cascade, she had a foal. But she loved him still. She shook her head hard, her sobs quieting. Rose looked up into the sun above her, knowing it was not about to go away. Laying there for a moment, she rested, curious as to where he had gone and why.

His ears flickered wildy. He could smell her and also the scent of Cascade. His legs flew up and in less then a few seconds, he raced towards Rose. He wanted to speak to her... wanted to tell her his story... wanted to answer her questions... he wanted to tell her that he didnt leave her... he didnt mean too... it just happened. He wanted to apologize and ... and what he thought to himself. She's got a nice stallion who wont leave her, foals waiting to be born... What does he have? His stupid land. He knew she ahd gone to Cascades land and he laid near the invisible line that stood in front of him telling him that if he took another step, he'd be in Cascade's land. He put his head down... he would wait until someone came to lisetn to his story... it was full of adventures... mysteries... hope... and most of all.... the pain of missing someone.

Looking up, she saw him watching her, saw him waiting just beyond Cascade's land. She trembled slgithly, to see him again, so whole, so... She sighed and heaved herself up slowly, taking time to look around slowly. Feeling childish, she raised her ead and walked over to him, ready. Eyes saddened, her knees went weak as his scent rushed around her. Stomach tumbled, but yet Rose moved closer. Stopping, she knew only one thing to say to him at the moment.
Smiling a small smile, Rose looked up at Rhapsody's face and whispered softly.
I heard you snoring Rhapsody. All the way from here.

He blushed. I guess... after all this time... my snores aer still the same... right? louder? yes no? he asked. He smiled meekly at her, but happy that he could see her again. He nodded his head in respect. "I've missed you."

She gave a small laugh. You never change Rhapsody. I've missed you as well.
She dropped her head and whispered softly as though speaking to the ground.
I thought you were gone.
She looked back at him, a single, lone tear rolling down her cheek. She breathed deeply, trying to get control again. It had been too long, she had thought he was gone...all she could do was look at him. It was as if her body had shut down on her.

He walked towards her and crossed over to Cascade's land. He nuzzled away the tear...
If you want... I can tell you what happened...
he said quietly.

She caught her breath at his touch and pushed forward, burying her face into his mane and breathing heavily. She nuzzled his neck, memories washing over her.
Please.
She whispered, needing to know the truth, where he had gone, why he had left and crushed her heart when he didn't return.

He rubbed the back of her neck. The wind was blowing and he didn't know what to do. He just stood there rubbing her neck and started... I dont remember how I left the island, but I remember watching you and Willow sleep, when I decided to go off to get you a surprise. I guess, I wandered into the darker caverns of the island where more mysterious and beautiful things were. Tiger was beside me commenting on everything saying that a mare such as you didnt deserve tis or that. He said you needed somethign that would suit you better, somethign that would be much more beautiful. SO here and tiger are fighting over what to pick when Zephyr comes and kicks us both in the rear end. I guess while we were rough housing, a human was near and shot us. Enough to knock us out. By the time I woke up, I was in the water, Tiger floating 500 feet from me. With a kink in my neck, I swam towards them and there I hung onto Tiger and Zephyr. THey were shot up pretty badly... I blacked out once again and me and tiger woke up on the beach, with Zephyr's footpritn eladign somewhere else. I knew i had to find a way back home... i couldnt just leave a filly and a mare behind... you needed me. So we spent a day or two lookign for zephyr but when we fcould no longer find him, we had little hope. We wandered into a small valley where very few horses were there. You could smell the scent of many other horses, but only a few were new. I met mares naemd RavenWings, Naja Hi, and another named Ringo. THere was a stallion named Indigo Darkness... I guess, TIger left and told me he will find me when I ahev decided to stay here or not... I spent a few weeks with the horses, watchign as the other horse looned over Indigo and as Naja Hi and Ringo looned over me. I didnt want to give up my old life.. I just remember, they werent you... the way they were... their attitdudes.. I didnt want them. Even if Naja Hi was from a well rounded family, rich and beautiful, bred for certain things... I didnt want her. RavenWings reminded me so much of you... Sleek and black in beauty, beautiful eyes that are always watching me. Ringo was a small little horse... palominoI have to say, who followd me endlessly around. I spetn weeks trying to figure out what to do... those weeks turned into months as I spent endlessly trying to find a way home. When I finally decided to look for Zephyr again, Tiger showed up and said it was time to go home. Together we swam through the ocean... hitting islands we've never heard of... horses...w ild... some trained... some abused, war horses, old hroses, beautiful gallant lipizzaneres... It just wasnt home. We have spent many times running away from humans and ti was finally when I looked up at the stars one night and made a wish, did I finally know in which direction to come. We followed a series of sand bars adn then swam for who knows how long here... I spent endless days blackign out and drowning out my pain... thinking of you and willow and what will happen... and i am here now... the scar I have... on my front hind leg... is a cresent of the moon, the night I made my wish. I was wandering thruogh the brumble delirious... and all I saw was a black mare... I thought it was you and so i followed you... Tiger found me out later... on the floor swepting bullets... but i guess...t aht's what i guess for disappearing right... he smiled weekly I guess i cant really ask anything fomr you righ tnow... i just wanted to tell you..a ll thsoe cold lonely nights i spent alone.. i thought of you and our filly... that was all. there is nothing else in teh world that ran through my mind and i'm sorry for everythign i have done.

Rose stood, leaning against him, listening to his tale. He had not left her, he had been loyal. God, what did she do? She had gone to Cascade after waiting, afraid that Rhapsody had died. Dhe sobbed softly, nuzzling his neck. She pulled back, cheeks tear stained, eyes searching his.
I thought you were dead Rhapsody. Willow asked about you and I had nothing to tell her, so I had to say you had died. What was I to do? I feel so stupid.
She whispered softly, dropping her gaze once more from his face. She turned, wondering what she was to do. She circled for a moment before lieing down in the flowers around her. She sighed and looked up at him, a memory coming to her.
Starry night, clear and beautiful. Rhapsody stood above her as she rested. She smiled up at him, proud he was hers, love filling her through and through. She had stood up, watching the stars with him, resting peacefully by his side.
She reutrned back to present time, eyes misted over. Why...she could not ask herself that enough times to get the answer. Closing her eyes for a moment, she looked up at Rhapsody just as she had months ago.

Rose stood, knowing she didn't know what her choice was. Giving one more small glance at RHapsody, she moved off, trotting away from him, to look for Cascade. She sighed heavily, her steps slow and heavy, her head hung low.
What was she to do? She had no clue...and was still at shock of seeing him alive, like a dream, except she was definetely awake. Moving slower, she stumbled, falling down on to her knees. Groaning she stood back up, shaking.

Rhapsody followed her and fell to her side. "whats wrong, rose?!" he said worried. He nudged her slowly up and then kept his body for her support. He licked her hoping the kisses would make her feel better....

I'm fine Rhapsody, really its ok.
She whispered softly, very aware of his kisses. Her breath caught in her throat as she turnd, nuzzling his neck, kissing him softly back. Tears disappeared as she felt the foal kick again. Sighing, she stepped backwards.
I just stumbled, the foal and all. I'm ok. But thank you.
Unsure of what to do next, Rose stepped forwad again, leaning against him gratefully. Nipping his ear, she gave him a grateful smile.
Mind if I stay with you tonight? So we can catch up?
