    He gave them a nod and they trotted off. He walked over to sky.

    He glanced at rose as she walked away. "Getting along well with the others?" He asked obviously trying to get to a point.

    He sighed "I've had three complaints about you" he told her.

    "I'm not saying you have" he told her "just have you said anything that might cause this, like accusations of any sort"

    "I haven't done anything, but those three snapped at me for coming back! They said I made you run away from me and if it i hadn't come back one of them would be your lead mare!" Shr snorted, loud enough for the whole herd to hear.

    Minstrel took a step back at her outburst. It was easy to see the conflicting emotions in his eyes. He wasn't sure to believe her or the herd mares. The herd mares had always been there for him but she had left him, well in a way.

    Sky took a step back "You... You don't believe me?!" she whispered "You don't believe me!" looking over at Rose "I wanted you to be a part of her life, but if you don't believe or even trust me, then thats not going to happen, and it wont happen with this foal either!"
    Rose looked over at them.
    "Rose! C'mon, we are leaving... forever..." Sky called to her foal as she started to trot away, foal beside her.

    He looked like he'd been cornered. He stepped forwards but only a step, unsure. "Sky" He called, his voice unusually small. He shook his head as if he might regret it and looked at her with sorrowful eyes. "Don't go" He told her.

    Sky turned her head but didn't look at him "I can't... you got three mares that set me up because they are dieing to be your mate..." she trotted on.

    He glanced back at the herd that was watching. He trotted after her, catching up and cutting her off. "But they're never going to be my mate, you're my mate" he told her softly.

    "Was... I was your mate Minsterl... I will find you when the foal is born... but I am leaving." Sky said, looking back over at the herd, Moon and Bird where watching them, they galloped after Sky "We are goign with her... she has been are friend from day one, we can't leave her when she is pregnant and has a foal as it is..." The snorted and trotted beside Rose and Sky.

    He nodded. "Take care of her" he told them. It was evident he still cared about her but he couldn't just abandon his herd. He hung his head and walked back to his herd, dragging his feet as he went. Life was unfair, she'd just come back and already she'd left.

    Moon looked back "One sec..." she whinnied and trotted over to him "I will let you know whats going on form time to time, she wont want to go far with Rose so at night I can sneek back and let you know." she whispered to him and galloped back to her friends.

    He smiled gratefully at her and gave her a nod. He still dragged his feet a little but his head was no longer hung, he had a little bit of hope in him. He still wasn't sure what had been the truth, it could be her because she walked off even when he said he believed her but his heart was telling him no. His brain told him not to show favouritism.

    By night, All 4 of the mares had reached the valley, they would stay there for the night and probably for the next day or so but then they would be going back to the mountains.

    He sighed to himself and lay down down for the night, wanting to back with just the two of them again, well three now because of rose and soon to be four but that wasn't likely to happen.
