    Diablo stood silent, slightly jealous and partly wishing it was himself on the floor.
    Stone gasped. "You.. Will choose.. The...Head Stallion...Choose...Wisely..." The stallion said, before sighing one last time as the light left his eyes.

    Stars eyes watered, she got up and reared, neighing sadly. Her anger and hurt mixing. She lowered her head as she landed " I'm so sorry, Stone"

    Star left the other horse there while she galloped to the over towering cave. She stops and lets her anger go, rearing and thrashing her hooves out. Once all of that was gone she trotted over to the lake and lowered her head. Looking at her reflection in the water.

    Diablo just stood, looking at the dead horse. He hadn't known the stallion long, just long enough to know he was a respected, honest and protective stallion that his herd would mourn for months. He lowered his head.

    Stars ears went back as she walked back over to her herd, sensing their upset she nuzzled each one individually. When she came to Diablo she nuzzled into his neck, burying her muzzle into his mane.

    idk I just am :D


    Diablo nuzzled Star. "Must have been a good leader." He murmured. "He said you choose the new lead stallion. You'd better pick. How about Thorne? Nope, too young... Zaykai? Freldan? Sage? Riverracer? Or... Haze?"

    " the others show great potential to be lead stallions but I want you to be the lead stallion. I can trust you and the others like you, especially Lilac" Star replies, pricking her ears forward and neighing to the filly

    Diablo snorted in amusement. "Right." He shook his mane. "But I've just joined. You cant just.. I cant... Ok, fine, I'll try." He neighed, nipping her mane. "But you better ask the herd what they think first, just in case. And remember, Stone did say choose wisely." He paused. "Have you?"

    Star nodded her head " I couldn't have made a wiser choice. " she replies. She walks over to the others and snorts " I know we have just lost Stone. But he asked me to choose a new lead stallion. I wanted that stallion to be Diablo. The rest of you stallions need time still to learn leadership skill, and you can learn from Diablo's example. But what do you say to having him as the lead stallion?"

    Thorne nodded.
    Haze snorted in agreement.
    Lilac batted her eyelashes, "Yeah!"
    Nakota shrugged.
    Riverracer whinnied, "Excellent choice!"
    Zaykai grumbled; he wanted to be leader...
    "Ok. Don't see why not." Flaire whinnied, flicking her ears.
    The mare Blackberry muttered into her mate Zaykai's ear.
    Skipper, the foal, pranced around, not paying attention.
    Phantasia dipped her head.
    Flickstripe snorted.
    Diablo simply watched their reactions, noticing Blackberry's, Zaykai's and Flickstripes.

    Star snorted " Zaykai I know you asked last time but I trust Diablo. And I love him. You can be his right hand stallion. That will soon give you experience as a leader.. And Blackberry. Have you anything to say?" Star asked calmly although she stomped a hoof

    Diablo looked at Starlight. She loves me? He thought. She did basically admit it when we were in Charis's herd... Maybe she does. Then he turned to Zaykai and saw the annoyed look on his face. He's gonna be my right hand? Great.
    Blackberry shook her mane nervously. "Nothing, Lady Starlight. Lord Diablo is certainly a good choice." She said with a hint of sarcasm.

    Star pawed the ground and stepped toward the mare " Don't test my anger, Blackberry. I can easily take a mare like you down!" Star neighs angrily. With her hot anger Starlight turned and trotted to an open space by herself. Snorting and ripping the grass as she grazed.

    Diablo thought about his new title. Lord Diablo. He tossed his head and went over to graze by his... mate? He admired her glossy black coat and dazzling blue eyes.

    Star snorted and walked over to him, with a soft whinny she nuzzled his side. She felt safe around him, her anger gone. She lowered her and nudged his cheek.
