Esperanza || 7 Years || Mare
Location: Alikai || Mentions: Dusty, Echo

Esperanza nodded as she leaned down to take some of the fallen stallion's weight, smiling a little at the mustang. "I am glad to help in any way that I can." She stepped back a little, ready to catch the stallion if he fell as he stood, her head lowered slightly. She stared at him for a moment, surveying his condition, and flicked her tail. "I would be careful if I were you." She stated. "Take it slow."

She nodded in agreement as he spoke about helping others, and flicked her ears in the direction of the scream she had heard earlier as well. "I believe another horse is that way." She turned her head to look to the northeast, her eyes transfixed on the cliffs, as if searching for something. "My name is Esperanza, by the way. I believe I am to introduce myself if I travel with you, even if it is only for a few short hours."

Navajo || Clydesdale || 8 Years || Stallion || Mentions: Esperanza, Dusty & Echo

Navajo snorted at the damage, "How could the world be this cruel? Beat's me." He spoke quietly to himself. After a while, the draft horse realized he had started to walk through the forest. He lifted his legs up and around fallen branches carefully, and that's when he froze- ears perked. Voices. The broad stallion heard voices. Navajo started to grunt, they sounded not too far and possibly friendly. "Hello there." He spoke once the trees started to disperse and he got a clear image of two stallions and a mare. Not his typical group, but it would do just fine. Especially, since he wanted to have some company. "Did you all get effected by the Earth tremor too?" The tall, muscled stallion narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized the fellow horses for any injuries or indications that they had, in fact, been impacted.

A few moments passed slowly. He listened to her carefully and did his best to remember her name. He was hoping he would be able to pronounce it right, her name, when ever the time came "N-Na-mi was it?" he repeated as he slowly raised his head from over her. Lowering it before her in thanks with a bit of effort. "T-Thankin' ye(you) again lass. A-Am ready. B-Bu' slow please." He asked her kindly, making sure he stood tall before turning in the direction of the far off voices.

He would wait for her so they could walk together. To match paces, just in case. He did not wish to fall again because of his bad leg. However, his bride as a Clydesdale, a strong work horse, and strong of heart, may make him too stubborn to let her aware of his injury. For some reason, He wanted to impress name, specially since she was the first mare he had seen in over a year, and she was as beautiful as the majestic red deer that are native to his home country of Scotland.

But he was too shy to say so, feeling embarrassed at the thought. So much so he wrote it off as his head getting just as hurt as his leg had been, though a small part of him knew that was most defiantly a lie. "A-Am thinkin' tha' they are this way lass." He said after clearing his throat, swinging his head to the north east a bit. That slight urge to lead slowly rising, though he may not be in the best condition for that. It was all in his nature though... Unable to be helped.

(everyone gets a glimpse of what goes on in his head. All the inner monologues with himself XD)

Bjorn | 20 Years | Stallion | Reacting to The Quake, Open for interaction.

Bjorn huffed, smelling the air. Death and dust. The dark brown stallion would cautiously walk on, carefully checking certain spot to make sure they were stable, as if he was walking on a frozen lake in winter. He was still mortified about losing his herd in the way he did, and his heart ached. Although seeming to be stubborn and loud on the outside, he was very family-oriented, and right now, heartbroken.

Free | 9 years | Mare | Approaching Snowpaw and Nami.

Finally, she stopped. most of the running horses had stopped or fallen, several with broken legs or injuries. perfect for predators, if there were any. Free whinnied, searching for survivors. But as she walked on, she realized the hoof she had tripped on was sprained. The dappled mare snorted, and stubbornly continued, however. Soon she saw two horses in the distance, a stallion and mare. Free cautiously approached, before saying, "Hello?"

Lily Belle | Mare - 12 years - Shetland Pony | Location: General area | Mentions: None // Jump in!
The big rumble was terrifying, that was all that pass through Lily Belle's mind as she took off running. Cracks appeared, horses fell, rocks, dust, and other debris went soaring at every possible angle. The pony might be desperate for comfort, but she wasn't stupid enough to go running with the horses nearly 10 times her size. What was 9 hands compared to 14, or even 19 in some cases? Nothing but a speedbump, and she kept that in mind as she took off from the main herds.
As the hours passed, Lily Belle came out of hiding and managed to wander without getting many companions around her. Many tended to ignore her or snort when they realized the figure they found in the distance was, in fact, a pony. The mare had little care for their opinions and kept moving steadily, knowing 4 of her strides barely equaled one of a normal horse. Perhaps she's find company soon? Not everyone could hate a pony, and she wouldn't survive out here long if predators started to realized what easy prey they had.

Ophelia | Mare - 7 years - Warlander | Location: General area [near water] | Mentions: None // Jump in!

The young mare was in the river, sticking close to the edges of her herd. As soon as the earth started to rumble, Ophelia looked around. The water was affected last, and it wasn't what she expected. As the earth shook, the banks the cradled the river stirred it up and sent a rough wave knocking the mare over. She had been waded up almost to her shoulders, and the loose pebbles provided little footing.
Ophelia was a great swimmer, but the current grew too strong and rushed her downstream while her herd ran in a single direction. Away from her. A whiny escaped her lips before she was pulled under. It took quite a while before she finally got her footing, but the mare knew how to keep her head above water and kept herself alive. When her hooves touched even ground, Ophelia took off to the closest bank. Once on solid land, the mare finally relaxed.
Every muscle was sore, her lungs burned like fire, and her body collapsed onto the dirt and mud on the bank she'd come to after the quake. Was there anyone nearby? The last thing she needed was to be preyed upon whilst helpless.

He looked at the others. "Yeah looking for others is going to take a while. We should stick together and keep an eye on each other." He said as his ears listened to the others and every sound he could hear. His weight constantly shifting if he had to run at any time.

Oh man! Another mare... It was not his good day... A blush slowly rose over his cheeks and he tried to not seem so awkward as Free spoke. And now that he wasn't in so much of a daze, he was so much more aware of himself. Clearing his throat, he greeted her in turn. Trying not to retreat into himself from being so overly shy. " 'E-Ello Lass. You're no' 'urt are ye(you)? We're tryin' to find anyone who got caught in the quake..." He said softly, taking a deep breath so he didn't sound to frazzled.

On the other hand, he was still aware of name and he jumped slightly as though he remembered something important. "Oye! Before a forget!-This 'ere is Nami, and am Zachariah lass. Pleasure tae(to) meet ye(you) lass!"

Avari || 4 years || Stallion
Alikai || Lily Belle

Avari coughed as he started walking. Some dust got into his lungs, perhaps, as he ran, not helping his already-tired position. He didn't know where all the horses were, or even how many survived. He simply kept walking to no particular place, but he instead caught sight of... A pony? He couldn't tell from the distance. He slowly started to canter.

"H-Hello?" He called out in her direction, unsure about himself. He was vaguely aware that the dirt and dust covered parts of his white splotches, making him almost look like a brown horse.

Lily Belle | Mare - 12 years - Shetland Pony | Location: General area | Mentions: Avari

The pony heard a voice call out to her, and she paused. Her palomino coat changed on a little by tint as the dust settled around them. One might see her shake now and again, but only when the particles itched her skin too much. It was life, though, and she lived with it.

The figure approaching her was obviously a stallion, from the voice and the stance his body language took. It was younger than her, but, of course, he was a giant either way. Everyone was a giant. Even those short 'draft ponies' were taller than her! Darn them all.
"Yes? Who's there?" Lily Belle dared to call back, pausing her movements to watch the stallion approaching her. She didn't need him to attack her, but his proximity was becoming a problem at an alarming rate.

Bjorn | 20 Years | Stallion | Reacting to The Quake, Open for interaction.

Bjorn snorted, slowly walking along, seeming sad and lonely. He hadn't been without a herd for many years, having taking over his as a young bachelor. But now he had nobody to talk to, or to comfort.

Free | 9 years | Mare | Speaking with Snowpaw and Nami.

The dappled lusitano mare's nostrils widened as she took in Nami and Snowpaw's scents. "Nice to meet you! I am Free. And yeah, I appear to have hurt my hoof. But its just a sprain, it should get better in time." At first, she appeared cautious, but now she seemed okay. This Snowpaw didn't seem like the usual aggressive stallion, so she was okay. With a snort, she looked around. "What was that rumbling..?"
