Splash grazed a thick bush of dandelions, watching the seeds float away. Snorting, she shook away a cloud of dandelion fluff and trotted away from the dandelions.
Rainheart watched, faintly amused, as Dark Swift balanced on a small jut of rock, then swayed and sprang to the sturdy earth. Then Rainheart looked away, fur prickling as a mosquito landed on her. Her tail lashed it away.
Dark Swift made her undignified leave from the rock and walked to where Splash had been eating, and she took Splash's place grazing the dandelions.

Calypso walked up to the stream and pawed at the edge; the water was still slightly chilly. She smiled and began to drink from it.
Vega trotted through the dandelions, smiling at the feathery seeds that floated away and got stuck in her feathers. Exiting the flowers, she shook each leg out to red tem on the dandelions. She heard a sound and pricked her ears towards the dark woods. Something was in there, watching them. Vega stood up tall, and took very slow, cautious steps towards the woods.

"Don't go in there." His voice was deep and rich, with a ripple of masked amusement that always seemed to be there. He didn't sound chastising, however, merely as if he was just making a suggestion. The bay Arab strode forward until he stood at Vega's shoulder, gazing calmly into the dark forest, although his dark eyes twinkled with the same ripple that had been in his voice. Shadefur towered over the smaller mare, as he often did when he stood next to other horses, but his genuine friendliness seemed to shorten the distance between his withers and hers.

Swift glanced momentarily at Shadefur and Vega, then moved to Calypso, bending to drink from the creek.
Splash shook her mane, and look up at the sunny sky. However, a dark cloud was quickly moving up from the east.
Rainheart grew aware of a shadow falling over her shoulders as the cloud eclipsed the sun. Unconcerned, she started to graze.

Robin trotted threw the tall grasses, occasionally pausing to graze.
Raven dozed in the shade of a large tree.

Vega looked up at Shadefur. As far as she knew, he was the only horse taller than her; being a friesian, she is naturally tall. She thought for a moment, nearly losing herself in his eyes. "Well, something is in there," She replied quietly, straining to keep her voice even. "So we should probably do something about it," She suggested, realizing she shouldn't have added that, it was quite obvious.
Calypso paused to look at Vega and Shadefur, then over at Swift. She took a step back and began to eat the grass that grew beside the stream.

"You don't want to go in there," Shadefur assured her, his gaze darkening. "Besides, Luna has forbidden it."
"What have I forbidden?" The dapple gray mare approached them, light amusement dancing in her own eyes. Shadefur smirked at her and nodded to the dark forest. She lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the forest before shaking her head and turning away with just a simple warning. "Stay away from there."

Vega shook her head. "I wasn't going to; just going to get close for a better look at it," She spoke quietly, looking slightly downward at Luna.

Luna didn't bother turning back to face Vega; she just kept walking, as if she hadn't heard.
"Well, I think that was about as clear a warning as you're going to get," Shadefur mused. He flicked Vega on the shoulder with his long, silky tail. "Let's just forget about it. Whatever's in there won't bother us unless we bother it."

Vega nodded, and turned away with one last glance at the forest. She walked a few feet over to a nice long patch of green grass and dandelions, where she immediatley began grazing. Her shoulder tingled slightly, reminding her of Shadefur, which brought forth a small smile.

Rainheart toyed with a loose clump of grass, her fur ruffled with boredom. Finally she gave up and started to graze to entertain herself.
Swift shook her mane, allowing the breeze to blow through it. A sudden harsh gust of wind blew, startling the mare. Rainheart whinnied as a slow rain that quickly grew stronger started to fall. "Yuck," Swift muttered as her pelt quickly soaked. She shook her fur and peered into the forest. It did seem like something was alive in there. It invoked her curiousity; despite Luna's decree, she fought the urge to go too it. Glancing behind her, Luna wasn't looking and Shadefur was glancing the wrong way, and Rainheart was drinking and Calypso grazing, and so was Vega at the patch of dandelions. She shuffled into the shelter of a thorn tree and started to noiselessly trot to the forest. Was it just her imagination, or did the trees seem to crowd in around her, whispering things filled with menace? Ignoring the dark shadows, Swift ventured further into the seemingly night-covered woods.

(It occurs to me that I never said anything about a dark forest in the territory description... xD)
Luna was completely unaware of Swift's insubordination, although once she found out, Swift would be in a crapload of trouble.
"Come on, there's a small copse of trees nearby where we can take cover from the rain," she declared, flicking her ear in indication toward the trees she was speaking about. She turned and started trotting in that direction, and Shadefur started after her.
"What do you want?" a deep, somewhat hoarse voice growled at Swift.

(Thanks for putting someone in the forest, otherwise it would've been very boring:))
Swift tensed, her fur bristling along her spine. "What do you want?" she demanded, ears flat. "Who are you?" She had stopped in her tracks.
"Hey, wait, Swift's not here!" Splash called, her fur rippling from worry and wind. Her ears flat, she hurried over to Luna and Shadefur.
Rainheart heard Splash's call through the crashing wind and rain, and plunged her nose to the earth. She thought she could detect a faint scent that belonged to Swift--but it was gone in an instant. The rapidly becoming storm had driven away all scents. When Rainheart sniffed, all she could smell was cold water and air. She lifted her head and galloped back to Luna and Shadefur.

Vega picked her head up and shook the water out of her mane. She thought she had seen hoof prints going towards the woods, but she paid them no mind. She ducked into the trees, happy to be out of the rain.
Calypso loved the rain, but knew it could cause rain rot. She mozied in over to the trees, stopping every few steps for a nibble of grass. Finally making it into the trees, she looked at the panicked faces in front of her. "What's wrong?"
