Nodin Arrives

Nodin flewin, angry with what just happened. He walked around, searching the new territory. He'd never been here before. He approached a large rock and layed next to it, its coolness cooling his side. He rested his head on the grassy ground and began to doze.

Claudia: I galloped in and went next to Nodin. "Hello?"

Nodin glanced at the female, wondering why she looked familiar. He shook off the thought and set his head down without a word.

Claudia: I continued staring at him. "Whats wrong?" I asked worried.

Nodin closed his eyes and growled. "Nothing is wrong." he said.

Claudia: I stayed where I was. "Then why are you getting suddenly mad?" I asked curiously.

Nodin glared at her. "Because I hate that damn mare! She's trying to get me killed!" he yelled at her.

Claudia: I nodded. "Tell me what happened."

Nodin looked at her. "Her name is Zenya. I guess because I refused to let her become a Zanari for me, she got angry and tried to kill me instead..." he told her. He layed his head back down, angry that he even told the stranger about his problems.

Claudia: I nodded. "SOO what happened?" I asked getting interested.

Nodin looked up at her. "It's none of your damn business! Who are you anyway?" he asked, his eyes narrowed as he studied her.

Claudia: I continued smiling. "I'm Zenya's lost sister." I said with a smirk. "My name is Claudia."

Nodin's eyes widened, recognition flashing forth. He jumped to his feet. "I knew it...you two look alike...." he whispered. His anger came back. "Why are you here?! Get the hell away from me.." he said, walking away from the mare.

Claudia: I snorted. "Do you not know the definition of LONG LOST?" I asked angrily.

"Apparently not. Now GO AWAY!" he yelled over his shoulder, still walking.

Claudia: I stayed where I was. "I'm not going anywhere!" I said stubbornly.

"Whatever. Stay there then." he whispered, trotting away faster.

Claudia: I shrugged and began grazing.

Nodin trotted to an open area surrounded with ancient stones. He wondered where they came from. His attention was drawn away to the thought of who the leader of this territory was. Nodin smiled suddenly, wanting to meet him.

Claudia: I flew next to him. "Those are cool!"

Nodin side-stepped away from her. "What do you want, lady?" he growled.

Claudia: I turned to him. "I want you to tell me what happened." I said calmly. "Either you tell me and I try to help you or Zenya tells me and I want to also kill you."

Nodin snorted at her. "Whatever. It doesn't matter..one more person wanting to kill me won't change anything... It only means that I'll meet my end quicker..." he said quietly. He closed his eyes, his anger beginning to rise. "And besides, you don't have anything to do with it so stay out." With that, he walked around some more, looking for any signs of the leader of this territory.

Claudia: I sighed. "I think the leader is a girl and I think shes named Kapo."

Nodin stopped and stared at the ground. "This place has a mare for a leader...?" he whispered. "I wonder if I should..." He stood up straight and looked into the sky, a far-away look had entered his eyes as it does often when he's thinking.
