Relentles storm galloped into the area, it was strange to think that a mare born into the dark would be acting so...playful? Well the truth was that she was rejoicing.
It had been almost a full year since she had been near anything that ressembled sand. Almost as if the sand wanted to welcome her back, it swirled energetically around her, surrounding her in its warmth.
Around and around it swirled as she galloped over the sand, her strides looking as if she was merely gliding. Soon the sun started to set.

As the sun met the horison, Mordecai raced along, peaking at speeds of slightly over one hundred miles per hour. He still had had no luck in his goals to find a Stallion. However, he came across a strange sight as he ran. A Horse, the gender of which he could not tell, seemed to have control of the sand, which was swirling about it. He raised an eyebrow. It was certainly worth investigating.

(oh just so you know what she looks like, she's a bay with sand colored wings)
In her joyous reunion with her beloved sand, Storm never realised that someone was nearby. Instead she slid to a stop, sand flying everywhere. With her nostrils slightly flaring, said mare allowed the sand to gently lay on her. It was then that she looked towards the forest, having an odd feeling that things were about the get odd.

Mordecai cursed slightly to himself. The Horse, now seemingly a Mare, had detected his presense. He knew they had keen senses, but he didn't think he'd be noticed quite yet. He shrugged to himself. Might as well reveal himself, considering the fact that hidden observation at this point would be outright rude.
He stepped slowly from the trees, palms held open to indicate that he wasn't armed. Not to say he wasn't dangerous, but he wasn't armed.

Seeing a male walk out of the forest, Storm took a slow step back as her eyes became slightly wary. The peaceful sand started to move around, not threateningly, but not peaceful again.
'Who are you?'
She couldn't help but feel slightly curious about the human, having not knowing much about them.

"My name is Mordecai." Mordy said, lowering his hands. "I have been employed to find a suitable Stallion and to mark it, shortly after which point my employer will come and capture him. I assure you, I would not be doing this if the man weren't a saint. He wouldn't mistreat the Stallion." He explained, his face plainly showing that he was telling the truth. He then shrugged and said, "When I noticed the sand I figured I might as well investigate, as I've had no luck today."

Storm's muscles cleary relaxed slightly, as she took a hesitant step forward. 'You humans are so odd. Though i do wonder...what it is that makes humans so curious about us? If i should say so myself, it should be us acting curious towards you.'

"Well, we are different than you, and you us. As such, it seems perhaps that a mutual interest is unavoidable. And understanding as a result of this interest is also likely a guarantee at some point, which is good. Better that we understand eachother than hate and or fear eachother." Mordecai said, smiling slightly. It was an 'I'm sure you would agree' type of smile, not an 'I'm pulling your leg' type of smile.

Another hesitant step forward.
'But still, there's always the action of lying. Like for one, how can i trust that you won't suddenly attack me. Almost like i thought i would never see my beloved sand again. Or anything as a matter of fact lately.'
Her tail twitches slightly.
'One truly is at the hands of fate with now way of controlling what happens'

Mordecai shrugged. "Such is the truth. As it were, all you have to assure you that I won't attack you is my word. I can't prove it with anything but time." He said, and shrugged again. It was indeed true that he had no proof, so he decided it better to state the fact than to try and come up with something to make the converstation more trustful.

Sand colored eyes locked with brown ones as she took the final few steps towards the male, finally taking it within herself to take a chance and trust his words. Standing infront of the male, the bay mare lowered her head till it was level with his chest, muscles slightly tensed as she awaited to see what he would do.

Modecai smiled. "There's no need for that." He said, still meeting the Mare's gaze.

Storm lifted her head as he spoke.
'If that is what you say, though my name is Relentless Storm...most just call me storm'
Just as she finished speaking, she had to swiftly put up a wall to protect herself from a throwing knife.
Turning to face the attackers, Storm reared. Her wings beating up a cloud lf san before having it take the shape of knives, killing two of the twenty assassians.
'I thought i was rid of you in those mountains.'
Said mare's voice held venom with each word

Mordecai drew his sword, easily holding it with one hand. He looked at the group of assassins.
"Well, Storm, I don't suppose you'd like some aid dealing with these... Pests, I suppose is the word I'd use." He said, as the blade bgan to crackle with electricity running through it. He raised it, aiming the tip at one of the assassins, who was proptly killed by the built up electric discharge. He then settled into a more ready stance, blade still crackling.

Storm nodded as she shielded herself from another attack.
'I would greatly appreciate some helping rid of these pests'
Storm willed the sand to grab an eney by his ankle, effectively throwing and hitting another of his commrads.
