[VEX]

Lead Equine's Name:: Vex
Territory Name:: Occultus Undergrounds
Territory Description:: Here the trees stand tall and proud, strong and unbreakable to provide shelter from the elements for all sorts of creatures. Bears, bobcats, pumas, and other dangerous carnivorous mammals thrive here which also makes Occultus a prime place for the Proeliators. Vegetation flourishes in abundance with an assortment of goodies to snack on such as rich clover and sweet grass. There are various fresh water streams bubbling up from springs, zigzagging across the land to quench your thirst, and while the forest is indeed beautiful, it’s not what makes Occultus spectacular. Beneath the rich earth are miles and miles of caverns carved out of stone and clay from a river that has long dried up over the centuries. The tunnels are carved with fossils, painted with ancient murals of civilizations of equine creatures past, and dotted with precious gems embedded in the rock wall that emit a soft glow to light your path. It may seem like a labyrinth but should you keep walking without hesitation you will find yourself in the heart of the network of tunnels; a circular opening underground lit by glowing gems. In the middle of the room is a crystal clear pool of water whose origins come from an underground spring beneath the caverns. It is a place to rest safely and undisturbed by the outside world.

[atrb=width,530] He left that place of war and senseless death; he left it without looking back. The beast could barely suppress the shudder that threatened to ripple through his body as he thought back to that Fateful day, seen the image of the little filly’s face burned into his mind like a brand. Her parents couldn’t even console her now. No one could… and he should know better than anyone right? The irony. O’ how it bit him like a viper and injected crippling poisons of guilt and regret into his veins. A frown weighed heavy on his lips as he wandered aimlessly through this unfamiliar terrain. To his right did a lumbering bear looking for a snack most likely cause a disturbance in the brush but this didn’t concern the stallion. Proeliators needn’t be afraid of such animals – not when Vex could beckon and call on them when he willed it. With a gentle huff the stallion changed his direction and began walking down a sharp decline in the ground. He could hear water trickling in the distance and the occasional loud splash of something disturbing its’ flow. However, that could not deter his curiosity from what now stood in front of him. Tall, dark, opposing just like he could be. There was an opening to a cave that burrowed into the Earth. It became an itch that the brute could not scratch, a temptation to explore far more alluring than anything he’d encountered, but also a welcome distraction from the face that kept haunting his memories. Without a thought of hesitance, Vex entered the stone cavern, allowing his golden-flecked eyes to adjust to the dim lighting emanating from curious gemstones on the walls. He continued on, unperturbed by the darkness. Vex had always found more comfort at night. He’d always been slightly introverted, a complicated soul that was calmer not surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the day and the creatures in it. These caverns were an illusion but one he’d like to sink into as though it were a warm bath. O’ yes, he liked this place away from the noise and useless fucking prattling of society. This was his new society. It was with that thought that the handsome beast threw back his head and allowed a raucous bellow to reverberate up his throat, shatter the stillness of the air, ricochet through his new lands without remorse. Yes, his. "Occultus Undergrounds" He deemed them. It was time for the beast in the caves to start his new existence.
