"I brought the peace, like I was born to do."

As the herds are torn apart, destiny begins to mend them together. Two foals are born at the same time, though on different sides of the war. Will love bring the peace and finally bri...
Raja sat in the middle of the cave, his mother circling him. Other horses were watching curiously. "What's your mission?!" Rogue asked, her voice filled with bitterness.
"To conquer the forest under Prince's rule." Raja replied quickly and his mother nodded her head.
"Who's your enemy?" Rogue questioned and Raja hesitated.
"Picasso." He muttered and Rogue stopped in front of Raja and rolled her eyes.
"Say it louder!" Rogue demanded and lashed her tail.
"Picasso!" Raja snapped and looked down, I don't want an enemy. He thought to himself then lifted to his feet.
Rogue led him out of the cave, "This is the time, Jaguar let's go." Rogue signaled with her head. "Raja, be ready. Everyone stay here and do noting." Rogue snapped and Raja galloped deep into the woods.
Rogue and Jaguar tracked deep into the cave, the air became thicker and warmer. Jaguar spooked at a pop and saw it was a lava bubble bursting. "Anytime I come don here, it always gives me the creeps." Jaguar shivered.
"Don't be such a baby." Rogue hissed and dipped a stick into the lava using her mouth. Jaguar did the same and they left the cave. "Ready, set go!" Rogue laughed and galloped around StreamHerd's border, spreading the fire.
"Yes, Bramble, I'll find marigold." Dove dipped her head to the new medicine mare, and cantered from the den. "Picasso, I'm going out to find some herbs." Dove nickered, and Picasso nodded.
Dove trotted near the border and saw smoke rise above and she walked towards it curiously. Then the fire spread around her, trapping her in fire and smoke. "Help! Help me!" Dove yelled and reared.
She inhaled and exhaled smoke, and tried to escape the fire. Dove collapsed from the smoke and ashes, her eyes drooped and she lost focus. Suddenly, a buckskin yearling jumped over the flames and bent over Dove, eyeing her.
Dove gazed at his bright brown eyes and fainted. Raja kneeled down and used his neck to boost Dove up onto his back.
He galloped away from the flames, then a branch fell in front of him, blocking his path. Great job, mother. He sighed and jumped over it, making sure Dove didn't fall from his withers.
Raja then galloped to a river and fell in, the cool water soothing his burns on his legs. Raja's eyes also drooped and became hard to keep open.
Before he fainted he heard voices and something lifted him from the barely moving river.
"Wake up colt!" A thick voice snarled and Raja awoke quickly, coughing up water. "What are you doing on my territory?!" Hissed the same voice, nipping at Raja's neck.
Raja jumped to his hooves in seconds and his vision returned. He pointed out one of the stallions, Picasso.
Dove was still awakening, the horses nipping gently at her neck and ears. Suddenly Picasso charged up to him, yelling, "Leave my territory now!"
"No Picasso, he saved my life." Dove whispered, struggling to her hooves. Picasso glanced over at Dove, then returned to Raja.
"Ugh!" He hissed and paced around, lashing his tail. "What to you want from me in return for saving a StreamHerd warrior in training?" Picasso asked, keeping his anger to himself.
"I want to join your herd." Raja said simply, straightening up. Picasso winced and nodded his head.
"Fine, but one misbehavior, you're out!" Picasso snarled and turned away leading the patrol back to camp.
Raja looked back at Dove who was walking slowly up to him. "I'd though I'd never see you again, even better, you're joining our herd!" Dove whinnied and pressed against Raja.
Raja smiled falsely, you don't deserve my love, I'm a backstabbing traitor. He thought to himself and kept walking.
"Look, he did it!" She said excitingly, watching Raja and Dove walk off with Picasso's patrol. Jaguar smiled as well, and started to walk back to their territory.
"Luckily those fish-brains put out the fire with their water." He sighed, and swayed off. Rogue went deeper into the territory, wanting to see her son for one last time.
It was starting to get darker and Rogue watched as Picasso and Raja were talking. "Kill him now, what are you waiting for?!" Rogue said with irritation. She watched as Picasso walked away safely and Raja slept outside.
"Ugh, you blew it!" She hissed to herself and leaped over the fallen branches. Rogue galloped away back to her own herd.
Once they had reached the territory, Raja saw how all the stallions filed into a den, he started to follow them, but was stopped by Picasso. Picasso pinned his ears and nipped at Raja, driving him out of a den. "You can sleep out here, until you prove you're loyal enough to sleep in the dens." Picasso lashed his tail and walked away to his own den.
Raja watched helplessly, and soon laid down in a soft pile of sand, the river kept him up almost the whole night, but he also kept thinking about Rogue.
Once Rogue reached the cave, she settled down, ready to give birth to Jaguar's foal. She started to breath heavy, and pushed out the foal. The foal was a beautiful amber champagne colt with a large blaze down his face. Jaguar rushed in, aware of what happened and stopped over the foal.
"Wow, he's gorgeous." Jaguar gushed and settled down next to Rogue.
"I know, we'll teach him to be another killer." Rogue smiled devilishly.
"Nuka shall be his name." Rogue stood up so her foal could have some milk. She watched his tiny ears twitch and wiggle.
"He will complete Raja's mission if Raja fails." Rogue's voice became sterner. Jaguar dipped his head and let Rogue's head rest along his back.
