Spirit whinnied out,for the bite had caught him right in the back of his neck,passing through his thick crest.He kicked out at Temon's face,but missed,so he pushed himself had against Temon,though the other stud's teeth still held fast.

Temon did not let go. He kept the pressure.

Spirit's teeth clenched and his eyes closed in pain,but the immediatly flew them open.Spirit then jumped up high,and rolled so he came down on top of Temon.But he hurt himself a bit in the process."How do you like those apples?"He jeered.

Temon stood up quickly, ignoring any pain he had in him. He charged right for Spirit and hit him hard.

Spirit flew in the air,sliding across the ground.When He stood again,the entire left side of his body was coated with scratches.Even his face.His eye,the one that wasn't swollen shut,blazed more terribly than ever before.He bowed his head,and charged again.This time,he bit down on the stallion's rump as they crashed together.

Temon felt the shock of pain shot through him. He kick at Spirit. His missed the first time, but the second time he kicked out, he hit Spirit in the neck.

Spirit felt a bruise forming,but he noticed Temon's neck was left unguarded.He lunged for it.But as he did,he found himself knocked off his feet.Not by Temon,but by his mother,who's forelock flew in the light breeze."I had to stop you."She said to her son."I couldn't let you kill my son,"She then said to Temon,"But I couldn't let him kill you either."Spirit looked puzzled.

Temon's eyes grew wide. His mouth dropped open. "Esperanza?! Is that you," Temon said. He hadn't seen her in years.

The elderly mare nodded.Spirit regained his feet.His scratches were now filled with dirt,and the anger drained from his face."How do you know him?"He demanded."I....I stood with him before your father,son."She said.She then hugged her first mate.

Temon nuzzled his beloved mare. He had missed. Then the question came to mind that he had wanted answered for year. "Did you have a foal after I left," he asked.

"The one you implanted within me?Who tore me so badly that I swore I'd never have another after Spirit?Yes.But I lost him Five years ago,a year before I met Strider."She said.He voice saddened."I named him Utah,for my father."Spirit then pushed his way between the couple."I still don't understand!You said you'd never loved before my father..."Esperanza cut in,"I didn't wnat to hurt you...."Spirit blocked her."Well now you've torn me mother!Happy?"

Temon looked over at Esperanza. He saw how sad she was when Spirit had said what he said. He looked over at Spirit. In a deep voice that bombed over the sounds around them, Temon said loudly, "It was not your mother's fault. We were not expecting to ever have a foal. I have bred with several mares before her, and not one of them had a foal. Thinking it was because of me, I thought we would be alright. That foal she had is my only son. I have no other in this world, nor shall I have any other. When I left your mother, I had never loved a mare as much as I had loved her. You should not be mad at your mother. Just be glad for all you have. You have a herd, a family, and a mother who loves you. As for me I have nothing, but to face this cold dark world on my own and know that I know I have a son, at lest I have someone who is apart of me or was apart of me." He stared hard at Spirit. Spirit should value all that he had, rather then bringing up the past.

Spirit bared his teeth.This stag may have stood with his mother before,but he had no right to boss him around!His pride was still terribly hurt by the embarrassment of injuries he had earned."So,What your saying,is you bred with my mother,only because you thought she was infertile?"The words cascaded from his mouth like thunder."WILL YOU STOP IT!"His mother snarled suddenly.Spirit gasped at her,and then stalked off by himself,the herd parting before him,no one tried to stop him.

"This is all my fault. I should have never come here," Temon said. "Maybe it would be best if I left." Temon looked over at Esperanza.

"No.I am through living lies.I will talk to my son.You will,too.We will make him understand.He's just so terribly confused.He never had a father,and he's about to become one.He has no idea how to treat a foal and is scared of becoming abusive and evil."
