The black stag smiled to himself as she continued to talk on and on about her raven friend Dana. No matter how annoying those wretched birds could be, they were very faithful friends. Lassan had his own raven friend, who was actually his best fried, even though he did not like to admit it. The raven was an older male named Giltrent who Lassan had known for most of his life. He trusted the bird with his life, and so far, that had worked out well. The odd thing about Giltrent was that he would not gossip as much as the others. Perhaps that is why Lassan favoured him the way he did. Giltrent could actually keep a secret unlike the rest of the lot.
Sunset then grew silent, obviously having run out of things to say about her feathered friend. His ears twitched as she asked him about his family. He let out a small sigh before he began. He might as well tell some one if they were willing to listen. "I'll tell you about them if you'd like." he told her cautiously. "but, if I become too boring, just let me know." he added, knowing that the story he was about to tell would be uneventful to most.
"Yes, I have a daughter. Actually I have three." he continued on. "Then are my sons." he said with a smile and a small shake of his head. "My eldest daughter, and the heir to my herd, is Shadow. Her mother, River, was the first love of my life. When Shadow was only a year old, her mother passed away." Lassan said. Even though that was years ago, it still saddened him to talk about the blue roan paint who had truly been the mare who he had ever loved the most.
"Then after that, I don't know what got into me. I was young and stupid and fell for two other mares at the same time. Personally I think it was my way of trying to forget abour River at the time. Anyway, there was Artava, an Arab mare who I found to be very nice. Then there was Raine, an odd Knabstrup mix who had her heart set one me. Needless to say that produced two more fillies. Illindream was Artava's daughter, and Kibitala was Raine's. Then, just after I got over the fact of River being gone, Artava and Illindream were killed by wolves." he told her quietly. It was almost as if he could tell this young mare anything. It was a strange sensation, having someone you could pour your past out to.
"Raine, who I think was glad that Artava and Illindream were out of the picture kept trying to claim me as hers and only hers. I did not feel the same way about her anymore, so, being the naive, young stallion that I was, I carried out another affair with Lynx, who is now one of my closests friends. Taren, my first son, was born. Soon after that, Raine was very angry with me and left to get pregnant by a dark stallion just to make me mad. The horse she happened to find was Masquerade, a stallion notorious for being a casanova, a regular don Juan." Lassan said, figuring that Sunset knew a little bit about Masquerade since she talked to the ravens so much. "Raine had the filly, Flame, but died giving birth to her. Even though she was not my own daughter, I treat her as one and love her just as much." Lassan said. Truth was Lassan had two adopted children with no blood relation to him, but he called himself their father and they called him theirs.
"Just about that time, a strange brindled mare showed up to my land during the winter. She was heavily pregnant at the time and was due any day. I took her in and she had her son, Polaris. He too is not my son, but I became his father. He never knew anyone else. As I got older I realised that I loved Venom, Polaris' mother. We are still together today." he said. He truly was ashamed of what had happened with him and all those other mares. True, he loved them all, but River and Venom seemed to be the two who had ever stolen his heart and refused to let it go. "Flame was in need of a surrogate mother to nurse from about the same time that Venom showed up, so she raised both her and Polaris." he added in.
"As for my younger children, Zeake and Cosette, they are both mine and Venom's foals. Zeake is your age, and Cosette is a year or so younger." Lassan told her. "They all live in Liberta, plus the other herd members." he commented. The stallion then realised that he forgot his granddaughter. "My daughter, Kibitala, became very depressed after her mother ran off from us and got pregnant on purpose. Kibitala then ran off to mess around so deal with her grief. She met Jigsaw, who turned out to be Flame's half brother on her father's side so Kibi and him were of no relation. She then became pregnant with Fantasma, who was raised by Venom with Cosette since Kibi never shows up. I really do worry for her. she will come once in a great while to see her daughter and then up and leave." Lassan finished as they arrived to his land.

~Sunset~
Sunset listened intently to the stallions story. It made him seem a bit older than she had first thought. He certainly had an interesting life. It upset her a bit to hear about how much of his family had died, and wanted to say something but never got a chance to. Now they appeared to be at their destination.So she simply said." I am very sorry to hear about how your mate and love and daughter died, I'm glad I have not had to go through that. It will be nice to meet your family though." She smiled at him.
