Random Event-Pt. 2
After listening in closer you manage to pick up that it is indeed a group of horses, sounds like bachelors and that they are setting up some sort of competition with each other.
Whats even better, one of them mentions a reward!
Hm...

A. Ignore it, you don't have time for games

--------------->B. Approach them and ask what they are up too<-------------------
"Don't use those! That's a terrible idea!"
"Is everyone ready?"
"Almost, just waiting for this idiot to finish setting up..."
"Hey!"
The trio listened, ears perked. They definitely are horses. Karma tilts his head curiously, trying to peer through the flora to try and see what they're up to.
"See? Just a bunch'a youngsters, probably up to no good," Zafar huffs, rolling his eyes. "Let's go already, the sun ain't gettin' any higher."
Karma glances over at the older stallion, frowning. "but..."
Zafar raises a brow. "Yeah?"
Karma is quiet, looking back in the direction of the voices. They're still talking, shouting harsh words of challenge to each other. It doesn't sound like they're friends though, mainly just tolerating each other. But why would they be hanging around if they don't like one another?
"Karma?" Anora asks, stepping towards him.
"It's...I..." He shifts, swallowing thickly as he reluctantly meets her eyes. She smiles gently at him, her eyes warm as she gives a nod. Beside her Zafar huffs, though offers no other arguments.
"You gotta be BEHIND the line!" One of the voices shouts fairly loudly. It startles a group of birds, causing them to flutter up toward the sky with startled squawks. Karma finches at the noise, though it doesn't entirely scare him this time as he watches them go.
"You're not gonna get the reward if you end up cheating!"
"Fine fine!"
Karma's ears perk. A reward? He looks back at Zafar and Anora. They're watching him expectantly. They're giving him the choice as to what they do. Either walk away and find someplace for the night, or follow the shouting voices of these other horses and find out what they're doing.
Despite himself, he can't stop the curiosity from creeping up his legs, settling heavily in his stomach. If he's going to be living on the island for a while before his humans can find him, he might as well get acquainted with the life of a wild horse. Right? And that would include socializing and learning from other wild horses.
"Can...we at least go check things out?" Karma finally asks, looking nervously back at Zafar. The old stallion stares hard back at Karma, his jaw set.
He flicks an ear, before finally letting out a long, heavy sigh. "Alright fine...I guess it wouldn't hurt."
"Let's go then!" Anora chirps happily. This time she's taking the lead, pushing forward through a rather large bush-like plant with long wide leaves. "come on then!"
Excitedly Karma trots after her, unable to keep the smile off his face. Zafar brings up the rear, staying back a little way with an eye-roll. Karma can only shoot him a sheepish smile over his shoulder, struggling to contain the buzzing energy bouncing through his body.
For this first time, he's finding himself looking forward to exploring this island. He finds himself feeling a little more confident, and he isn't sure if it's because of his curiosity or the competitive side of him coming to light.
Whatever it is, he thanks it for bringing out the courage in himself.
It doesn't take long before the group comes into view. There are three in total, all standing around each other. They're talking more quietly than they had before, holding their heads together as if sharing a huge secret between themselves.
In front of them is a strange path marked out with sticks and rocks gathered together as makeshift markers. Said path marked out had been crudely cleared, though roots and trampled leaves remain behind with patches of dirt shining through. The path continues on a little bit before curving around a bend, continuing out of sight.
"Hey, fellas!" Anora calls to them.
The stallions all finch, their heads shooting up as they look over at their group with wide, surprised eyes.
Karma smiles almost shyly towards them, coming to a stop beside Anora just outside the marked path. Zafar hangs back, foraging and nibbling around the ground, completely uninterested in the going's on.
"What's everyone up to?" Anora continues to ask, a confident smile on her face as the three stranger horses glance at each other. They wait patiently for their response.
