Mohini, and the great-great-granddaughter of Hawthorns Tony.
The line is Mohini - Kesari

Wade, she is every bit as beautiful as I remember her great-great-great-grandmother was, and it was quite a thrill to see her. It is also fantastic to know that Mohini's (and Tony's) line goes on.

Mary Ann,
And I truly know what the old Beodoin Sheik felt when he looked at many generations of the favored war horse. He was so protective of "one of a kind" blood that he used to sew the vulva's shut on the mares, so that they couldn't be bred by mistake by a tainted stallion, should the warriors be killed in battle. I regret White Tiger blood was not as revered and honored.

Wade, I do understand what you are saying and how you feel, but I love these so much that I wouldn't give a rat's rear end if they were part alien, and that's the way I feel. We can't undo the mistakes of the past, and I would rather have the ones we have, than have none at all.

Mary Ann,
And I too appreciate how your different eyes look at them and feel. And I too am glad for at least something.
