Brandy's Foal - Burden or Treasure?

[nightMARE - Back?]

As she slid to a stop, her waters broke and she fell to her knees. A contraction pulsated through her womb and with her might she pushed. A foal in the sac lay beside her. the membrane broke and the foal was free. A fiery chestnut colt. She began to lick him to stimulate the bloodstream.

[Jai]

Survivor nuzzled her as he stood beside her. He watched the foal, smiling. It was beautiful, even though he was a bit jealous it wasnt his.

She stood up and she watched as the colt tried to stand. He fell, tried again and managed to get purchase on the grass. He took a step, stumbled and lay there in the grass, bemused. Then he tried again and was able to walk. He took his first tentative steps towards Brandy's teats and drunk. As he did, she groomed him, then whinnied softly at Survivor. Firenze she said softly. She liked it

[Jai]

Survivor put his head gently on her withers. "He's perfect, just like his mother," he said softly to her. He nickered to the colt and smiled.

[nightMARE - Back?]

She giggled. You are more perfect. she said nuzzling him, then Firenze.
Firenze pointed his little chestnut ears towards Survivor. Papa he said nudging Survivor. Then he turned to Brandy. Mummy! he squealed, plunging forwards, under Brandy's legs. He peeped out at Survivor. Hallo again Papa
Brandy snickered, amused.

[Jai]

Survivor laughed and nudged the foal, grinning wider. He nuzzled Brandy again. He said, "We should head home. This place is dangerous." As the last word escaped from his lips, he glimpsed two beady eyes watching them from the bushes. He snorted and stomped his foot, muscles rippling under his coat. The eyes shrunk back, but he knew they would return.

[nightMARE - Back?]

Brandy, seeing the eyes, froze, standing protectively over Firenze. She nodded at Survivor, nuzzled him then trotted back to Shadowherd
