The foal has come

[Serenity]

[ This is after 'Storyteller'. The next month]

Sashay groaned in pain. She had been on a walk aloe in the forest, when her stomach started to hurt her terribly. It began to rain, and Sashay went over to the foot of a tree, and collapsed. She lay on her side, her nostrils flaring. She strained her neck and let out a painful whinney to the sky. Her sides heaved, and the light gray mare squeezed her eyes shut. Thunder rumbled and black clouds rolled in.

Sashay's icey blue eyes were filled with agony, and she tried to think of something other than the pain that flooded over her. She knew it was time, for hewr water had broke not long ago.

After several moments of agony, Sashay's foal had been born. It was a pegasus filly. She had a silver body with a black muzzle, and black leg markings that stopped high up her leg like her mother. Her hair was an extremely dark Midnight blue, almost black. Her wing-feathers were also the color of her hair. She had silvery-blue eyes, and long dark lashes.

Sashay smiled, and managed to get in a sitting postition. The new mother nickered softly, and nuzzled her newborn to her feet. The filly finally managed to get onto her long, wobbly legs after a few tried. She whinnied happily, and pricked her ears towards her mother.

Sashay laughed softly and said quietly, "I will call you Silverstar."

[Serenity]

Sashay heard a familiar, worried whinney come from the distance. Silverstar pricked her ears, and whinnied back. Sashay nickered, and waited for he mate to land, for he was obviously at flight.

Sure enuogh, a few moments later, a white pegasus shape with dark blue hair appeared through the mist and the rain. "Sashay!? D-d-did you..?" The klight gray mare laughed softly, but briefly because of her exgastion.

Silverstar whinnied, and stumbled over to the bewhildered Blizzard. The newborn pegasus filly looked up at her father and babbled, "Hi hi!"

[Heartless Deity]

Story walked alone in the deep woods. Her dark mane draped over her neck and half of her face. Her brown eyes were some what alert and seemed lonely. She heard a stream nearbly and her slow walk turned to a lazy trot. The stream came to site and she eagerly went and drank.

Sheko plunged into the darkness of the woods. He had been chased by a mountain cat and on the, what seems like a, race. His blue eyes were wide ad alert, but he stumbled a few times from his site adjusting. He looked behind him to reasure he was alone then slowed down t oa tired trott. He grew very weiry from the cuts and wounds all over his body nd limped on. He had a long bright cut down the side of his cheak to his nose. Ran started to fall washing some of the ceaseless blood. Lightning cracked across the sky, then followed iwth a heavy boom of thunder.

[Serenity]

Silverstar whinnied fearfull at the sudden boom of thunder, and hid under Blizzards' wing. The proud father herded his new daughter next to him protectivly. The great stallion sniffed the air, and his ears went back. Sashay looked at him curiously, and then she too, sniffed the air.

Sashay picked up the scent of another stallion; hurt, on the wind. He seemed close by. Blizzard walked in front of Sashay, and Silverstar went over to her mother as well, afraid of why her father was acting so alert.

Blizzard stood fecensivly, ready to protect his family at all costs, if the stallion or anything else would be a threat to them.

[Heartless Deity]

Sheko's limpy trot turned to an unsteady canter. He was looking for shelter. He saw a clearing up ahead and there was a log. He couldnt make it over the log. He tempted to jump the piece of wood but his front hooves clipped it sending him to his chest in front of a stallion, mare, and foal. He tempted to stand,but only could get to his knees.

Story drank then continued to trot. She flicked her ears at te frightening sound of thunder but she kept going. She found a small cave and went to the back to dry off. She layed down quietly.

(Sorry I haven't been here. I thought you guys had forgotten me and my life is kind of stressful right now.)

"What is she doing out here?" Phantom asked himself quietly. He had seen Story. He followed her quietly. "Why are you alone?" he asked walking into the cave after her.

[Heartless Deity]

Story looked up, "Well, I didn't wan to intrude on Sashay's birth. So I wondered off..." Her brown eyes searched him "Where have you been? And why were you alone?" She asked curiously.

[Serenity]

[ We woudn't forget you animallover, we were waiting for you. (That sounded kinda...creepy. ) I'm sorry you've been having a bad time with your life. =( ]

Sashay gasped at the stallion that lay before them. "Y-you're hurt!" She said shockingly. Blizzard still had his ears back, and had stepped in front of Sashay and Silverstar. "You're not from ForestHerd. Why are you in our grounds?" He asked gravely. Before the stallion could reply, Silverstar wandered out from behind her father, ears pricked.

The newborn filly magaed to walk over to the hurt stallion, an sniff him. "Silverstar!" Sashay cried, afraid for her foal. "Momma, he's hurted!" Silverstar exlaimed, looking at her mother, expecting her to heal the wounded stallion. Sashay somehow magaed to ge to her feet, despite her exgahsgten. (I know I spelled that wrong.)

The worried mare knew she should heal this stallion, so her daughter wouldn't keep bothing the stallion, and worrying her. But, she was too tired and weak to heal at the moment. "I can't heal him, I need to be stronger." Sashay tried explaining to ehr daughter.

[animallover1992]

"I see. I've been around. I go off on my own alot. I'm not really one that hangs out with others" Phantom said. He lied down and gently shook his mane. "I never hang out with other horses. More then half the herd doesn't know who I am" he said thoughtfully.

[Heartless Deity]

"Well, than I know you more than others now then," She said smiling shyly. Story looked out the cave. It was still raining.

Sheko saw the foal, mare, and stallion then blacked out from blood loss. He dropped his head and laid there on his heaving, bleeding side.

[animallover1992]

"You know me better then anyone. Your my only real friend though" Phantom said quietly. He looked outside to see it still raining. "Why's it have to rain?" he asked and lied his head down. He hated rain.

[Heartless Deity]

Story smiled and nuzzled him friendily. A loud crack of thunder raced over the forest startling her a bit.

[animallover1992]

Phantom gave a small smile and laughed as he heard the thunder. "What? Scared of a little thunder?" he asked her jokingly.

[Serenity]

"Blizzard, you need to get him to the herd. Why don't you fly him back? Silverstar and I will be just fine on our own." Sashay asked him anxiously. Blizzard pondered a moment before replying, "Fine. But only if you promise me you two will be safe." Sashay smiled and nuzzled her mate. "Of course. I promise. Now you should go, he's getting weaker by the second." She advised.

Blizzard nodded and walked over to the stallion's limp body, using his strong neck to get the other stallion on his back. Blizzard gave a slight jump, getting the stallion's body in the correct position. Then Blizzard turned towards Silverstar and Sashay again. "Stay right here. I'll be back as soon as I can." He told them, before spreading his wings, and takeing flight.

[Heartless Deity]

Story looked at him, her eyes a little wide, "A little..." she said.

Sheko gained some consciencousness and onpened his eyes have way. HE saw he was in the air, but then passed out again and went limp.
