The Cloud's Silver Lining {Wild Horses}

[horsemane01]

Midnight saw a good place ahead. He nudged Rain and Flaming Arrow towards the valley. He wanted them to go through the water, but thought of the foal.
Flaming Arrow let Mdnight push her where he wanted her to go.

[Geozap]

Rain turned in the direction that Midnight was indicating. It looks good. Safe. She smiled.
Safe. The thought made her happy. The wolves were farther away now.

The foal nickered again. It galloped ahead, bucking and playing.

[horsemane01]

Midnight kept running until they were in the valley.
Flaming Arrow lowered her head and grazed.

[Geozap]

Rain stopped, and lay down. She was exhausted. She lay her head down on the grass. She was breathing heavy, and her breaths were raspy. She lay there for a few minutes, unmoving.
She got up, finally. Her legs were shaky, but she was okay. She nudged her foal closer to her, so he-and the foal was indeed a he- could nurse.

The Colt looked at Rain, worried. When she got up he sighed and followed where her nudge was directing. He began to nurse, the milk occasionally spilling out of his mouth and into his nose.

Midnight Magic smiled at the little colt. He looked at Rain. "Are you going to be okay?" He asked.
Flaming Arrow contnued to graze.

[Geozap]

Rain nodded.
"Giving birth isn't as easy as it might look..." She said with a quiet laugh. She admired the foal.
"He's beautiful. What should we name him? I was thinking...
Dancer. He's so light on his feet." She smiled, looking at Midnight for approval.

The colt sniffed, and sneezed. He pulled his muzzle away, and licked the milk off his nose.

[horsemane01]

"Dancer sounds perfect." Midnight said. She nuzzled her happily.

[Geozap]

Rain smiled, and nuzzled Midnight back. She glanced at the Dancer happily.

Dancer jumped around, pleased with his name. He nickered and ran over to Flaming Arrow, curious.

[horsemane01]

Midnight smiled. He watched Dancer happily.
Flaming Arrow looked at the colt. She smiled and stopped grazing.

[Geozap]

Rain lied down, relaxing.
Dancer nickered to Flaming Arrow.
