(Oh right, I forgot to say that I'm changing Shetan's name. 'Cause I can B| Plus I kinda want to make it a weird Ebony-family tradition to name foals after their grandparents.)
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back,
Though you know I wish I could.
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.
~xX Devil's Advocate Xx~
Advocate nodded as Adelita walked off. He'd wait and hope that Shetan didn't come to visit. But in the meantime, a nicker could be heard just a bit aways off.(Zira) He replied with his own whinny, it also doubled as a check on Adelita.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the danger zone,
Step into the fantasy.
You are not invited,
To the other side of sanity.
~xX Sweet Abandon Xx~
Bandy blinked her blue eyes, their color just a shade or two different from her father's. The filly struggled up as her mother's voice rand out. Her black front hooves dug into the ground and she hoisted herself up, now balancing on her back striped hooves as well. She squealed triumphantly, but the reverberations vibrated her enough so she fell. Her shoulder struck first and she let out another squeal. Making a humming like noise in irritation, she tried again and succeeded again. this time when she stumbled, she managed to fall onto her mother. The filly then used Adelita to prop herself up and keep herself on her hooves. After a bit of rest, she began to start to make sense of this marvelous world she had been born into. First things first, she had to get a drink from mom. She turned, still sticking very close to Adelita. The newborn sniffed along her dam's flank, then her head slipped under Adelita's belly.
She quickly nursed, gulping down her first meal, then yawned to wake herself up. Blinking, she nudged her mother as if to ask what was coming up next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nobody's a picture perfect,
Everybody's got a dark side.
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
~xX The Colors of Falling Xx~
Oaka shied away from their questions, ears flickering backwards. Her voice was just a mutter when she replied.
"I dunno. I might come I guess." She looked back to Brumby, indecision written all over her.
"Vela's getting old, I don't know if I should leave him before or after or at all." Her brow was furrowed and she drifted forwards, ignoring Phantasma. She wasn't thinking or feeling as she put her neck over his back and just stood there, senseless and deep in thought. She'd never been good with emotions and hers right now were a sea of broiling questions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All this and you traded it for nothing.
A cheap lie, you put it in your pocket.
All this, yeah, you traded it for nothing.
Oh my, I can see your heart has met its end.
~xX Silver Phantasma Xx~
Phantasma smiled at her brother and bobbed her head in response to her father. She pranced over to Steel and laid her muzzle on her withers. She was smiling and happy, then turned and slowly walked back to Poesis so Steel could follow her. At the question or Oaka coming, she looked back at her dam.
"You are coming, right mama?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you make sure you're connected,
The writing's on the wall.
But if your mind's neglected,
Stumble you might fall.
~xX Go Boy's Pearly Shine Xx~
Shiner stopped her giggling and returned her stallion's nuzzle.
"I would've expected as much, seeing as were such goofballs." she made the end sound a bit like sweetened sarcasm, but they all knew it was true. She was just trying her hand at playing around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feels so good being bad,
There's no way I'm turning back.
Now pain is my pleasure
'Cause nothing could measure.
~xX Dark Light II Xx~
Dark's eyes narrowed, catching a back hoof from smacking Relic in the face. It had gotten about halfway to its destination, so she might've elbowed him.
"It's about both." She granted, eyes still feeling him out. The mare suspected he was suggesting something, but wasn't making it very prominent. He was being a bit sly and she wasn't sure if she liked that or not.
"But if I was teasing you," she continued, moving forwards to snap her tail in his face.
"How much do you think you could take?" She asked, head tilted so she could see him behind her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is it boys,
This is war.
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
~xX Ebony and Ivory II Xx~
Shetan nodded at whatever name she had just suggested for the filly. His spindly, sick-looking colt was moving towards him after prompts from his mother. Still extremely suspicious, he gave the colt a through sniffing over. Rift had walked to him sure-footedly, so maybe there was hope for him. But Shetan was dubious and finally decided to test his colt. He gave him a firm nudge, one that could make even the healthiest foal of the same age wobble. If Rift fell, he'd be condemned in Shetan's eyes. But, he'd still have to deal with Ruby, and
that was a discussion he did not want to have with the stubborn mare.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once upon a time somebody ran,
Somebody ran away saying,
'Fast as I can, I got to go, I got to go.'
Once upon a time we fell apart.
~xX Xanthos Xx~
Xanthos shrugged, relating to his motherly problems. She'd never seen her mother happy. As he invited her to go out, she checked that the stallions were preoccupied then moved forwards and disappeared into the trees, her spotted coat helping her blend in. Her tail was still flicking, trying to discourage flies from landing on her. Once they got deeper into the woods it would either get less buggy or the deer flies would come out. What she didn't realize though was that her very first heat scent had blossomed and was flowering through the air. She turned to face Galaxy.
"So, got any plans?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out,
'Cause I will never impress you.
I just wanna feel ok again.
~xX Casting Shadows Xx~
Cast flicked her ears, curious. He was acting to nervous! It was a bit surprising to her that the stallion could get nervous.
"Well, I've thought about it, yes. I would think I'd like having a foal, then I could teach it right and that'd be one less horse who'd end up being like Dark." She rambled on at the end, remembering all the times she'd thought of what she'd teach her foal, if she had one. And it was after this that she first began to realize what he was asking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it,
Don't push me, I'll fight it.
Never gonna give in,
Never gonna give it up, no.
~xX Herne's Shakil Xx~
Shakil snorted with happy amusement as his third daughter nearly ran into him. He nuzzled Cheeska back then reached down to nuzzle Cherokee.
"I can tell, but she'll soon get over that. Then we'll have to keep an eye on her, lest she run off!" He chuckled amusedly.
"Her name?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do I explain it,
When I don't know what to say?
What do I do now?
So much has changed.
~xX The Magic Touch Xx~
Midas nodded to her and nuzzled Renesmee.
"Well good luck to the both of you." He turned to speak to his mare.
"Do you want to stay longer or depart?" He asked her, though he hoped they could stay a bit longer.
