Story: (my word counter got 792 but man it looks like more o.o)

The dew hung on her pelt as she moved towards the pasture that lay just miles from her usual territory. She knew exactly why she was being called there. She wasn't stupid, of course she knew what today was. Not even her friend's secrecy and attempts at trickery was enough to fool this smart girl. Even with knowing exactly what laid in wait at that meeting spot, she went on with a soft grin. How could she not be just the slightest bit happy? This was one of the few times all her friends gathered together. Everyone in one place, in one of the best sets of moods. Even that grumpy old Hurricane seemed to thoroughly enjoy birthday celebrations. Today was more than about Notch and the day of her birth. More than a celebration of her life to the young filly.

Her pace slowed to a stop as she reached the tree line. The usually serious natured Equid taking just a few short moments to loosen up. To relax and drop her normal attitude for one much more relaxed and carefree. Usually that would be a chore for her to do, a bothersome chore. But today, today that action came naturally. Something she wanted to do. From where she was she could already hear the sounds of the others. They were all preparing for her arrival, hoping to catch her off guard. To surprise her for once. The large group was hard to miss, the loud noises easily reaching her ears. Notch payed little mind, letting the noise roll off her ears like it was never there. Today was not the day to disappoint. It was not the day to critic them.

With her ears forward and her usual neutral scowl, she moved once more. Doing her best to appear as normal as though she had no knowledge of what was laying in wait in front of her, she walked out of the tree line and over to the pasture. Her tail drifting now to the ground as she neared it, her eyes flicking just occasionally at the moving shadows that were waiting. Shadows that were growing more excited and wiggly. Ones that were very hard for her observant eyes to miss. Yet, she made no obvious signs that she had noticed them. It wasn't the time yet to react to them. She would wait until she got closer. Until they made the move, she would not react. Not until that specific word hit her ears.

"Surprise!"
The words rang out into the grassy field. A large boom in the silent air as many equids voiced the same word at the same time. With a few early and late birds sprinkled in there. From the high pitched voices belonging to excited foals to the lower, scratcher ones belonging to the oldest of the bunch...they all filled the pasture. Filled her ears. This brought genuine surprise to Notch who had been expecting a surprise of some kind but not one full of so many others. So many of her friends. She jumped a small length in surprise, the only visible emotion she shared despite being over joyed. That was one thing she couldn't control; the fact that she couldn't display all her current emotions. But that didn't matter much because she knew deep in her heart that they all knew that. That they had expected her to be on the emotionally mute side to this kind of display. In fact, they probably expected her to point out all their locations before they even had a chance to surprise her. But they did it anyhow, even knowing they would most likely fail, they took the time and effort to do so. And that was what this day meant to young Notch.

The day passed quicker than she wanted it to. Her day spent playing tag with the younger bunch, competing in competitions, eating what apples Fredrick would give up (which was a surprising amount), playing pranks on the unsuspecting adults and much more. She was game to do anything that brought smiles and glee to her extended adoptive family. Her day, the day meant to be about her was spent doing things with the equids she loved. She could careless about presents or sweets or even the attention. No, she only cared about one thing. The one thing that was better than any wish or thing she could want more than anything else. Spending a happy carefree day with everyone. Nothing was better or more satisfying than seeing all of them enjoying the day and events.
It was the one day she would go miles to protect and enjoy. The one day that ended with everyone happily exclaiming:

"Happy Birthday little Notch."

Story: Staring Khepri and Eve
North woke to a warm morning, much to her disappointment. She had been hoping for snow, or at least frost for her birthday. North stood up and headed to the stream. North took a drink, only to get jump-scared by Kehpri as The Happy-go-lucky mare screamed "Happy Birthday North!", threw leaves at her and then pranced off. After calming herself she headed off to find her young friend, Evelyn.

She found the mare who greeted her. North chatted with Eve for hours. "To bad It didn't snow, I like snow. It so cool, and white. Maybe we can find that rose patch and see if there are any white ones?" She said, looking at Evelyn when the mare suddenly took off. Confused she chased after to her, asking what was wrong. When Eve went into a gallup, She followed the black and white mare up a mountain until she lot track of her on the snowy peak. As She looked around she noticed details, a round cake like shape made of snow and various fruit and letters spelling happy birthday in crushed berry juice and snow. The cold loving mare smiled, realizing why her friend had taken her here. She had given North her birthday wish for snow. She turned as she heard a soft voice and saw Eve smiling as she held a white rose. "Happy Birth Day North" Eve said as she set the flower down. North laughed and started to pull the fruit out of the snow to share with her best friend.

Equid's Name: Aiode, Odie for short.
Age: 3 years.
Gender: Mare
Height: 12.2hh
Story: Every year, Odie goes on a trip to the Easthaven Volcanoes, her place of birth. In the early morning, just as the sun begins to breach a certain ridge, she slips away from her herd and travels east for several hours at a steady canter, taking short rest breaks in between. She spends the day silent, until she reaches the base late morning. There she allows herself a few moments of peace, gliding between trees as she nostalgically remembers the past. When she would make the trip with her parents, not alone. After her few moments of memory, she will turn south, and make her way up the gentle, forested hills of the base. Around mid-afternoon, she usually reaches the Waterfalls of Aldpine. Here she stops and rests, sometimes even dozing under an old Willow Tree, its soft leaves brushing her neck in a gentle rhythm. The slow, cooling heat of the setting sun wakes her up so she stands and continues. The forest peters out until she is surrounded by foggy darkness, barren apart from tough mountain grass and haphazardly placed boulders of different shapes and sizes. The moon rises during the night, lighting the path that is lined with pale silver gravel, like a starry path placed to take her to the moon. A few moments before the moon reaches it's peak, she reaches the peak of the mountain, and there she remains for the rest of the night, waiting for the long awaited show. The Aurora Borealis finally makes it's appearance then, welcoming her back to her secret place. The bright, shifting colors seem to her as though the dancing spirits of her family were wishing her a happy birthday. She lies in wait for the rest of the night, refusing to sleep as she instead uses the sky to inspire muse to compose short melodies, so she can hum them to herself. She eventually does fall asleep, but is awakened again by the new dawn, welcoming her to a new year. The next day is spent traveling home, at a much slower rate.

Story: She hates birthdays. Sure, you've survived this many years, but you're also that many years closer to death. Her friends drag her to parties, place a hat atop her head and a balloon around her tail and tell her to have fun! She socializes, and she loves the food. At her birthdays, she loves the free stuff. But other than that, she doesn't much like the actual idea of a birthday. She won't sing happy birthday or anything.
