Subject: -|unnoticed disappearance

Fatale stood with others around newborn and mother only breifly before treading heavily away into a small but dense area of brush and thick trees.'Twas comforting to be concealed during birth,even more so considering it was nearing darkness.She knew she would not be missed,with all the commotion over the newest member of the cadre capturing the thoughts of the others.Darkness soon fell,and labor soon came.The mare moved about restlessly,laying then rising again as the foal moved slowly into the birth canal,but something was wrong.'Twas almost two hours into labor,and the contractions were awfully close and painful,yet still nothing was happening.No sounds were made,for she did not want to alert the others.Small,almost inaudible,sigh was given,followed by a low grunt as she stood,circled thrice,and resumed her laying position.Cranium was brought up to nip barrel before femora rested.Snort was released as a series of contractions came.Limbs were thrashed,seering pain almost unbearable.The foal,it seemed,was turned in the birth canal.Rolling to the opposite side,she stood,only to return to her side.Rolling again and again somehow managed to turn the foal right-ways.Now,fatale layed still,almost death-still.Breathing was immensely labored,a slight wheeze accompanying it from all the effort of rolling as well as the pain.Hindmost tress was instictively moved as actual birth began.Forelimbs and head emerged,followed by the shoulders,body,and hindquarters and hindlimbs.Fem forced self to lean up and clean the newborn,soft whuffles escaping.Rising to feet,she was very weak,but motherly instincts persuaded her to rise,protect,and feed her youngster through these vital hours.

Raven filla stirred on the ground as the coolness of the air struck her wet frame,but then a warmth overcame her face and then her chest,working it's way over her bodice.Orbs,blurry and unable to focus,remained on maternal figure,finding comfort in it's warmth.Watching it rise,she became wary,but the warmth of the 'washcloth' reassured her easily.Limbs were immediatly put to use and small filla attempted to rise.She stood,but only mere seconds before tumbling back to loam.Cranium shook and soon filla was attempting to gain her footing again,though once more she found herself in a heap,her dam's muzzle reassuring and encouraging her.Again and again she tried until at last she was up..wobbly but up.She staggered to mother's side,soft snort given as searched for the teats in which her her first and most vital feast would come.Finding them,she nursed intently as dam craned dial back to nuzzle and cleanse her furtherly.Life,so far,was good.

[> [> -|mother and child return -- He££aciou§ and §a†ane§§, 10:13:57 06/05/02 Wed (205.188.201.142)

After dispensing the after-birth and resting until daybreak,fem encouraged filla to awaken.Time to return to harem,it was,as she did not wish to alert any other than he who had seen her leave.She tread slowly through the underbrush and over the vegetation-laden loam,allowing the filly to stay with her as she attempted to control her limbs.

Youngster snorts cautiously as she follows her dam,staying close to her side.These long,hard-to-control limbs were not to the scraggly filla's liking,but she did her best and stayed at her mother's side.She was a tiny mirror-image of her dam,but she had the laid-back disposition of her sire.Nares flared,testing the air curiously.She could smell the others,but as her sight was still blurry and unfocused,she could not yet see them.As they neared,the towering frames of the others were frightening to the filly.In her short time of existence,she had only known her dam.Stopping,she cocked her small cranium,limbs squared and body rigid,but an encouraging whicker from her dam as she moved further away sent the little filly running after her,long limbs tangling and untangling themselves.Reaching her dam's side,she slowed back to a cautious walk,muzzle high in order to better take in the other's scents.The filla's first morn has brought her first social gathering.

Fatale nuzzles filla,then whickers softly to b'loved.She lips lightly at his mane as the filla explores.

Youngster looks about tentively,mahogany orbs settling 'pon that of Marionette.Snort was released as filla took a few waivering strides t'ward her,but stopping after she had gone about six steps from maternal's side.She watched the larger mare curiously,head cocked innocently to one side.Who was this?

- wicken snorted, almost in laughter at such an innocent poise. death faded from the eyes o' witch. snorting gently and lowering crania. ready t' see fearful reaction o' filly which she highly had no intentions of.. -

Filla squealed and swung small hindquarters around,striking out and off only a few strides before turning back around,head cocked again.To fight was her first reaction,but now she relized the larger mare did not mean harm.Snort was released as small filly cautiously walked nearer,mug extended.

- wicken snorted once more gently. mug extended t' full extent, reaching filla's gingerly. she felt slightly foolish, a mere 14 hands compared to a filla now, who was more than half her height, and how would it look when those lanky legs took form? she snorted softly, shaking all this from crania. oculiow soften, though the raging battles were still seen within them.. -

Snort was emitted as youngster stepped ever nearer,mug soon brushing fem's shoulder.Playful nip was given and filla half-reared,weak trill released.Aye,she saw the fire in the older female's eyes,yet even so,no fear was shown.
