Welcome to Gaia! ::

*During the night Moonstruck awoke, hearing the fight. She could not see very far infront of her and walked into the darkness aimlessly, bleating quietly, her lungs still small and not yet done developing. She stopped, feeling a rush of air brush by her head followed by a swift, hard blow. She tumbled violently to the ground, and lay unconcious on the ground.*

*It was the white stallion who had hit her as he reared. Sepsis shot her head up, but out of the darkeness, the moon being nothing but a sliver, she searched the ground about her, neighing desperately, swinging her head about, searching for her foal in panic. The white stallion shoved against Ghost.*

See what you caused, I was trying to move away from them and now my foal is DEAD!

*He pushed against Ghost, charging his head down rapidly, though out of blindness missing almost every time, grazing Ghost's shoulder and neck deeply.*

*Sepsis became overwhelmed at the shout of death about her own foal, could she really be dead?!! She stood up, and opened her eyes wide, her pupils dialating nearly covering her irises, she found Moonstruck, merely a slight silver glow on the ground, not moving, and she assumed the worst. She became enraged, the loss of the one thing she loved most, taken from her in an instant.*

*She plunged to the lighter stallion, knowing it was the pink-eyed one and bit hard, repetetively, she tore at his flesh, enjoying his screams in pain, she bit his flank and pushed him down, ripping some of his skin away from him. He fell hard and fast, and she reared, beating down on his body with all of her weight, she bruised his flesh, tore his muscles and broke his ribs, puncturing his lungs, and licked his wounds, giving him a different death, slow and painful.*

Ghost roared. "That is your OWN FUALT!" He bellowed at him, wincing due to the injury he received. He then let Sepsis finished him and walked over to Moonstruck and lay down by the tiny filly. He draped his wing over her frail body and nudged her gently. He saw her eyes flicker slightly and he breathed in relief. "Sepsis, she's alive..." He said in relief.

Evander heard the violent screams and his ears pricked towards the noises. A drop of rain fell on his muzzle and he hissed, backing into the cave again.

Ghost shrugged his wing off the filly and got to his feet. "Yes...let's go." He said, walking beside Sepsis and Moonstruck. He looked up at the enormous raincloud and snorted. "Why is it raining, I could have sworn the raining season ended months ago..." He said. They approached the caves and Ghost saw Kipcha standing by the entrance. He whinnied to her.

Evander poked his head out of the cave for a moment to see Ghost, Sepsis and her filly approaching the caves. He sighed in relief, then returned inside the cave and reclused himself to a corner. He tucked his forelegs under him and lie down, laying his head on the cold floor and falling asleep.

*Sepsis looked back at the horrifying mess, a red stained white coat, his red, no longer pink eyes stayed open, the same miserable and pain-induced expression he had left this world with. She would go back tommarrow and decide wether his soul be blessed towards Hevan or damned to Hell. Right now somewhere it lingered on this earth, stricken in the eternal pain he would now feel. Sepsis felt again guilt. He didn't do as much damage as she had though at first, and to curse him with the feeling of pain for all eternity, even after he gave her what she had longed for for years. She stopped, Moonstruck stopping, too, and walked towards Kipcha and Ghost.*

Keep an eye on Moon..Theres something I have to do..

*Sepsis barreled back towards the ocean, avoiding the jungle, galloping faster than she had in many months of heavy pregnancy, and weeks more of having to stay by Moonstruck's side. She slowed and quickly stopped as she reached the body, wolves already comming towards it, she bared her teeth, flattening her ears and scared the two skittish grey wolves into the jungle of darkness, waiting for her to leave the potential meal.*

*Sepsis looked at the body in guild and disgust, feeling more weight upon her back now. She stood a moment, staring at the body then lowered her head, taking a good strong inhale of the odor already setting in. She jerked her head back and turned her head, vomiting, she quickly raced to a nearby tidepool. It was beautiful. Deep and wide, fillied with starfish and other ocean inhabatants of an array of bright colors, even in the darkness. She laid down, letting the water consume her entire body until she felt as if she would suffocate, as her lungs ached and her mind went crazy, screaming at her legs to push her out of the water, and screaming at her lungs to fill with precious air. But she didn't. She endured the pain the white stallion had, and finally rose from the water, finding the wolves were venturing back, though quickly receding as she approached the body, the water on her coat dripped on it, somehow glowing and shimmering like the stars themselves each drop that landed over his wounds and skin*

*Sepsis shook, much of the water falling upon the body. She stepped carefully over it, and began to nudge his insides back inside, pushing his coat more into place, and licked the wounds. But this time, it was different, she had abandoned her former self with the vomit and with the tide pool, possibly to be washed away into the ocean. As she passed her tounge over each wound, as it passed and left a fresh scar was left behind. The white stallion now had scars riddling his stomach, side and flank, his intrails were mixed up and his muscles and bones and lungs were very weak. But he slowly healed. She murmered some inaudible words, and assured his healing body would be left undisturbed by the hungry and vengant for the night.*

*She walked back to the tide pool and soaked in it halfway, gaining back the feeling of herself. And she walked back to the herd, her muzzle still coated with blood, and the heavy taste still in her mouth.*

*Sepsis walked as far as she could, her knees buckled and she collapsed out of exhaustion not far past the jungle, not being able to move a single muscle in her body. Resurecting the dead took away everything, even most of her life, she slept heavily, needing a long rest.*

*Moonstruck bleated, sticking very close to Kipcha's side, she bleated louder, more desperately, but dared not leave the side of someone she felt safe by. The louder and more she called for her dam, the more her voice began to sound like that of a horse, rather than a lamb, she neighed unevenly and somewhat confused, wondering if that strange new sound had come from her or someplace else. She could see, now her dam's heaving sides as the sun rose ever so slightly. She walked unsteadily towards the grey lump in the shorter grass, focusing on the protection of her dam, she continuted to make uneven, confusing neighs and whinnies, bleats and all sorts of other unsure sounds. She fell once, fell twice, and fell a few more times before she reached her dam's side. She worked her way up on her own, trying to gain a sense of balance and sure-footedness. Everytime she stepped, her scarlet red wings would flicker and flap, trying to keep herself up somehow.*

*In the still darkness of the jungle, the two starving wolves eyed the foal greedily. They saw no herd and they didn't see the lump of mare somehwat hidden in the grass, all they saw was a meal, slow and easy. The stalked the filly slowly, planning..Waiting.*

Ghost nuzzled Kipcha in return. "I-I'm fine, really." he said, but the pain showed in his voice as the blood streamed from his neck and shoulders. He turned his head and watched the blind wolves turn tail and run, then trotted after Moonstruck, helping her towards her dam. They reached Sepsis and Ghost nudged the grey mare slightly on her neck and sides. "Sepsis....you need to wake up just for a moment.." He said quietly. He glanced back at Kipcha and Diamond.

Evander awoke and lifted his head, seeing all his herd gone. He got to his feet and trotted out of the cave. He could make out the mares and Ghost in the darkness and he cantered to them.

Diamond opened her eyes back again seeing Ghost, Kipcha and Evander. Her shield blew off and the light went back into her gem. She nuzzled Moonstruck.
