Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry for the absence....and please be patient with me for awhile...my life is slightly hectic at the moment))

"Some sunshine will be perfect for them. I'm sure the rest of the herd would like to meet them as well." Kipcha nuzzled Prince forward and pushed Lithea after him. Both of the foals wobbled, Prince having less trouble than his sister. Kipcha guided them out of the cave and watched as they took in the sunlight and grass. Lithea wandered further than Prince, but no more than a few steps away from him.

Ghost trotted out of the cave fater Kicha and the foals, tossing his head in pride. The early morning sun shown warm on his back. He pranced alongside her and his colt and filly. They reached the herd and Ghost neighed loudly, announcing their arrival, prancing lightly. He halted amidst the herd and pawed at the ground. "We're back!" He said proudly.

Evander snorted loudly at the colt, startling him and he stretched open his dragon-like wings, blocking the sunlight from the colt's face. He turned his head to look at Ghost and Kipcha and their new foals. He smiled and left the Storm, walking closer to the foals, but keeping his distance. He knew Kipcha was weary of him and she was extra-protective of her new foals.

Kipcha watched over the twins, not wanting them to wander further than a step or two. She saw Evander and was glad that he kept his distance, she wasn't trying to be mean, she was just being protective. "Evander meet the newset herd members. Prince and his sister Lithea." She nuzzled Ghost and watched the pair amble around them. Every time one of the two would fall the other would wait untill they got up, then start wandering around again. They stayed close to Ghost and Kipcha, often rubbing against them.

*Dreamcloud looked away to the ocean, she hadnt seen the white stallion ever since he had attempted to get her pregnant. She thought about it seriously, watching Ghost and the rest fixing their attention to Kipcha and her foals. They wouldent notice if I left...Maybe for just a little while..Just enough to find that stallion...She thought harder still..Evander can't take the hints, I might as well. She stood and walked a few yards away, past Diamond and all. She looked back and waited, watching the herd as well as the distant beaches. She walked a bit farther and a bit farther ever few moments, watching the herd to see if they'd notice. After a good 15 minutes she turned and trotted towards the ocean, in search of the phantomly white stallion with the pink eyes.*

*Moonstruck clung near her dam rather than going to sniff about the new foals. She watched, however, very closely and very intently.*

*Dreamcloud trotted lightly upon the land, springtime bringing new prance to her step and more definity to her frail body. She soon came upon the clean dampened sands and immediately saw the now mostly white stallion. Some red and pink stained his coat, and a huge nasty and new scar was plastered across his stomach and side, along with his scarred and uneven flank. She feared what could have done this, and it was most likely on the island. She approached him cautiously, with the feeling of being watched hanging thickly about her like sticky, humid air. She slowly walked towards him, lying on the ground.*

*As she got closer she noticed a large chunk missing from his rear end, and that his lower legs were swollen, that the fresh scars were horribly infected and swarming with insects she did not recognize. His eyes were open but gone, eaten out by flies, his mouth hung deadly open, abnormally. She knew he was gone and had possibly been so for a while. She jumped back a few moments after seeing him and backed away, turning and heading slowly near the forest. The wind came towards her, changing directions, and the smell of rotting flesh hit her square in the face, she shook her head and galloped back towards the herd. Snorting and trying to forget the smell.*

Ghost sighed. "No, I won't run him off now...but as soon as he's capable, I will. I don't want a reocurring Casper..." He said,then turned and trotted back to Kipcha and hiw own foals.

Evander snorted and darted after Dreamcloud. "DREAMCLOUD!" He yelled once he had almost caught her. He quickly was ahead of her and he slid a stop, cutting off her path.

Prince walked after his father, untill Kipcha called him back. Lithea had started nursing again, swishing her short tail. Prince joined his sister, eating greedily. Kipcha turned her head to watch them before focusing back on Ghost. "She doesn't like that idea, but all colts must leave someday." She watched the herd carefully, standing still for the hungry foals. They were both healthly, which was increadibly rare, but they were skinny and Lithea was the smaller. They needed all the milk they could get and she was glad that neither were fighting over the milk. She sighed and nuzzled Ghost. She was tired, but she had foals to watch.

Diamond slowed to a halt and then looked around to her sroundings. Seeing Jewel tiredly lay down, currling up into a ball, she whinnied softly for her dam. Diamond imdetly nuzzled her and currled up around Jewel to keep the mare warm. The little filly drifted off to a sleep. Diamond looked over to see Storm raceing around. She chuckled to herself seeing him trip and almost fall, but gathered himself up and contiued to race. She yawned tiredly wanting to get some sleep. But not untill her adopted foal was safe with her she would not go to sleep, and would just warm her filly up and nuzzle her every so offen. Diamond kept a great eye on Storm, but also thought of what Ghost would do. Thinking of Storm made her think of what she was thinking. Would Ghost really chase his own colt away?
