*Dreamcloud jerked her head up as the sudden commotion came about. Seeing the children nearly be kicked in the head, she darted infront of them, her ears flattened back and her eyes hot with anger, biting Diamond, drawing a bit of blood. Now that the maternal instincts burned inside of her, she felt the need to watch over all of the young creatures, wether they were of her species or not. Jacob screamed, hiding his face in his sister's dress, her arms wrapped around his head and back, eyes wide with horror and fear.*

Prince backed from the fighting mares. His small bay body bumping into the childern's. He twirled around, flaring his wings, just as scared of them as they were of the mares. The smaller one had made a loud noise that intrested him. He sniffed them and sneezed but continued to carefully inspect them. He didn't know what to make of them and looked back over his shoulder at Dreamcloud, tucking his wings back.

Ghost snorted and darted after Kipcha in search of their filly. He took one huge leap and was airborne, soaring over the forest in frantic search. He finally spotted his little filly wandering deeper into the jungle. He neighed loudly and tucked his wings to his sides, hurtling into a steep dive. He snapped them open once he was almost to the ground and landed lightly beside her. He opened the wing nearest her and draped it over her, pulling his daughter close. He nuzzled her, happy that she was unharmed. "Lithea, why ever did you run off like that? You had your mother and I worried sick..." He said quietly.
Evander was standing up before any of them could blink again and he forced his way between the two angry mares and flared his wings. "Stop, both of you, now." He hissed, baring his fangs. He snorted flame and tossed his head, folding his wings back atop his back.

Lithea hid under her father's wing shivering. "Daddy." She nuzzled him and made herself as small as she could by his side.
Kipcha caught up with Ghost, nervous. "Oh baby, your ok we're here now." She nuzzled the filly and looked her over, searching for even the smallest wound. She looked to Ghost still clearly worried. "I let my guard down and I could've lost her, she could've been hurt."
Lithea squeezed herself between her parents, acting ashamed with her tail and ears tucked.

*Keeping her angry eyes on Diamond, her gaze softened as she backed up, looking upon Evander.*
((Time skip, hope nobody minds. Speak up if you do.))
*The long, mildly harsh winter came and thickened, and when Spring was just around the corner Dreamcloud became more and more protective over the children everday that the foal within her grew. Sarah had acostomed herself to spending alot of time with her Honey, and Dreamcloud had learned a bit of man's body language, somewhat understanding and learning that when she heard Honey, she was being spoken to. Changes began to make the young mare nervous, never having been pregnant before. She hadn't any idea of when she would need to find her way back to the caves, being around 6 or 7 months now. the herd having traveled a ways from the cave with the warming weather. The herd now resided among a newly sprouted thicket of trees that came to bear such sweet, delicious fruit. Red and glisening they plumped and even the little children enjoyed them.*

*Sepsis grazed on the sprouting grasses that thickened the land with plush, soft life. Moonstruck stayed by her side, attempting to nurse. Sepsis lifted her head and pulled away, figuring it should be time the filly tried other things besides the milk. Protestant, she tried and tried again to nose her way under her dam's belly, each time having it taken away from her. She had tried the grasses and apples that her dam grazed on, but found little intrest in it, never being as sweet or as enjoyable as the rich, warm milk. She became angry, shaking her head and jabbing her horn in all directions, a stabbing motion. As she tried a few more times with no sucess she pawed the ground and neighed loudly with anger, rearing a bit. Eventually, out of hunger, she nibbled on the grasses and eventually got enough to settle the pain of hunger, but lost interest before she was satisfied in fullness.*

I'm going to start playing Prince now.
Ghost half-reared next to a fruit tree and pulled off a juicy fruit form the lower middle. Pleased with his success, he chewed it in half, the other falling to the ground. Once finished with his first half, he lowered his head and snatched up the second, quickly devouring it. He snorted and looked up at his herd, taking a quick headcount. Once he had established that all were accounted for, he walked over and stood by Kipcha's side, nuzzling her neck. Ghost has slowly grown accustmoed to having the human foals around and now accepted them; however they still were not allowed near the foals.
Prince wormed his way between his two parents and nipped playfully at Lithea's rump. With an excited whinny, he backed up and pranced away from her. "Can't catch me!" He called back to her.
Evander watched as Prince enticed his sister into play. He smiled and lowered his head to resume his grazing. He snorted a touch of flame onto the grass and all around his muzzle died instantly. He smiled slightly and began eating on the deadened grass. He had been constantly beside Dreamcloud everyday, and out of the corner of his eye he watched her interact with the human children.

*Sarah lay in a short patch of grass, picking small yellow flowers and tying their stems in knots, weaving the next into the other. She tinkered with the flowers for a while, content at the warm day while Jacob watched in amazement as Evander blew a breath of fire. He had improved with speaking, his sister being a dedicated teacher and his birthday had come and past, receiving what little the young girl could find while stranded on an island. He wore the sparkling shell around his neck, tied around with a peice of some strong, stringy plant's vine.*
*Moon walked shyly near Prince and Lithea, she watched them closely, not quite understanding what they were doing, but it looked like fun. She became excited watching the two play, wanting to join in, but at the same time feeling the urge to sit on the side and simply watch.*

Kipcha returned the nuzzle, laughing at Prince and Lithea. The humans didn't bother her, probably becuase she was a mare with foals. She thought of them as part of the herd and held nothing against them. "Be carefull you two." She knew the twins were more than likely going to get in trouble, they managed to do it nearly everyday.
Lithea had grown over the months, now more of an even match for her brother than she had been. She streaked out from her parents sides after Prince. "I can too! Just you wait!" She raced straight towards him, staying clear of Sarah and Jacob as she had been warned.

Diamond became to accept the human foals, but just like any mother, she wasn't ready to let them come near her foals. Storm had been weaned and was getting stronger, and bolder. His wings grew larger almost every week. He had also been weaned and now favorited the sweet tasty grass then the milk, he had been shared. Jewel had also been starting to munch on the grass but she still favorited her mother's milk, and found the grass just to salty. Jewel had also gotton bigger and her coat became shinner and healthier. Her gem on her forehead also seemed to get stronger. She had also became more interactive with the other foals and had been playing games with them.
Diamond stood out in the sun just a few feet away from Ghost and Kipcha. Diamond grazed silently, as she swished the nerby flies away. Storm layed tiredly on the ground his head, laying on the warm grass, the sun beating on him, keeping him warm. Jewel however was prancing around the plains, trotting then galloping, trotting, galloping.

Prince squealed as his sister came after him and he lengthened his stride and surged forward, looking alot like his father. He saw Moon watching them play and came to an abrupt halt. "Wanna play too?" He asked her, his eyes shining and his ever-growing wings outstretched. He looked over at Jewely and asked her the same question. The more the merrier, in his mind. Before either of the fillies could answer he saw Lithea darting towards him out of the corner of his eye and snorted, then pivoted and kept running, his white wings flapping furiously for extra speed. "Come on slow poke!" He teased his sister. He too stayed clear of the children as he had been warned to do.
Ghost smiled and laughed as his foals engaged in play, chasing each other around. He shook his head, continuing to laugh. He shared Kipcha's thoughts in that they were more likely to get into trouble than stay out of it. He glanced over a Diamond and Storm. He had slowly started to tolerate the colt's presence more and more, but a certain weariness still held him from total welcome. He smiled at the sun-bathing coat, and then resumed watching his own.
Evander lifted his head slightly and looked at Jacob watching him, his eyes wide with wonder. A small smile touched his lips and he lifted his head from the ground and walked over to him, the children weren't far from him and Dreamcloud. He lowered his head to the boy and sniffed him, careful not to singe his clothing.

Jewel came to a halt her ears pricked forward. "Ok." She said smiling. Tossing her head in excitement she darted after Lithea and Prince, nickering in excitemnt. She extened her strides and in a few minutes she was next to Lithea.

Lithea paused breifly to look at Jewell and Moon. "Come, let's all get him!" She tossed her head sending her short bay mane flying. She kept her wings tucked tightly against her back. She bolted after Prince again, pushing herself to her full speed. "I'm not slow!" She caught up with Prince and nipped at his rump.
Kipcha watched the foals, almost waiting for them to get into trouble. She pulled at Ghost's withers.

*Jacob rolled onto his back, the stallion's height a bit staggering to him, he sheilded his face from his muzzle, but then reached one small hand out to touch him, enthralled to find a horse who had such powers.*
*Moonstruck shied away, back to Sepsis and lay down next to her, rolling onto her side. She had lately been giving her bright wings a try. Leaping into the air and flapping them madly, they had not grown very large. But instead increased in stregnth.*

Jewel tossed her head, and this time leaped into full speed. It was in a matter of seconds she was up by the other side of Prince and she nipped him on the flank playfully. "Got you!" She called, laughing.
