As the sun rose above the horizon Urin began to stir once more. A lone bae stallion walked through the long shadows of morning through the many trees of Shrilal. He went were his hooves took him uncaring as to the end destination. He was in Shrilal... a tree must have sprouted. It didn't matter... the tree would grow and he'd take care of the mare for a time and then leave like her had done every time.
He did not care for foals in the least, or at least that's what he believed and showed. Though hidden beneath the surface in the deepest corners of his heart he perhaps may still care if only a minute amount. One way or another he was here. The large bae just stared right in front of him emotionlessly as he walked eventually he would stop when he had arrived. Passing more fruit trees and a pair of jala, Velg’larn’s hooves finally came to a halt in front of a pair of tiny saplings.
One tree, obviously his was purple with a spider web pattern on it and had silver and red leaves, while the other… seemed to a variety of blues and cyan’s with white stripe markings. He had no recollection of the mare he had met that would match the tree. The meeting must have been very brief and there no doubt in his mind she wouldn’t remember him either. But it didn’t matter it would be over in a matter of months
.
Velg’larn waited day for the mare but she never came… The trees still grew and Velg’larn still waited.

Lilith had come to Shrilal to meet her sisters by their tree. It had been a long time since they had gathered together and it was always refreshing to come here to the fruitlands. Lilith smiled happily as she watched the families and their foals. It was something to see that was certain. The crossbreed made sure to stay a good distance away from the other nequus… she was used to being attacked for just because of her ischa horn but it was certain she had more than just an ischa in her. She had both Reya and Jala blood because of her mother and bae from her father.
Through the trees Lilith thought she saw a purple bae... there's no way her father would be here is there? She'd just go and make sure it wasn't him Lilith hesitated before going. She'd just be a little late to meet her sisters... Of course if it was father she'd get stuck taking care of the foals again and he'd just leave... again. Lilith snorted thinking of how much she disliked taking care of Eris, that foal was a pain in the arse. She quietly hoped it wasn't her father...
As she approached it was sure enough it was her father. Lilith's stomach sank. "Father." Lilith called as she approached wait, why did she just try and get his attention? Lilith couldn't take back the word after it passed her mouth... there was no doubt she was going to be stuck here. A pair of saplings were evident as she came closer... When?! Lilith snorted irritated.
Velg'larn looked up his empty black eyes noticed his daughter approaching this would lessen the burden if she stayed. "Lilith." came his reply "As you can see... you will have more siblings." he took a surveying look around "And the mare is nowhere in sight." Velg'larn didn't really bother explaining she should know what he asked.
Lilith frowned it wouldn't have been so bad if the mother was around... she glanced back int he direction of her and her sister's tree. "Fine..." she said. He had at least been around when Storm was there, regardless of the irritants of having to take care of foals after. “I will do this once… for you father.” She said her voice held an edge...
Velg'larn said nothing after.
