How long had she been fat? And how much trouble had being fat been? Nothing, compared to this. Echo watched her babies with wide teal-green eyes, seeing the three of them emerge for the first time. A little girl, and two little boys. All so different! She nickered, trying to cajole them closer to her, so she could lick at soft ears and downy coats. Precious. Absolutely precious.
Khalon was fit to bursting. Pride and terror welled up in that (formerly) mostly fearless heart, as he stared down at his little girl. A girl. If he could have paled, he may have. Luckily, he was black-coated, and better trained than to faint. The little boys looked so much like their mother. With luck, they would not be cursed with her butterfly friends. They would certainly grow up to be very manly stallions, and his little girl would break many hearts. ... On second thought, he would certainly be teaching his sons to break many legs if they looked at his little princess, that was for sure.
He moved over, urging one of the colts to his feet, silently encouraging. He would need to be the voice for the children, perhaps? Echo's unusual affliction could certainly provide a hindrance in the raising of the foals.
She SO knew what he was thinking. Green eyes narrowd as Khalon's nostrils flared, and she gave him a look that said she was reading him. The look was plain. Echo was good at giving them. No leg breaking, Khalon. Not for a few months, at least. She snorted, tossing her mane and moving closer to the foals, snapping at one of the butterflies that wandered too close to the filly. She'd not have any child of hers cursed with the things!
His ears went back at the look she gave him. No leg breaking. Yet.

The young colt stretched and let out a large yawn, pausing midway as he felt the confining basket lid toppling off of his wicker cage. Was it time to come out already?
His wobbly legs betraying him, he attempted to rise from the basket, the bright light above him hurting his sensitive eyes. He squinted, making out two tall figures towering over him, and two smaller ones beside him. Who were these creatures? Were they friends or foe?
He let out a small whinny, and struggled to step out of the basket, finally free from his comforting prison.

With the urging of the big black thing and much awkward flapping of his own feathered appendages he managed to get to his feet and stay on them. The basket had toppled over behind him during the attempt and he looked back at it curisouly. Had he really come out of there? It didn't seem like it was big enough for him to have fit inside.
Shaking his head and trying to figure out what to do with his wings he finally noticed there were other things beside the big black one. There was another big black one but it was smaller and had the things like him. There were more things his size too.
Nickering softly he rubbed at an eye with a wing and yawned.

After so much darkness and the muffled sound of voices, the flooding of the light had momentarily blinded the young filly. Light colored eyes blinked a few times, adjusting to the new experience of something other than darkness. Light, the filly discovered, was definitely underestimated.
Carefully her legs unfolded and lifted her up and a moment later she made an appearance into the world that she knew she would rather her and everyone else forget. Her feet tangled in the container that had been her home for who knew how long - time was irrelevant to a new child - and flopped onto the floor. After a moment she huffed and slowly slid herself up, knees threatening to buckle again for a good moment before she steadied herself and, finally getting used to the brightness, looked around.
Two small things, like her - though they were slightly bigger than her, now that she saw them...And the huge things. For now, she stood there silently, blinking owlishly at the four around her. Hm.

Names. Names. It was a shame that her say in them would be so limited. Teal eyes glanced over the three foals and she nickered again, trying to call them closer to her. She wanted so badly to be able to whisper out the names that had been chosen for them in her heart. But there was no way to share it. No way, ever.
She looked sad, looking at the children. Why? Khalon nosed at her, nipping on her ear. "They'll grow up big and strong. Is it because..." he rather knew. Her affliction, especially when they had started the matter of names. She had wanted so badly to help pick them out, but she could not suggest many names. "Now, our little girl, her name was going to be Brunhilde, right?" his grin was teasing.
Echo glared. Eyes narrowed, and as menacing as a kalona. Teeth were bared. Brunhilde was CERTAINLY not a choice, and Echo would kick him in the leg before she let him name her poor little girl that. In fact...
"OW! Resonance! I remember!" he bit back a foul word. Selene, one of Echo's friends, had actually helped with that name. He moved over and licked the filly's mane. "And then they were Sigfried and Lewis, right?"
She was so going to take him down. "Resonance." She nodded at the little girl. Gave him another look. Stop playing or DIE, stallion.
He blanched. "Sigao. That was what I wanted to name this one." he leaned in to his next foal, the colt with the red streak running down his nose. "I picked that one. And then we were naming you..." he watched the foal whose wings matched those of his partner fondly. "Dorian."
Echo hadn't heard the boys names yet. She's left the men alone to plot on those. And they were pleasant names. "Dorian. Sigao. Resonance." she called their names softly, calling them over to her.

Were those tall creatures talking to him?
Teal eyes squinted and widened, the small orbs slowly adjusting to the bright light shining around the group. They were intimidating, these bigger creatures, but at the same time, they seemed rather calming.
He listened to the two speak to one another, and took the opportunity to glance around him as the bigger creatures chatted. In no time, he was examining the two smaller creatures standing nearby. They seemed to meet at his eye level, and neither looked intimidating like the bigger ones did. Though... they looked oddly similiar in appearance, despite the obvious size difference.
An involuntary twitch brought his attention to his side, and he noticed for the first time that he had wings. Wiggling them around, he smiled, finding pleasure in the feathery extensions attached to himself. One of the others standing next to him had wings on their side as well... but the colt found his own to be more fascinating, with its teal shine reflecting off the sunlight. His small eyes fell upon a point that jutted from the other foal's head. What in the world was that?
The taller creature seemed to be addressing them now, and the colt's head turned to watch. The stallion uttered "Dorian" while meeting his gaze, and the colt tilted his head in curiousity. Dorian? What was that?
The other tall creature reiterated the words.... were they supposed to mean something important?

He could hear the big ones talking but wasn't paying much mind to it. He didn't know what any of it meant and he was still tired from tripping himself out of the thing behind him. If they wanted something they could find a way he understood right?
He left his wing hanging over his eyes since the brightness bothered him. It was easier this way to see even if it meant he couldn't see up very well. When the big thing leaned closer and said something he stumbled back slightly before deciding that the other larger thing looked less intimidating.
Ducking around the big thing that had moved close to him he scrambled under the other one and peered at the one that had almost touched him from around his hiding places leg.

((I have to apologize. RP's been dead due to RL and I didn't mean for it to take this long <3))
Everything was so confusing! Of course, Resonance had to make things confusing, otherwise it wasn't dramatic and for some reason she had a flair for it already. Bright, wide eyes looked up at the voices saying words that were likely very important but honestly, she had no idea what they meant. However, when her father licked at her mane and said 'Resonance' she made an affectionate noise - and the female, the pretty one with the butterflies - repeated the same word. Was that what she was called? Was she a Resonance?
Well, she had no idea what it was, but it sounded pretty enough. It would due, she supposed. Hopefully they would explain...Not that she'd get it right away. All three of them seemed to be a little on the slow side! Then again, they just got out of their baskets and it was to be expected.
The big-things lost her attention for the time being and it went, instead, to her two brothers. One of which was hiding and the other who seemed to be trying to figure out what she'd been trying to figure out moments before. Shifting away, the filly made her way to Dorian and nosed at him. Maybe he'd be more interesting than the one hiding or the big things.

He looked so much like her! Echo's eyes landed on the little boy with her wings first. Then they went to the sweet little boy hiding under her body and she crooned softly, leaning down to lip at his mane lovingly, and reassuringly. "Sigao." she crooned to him, before turning her attention to the unicorn filly, who appeared to be toddling towards Dorian.
Khalon was disappointed when his little princess tottered away. "Th- That's not how it's supposed to be Princess." silver eyes were mildly stricken. "Echo, make my little girl come back over here! Princess, come to daddy!"
Sha laughed. Khalon looked so very miserable! "Resonance not Princess." she gave him a snile and leaned over to nose at the dark stallion. "I Princess."
He looked mildly trapped, he was sure. "You aren't a princess, Echo." he gave her a wide grin, trying to avoid the trap he knew he was falling into. And the only way around it he could see? Extreme flattery. "You are a, uhh.... queen, of course."
She shook her head, amused, and turned her attention back to her three children, watching them quietly. Grow strong. She sidestepped around Sigao and lay down on the grass, felt Khalon relax next to her, both of them with an attentive eye on the foals. How would they grow? Develop? Her wish was for a strong family, bonded close by ties of love, not only blood.

Dorian. That sounded pleasant enough.
He was trying to focus on remembering his name when he noticed the dark filly heading his way. Taking a few steps back, he whinnied in confusion. What did she want with him? His teal wings ruffled and he glanced about, searching and attempting to understand what was going on. The other small colt had found its way underneath the mare... what was her name again? Princess Echo she called herself?
His eyes looked up to see the stressed expression on the stallion's face as he watched the filly head towards Dorian's direction.
Well, Dorian thought to himself, I'd rather face this Resonance creature than big 'ol him! Turning back, he stared wide-eyed at the approaching filly, now more curious than afraid of her intentions towards him.

He half listened to the one whom under he was hiding's words and half didn't. She'd called him something but he didn't know what it was or why she'd said it. Instead of puzzling over that he watched as the other two things his size moved about.
One had the fluffy things like him and the big one above him but that one had a pointy thing like the big black thing over there. The other one didn't have the fluffy stuff but had the pointy thing.
Odd
