Solstice just looked at Scorn. She didn't know what to even say or think, but Scorn had only reminded her of Dra and the fight. "Scorn...please don't remind me about the fight..I thought I lost you all that day.." she said a bit hurt, "Watching him kill you all in front of me..." she sighed as she looked at Phoenix, "I know what it feels like to be in chains similar to those...controlled by a powerful stallion.."
Namir only got a bit closer when he felt it was necessary. It was clear Phoenix seemed to fear him a bit since the day they fought. It was the only way Namir could keep Solstice in the herd when she was younger. Phoenix was covered in scars. Some being from Namir. "Don't even try to make a move Phoenix. You know I'll do the same thing I did last time." he warned. It was clear Namir made that stallion and his herd to fear him. The only way to keep her safe.
Solstice just looked at her brother then Phoenix then back at her brother. "Y-you fought him before? How come you never told me! That was why you told me to stay away that day....and why you came back hurt..wasn't it.." she asked looking at him. Namir sighed as he nodded explaining it to her, "I could have lost you...then I would have had no one! I was only a few months old..."
"I had no choice sis...he was going to hurt you...hurt you enough to where you..." he sighed, "All I've ever done was risk myself to protect you...I guess now it's Orion's turn..." Phoenix only seemed to laugh. Namir just gave him a look which caused him to go silent, "This isn't over for you Phoenix. It never will be." Solstice just sighed as she looked back at Scorn and the one mare.
Phoenix looked at the mare that came over a bit creeped out by her eyes. He only tried to break away from the chains a third time, but they just got too tight for him to move. Namir only shook his head, "I don't think this is Dra's doing...that stallion has always been like this. Let's his anger and obsessiveness get the best of him. If Dra had anything to do with it then he only increased his attitude and hate."
Solstice just sighed as she looked at the mare then Scorn then Phoenix. "I can't. I only did that to Skadi and Khepri because I knew they were mainly only under his control. They grew up around him causing them to be a lot like him which meant them and the others went after me because I wasn't accepted into the herd, but Phoenix won't change. It'll do nothing to him. Even if I did it, who knows what would happen. He's powered by anger and cruel ways."
Phoenix just chuckled a bit, "That or your too soft." Solstice stomped her hoof as her horn, necklace, and eyes started to glow again as she tightened the chains on him more. "Alright alright!" he huffed snorting as she stopped. "You guys are crazy! Especially you.." he said looking at Jackqehl. The chains may have started to draw some blood in parts of his body, but nothing serious.
"Just make sure he leaves the Isle for good. He shouldn't ever have a herd let alone a mare. Besides it'll be hard for him to find new mares when he looks like this. Your wings are pretty torn. I'd be surprised if you could even fly straight anymore." Solstice said before she looked at Scorn, "I'm going to the rest of the mares that stayed in the herd..they need to know they don't need to deal with him anymore. I expect for him to be gone by the time I return." she snorted.
With that, Solstice opened her wings again as she took off to the sky flying a decent pace until she reached the rest of the mares. She saw that they seemed scared when saw the shadow of her wings, but she slowly and carefully landed in the meadow. She made sure to give them all room. Solstice looked at all the mares. Only one with a foal, but they all had some scars. "I'm not here to hurt any of you..." she said softly in a calm voice.
The mares just looked at each other unsure of this mare, but one mare took a hesitant but small step forward as her foal hid behind her, "S-solstice...?" she said a bit shakily as she recognized her a bit, "You look so...different...with those wings...." she said looking her over. The mare was named Moonshine, or Moon for short. Quite a beautiful mare to be honest. "W-what are you doing here..? You should leave now or..."
Her coat was a deep blue that seemed to shine. She had a tobiano pattern, and a blue and white mane and tail. She said a blue spot on her forehead where she had her blue horn, and a blue gem headpiece she wore. More like a necklace...she just wore it on her head. Such a beautiful mare only to be covered in scars, and seemed to be a bit thin. Her foal on the other was in a worse shape.
Solstice smiled a bit, "Yes...it's me.." she said in a soft caring tone. Moon was Phoenix's most prized mare. Meaning he often kept her away from outcasts...like Solstice. "Had them since the day I left.." she smiled as she brought her wings to her sides, "There's no reason to be afraid anymore...Phoenix should be off the Isle by now. You all are free to do as you wish, but Scorn is more then happy to let you join his herd if you wish."
Moon just looked at the other mares. Her foal just peeked out from behind her, "It's alright little one...we're safe.." she whispered as she barely nudged the foal. The poor thing was so small and tiny. Solstice was hurt when she saw him, "He's really gone...? I never thought something like that was possible.." she said sadly. "Since you left...everyone else started to leave shortly after..some nights no one left, but Phoenix hated it. Some nights he caught mares, and punished them...like me.." she said. That must have been why she was thin and covered in scars.
"You all should come with me...at least stay with us for a few days. Rest and recoup. We can heal you even, but I'd have to take you there.." she said. Moon and the others seemed to agree as they followed Solstice. When they returned, Solstice made sure everyone was still there as she brought them to a more open area. Moon and her foal just laid down, and Solstice was concerned for the foal. "How old is he...?" she asked.
Moon sighed, "I had him a bit later then I was supposed to...he's only a week..maybe two.." she said painfully. "Phoenix didn't accept him as his son because he was born small and weak, but he only made it worse for the little guy...I'm afraid even with your help he won't make it. He's too small anyway.." She only watched the colt as he closed his eyes, "I did the best I could for him..sometimes it's just not meant to be.."
Solstice just laid down next to the two, "I'm sure you were a great mother...and I'm sure he loved you. You did what you could.." she said quietly as she tried comforting the mare. Though after a minute, Solstice just gently put her horn on Moon, and did the healing spell Eclipsetess showed her earlier that day. One by one the scars faded showing her gorgeous blue coat again, "You'll find a better stallion one day..." she said before she got up and checked on the other mares before she went over to Orion feeling bad for the mares, but was also tired.

"Alright you heard Solstice, though ever touch my herd or your old herd, and I'll punish you worse then seven thousand stars dying all together, and Namir can make sure of that." Scorn said, Jackqehl just laughed creepily and went to Scorn's sides to protect him, she was always the smallest grown mare but the fastest to Scorn's surprise when she joined freely.
Then Scorn's golden chains disinegrated and he trotted up the hill to watch Phoenix leave, it was his fault anyways, but Scorn secretly teleported Phoenix to the Mainland so he doesn't go after Scorn's or even try his herd. So the Mainland didn't allow fantasy horses, Phoenix's wings would disappear in matter of seconds as horses were running and a couple or two creatures on the horses riding after a running herd.
Though when Scorn went over to check on Grey Cloud, he quickly went to Namir and apologized as Eclipsetess flew over as well and did the samething, but this time more lovingly and sweetly.. Scorn left just shortly after apologizing as he didn't want to interrupt the process.
Grey Cloud did stand up as she felt like it, but she then had to lay down again, and Scorn saw how she acted so he rushed over to help her in anyway, but he just let her sleep when she needed it the most.. But he did carefully walk over to Solstice with bubbling questions that seemed to have annoyed him..
"Uh Solstice? May I ask something?" Scorn said, he walked up to Solstice and Orion like he was going to talk to both of them with the silliest idea next to his real question.
Eclipsetess was off grazing, and actually regretting ever yelling at Namir, but she then laughed at herself as she would act like that when she and Namir ever decided to have foals, but she quickly just hushed up when she thought that Namir wouldn't be with her anymore since she yelled at him for no reason but being mad..
Though she did lay down by a tree, when she layed down, she looked at the ground, and she started to cry to herself as she remembered yelling at Namir.. It actually upset so much she was crying loudly but to herself as Scorn looked over at Eclipsetess when she started to cry.. It hurt his feelings and he showed it by expressing worry for the poor mare to realize what she had done and why Scorn only appraised for it, but he then looked at the ground.
Eclipsetess stopped crying when she felt being watched as Scorn quickly looked at the ground, she then got up and ran off to the forest as she didn't wanna be watched or asked why she was crying, she only wanted solitude so, running away to hide was the only option for her.
Azulia watched Eclipsetess run off with worry, Raven shared the same expression but in a different way, but she only ran off to Esmeray and Moonlight as they were sleeping, Azulia only laughed at Raven and trotted to Trickster as the three were sleeping together peacefully.
Azulia then layed her head down when Raven was ready to sleep, Esmeray and Moonlight were like their mother if they were a cuddly mare with two cute foals that were more adorable then ever! Raven being included since she and Esmeray shared the same weird coat marking..
Anyways, Azulia loved her foal and her friend's two foals, both being curious but also being taught the basics about everything that they know, but Trickster wasn't to teach her foals that since she did sleep through a stallion fight, but it was reasonable to not watch it.
Azulia just laughed, but she then looked around for a little bit before heading to sleep, she was worried for Eclipsetess but she could always come back perfectly fine too, Azulia just waited for Eclipsetess to come back and apologize for running off she always did that when she ran off, always made Scorn look for her until she was found.. Grey Cloud and Scorn had a wonderful time with that.. (Not really since it's sarcasm)

Namir looked over at the mares from Phoenix's herd. Some he knew others he didn't, but he didn't like to see them like that. Especially Moon and her foal. They seemed to get the worst of it. The herd was just broken. Solstice seemed to understand that more then Namir did, but he just stayed somewhat near Scorn and Phoenix. "I better not see you again." he snorted before he turned around and walked away leaving Scorn to deal with him.
Phoenix only rolled his eyes. He soon realized that the chains started to disintegrate off of him as felt relieved to be able to move again. He flapped his wings as a few feathers were barely hanging on. He just gave them all one last look before he turned and started to leave. Phoenix tried to fly away, but his wings were just too damaged to even get him higher then a few feet. He didn't seem to happy about it, but he just looked back at Scorn snorting.
Though that was when he was brought someplace he didn't recognize. His wings were gone, and he wasn't sure what to do. All he saw was a herd of horses running as some had creatures on their backs. Before he realized it, a strange object tied around his throat. Then another and another. He had only just gotten out of those chains, and now he was in something similar! Phoenix only tried to fight it but failed. It wasn't long until he saw the strange creatures and seemed to figure out where he was.
Solstice just stood next to Orion thinking about things. She felt bad for the mares..for Moon. Even if they may have treated her badly. She couldn't hold a grudge against them forever. "If only I knew what he was doing to them earlier...maybe Moon's foal could have been saved if I had known..." she said hurt as she looked at the mares. "I could have done something sooner if I had known.."
Orion only nuzzled her before he shook his head, "But you wouldn't have known. It's not your fault Solstice. You have no reason to blame yourself...Moon and her foal will be reunited one day, but there was nothing you could have done. You have a good heart Solstice. Your not bad in anyway...your just misunderstood by some.." Solstice just silently listened as she leaned against him giving a small nod.
Namir had just been making sure everyone was alright for the most part, and that Phoenix, Skadi, or Khepri didn't come back. He'd chase them off the Isle if he had to. He just looked over at Solstice and Orion and sighed before he looked over seeing Scorn come over. Wasn't sure why he apologized, but Namir accepted it anyway. Namir just nuzzled Eclipsetess as she apologized seeming to accept her's as well.
Solstice looked over seeing Scorn had come over to where her and Orion had been standing. She thought that it was a bit odd since he never really came over to them, but she didn't mind. "Sure? What is it?" she asked unsure of what he could have possibly wanted to ask her. Or even ask Orion. They both just patiently waited to hear what he wanted to ask as Solstice tried to put on a small smile.
Namir just watched Eclipsetess seeing how bad she felt, but he wasn't sure how to approach her. Though he couldn't keep seeing her like this. When he was starting to walk over to her, Eclipsetess had run off. He sighed looking over at Azulia for a moment before he ran after Eclipsetess. Even if she didn't want to be found. He didn't want to leave her by herself like that. Who would that have made him?
Namir slowed down as he looked around for Eclipsetess. He thought he was close when he started to hear something that sounded like crying. "Eclipsetess..." he said softly as he found her, but he did give her some space if she needed it, "I'm not mad at you...you just got a bit out of control.." he said laying down trying to comfort her, "It's just hard to finally realize that my sister doesn't need me anymore..." he sighed.
"But you yelling at me won't keep me away from you..it never will. You are exactly what this herd needs, and more. What I need. I traveled across the Isles to save you didn't I? Nothing would be the same without you.." he smiled a bit, "Because I love you Eclipsetess..." he said as he still gave her space, but he understood if she didn't want to talk. He just couldn't leave her out there like this without saying anything.

"I may not be the best at asking, but I want to know the new mares statuses, inlcuding the one with her foal. I want to know what happened, the other mares can tell something bad happened, I mean with Azulia sensing and all. But still, I want to know every new mares status." Scorn asked, he was a bold one for coming out like that, but he wanted to know what happened and what's the status of every new mare.
Though with Eclipsetess and Namir..
"I know.. Namir.. But still.." Eclipsetess's voice trailed off, it was still obvious that she was crying, but not like she was before.
"I'm just.. Not good with feelings.. I never really felt anything when I was a foal actually.. I was a terrible mare for my herd.. I know Scorn said that every mare he had joined him, but I was rescued into the herd.." Eclipsetess said, she shared some of her life with Namir.
"I never really felt anything that I should have felt, besides dying, protection, being protective, caring, and on rarer conditions I can be really kind and feeling attraction for you.. Heh.." Eclipsetess added on, she did smile at Namir.
"But do you know what I ever wanted to feel when I was a foal?" Eclipsetess looked at Namir straight into his eyes, her blue eyes still shedding tears from every now and then, but not much of shedding tears that much.
"I was always the easier foal to take care of.." Eclipsetess said under her breath, but it more of a mumble or murmur really.
------------------------------------------------
Shortest reply ever.. heh!

Solstice looked down a bit as she looked over at the mares sighing a bit, "He treated them worse then he did when I was still in the herd.." she said her tone sounding a bit hurt, "The blue mare with the foal...her name is Moon. She was the mare Phoenix valued the most for her color and beauty, but he treated her and her foal worse then the others." she said sadly as she looked back over at Moon seeing that she had fallen asleep. They all seemed to have fallen asleep knowing they were safe now.
"Like Isis said...he punished and harmed the mares that tried to leave. Moon said Phoenix would hide some nights in order to catch mares that planned on leaving. After that, he hurt them. Most of them were covered in scars, but Moon got the worst of it..so did her foal.." Solstice paused for a moment. Maybe she should have made Phoenix feel pain as much as he did to them.
Though she only sighed as she looked back at Scorn, "Moon and another two mares seem a bit underweight, but they should be better in a couple days..Moon's foal on the other hoof.." Solstice paused a bit as a tear may have came to her eye, "He won't make it...I'm afraid...even if I tried to do anything it wouldn't work..he's just too small and weak..how Phoenix could harm a foal like that...I just..." Solstice just looked down getting closer to Orion a bit.
"Nothing like this ever happened when I was in the herd...there may have been a lot of things I didn't see, but he was more of a monster then I thought...if only I'd known. If only I'd known they started to leave after I did.." she muttered blaming herself again, but she just tried to keep herself together as she looked at Scorn again, "I'll keep an eye on them...If they wake up before nightfall, I'll check on them again, if not then I'll wait til morning.."
Namir just got up and laid down next to Eclipsetess, "I'm not either...I've had to put my emotions aside several times throughout the years..even when it hurt me. I do everything and anything I can to keep my sister safe...you as well. Even if both of you are quite stubborn sometimes.." he said trying to make her feel a bit better. "I may not have had a...bad childhood like the others, but that doesn't make me any better or different then all of you."
"The past can hurt..but we can make our future bright..." Namir paused for a moment, "Eclipsetess the herd wouldn't be the same without you. You were willing to die to save my sister...she was devastated to hear that you did that..I was devastated.." he sighed, "I don't know what things were like for you when you were a foal, and I won't ask you to tell me, but this herd is a family..your family. Everyone cares about you, and we care about each other. It doesn't matter where you came from...it's about who you choose to be."

"Alright that sounds like a plan then, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to call Orion, alright?" Scorn said, he teased the two like how Eclipsetess teased Namir, but he sounded professional at teasing the two.
"Even I showed you how my life was during the memories, it wouldn't pain me anymore to know someone I love feels the sameway, and I before I ran off, I thought of being mad like when you and I would have a foal.. But that only caused me more pain to feel rather then joy.." Eclipsetess's voice trailed off for a little, Eclipsetess did laugh at what Namir said, he was right about her and Solstice both being stubborn.
"And who you choose to be with, you can't forget that!" Eclipsetess added to what Namir said, she then looked off into the distance.
"You know I didn't want you to follow me, but it would've been better like this instead of harboring feelings all by yourself and experiencing pain.. Hm.." Eclipsetess huffed at the end, she then yawned as she rested her self against Namir.
Within minutes she fell asleep to the sweet silence, and how much more relaxing it was to not have lot's of stress on you and weighing on you, the silence certainly worked for Eclipsetess as she fell asleep on Namir like a tired Trickster but more of a little foal.
Though Eclipsetess brought up her head when she thought about the mare, Moonshine, and her little sickly colt.. She wanted to do something, and it bugged her now as she looked down and began thinking what to do with the poor colt and how to keep him alive..
"Namir? Do you ever get the sense you want to help somehorse, somefoal, at least one of them?" Eclipsetess asked Namir, she rested her head on the ground when she tried to think but couldn't think on what to do or what to even say back to Namir, it was driving Eclipsetess a bit mad..
"And don't you ever want to do it now? Or some time you wanted to help but couldn't because it didn't feel like the right time?" Eclipsetess got up and asked Namir again, she was wanting to help the poor foal of Moonshine, and she couldn't get the foal out of her mind on how small and weak it was..

Solstice just gave a small nod and managed to give him a small smile. She looked over at the mares happy to see that they were getting the rest she knew they needed, but it pained her seeing them like that. Even after she managed to heal all of their scars using the spell Eclipsetess had showed her. She felt bad for Moonshine most of all. She was forced to become Phoenix's mate. She never loved him. She always saw the monster he was.
Orion just softly nudged her, "They'll be fine. Especially in your care, but you can't help care for them unless you care for yourself too. You should try to at least take a nap. I know you were up last night. At least just rest for a little bit. It's been a long day for you." he said seeing how tired she was. "You have to sleep at some point Solstice." he said as he laid down urging her to do the same.
Solstice just let out a small sigh as she nodded and laid down beside him. "Wake me up if anything happens?" she asked him before she nuzzled him and placed her head on his back closing her eyes. He was right...like always. Solstice was tired, and she couldn't stay up all day everyday with little to no sleep. Orion only nodded as he made sure she went to sleep before he watched the herd.
Namir only listened to her, "You would be a great mother Eclipsetess...nothing will make me say otherwise. We aren't perfect," he said before he grinned a bit, "You two are a lot like each other even if you don't realize it, but you probably wouldn't believe me when I say that Solstice was quite demanding when she was little. Some days were a pain I'll tell you that..." he seemed to smile remembering the good times, but he wasn't going to change anything. He was happy...well at least happier then he was earlier.
"You really think I was going to let you run off?" he said with a small laugh, "Never." Though Namir just smiled as it got quiet, and she had fallen asleep. He hoped she would feel a bit better after she got some sleep. Namir just looked around enjoying the peace and quiet. Something he didn't get often, but he did think about Phoenix. He had a feeling Scorn did something more then make sure he left the Isle, but he didn't think about too much.
Namir was almost entirely lost in his thoughts when Eclipsetess had woken up. He almost didn't realize she did wake up at first. Once he realized he looked at her and thought over what she said, "I try and help someone when I can, but I'm not exactly sure by what you mean.." he said a bit confused, but he did know it seemed like she wanted to help someone, she just wasn't sure how. "Your worried about the foal..aren't you..?" he asked looking down as he felt bad.
Moon was slightly older then Namir. Maybe just by a year or two, but she was never rude. Always caring despite her mate. He didn't like to see her the way he did earlier since they were friends once, but the foal just made it worse. She had always wanted to be a mother, and he knew it pained her to see her colt struggling to stay alive. "What is there that we can do? It's dangerous moving him anywhere else..especially to Oceanus. I'm surprised he was able to even make it to the herd.." Not that Namir didn't want to help him, but he wasn't sure if there was anything they could have done.

"Hm, I know there's a spell somewhere where you can nurse a foal back to it's original health, I just don't know where it could be.." Eclipsetess's voice trailed off, then she summoned her book and instantly started skimming through pages until she found the one spell.
"Huh, did the spell change or did I never use it?" Eclipsetess was asking herself a question, but she remembered performing it once.
"Namir, this spell.. I used to do it once to bring a colt back to it's original health, he was an angel... And somehow I performed it perfectly, but I was in training to be a guardian.. So that was a longer time ago then I'd expect it to be.." Eclipsetess said, she looked back at the page where it had the spell.
"Maybe Nature can cure the foal, I know a dream where the Isle of Dreams was on fire, Azulia told me herself, she seemed quite scared and paranoid until I calmed her down, she seems to be more happier now at least.." Eclipsetess looked down at the ground before refocusing again.
"A-Anyways, Nature knows how to make pancakes that can heal wounded bodies, she can a vine nest to heal you, she knows a lot more about healing then Oceanus does, I mean she is called "Mother Nature" the sweetest horse that accepted herself as a way of healing. But how did she even embodiment her own body?" Eclipsetess asked at the end, it seemed like Nature didn't always have a body then?
"I mean.. I looked at Nature's life, and she was correct about something, being the wife of a much more eviler tyrant in the future, I just don't get it why she ran off though.. I looked at an old page on Dra's life and he seemed excited to have a foal with Nature, but she ran off and never came back.. It seemed like she was deciding whether to die or to be happy.. It was like she decided to die instead.." Eclipsetess said, she copied the spell on her horn making a moon marking on her right hind quarter, and it was white against the brown coat of her.
"Maybe I'm just exaggerating since I'm tired, but I at least want to get some sleep in this quiet peaceful space, how about you? I know you must be wanting to sleep, my little man~" Eclipsetess teased, she laughed aloud and seemed to be very happy about it.
Though Scorn was walking to Grey Cloud who was up and moving around at this time of night to ensure safety amongst the new mares, but she did nuzzle Scorn happily when she was worried for him, though Trickster was also up mostly because she slept all day and night. Making her two foals want to play at night but they were hushed when Trickster hushed them and walked over to update Grey Cloud and Scorn about no one getting up.
"Go to bed, I can take the night job perfectly, unless Trickster wants to watch over the herd?" Scorn asked Trickster, she seemed to have agreed and walked around as she told her foals to go sleep with Azulia and her foal for the night, which they did happily.
"I'll make sure every mare gets sleep, not accounting your mares Scorn, they are always up no matter what. They seem to also be watching and helping.." Trickster said, Scorn laughed a little as he nudged Trickster off, and he nudged Grey Cloud back towards her spot for the night.

Namir just looked at her and watched as she pulled out her book, "Well if you've done it before I'm sure you could do it again.." he said as he read the spell over, "Can at least try. If only I had done more when I fought Phoenix and won. I could have saved the herd from him if I would have known he was going to do all those horrible things to them." he sighed as he looked in the direction the herd was.
"Didn't Azulia say that she had a dream where her and Scorn were burned, and that Nature was healing them when my sister was in her's? What if they were connected in a way? I mean it's possible...isn't it?" Namir was just unsure of what to think, but it was just a thought. "Would the little guy even be able to eat pancakes? We'd have to do something to where he'd be able to eat them..he's just so...tiny and weak.." he said looking down as he felt bad.
Namir just listened to her thinking things over, "I'm not sure, but maybe there's just some things she doesn't want others to know? Either way I'm sure you'll figure it out," he said before he let out a small laugh, "And back to calling me little are we?" he smiled, "Well since Phoenix is finally gone..the Isle is at peace. Though I'm sure another stallion will come with a herd..." Namir only guessed it would happen, but he just smiled as he laid his head down and closed his eyes.
Orion had been watching the herd and the mares for a bit before he closed his eyes. Solstice was still asleep, and he just let her. He already knew she was going to be up at some point throughout the night. Most of everyone seemed to be asleep anyway, and it was a peaceful and quiet night after a long day. Hopefully everyone would be able to get some shut eye. Even if it was just for a couple hours.
Solstice had slept somewhat well for a few hours, but she just couldn't stop thinking about Moon and her foal. Eventually she just woke up, and looked over at the two. She couldn't help but to get up and quietly walk over to them. The poor thing was so tiny. Solstice had thought Moon was asleep, but she just opened her eyes and looked at Solstice, "Did I wake you? I'm sorry if I did..." Solstice said quietly.
Moon only shook her head, "Can't sleep...won't sleep.." she sighed looking down at her foal, "I fear every night that I'm going to loose him...he's a fighter that's for sure..like his father." It was still hard for Moon and the others to think that Phoenix was gone, but they still stayed somewhat near each other, "You should go back to sleep...don't worry about us...your still young Solstice. You need to sleep."
Solstice sighed as she looked at the colt, "Well...at least he's fighting..but he won't be anything like his father if we find a way to help him." she said trying to be positive as she nuzzled Moon a bit to comfort her before she looked down, "Ever since the day I left the herd, I always struggled to sleep. The same day Dra took someone close to me...we went Isle to Isle to get her back..." Solstice paused for a minute as it was all coming back to her.
"It wasn't too long until Dra started to target me...the others tried protecting me..Faith even brought me to the Heavens to learn about my magic and to keep me safe..but it all proved to be useless. Dra had gained control of my mind..I hurt my brother, and almost lost everyone..things still haven't been easy after that...the statue of me is only a constant reminder of what I've been through.." she sighed.
Moon just silently listened feeling bad that Solstice had gone through a lot. Even when she is still young, "Solstice you are stronger then him...the past can hurt, but you can't let it become your weakness. It'll only destroy you. Trust me...I've watched it happen with my father. I'd hate to see someone like you go through something like that. You have everyone here to help you when you need it. Orion loves you and you love him. Make your own future how you want it. Make it bright. Now in order to do that..you need to go sleep. So go."
Solstice mainly looked down as Moon quietly spoke. She eventually looked up at her and smiled a bit. "You definitely have that motherly tone.." she said before she gave a nod and gave Moon a small hug, "You need sleep too y'know..." Moon only laughed a bit and nodded before Solstice went back over to Orion and laid back down beside him wrapping her wings around the both of them as she fell back asleep.

"Let's sleep until it gets morning, I'm sure both of us would sleep like what Trickster did yesterday, always sleeping in the day and being active at night now." Eclipsetess said, she then put her head back on Namir and finally went to sleep, though the burning dream from Scorn and Azulia rang aloud as she dreamt it.. But in a different version.
Eclipsetess's dream was the samething like Azulia and Scorn's nightmarish dream, though her dream had the same fire, same smoke, but Eclipsetess was being frantic in the dream. She was searching for her friends, her herd, her family that she loved very much..
Though that was when Eclipsetess heard a tree break and snap, and that was when her dream ended and where she got up sweaty and scared-like, she was also shivering since she had thought and dreamt something real..
"H-?" Eclipsetess started to take deep breaths, to calm herself, but she couldn't sleep this time and so, Eclipsetess got up and walked back to the herd since she couldn't sleep.
And that was when Eclipsetess walked over to Moon and her foal, she wanted to check on the two to keep them safe, so she looked at Moon and then her foal as she layed down near them but not next to them, so she could keep an eye on them. Though she did look up at the slowly rising sun.
Scorn looked up at the sky and at Grey Cloud, the silence made him think, Eclipsetess was off protecting Moon and her foal. Trickster was just still guarding, but she did start to wander the herd once she saw the sun in the corner of her eye, she did even start to check the mares indivually once Scorn's mares began wandering when they woke up.
"Grey Cloud rest, I told you that already." Scorn nuzzled Grey Cloud, she refused and had gotten up with Scorn letting her lean against him.
"You are the only stallion that will let a mare be, now be my lead stallion and let me lean or let me be like you usually do but staying quite near in case of anything." Grey Cloud told Scorn, he looked down as Grey Cloud kept walking as she talked with Scorn keeping up enough to have Grey Cloud lean on him still.

Namir only nodded, "I just hope my sister gets the sleep she needs...I know she doesn't get much sleep during the night, but she does a lot during the day as well." he sighed before he just laid his head down and closed his eyes. Sometimes Namir just got too much sleep. He just couldn't help it sometimes. He was always like that. Sometimes he remembered being woken up by his father if he wasn't up when the sun was up. Good times...
Though he was slightly awake when Eclipsetess had woken up shivering and scared. He just fell fully back to sleep for a little bit longer when she left. Almost like he needed five more minutes. That stallion and sleep. Sometimes when he fell asleep it was just hard for him to be woken up. Other times he just pretended to be asleep. Simply just resting seemed to calm the stallion. It was easiest to remember when he was colt when he was resting or simply just sleeping.
Moon had watched Solstice go back over to Orion. She smiled seeing the way she snuggled up next to him, but she was distracted by her colt when she noticed he had woken. "Go back to sleep little one...we're safe now.." she said softly as she nuzzled the little thing. Though when he went back to sleep, she almost wanted to tear up. Moon did look at the other mares before she tried to go back to sleep again. Solstice was right as well...she was exhausted, but she was asleep by the time Eclipsetess had come over.
Solstice seemed to sleep somewhat well for the rest of the night. Though she seemed to want to sleep longer when Orion had been nudging her gently. "I don't care if the sun's up. I want to sleep a little longer," she muttered complaining a bit before she just snuggled up closer to him as she used one of her wings to cover her face..well her horn did peak out. What harm would a little more sleep do?
Orion only laughed to himself. "I was wondering when you would get some sleep..seems like you got plenty tonight if your still by my side. In that case, it's time to get up." he said seeming to enjoy this as he nudged her again, "Come on Solstice. The sun is up, and the mares are waking. You should really check on them. Especially Moon and her foal." he said nudging her a final time.
Solstice just peeked at him still keeping her wing where it was, "You tell me to sleep, but then you wake me up when I want to sleep? That doesn't even make sense." she grumbled staying where she was even if she was now awake. "I can't just go check on them right when they wake up Orion." For once Solstice seemed a bit grouching, but Orion seemed to be enjoying it a bit.
He simply just nipped her side again, "I don't care. I want you up, so your gonna get up." he said with a small laugh, "Besides you never know what today will be like. I'm sure the foals would love to play with you soon, but you can't play with them unless you get up~" Solstice just brought her wing to her side as she nipped his cheek, "Ouch alright alright I'll stop." he said with a smile.
Solstice just gave him a look, "You just wanted to wake me up just for the fun of it." she said before she got up and stretched a bit. "Fine I'm up. Happy?" Orion only got up and let out a small laugh. She only nipped him again before she walked over to Moon and her foal seeing Eclipsetess with them, "How is he..?" she asked even though she probably already knew the answer, and it pained her.
Moon had woken at first light, but she stayed put. The other mares had just got up and moved around a bit. Moon just cared about her colt's well being more then her own. Sure she lost some weight, but she just wanted him to be alright. That colt was already extremely lucky to still be alive. "Not well...I'm afraid he's getting worse..I had a feeling this would happen with moving him here.." she sighed clearly hurt.
Solstice had just frowned as she looked at Eclipsetess, "The spell you showed me yesterday isn't strong enough to help him, but I don't know any other healing spells.." she sighed wishing she could help. "We can't take him to Oceanus.." she said looking at the colt as he just slept. Not only was he small and weak, he was dirty. "Poor thing.." Solstice always wanted to help others, but she didn't know how she could help Moon's foal...or even if she could.

"I had a spell I did for a foal once, but that was so long ago, and I was in training at that time.. But I did it with perfectness.. He was like this little one here, the same size but he sadly passed away during his birth, which pained me to see a little heavenly foal come up to me with the most caring eyes ever.. I still remember the spell perfect for him.. But it would be too late anyways.. I'm still digging through my old book to find any perfect spells that fit this little one here, and I told Namir that Nature could make healing pancakes, but that would go wrong since I can tell he didn't teeth yet.." Eclipsetess said, she then examined the foal, looking at him from a distance.
Though Nature poked her head from the ground and spooked the heck out of Eclipsetess as she took off into the air silently for the little foal that was resting right next to his momma..
"I heard my name?" Nature said, she was her lovely self with also smelling like fresh baked cookies, Eclipsetess landed back down to the ground silently again.
"You smell like fresh baked cookies, which I'm hungry for.." Eclipsetess admitted to Nature, the mare seemed to giggle as she acknowledged the foal.
"I can feel pain you know, which got me to move here quickly, I also made some treats and things for the little foal here, I am like everyone says but I'm not saying or quoting it." Nature said, she then layed down looking at the beautiful foal.
"Ashame that a foal can be cured from this, you just need to look harder Eclipsetess, take this flower and look at it." Nature said in a rhymed trick, but Eclipsetess did summon her fauna book and examined the flower before flipping to the specific page.
"Lilith Growth, a flower that can heal anything back to it's original self without needing nothing, this flower is quite common in meadows and vallies, but quite rare with different colors, this flower is known for healing to the core, meaning that a little foal that passed can be revived, this flower was tested and it was true for it's magical healing process. This flower can heal within seconds and can make a timed foal live longer then expected, you can find it in your herb pile as an red salsa colored flower exporting longer tendril-like pollen-tentacles, and having thorns like a rose flower but to the touch of the stem you can be healed by the stem as well. This flower was picked and chose to be used in the Great War between the extinct wolves except Fenrir and the longer living horses of today." Eclipsetess recited the flower's information, but she did mention that a icy blue color can have stronger magical healing.
"And that's why I have thousands as I use them for baking." Nature said, she planted the flower next to the foal and it started growing and glowing.
"This isn't going to be a "jack and the bean stalk" type of thing right?" Eclipsetess asked Nature, she just laughed at looking at the glowing foal.
"No, but the flower instantly gets to work, it has a radius of seven thousand kilometers! Bigger then the Isle of Dreams itself!" Nature said, she went to hush herself and then she projected a lullaby from her head to the foals head to keep him asleep.
"Like I said before "I know what I'm doing, and I know what to do, whether or not horses doubt me, but I am the most infamous horse for being a connection to Dra but a famous one for trying my best at something." Nature said, she was dealing with everything more then anyone could count.
"But I did merge with the Isle when I was about to die, Darling still in my stomach, and I was ready to go to the Heavens since I didn't want my baby to be like her father.. It was a sad way to go, but the Isle then started making me and my little bun glow within ourselves, making me apart of the Isle and my daughter being herself but hidden from Dra.. I shouldn't have left Dra since he went mad, but I didn't want him and his "wolf pack" to influence my baby." Nature said, half of what she said was dark but it was true to the last bit.
"Yeah.. Accounting you had vine magic, the most rarest form of nature magic, is that why you were named Nature?" Eclipsetess asked Nature, she looked at Eclipsetess with the softest eyes she had since they were green.
"Dear, a magma pony that was sweet and caring, something only an Isle can produce with the exception of letting me have the most rarest magic ever to help everything.. And besides, Azulia, Scorn's, and your dream about Isle of Dreams burning was from me actually.. I was showing you the future when something happened.. But I cannot explain it either.. An oracle gave me the vision of the future, but it looked way far ahead as I was seeing buildings and shacks with horses more advanced then normal. That's the future I saw.." Nature told Eclipsetess straight into the eyes, she didn't back down as her voice seemed hurt and broken from the vision.
"I never expect a foal or an Isle to be hurt more then ever, but I have things that died off or I summoned them without saying nothing since we do have some extinct flowers back, you certainly changed the future a little bit Eclipsetess and with your mate no doubt, thank you for making someone aware." Nature said, she looked at Eclipsetess for this one.
"Oh it seems like the foal looks like it's chubby or the flower is putting the right nutrients in the foal for it to look normal!" Nature pointed out, the flower was doing something extraordinary and it seemed like it got to Moon as well since Nature and Eclipsetess noticed that Moon was glowing and seemed like she was getting the same nutrients the flower was giving.
Though the flower got done as the foal seemed like it stopped glowing and looked rather like Raven and Esmeray when they get a little chonky from eating too much grass when Azulia or Trickster give them grass to eat but ended up eating too much grass, though the flower didn't stop until Moon looked a little chunky as well, then the flower stopped and withered away quite fast.
"Oh the Lilith Growth withered away, well I documented what it did." Eclipsetess said, Nature picked it up as she smiled at Eclipsetess happily when she said that she documented the Lilith Growth putting nutrients into Moon and her little foal.
Though Nature then ate the flower without reason and rather quick, Eclipsetess was just confused, but then realized that she was Mother Nature, she ate anything she wanted..
"Well.." Eclipsetess just said.

Solstice just looked at Eclipsetess as she spoke, but she ended up looking at the colt, "Maybe I should have knocked some sense into Phoenix...if I had known he hurt his own son I would have gone after him myself. Well I would have just had to take him by surprise since I was hiding in the trees and shrubs when he came here to fight Scorn.." she said loosing a bit of focus as she looked down a bit.
Moon only looked at Solstice letting out a small quiet laugh, "Ah so you were the one I sensed. I had a feeling someone was hiding in the bushes. Gotta be careful doing that around Phoenix. Surprised he didn't know you were there...he normally knows when a horse is trespassing or leaving...mainly because of his hearing." she said rolling her eyes, "We learned to be quiet, so when the night came to leave we'd have a higher chance of succeeding..."
Solstice only smiled, "I can be sneaky. Especially when it comes to hiding. My dark coat blends in with the shadows and the night, so sometimes it can be hard to see me." she said happily before she looked over at Eclipsetess and Nature quietly giggling to herself, "She really caught you off guard Eclipsetess," she giggled before she welcomed Nature. Though she sighed as she looked back at the colt.
"He's been asleep since we got here.." Moon admitted her tone tired and painful. The other mares from Phoenix's herd had stayed somewhat close to Moon and her foal. Always there for each other, and they knew what Moon went through when she was forced to become his mate. Phoenix only cared about her beauty, but even then he harmed her just everyone else. Isis had stayed near them all too. Though she just got closer to the mares then everyone else did. She grew up with most of them anyway.
Moon did listen to Eclipsetess as she read a page from her book. Solstice had done the same. Neither of them had heard of it before, but they didn't question it. Solstice just watched Nature plant the flower as it instantly bloomed and started to glow. Both watched the little colt start to glow as Moon got a bit worried. She had hoped it would work, but she was afraid if it was too late or not.
Solstice had laid down closer to Moon and her foal then Eclipsetess did, but she just tried comforting her, "It'll work alright? He's a fighter to have lasted this long, but he won't have to fight any longer.." she said trying to make her feel better. Moon just nodded and tried to smile at least a little. Solstice then looked back over at Eclipsetess and Nature as the two started to talk again.
"You did what you had to Nature. You wanted your daughter to have a good life. That's what a good mother would do. Don't regret making that decision. Someone like Dra is more then likely to go mad no matter what you do. It wasn't your fault. You knew him differently then we did, but I'm sure he would have gone mad at some point.." she sighed before she checked on the colt again for a moment, but she was distracted.
Solstice then looked at Eclipsetess and Nature once more, "What about my dream..or dreams...whatever that was.." she asked unsure, "I had mine the same time Azulia had hers." All she knew was that something was going on from those dreams, and it seemed to bug her slightly. Though she seemed to get nervous when Nature said they had changed the future, "H-how bad did things change..? I still don't even know how the two of you time traveled into the past." At that point Solstice only seemed a bit curious about time travel.
Though she looked back at the colt seeing him gain weight and strength. She was relieved to see that the flower was working. Moon seemed to be a lot more then relieved. She hardly even noticed that she herself was glowing as the flower fattened her up as well. Moon was just always too focused on the colt to even notice her health state. She only smiled and seemed to cry happy tears as she placed her head over her foal like she was giving him a hug, "Thank you...thank you.." she said clearly more then thankful for what Nature had done.
Solstice smiled as felt relieved to see that the foal would be alright. He might of still needed some sleep, but he would be alright. Though she just stood off and indicated to Eclipsetess and Nature to give them some space for a bit. After that, Solstice just went over to Eclipsetess, "I know my brother went after you yesterday...let me guess you left him out there didn't you?" she laughed as she looked over seeing the stallion emerge from the trees.
Namir just yawned as he walked back to the herd overhearing a part of what his sister said, "You know I never got good sleep when I had to take care of you. Always waking me up at first light not letting me sleep any later then that, and keeping me up late. You weren't the easiest to raise." he said nipping her mane a bit. "I have every right to take advantage to sleep without someone waking me up." he said giving his sister a bit of a look.
She only rolled her eyes, "Well...foals have a mind of their own. I don't remember doing anything like that, but sounded like fun to make things hard for you." she smiled wishing she remembered it, but she only turned away and happily trotted around the herd thinking of something to do. She should have been reading those books, but Solstice couldn't help but to trot over to the foals. It'd been awhile since she played with them, and she really wanted to spend some time with them.

Raven looked up at Solstice first as Esmeray and Moonlight were second and third to looking up at Solstice, though Esmeray ran up to Solstice first as Raven was second and Moonlight third, Moonlight was always going to be third as she isn't that fast compared to her younger sibling and friend.
But Raven started bouncing from her hooves, making Esmeray and Moonlight curious of her when she started bouncing like crazy, but Moonlight joined in on the bouncing whilst her younger brother Esmeray sat back and hid behind Solstice while watching his bigger sister have fun with their friend.
Then Raven ran away from Moonlight but came back and jumped over her for fun, then the two began jumping while Esmeray stayed behind again, he didn't want to play whatever his sister and Raven where doing, though Raven jumped over Moonlight again but this time she fell and rolled over but got back up and trotted over to Solstice happily. Guess she doesn't care getting hurt when she did that.
But Esmeray and Moonlight were sniffing Raven when she fell after jumping over Moonlight, though Raven began trotting around Solstice with prime joy and happiness as she then ran around Solstice, Esmeray joined Raven but cantered around Raven happily and Moonlight joined in to trot as the other two galloped and cantered around Solstice.
Though Raven ran down the hill as Azulia watched, but Esmeray joined in, but Moonlight stood at the hill's edge and stared at the meadow below, she was watching her sibling and Raven have fun at the bottom, Azulia then went down the hill to pick up Raven and bring her back. Luckily Esmeray came with the two and went back to Trickster.
"Raven you can't go down the hill, you have no idea if there's gonna be a new herd there." Azulia told Raven, the young foal understood her mother's protection and stayed with her.
Trickster said the samething to Esmeray who nuzzled his mother this time, Moonlight just went over to Solstice so that she didn't feel scared or worried if that was the case.
Azulia was right though, a mare came out of the brush and began grazing happily, though a few other mares did the samething from coming out of the brush but there was no sign of a stallion for this herd, it was weird but Scorn got up from being with Grey Cloud as he trotted down towards the new herd with pure excitment as he seemed to have gone quick fast.
Eclipsetess just watched as she walked down the hill to follow Scorn, as Azulia went over to help Grey Cloud stand up and go to her mate without hesitation, Eclipsetess just waited for Grey Cloud to come down the hill but it was slow as she seemed to wanted to take it easy. So Eclipsetess teleported Azulia and Grey Cloud to her so that she could teleport them again this time to Scorn's side with Grey Cloud nuzzling him.
Trickster just hung back with the other mares, some of Scorn's mares seemed curious and slowly one by one followed each other down the hill in a coordinated action as Trickster told them too, the new herd in the meadow seemed wary of Scorn and his herd and acknowledged him and his big herd.
Scorn was looking for the lead mare as she charged at Scorn playfully, he seemed to have acted like a kid with this new lead mare that was quite different then the other mares in her herd, but Grey Cloud ordered Scorn over by her as the new mare followed and introduced Grey Cloud to the "Moonstar Herd", she seemed curious of the name of the herd.
"And what about your name? I need to know!" Grey Cloud said, Scorn nuzzled her to calm down as he was nuzzling her side when he felt a little kick happen.
"Her name is Mesa, the lead mare of the Moonstar herd and my childhood best friend, but we never did anything with each other except playing around like foals, we never felt a deeper connection other then being best friends, Mesa is supposed to nine since she's younger then me, surprisingly you can just guess my age!" Scorn said, he introduced Mesa as a respectful mare and best friend of Scorn.
"She's also very friendly, our herds would get along great! She's also very protective of my herd and her herd more, she loves both herds with equal affection, she was also supposed to have some foals in her herd but I guess their older now.." Scorn said, Mesa nipped him playfully as the two began playing again.
"Alright! Have fun! Just don't forget about your daughter and me! Plus your new foal soon!" Grey Cloud said, she turned around as Eclipsetess teleported up to the hill and teleported Grey Cloud and Azulia back up to Grey Cloud's spot.
"I honestly forgot Scorn had a best friend, she was the mare of a great ruler actually, not a king, but a Herdmaster someone who could forge two herds together to create a bigger bond between the two, sadly her passed away when he was forging two herds both didn't like each other, which ended up Mesa's father to be dead by Scorn's father since he used to rule this Isle with an iron but also kind fist.. I missed her father since he was a father figure to me, even though I had a better father he never paid attention to me, except mother showing me the only affection a mare could give." Grey Cloud told Eclipsetess and Azulia, Mesa was the mare to have came across peacefully no matter what.
"I'm just glad we have a newer but better herd to be friends with!" Azulia shouted a little, Eclipsetess nipped her for being loud around Grey Cloud.
"Haha yeah, Mesa was the one mare who refuses to be with a stallion, it was shown for being in the war and just in general since she commanded our troops better and trained them better, how else did you think we got our strength and speed from? Mesa was the one mare to train horses to be themselves with their speed and endurance, you'll be around a few mares in that herd who got their speed and stamina from Mesa's training in the war which resulted kids after the war to be very powerful from brute strength and speed by default. It was quite funny from Scorn who told his adventure to our herd." Grey Cloud told Azulia and Eclipsetess again, the two mares had to depart from Grey Cloud who said goodbye as she was happy to talk to her herd's members.
Though Mesa came up the hill with Scorn as his mares looked at Mesa with aggressive eyes, but Scorn told them to back down as they watched him and Mesa come up the hill happily, the new lead mare of the Moonstar herd was really beautiful in a way..
Scorn just admired Mesa's beautiful chestnut-bay-like coat, her brindle (two stripes can be shown to going after the chimera cloud), her chimera on her back cheekbone down to her barrel (stomach) with a circled chimera raining two raindrops to the chimera under it, a silver and flaxen mane, tail, and forelock, she has two pasterns on her far near left arm and her far near right leg, a sock on the near right arm and a stocking on the far back left leg.
But no one paid attention to Mesa's moon marking on her right hindquarter, until Gold pointed it out which she then looked at Solstice and the herd of mares looked at her as well, Mesa was just confused, she was a normal horse with a pretty cute moon marking which inspired Mesa's herd's name.
"I am quite confused, why do you all think my marking could be related to this beautiful seal bay black-like mare? All she has is a pretty cute golden moon cresent and I have a white cresent moon, but that only sparked my herd's name, I still don't get it why." Mesa said, she was more confused then Scorn's mares, but he only laughed and agreed with Mesa and Solstice on this one.

Whenever Solstice played with the three foals, she felt like one herself. It brought her joy, and it distracted her from her troubles. Though it did make her think about the small crown Faith had showed her. Only got her thinking about her future more, and if she was going to end up becoming a mother. Solstice was curious if Orion ever thought about that, but she'd have to ask him later.
Right now, Solstice just played with the foals and watched them. Solstice smiled and laughed as she watched Raven and Moonlight play around with each other while Esmeray just stood and watched from behind her, "Don't you want to play Esmeray? Or you just don't want to play with them because their girls?" she laughed before she nudged the colt a bit, "Don't worry. I'm sure Moon's colt would like to play with you later."
Though Solstice looked back over at the two fillies giggling, "Be careful you two. Don't want to hurt those long legs of yours," she said nuzzling them before they started to run around her. Solstice just happily spread out her wings a bit and flapped them light enough she stayed on the ground. When the two foals ran down the hill, Solstice was about to go get them, but Trickster and Azulia had beat her to it.
"We only got rid of Phoenix yesterday. Do you really think a herd could move in that quickly?" she asked Azulia before she looked down and nuzzled Moonlight in return, "Even if there was going to be a new herd moving in..I hope the stallion won't be anything like Phoenix." she said with a small snort, but she would be wrong. Way wrong. The herd that would be coming in shortly didn't even have a lead stallion.
Solstice looked over as some mares emerged from the brush, and she looked at Scorn confused to see him head down there so quickly. What got her more confused was how excited he seemed to be. Though Solstice decided to fly down instead of walking down like everyone else. She just decided to stay up in the air to get a better look at this new herd and it's lead mare. Namir had done the same, but he went and stood by Eclipsetess.
Solstice was silent as she listened to the words being said. She did look down when Orion managed to pull on her tail a bit. "Leave my tail alone you pesky stallion." she huffed quietly. Orion only chuckled a bit to himself before they both put their attention back on the new herd. "Well better then having someone like Phoenix," she said seeming happier that the stallion was gone. Hopefully for good.
Though Namir just turned around and started heading back up the hill when the others did. Orion did as well, but Solstice kept flying. She overheard a little bit of what Grey Cloud said, but hadn't really been paying attention. She just mainly watched Moon from a distance smiling, but she still gave them some space along with the other mares. They seemed to still respect Moon as their lead mare.
Solstice then looked down at Orion as he tried catching her attention. She just landed gracefully right beside him noticing everyone looking at her. "Uh...why is everyone looking at me?" she asked confused and a bit uncomfortable, but she then looked at Mesa. "That's not all I have. Yes I have a gold crescent moon below my horn, but I also have a black one on my rump." she said still confused, "I know nothing about them even if I am the new goddess of the moon."
She may have been the new goddess after Pandora, but she didn't really look like one. Solstice didn't wear any god like clothing or even jewelry other then her necklace. Which she didn't really mind that much. She was still getting used to things. Solstice did look over at Scorn, "I don't suppose you know? Seems like you might know something since you laughed." she said with a small smile.
Moon hardly even noticed what was going on in the distance, but she just rested for a bit longer. It was easier for her to do so knowing her colt would make it. Though she opened her eyes seeing the little guy had woken up and tried getting on his hooves. "Hmm...guess I'll have to figure out a name for you now.." she said nuzzling him happily before she got up and helped him up.
The colt was still a bit dirty, but Moon was able to clean him up with a easy spell she knew. "There you go. Now you won't have all that dirt weighing you down." she said softly admiring his little coat. His coat was a dark bay color, but he had a tobiano pattern like both of his patterns. Moon just smiled seeing the wings he had. She never noticed them before because of how small he was, and the dirt seemed to cover them up. Especially since he was too weak to move them.
Though the colt managed to stand on his own and spread out his brown wings, "You resemble your father...let's hope you don't turn out to be him," Moon sighed as some of the mares came closer. They were all happy, but Moon looked over seeing what was going on, but she just stayed put and nuzzled her colt. Nothing had ever made her so happy before other then her only foal being saved when she was close to giving up.
