And that's what Minette did, she leaned against Nysa, she just needed the extra comfort from her cousin.. Even though Eclipsetess was smiling and looking at the two, it seemed like since yesterday that she and Solstice their foal/foals, but Eclipsetess was ready to help her daughter with her pregnancy now..
Though Eclipsetess nuzzled Namir, before she went into position, she was ready and that she asked everyone in the group, Eclipsetess asked the whole group if they were ready, and ready to help Minette with her foal.. Even though Eclipsetess could guess that her daughter and the mares were gonna say yes, even Nysa if she felt ready enough to help Minette..
"Alright, we'll start easy since its your first time doing this Minette.. And that we want to make sure that your foal is safe as well before we push through this, pun not intended.. Alright, ready Minette?" Eclipsetess asked her daughter, she even moved Minette into a bit more of a comfortable position and looked at the position before she told the other mares to do their work.. And Minette to do her work as well..
Though Eclipsetess took a step back since she looked at Moon within the group, letting her take over if she needed, and that the entire group of mares would also help out as well.. Being ready since they started and that Minette took it slow, before she started working harder each time..
And Eclipsetess was happy that she let all the other mares help out, even though Eclipsetess was the main mare to do the job, it seemed like she wanted everyone else to take part of the jobs.. What a nice thing to do for your family, friends, and herdmates.. Eclipsetess was the sweetest when she wanted everyone else to do something that they could gain experience from it..

Nysa was there for her cousin just like she said she would. Whenever she said something, she meant it. Always. She would never break a promise especially a promise she made with the ones she loves most. Her family. To think only years prior it was just Solstice and Namir, and now their family had grown so much. It wasn't just both of them anymore. Solstice got the family and the future she wanted..and in a way Dra was the reason for it.
Though Solstice just stayed put like she said she would despite how much she wanted to be with her niece. Orion was right though the herd mares would just usher her back to Orion as well as Namir, but she was the only that wasn't there. The only mare. Well excluding Althea. She wasn't even in the herd yet, but she was greatly worried about Diablo. She would always love him..no matter what.
Either way, as the little filly nursed, Solstice managed to graze for the first time in a long while since she had enough balance to do so. They were both getting the fuel and nutrients they both needed. Though Solstice was feeling more like herself as time passed which was a good thing considering just how miserable and even sick she was the day before. Even the filly seemed to have started to show some spunk as she nursed as her little black tail flicked back and forth.
Though Nysa kept her focus on Minette. Even if she thought about whether or not she would have a foal in the future, but she focused on her cousin more than anything. Namir though stood outside the huddled mares worried. By now he knew how protective the mares were with only allowing the father of the foal to be within the group. He was Minette's father, but not the foal's father. He did nuzzle Eclipsetess in return as it calmed some of his nerves. At least knowing the snake mare wasn't there at least not yet helped ease his worries as well since it seemed everything was going well for now.
Nysa did look up at her aunt giving a small nod as she focused on Minette making sure she stayed calm and at least as comfortable as she could be. It's a good thing she's Nature's apprentice since she knew a lot about healing and ways to manage pain. It was good for her to know, and she loved caring for little critters. Ever since she met a fox as a filly. Though while the mare's worked, Nysa just encouraged Minette and helped her in whatever way she needed to.
"You can do this Minette..I know you can. Just breathe. Take deep breaths." she said in a calm soft tone trying to comfort Minette and encourage her the best she could. Moon smiled as she watched Nysa for a moment already knowing she would be a good mother if she decided to become one. Though she did help like all the other mares just..not as much. With each day she was getting older, and it was starting to really take a toll on her. Especially since she always looked tired no matter how much she rested.

And Minette did what Nysa said, taking deep breaths, before slowly or hardly pushing, and that she also took tiny breaks before going back to breathing and pushing, sometimes adjusting herself a bit and other times just doing what she needed to do even if she was uncomfortable..
"She's doing wonderful with Nysa next to her.." Eclipsetess whispered, watching and looking, she was happy that her daughter was focused, and doing what needed to do with, even with nysa next to her side.. Helping her like a good cousin.. Which was an adorable but nice and sweet moment, that was filled with tension as well..
Though at one point Minette had to neigh from the pain, which made Eclipsetess worried before she trotted over to see how her daughter was holding up, and that Minette was happy that her mother, Nysa, and Moon were there.. Helping her through the labor and trials of a foal..
But Eclipsetess walked around, and went to see how the mares were doing to see the foal or not, which the mares saw little feet and legs sticking out, which they backed of course they had too for the foal, but Minette tried checking her foal out but Eclipsetess had obviously wanted Minette to go back to her job..
"I-yie yie, Minette, focus on your job at the hand. You'll see your foal when your all finished up. But just focus for right now." Eclipsetess told Minette, which her daughter frowned but went back to working with her breathing and pushing while the mares kept watching the foal.
Eclipsetess did eventually go lay down somewhere near, and began waiting to see if Minette would neigh again, but Minette didn't neigh at all, well some breathing and deep breaths that were all and besides the groaning and moaning of the pain but Minette managed through it. For Nysa and Eclipsetess..
Eclipsetess then realized that Minette is Nysa's cousin, which meant that Minette's foal would be the first cousin once removed, Eclipsetess was actually sad since she was planning on making a family tree, and that Eclipsetess couldn't have Minette's foal in since they are a first cousin once removed, which meant that they couldn't be in the family tree... But Eclipsetess was gonna work on a separate family tree for Minette's foal then! To have her foal continue with the family tree!
Though Eclipsetess didn't realize that Minette was done with her pregnancy, since a mare went up to Eclipsetess and nudged her, which got her attention and then Eclipsetess followed after the mare to see her daughter's foal, and that Eclipsetess was excited to see the foal and how it looks like..
(I'm gonna trail-end it there since I need to go and draw an art piece for the foal..)

After finally having the chance to graze, Solstice felt a lot better then she did before. Sure she was still tired and still a bit weak, but she finally had some energy. The little filly seemed to have gotten enough milk for the time being and took interest in a bug she noticed on a blade of grass. Though she seemed to have plenty of energy, but Solstice still kept her at her side until she fully recovered.
Orion smiled watching the little filly nuzzling her and even helping her balance some since she was still getting used to her long legs. Though Althea went back over where her and Diablo were shortly placed only now Diablo was gone. At least for now that is. Orion did nuzzle Solstice, "Lay down..at least for a little bit." he said softly. Solstice just sighed and looked over at Minette and the huddled mares before she gave a small nod and laid back down for the time being.
Though Nysa did glance over at her parents, even her new sister. She wanted to spend time with her even Esmeray, but she knew she was needed right where she was, and she knew Minette wanted her there. She made a promise after all. Nysa just did her part with encouraging Minette and helping her in whatever way she needed to. She would do the same thing when they were foals.
Moon helped occasionally but it seemed like most of the other mares already knew what to do. Instead she went and stood beside Eclipsetess overhearing what she whispered, "They are both just like their mothers. They will both always be there for another just like you and Solstice. You both raised them beautifully." she said in her usual motherly tone as she looked at Eclipsetess with a soft smile, "She is strong like her mother. They both are. She will be fine, and she's doing well." she added on.
Moon was right though. With everything she said. Minette was doing well for this being her first time. There seemed to be no complications. Though Nysa looked at Eclipsetess when she went back to Minette telling her to focus, "She's right Minette...you still have to push, but I'm not leaving your side anytime soon." she said before she nuzzled and nibbled on her mane a bit reassuring her.
Nysa tried distracting her from some of the pain by keeping her mind off of that part. Whether it was bringing up a couple memories from their foalhood or even a small joke or two. Well also encouraging her as long as she needed to. Namir was with Eclipsetess most of the time though or at least near where she was. It had yet hit him that he was about to become a grandfather.
After what seemed to be a lifetime, it was all over. Nysa let out a small quiet sigh of relief. Though her main focus was making sure Minette was alright before focusing on the new addition. The herd now had four foals. Two of which being twins and the other two being born less then 24 hours of each other. Though nobody knew what was going to happen once everyone realizes who the foal's father is..not even Nysa. Moon knew very well, but even she seemed nervous.
Though Solstice rested for awhile before she looked up where everyone else was. Seemed like things weren't as tense as they were just a little bit ago. Solstice just got back on her hooves a lot easier then last time, and she just couldn't stay back any longer. Orion knew he wasn't going to be able to stop her this time. Instead Solstice just softly guided the filly over to everyone, but she stay near Eclipsetess using her wing to keep the little filly close, "How is she?" she asked as Orion ended up following her.

"She's doing fine, and happy it seems like. Now I'm a grandmother, I don't know what to do now since I know Minette will do her best with her foal, I have a hunch and a good one this time!" Eclipsetess spoke up, she was quietly soft spoken before getting excited at her hunch, which was very usual of Eclipsetess.
Minette sighed before looking at her foal, the foal was like its mother: black coated, a horn, and wings. But the difference was that the foal had a golden eye and a pink eye, Minette also saw that the foal's horn was golden too, worry and fear grew inside Minette and she noticed that the foal had a feathered wing with white that goes to black.
Minette sighs before smiling as the foal had a cute little white mane and forelock, the little tail was white before dipping to blackness at the end, the foal's face marking was weird and different- like it was unexplainable to everyone, and the samething for the weird butt marking that goes down to the foal on the right hind quarter leg, the two front legs were white up until the shoulder blades.
Minette then noticed that little bat wing-like things were sticking out of the foal's two wings, the other feathered wing's end part was webbed at the feathered tips, dots were also on the foals facial marking at the end, kind like how Eclipsetess is dotted, but the dots on the foal stop and disappear.
Minette then looked at everyone around: most were astonished, some surprised, others were worried about how the foal was matching Minette, but it seemed like the foal wasn't really like the father at least, so only the ones that saw Asher can say that the foal looks similar to him. And that's what Minette is fearing about her foal.
"My little one..." Minette whispered, like she was afraid but it didn't show or sound in Minette's voice, instead she takes pride in her foal at least, she then tries to get up to nudge the foal, even though Minette is doing her best. She manages to get up as the foal seems asleep.
"My my, already a sleeping one." Minette giggled quietly, she then softly and gently nudged her little foal, and as the foal yawned: it looked up at Minette and saw their mother, the foal is excited as it tries to stand, and Minette is helping her foal balance. Which is the right thing to do, it seems like Minette got a little motherly instincts from the mares around, and Eclipsetess smiles at that.
The other mares around began celebrating a little bit with whinnies and nickerings, then the mares quietly leave as Minette is helping her foal up, and Eclipsetess doesn't move until Minette has gotten her foal to balance a little more, and that Eclipsetess smiles as Minette is letting her foal take her time... So sweet and loving!
Faith was coming down from the heavens, she was taking her time it seemed like, and she shakes something off before looking around the herd until she spotted Solstice, and that's when Faith ran over while gliding of course. The mare is just too eager to see the little filly Solstice has.
"Hello Solstice, and little one." Faith spoke quietly, like she is respecting that Solstice is still healing from the pregnancy, and that Faith slowly lowers her head to see the little filly better, and she seems intrigued and happy that Solstice has yet another foal. But Faith doesn't seem to mind.
"Not trying to be mean, but you'll will be automatically titled Birthmother of Demigods if you keep this up. But like I said: I'm not trying to be mean, in fact I'm impressed by your two daughters. Two demigods is a lot of power draining from a mare like you, I hope your resting weller when I'll see the filly grown up and see her. But that won't be for a little while it seems like." Faith told Solstice, she was still soft spoken and nice, trying to not sound mean and she was trying to sound happy, because the excitement, surprise, and curiousness are in her eyes, while worry and fear is evident as well.
Faith looks over at Minette and smiles at Minette's foal, Faith then whinnies in as a late celebrater before looking back at everyone else, Faith has done most of her part with greeting Solstice and seeing her new foal, and Faith brought out her wings and plucked a feather or two from her left and right wing.
"Something for the foal to use in case she has too much to magic to handle." Faith told Solstice, and the group somewhat, but Faith then gave Solstice two of Faith's own feathers, then Faith put the feaher into the little filly's hair: between the mane and the forelock.
Faith then went over to Nysa and put the other feather, in the same way she put the feather in for Solstice's little filly, and Faith then trotted back over to the group. Faith seemed to be happy at what she did, and that she loved to see if anything else happened, but it was quiet.
Esmeray was just sleeping, sometimes he got up to graze and walk around, other times he seemed to be looking at plants and being a little fascinated in them, Esmeray was just trying something new for once. And that didn't bother him at all, instead he seemed happy and giddy as he was also looking through the plants in some books that contained the ones Esmeray was looking at. At least he's taking a hobby it seems like!

Solstice smiled, "That's good to hear everything went well." she said softly as she looked over at Minette and her new foal as well as Nysa, "They really are just like us." she said before she looked at Eclipsetess, "Go back to the day I first met you, and none of us would have thought we'd be here. And to think your a grandma now." she said with a small laugh, "And my brother is a grandfather...I can already see the shock in his face." she laughed.
Namir looked at his sister as he did in fact have that shocked face he always seemed to have, "I'm a grandpa now...?" he said looking over at Minette and her new foal. Solstice only laughed. Namir gave her a look. Solstice knew how to get under his skin. How else was she going to spend her time as a filly? Plus Namir always made it easy. Namir just rolled his eyes and walked off a short ways. Classic Namir.
Solstice only gave him another look, "Oh Namir," she chuckled shaking her head before she looked down at her filly who started to nurse. The filly seemed to be doing better as well as her mother. Solstice nuzzled the filly continuing to keep her close. Just until she felt back to her old self which hopefully wouldn't be too much longer. "What am I going to name you?" she mumbled to herself before Orion nuzzled her and she returned the favor.
Though Nysa was still with Minette as she nuzzled Minette, "I knew you could do it Minette," she said happily before she got up on her hooves and helped Minette up if she needed it. Nysa then took a step back giving Minette some room. Though she couldn't help but admire the little one. Who couldn't not love a newborn foal? Nysa looked at the little one smiling, "You'll be a great mom Minette." she smiled.
Nysa though thought the foal looked familiar, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. For right now, Nysa tried not to worry about it as she gave Minette and her foal some room. She turned around and walked over to her parents and her little sister. Solstice nuzzled her as Nysa returned the gesture. "It's good to see you moving around mother. How are you feeling?" she asked. Nysa always cared about those close to her. Especially their well being.
Solstice smiled, "I'm doing just fine now Nysa. There's no need to worry about me anymore. I'll be fine by tomorrow." she said reassuring Nysa that she was fine. Though Solstice then looked over seeing Faith had decided to pay a visit. "Hello Faith. It's good to see you again." she said lowering her head slightly as the others had done the same. The little filly looked over at Faith and ventured over to her curiously.
"Well it seems someone is quite curious." Solstice said as Orion and Nysa nodded in agreement. Though Solstice only let out a small laugh at Faith's statement, "We'll have to see about that, but I'm lucky enough to have had this little one here. Even after the accident, but as always I have Eclipsetess to thank." she said with a thankful smile as she looked over at Eclipsetess.
Nysa stepped over to her mother and nuzzled her, "I'm not going to lose you again mother. I'll make sure it won't happen again." she said before nuzzling her sister, "And I'll keep her safe too. Make sure she doesn't get into trouble like I did." she said with a small grin. Orion just let out a small laugh and nuzzled her. "What? I caused problems every once in awhile. What else could you expect from a foal?"
Solstice just gave them both a look before looking at Faith once more, "Well I guess you could say they take after their mother." she said seeming to be proud of her two daughters. "And I have been resting. Everyone will make sure of that as always." she smiled looking at Nysa who gave her mother a look in return. Solstice then nuzzled her filly, "Though this one here has strong magic for a pegasus..everyone around her can feel it." she said almost seeming concerned about it.
Though Solstice watched Faith pluck a couple feathers from her wings and place one in between the filly's mane and forelock as well as the same with Nysa. Nysa lowered her head slightly and thanked Faith. The filly just reared a small bit and let out a whinny. Solstice smiled and nuzzled her, "Thank you Faith. For everything." she said with a smile before she looked over at Minette and her new foal. It was a reason to celebrate in the herd..not worry.
Nysa ended up looking over at Esmeray for a moment before she looked at her mother, "Any name ideas yet? We can't always call her little one." she said curiously. Though she was still really excited about being a big sister, and she meant it when she said she'd care for her. They were sisters after all. Though Nysa couldn't help but to look over at Esmeray again, but she awaited her mother's answer..

Minette was grazing, making sure her foal was next to her at all times- only because of some of the similarities that Minette wants to hide her foal from, even if everyone could see the similarities, but at least no one else knows yet. Which is considered a good thing after all.
Faith was grazing a little bit, it seemed like she decided to stay a little longer then what she normally stays for, but at least Faith could look at the herd in this moment, and keep it like this for however long she wants or needs it to last, but she does end up back to grazing, a comfortable mare that just looks like she's blending into the herd.
Minette's foal was nursing before the foal then stopped, and seemed to be curious of Minette, and what she did to get her mane to look so beautiful with the rainbow fades, but Minette nuzzled her foal and got her foal to go back to nursing while the moment was peaceful and comforting.
Eclipsetess was trying to play with her own two foals, but she ended up getting them to run and have fun, the twin foals enjoying their time and enjoying the comfort with their mother, which Eclipsetess returned the same comfort for her own two foals as well. Though Eclipsetess started to slow down and regain stamina, while she watched her foals try to out-gallop each other, Eclipsetess found it funny and adorable. But she started trotting over to them and the two foals noticed their mother walking over, which they got excited as the three nuzzled in happiness.
Esmeray was still documenting plants and even asking himself trivia questions, how he can handle himself talking to plants is beyond anyone, but at least he isn't bothering anyone that might not want to have company right now, which Esmeray was unaware of that for sure. But he didn't seem to mind it either..
Scorn was off looking through his magic for the first time that anyone saw him do that out in the open, which was also beyond Eclipsetess, since the older herd members always saw Scorn go to a secretive place and not out in the open. But it at least got some horses to be fascinated on how Scorn was interacting with his magic like this. But his eyes were dark red and starry as he seemed to be playing a game with his own magic, which looked like fun. But Scorn could also be looking at something else and trying to decipher the future from what he had acknowledged now.
Even sometimes other members would try to replicate the same level of magic Scorn was doing, but they would fail, so Scorn was somewhere in his magic and he was doing something, that was something else then what was being shown by the entire herds. Then again, Grey Cloud was sleeping and Scorn wanted to stay by her side, so he could just be playing a game that he made himself when he was bored.
Then Scorn stopped using his magic, and his became normal, he then went over by Grey Cloud and started laying next to her, so Scorn was doing something that was at the expense of costing him his energy. But it didn't look like anymore of much interest in some of the herd members that were watching, but the herd members went back to grazing away.

Solstice looked at Nysa before looking down at the little filly nuzzling her gently, "I just might." she said looking over the filly. With her buckskin coat and the star and snip on her face. One white sock on her back right leg. Her almost purely black wings. How could she not name the little filly after the sun. Solstice just smiled before she looked at Nysa and Orion, "I was thinking of the name Raja..." she said as she adjusted her wings a bit since she was still experiencing some pain every now and then.
Orion nuzzled Solstice, "I think it's perfect." he said with a smile before he nuzzled the filly, "Our little Raja." he said softly. Raja only let out a small whinny as she looked at her parents seeming to have plenty of energy. Solstice just smiled and nuzzled Raja before nuzzling Nysa as well. Nysa seemed to like the name as well. Though Orion looked at Solstice, "Don't be overdoing yourself now. You should still take it easy Solstice." he said still a bit worried about her, but it showed he cared.
Solstice just nuzzled him, "I know Orion. I just need to be up on my hooves for a while. There's no reason to worry about me anymore." she said reassuring him before she nipped and pulled on his forelock a bit. Oh how good it felt to feel like herself, but she couldn't help but to mess with him a bit. Orion only gave her a look before he nibbled on her mane. It was good to spent time together..as a family.
Though Nysa seemed a bit distracted by Minette and her new foal. The little one looked familiar in a way, but she just couldn't figure out why. Nysa hated to think about Asher. Let alone what she had to do to him in the end. She felt terrible about it..even if he was a monster and killed her mother. Though Nysa just put her focus back on her family and her sister spending some more time with them for the time being.
Moon on the other hoof was just standing off by herself. She was watching Minette from a bit of a distance away. She knew. She knew it all too well. The older mare just let out a sigh before she turned away and walked off to her normal resting spot. Moon didn't have the energy or strength like she used to as she spent most of her time resting and laying down. Apollo would watch her getting worried, but even if he wanted to deny it, he knew her time was coming.
Apollo even stayed by himself a lot because of it. Though Moon's once shiny deep blue tobiano coat wasn't the same as it used to be. Her coat wasn't as blue and you could see the exhaustion in her lighter blue eyes. Almost as if the more she aged, the more her color faded. Namir even noticed and was down because of it. She meant a lot to him. To his mother. Without her he wouldn't of been able to raise his sister.
Though Namir was standing by himself as he watched Eclipsetess and their two foals run around together. He smiled a bit before he looked around. So much had changed within the herd. New life, new members, but the possible loss of some. Sure the herd was happy to welcome the two new foals, but things just didn't feel like for some since Asher's death. Either way Namir still did his part. Watching out for the herd and being there for his family. Just like he always had.
Nysa eventually went over to Esmeray. She nuzzled him once she approached and laid her head on top of his back letting out a small sigh and closed her eyes for a moment. She was definitely tired after the past day or so, but she ignored it for the time being. "What are you up to?" she eventually asked him curious as to what he was doing. Nysa was also quite curious about everything. Ever since she was a foal.

Esmeray just smiled at Nysa, but he just enjoyed the company with her. "Reading, examining, guessing, about plants. Might as well try something new right?" Esmeray asked, though the first part of what he said was more like an answer, but what he said last was definately a question, but he didn't mind answering and asking at the same time.
Esmeray then looked at Nysa, before moving the book towards her, so that she could see what type of plants Esmeray was looking at in the book and the plants in front of the two, which is actually adorable and cute in all honesty! Even if Esmeray was doing- or well reading and doing something new for once or more.
Minette was grazing while also letting her foal wander, if Minette's foal wanted to wander a little bit, which if Minette wasn't paying attention and her foal was away from more then what she wanted her foal to do. Then she'd just call her little one over without a problem! Since Minette can tell that her foal would come back without being a little argumentive for being so young and new still.
And Eclipsetess was nearby Minette, since she wanted to document her daughter's foal- for an unknown reason that we know of right now, but Eclipsetess would probably know, still. Eclipsetess was just happy for Minette that she was being a good mother to her first foal...
Even some of the other horses that we've met before come sometimes to see the foals, but they would have to leave since they have other things to do, Nature was just the exception since she can be anywhere and everywhere, surprisingly she hasn't even been seen sometimes for a long period of time.
Which usually gets to Eclipsetess and the herd, since everyone is used to Nature being gone to either care for the critters, or cook/bake, but sometimes Nature has to go sometimes and is in a great panic when she hears something. Besides the titan that's usually (never or sometimes) mention but is just there, but even he is getting a panic from Nature, but at least Azulia isn't picking up on titan emotions: a good thing- no, a great thing since that means titans are more powerful then horses at least.
Anyways, though Faith never once saw Nature being out in the herd, which is surprising to her since she knew Nature as Pandora, but it makes sense that a goddess would go somewhere else: to either avoid something or she senses something that'll happen. But that mention of the war is getting to Eclipsetess's thoughts as well, but not usually since Eclipsetess is going here and there in some places.
But Nature actually jumps out of the brush, looking more like a different equid then what she normally looks like, which got everyone's attention since Nature jumped, fell, but quickly got up. And now: Nature looks like a unicorn surprisingly, though Faith ran over and was asking Nature questions, but Nature turns her head around to look somewhere behind her.
"Where's Nysa? I need to borrow her for a minute, I might also need Eclipsetess and Scorn as well." Nature asked Faith, Faith went surprised, before quickly nodding, and looking over to where Nysa was. Faith looked over as Eclipsetess was running over from where she put her twins inside the herd for the time being, and Scorn just landed down from jumping? It looks like it.
Nature looked at Eclipsetess as she seemed more worried, but Scorn was also worried, as the four then looked over at Nysa since Nature seemed to need her as well. Which was concerning if Nature needed two other powerful horses, and her own apprentice, to deal with whatever Nature needs to be done with their help.
Faith then backed up, before leaving. Faith was not wanted, and she respected that, since she went back to grazing in her spot that she was grazing in, before running over to Nature. Now Nature just waited for Nysa to come over, but Eclipsetess and Scorn were preparing for what Nature was either gonna tell or show the three in Nature's home, and little animal sanctuary.

Nysa smiled, "Sounds interesting," Nysa said as she looked at the book and the page he had opened before looking at the plants right in front of them. Though she just nibbled on his mane a bit, "Well it is good to try new things." she said. It felt good to spend some time with him again since she hadn't been able to be with him much the past couple of days. She used to worry about her mother and even Minette, but now she didn't need to. Now she got to relax, and she enjoyed it. As well as being with the stallion she loved, "Maybe later you can meet my new sister.." she said still excited about being a sister now.
Though Solstice just ended up stretching her wings some which gave her some more relief before she went over to her normal spot. Orion followed occasionally looking over at Althea whom was still standing by herself away from the herd. Though it seemed like she was resting for the time being. Solstice just ended up grazing some more before looking up at Orion then Althea, "Do you want to talk?" she asked knowing it was still hard for him and that he was adjusting.
Orion sighed, "No, not really. I'm just worried about my father. Sure he was rough when I was a colt, but not like yesterday. I just hope I don't see him again. I'm worried if he comes back he might do something to you, Nysa, or even Raja..." he said sounding concerned, but he just nuzzled Solstice, "Enough of that you still need to rest, and you know it. I'm just looking out for you."
Solstice didn't like seeing him like this. Well she never really had seen him like this, "If your father does try to do something then you know me and Nysa can handle ourselves, and I can protect Raja. Just like I help protect the herd and even the Isles in a way. Nothing will happen." she said reassuring him before she gave him a small look. Though he was right, and she knew it. Solstice just let out a sigh and laid down. Raja seemed to do the same as her mother as Solstice softly smiled and started grooming the filly.
Nysa was just enjoying spending time with Esmeray before she looked over seeing Nature and Faith approaching her. She already knew something was going on, and then she heard her name. Nysa let out a small sigh before she nuzzled Esmeray, "Nature needs me, but I don't know why..I'll be back later." she said nuzzling him again before she walked over to Nature, Eclipsetess, and Scorn as Faith walked away.
If Nature needed Eclipsetess and Scorn, she knew that something was going on which made her a bit nervous as she adjusted her wings. "What's going on? I'm assuming it's not good..." she said slightly mumbling the last bit. Though she just looked at her aunt for a moment before looking over at her family then Minette. Nysa only hoped it wasn't anything too terribly bad.
Though Solstice looked over at the four worried as well, but she just looked at Orion. He just nuzzled her reassuring her that it probably isn't much of anything. Solstice just looked around the herd seeing things had gone back to normal. Moon resting, Namir keeping watch, Apollo by himself. She just let out a small sigh before she closed her eyes for the time being as Orion watched over her and Raja.

Nature looked at Eclipsetess, Scorn, and Nysa. Nature then nodded before calming down some, to at least not sound like she's rambling on when she is panicked, and it also offers Nature to bring out her normal self when she is talking, even if she's still a little panicked.
"Good, now... You three will need to follow me, because I have something concerning to show you three to help me deal with. And you might be surprised too." Nature spoke, she then began walking to her home, while using her magic to lift up hanging branches that might cause Eclipsetess, Scorn, or Nysa to find a way around.
But as Nature kept walking, Eclipsetess sometimes moved or perked up her ears to find the source of the noise, but the noise got only louder and Nature began getting tense again, which wasn't a good thing considering that Nature was always either calm or worried about the little critters in her home.
"It also answers the question: on why the little critters around the forest was hurt previously, Nysa." Nature told Nysa, so Nature found the source and the creature that harmed the critters awhile back? Well that's surely interesting for sure, but Nature kept on walking forward, and she was nervously gulping and giggling since she didn't know on how the three would react.
But as Nature kept walking, she then stopped before continuing, Eclipsetess and Scorn looked around the place as it was Nature's home for sure. But the critters weren't around in nests, or eating. Then Eclipsetess noticed something as she got awed and frightened, Scorn looked at Eclipsetess before looking at what she was staring at.
Eclipsetess and Scorn were looking at a red, flaming, bull, quite a large one too. But the bull's horns were tied to a tree, and the bull kept pulling away but the rope didn't give way, and so, Nature nervously smiled as she looked at the bull before looking back Eclipsetess, Scorn, and Nysa. Nature obviously didn't know how to handle this situation.
"Is that.." Eclipsetess trailed off, she was still in awe and fright. "The Red Bull from the old legend that burned away?" Scorn whispered, he then looked at Nature with a scared expression, Nature looked at the big, red, flaming, bull before looking back at Scorn and giving him a nod.
"Yes it is, the Red Bull from the old legend that burned away before the war even started. I didn't know that it could be a real thing, we all thought as foals that it was an old legend. Well obviously Eclipsetess wasn't born yet, but still." Nature took a deep breath and sighed, she then looked at the Red Bull, she was scared and nervous. The Red Bull was only tasked on one thing: finding the white unicorn and bringing her back home to the others.
"You do realize that its a fae to look like The Red Bull? Even so, the Red Bull is still a pretty dangerous steer. With only one thing in mind. And everyone knows what it is, and we can't let it go into the wild." Scorn spoke, he then started to nibble Eclipsetess's mane and nuzzle her to comfort her and keep her calm, he, Nature and Eclipsetess did the samething with Nysa. Since she never knew what the Red Bull was, or even knew that it existed.
"This is a new threat for sure, I guess Fae's are more powerful hinting to that the Titan didn't sense this threat to our herd before..." Eclipsetess spoke up, she then looked at Nysa with a comforting smile, even if Eclipsetess was trying her best to remain calm with a very old and burned away legend in front of her.
"Well let's solve this threat, and see if this Red Bull is even a big threat." Scorn told the three mares, he then began walking up to the Red Bull- which Eclipsetess and Nature were protesting but couldn't go near the two males, but the bull looked at Scorn before getting up and rearing in an old fashioned cow way that looked silly.
Nature used her magic to pull Scorn back before he got pounded, which saved his life, and that the Red Bull was clearly looking for a unicorn that was mentioned in the old legend, though Scorn got defensive after realizing that he almost died. But he was still glad that he didn't die at all...

Nysa only got nervous as she looked at her aunt and Scorn. She gave a small nod as she followed Nature and the other two. She already knew where they were going since she was Nature's apprentice, but Scorn and Eclipsetess more then likely didn't know where they were going. Nysa knew this was something serious if Nature seemed a bit worried or even panicked, but she tried to keep calm and relaxed.
The closer the four of them got, there was a sound that they could all hear which only got louder. When they got to the bushes, Nysa only let out a small gulp nervous as to what could be making the sound. Nysa hesitantly followed as she was behind everyone, but she looked around seeing no little critters in their homes. Which she found odd until she laid eyes on the large beast..
Though Nysa then remembered all of the little critters that were injured a bit ago, "You mean like before...Asher..?" she hesitantly asked as she hesitated to even say the stallion's name. Although it was good to finally find out the reason for all of the injured animals, Nysa didn't know what to think of this odd creature once she laid eyes on it. Her wings even clenched to her sides. What was this thing?
Nysa couldn't take her eyes off of the large beast until she heard what her aunt had said, "Red bull? What's a bull? What legend are you talking about?" she asked started to blurt out questions. Though she always had questions. Nysa just looked at the bull as it's body was in flames, and yet it didn't seem to harm it. All it seemed to be doing was trying to get loose, but she still had no idea what was going on or even why she was needed.
Nyse then looked at Nature and the other two, "What legend? What war? What's going on?" she nervously asked. She didn't know about the war against horses and wolves. Nysa was still young, and had no idea on what the three of them were talking about. Even if she was a mare now, Nysa still felt like she didn't know as much as she should. Did her parent's know about what they were talking about?
Though Nysa just looked at Scorn as he spoke, "What goal?" she asked nervously. Though when they nuzzled and nibbled on her mane, Nysa calmed down a bit and relaxed. Which she needed. She only hoped that this strange bull wouldn't make it's way to the herd. Not with the newborn foals, or even everyone she cared for. Nysa just looked at her aunt and Nature before Scorn approached the bull first..
"What are we going to do?" she asked, but seconds after she did, Nature quickly pulled Scorn back before the bull hurt him. Nysa let out a sigh of relief. They didn't need to lose Scorn a second time, but Nysa just looked at the three of them, "Well..we have to make sure it doesn't harm anyone or get to the herd, but what about the flames?" she asked trying to think of their options.
Though Nysa just observed for a moment or two, "Maybe...I can try and get close to it..?" she nervously said, "I've had a way with animals since I was a filly...still not sure why though, but maybe it could work?" At this point Nysa didn't realize she was even talking out loud or even talking in general. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know anything, but why would she? She was still young.

"Are you sure Nysa? This is a very old legend- that even before we had the changes happen, before your aunt and mother and family was born, only your ancestors lived to burn the old legend's page. Mostly because no one had proof that the legend about the Red Bull was real. Logical reason was to burn it." Nature asked Nysa, she had doubt in her voice for once, and that Eclipsetess and Scorn could tell that Nysa might not be able to get close to the Red Bull, especially since its a burned away old legend, so it was way much wilder and older.
"But if your still gonna do it: I'll pull you away quickly, if the bull decides to rear up again, so we have your back Nysa!!" Nature perked up her personality instantly, she wanted Nysa to at least try and see if she could get near the bull, though Eclipsetess and Scorn prepared to shield and block the bull's attack if it decides too, and Nature would pull Nysa away so that she doesn't get hurt herself.
Though the Red Bull stopped tugging and pulling at the rope, as it noticed another horse, it was Nysa, and that it seemed like two other horses were behind her but on both spaced out sides, the bull then stopped its movement altogether. It's fiery tail flicking behind, and the red hooves being cloven shaped and on fire. The bull's horns were red but down curved and pointed up with sharpness at the ends.
"Careful Nysa..." Nature whispered, she noticed how the bull adjusted itself to start focusing on the mare in front of it, and that the bull seemed to look as the fire didn't die down, instead the fire kept going as if the bull was a real creature. Eclipsetess and Scorn kept watching as the bull looked at Nysa, fully focusing on her. It's eyes being white with dark circles to show that it had no eyes: just white sclera's that pierced through the soul.
Though as Nysa kept getting near and nearer the bull, Eclipsetess and Scorn shuffled behind to ensure that Nysa wouldn't get hurt by the fiery creature in front of them, the bull focused on Nysa, before lifting its massive head to look at another horse. Even Nature turned around to see who the new horse was, and what they could do.
Nature watched as a plain white white mare fell from the brush, the bull immediately roared up towards the sky, as Nature looked back at the red bull with scared eyes. (Slow paced/slow motion now) Eclipsetess and Scorn used their magic to make Nysa get out of the way, because the red bull reared up and broke the ropes that were tied on it's horn, as it began running towards the plain white mare that was a unicorn. Scorn used his chains as Nature got pulled out of the way, and she tried to grab the plain white unicorn mare...
(Continuing the imaginery slow motion) The plain white unicorn mare got up as the red bull came close to getting her, but she got moving quickly, Eclipsetess then looked up and began screaming for the mare to come back, Scorn looked up secondly as Nature looked and began crying for an unknown reason.
The herds and the Titan saw as the plain white unicorn mare began running, and soon the massive red bull came out as it threw some brush up with its snout, some trees being uprooted with the red bull's red horns (not on fire surprisingly, same for the snout) and snout, Grey Cloud got up, as Mesa and Buckwheat got to separating the three herds so that the red bull could chase the young plain white mare around...
(Ending slow motion now) As Eclipsetess and the other came from Nature's home, the four saw that the red bull trapped the pretty and beautiful young plain white mare, similar to Snow but she has a long and elegant white horn, Nature was relieved that the three herd leaders separated.
"Wait, why isn't the titan doing anything? Ain't he supposed to protect us from a threat like the Red Bull?" Eclipsetess asked, as she noticed that the titan was scared and confused on what was going on, everyone could relate on what was happening: one moment everything is normal, the next everyone is in shock and confusion.
"Fae's must be more powerful then a titan then, or he's just shocked/confused and doesn't know how to handle this situation. But it would be a great idea if he helped us four, Nysa go to your parents and make sure your sis isn't hurt or anything. Same for you Scorn: go check on your separated herd. And Eclipsetess come with me since the mare you assigned has your foal's well protected." Nature told Nysa, Nysa was the first important one, Scorn second, and Eclipsetess was still free. But Nature and Eclipsetess got to running over to where the big red bull was as the young plain white mare couldn't move as she was backed up against a tree.
"Let's hope that we're not dealing with a threat that's too powerful or anything, or else we'll be having a bad time, and I'm still healing from blasting magic out like that... Just saying." Eclipsetess spoke up, she was running alongside Nature as the two mares ran and ran, until they trotted up to the rear end of the bull as it's tail flicked and the end being fire. What a dangerous creature that's not causing too much destruction at least.

Nysa then came to the realization that she was indeed talking out loud. She just looked at the three before she looked at Nature trying not to look at the angry red bull, "No not really, but I have to try at least.." she said nervously. This wasn't anything like Asher. This was an old legend that somehow came to life. A large and angry bull covered in flames. Thankfully, the flames didn't seem to harm any of the plant life..for now at least.
At least knowing they had her back, made Nysa relax and calm down a bit. They always had her back, and she knew that, but sometimes she just needed a reminder. "At this point we should just think all legends are real.." she said in a bit of a mumble before she looked at everyone mainly her aunt, "Just...don't tell my mother I'm doing this.." she said nervously. She didn't want to even think about her mother's reaction if she found out, but she also didn't want to worry her since she was still recovering from her pregnancy since she was pretty sick for awhile.
Though Nysa was being as careful as she could be as she slowly started to walk up to the bull. Her wings clearly clenched to her sides as she did so. Nysa only took a step or two at a time trying to avoid eye contact with the bull. At least until the bull watched her every movement and seemed to calm down. Nysa just froze slightly when the bull made eye contact with her. Except it's eyes were pure white which didn't help Nysa much. Either way it seemed like things were going well since Nysa got closer to the bull then even Scorn did, but she got dangerously close.
That was when a new mare appeared out of nowhere causing mayhem soon afterwards. The bull seemed to put all of it's focus on this pure white mare, and within seconds, the ropes snapped as the red bull reared up. Nysa looked at the mare, and by the time she looked at the bull, it's hooves were already in the air. Everything happened so quickly, Nysa wasn't given a chance to react.
Thankfully, Eclipsetess and Scorn had managed to use their magic to pull her away before the bull's hooves pounded onto her. Though in the process, Nysa fell seeming to need a quick moment to realize everything that just happened and what was still happening. Though the white mare had already run off...towards the three herds. Nysa quickly got up on her hooves and flew up above the trees towards the herd's.
Solstice was still resting as Orion stood next to her caring and watching over Raja when he looked up seeing a strange pure white unicorn mare run out of the bushes right past the three of them. Solstice could sense something wasn't right as she woke up only for the red bull to throw some bushes and chase the white mare. Solstice scrambled up on her hooves and moved Raja out of the way before she too got out of the way. Luckily no one was harmed.
Nysa landed next to Eclipsetess and Nature listening in on the conversation. "But..I can help! You saw how the bull calmed down when I was approaching it.." she said though she knew they weren't giving her a choice. Instead Nysa just nodded and flew over to her family, "Are you guys alright?" she asked looking over her father, sister, and her mother. "Mom?"
Solstice was still a bit startled by what happened when Nysa flew over, "We're fine Nysa." she said using her wing to keep Raja beside her. The poor filly was shaking. Nysa just let out a sigh of relief, "Who is that mare, and what is that creature? What's going on?" Solstice asked before looking over Nysa, "You aren't hurt now are you?" she asked as it was clear her motherly instincts were kicking in.
Nysa reassured her that she was unharmed before explaining things to her. Though she still didn't know why the bull was so interested in this white mare. "I got to go help them.." Solstice said once Nysa told her everything she knew, "I know Eclipsetess's magic is still recovering, and they need the help they can get." Solstice said being her stubborn self again. At least it showed that she was more like herself again.
Though Nysa or Orion didn't agree, "Mom you need to stay with Raja, and you're still recovering yourself. You can't put yourself at risk like that with Raja, and I am not going to lose you a second time." Nysa said firmly, "I got close to it once, I can do it again." Nysa said before she took off in the air before her parents could say anything about it. Nysa then flew in between the mare and the bull keeping her wings spread out to keep the mare out of the bull's view.

The red bull backed up, its head cocking to the side and looking down at Nysa again, though Eclipsetess and Nature ran around to join up with Nysa, at least not to get trampled between the bull's hooves. Since bulls have cloven shaped hooves, like some unicorns have! But speaking of cloven hooves: the pure white mare backed up as well, keeping herself out of sight from the red bull.
But when the white mare noticed something, it felt like the red bull was staring right through Nysa, it felt terrifying to the mare, but she hid herself again. Even if she felt the white sclera's of the bull's eyes looking right through Nysa, like one of those terrifying memes with the black background and only two characters in the black abyss.
Then Eclipsetess and Nature backed up, to let Nysa try and walk to the bull again, though Nature nudged Eclipsetess as she raised her wings: almost covering the big opening to the forest, astonishing on how big the trees grew on Isle of Dreams, just an all awe and gorgeous sight to all.
Though Nature even used her vines magic to cover up the rest of the holes, between Eclipsetess's legs to where the forest could be seen, and anywhere else that Nature didn't notice before, which was nice of Nature to help her apprentice and her friend out to help keep the white mare hidden from the red bull.
Nature backed up, Eclipsetess frozen within her place, Nysa slowly but surely walking back up to the red bull again, and the white mare relaxing behind the vine wall that Nature made. Along with Eclipsetess helping as well: by staying in place and not moving, since Nysa could use the extra distraction if the red bull tried moving towards the white mare again...
But it seems like the red bull wasn't being intimadating to the white mare anymore, instead, it put all of its focus back onto Nysa once more. Though he (I had found out that the red bull is male) was curious as his head cocked to the side once more, his sclera's (since sclera is the white layer of your eye (I have researched so much for this particular red bull- some by accident)) looking at Nysa as he began watching her again, this time being an actual curious bull. Despite him being an intimadating creature of fire. But he just felt like he was being controlled instead, like how he acted before, it felt more like he was being controlled.
Eclipsetess looked at Nature, as the two looked at Nysa, before their eyes shifted over to the red bull, he had a towering height for sure. But the two mares were thankful that the red bull had his entire focus back on Nysa, like what she wanted to try again with him, even if it might not succeed but at least it would probably get the bull thinking about his decisions inside his head.
