Moonlight's foal

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Midnight stumbled into the small field, exhaustion already written across her face. She found a secluded place near the forest where she felt comfortable before stopping. She looked back, wanting Frost to be here with her. Another contraction hit her abruptly and her back and neck arched with pain. She braced herself and pushed, breathing hard. The contraction ended quickly, and left her panting and sweaty. She stood silent for a moment, knowing the next contraction would come soon.

Frost cantered in and stood slightly near Moolight slightly away.He had seen a birth before and they were not often pretty.He tried to comfort her putting his head on her neck.

(I have some names too...Badr means full moon, Theed...)

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Moonlight was comforted by his touch, looking up at him gratefully. another contraction hit her hard, and the others followed it quickly. It seemed like hours before the foal began to push it's way through. She pushed hard, panting and sweating. Her amber colored mane stuck thickly to her neck and her coat was dark and matted with sweat.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Moonlight was able to turn around and look at her newborn foal. She smiled weakly, laying beside her little one as she began to lick off the afterbirth that coated him. She looked up at Frost with bright eyes. "Look at him...." was all she could say, choked up with emotion and exhaustion.

((I'll look for some more names in a min, but what color do you think he should be? I was thinking bey or black....))

[White_Rider]

Frost smiled and nuzzled first his mate and then his colt in turn.
{He's beutiful}

(I think he should be chesnut)

[Rizpah||Midnight]

((ok, chestnut it is. Here's another name though, I like it....Azim. It means "defender." (its arabic) and I just found out that Malik means "Master". It's also arabic))

Moonlight nuzzled Frost back, and then her new colt. His coat was still wet and dark, but she could see a chestnut color coming through. Darker than her own, but gleaming amber. "He is beautiful..." Her face beamed with the pride of a new mother as she nuzzled her tiny colt affectionately.
"What shall we name him?" she asked Frost, looking up at him, all smiles. "I think something like....Azim....or Malik....." she said softly, her voice trailing off in thought.

[White_Rider]

Frost thought for a moment.A naem was an important thing.His thoughts flashed to his Nammy and that she had ahd no name and no dignity as well.
{I like both of those but one name I have liked for a long time is Badr.Badr means full moon in the Arabic lands.}
He took a step closer to his love.The foal was beautiful.

(who will play him?)

[Rizpah||Midnight]

((I'll play him if you want. How do you pronounce Badr?))

Moonlight nodded thoughtfully. She also thought that a name was very important, and it's meaning even more so.
"Azim means "defender"...." she said softly, personally partial to that name. She tested out the names softly, "Badr....Azim....".
She lowered her gaze to the colt beside her, his dark chestnut sides heaving slowly with his breathing. "what do you think, little one?" she said softly, fondling the little body close to her own. She stood slowly, watching him as he squirmed at her movement. He let out a light nicker in protest, and began trying to stand himself. She smiled down at him warmly as he stumbled, wobbly and shakily, to his feet. When he had found his footing, she moved closer so he could nurse.

[White_Rider]

Frost watched as the young one tried to stand.Defender...He was the defender of their herd now but when he grew to old the young one would take charge.
{Let us call him Azim...}

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Moonlight smiled at Frost. She looked back down at little Azim, now nursing hungrily. "Azim...." she sighed contentedly.
After a few more hours, Moonlight was ready to return home. Azim was fed and more stable on his feet and she was ready for a nap. She looked up at Frost sweetly. "Lets go home." She said, her voice tired and quiet.

[White_Rider]

Let's he said and headed for spring senstaitonds.
