Rizpah's time

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Rizpah walked laboriously into the small clearing, her expression laced with pain. She quickly found a secluded place in a small, sparce wood that satisfied her. Laying down carefully, she prepared herself.

This is it...I'm going to be a mother.

The contractions were coming slowly and evenly for now, she could almost anticipate each one before it came. Her breathing was short and labored as the contractions grew stronger and closer together. She breathed hard and heavily between them.
She called out in a sharp, stressed tone for Fyerstrike. She wanted him with her.

The next two hours seemed like an eternity to Rizpah. Her body was soaked in sweat and her muscles were sore and tired. It was blessed relief when a tiny foal finally landed on the grass, covered in afterbirth and ever so small. Rizpah turned and began cleaning the tiny one.

A colt... she thought, a proud smile on her tired face. She had barely gotten him clean when another contraction hit.

What's this??

Another long and difficult labor ensued, but at the end, another newborn lay at her feet. She hardly had the strength to lift her head and clean the second.
Once they were both clean, two beautiful colts, Rizpah's head dropped to the ground once more, laying in exhaustion for a time.

((I hope you dont mind that I made them both colts, we can change it if you want.....))

[.::Magical::.]

Her mate 3 beated around the foliage towards her, and noticed the kin. Fyerstrike quickly went to her side and nuzzled her dial, in hope that nothing was wrong.

"Rizpah....Rizpah...." he said quietly. It looked like she had passed out, or was at least asleep.

ooc: no its fine, if you want you can change one but I'm okay with it.

Rizpah lifted her head when she felt his touch. She smiled up at him wearily, then looked down at the two foals who were curled up at her side.

"Look." She said softly, "Two sons..." A bit of pride filled her whispered voice as she looked down at her two little ones. She had not only given him a son, but two sons.

One of the two stirred, lifting his head awkwardly, his neck shaking with the effort. His eyes were bright and curious even now as they cleared from the glaze of new birth. The second also brought his head up slowly, looking intently at his father who stood closeby.

||ooc: ok...if you pick your favorite from your list, and I pick my favorite from mine, we could each name one. (with eachother's aproval of course.) I like either Xavier or Excalibur for my favorite. You can pick which one of the two if you like.||

Rizpah rose slowly, her muscles sore and tired. She was stiff and worn out, but the colts needed to eat. She got to her feet and smiled weakly, though her eyes glowed. The two little ones looked up at her, then began to struggle to their feet. The first fell once, but got up easily on his wobbly legs after that. The second, however, had a bit more trouble, but eventually he was up too.
They drank their first meal eagerly, quickly developing a taste for the sweet milk.
Rizpah turned to Fyerstrike. "What shall we name them?" she asked, her voice soft. "I like Xavier for one of them...or maybe Jehu or something. what do you think, my love?"

((RPing them deciding....))

[.::Magical::.]

ooc: From mine i like Chronical or Eragon, and from you of the two I like Excalibur. if we name one Chronical and it's white, I have a great pic for him...: )

"How about Excalibur Sword? And the other could be The Spear of King Arthur, or Chronical or Eragon or something." he said happily.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

||ooc: you know what's ironic? the name Eragon is pronounced the same as my last name, just spelled different. let's do Excalibur and Eragon. One should be white and the other...you can choose. You can choose which will be what too.||

"I like Excalibur and Eragon." she said in tired tones. Her eyes roved over her two newborns with pride and joy even through her exhaustion.

[.::Magical::.]

ooc: eragon white and excalibur maybe blood bay?

Fyerstrikes dial hung low, the swift yet gentle breeze tossing his chestnut locks. His muzzle wuffled and sniffed the foals (kind of like real life), taking in the wonderful scent of newborns.

Looking deep into the eyes of his mate, kissers parted to reaveal ivories, emitting words.

"They will make fine stags, when of age."

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Rizpah nodded happily at her mate and then looked down at her two foals. She layed back down stiffly, feeling herself drift in and out of conciousness. She was tired. She took a few licks on each foal, cleaning their tiny heads before drifting off to sleep. Her golden sides rising and falling slowly.

The tiny foals squirmed for a moment, but quickly fell aslep beside their mother. Eragon's white hide gleaming as his fuzzy coat rose and fell with his breathing, and Excalibur's crimson bey coat, equally fuzzy, shivered for a moment before he too fell under the spell of sleep.

||I'll play one and you can play the other, or one of us can play both, either way. what do you want?||

[.::Magical::.]

ooc: Eragon, because I play a horse named Excalibur Sword on another site...*my site*

[.::Magical::.]

The stag was eager to go back to his terra, as recently he had aquired a new mare by the blessing of Dreamcatcher. He tossed his mane, hoping to not upset anything.

"I must be going, m'love. When you are ready, come back to the forest." he nuzzled her, and with that the stallion cantered swiftly off to Silver Forest.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Rizpah nodded to Fyerstrike and watched him canter off.

She slept for a short time, and upon awakening, she rose to nurse the two young broncs by her side. They ate ravenously, but breifly. After they had finished, she stretched her sore body, cleaned their fuzzy little hides and set off at a stiff trot towards home, making sure the little ones followed closely. Their stumbling, clumsy steps slowly became more sure and steady as they moved on at an even, easy pace.
