One Hour On « Thread Started on Sept 13, 2008, 12:36pm »
Rhythm and Archina had reached the bottom of the mountain and were waiting in the meadow. It sure felt a lot warmer, and there was sweet grass to chew, but it wasn't long before Rhythm was screeching in pain once more. She fell to the floor, screeching and howling and barking, writhing at Archina's feet. Sweat broke out over Archina's forehead; he knew this was it. "Please, please don't let them die," he whispered, worrying for his mate and un-born foal. "Please don't."
An hour later, Rhythm was panting at his side-he had decided to lie down beside her-and they were both, proudly, watching a stormy-grey coloured foal with a large white patch over his flank, one running down his neck, four white socks and a white blaze, totter around in front of them. "We'll call him Toru," Rhythm whispered proudly, nuzzling Archina and laughing as the foal toppled over, landing splayed out in front of her. She stood up to let him suckle and knew this was the happiest she had ever been.

Paine watched from the shadows, so the little brat had been born then. It would not last long, she would see to that. How happy they looked, pathetic, she would find her moment, and then strike. Actually, maybe she did not need to strike. There would be some carnivores around, she could attract attention. Now that would be funny, seeing the carnivores rip apart the foal in front of the parents.
As she continued to think about what she could do, she stepped out from the shadows. The mare was heading away from the summit for a while anyway, but she had deliberately chosen this route.
Well, look what we have here! I'll keep my senses aware for any carnivores that pass by here, I'm sure your foal will make a lovely meal for them. the Appaloosa said as she walked past the new family. She did not care if they retaliated, she had better things to do.

"Haha, funny, Paine," Rhythm laughed. She genuinely found it amusing; how pathetic the mare was, living from other horses' suffering, yet how tough she seemed to think she was because of it. Archina understood and joined in with his mate's laughter, his Brindle coat gleaming with health, his joyfully proud smile still etched across his face. "Toru," he whispered, sounding the name out in his head as he gazed upon the colt, who was rather tall and muscular for his age. "Yes, he suits Toru." He nuzzled Rhythm, who nuzzled back, and called to the foal. "Come, Toru," she said happily. "We must find a home...somewhere to stay before we claim this land." She said, and Toru obeyed, trotting to her heels.
Suddenly, two silhouettes appeared in the distance. They were clearly horses, and Rhythm thought she recognised those shapes. She turned to Archina, who had the same look of shock and horror on his face. "You don't think...?" she whispered. He nodded, sweating, and then galloped forwards in joy, bucking and rearing as he went. Rhythm followed a little slower; giving time for Toru to keep up. "Come, Toru, come!" she called, encouraging her foal as she went. He was at her side, surprisingly fast and graceful, and they had soon reached the figures, who were racing to them a lot faster than Rhythm and Toru were. Archina reached them first, whickering happily, and when Rhythm caught up, she was laughing so hard she couldn't stop. "It really is you!" she laughed, leaning into her best friend Aaniya's side, having difficulty breathing. River-Song, her other best friend, nuzzled her happily. "Perhaps, if we don't claim the land...we will be able to stick together. I've always liked the idea of wandering..." Archina smiled vaguely, but joy was making his eyes glitter. "So this is the foal?" River-Song and Aaniya said in unison, deliberately changing the subject. "His name is Toru, I gather?" River-Song asked, then continued at Rhythm's confused look. "I heard you shouting." She explained, before catching sight of Paine, who appeared as though she was watching. "Who is that?" Aaniya said as she too spotted the Appaloosa mare. She stifled her laughter. "Ah, she looks a happy soul." Rhythm and Archina laughed. "She's Paine." Archina replied. "And you guessed right. I've never met a happier horse, personally." He said, a hint of sarcasm to his tone. "She wanted me dead!" Toru piped up, in a loud, high pitched voice, and the adults laughed, turning away from Paine at last as Aaniya and River-Song made cooeing comments about how sweet and cute Toru was...

~No spammin'! It is very annoying. (Stretching words out like putting G in one post, O in another, and so on, is considered spamming AND flooding)
~No flooding. Who wants the c-box to be filled with junk?!
~Follow the main rules, but please don't post in third person or RP in the c-box. You SHOULD post in first. (Duh)
