In the shadows of two of the tallest peaks in the mountain range, rests the land known as the Forbidden Dale. The forested path that winds down out of the mountains is steep and treacherous to those who do not know it's dangers. The mountains meld into rolling foothills - filled with broad gentle slopes, long narrow ridges, and miniature valleys. Vegetation of all sorts is abundant and the runoff of all the surrounding hills funnels into a long, narrow lake in one of the largest valleys. Beyond the undulating and green foothills resides a dark and deep forest; the trees are so dense that it is dim even in the light of day.

shame on me.


So apparently trying to stand so soon wasn't quite the wisest idea, just yet. The newborn filly scrambled where she landed in a heap of unruly legs that wouldn't cooperate with her just yet. She rolled slightly, landing back into a laying position and gazed up at Siria with the most perplexed expression when the golden mare gently chided her in a soft voice. It was less the words but more the tone that seemed to baffle the youngster and muddle with the idea that she had in her head. Was she not mother? For a moment, the little dun was still and silent, her young mind struggling at first to comprehend the question. If the golden mare was not mother then who was?

Swiveling her tiny head around, the filly blinked at her surroundings in search of something to perhaps help her make sense of this vast new world. Her attention flitted about, never resting on any one thing long until she came to the unmoving form of Silia behind her and with a start she noticed that the mare was nearly the same color. She looks like me! The thought came instantly, quickly followed by confusion. If she was mother, then why was she not licking her clean like Siria was.

The youth barely has a chance to contemplate that when the cries of another nearby mare startle her and she turns to watch the blue roan move towards them. Tensing, long legs brace themselves outward again as if in preparation to jump to her feet, but at the same time seeming uncertain what to do. Siria's absence was not noticed until the large roan mare was upon her and the foal blinked at her in uncertainty until she realized what her intentions were as she too began to finish licking her clean. Relaxing for only a moment, the bay dun decided once again that she was ready to try standing. She fumbled clumsily the first time, failing entirely before determinedly trying again. It was a success though she wobbled and swayed fiercely, but she was on her feet. Now just to figure out how to walk around like her aunts without losing her balance.

About to experiment with her first actual steps, the filly was distracted by the sound of heavy footfalls and the rustling of underbrush, just a short distance away. Raising her head and flipping oversize fuzzy ears, she was greeted with the sight of another horse standing and watching all of them that were within sight. The horse, or rather stallion, was broad and built like a tank with a brilliant copper color that mimicked both her own color and Silia's. Blinking in wonder, she stayed in place, watching in curiosity as Rhaego moved towards Silia with very intent and sober look upon his face. He studied the unconscious mare with what seemed to be a note of frustration and despair... casting an unreadable glance to Sidia, her father nudged firmly at Silia and paused for a reaction, gravelly voice breaking the silence with once more glance up. "A healer... She needs a healer." Normally the thought would not be one of the first to cross his mind, but tonight was different. He had to ensure all three of the sisters were well. "Does anyone else need healing?" The stallion's eyes flicked over the scene, lingering momentarily upon the gangly bay dun filly who was concentrating intensely as she took her first unsteady steps, tottering unsteadily to lean just barely against Sidia's chest, and watching her father with blatant curiosity.
