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.

Aileen-Dryad (Spanish Mustang)-34 (ageless; appears 8)-Smokey Cream Blanket Appaloosa-Mother to Melia (x Rhaego) and Andela(x Rhaego)-Forbidden Dale
Nothing changed. Once again, victimized. Cold once more. The world around Aileen was crumbling. It didn’t matter. 8 years old forever, never changing from that youthful appearance, no change… except everything else had seemed to. Her perception of the world and others in it had changed, spun, and shattered so many times, there was no point in trying to understand anything anymore. Everyone had moved on, yet she still seemed to be stuck.
Once again, she had been used, forced into something undesirable. It was shameful, Aileen tried to hide from everyone, and it seemed that she had… it was when the first signs that man’s seed had taken root that the once naive forest mare found herself panicking, even more anxious at showing her face than before. The obvious course of action was to hide and go paths that were rarely walked upon in winter exhaustion.
Once more, winter was a struggle, moreso than it usually was, seeing as she now had to find enough food to keep herself and her parasite satisfied, stay hidden from everyone as her belly grew, and cope with the psychological implications alone… but she had always been alone, technically. She was just a sort of odd mare to Rhaego, that was all. Nothing more than walking fertile ground, right?
The burden within her had been nothing but trouble from the start. The forest nymph was more than ready to be done with this. From the time that pest had been formed enough to kick, it had. Hard. As it kept growing, it had been cold from the inside, giving more tiredness and discomfort to the one who fugitive in her own home.
Pain had started to flare hours ago, the sun was still present back then. It had since set, leaving Aileen in the same state of mostly dark and cold that her innards and soul felt. It had been a while, this leech was more trouble than it was worth. She was sure she was going to black out several times, but through determination and some semblance of a miracle, she was still conscious through the whole thing.
The tawny mare of the forest knew that the crisp, white snow around her was now stained with her blood, she could smell it, she was sore, but she could already hear that the parasite she had held within her for so long was dead. Thank the gods for that one. Aileen stumbled to her hooves and started walking lethargically away from the body. The wolves would find it anyway. It wasn’t of any consequence, at least it was good for something. There would be no heartbroken farewells, no looking back, no fondness of the coupling. Nothing. It was a good thing for that girl that she had never taken a breath in this forsaken world.
