a wraith with an angel's body

A demon with a smile of gold

A week has passed since Jericho's death, confirming Shamwari's suspicion that the colt was sick. She felt incredibly embarrassed that she paraded that monstraisty around like something to be proud of, but now she knew a child of white was a death sentance. She wonders how it happened, if she really deserved it, but she assumes it was some defect in Jabari's family line. After all, she has birthed two perfectly healthy foals beforehand.

She raced out of the Prairie and returned to the Inlet where Warsaw greeted her return in a less than loving way. He noticed her swollen years, laughed at her story, and explained she was to head out to Paradise to reunite with Rougaru. Celestria was not pleases with her welcome home, especially that she was being sent off as soon as she got back. She refused to leave at first, but eventially Warsaw chased her off.

She was pissed at everyone. Jabari for his terrible baby making, her father at how he treated her as some toy, and Rougaru who had left her in the first place. She was forced to return to the stallion who had abandoned her shortly after planting his seed. Celestria arrives on the shore of Paradise with the innocent eyes of Sanibel watching her. It was early in the morning and the colt at her hooves was curled up asleep beside the mare.

Watching the little innocent child, her tweets began to burn with the milk she was unable to release. Jericho had not nursed since the first few days so by now Celestria was very uncomfortable and desperate for a foal to suck her dry or at least take some of this swelling down. Sanibel seema to sense danger so she sheilds her sleeping colt, but Celestria was a stronger mare. Celestria remembers seeing the mare in the Prairie briefly before she was stolen by Rouagru. She assumed the colt was Rougaru's and assumes he wouldn't mind if she took over the position of the colt's mother.

The two mares snap and kick at each other until Celestria drove Sanibel out to sea. "Go back home to your precious Shamwari, but your colt will stay here with me. You are no longer his mother." Sanibel does not leave without a fight, but she was quickly overpowered and escapes further into the ocean. Celestria waits until her sillhoutee is gone before turning towards the shore where the colt stays. She makes her way back with salt licking at her words, but their stink was nothing compared to the sting of her utters.

She walks towards the colt (who was probably frightened) and urges him to drink. "It is okay baby, take a drink. Mommy Celestria will take care of you now." She hums lowly to try and soothe the young boy. All she needed was some relief...
