Nothing Set in StoneMagnus/Birth/Open Posted on October 2, 2014 at 05:09:12 AM by Elexzra
Finally winter had lessened it's grip, but the bay was still freezing as ever. Also Elexzra grew doubtful that the foal had made it because honestly she couldn't feel it move anymore. So, she was expecting to birth a stillborn in a few days or sooner. Her mental state already ready to see a non moving foal. Even then Elexzra found comfort in the waves, growing to ignore the cold bite of the wind, but what was to come she couldn't be ready for in the least. A sudden hammer of pain had the woman thrashing her head in slight panic. Blue eyes jolted with fear to this new sensation. What the hell was going on?!
Then again the pain dug it's grip in her. Ow! Ow! Ow! She clenched her teeth as snorts of for ed air could be heard. Moving away from the waters edge she lowered herself to the soft sand. Hooves digging in deep as she tried to quiet herself. She was alone and vulnerable, if a predator were to come that'd be it. Still, she couldn't help the streaks that escaped her mouth. It certainly hurt and it finally clicked she was giving birth to her assumingly stillborn. What seemed like an eternity was done in mere long moments.
Oh how tired she was and her stomach felt a sudden relief of pressure, but what she heard was not that of stillness. Instead it was that of kicking and flailing, legs hitting sand. With shock the arabian swiveled her head in the direction behind her only to find a dark bundle of legs. In disbelief Elexzra bolted up ignoring her tiredness and stared in shock. It, it's alive! Her mind reveled in this fact, until, instinct set in. Lipping at the child Elexzra did her best to clean the new life. With utter gentleness she hadn't shown to any other loving being before.
It streaked and whined, neighed, cried, made a huge fuss. Showing it's strong spirit and a warmness fell over the usually cold woman. Ice blues darted across her daughter and then scanned the area. She needed to get up. Now. So, with little hesitation Elexzra put her muzzle at the side the child was laying on and began.gently pushing. Getting the foal on its wobbly legs only to see her fall. Giving a stern snort towards the foal Elexzra again coaxed her to stand and again she'd rise only to fall. Get up, get up, get up!
The feeling nagged at the black woman's mind as her darling stayed in the sand. Pushing her up once more she gave a sigh of relief when the filly stood up. Walking to the fillies side Elexzra used herself as a thing to lean against until the foal had a connection with her legs. After a few moments she found her way to Elexzra's teat and latched herself. The new feeling had Elexzra almost bolting forward in surprise, but she held her legs sturdily and looked back at her daughter. Almost an exact replica of the ice woman herself, just thicker boned and had obvious draftish features. However, she sported Elexzra's black pelt and both Magnus' plus her eye color.
Staying alert Elexzra couldn't help watching the land scape with a diligent eye. Replies:
