Mage

filly - gnome x acalia - newborn - paradise

Her first child had come silently in the night. The birth was uneventful except for it being her first experience. The labor was painful, but the child was healthy. Her beautiful filly, she named Mage, was a smoky grulla with a spotted blanket covering her hind end. Her nose had a large snip that covered most of her nose and traveled a little ways up her snout. Three white socks mark her legs and her eyes were a unique blueish green.

The new mother keeps the child tucked away in the jungle until she has had a couple days learning how to be a mother. Once she felt ready, Acalia finally comes out to the public.

(Almost a week later)

"Chase! Chase!" The small voice of the dark filly fills the air. The tiny girl laughs and runs as her ivory mother chases after her. The two were in their own little world and have been for the last week. Mage has lived without a single interaction from anyone but her mother. She had seen others in the distance, but she was too shy to greet them and mother never encouraged her to do so. Acalia was fully enjoying the time she had left with her little one as her sole parent. Of course, she knew the filly would need to meet her father eventually.

Bursting out of the jungle, Mage races towards the beach with her mother hot on her tail. The two laughed loudly as they ran, but suddenly Mage stops. Acalia nearly runs in the back of her child as she veers to the right to avoid her. The mare's steps slow as he comes back to stand at her daughter. "What do you see?" She asks as she follows her daughter's fixed gaze to the colt up ahead. Mage watches with wide eyes as the frantic colt tries to shake off some creature holding onto his tail.

The filly was too afraid to get much closer, but her mother trots over to the golden newborn. With a chuckle she attempts to settle him down. "Hold still or I can't help you," she says in soothing tones once she is close to the colt. Mage slowly inches towards them, but stay out of reach of the colt and the mysterious creature attacking him.
