It's a multi-color life Posted on February 7, 2021 at 05:38:00 AM by Chimeras
As the greeting softly heard of her ears is there; Chimeras smiles warmly. Those eyes of hers dashing from the mare to the child. Admiration and compassion in her eyes for the both of them. They were herdmates; they were family. That would never change and Chimeras wished so much that her companion come home. They were like sisters though; they had never spoken much till now. It didn't change the bond that a herd had though. They knew one another and saw them as family as it should be. A family member was stuck in a prison though and it felt so odd; so wrong to Chimeras.
"Hello Phoebe. It is a pleasure my dear." There is a smile on her lips again and that soft nose of hers gently meets the child's own. No hostility. Only kindness and love from Chimeras. She was a happy mare as long as you didn't harm those she cared about. Hostility from her was rare unless a real reason represented itself at some point. That is not now though.
It is then that Melisma spoke of the birth having been hard and that the stallions had not harmed her. There is a frown though that Melisma had suffered during birth of this gorgeous child. Melisma speaks of having to stay in the Falls until she has healed and Phoebe is strong enough to make the journey through the water. "I am sorry it was so rough for you. Had I been able to have been there for comfort and support, I would have." She offers in apology of sort and comfort now. Melisma should have been home for the birth; where those that loved her could protect and comfort her. Not in a strange place where the child would first see her mother and then; strangers all around. It didn't seem right at all but it was nothing they could change now. It had happened and it was.
"However long it takes; do not rush yourself Melisma. We want no harm to come of Phoebe and you." Of course not! Chimeras would not allow it. She would make the journeys here as much as she could with the mare and child until both could return. Chimeras was no stranger. Melisma was family and so was Phoebe. Family should stick up for one another and be there in times of need. Like now. Chimeras was making the effort. No more shadows. It was time they knew their kind sister.
"If need be, I will be here to help the both of you should it be needed. I will be here to check on you as often as I can. Your well being and that of hers are everything to us. To me." She murmurs warmly and then stretches her nose gently toward them both to softly bump their cheeks in care. Replies:
