The thorn daughter was glad to be home, but she had found her captor to be interesting. Vanya gave some insights to a whole new world. It had shown Devi there was more life out there than the world she knew here on Tinuvel. It also showed Devi that she loved her family despite their flaws. Being back felt amazing. It was nice to see her mother’s smile again to see her gain victory over Vanya. It had been a little awkward to explain the reason she returned so heavy in foal. Heck, their bellies nearly matched!

Junco was born over a week ago so she was beginning to wonder when her own baby would come. She felt as big as the ocean trying to waddle around the Inlet to find the best tasting grass. Thankfully, spring had left Tinuvel plenty of grass for her to eat. With only her mother pregnant, there was plenty for the two of them to feast. Parvati was still eating a lot to feed her new little brother, but she was able to find her own secret stash where her mother did not usually frequent. This is where she was when the pain started. Her eyes nearly pop out of its socket as the pain suddenly intensifies. Devi thinks maybe something was wrong as her mouth gaps open and unchewed grass falls out.

Something had to be wrong. How could giving birth hurt this much? In the most dramatic way, she begins whimpering and limping back and forth. Before she knew it the pain was so intense, she was running just to distract herself. Somehow standing still felt so much worse. At some point she made it all the way to the edge of the Inlet before she started pacing back and forth again. By this point the pain was so intense that her body urged her to being pushing. She listens to the call of nature until the finally finally vanishes with the passing of the child.

So, she births her child right there on the beach so that one of the first things she would see was the sea. The same sea she stared at as the intense pain made her scream just minutes before. Devi stands in shock for a good couple seconds before the slightly movement of her newborn brings her attention back to reality. Devi cleans off her beautiful first born daughter, revealing her dark classic champagne coat and that blanket that reminds Devi who the girl’s father was.
