With his club held high Posted on August 7, 2025 at 03:57:10 PM by Dagda
Seeing Amber like this was a new experience. She looks in shock as her eyes meet his, blood and liquid poured into the Forest floor. It was a sight he had never truly prepared himself for. He knew some things having been surrounded by mares all his life, but he just never thought all this happened. The scene was a lot to take it. Nerves bubble in his gut wondering if she was going to be okay and if that beautiful foal was going to make it.
He wants to check their breathing, but he doesn't dare get closer. Her voice comes out as a whisper as she acknowledges his presence. Good, at least she could still speak. Maybe that means she would be okay. As her eyes go back to the moving body at her side so does his own. He studies what he could of the newborn, their newborn, in awe.
Her head turns towards him so he gaze leaves the child to meet her gaze. Come, her soft voice gives him permission to come closer. For a moment he hesitates as his eyes return to the small child. He takes a deep breath, one that rattles a little bit with his emotions, and finally steps closer. His approach was slow and gentle with his nose low to meet the child just as Amber begins to pressure him to stand.
It wasn't his place to get in the middle of her motherly instincts especially when he had no clue what to do. His mother, grandmother, and even his aunt had never taught him what to do with a foal except to protect it. When he had met their babies they were already standing and thriving. His head rises as the colt stands with Amber's help. She was already a natural at this. As the handsome colt begins to suckle Amber turns his attention back to him.
"You are a natural," He whispers with a smile. He keeps his voice low to keep quiet in case talking bothers the foal from eating. Plus, she has kept her voice down so he was just following her lead. His muzzle reaches out to gently nuzzle her. "My beautiful teaghlach." It was a beautiful union and a beautiful family. He couldn't believe how shocking and magical this moment was all wrapped into one. Replies: There have been no replies.
