Re: Burn (Mature, any one can join)

(How long? I need to know for Apollo's aging so its accurate.)

[Stormsong]

(A few days. )

[Guest]

I was shocked. I bowed my head down and I was so angry that the baby died that I ran off. I bucked trees bleeding every time I moved from getting hurt. I ran till I couldn't take another step, I collapsed

[Stormsong]

Terra collasped back on the ground. "No...... NO!" She kept licking and nudging her baby. "My baby.... My Baby!" She stood up and reared. "This can't be true!"

[Guest]

I woke with the tearing of my leg. I lifted my head and looked to see a wolf, I bucked but not being able to as I was too tired

[Stormsong]

(You do realize that no one is going to be able to help you right? Ruby is watching over her foal and Terra is morning the loss of hers. )

[Guest]

Ruby stood near by silent, the first time she had seen something brought into the world...and it was dead! She walked up to Terra and started grooming her gently in attempt to comfort her, "I'm so so so sorry Terra." She said in a soothing voice and Nuzzled her lovingly.

Apollo ran up after the birth, Ruby wouldn't let him watch, he looked excited but froze. "W-whats wrong with her?" He asked calling the genderless foal a her. Ruby tolled him to go play by the creek quickly.

[Stormsong]

Terra lowered her head and nibbled on her baby's flank. "Why didn't she wake up?" she asked. "Why didn't she take a breath?"

[Guest]

(I know)

I kicked at the wolf, I heard howling in the distance and heard this one howl back. I didn't care, I was done with life, I lost so much already I just didn't have the life in me to fight any longer, I'd miss them.

I walked through the forest, my large hooves making large indentations in the soft soil. I saw a young foal playing in the water, I sniffed

[Guest]

"Its called a stillbirth, like a miscarriage, but it happens during a normal birth. A stillbirth is a foal born dead in which something went wrong in the belly. A miscarriage is when the foal dies in the belly much earlier or the made can not support it and isn't to far a long usually, the mare's body forces a birthing." Ruby said hoping she got it right, "I think." She said still nuzzling her, "My mother told me it is common for something to go wrong on first birthings, the next should live." She said trying to help.

Apollo stood by the creek splashing a hoof in and out of it worriedly. He couldn't have fun right now, he didn't like this. He looked back at Ruby and Terra and the other foal, he frowned confused.


(Wait is Ash going to die?)

[Guest]

(Yes, his older son comes into the picture)

Chua
I trotted to the foal,"Whats got you to frown foal." I said gently bumping him with my nose

[Stormsong]

"What do I do? I can't just leave her here," she nudged her baby. "I don't understad what I did wrong."

[Guest]

I took a drink of water and swished my tail from side to side as I raised my head up a little as water dribbled down my chin and to the ground, "Where's you siblings or parents kid?" I asked looking to him

[Guest]

Apollo looked up, "Something is wrong with her." He said looking at him gloomy, he turned his head to point.

"Nothing, it happens though. Where do you want bury her? I'll gather the twigs, grass, flowers, and rocks." She said starting to gather all the items. She saved the rocks for last finding some and rolling them over with her muzzle gently.

[Stormsong]

Terra stared at her baby for a long moment. "We'll bury her where she lay." She lifted her head and sarted to paw the ground.

[Guest]

I looked to where the foal pointed and headed that way,"If you stay here that mountain lion will get you so I suggest you come with me to your family member." I said snorting

[Guest]

"OK" Ruby started to form a circle around her with rocks then laid on branches and scraped up some mud using her mouth to put it on. After twenty minutes it was pilled up, she smoothed it and rolled some more rocks on to ensure nothing could get in and eat the dead foal. Next she laid the dry grass on top covering it all, "Now to decorate." She said moving away so she could put the flowers where ever she wanted.

[Guest]

I came to where the mares were and whinnied,"I suggest you keep a watch on that foal or it'll get eaten." I said moving closer

[Stormsong]

Terra pinned her ears and bolted up to the stallion. "Stay back," she warned and pawed the ground.

[Guest]

"My father sent me." I said pinning my ears back and being aggressive if she would be

[Guest]

Ruby's ear pinned, "For your information we are burying a foal here so please bug off. Apollo is fine, he would scream if he needed help." She said sassily. Ash's breeding with her wasn't successful and she was still in heat so she pinned her tail. "I'll be right back." She said and trotted off to take care of the urge to pee. Once done she cantered back, "Still here?" She said and snorted, "Terra where do you think Ash is? You don't think somethings wrong? I mean wolves were howling."

[Guest]

"He's dead I'm afraid, he told me to take care of Terra, Ruby, and an Apollo." I said giving them there grieving space as I ate grass and scratched my face on my leg

[Guest]

Ruby was a little shocked and confused, she trotted up to beside him and asked, "W-what happened to him?" Quietly looking terrified. Her mate, though not by choice, was dead and she felt upset. "Why is everyone dying?" She asked the grass not really caring if she got a reply from anyone.

[Stormsong]

"Dead?" Terra breathed. "What happened to him?"

[Guest]

"Got attacked by wolves after he ran off from finding out his foal was dead. He asked me to take care of you three no matter what I had to do to do that, I keep my promises to my father. I am no forcer so you don't have to be scared of me." I said looking back at them
