*He watched her breath slowly and very shallow. He wanted to make her feel better, but did not know how. And then he thought of a way to make everyone happy in this situation. " I will make you a deal duchess, when the foal is born, you can stay with it as its mother, or i will care for it and you can go" he said with a soft voice. "but the only thing is.. it will never know its mother, and i will raise it the way i wish" This was an attempt to get her to stay once the foal was born. He wanted a heir so badly it killed him. But he also wanted her to stay. He hated the fact that she might leave, and he hated himself for treating her so badly. He was only offring her this option out of the goodness of his heart. He realized then that she was exausted and needed to sleep. For her and the little one. He rested his head on her sholder ." Sleep now, I will keep watch" And he would do so, untill she was fully rested. and if she would stay, for the rest of her life.

She listened to him I want to leave WITH the foal and you know it."she said painfully If you want an heir then use your lead mare." she yawned "Plus you said I was always going to be yours no matter what."she bagan to doze off when this word popped into her head Trick....Trick....Trick....Trick she immeadiatly awoke sweat drizzled off of her head it was so quiet she could hear her ribs cracking as she took in short breaths.She snorted and tried to get up she no longer wanted to be here she could never trust a stallion ever again.She gave up and just layed there listening to the night noises Owls hooting,wolves howling,twing snapping,wind blowing and much more.She layed waiting on his response.

*She snapped at him again. and he just shook his head and rolled his eyes. It made him so angry, but he did not fret. "Well that was not an option" he said with a calm tone. "Like i said, you can do whatever you want, but that foal is half mine" he said again with a calm and even tone. He knew she was not happy, but he was not going to try and confort her. He was done trying to make amends. He would not try anymore, if she wanted to leave when the foal was born that was fine, but he would keep the foal to himself, never would it ever see its mother again. He had made her an offer she could not refuse, if she did the conquences would be dire. ----Fast Forward--- *He had been staying close to her, no matter how much she hated him, that was his foal in her belly and he was ready for it to come out. She was weighted down now and her back began to sway with the weight of the foal. He stayed a close but far distance away from her. Just enough to keep his eyes on her at all times. Over the past months he had not really let her out of his sight. He kept her close at all times. His hatred for her slowly disapated, but it was unclear if hers still remained. He walked over to her and brushed his maw over her swolen belly. Then looked at her and spoke "How do you feel?" he sated calmly. He awaited her reply.

She looked at him with her tear filled eyes of pain and discomfort That's not my fault Blitz you forced yourself upon me."her nares flared with fury and frustration and pain "Why do you ALWAYS trust your instincs...because someone ends up getting hurt in the end.?"She couldn't do the short sissy breaths anymore she inhaled a huge amout of air and yelped "OW!" it hurt but she wanted that air badly.
----Fast Forward----
She finally got up and started to graze and sleep all hours of each day she was alive.She no longer hated Blitz but hated what he did to her she wsn't meant to be bred but for just sport.She was kinda irritated that he would follow her everywhere she went.She looked at him and said with soft words "I'm ok."

* Her soft words met his ears. Her eyes spoke of broken spirit, and he did not like the fact that she was unhappy. He wanted all mares under his protection to be happy. But the shear fact was that she would probably never be happy again. Not after what he had done. He let a small sigh come from his maw before lowering it once more to feed. The foal that grew in her belly was his only heir and he was excited about its arrival. He wanted it to happen soon. He began to think of the foal, how it would look, how it would act. If it was like him he would be ecstatic, but if not he would not mind, he would just have to teach him the ways of the Baratian herd. He lifted his head and looked at duchess. Her eyes still filled with fear of him and his ways. But he felt in due time she would come round and feel something for him, even if his mind was incapable of returning the favor. he waited again to see if her words would yet again meet his ears.

Duchess contiuned to graze meters away fom the herd and Blitz it was noon and the earth was finally heating up the way she liked it.She stared to think to herself Why can he show any affetcion towards me....accept for saying something about the foal?She blinked her tear filled eyes away and forgot that thought that filled her head.Her legs felt weak and the earth heated more than expected so she went into the forest and layed against a tree sweat driplets beaded off of her head and onto the ground,she layed her head in the soft cool dirt if the forest floor.She sighed "No affection...just the terrible use of me for nothing." she said to herself as she layed alone.She began to doze but immeaditly awoke herself.

* He watched as she walked away from the rest of the grazeing mares. He could not help but think that maybe she did not belong there after all. The other mares in the herd actualy wanted to be there, after all they did not even put up as much of a fight as she did. He shook his body free of the flies that had made there bed in his skin. He watched as she moved off into the forest, but still close enough to the edge that he could keep an eye on her. He hoped that maybe she could get some rest while she was alone, but the fact was she was always awake, never really sleeping well. He had to find the reason for this, it was not healthy for her or for the unborn foal. "Duchess, Please come here" He said with a loud but calm tone. He did not want to startle her, but he had a few things he wanted to ask her about. "Why is it that you never sleep?" he said with a quizziacal tone. "And why is it that you do not socialize with me or the others, you have been here for months, and still you only speak when you are spoken to?" he said yet again with a quizical tone. He awaited her reply.

She awoke her dozing mind and body and lifted her beautiful yet stout self up off the ground and walked over to him. "Fear is the problem many of them haunt my mind like ghosts who long for a purpose."She shook her forelock from her eyes she proceeded to answer his next question "I'm also longing for a purpose and when i find it i will feel comfortable again....now just isn't the time."She sighs and grazes once more tp feed the growing foal.She shook her mane at the flies that lie on her neck and on her face making them buzz off and away to bother someone else.She swishes her tail providing her with a small delicate breeze on the hot spring day. OOC::I will move Mystique ASAP

* She spoke of fear and how her memories haunted her like ghosts. He noded his head with understanding. He was atleast trying to make her feel welcome here, even if he doubted it. He could neither console nor confort her, he was just blank, empty and emotionless to her, and he did not know why. He extended his maw, just slightly, to her but then retracted it quickly. He was almost unconfortable in doing this. He straightend up and cleared his throught "Well i hope that time is soon" he said in a gruff tone. It was hard for him to be anything but harsh with her, but he realized that he was going to have to soffen up around her or he would lose her. A fact that he was coming to terms with. She really did not want to be there, and he began to think back to the day when he found her in his lands, all alone. She had teased him, being the stud he was, he could not refuse any mare that walked among his quarters. She would not have come if she knew what awaited her, but the past is the past, it is over now. "How much longer, Till It arives?" he said in a low and baratone voice. Harks flicked forward waiting for her responce.

She nods "I do to."she snorts"A few days ,mabye 2 to be exact."She couldn't take it anymore she went back into the forest and layed by the tree and slept for hours on end.She awoke she felt much better then came back out to the herd it was Dusk now the sun was setting and the sky was shaded in yellow,oranges,pinks,and reds.She kept looking at the sky and she thought DO i want to stay here with Blitz and take care of the foal ot do i want to leave?She grazed among the colored sky and looked at the blackened clouds that lay in the suns colorful ray paths ever so often.As she would go back to grazing she would feel the foal kick and move around and a few times she would chuckle thinking he was just wantin' out.

* He noded as she moved off into the forest one more time. He guessed that the exaustion of carrying his foal and never sleeping had finaly gotten to her, she had slept for hours, and really not missing a beat. He made sure the others stayed away from her, so that she could rest. Finaly she did return to the rest of the herd around dark, she pulled at the strands of grass with her ivories. He watched her as he could see the foal move inside her belly. He moved closer to her and rested his head on her neck. "It is strong, is it not?" he said with a sweet tone. Really he had no other connection to her, that was why he always talked of the foal. Once it left her womb he would probably never see her again anyhow, so might as well keep her around as long as he could. --Fast forward-- It was here, the day his first foal was born. The first but not the last heir to the throne. He would be there when it first opened its eyes, took its first breaths, saw its father for the first time. He paced and moved around unsettled. He nickered to Duchess, wondering if there was anything he could do to ease her pain. "Duchess, is there anything i can do to make this easier for you?" he said with a worried tone. He hoped the foal would be ok, he watched in amazement.

She replies "Very strong." she chuckled.The stars came out one at a time as they always did when the sun stared to set and the moon lifted itself into the cool dark sky,she foal kicked so much it felt like he was having a temper tantrum sometimes.She snorted and found a nice place to sleep for the night,her eyes showed a small amout of happiness every now and again but rarely did it show. --fast forward------ She took deep breaths in and out she looked for a nice quiet place to settle down so she could have the foal "No....im just trying to find a spot to birth the foal."she let out a small laugh and finally found a spot where she was alone she layed for hours she couldn't believe she was having a foal though.......after a few hours passed she birthed a beautiful Bay Roan foal it looked like her and Blitz both.She stood by the foal she was MUCH skinnier now you could see her ribs from expansion to make room for the foal she towered over the small darling of hers. OOC:: you can make it a boy or girl

*Blue hued body did not move as he watched her move to a small seclueded spot. He stood in the same position for hours, waiting on her to come back out of the woods with his foal. He made sure the area was secure, there was nothing more vaunrable than a mare having a foal. He paced and watched the forest opening for her to come through. Finaly she did come out of the clearing, alongside her was the little foal. A bay roan colt. He was the most beautiful thing Blitz had ever seen, his fatherly instingt kicked in almost as soon as he saw the little helpless creature. He strode forward to them and extended his nose out to the foal, lipping his small forlock. He then rose his head and looked at Duchess. "We will call him Pallaton" he knew that the name ment Fire in the native american language. He looked up at duchess again, "Thank you" he said with a sweet tone. Then he looked back at the foal. Pallaton He stood on very wobbly legs as he stood for the first time. He looked at his mother, she was beautiful. Her skin was white with all sorts of beautiful spots. He moved forward to her and drank her milk for the first time. pulling back only when she began to move forward, he followed her out of instinct. She moved out of the forest, and toward a large blue stallion. He hid somewhat behind his mothers back legs, he was scared. He looked at her for reasureance. Then when he stoped before the great blue brute he cowered in fear. The stallion, obviously his father, lowered his head and lipped his forelock. He nickered very happy. He looked at his mother and then back at his father as he was then named. Pallaton. He liked it.

She nods to Blitz and then she shakes all the particles of dirt and small debis off of her coat then she grazed mabye that would give Blitz a head up that she has decided to stay and take care of the foal herself.The sun was just right it didn't heat the earth too much or not enough she wandered through the herd with Pallaton and settled to graze among the other horses,of course she was the odd one out because of her coat color and pattern she shook the flies fron her neck and face,she glanced at Pallaton a few times to see if he was ok or if he was even still by her side,luckily he was leaning his head on her belly he was adorable in everyway.

* He stood watch over his herd, makeing sure that everyone was inline. Duchess had decided to stay in the herd. That was a good choice. For a foal to grow up only knowing a fathers tough love is not a very nice way to grow, he had grown up with only his father, his own mother wanted nothing to do with the beast. He shook his head and then looked at Pallaton. The little bay roan was the best of the both of them. Roan like his father and bay like his mother. He was still very young so what his personality would be like would be a mystery. He watched as the little foal played and danced in the flowers. He made his way over to the little foal and his mother. "How are we all doing over here?" he said with a smile. there was nothing greater than a fathers love, he was finding that out first hand. Pallaton His long and skinny legs let him dance all over the place, he was happy and was learning what everything was around him. He troted up to one of the other horses and was head butted away. Then he went up to a rock where a small deer was hideing. he snorted and it jumped up and ran, He too ran very fast back to his mothers legs and hid from the beast. He looked up at her and gave a very crooked smile. Then he saw the blue stallion approch them. He still hid from him, as he was not yet old enough to know what he was going to do. He smiled as he spoke to them so he ran out from behind his mothers legs and checked out the stallion. " Just fine Sir" he said with a smile.
