Spring had finally arrived after a long wait and each small day the weather was gradually effecting the increasing of life. And over by the edge of the turquiose water there stood a perfectly arched silver spotted mare. Most mares lay down when their pregnent , but Lace hated the realization that if trouble came along she would have to waste time by standing up before she could help, so she stood. her elegant neck arched down as she picked nonchalantly at the grass blades. Suddenly The foal deep inside her began to move and gave a soft kick and even though ussually Lace was thoroughly unhappy at these times, this time was an exception. Because this time she knew that soon the foal would be out would be out. Too soon, but there was still time to travel to the grounds. A excited smile played across her maw and knowing the limit on her time she quickly decided that it was finally time to leave the safety and protection of her home and her stag Zodiac; lead of this enchanting terra. She dipped her head slightly and gracefully moved out from the edge of the water and slowly towards the boundry line. Where she swiftly gave a gentle nicker for everyone in the terra to hopefully hear. I will be back as Soon as I may... And So With that finally announced Lace picked up at swift cantor to travel towards the foaling grounds....

Zodiac was making rounds and checking the land to make sure intruders were not walking in. His gait at ease as he held his speed at a flowing trot, his nostrils flared as to take in any unwanted smells and his ears rotating to pick up movement. Then came a nicker, a familiar nicker that he knew was from Lace and no one else. His heart seemed to leap as he knew the reason for her absence and he would wait patiently for her return.

Leaves crackled as daggers padded down on the soft forest floor, and life flourished around as spring brought new life to the world. A warm nicker was let out from a femme approaching the falls, followed by a shrill whinny from the lovely filly beside her. Finally they emerged from the clustered trees and the silver spotted mare swung her tiara and let out a buck swerving into a gracefully entergetic canter. She splashed happily through the water by the falls, and let out a joyful nicker of delight to be back...
The Roan spotted filly stared at her mother for a moment or so in curiosity of to why she was so excited, but her mothers happiness spread and the filly gave out a buck, and ran behind her mother, her shrill whinnies piercing the air...
Lace gave a laugh at her filly's antics behind her, and finally slowed to a halt, and nuzzled her.
I love you Winter
She whispered in the filly's auds. Lace's emerald optics gleamed in delight, and love for her filly. Her arabic neck was arched gracefully, and her slender bodice shone purely as she watched winter.
I love you too! But...Why are you so happy? I mean to be here?
Winter's optics gleamed in happiness, but also confusion and amusement. It was funny to see her mother goofing off like a filly, like her! Because her mother seemed too grown up to be playing around like that, and Winter had always thought that when you grow up you can't have fun anymore. But her mother had just proved her wrong and it was extremely amusing...
Lace gave a short warm laugh and answered
Why, I'm so happy because were finally home! This is the Hidden Falls, and soon you'll meet your father.
Her silvery pelt gleamed and her optics shone in amusement and pure absolute delight to be home...
Winter thought for a moment or so before exclaiming Okay! Enthusiastically. and then shaking her head gently...

A slight breeze ran throught the trees, birds chirrped and squirrels jumped from tree to tree playing. Snow was scarce now as the warmer weather melted the white patches that spotted the ground. A shadow within the trees, though if you look closely it took the shape of a horse, head to the ground grazing upon the newly sprouting emeralds that grew in the trees. His auds flicking as to hear everything and a familiar whinny filled his ears. He brought his head up quickly with his ears pricked as an unfamiliar sharp whinny filled through his ears. It was lace and a filly, she was back and with that the black stallion pushed his body into a canter across the forested land and to the great fall in the center.
The black stallion began to slow as he made his way through the trees and he could hear Lace more clearly as she seemed happy. A smirk crossed his maw as he came through the trees as a trot, his movement graceful with his head bent. This was the breeds majestic look and though he wasn't full friesian he still showed all the characteristics and beauty of the breed. He moved though the water as he reached to his knees and then came to a stop upon the shore where Lace and the foal stood. He nickered warmely to his lead glad to have her back as he had come to realize that he truely did love her and he reached his muzzle out to nudge hers and then lowered his black dial down to the filly.

[glow=red,2,300]A warm sensation pricked at Lace's heart as she saw Zodiac appear, and she couldn't help but raise her form slightly and let a soft smirk flick across her maw in pride for the little filly. She nudged the black stag gently, and then stepped back to let Winter meet Zodiac...
Though as Zodiac lowered his dial, the filly snorted and stepped back a few steps. Then she raised her head and looked him over as if sizing him up. A few moments of the filly simply looking over Zodiac went by, before the filly stomped and gave a nicker as if to exclaim, He'll due! Then she leaped forward and nuzzled Zodiac enthusiastically...
Worry flickered through lace as her filly stepped back watching Zodiac for a few moments, but her worry quickly turned into warm amusement as the filly leaped forward and nuzzled Zodiac. Well, She's certianly outgoing! lace thought in content, and a warm laugh escaped her...
When she was done nuzzling her father, or..she hoped it was her father, otherwise that would've been awkward, she stepped back with a big grin playing on her maw as she raised her head and said proudly
I'm Winter's Treasure! Winter for short!! What's your name?
Lace laughed again as she watched her incredebly entergetic filly, and her emerald optics sparkled in delight as she turned to watch zodiac...

Zodiac stood quietly as the filly stepped back, the way her orbs moved he knew she was looking him over and then she seemed to accept him. He nuzzled her back and then raised his dial, his black auds pricking forward as she spoke and the black stallion replied. Its nice to meet you Winter, I am Zodiac. A smirk crossed his maw, she was simply beautiful and looked much like her mother. He was pleased and glad to have his lead back along with the new filly.
He then turned his head to Lace and decided to let her know what had happened in her absence. We have a new mare with us now, her name is Memory and she has a filly with her named Moment. He hoped that the two fillies would get along and be able to play with one another. Moment was a few days older but the two were very much the same age and could grow up together.

[glow=red,1,000]Winter pricked her auds as Zodiac spoke and she grinned happily. Suddenly a dragonfly started circling around her by her head and first Winter tried to get rid of it by shaking her heads carlessly a few times, but after a minute or so she got extremely annoyed by it's buzzing, and so she whipped around and started chasing it around and around and around. Although finally she became so dizzy she collapsed and started giggling unstoppably and the dragonfly landed right on the bridge of her nose.
As Lace watched and listened to Zodiac, she held eye contact and swiftly replied to his words
That's wonderful Zodiac. Have you been well through these weeks?
A warm smirk played lightly upon her maw, as she waited for his reply. And although she was seriously trying to focus on Zodiac and what was going on in the Hidden Falls, it was incredebly hard not to laugh at the dramatic antics of Winter.
She loved being back in The Hidden Falls, and she loved being back with Zodiac. It was all fitting back in place again, and now there was also a new filly and a new mare, who Lace was sure would be well enough, and most likely, the Moment and Winter would get along if things went well.[/glow]

I trotted happily before mother, Come on mom! I heard someone this way! Come on!I squeeled happily, delighted to have heard something other then my mother nagging my to have a rest since I had been up since sunrise.
Coming dear, you are sure it wasn't a frog this time? Memory said with a light laugh as she came up beside her filly, giving her a light and playfull nudge before springing into a canter. Come on then!
I smiled slightly, It wasn't a frog! It was a toad! You said so yourself! I said with a laugh and as she sprung forward I did so too, happy to see mother so happy. I hadn't seen her like this since, since, well, I hadn't to be true. She was so much better now that we were here with daddy-I mean Zodiac, definately Zodiac. Then we went into a clearing and mother slowed to a hault, I did too. Usually mother only stopped when something was wrong. Then I heard voices, new voices, and I realised why. She was still nervess around others. I heard her take a deep breath, Come on mom! I encouraged, prancing toward Zodiac happily, she followed slowly at a walk.

Zodiac watched Winter for a while he couldn't help but give a little laugh as the dragonfly landed upon her nose. One ear always pricked upon Winter with the other catching Lace's words. I have been well and nothing really new around Hidden Falls besides Memory and Mement joining us. He was glad to have both mother and daughter for this would give Winter someone to play with and Lace someone to converse with if they could get along. Memory seemed to be shaky around others but he hoped that with his and Lace's help that she would be able to get comfortable around others.
Then he heard something in the trees. He pinned his ears down and looked to see if it was a threat and saw Moment and Memory. Memory seemed hesitant to come closer but Moment came over and Zodiac lowered his dial to her and gave her a light nudge. He then nickered for Memory to come over so he could introduce her to Lace.

Hi! I said happily to Zodiac and the other mare. Looking at both of them with pricked ears but then I heard a uncontralable giggling and went off to find out what it was, now that I knew mother had been noticed and had to come. I looked around across the long grass but couldn't see anything, so I started trotting towards the sound. I trotted and such... until I tripped over something -or someone- and landed with a 'oof' in an undignified heep.
She looked after her filly and gasped a little at her fall and then shook her head lightly once she knew her filly was uninjured. Then she heard Zodiac and slowly walked over. She stopped near the two of them, her ebony coat shining softly in the suns rays. Hello Zodiac, I haven't seen you in a little bit. She commented politely just to say something, then looked over to the other mare. She guessed that she was Lace but didn't over assume anything. Hello. I'm Moment. What's your name? You could tell that she hadn't come in contact with other horses very often and that Zodiac was one of the first she had talked to in years. The horses she had known before all hated her purely for her coat color, and her herd had simply left her when she was not even a week old just becaus ethey believed she wouldn't be fast enough.

[glow=red,1,600]Winter couldn’t stop giggling as she looked cross-eyed at the dragonfly sitting on her nose. And she watched it, with it’s big, bulging eyes, and colored shiny wings, it looked pretty funny. And by the way it looked at her, the dragonfly probably thought she was pretty funny looking too. At the thought, winter burst out into even more giggles. Though suddenly her giggles were interrupted when something-or someone- tripped over her. It landed with an ‘oof’ and a thud on the ground, and Winter was so startled she gave a short yelp. But then as she prepared to scramble up, she turned to the side to see a filly on the ground looking straight back at her. There was a moment of curious silence as she lay on the ground, until she suddenly realized what had happened, and she broke out giggling even harder—if that was even possible. Finally after gasping for breath between her giggles, Winter finally managed to say
HI! I’m Winter!! Who are you?
Her voice was enthusiastic and a enormous grin was plastered happily on her small maw as she scrambled up. Her small optics sparkled with amusement, as she shook her small mane roughly to rid herself of the leaves and twigs that had been on the ground previously.
Lace pricked her auds as the filly and mare emerged, and watched as the mare and Zodiac greeted one another. This must be Moment. Her assumption was proved accurate when Moment introduced herself. Usually, lace would be careful about who she made friends with and who she didn’t. but that just didn’t seem fair here, because Moment was obviously wary and nervous around others. So Lace relaxed and a warm smile formed across her maw as she replied
Welcome Moment, I am Lace. I’m very pleased to be meeting you.
Her words were genuine, and her optics sparkled warmly as she dipped her perfectly carved tiara in Welcome. All was well and placid, until suddenly there was a yelp and a thud. Surprize sparked in Lace’s optics but she did not step back or falter. A moment went by of silence and worry started a fall upon Lace, until suddenly the recognizable giggles of her filly started up again, and Lace dismissed the matter with a smirk and a roll of her chasms in amusement… [/glow]

OOC: I thought the mare was Memory and the filly was Moment?
BIC: Zodiac watched as Moment walked trotted up to them and soon made her way in another direction to where Winter had gone off to. He was pleased to see Memory coming over and he gave a dip of his dial. Yes it has. He then let the two mares introduce themselves to one another then a silence fell over as a thud hit the ground and a yelp came from Winter. Zodiac turned his dial and stood tall until Winter busted up in giggles again and then he turned back to the two mares. Though he wasn't sure really what he could do for now it was up to them to get to know one another and hopefully get along.

(oops, yes it is. she said Memory! lol)
Memory looked quietly towards Lace as she spoke and was glad for her kindness. She felt more at ease knowing that perhaps others were not as horrid as she had remembered them. I must say the same. Answered she, other then that she wasn't sure of what to say as she hadn't been around others for quite a while.
* * *
I looked towards the other filly who spoke, not at all nervous, I just wondered if we would be friends. She seemed friendly enough. Hi! I'm Moment! I said happily, clambering up to my feet sticks and leaves fluttered to the ground. I shook most of them off but one flower petal remained so I just left it. Do you want to play with me?
