Drifting Beauty - Time to Bring New life

[Gusting Gale]

Bodice shuddered with pain as contractions rippled through her wide barrel. If only the pain would stop! She paced around & around the box. The humans looked worried; but, they always did around foals. Something to do with having overactive brains probably - all humans thought too much.

Bodice laid upon the soft straw bedding as she pushed the final time. Hers & Jack's foal was born, finally. She had been anticipating this time for such a long time. A time when she could move freely without the extra weight. She stood to inspect the foal - ivories bared at any pestering humans.

Her foal was a charcoal grey - probably passed down from Beauty's own father. When she nudged the foal to stand, she noticed it was a colt.
You shall be known by all horses as Drifting Spades, no matter what the humans say
she said smiling.

Spades stood slowly on wobbly pillars, it had taken him three attempts to stand. Quickly he began to nurse, hungry for his first milk.

[Ace of Spades]

Jack was a few stalls down. He heard the news it was a colt. he was being led to teh paddock, and saw the colt. He'll be a winner for sure! he said in a snarky way

[barbaro]

Fire Dancer briskly brushed past him and stop to look. "Oh, your foal is so beautiful!" Dancer cooed. Her orbs lit up. "What is your new foal's name?"

[Gusting Gale]

A snort escaped her maw at Jack's remark. Orbs spotted Skye as Auds detected her kind words.
Yes, he is rather - unlike his father. He is dubbed Drifting Spades
she said kindly a smile on her maw.

Spades finished nursing & slowly wobbled over to the other fae. His maw reached out to nuzzle the other.
'Lo
he whispered.

[barbaro]

She nuzzled the foal. "Hello, youngster," she responded. "Drifting Spades." "I know what you mean," she added as she turned her orbs toward Jack and pinned back her auds.

[Ace of Spades]

Jack smiled as he saw his foal. he loved seeing his foals healthy and happy.
He put his head to the level of Drifting Spades Your name is one to fear in 3 years... he said, smilling.

[barbaro]

Skye nodded her finely tapered head. "That is true."

[Gusting Gale]

That maybe the case, but not if I have my way. His name might be feared in the racing world, but never by brood mares
she snapped, she did ot wish her son to be an evil stud - just a friendly kind, well-mannered racehorse.

He listened carefully to is mothr words. Although, somewhere deep inside him he wamted to be like his father. He wanted a name feared by all, not just his competition.

"I hope not," she said, but she noticed the ambition in the colts wide orbs.

[Ace of Spades]

Jack laughed as she said this. His named will be feared by other stallions as well. He will be, how he will be. Nothing lesser than that

[barbaro]

Dancer rolled her eyes. "Another one of your impressive speeches," she said sarcasticly.

[Gusting Gale]

For once, Jack had said something meaningful & true.
Yes, his name will be feared by other studs.

Spades trotted over to his father & nipped him playfully.
I want to be like you Dad

[barbaro]

"Spades?" Dancer laughed. "You want to be like Jack?" she snickered. "It's Ok Jack, I'm just joking around.

[Gusting Gale]

beuty was angered by her son's behaviour.
if you wish to be like your father than you are a waste
she snapped.

Spades turned & bared his ivories at his mother.
Shut up mother

[barbaro]

Dancer was outraged. "Don't talk ot your mother like that!" she snapped. Her ivories were clenched in her maw.
