The yearling flicka walked very slowly into the lands, aware she could easily be forced into something she didn't like. Small black tipped auds flicked in every direction, trying to catch any scary sounds. Small blue form moved in the shadows. She'd come here only out of necessity. Dark optics searched the place, not sure if she liked what she saw. The blue roan carefully lowered her crown so her velvets could lip up some water that had formed in a puddle. She was actually quite strong and muscular for her age and size. Having been kicked out of her herd when she was only 4 months old Time had learned the hard way how to survive alone. Lifting her crown she looked around, not seeing anything threatening she let her mind wander, back to her beginning.
Looking around the newly born filly gave a snort and looked over at her mother. Big eyes were awed by all the sights to be seen, even from her low vantage point. With the help and encouragement of her grey dam the flicka stood and managed to nurse. After her struggle to stand Timeline was not about to lay back down. Taking a few wobbly steps and then a few more soon she had the hang of walking. Nosing around in the long grass the blue flicka bumped into something and fell over. Looking up the filly saw a colt her size, and he'd been born only a few hours ago also. Cheerfully Time stumbled to her feet. She eyed hm with curious delight. He had the same coloring as her, almost. He was red where she was blue. Smiling she inquired about his name. It was Inferno, how suiting. Infatuated with the long legged colt she batted her long lashes at him. He grinned, understanding what she was feeling, for he felt the same. NIpping him lightly on the shoulder she burst into a wobbly trot. He giggled and trotted after her. They were inseperable after they met. They learned to canter and gallop together, to eat other food besides milk together, they learned to swim together, and they always slept snuggled against eachother. The months past quickly and they never were apart. Soon it was their 4 month birthday. It was a nice bright day. When the pretty blue flicka awoke she noticed Inferno wasn't by her side. Slightly worried she looked around. Not seeing him she wandered off in search. She found him... looking down with horror the filly dropped to her knees and nuzzled him. Wake up Inferno, wake up! Tears streamed down her cheeks and she screamed in agony. His blood covered her muzzle and blue pelt. Crying hard and feeling sick the filly looked around. Inferno's mother came up to her. Seeing the seen she bared her teeth at the filly. You killed him! How could you?! Timeline tried to explain she hadn't but the other mare didn't listen. Timeline fled from the herd, before the lead stag killed her
Snapping back to reality the blue roan began to sob.
