Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a private RP for Argo, Morgan, Melody, Kantor and Melody and Kantor's children.



The sun shown down upon the earth warming all it touched the birds and small insects were dancing over grass that was slowly beggining to lose the brown of winter as tender shoots poked their way up through dried foliage.

The hum of insects had come back to the wood and Morgan twitched his trail to rid himself of one buzzing nusiance as he looked down the slow slope into the vally below. He had heard something and thought it might be someone approching. He stood enjoying the soft breeze as he watied to see if anyone would come into view.

Morgan returned the sandy colored mare's greeting with one of his own. Turning his head he rubbed his cheek against his mate's soft muzzle. "It was uneventful thankfully. And since it is lovely out it was rather relaxing too. Though it would have been my enjoyable if you had been there."

Stepping to the side so he could look at her directly Morgan"The only significant problem was that the ground is still a bit soft and so we shall have to watch for anyone getting themselves mired in the muck. But with the sun's help that difficulty should resolve itself in fairly quick order. "

Morgan made a face at the menion of his son that was some where between amusment and exasperation. "The last I saw he was training over on the far side of the clearing near the tree line."

Snorting he shook his white mane out of his eyes. "Or at least that is what he refered to it as." The stallion grinned chuckling softly. "To me it appeared that he was trying to pull his chakram out of yet another helpless tree. But at least he has kept his training to the same few trees after you had that little chat with him about maming the forest life. So perhaps there is hope for the boy yet."

"I'm sure they will settle down eventually." Morgan replied with a quick nuzzle for his mate.

"We did, after all." Flicking his ears he listened to for any unusual sounds as he replied. "If I had been told years ago that I was going to find someone and make a home for myself I would have never believed it, and yet, here we are. Life can take some surprising turns sometimes, but then It would be boring if you always knew what was going to happen next."'

Chuckling again Morgan ducked his head. "None of us are very good at dealing with boredom, I'm afraid. In fact the children seem to have the habit of seeking out trouble. They come by it honestly enough considering that we are their parents, but I'm glad Kantor has Melody at his side to help keep him from getting in over his head."

"In fact I've worried a lot less about Kantor since he got together with Melody despite the sometimes frightening stories of their adventures. Two are much more able to over come adversity than one." The stallion smiled into the eyes of his greatest friend and shieldmate. "It's a comfort to know he has found someone he can rely on."

"Oh dear," Morgan gave his mate a look of mock consern amusment warming his blue eyes. "That's not worrying at all."

Chuckling he gave the little bug equu a long look as if that would reveal her secret. "You've got me wondering what he's gotten up to this time. However since you won't tell us I suppose we shall just have to contain our curiosity a little longer while Kantor meanders his way over."

Morgan looked down at the little one in surprise. He wasn't expecting to see a foal out here on his own. Going down on one knee to be more on the colt's level he called out. "Well hello there, and who might you be?"

It was then that he noticed the sun emblem on the youngling's flank and all cohearent thought promptly left his head. "Could this foal possibly be.....no it couldn't," The tall white stallion shook his head in denyal. After all Kantor was so wild and free....then again Morgan had been that way once too and he had started a family. So it was enterly possible that his son had had foals of his own.

His mind gibbered at him half of it in rising delight at the thought that he might be a grandfather and the other half in terror at the very same idea. "Never mind," He thought as he took control of himself once more. "I'll probably find out one way or another very soon.

Keeping his expression gentle and inviting he watched the young foal to see if he would continue to try and run away.

At that moment Kantor came around the brushy hill, a rather damp filly at his side. "There you are!" he called out to the rest of his family. "Sorry for the delay, but someone decided to go for a swim!" He gave his daughter a stern look.

"But Papa! Therewasomeoneinthewater! An' he smiled at me an' I wanna'd to go say hello" The pink filly took a deep breath after her runabout statement. "Where are we goin'?" she asked again, looking up at him with innocent eyes. It was a statement they had heard many many times on this journey.

"We are going to see your grandparents, remember? And it doesn't matter if you saw someone in the water - you are not to go swimming without one of us!" There was a note of finality that Dorianna knew meant she better toe the line. "It looks like your brother has had a bit of an adventure as well."



****
Argo was stunned at the sight of the foal. That marking... it had to be... it couldn't be!
She paced up to Morgan as he stood up.
"Did you see what I saw, dearheart? That colt had the sun-in-glory on his flank! You don't think..." she let the sentence wind down.

The golden mare laughed as she nuzzled her mate softly.
"I feel older as well, but that isn't to say that I am slowing down any! I do miss having little ones about though. Part of me dearly hopes it is true just to have the joy of foals around again!"

She stepped a few paces in the direction the colt had gone then turned to look back at Morgan.
"What do you say we go and find out the answer for ourselves?"
