Lassan The stallion sighed and bent his head down to graze. He finally had some peace after two or three years of constant wars, fighting, and fearing for the safety of his herd members. For now, all was quiet. The Darks were staying to themselves as were the Lights and Neutrals. Even the Elementals had been fairly quiet lately.
Even though it was very care free these days, Lassan worried. This was like the clam before the storm. And he knew there would be a storm coming, soon. He had heard the birds talk. He had heard about Aiden's herd getting larger. All the horses better enjoy things the way they were now, because things were definately going to change.
Lassan then let his mind wander, thinking of trival things. He then came ot think of Venom. After River had left him, he bounced from mare to mare. It was quite sad really. He was so naive and quite the idiot. Now he had someone he loved and who loved him back. He was stuck with her until they day they both died, not that he minded of course.
***
The Arab lifted his head and broke off at a trot after a raven flew down and told him that Venom had had her foal an hour or so ago. A smile crossed the stallion's face. He loved children.
***
Lassan slwoed his pace as he approached the place where the raven, Darius, had told him he saw the mare and foal. This was his and Venom's third child already. Only two had been sired by him, but he counted the other as his own. He loved Polaris just as much as he loved the rest of his children.
Now he had another to add to his family. Lassan now realised that all but one of his genetic children had been a colt. Taren was all alone, aside from having Polaris. Maybe this one would finally be another boy.
Not that it mattered anymore. Traditionally the land and herd was supposed to go to the son of the lead mare and stallion after they died. But after River had disappeared, Lassan promised the herd and land to his first born, who happened to be a mare, Shadow.

Vodka's Venom [/font][/right] { Days come and go, but, my love for you is forever } [/size][/center][/font] | The mare gave one more push, and the foal was out. With a grunt, she got up to clean it off.
As the mare got the young foal cleaned, she stopped to stare at the struggling foal. This, the foal's coat, had caught her off guard. It wasn't black. How was this possible? Both Venom and Lassan were dark black. But, this filly was a deep liver chestnut. Odd.
Venom shook her ivory mane, which was drenched in sweat, and bent down to finish cleaning the struggling foal.
Ah, so it was a filly. And at that, the mare smiled and nudged the small filly up. It wobbled, and nearly fell, but Venom caught the young filly. "Steady, young one." Venom soothed as the filly, apparently had become irritated at herself for almost losing her balance.
Slowly, the small, brindled filly began to gain her balance, and Venom guided it to her flank. The mare watched it as it nursed, noting her fluorescent pink eyes and her brindle striping. The filly had a dished face and mainly took after her father, yet she still detect her Arrat lineage in the small form. But, the filly just puzzled her as to how it was a liver chestnut. Venom had always known that all of her family had brindle striping. Maybe it was on her father's side. Yes, that had to be it. She recalled Lynx, who was a chestnut. Someone in his family could be chestnut, the mare noted in her thoughts and, at that, began to graze.
After about an hour, the filly was asleep at Venom's back, who was laying down in the lush, tall green grass. She heard another equine coming.
Ebony ears flicked forward, and ebony nostrils flared. Then she scented her mate, Lassan. Venom relaxed, and nudged the sleeping foal behind her. It rose it's head sleepily, it's white, small dished crania turned and resting on Venom's back. The large stallion startled her, and she struggled to get up. Venom whuffled to the foal, reassuring her that all was safe.
The brindled mare rose slowly and stretched, then nudged the filly to rise. She trotted over to Lassan and nuzzled his muzzle affectionately. The filly eyed them and Venom rolled her eyes and smiled and nuzzled the filly over. "He's your father, young one." And at that the filly smiled and bounced over to the black arabian stallion and nuzzled him.
Venom then looked up and smiled. "Love, would you like to name your daughter?" Venom didn't think she had ever smiled as deep and happily ever before. The filly was their blood. Not that she didn't love her adopted filly any less, it was just, this filly was of their own blood. It was just their's.
"Although, she does have very odd coloring, Lassan.." The mare gave a small smile to her mate "It just makes her unique." Venom nuzzled him lovingly. [/font][/blockquote][/size] [/color] Muse` WOOT THANK YOU GOD MUSE ic` My Playlist Notes` I just thought I would put in this little bit with her.

Lassan
Lassan smiled as he saw the foal, who happened to be another filly. She was also a strange colour; liver chestnut with brindling. If another horse had looked at her, they may not believe Lassan to be the father. The ebony stallion could tell by the confused expression on Venom's face that she was a bit put off about the colour as well. This just caused Lassan to laugh a bit as he spoke up. "She looks like my mother." he said. "Aside from the brindle part of course." Lassan now hoped that the colour mystery was solved.
The smile stayed on Lassan's face as he approached the little filly, lowering his head to meet her own. "'Ello there little one." he said giving her a slight nudge. "Jus' wait 'til you meet your brothers and sister." he said. Luckily she would have younger horses to muck about with. It was hard keeping up with and trying to entertain foals.
The filly smiled at him and closed her eyes as she nuzzled him. So this was her father? Huh. She looked back to her mother. So she had two parents, that seemed to be a good thing. And what had her father just said to her? She had brothers and a sister. What fun! The liver chestnut gave a small whinny as she tried trotting, but ended up falling on the soft grass.
Lassan watched her with a bemused expression as the filly attempted to trot but kept falling over instead. The Arab turned his head when Venom asked him what he wanted to call her. "Hmmmm." he said as he looked up in thought. "How 'bout Cosette?" he asked his mate. "It means 'victorious' in French."
Cosette

Vodka's Venom [/font][/right] { Days come and go, but, my love for you is forever } [/size][/center][/font] | Ah, so that explained her odd color. His mother.
Venom smiled as Lassan greeted his daughter. Ebony ears flicked forward as he said something about her brothers. "By the way, love, I haven't seen Zeake in a while. I do hope the colt is doing alright." Venom's white hooves began to shuffle worriedly, flicking her ivory tail as she watched her mate. "But I really shouldn't worry.. I mean.. The young one is probally just off prancing around in Liberta somewhere. It IS rather large." Venom nodded, sticking by this reason.
She watched the young filly become overly excited about having siblings, and bounced around, just to fall in the grass. Venom laughed and nudged the filly up.
Venom listened to Lassan about the filly's name. Cosette. "It sounds lovely." Venom smiled and nuzzled her mate. She then turned to observe their filly. She was a lovely combination of the pair. And it made Venom smile as she watched their daughter.
Zeake had been exploring Liberta for a few hours, the young colt had grown into a handsome yearling. His looks were from his mother, yet he had his father's personality. A wonderful combination. But the thing he hated, the only thing, were his eyes. They were pink[/i] Why not black? Why not brown?! Instead, they had to be pink. Ugh. He hated them. They weren't really attractive, from what he thought. The brindled coat was sniffing around the forest when he heard voices. His ears drew forward as he stepped forward to peek from the trees. It was his mother and father. He smiled, about to run out and greet them. But then he noticed a small filly by them. Ah. So his mother had birthed his latest sibling. He knew that she had been pregnant, yet he wasn't around to see how it had progressed so much. "Well, your a little late." The colt muttered to himself and trotted out to greet his family. The colt smiled and greeted his mother and father. His attention was then drawn to the liver chestnut filly. What the heck?! Wasn't it supposed to be black? He cocked his head and watched Cosette curiously, but avoided questioning about it. He bent down and spoke softly, trying not to startle the filly anymore. "I'm your brother, sis. My name is Zeake." He smiled and nuzzled the filly's small pink muzzle carefully. He then rose and turned to his father. "What's her name?" He asked curiously, wondering what they had named his new little sister.[/font][/blockquote][/size] [/color] Zeake [/font] Muse` ehh MUSE ic` Papa Roach and Three Days Grace. Notes` :3 Zeake is your normal older brother XD Lyrics` Forever by Papa Roach Character` Venom [/b][/color]

Lassan
+ Polaris
The ebony stallion gave Venom a lopsided smile as she agreed on the name 'Cosette' for the filly. Hopefully the little girl would live up to her name someday. Lassan was distracted from his new daughter as he saw Zeake come trotting up to them. He smiled at his son, who was now a year and several months old. If he were human he would be in his earlier teenage years. "Hello Zeake." Lassan said to the colt, nudging him with his nose in greeting. He hadn't seen the colt for quite som etime, but he had been informed by the ravens that Zeake had been going on adventures in the vast land he resided in.
The brindled filly looked from her father to the new comer. A colt, maybe a year or so older than herself. He looked like her mother and father. He must be her brother! This was confirmed when he called her 'sis' and introduced himself as Zeake. So Zeake, mother, and father were her family that she knew of. The all seemed like a swell crowd.
She then heard Zeake ask his mother and father, well the would be hers too she supposed, what her name was. The foal looked between the two for a second and boldy stepped forth smiling at her brother. "I am Cosette." she said proudly, lifting her head, closing her eyes a bit, all while puffing out her chest.
Just then another brindled colt cantered up to the group, halting only a few strides away which caused Cosette to flinch a bit. Polaris smiled warmly at his father and nuzzled his mother. He then went over to his younger brother Zeake and nipped playfully at his still foal-like mane. "'Ello." said the colt. "An' is this my new sister?" he asked, obviously knowing the answer. His other sister, Flame, was proabbly busy with her mate. Polaris sighed. Ever since Flame had met him and gotten pregnant, she no longer wanted to play with Polaris or go on adventures like they used to. Oh well at least he still had Zeake, and now this new filly.
Cosette
