Welcome to Gaia! ::

Solo rp none but stormflower may post.

Aruhe hadn’t stopped talking about the girls day out with her mate Eridanus, she was surprised he wasn’t sick of hearing about it. She wished she could go with him but he was staying with their 2 girls and they could be quite the 2 hooves full! She loved her little family. She had seen her mother a little since she had them as Nokomis had been there to help in the early days but it had still been awhile and she would be surprised to see how they’ve grown. She was excited to see her aunt and cousin though, she had only meet them once when she was a young adult, and Diellza was but a foal. She arrived to the glade and saw her mother waiting in the sun. It always baffled her how her mom was so perky in the morning after being so alive and one with the night. She was awake at night and followed the moon like her mother but for the life of her she couldn’t be an early bird like her. She lovingly nuzzled her mother, ”Well meet mother! You look radiant as well! You should come see the girls, they are almost grown now. Must they grow so fast? Speaking of kids….when will you give me younger siblings? Papa Astro would be a great father!”, she said teasingly as she looked and saw her aunt and cousin entering the glad together.

Diellza had been looking forward to spending time with her mother and seeing family she hadn’t seen since she was a foal. She barely even remembered them at that. She had met her aunt a couple of times so kinda knew her but her cousin she barely remembered meeting when she was a little filly. All the same she was excited! She had been out traveling the lands and exploring, meeting all sorts of soquili and taken up trading wares and especially fruit. She found gardening and growing food to be relaxing and she like doing what she could to help others. She enjoyed traveling but it was nice to come back home, she had seen her brother and sister some in her travels and spent time with them and visited with her father off and on too but she was glad to have a girls outing and have some time with her mom. She met up with her mom right outside the glade. She had been with her earlier but had a quick errand to deliver some apples to a bear by group she met in her travels so detoured quickly but made haste to meet with her mom. She nuzzled her mom as they walked to enter the glade. She giggled hearing the conversation her cousin and aunt had and even more when her more chimed in. She couldn’t help but coke to her aunts defense being the only one without kids herself yet, ”Oh mother, don’t tease Auntie Noko! I could start asking the same of you and dad.”, she ended in a singsong voice. Her mother gave a playful glare but then they all laughed as they formed a circle and did a group nuzzle, careful of their horns of coarse.

Diellza smiled as her aunt spoke to her about her apples. She was surprised others spoke so highly of her simply little apples, it made her blush a little. She tried to shake that away and answered. ”Of coarse Auntie, I was sure to bring some apples for our girls day. Mother said they would make for a good picnic so I was sure to bring plenty!”, she said and she removed the satchel from her side and laid the apples out for them all. It was then her aunt reintroduced her cousin to her. Diellza stepped closer to Aruhe and bowed slightly in a formal greeting to be polite as she spoke, ”Please to meet you again Aruhe, and you can call me Elza for short! And if I’m honest I don’t remember much about meeting you as I was fairly young but I do have vague memories I think of you playing tag with my siblings and I and something about a bush monster?”. She giggled as she recalled the hazy early memory.

Misae was enjoying the apples and time with her family. The sun was out, there was a nice breeze blowing through the glade, everything was perfect. That was, until it wasn’t. She started to feel off, she wasn’t she why or what was causing it though. Suddenly it started to get dark. At first she thought it was a passing cloud but she looked up and there were no clouds in the sky. She found herself looking to Nokomis and then to the sky. They were both feeling it, whatever it was. ”Sister? What is going on? Have you knowledge of this?”, Misae asks nervously.

Nokomis had been watching Misae as her color seemed to go pale before she herself felt anything and when she had they could see something start to cover the Sun. Misae questioned her if she knew anything but she wasn’t sure what to tell her sister or their daughters as now they too were lookin at the sky and to their mothers with worried expressions painted on their faces. ”This isn’t like anything I’ve seen or heard of before. It’s giving off a strange energy as well. I think it’s best that we…..”, Nokomis was unable to finish her sentence as Sun was now half covered and Elza yelling had taken all attention

”Mother!!, Diellza yelled as she saw her mother go from standing tall one second to faltering and slowly sink to the grass below. Color drained from her face. She leaped to her mother from where she had been standing near Aruhe and crouched next to her, her aunt coming behind her as well. ”Mother, what’s wrong? Are you ok?”, her voice dripping with worry.
