AuroraElis
As the evening progresses the three find themselves under the tree Jack and her had sought shelter under not more than a day before. There are remnants of their time here, reminders of the day they spent carefree amongst the clover, a brilliant rainbow overhead. Now as the sun sets from the sky streaks of fire red, orange and yellow paint the skies. The same colors reflected on each of the foals she has brought into this world. The filly grows brighter with each minute. Tuffs of flames begin to ignite along the ankles of the colt. She watches their transformation, amazed at how far they have come in their first day. Her thoughts then look to the future and what it may hold for them all. Her navy eyes lift to the silhouette of their father, still lingering in the near distance. Her gaze shifts back to them as they lower themselves to the grasses below. They crowd each other, wrapping their heads to rest on each other's backs. She smiles, but it soon fades as she looks now to Jack. It was strange seeing him lifeless. A part of her wishes it is all a bad dream that she will soon wake up from.
Sleep has evaded her for nearly 24 hours, tonight may be no different. She decides to lay with her foals nestled against her belly, facing Jack so if the wolves should come for his body, she could run them off. Her ears flicker at the chirp of crickets as she tries to resist sleep. Her eyelids grow heavy, her head sinking lower until it rests alongside the twins. Their flames have dimmed as they drifted off to sleep and so the world around them goes dark...
Not all that glitters is gold
