A groan escaped the brindled roan's lips. Is this what her dam had gone through when she'd been pregnant with Raxa? If it was, Raxa felt sorry for her dam; she hadn't expected pregnancy to be like this. Hell, she hadn't even expected to wind up pregnant, especially not by a friend. She'd seen Jedi as a comrade in arms and a worthy ally on the battlefield, but she hadn't really seen him as a stallion she'd view as something more. And that night...
Shaking her head, Raxa cleared the thought from her mind. She had a border patrol to get to, even in her condition. The mare finished chewing the mouthful of grass she'd grabbed, flicking her tail to get rid of a couple of flies that had settled on her rump. Really, it was the beginning of spring and already those annoying creatures were on her?
Whatever, they'd soon enough leave her alone. The brindled mare knew that Jedi and Sunfall, the gray mare, were due back from their patrol anytime now. Jedi had been her mentor, training her to be a warrior, something Raxa could find admiring. She'd always known she would be a warrior, but for others, it took time. They were raised in a sheltered, good life here, rather than what Raxa had grown up to know.
The fact that Sunfall knew she still wanted to be a warrior was admirable.
As Raxa made her way to the edge of the territory to begin her patrol, she spotted the familiar forms of the paint stallion and the gray mare. Her sides were incredibly swollen, something Raxa could relate to. Still, the gray mare looked bigger; was it possible she was carrying more than one foal?
Raxa didn't know if she could handle the stress of that matter. Raising one foal would be tough enough, especially since the mare really hadn't known a dam's love for most of her life.
The mare smiled at the two warriors as she approached them, "Border patrol went well I take it?"
