//The mother breathed a sigh of relief as both tiny, frail creatures were delivered safely into the world. Whoofing warm breath gently on the quivering, wet fillies, she carefully began the task of drying them with quick strokes of a pink tongue. Uncovered from the birthing bag, the two flickas were exquisite and of vibrant, bright hues. Touching the first, a lovely sun-kissed topaz belle, she whispered softly, “Adara’s Rose…the noble blossom…my little Adara.” Nuzzling the other, a flaming ruby faerie, words fell like jewels from her lips, “Immortal Fire…Echo, my little nymph,” Each tiny creature gazed at her sister wonderingly, then adoringly at the madonna. At first breath, the two small creatures were locked together in an unfathomably deep bond beyond that of soulmates. Nestled together in a cool grove of the forest, a blanket of love and calm surrounded them in a golden nimbus of peace. With a rough shout, it shatters. The human comes…mother…no…mother struggles…fights…screams…Adara whinnies…more humans come…taking mother…no…the two fillies run as one…the mare screams…there are too many…the man-things drag her away…
..time whirls in mirage’s heated waves…

She frolicked in a fresh green field, the sun's bright rays glinting off the new ruby of her baby soft coat, the wind tickling a brush of raven mane, and flowing through an already long banner. Her small face was achingly, compellingly beautiful even in its childhood...Eyes were large and infinitely dark and expressive, wide-set in a dramatic, sculptured facade. 'Twixt her pools was a snowy diamond, flaming with a bright frothiness in the heat of the day. Face tapered to a small, perfectly shapen muzzle, large nostrils ever-quivering with new discovery. Laughing, the tiny foal whirled and danced, chased by another filly, a more delicate creature. Adara was a tiny, delicate little filly, but alive and vibrant with life. Her pelt was of purest burning gold, a small piece of the sun. From the topaz body waved a short, silvery cream tail and a shock of frothy mane. Her face was identical to the other filla's...but her star was curiously shapen, almost flowerlike.
The two sisters danced across the field, the ruby one kicking up her heels and racing with the wind, the golden one chasing and playing games of tag with the ruby.
Then the stallion thundered near...
Hearing...Adara! Running...running...flying...whirling...kicking...rearing...hurt...hurt...Adara...leg explodes in pain…can't get up...Adara...ADARA!…shattering scream pierces the air…must not lose Adara…not Adara…no…no…no…
The golden filly crumples to the ground, the ground runs with crimson fluid…no…no…no…

…time whirls in mirage’s heated waves…

…She battled with an invisible opponent…acidic coals of ash and stench of death fill her being…Disease had gripped reality…the nightmare come alive…burning, cold fire branded on her soul…malignant icy fingers rend and slash her mind…as weakening spreads throughout her body, a scream rips through the air…the essence of nothingness slashes through her, burning, searing, eating, knawing, X-ing, dying, destroying, obliviating, nothing spreads throughout her as the Unmaker grips her in its rancid grasp…the disease flowed through her body…sending living nerves to emptiness…there would be nothing left…there would be nothing left…she fought with all her might…cold…nothingness…nothingness…//

The russet one lay in feverish trance, her nightmares haunting her in the whirling mirages…


((Rush’s player: don’t worry, the disease hasn’t returned, she’s only having nightmares..))
