He tried to run to her but his eyes went black again he was forced to take a few steps back. With a sigh he stood where he was just on the boarder of the land. "No Moon, it is me." He looked her in the eye sorrow in his eyes for being away from her but he could see her. He could see her beautiful bodice and face. Tears ran down his face.

"Are you sure?" she asked in scared and worried voice. She reached him and reached out to touch him. It is him. "It is you. I thought you were dead. I love you. I will be there for you no matter what. I am so happy. I thought I lost you." she said in a loving voice. She started to cry, too.

He gave a great smile to her as he nuzzled her neck. "I love you too Moon. I will always be with you even if my body is gone." He was happy too beyond words really. He stood like that for a good while. Enjoying her touch and smell and everything, for it was like he was seeing it all anew. Oh how he had missed her so. Then he had a thought, his family not all there. "You must get Medill." He knew that he had scared and he still had a bloody chest but he wished to see his son.

Moon looked at him. She smiled. "I know but I rather have the body. I am sorry the way my father treated you. What did he do and say to you? I will but I want you to tell me what happened." she said in a worried voice.

He stood back a little so he could see her beautiful face. "No, I will tell you together. Go now." He nudged her toward the exit, the boarder of his land. Though his son was young he needed to know what had happened but as much as she did. He wanted to go with her but it would be so hard to get there. "I would go, but if I leave I can't see."

She walked toward the exit and nuzzled him one last time. "I love you." she said. Then she disappeared.

He watched her as she went. When he could no longer see her he turned back to see the still fresh body of the stallion. Medill's grandfather lay dead before him. He smiled almost laughing at his crushed in face. He stood there waiting for them to return.

Moon walked back into the terra and whinnied for her mate. She looked back and waited for her son to come behind her.

Medill soon followed his mom. Looking about for his dad.
Gudillici turned around from the body looking in joy at his family. He nickered back to them. Calling them to him so he could speak.

Moon galloped down to him and nuzzled him."I love you." she said in a loving voice.

The stallion's face turned grim as he started to tell the tale. He turned to look at his son. "That is the body of your grandfather." He said looking from his son to it. "He was going to kill your mother" He kept a serious face through telling this. Not a sad or angry look more calm and serious.
Medill looked at the body in a slight anger. He wasn't that scared of it, he was a brave little colt that he was.

Moon looked at Medill and said "He always tried to kill me. That is how my mother got killed. It was by him. That is how Gold had Dream. The foal you played with. Gudillici, Gold is my step-sister. I protected her like a sister because she was the only thing I had in my life. My father would not let us be together but we found each other after a while. I don't want Medill to have the same foalhood that I did. I hated it. I want a real home, Gudillici, a loving happy home. I swear to you on everything I hold sacred that I will alway be faithful to you. Will you swear the same to me?"

Gudillici looked to the two of them nudging them each in turn. "I swear, may my words be set in flesh through our son." He loved his son, he had promised himself that he would always give him the best of everything. Keeping him safe and protected, happy and well. He had promised them same to her. Giving his life to them, all of him and all his love. He smiled as he continued on. "My son, you will always have me. I will teach you all I know. Though I will tell you now. There will be a time when, like your grandfather I will parish in battle. Then it will be up to you to protect your mother and siblings. Do you understand this son?" He paused a moment looking back at moon and nudging her again.
Medill looked rather solemn as he stood. It was hard to believe that so much rest in his hooves. That he would be as great as his father was. He looked to the body before hi on the ground. "I do father. I will then avenge your death and care for mother's life." He looked deep into himself. Today the colt in him died. He would now face the world with bravery and wisdom as he traveled through it leaving his mark.

Moon nuzzled him back. "Thank you. I love you." she said. She just listen to her mate and son. When they said that, she said "Lets hope that is a long time away." She nuzzled him again. She turned and walked to the orchard and reached up and got some apples to the ground. She neighed to them to come eat.

Medill watched as his father began to walk to the orchard but he stopped him there was something he had to know. Something that his mother needn't be troubled with. "Father. For a moment, back in the other lands. I went blind, I couldn't see or sense much of anything. What is the cause of this?" He wondered for it had not been like anything he had witnessed before.
Gudillici turned to his son. "I do not know Medill. Though for a time, I was blind as well." With the truth said he followed the mare once more reaching up into the trees and grabbing apples for her.

Moon looked at her mate and son. She smiled at them. She reached down and started to eat the apples. When she was finished eating one, she looked at her mate and said "Thank you for protecting me and Medill from my father. I am sorry."

Gudillici stopped for a moment and spoke to the mare. "It was promised to you that I would protect you from harm. He was harm so I killed him. Why would you be sorry?" There were still a few cuts on his chest though only a select few of them still bleed. So it did not bother him as he reached down and ate an apple.
Medill felt the urge to nurse but he didn't. Instead he reached down and bit into an apple. Finding it sweet and juicy he soon finished it and was starting on another. He took a bite of the grass too but found the apples much better as he reached for another. He would nurse no more. He would eat the solid food like a true stallion would.

Moon laughed at her son. "I know but I feel like I brought this on you." she said and her eyes turned to a very light blue almost white. She walked away from them and a tear glide down her cheek. She turned before her mate could not see it.

He looked to his son, his face saying what needed to be said without a word. He turned to follow moon, she needed him more than Medill did. When he got to her side he saw the tear. He licked it away from her face lovingly as he spoke. "Moon, I did what I said i would do. None of that can be your fault." He pressed his body up against hers in hopes of making her feel better.
Medill understood his father. He watched as he left and then walked deep into the orchard. Disappearing from view as they talked.

She stopped walking. She sorted smiled when he licked her face. "I know but I did not think he would take it this far." she said. She did feel better with him at her side.
