The shine in my heart; birthing - Desirea - 06-01-2016
As the days passed and Desirea's stomach continued to grow, she came to the realization that she was indeed with foal. It was funny how such a thing could happen so quickly and unexpectedly. Just one night of lonely passion had been enough to bring new life into the world. ooc; Would Szeth be so kind as to bestow the little one's name on him? c: RE: The shine in my heart; birthing - Szeth - 06-04-2016 He’s been anticipating this moment all winter. Szeth has watched the growing of Desirea’s belly with rapt anticipation. He’s coupled with mares before, been a father before, but not like this - he’s never had the chance to watch his young truly grow. It’s been a little nerve-wracking, surprisingly. There’s just so much that can go wrong with birth, he knows, and he’s so inexperienced with the whole process that he’d be no help if something went wrong. And as for raising a kid itself … That thought brings out a whole other level of nervousness that he’d never known he possessed. Will he be a good father? He certainly hopes so. But he’s never raised a child before. The closest he’s ever come to were his interactions with his little sister Hidatsa, and there he simply been a protective older brother. At least though, he will not be alone. He doesn’t know if Desirea’s had children before - he hasn’t pried, knowing how painful the loss of her memories has been for her - but even if she hasn’t, it means that he won’t be alone in this. He will have a partner, and a wonderful one at that. He’s browsing through the grassy dunes when Desirea’s shout of pain first reaches his ears. “Desirea!” He springs into action, following her scent trail and dashing to her side as quickly as he can. He finds her in moments, but she doesn’t seem to register his presence. Not that he can blame her - birth seems like quite the taxing process. He nuzzles her occasionally, but for the most part stays back, heart beating like a drum in his chest. And then, finally, their child is out in the world. He watches, eyes glowing with pride, as Desirea first begins to investigate the little bundle at her side, and nudges the child up onto his shaky legs. It’s a boy! Hesitantly, Szeth steps forward and reaches down to nuzzle at the little damp colt. “He’s so handsome!” And so wonderfully unmarked by accursed traits! He turns to Desirea, a wide grin spread across his face. “Have you any idea what to name him?” Secretly he hopes that she will let him do the honours, but he will not force her to do so. szeth absolute power corrupts absolutely Sure!

Desirea smiled up at Szeth, obviously dazed and sleepy, but happy. She was pleased to see how happy Szeth was to see his son, and all of her worries turned to relief and excitement. They had a journey ahead, to raise this little creature. She was glad not to be alone. RE: The shine in my heart; birthing - Sin Killer - 06-04-2016
A sudden bright flood of light blinded him, and he blinked his eyes in the sun for the first time. He could feel a warm mass next to him, moving around. It smelled familiar. It felt... safe. The little colt pressed his muzzle curiously against the warm mass, and was startled when it responded with a little nudge.

She’s never been more beautiful to him than in this moment, with the sweat of her efforts on her brow, and their newborn son at her side. She seems so tired though (not that he can blame her), and his heart goes out to her, wishing there was something he could do to ease her exhaustion. Nothing but time and sleep will do that though, he knows. She reveals that she’s unsure of what to name the boy, and a small smile crosses his lips. He’s been bandying about with a name in his head all winter, and now that his boy, his son, is right here in front of him, it seems all the more appropriate. “How about … Sin Killer?” It’s a little dramatic, but … To him the boy represents a life all their own, a life without the corrupt, the traited - the world’s greatest sin. The name represents more than destruction. To Szeth, it represents freedom. He watches as Desirea nudges at the boy, and his smile widens as the boy forces himself up on shaky legs. Desirea steadies the boy, and the Sin takes a few unsteady steps towards him, bumping his muzzle against one of Szeth’s legs. Szeth grins as the boy promptly falls over on his own behind. “Careful there son!” Sin’s eyes blink curiously up at him, and Szeth bends his neck down to give the boy a gentle nuzzle as the colt calls him ‘Da.’ “Yes, I’m your dad.” Sin falls silent again, focusing on lifting himself up on to his feet. As the boy finally reaches his full height, Szeth gives him another little nuzzle. “What do you think bud, is Sin Killer the name for you?” szeth absolute power corrupts absolutely RE: The shine in my heart; birthing - Desirea - 06-12-2016

Sin Killer. The name had been given, and it would stick for the rest of his life. Little did he know how much that name would come to represent him and everything he believed in. Stock credit: lumibear @ dA RE: The shine in my heart; birthing - Szeth - 06-17-2016 She immediately accepts his choice of name, and he breathes a tiny sigh of relief. It’s an unusual name to be sure, but it just feels so right considering what he’s trying to build here - a place where the ordinary can be free from the world’s greatest sin. His eyes narrow as Desirea’s mouth opens in a yawn, and she shakes herself in an apparent bid to clear her mind. She must be exhausted, the poor mare. He knows little of the process of birth, but he has no doubt that it is tiring. It had certainly seemed so for his mother when Hidatsa was born. Desirea implies as much when she finally speaks up, suggesting that she needs sleep. “Of course my dear, you must be exhausted after all of that. Go ahead and have a nap - I’ll keep an eye on little Sin Killer here.” He smiles gently as she thanks him for being here. “I wouldn’t dream of being anywhere else Desirea.” He nuzzles her gently, then steps back, giving her space. His brown eyes turn to the boy, and he smiles when he notices that the boy’s eyes are drooping as well. Little Sin steps over to his mother, then flops down at Desirea’s side. Szeth steps forward again to nuzzle at the boy. “Sweet dreams little one.” He stands there for a moment, watching the both of them as they drift off into sleep. A year ago he couldn't have imagined this, but, here they are. His own, perfect little family. He couldn't be happier. szeth absolute power corrupts absolutely |
