It was finally time. It felt like it was so long ago that I bred with Poseidon. Now it was time for my foal to be born. I wobbled into the Foaling Field, the pain gaining every step I took. I fell down to the ground and snorted at the pain that was increasing.

The contractions were getting closer together and they hurt more everytime. I could tell this foal was ready to get out. I cried out in pain as I pushed once, feeling something start to come out of me. I began to push again then looked behind me at the foal that had come out of me. It was a colt. A tear dropped from my face as I looked at the foal next to me. It was my foal! I began to clean it off. Somehow I just knew what to do the moment the foal came out of me.

Where was Poseidon?

I charged, over hill and dale as they say, on my way to the Foaling Field. My breath came quick and fast as I ran, and my legs ached for me to stop, but I didn't notice them. I couldn't. Today I was going to be a father! I demanded my body to allow me to run faster. I felt like I had wings. My heart soared with every stride I took. I was flying.

I skidded to a halt at the border, paused to catch my breath, and continued on at a fast lope. I slightly skidded to a stop by her. "Melody," I whispered. "It's okay, I'm here." I came over and licked her sweat-covered neck, then retreated and watched her swollen belly as contractions rippled across it. I turned to face away from her and spread my pillars out for a brace. My sea-green optics watched the land in front of me fiercely, and I bared my teeth in defiance. No one was coming close to my love. If anyone did come within ten yards of her, I'd rip their throat out, mare, stallion or foal. I was that hyped up, that protective of the new life we had created.

I flicked my auds behind me as I heard a slurping sound. I swiveled my cranium to see her with another form: roan-colored, a mix of ours. I was overjoyed with the foal, turning to nuzzle Melody and then my son. But my joy soon turned to worry: he wasn't moving.

I smiled as Poseidon arrived right next to me. I felt so safe with him here with me and our foal we created. I looked back at my son, my smiled dropping to a frown. He wasn't moving. Oh great, my first foal isn't moving! What do I do? "Poseidon..." I said, worryingly.

The little colt was just laying on the ground, not moving. He wasn't breathing either. He finally let out his first breath, showing life. He still was not moving, but at least he was barely breathing, which meant he was alive.

I sighed in relief as he started to breathe. I nudged him, trying to get him to move. I looked over to Poseidon, not knowing what to do.

My anguish turned to joy as he took a breath, but then my spirits fell again when I heard him. He wasn't acting like a normal foal: not standing up, barely breathing. He was my first, of course, so I wouldn't really know, but I'd seen enough of my brothers and sisters born to know what normal foals acted like. "Melody," I said calmly. "It's fine. he's fine. I don't mind." I paused. Maybe I shouldn't ask, maybe he wouldn't live. 'What should we name him?"

I sighed as I saw him move a bit. Hopefully he would be ok. "How about..." I said, thinking of a name for our new foal. This was all so new to me. I had only one other brother but I didn't see his birth, so I didn't really know what to do. It would all come to me hopefully. "Talos."

((shortness...))

I thought about her idea. "Talos," I said to myself, nearly whispering. "One of Hephaestus's creations." I turned back to Melody and thenewly named colt. "Talos it is," I agreed. "It's a wonderful name." To tell the truth, I was slightly surprised that she knew of the mythological Talos, but no matter. It was a good name. I nudged the colt, letting him know that I was there, that he was all right.

I nodded and smiled, looking back down at my first foal, Talos. I nuzzled the little foal, wanting him to get up to show us he was alright. I looked back at Poseidon then back to the little colt. "He's precious," I said, smilling.

Talos perked his auds up and barely picked his head up off the ground, looking over to the stallion that had just nudged him, who he know thought was he father. It was. He let out a small whimper then looked over to his mother. He tried to get up, but fell right back down to the ground. He laid down, not trying again.
