GAUCHO
And I'd bring you further roses but it does you no good
And I'd bring you further roses but it does you no good
Not only was the Oasis mostly shaded and near water (two things a mother in labour would likely appreciate having around), but it was closer to the heart of the Throat were most of the herd was usually assembled.
Specifically, it was closer to their healers. Although the fire on Gaucho's wings could be made to knit skin back together and ease pain, he had never studied the art of healing. The dun had merely accepted the gift bestowed upon him and used it as his leisure. Being able to heal did not make him a healer, and he knew it.
Sorry...big journey from Edge. Thought I'd have more....time..
As Nyx dropped onto the sands, Gaucho snarled in the back of his throat - a sound which the lion might have appreciated under other circumstances. Still, he was a warrior and improvisation was one of his stronger suits. Three fiery eagles suddenly appeared at Gaucho's side and then flew to the three points of the compass that he did not currently occupy. There, like fiery angels they guarded Nyx from any that might dare to come closer.
While it was true that Gaucho had been present for the birth's of his own hoard of children, he had also been present at many other births as well. There was nothing knew here, and yet for all the things Gaucho didn't know about mares, one thing he had learned was that in moments such as these, despite his desire to be close and to watch them for signs of distress, they wanted anything but his eyes lingering upon their labouring bodies. And so, with a look towards the lion, Gaucho turned his back upon the silver. He stood close, but his eyes were upon the bloody sands of his home.
Gaucho heard the first sounds of life leaving the silver, and he waited a few seconds before turning around. He was surprised (though shouldn't have been, really), to see horns and wings upon the babe. Gaucho had only ever mated with pegasi before, and while he knew what hybrids were, it had never been in his genetic cards before. There was something impressive about the horned babe leaning against Nyx's haunches. Just as he was about to say as much, Nyx was speaking in a tone of voice that froze Gaucho's stomach.
Gaucho, there's something wrong.. Fire rose high and bright on Gaucho's wings as he turned to give Nyx his full attention. He could heal her and the child, whatever it was, he could give them back whatever strength they needed -
As her body was forced into a second birth (this didn't surprise Gaucho, for most of his off spring had come in pairs), he watched the red-cloaked child slip from the silver. Having never witnessed such before, the dun merely inhaled his surprise.
She's not breathing, she's not breathing!
As Dominus moved to aid the child, Gaucho was shocked back into movement. He spun away from the trio. The fire eagles suddenly flew back to his sides as he reared into the air. His fiery wings beat towards the heavens and a column of fire swept upwards and the eagles began to circled it. "SIKEAX." Gaucho roared across the sands. From her place in his antlers, Vorsa suddenly leaped into the air. "Find her." Gaucho commanded the phoenix who took off in a blaze of fire, intent on finding the champagne healer.
Satisfied, Gaucho turned back to Nyx, Dominus, and the two foals. The one was now out of the bloody bag, presumably thanks to the lion. "Healer come." Gaucho assured. If Vorsa didn't find her, the fiery conflagration just feet away from them would surely draw her attention. Like Gaucho with threats, Sikeax always seemed to show up when she was needed.
And she was needed now.
