In the Sandwen Realm, all Pegasi are trained to be fierce battle steeds - it's how the Sandwen people protect eachother from the warring Giants and Spit Dragons.
Aquila was just born in the Ruk, where foals are kept, and will soon to be trained for...
ASTABLEGROOMRUSHED through the Ruk, where all the foals and breeding stock was, to find the animal doctor for the fifth clan (their clan), for the time has come.
River was having her long awaited foal.
River was put together with a famous warrior stallion; Saur, he was strong, agile, and a quick thinker. What any rider would want in their steed.
As for the mare, River, she was graceful, speedy, and had gorgeous looks, so the Sandwen bred her with Saur, in hopes to create a wondrous foal for the Queen's youngest daughter. For, the young lady had come of an appropriate age to claim a steed of her own, and their Queen, Valiente commanded them to breed two fine Pegasi for a fine foal by the time her daughter turned 13 years old.
And even though Pegasi warriors were not bred, the Queen wanted to see what might happen if a powerful stallion was bred with a non-warrior, although a pretty one.
"Look!" the stable groom called as an older man entered River's stall.
He glided his warm, smooth hand along River's neck " Shhh, it'll be alright " the doctor hummed to the now panting mare.

Within a few moments, the foal was laying on the stable straw, drinking in the fresh air with her small nostrils.
The groom boy peered over the stall even more to get a better look at the foal " It's a girl! " he announced in a hushed voice.
The animal doctor merely nodded in response, his lips curving into a wide smile. New Pegasi life was always brightening to the heart.
River continuously licked her new foal, she was a light buckskin filly with bright blue wings and jade tips. River thought she was beautiful, and the mare knew she would be bragging about her daughter to the others very soon.
While her mother was licking the foal warm and clean, the filly opended her eyes, taking in all the surroundings. Her gaze traveled around the stables, the kind golden lights comforting her, the straw soft agaisnt her thin hide. She spotted the groom and the doctor, and she wondered who they were . . . what they were.
They were . . . did she look like them? The filly suddenly thought, glancing down to see her four light orange brown legs, brightly colored wings and black tail.
No, she decided she was in no way similar to the odd creatures before her.
The filly felt a spark within her legs. She felt the urge to do something. But what could she do? Now was time to find out.
Her legs twitched, and the filly found she could push herself up a bit. She kept trying, and with enough practice, the foal sat on her legs. She huffed in delight as if to say lookmother, I did it!
But River was too focused on licking her daughter, there would be time for praises and talk later.
The groom stared at the filly with gleaming eyes "Aquila, we should name her Aquila" he said with a nod, approving of his own choice.
"We shall name her Aquila, young Emett" the animal doctor replied.
River blinked at the name "Aquila" she nickered, seeing how the title of her foal rolled off her tongue.
River nuzzled the filly, making her daughter sway a bit "Aquila, my young one, is your name" she murmured.
