She moved through the dawning sky, her body merging with the shadows so easily. Her wings were neatly folded by her sides as she sought out Fantasma. Soon though she spotted him and knew that he would be aware of her coming. Down she soared to land beside him.
"Fantasma?"

The king lay in his hammock of leaves and brush, so comfortable to the touch. Many days, he spent time there lounging and speaking to his faes, but they rarely bothered to come and speak with him. Lifting his ebony crown, sky blue eyes searched for where the sound of wings beating came from. Diverting his eyes to the sky, he noticed that it was Free Spirit above him and let a smile spread over his velvets. It was so early, and Fantasma wondered if there were any problems. Mares occasionally fought, but it had not happened yet in the peaceful lands of Aonar Ciunas.
"Yes, Free Spirit?" he questioned, slowly rising to his feet as he stretched easily. "Does something trouble you?" he asked, hoping that everyone in the beautiful valley land was enjoying every bit of it. This land was so very different from what it had used to be, and he wondered if she was thinking of leaving, like the fae and her blind filly had. Then again, they were never his to begin with. Still, any worry of his mares' was a worry of his.

"I sought you for a different reason, actually, Fantasma." She smiled as she looked at him. She'd come to be in heat now, and that was all she could think about at the moment. "I seek a foal of my own," she said, smiling at him.
There was nothing she wanted more now than ever.

Fantasma should have sensed the heat in the air, but he had just thought it to be one that didn't want a youth this year. Some skipped out from one year to the next, for they were either too young or they were still busy raising a rambunctious yearling. The ebony king was not as shocked as some stags would be, for many were asking for foals at this time of the year. "Of course, my dear," he said calmly.
The king looked to the horizon. He didn't care where they went to complete the task, for some of the caves here were perfect for that. The glade was more open and dangerous, but it was just as well suited as the land. Fantasma would do anything for her though, so she would just have to say what to do. "Were would you like to go? Stay here, or go to the glade?" he asked easily.

"I think here is safer. I heard that my hellion sister, Blatt der Flammen, who I guess you remember, lurks there, hurting those who dare come her way at the moment, if their not pure hellion." She tossed her head.
Pain in the neck that sister was.

The mighty king nodded, not bothering to take off since the entrance to the maze of caves was just around the corner. "I agree. I have also heard of those rumors," he said simply with a nod, looking back to see if she was coming after him. Smiling, the ebony Alicorn couldn't wait to see his newest heir, especially since it would be mostly an Alicorn, like the two of them partially were. Since he had a son, perhaps a filly would suit him well. Then again, any heir was nice for him.
Fantasma reached the caves, looking around to them. They were beautiful and unchanged from when he discovered them. Riches and jewels that humans would have loved to find sparkled on the wall of the cave, illuminating it slightly. Amazing stalactites and stalagmites hung from the ceiling and jutted up to it. "Isn't it pretty here?" he asked, loving the darkness and the calm of the cave.

She smiled as she followed after him, wings tucked neatly into her sides. Then she stopped to look around at the cave. "It is beautiful," she said. She smiled as she looked around. How could she have not known about this yet? She was the one who was always looking around in different areas.

Fantasma grinned as he looked to the spacious tunnels that led to large rooms and soft sanded places for dwelling. This was the perfect place for sleep, and it was the safe place that all young ones and mares would stay at night from now on. Each could have as many rooms as their hearts desired. "This huge cave system would be what everyone would live in if danger came. During war times, we will stay here. Over one land, there is Danger Gully, so I think we will be dwelling here every night. The rest of our large valley is for daytime," he concluded, loving the dark caves.
This was a very special room, but it was not one of the living quarters or main quarters. This was one of the rooms of jewels. In other rooms, there were oasis with mountain water in them that led to estuaries and finally to the sea. They were fresh water though. A huge cave river ran down the center of the cave, yet it was small enough that any adult could jump. Stairs of rock ascended to the top of the valley too, where one could view all. Spectacular ledges and sandy rooms also existed in the wonderful caves. There were so many more things to show her though. Now, he was only waiting until she was ready.

"I'm ready," she said, shifting her tail out of the way. She was not bothered by this sort of thing at all. It would be good though, to see another one running around. This one though, would certainly have wings, for they both did. With the others that chance was halved and she knew it. It mattered not though. She wondered though if the foal would be black like they were or take after her family.

With her signal, he began and finished the job, tucking his wings to his sides while he did so. Coming around to her side after, he nuzzled her gently. Fantasma knew there would be a new young one running around the territory soon, one that would most likely be the hue of him and his son, seeing as they were both ebony. It would be a nice change having a heir of a different hue though. The young one would be his second, after his son Hemlock. A filly would be nice to have, now, since he already had a colt from Nightshade.
"How are you, m'dear?" he asked, already beginning to walk out back into the sunlight after their time together. Getting back to his herd was a priority, since they had been away for a while. Happily, he nuzzled her again, excited for the next year when she would be getting ready to give new life to the valley.
