Good that you are where , come this way" The bird and the stallion come into the cave where it's found a beautiful white mare , with golden mane and white coat laying in the cave's ground. " I don't think she will resist more , I am worried Gruvus...." the stallion put his head down looking at the mare's face , flicking his ears down. The owl turned his head ( like a owl will do it) and opened his big brown eyes. " Markus, Who is him?" asked Gruvus The bay stallion flicked his ears in the direction of Gruvus voice and then he turned his head. A colt was standing there long legs and big eyes, always surprised with the owls trick. " He... Is my son , and is the reason in which you are here my friend " The owl tuned his face to Markus and Markus turned to him too and gives a little smile. The colt saw how the friends looked each other when a little snowflake catch the colt attention . " You see..." Markus turned to see the mare " She won't begin alive anymore , she couldn't resist the birth , she told me to call you for you help him out " the stallion looked at the colt with the brown eyes full of proudness and then the owl . " So...you want me to take care of him?" "No! ...well no sorry , you see he will need a mother so can you help me out finding a mare to be his mother and if you can I will like to be fast , you know that I can't take care of him" The stallion give the owl a 'do it now' face , Gruvus get up in the sky searching a mare.
