Riikka ground her teeth as she slowly made her way to the birthing grounds once more. Harks flicked back as a wave of pain ran through her body, her forward motion stopped as she closed her eyes and her jaw tensed. This time, at least, she knew what to expect after the birth of her son last Autumn this year she was much less concerned by the prospect. Yet, the fact that this was not a comfortable experience wasn't changed. The contractions that wracked her body were no less the second time, and the need to find somewhere safe to bring her foal into the world was not any weaker. That is why she ventured away from her stallion's side and found herself travelling back to the same valley she had visited a year ago.
Digging at the earth she found a suitable spot as he legs buckled beneath her as the spasms of pain intensified, a light sheen of sweat covering her coat. Laboring for some time, Riikka finally gave birth to a beautiful filly, almost identical to Klaus as she was the perfect mix of herself and Alaric. Lifting her head, the mare nickered softly at the filly taking a moment to catch her breath before surging back to her hooves. Turning she began cleaning the foal, softly nickering before urging the filly to stand.
After the newborn was up on unsteady legs and nursed, Riikka nudged her softly. "Come little one, we need to bring you home to meet the rest of your family" she said softly before she began to walk away making sure the filly was close by her side.
