One cool evening, Temon was out grazing by the edge of the woods. It was nice and quiet. The sun was just setting in the west and to the east, the sky grew darker and a few stars could be seen in the coming night sky. It was going to be a clear night by the looks of it. Temon had been lost in his thoughts for the last couple of months. At night, he had been going off on his own a lot to think. During the day, he was up and about help watch over Gertie and helping out around the herd. He's son had returned and everything was falling into place. But one thought had always been on his mind for the last few months since Esperanza had brought up the thought. Back when Gertie was about a month old, Esperanza had brought up the subject of having a foal. She had said she had always wanted a filly and Temon was reminded that he has always wanted one as well, but he had grown to old to do anything with parenting. He was lucky he was able to get Utah and find out about his new oldest son, Enre. But to his surprise, Esperanza really wanted that filly she had never gotten. Temon had been lost in thought just wondering if they should try. He had not brought it up since that day, but something within him made him want to try again. He loved Esperanza deeply and wanted her to always be happy and pleased. Temon kept on grazing. Then he heard someone coming up behind him. He lifted his head from the grass and face out into the open valley. He kept his eyes and body facing away from the horse. He closed his eyes and said, "Are you willing to try?"

"I am.But do not feel bad if we cannot.We aren't as young as we once were,we may be too old."Esperanza said softly.

"I know," Temon said as he finally turned to face her. "I'm not half of what a stallion should be." Temon saw the loving look in her eyes. She was alway so beautiful and on the on coming night, this night would be perfect for the two of them. Temon thought for a moment, wonder what his sons would think and what Spirit would think. He had a feeling that Spirit would not be too happy about his mother trying to have a foal at her age, but if it worked and she became pregnant, he was sure Spirit would support them. Temon had to be careful around here. Esperanza was of Spirit's herd and Temon knew he had no right to go off with her with out Spirit knowing of it. Temon looked to her. "Are you sure it will be alright to do this? After all, I am only a stallion in the herd. Would we be going against the laws of the herd," Temon asked. He hated to ask, but he needed to know. He was not to familiar with the way this herd ran. "We'll have to tell the others sooner or later."

"A mare is allowed to be with any one they wish,but at THEIR discretion.And yes,I'm ready to do this."Esperanza encoraged him with a nuzzle.

"Alright. But let us go else where. Unless you want the whole herd to know," Temon said.

Esperanza laughed."Oh yes,I am sure I want everyone to witness that!"She said.The two headed towards the forest.

Temon followed behind Esperanza. He could feel unwanted eyes upon them as they walked off together. He followed her to a same quiet clearing in the woods, where a small scream broke through and there was a hole in the canopy of the trees, allowing the night's sky to shimmer through. Temon looked at Esperanza. The moonlight hit her beautiful palomino coat gently and her eyes sparked along with the stars.

Her coat appeared white in places because of moonlight.She was beautifully dappled.Her body,looking marvelous,though she'd borne two foals,looking amazing.Her beautiful brown eyes stared at her handsome stallion.

Temon was starting to get excited. She looked almost like what she did when they had first met. Temon looked into her deep brown eyes, waiting for her.

In a soft,tempting voice,she then said."I await you,dear Temon."She turned the proper way towards him.

Temon walked over to her. Hoping everything would go right. He had not been with another mare for a while and definitely not when he had been with Esperanza for the has year or two.

"Lyra would be a beautiful name," Temon said as he laid down next to the water's edge.
