Description

You bring the sun into my life
When all the day's colours are grey
I can see the rainbow's end


100 themes Challenge: 70. Rainbow

This is my entry to =silverglass19's competitions.

I'm really pleased with this! It was my first time drawing a foal, and I really like how the anatomy don't suck that much. I know there still are errors, but I feel happy to notice how the anatomy is getting better and better.
I originally coloured this with pencils, but my oh-so-lovely-scanner raped the pic so bad I had to re-colour it digitally :'< I also changed the lyrics in the pic, I first planned putting on another quotation.
I hardly ever take part to the contests, not because the task wouldn't be interesting but because of the time lines. I've never been good with dead lines, and usually it takes me time to make up a good idea for the entry; when I get one, the time's almost over. Luckily not this time ^^

But, next the info including the story, I hope it's interesting as asked :3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Foal:
Name:
Kalo

Gender:
Stallion

Age:
Young, few weeks.

Identification:
Black Moss Bacabello

Base:
Kalo is 3/4 pure bacabello, and his body's going to be alike with his mother's, a little stronger. Base coat is black, and the markings are mix of his parents with something original.

Markings:
He inherited the same dark, forest green Moss colour from his father.

Tattoos:
Not yet, he's likely going to have one.

Abilities:
Not yet known

Nature:
Kalo is curious and lively foal, but knows when it's not good to leave his parents' side. He's calm for foal, but still playful, and is also open to knew things. He's somewhat reserved with strangers, especially adults, but acts friendly. He loves clovers, their flowers to be specific. They taste great.

Stallion:
Name:
Maez

Age:
43

Identification:
Liver chestnut Moss Bacabello

Base:
Maez is only halfbred bacabello, due his father was a normal horse. Excluding the bacabello markings, Maez is a classic example of Finnish breed called 'Finlands horse' (Suomenhevonen in Finnish). He has semi-long, almost silky mane and long tail.

Markings:
Maez has greyish 'forest' green markings which are symmetric to both sides except the ears: left ear is fully green and has two 'holes' on the both sides showing the base colour.

Tattoos:
Has the one only in left side, doesn't go over the back.

Accessories:
Two rings on the left leg over the knee, made of Jasper-stone.

Abilities:
Can make himself invisible, but the scent doesn't disappear.

Nature:
Maez was closed and depressed for a long time because of his brother, but got his old self back after meeting Akhalaia. He's friendly and open even with strangers, and it's easy to befriend with him. He also knows the treasure of privacy and silence, but still isn't afraid of crowds. He's calm in tough situations, and doesn't give up easily. He's very gutsy, and wants to end what he once started. That also makes him really stubborn, and it's difficult to change his mind if he's once decided something. Maez has good nerves and it's difficult to make him angry, but if something he loves is in danger or being insulted he's not afraid to help them almost fiercely. He uses violence only as the last resource, but he tends to exaggerate and be overprotective when it comes to his family. He hears from it from Akhalaia.

THE Story:
Maez got a happy foalhood, but like many other young stallions he soon got debared from his herd. With his younger brother, No'chi [noh-khi] they travelled across the land, trying to find a place to stay, but no one accepted them. But they never gave up hope, after all, they weren't alone like many other young stallions - they had each other.

But it was going to change.

No'chi was very energetic and adventurous, and wanted to explore every new place that came into view, even if the place was somehow out of reach. Maez loved his brother so much, and had a soft place to his pleas. He knew someday something would go wrong, but couldn't do anything about it. One day, they got too deep into a wolfpack's territory. Maez was just and just fast enough to run away, but later he realized why: because his little brother wasn't.

Maez was broken. He was all alone with no where to go - sure, he never had it int the first place, but at least he had someone to search it with. No he was alone. For sometime he managed to move forwards, but the power of sadness was too strong and he stopped eating. Not far from collapsing he met Akhalaia - silent but somehow understanding mare. Having nothing else in mind, Maez promised that he would help her to search her family for a while. The travelling Maez had begun with the new companion wasn't much different from the old days with No'chi, and slowly Maez realized he was developing feelings towards the bay based mare. She knew how he felt, they thought similary, they understood each other. Time passed and feelings grew, giving birth to their son, Kalo.

Maez never forgot No'chi, but was happy he survived. His new family is everything to him, and he wants to protect them with all he has.

Extra:
About the names:
Kalo: 'Kālo' means black in romania, the font didn't have enough letters.
Maez: Was supposed to be Mežs which is 'forest' in Latvia, but became that because of lack of letter and after a typing mistake.
No'chi: Came from 'noki' which means soot in Finnish, just twisting it.
The other line for these two:
Like a star in my night
You'll always be a part of me

Hitomi ~ Boku wa tori ni naru (I'll become a bird)
