Urd came from a strong family, the males always being raised for warrior duty while the females were raised similarly for protection of the clan's foals. She, however, was born sickly. No matter how hard she trained, she would come down with illnesses easily and her frame would just not support the strength her family was known for.

Eventually her family gave up on forcing their traditions on her. Thus Urd spent many days curled up in thick blankets watching the warriors train from her bedroom window. One of these days she met the curious male Raphael, who would bring mountain flowers to her window every day to cheer her up. It almost seemed like the small gestures of affection were healing her saddened heart, giving her more energy to move about and go outside with her brothers and sisters.

Seemingly healing and on her way to full health, Urd continued to accept Raphael's courtship until they eventually married. Urd wanted a son that she could teach the pride that her brothers and sisters held every day. Once she got pregnant, she always spoke to her growing belly, glowing with love and happiness that echoed strongly in Raphael.

"You will be my pride and joy, and the pride of your grandparents." She would tell her belly. "No one will keep you from living the life you choose."

...But then she caught ill in the last month of her pregnancy.

Her fragile immune system shattered as her child stole more of the energy she needed to stay healthy. She held on every day, begging any force she could think of that she could at least bear her son into the world safely. That he might live the life she could not.

How she made it to her final days was never clear. Some say Raphael begged the fairies that Urd loved so much to give his frail wife the strength she needed to last until their son was ready. Some say it was a final burst of strength her family was known for that helped her hold on. Either way, little Baltasar was born safely. A strong colt with a healthy wail that soothed the hearts of all who heard it.

...Except for Urd. Who never got to hear her only son's cry.
