Cliffwing reared, trumpeting to the whole herd. “I have an announcement!” Starmist looked around anxiously, wondering where her mother was. She saw Ashtree, who was pacing, and Seastorm, who was standing close to Oakflight. But no Lakeberry. The lead mare Ambercloud was standing close to the front of the group, but she looked scared and was closer to the edge of the group than usual. What was up with that? A quick glance told her that Seastorm had noticed, too. Cliffwing called again, then said, “There are some traitors in our herd. These pegasi were disloyal, helping free prisoners from the cliff caves. Bring them out!” he added. The huge stallions who were Cliffwing’s biggest supporters came out of the trees, dragging three pegasi with them. Icefire, the captain who played with the foals and helped take care of them, was one of them. The second was Bluemist, the medicine mare’s apprentice who would become a full medicine mare soon. Starmist fought back a gasp. The third was Lakeberry, her mother! Starmist looked back at Cliffwing. He had come closer to the pegasi. “Traitors!” he shouted. “Those pegasi were innocent and you know it!” responded Lakeberry. Cliffwing said, “they are gone, but you will never do anything like that again.” His voice was as hard as stone. Starmist heard the crack of hoof against bone, and heard the screams of the pegasi. She had seen Cliffwing ground one pegasus this way, after a battle. He broke the wings at the root, then twisted them hard. The steed could move their wings, but they could never fly again and suffered pain for a year. The normal punishment for treason was death, but this was much worse. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ambercloud beckon her with her wing, then melt into the forest shadows. Starmist followed her.
