Almost a month after the death of her mother, Morningleaf, had crushed her deeply Morningstar stood on a steep embankment, she watched her young foals running in the field below. She had been a mother for almost 2 years now. Her oldest foal, Smokeburst and her younger foal, Heatherblaze played tag in the field, Morningstar smiled against the sad memories in her mind, she remembered her sire's death and now her mother's. She felt the wind whip her face and smiled softly, her sire had shone her this place when she was very young. Her mate Stormblaze walked up to her. "Hey Morningstar!" He whinnied gently. Morningstar smiled and buried her head in his chest and he wrapped her in his wings. Starleaf looked up as his mate Shythorn looked at him. "Hey Shythorn how is Starflight?" He asked, talking about his 6 month old foal who was trying to fly. Shythorn laughed. "He well he is planning to run off a cliff and I told him to have an angry army chase him, that worked for Star!" Starleaf smiled at her but turned, "Where is Morningstar?" He asked after almost a month of not seeing her. Shythorn shrugged and smiled when she saw Larkfrost and her mate Clawpebble walk up to them leading a small speckled foal. "Hello Starleaf! Shythorn!" Clawpebble called to them. "We are here to call you to a meeting called by Morningstar," He said. Starleaf nodded and whispered to Shythorn, "Lets get Starflight and go to the meeting." He said. An hour later Brackensky walked next to her mate Bumblebreeze. They had been together for almost 5 years but she was saddened by not having any foals. She had wanted to have at least one foal but had not been able to since becoming Bumblebreeze's mate. They reached the council tree and took their places. (To be continued!!!!)

Dust fell softly in the warmth of the night, setting a cloud at the entrance of the meadows cave. Hooves could be heard pacing the flattened soil. They were shaping the cold, dusted floor with concern. “It’s taking them too long”, Palemoon let terror cascade from her voice. "They should have been back by now.” I just know it , she thought to herself. Heat swelled in her chest. The words she spoke, grieving every thought she conspired "Hey, relax. Silvermist, and Sandclip can handle this. Besides they’re with Snowdawn. If anything comes up they can take care of it…. They will not fail their given orders.” Snowborn expressed with conviction, as he glided closer to the cave entrance. His white coat glistened in the stars' approach. “Just because Snowdawn’s there doesn’t mean nothing can happen,” Palemoon mumbled. She was still pacing the cave sooted floor.. Her electric purple wings fluttering in frustration “You don’t have faith in my brother’s skills ?” Snowborn snorted, turning sharply, with an assertive look. “Snowborn, I’m just saying this might be something we should talk to Frostspite about.” Snowborn softened his gaze when he saw Palemoons unease .“You forget Palemoon, that Silvermist, and Sandclip are very capable of handling themselves. Even if my brother weren’t with them….. They would be safe.” “I haven’t forgotten... It’s just been almost half a moon..” Her heart felt lost, and conceded. Snowborn said nothing but contemplated the brilliance of the stars with deliberation. “Frostspite knows. He knows their mission.” Palemoon couldn’t hold in this displeasure she found in the unknown. She grew anxious. “Snowborn, you can wait” she puffed. “I’m off.” She stormed out of the cave shoving Snowborn to the side and glided into the dawning night. Black Sun: Part 5/ Sun Blown Snowborn raced after her without hesitation. His magnificent wings opened wide to their full length. He was faster than Palemoon. He had to catch her. "Palemoon! There's nothing you can do. You can't change Frostspites mind. Even if you could- you wouldn't be able to find them." Palemoon cocked her head as she flew faster over the forest. "..And you don't think we should do anything!" she said with a sad look in her eyes. "Palemoon they're not in danger." Snowborn voiced, now gliding right beside Palemoon. "You'll only be endangering yourself. I couldn't let-" "I'm volunteering a search party, Snowborn..." He couldn't help but shake his head. "You're not even on the Guard. Palemoon, land now." She gave him a look of reluctance but tilted her wings to descend. "I'm not going to let you run your mouth to Frostspite on how things should be done." "But that's not- He interrupted- " You're not going on some deadly mission to go find them... When they're perfectly fine." You have no training- I do t- He had to cover his wing over her muzzle "Not for this stuff Pale-- not for this stuff. Palemoon pulled her muzzle away. "I have to do something. I can't sit here while they're out in the wastelands." "How about this... If I promise to talk to Frostspite will you stop this nonsense?" "It's not non-" "Pale." "Fine, but you have to promise I come along!" "Let's go!"

Aquasun was scared to death. Her parents wanted her to start flight school. She couldn't even see! How did they expect her to FLY? "It'll be alright" Said Lightflame's comforting voice. She nodded and continued on. Their flight instructor was a mare named Shadepebble. Aquasun had heard amazing stories about how she helped Starwing and Morningcloud, she was a legend! "Ok, maybe I'll go to flight school today" Aquasun said. Lightflame already knew and had spoken to Shadepebble before, because his parents were very close friends with Shadepebble. His parents were Starwing and Morningcloud. He chuckled at her comment. "What! I want to meet Shadepebble!" She exclaimed. "Alright, who knows the basics of flying. Raise your wing if you do" Said Shadepebble. Aquasun didn't raise her wing, and she also knew that she was the only one with it down. "What's your name?" Asked Shaepebble's voice. Lightflame nudged her. "She's talking to you" He whispered in her ear. "Oh, my n-name is A-A-Aquasun" She said nervously. She heard a few quiet giggles escaping the other weanling's mouths. "Hey!" She heard Lightflame yell. But still, she heard whispers from them, like "Isn't she that blind filly I've heard about?" Or, "What's wrong with her?" Aquasun lowered her head. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea" She whispered to Lightflame. After flight lessons she still hadn't learned a thing! She was walking with Lightflame to Feather Lake. Aquasun felt a pain in the back of her head, then she was gone, unconscious. Sorry it was so long. Hope you enjoyed!))
