*Sorry it's another short one : ( I'll try to post another one later today*
Ashwind sagged against his mother at hearing Stormwing's news. Of course, he had expected it. But knowing it was coming didn't soften the blow of it any less.
The herd rattled their feathers. Some reared, and others were just stunned.
"I will go with a captain and his best warriors to try and negotiate." Stormwing said. Suddenly Flamefire, Lightbreeze's sire, flew up out of the crowd. "I'll go," He volunteered.
"No. You need to stay and protect the herd. We are migrating, and that makes us vulnerable to attacks." Stormwing said.
"Sir. My filly was captured, too. I will do anything and everything in my power to get her back if negotiating doesn't work."
Stormwing sighed. "All right. Gather your best warriors. We leave in ten minutes."
Flamefire nodded and flew away. Stormwing dismissed the meeting, and walked off to consult with Brightcloud, Leaving Canyon Herd stunned and Ashwind in his misery.

Really good, Stormwing seems is a much better overstallion then Hawkwing!
He is. He always puts his herd first and will do anything to avoid war. Canyon Herd is a fairly small herd, so he does everything in his power to protect the steeds. : )
@Riverglade But he does NICE stuff to avoid war, right?
