Windwing: -raises neck and stands proud and tall, then gallops towards the stallions holding Wispiflower-

Rainblaze: -bites Racewind’s neck until he lets go of Wispiflower-

Emeraldblaze: -watches the fight and stays hidden deeply in the trees-

Wispiflower: -kicks the other stallion really hard and blood pours from the wound so quickly that it kills him-

Hollylight: -stays huddled against her sister-

Whitefrost: -gallops to go help his sire and dam as much as possible-

-kicks a small stallion in the leg grounding him-

Mapleglade: -leaves the small stallion knowing he is young- -pins ears at him, and he takes the warning-

Small stallion: -gets up and semi-limps-gallops away-

Wispiflower: -gasps- Whitefrost you go hide this instant!

Junetree: -rears and kills both stallions holding her within two minutes- -races to go help Coperpool-

Whitefrost: -shakes head and notices Crimsonwind-

Crimsonwind: -notices a stallion his age and almost the same size as him- -pins ears and charges-

Whitefrost: -rears and clashes with the weanling colt-

Crimsonwind: -bites his own leg by accident, not used to fighting-

Wispifrost: -rushes in front of Whitefrost- Don’t hurt my brother!

Whitefrost: -sighs, grateful for his sister’s help- -bites Crimsonwind’s leg, the same leg Crimsonwind bit himself-

Wispifrost: -stares at the stranger colt and says in her head “Wow, he’s handsome!”- -shakes head “What am I thinking? He’s the enemy!”-

Crimsonwind: -lands on three legs with one bleeding and swollen- -lifts into the air-

Crimsonwind: -finally notices the pretty filly- -widens eyes and slightly gasps-

Wispiflower: -passes out-

Racewind: -waves around sleeping herbs-

Whitefrost: -lifts into the air along with the other colt, his violet wings flapping violently-

Windwing: -holds breath, resisting the herbs and charges Racewind-

Rainblaze: -runs back to her fillys and hides deep in the thicket-

Mapleglade: -tries to hold breath too but passes out-

Racewind: Take them once they all pass out and follow Mintbreeze to their valley- -stops to defend himself and sticks the herbs right under Windwing’s nostrils-

Coperpool: -breaks free and gallops to hide with his family-

Junetree: -passes out-

Windwing: -bites Racewind’s wing with the herbs in it, accidentally biting a bit of the herb but causes Racewind’s wing to be torn and bleed-

Windwing: -immediately faints-

Crimsonwind: -didnt know about the herbs and faints along with Whitefrost-

Racewind: -holds back tears of pain- Take them!

Stallions: -take the pegasi straight to the valleys-

Wispifrost: -passes out last-

Mintbreeze: -waits outside to lead them-

Mintbreeze: -watches the stallions carry out Windwing, Wispiflower, a colt and filly, Mapleglade, Junetree, and a filly- -head counts the stallions, only finding 14- Where are the rest?!

One Stallion carrying Windwing: -pins ears- 4 were killed, 3 ran. Racewind is getting your fainted colt.

Mintbreeze: -shakes head annoyedly-

Racewind: -takes hold of his colt and flies him to the valley-

-hours later lands with the rest of the stallions- Well Done troops.

Mintbreeze: -lands next to the stallions carrying Windwing- Drop him gently..

Stallions: -gently drop him-

Mintbreeze: -nuzzles Windwing’s cheek and breathes in his scent- Finally.. your home

Rainblaze: -quietly exits the grove and whinnies to Coperpool- They’re gone.. all of them!

Mintbreeze: -suddenly remembers something- Racewind, where are Rainblaze and Coperpool?

Coperpool: What?!

Racewind: Ummm...

Mintbreeze: Well?

Rainblaze: -lowers head in sadness-

Wispiflower: -wakes with a start- Where am I?

Junetree: -wakes at the same time- Hey!

Wispifrost: -wakes up face to face with Crimsonwind- Ah!

-jumps to her hooves and dashes to her mother- Mommy, What is happened?

-dashes to her father and bites his ear to wake him-

Racewind: We could not get them...

Windwing: -stirs and jumps up-

Wispifrost: Daddy! Who are these pegasi?!

Whitefrost: -opens eyes and looks around- Where are we?

Mapleglade: -wakes up next to his nephew- What happened??

Wispiflower: -glares at Mintbreeze- She got us.

Windwing: -looks around and spots Mintbreeze staring at him- Of course. -stands up and walks over to Wispiflower, deciding to forever ignore Mintbreeze-

Maytree: -jumps up- Where...? -dashes for her mother-

Whitefrost: -looks at the bay mare- Is she the bad one father?

Wispifrost: -gasps- Are... are you Mintbreeze?

Windwing: -nods and snorts-

Mapleglade: -stands next to Junetree and whispers- Be careful..

Mintbreeze: -tries to act like a nice-friendly-“good-to-be-Windwing’s-mate-mare- Yes, who are you? -talks kindly-

Windwing: -whinnies to his filly, hoping she would get his warning-

Wispifrost: -backs away warily- Mommy says you’re mean and she doesn’t like you, Daddy said the same thing

Mintbreeze: -feels blood start to boil- Oh.. why do they say that?

Windwing: -whinnies to his filly again-

Whitefrost: -mumbles under breath- She’s the cat. Curiosity kills the cat.

Wispifrost: -backs toward her sire slowly for protection- Because you tried to take Daddy away from Mommy

Mintbreeze: Oh? Where did you hear that?

Wispifrost: -scowled at her brother-

Whitefrost: -smirks-

Windwing: -pins ears at Mintbreeze-

Wispifrost: -makes it to her father and stands behind him- From Daddy and Mommy and auntie Junetree AND unclie Mapleglade

Mintbreeze: -nods angrily-

Wispifrost: -shakes a bit but looks at her strong sire knowing he will protect her but wants to make sure- Daddy....

Windwing: -uses wing to lead Wispifrost away and whispers- Lets go

Whitefrost: -pins ears at Mintbreeze and walks off-

Wispiflower: -pins ears and takes up the back of the group-

Maytree: Daddy, I’m scared. -hides head in his mane-

Mapleglade: I know.

-nudges her and Junetree- Let’s follow Windwing

Junetree: -pins ears- I’m going somewhere else.

Mintbreeze: -stomps hoof and swats silky, sassy tail at Windwing- -turns and walks off in a different direction-

Mapleglade: Uh ok. Lets go Maytree

Crimsonwind: -finally wakes up next to his sire- -gets up and looks at him- Who’s the mare you like?

Maytree: -walks off with her sire and waits till she is out of ear-shot Of Junetree- Told you Daddy, I told you. You are being cranky and it rubbing off on Mommy and then you will fight and then I will only have one parent!

Racewind: -rolls eyes but acknowledges the question- That mare with Windwing. Her name is- I Mean was Wispiflower.

Mapleglade: -rolls eyes- How am I being the cranky one? Your mother is the one who stomped off

Crimsonwind: -perks ears- Is she Wispicloud now?

Maytree: -wise beyond her years- But you got mad at her for a silly reason first which made her upset and stubborn.

Mapleglade: What did I get mad at her for?

Racewind: Yes- why am I telling you this?

Crimsonwind: -shrugs-

Maytree: Nothing! There was no reason to be mad!

Mapleglade: Exactly. Nothing. Your mother got mad for no reason. End of discussion

Maytree: But you did get mad

Mapleglade: When?

Maytree: Yesterday

Mapleglade: What happened yesterday?

-doesnt remember from the sleep herbs, and doesnt know why Junetree was so angry-

Windwing: -looks back and sees Mintbreeze nowhere- I think we’re good

Junetree: -walks up solemnly- Maytree, leave and go see Wispifrost for a minute.

Maytree: Oh- Okay. -trots over to her cousin-

Junetree: -turns full attention to Mapleglade- Tell me What is bothering you, I can tell from looking in your eyes there is something wrong.

Wispiflower: -sighs- Phew.

Mapleglade: -looks at her- Nothing’s wrong with me! I dont know what you mean

Windwing: -nods and nuzzles her softly- Dont worry about this. We may be captured, but we will not be killed or hurt. And no one, not even Mintbreeze or Racewind, will come between us.

Whitefrost: -turns away from his parents’ moment and gags-

Wispifrost: -slaps her brother and continues watching her parents with dreamy eyes-

Whitefrost: -pins ears at her and wanders off, not wanting to watch-

Crimsonwind: -starts to walk away and sees a colt, the same one he fought with earlier-

-raises head and perks ears-

Wispiflower: -relaxes for the first time in a few hours- -nuzzles him back- You’re right.

Wispifrost: -spots the colt she blocked from attacking her brother earlier- -thinks to self- It wouldn’t be to bad if I thought a villain was cute, right? -shakes the thought out of her head and walks up to him boldly but curiously- Hi, what’s your name? I’m Wispifrost.

Windwing: -moves away muzzle and looks around- We are at the north end of the Prairie Grass Mountains. The herd is not far from here, only about 50 miles

Crimsonwind: -looks at the filly- -thinks- She’s kinda pretty.. -snorts- Crimsonwind. -stands tall-

Whitefrost: -rolls eyes and raises neck, taller than the bay colt by about 5 inches-

Wispiflower: -looks around, getting the same information as he got- That’s good news, I thought maybe they took us to the interior again.

Windwing: -nods and looks around again- Half a mile away you can see the edge of this crater. It is almost two miles wide, 10 feet deep, and a mile across from the north to the south.

Wispifrost: -thinks- Wow, even better up close... what am I thinking?! -shakes thoughts out of her head again- So, who’s your parents? Are you part of banished herd?

Wispiflower: -cocks head- Whaaaat?

(North to south is 2 1/2 miles across now, and you get the rest)

Crimsonwind: -pins ears at the question- Why do you need to know?

Wispifrost: -shrugs wings, ignoring the angry tone in his voice- Curiosity is what it’s called.

Wispifrost: My parents are Windwing and Wispiflower.

Crimsonwind: -groans, but says this not knowing better- My sire Racewind loves your mother, and my dam Mintbreeze loves your father

Whitefrost: -snorts- Like we havent noticed

Wispifrost: -evil eyes brother and turns back to Crimsonwind with soft eyes- I don’t blame you for it, it’s your mother’s fault you’re even in this mess. -wing palm- Not that it’s all your mother’s fault that she loves my father...

Crimsonwind: -sighs and looks at the filly- I dont know my parents’ evil ways. They’re crazy

Wispifrost: -awkward silence- So.... you don’t love them? Orrrrr... I like your eyes-

-another awkward silence-

-looks at Whitefrost for help-

Crimsonwind: -paws ground and stays silent, but feels heart jump at her compliment-

Whitefrost: -shrugs at his sister, letting her take care of it for herself-

Wispifrost: -glares at her brother- -turns back to Crimsonwind briefly- Excuse me.

-escapes to her mother- Hi Daddy, hi Mommy.

Wispiflower: Hello sweetie

Windwing: -looks at her- Why are you so jumpy? -says in a joking way-

Whitefrost: -looks at Crimsonwind- Do you know much about your parents?

Crimsonwind: -speaks softly and sadly- Not really.. only that they don’t love each other. Mintbreeze only had me to fool Windwing. -looks at the ground- They don’t love each other. I dont know if they even love me..

Whitefrost: -widens eyes-

Wispifrost: -holds head high- I don’t know what you are talking about father

Windwing: Mmm hmm

Racewind: -trots up- Crimsonwind, why are you talking to this colt? -looks the colt up and down and realizes he looks exactly like Wispiflower and must be his colt- Ah, you’re Wispiflower’s colt right? -says in friendly voice-

Whitefrost: -tenses up- -stammers- Uh.. y-yes..

Crimsonwind: -says nothing-

Racewind: Well hi there, I was one of your mother’s friends, so don’t be nervous. Do you have any siblings? -asks casually and friendly still-

Whitefrost: -nods slowly-

Racewind: -smiles- What’s your siblings’ name?

Whitefrost: Wispifrost..

Racewind: That is a pretty name! Where is she?

Whitefrost: Over there.. -points to her with wing-

Racewind: -nods- She is pretty like her mother

Crimsonwind: -nods crazy unknowingly-

Whitefrost: I guess..

Racewind: -looks at Crimsonwind kind of funny then turns attention back to the other colt- So, What do you do with your sister for fun?

Whitefrost: -shrugs- Race... make fun of each other, I don’t know I guess

Racewind: -nods- Sounds fun

Whitefrost: -nods slowly-

Racewind: -nods pleasantly- I assume Windwing is your father?

Whitefrost: Yes. -raises head, suddenly realizing who this may be- Are you Racewind?

Wispiflower: -notices her colt with Racewind and whinnies to him- Whitefrost, come here!
