(Wow. No, I didn't!)

Horizongold nickered, then cantered away from Magicpetal, followed quickly by Dusksplash.

Magicpetal shrieked in pleasure and galloped after Breezebell. She jumped over fallen logs with ease and when she landed her legs were a blur, her aqua speckled in yellow feathers were floating behind her wake, and her brown mane and tail flowed behind her.

Breezebell galloped faster than Magicpetal and ended up having to slow herself down because she had gone too fast. She jumped a log and circled around in a very tight circle and passed Magcipetal. Redmoon nickered at her sisters movements and watched.

Magicpetal snorted. As Breezebell passed her, she stretched her wing outward and tagged Breezebell as she galloped by her. "Tag." she said, skidding to a halt, then rearing and galloping the other way

Breezebell had dodged and moved to the right and had avoided the tag. "Nuh uh! I dodged you!" She whinnied happily. She flew into the air out of reach and landed winglengths away.

Brightwing watched his foals play, feeling at peace for the first time in months. He looked at his mate. "You know what, our foals deserve to know what's been going on. When they finish playing, I'm going to tell them about my missions. They're over anyway."

(What's happening? I missed the part when Brightwing came back)

( So Brightineg came back, family reunion, and now the foals are all playing tag :) )

(So Brightwing hasn't said anything about what he found?)

(Nope, not a thing.)

(Okay, thanks)

( XD )

(When did River say she'd be back again??)

( By the end of this week I think )

(Tomorrow, Saturday. Maybe Sunday)

(I'M BACK!!!! I"M BACK!!!!!!!! YAY!!!! I MISSED THIS!!!!!!)

Starsummer nodded. "Alright. It's getting dark anyway, so they should be getting tired." she said, leaning into her mate. "Another thing you missed while you were gone, the Ancestors payed us a visit. A few weeks ago, the sky was filled with the blinding lights from the Ancestors. I saw me and my brother's parents. Darkstone saw them too. I'm sorry you missed it because I also saw your parents." she whispered to him, nuzzling his cheek with her muzzle

Horizongold and the yearlings played tag until dusk, burning energy and having fun while doing so. Horizongold managed to only break out in an “Aww” at Dusksplash four times. At the moment, Magicpetal was chasing his little cousin through the bushes. Horizongold slowed to a trot and listened to their happy nickers. “Okay, everyone!” he called to them, and the yearlings trotted up to him. “It’s getting dark, “ the young stallion said. “Time to stop playing. Rest well for flight school tomorrow.”

Dusksplash heard this and looked up at his cousin, bleating a protest. “I wanna play more!” he said, pinning his ears adorably. Horizongold thought it over. “Okay,” he said. “But when the sun finishes setting, we stop.” Dusksplash nodded, happy again, and tagged Silverflame. The others darted away.

Meanwhile, Breezecloud was talking with Brightwing. “Should the council meet on this subject tomorrow?” the former lead-mare asked.

(Sorry kinda long)

Magicpetal almost forgot about flight school and her wings buzzed with new excitment. But, her mind floated back down to earth when Dusksplash tagged Silverflame. She galloped aimlessly away, her mind somewhere else.
