As day broke, the lead mare was already awake. She was pacing a short distance away from her family, thoughts racing through her head. This was the day the council had decided to announce that they would be training yearlings to be spies, battle aids, and to be a last ditch resort if things went bad.
Pegasi were starting to stir, and Mistcloud knew that it was almost time to drop her bomb shell. If things when to plan, the yearlings who agreed to join Glacier Herd's army would be pulled out of flight school, and would be starting battle training tomorrow.
Emberblaze woke up with the rising sun and stretched his wings. Magicpetal was up, too, grazing nearby. His parents where walking toward Mistcloud, who looked anxious. He shrugged it off and trotted toward his lilttle sis. "Hey. Excited about today?" he asked, flapping his navy blue wings.
Magicpetal: "Yes! I'm so ready." she exclaimed, prancing lightly on her hooves
The lead mare took a deep breath as Brightwing, Starsummer, and Moonwing walked up to her. "We're almost ready." said Mistcloud, "Just waiting on the last few council members to get here."
The yearling colt woke up when Moonwing left to join Mistcloud, and the other council steeds. Something seemed a bit off about them, but he ignored the feeling, and trotted off to join Emberblaze, and Magicpetal
Skywing and Bronzewing arrived at the council clearing at the same time as each other. Breezecloud followed a bit behind, having made sure her newborn son was asleep. “Who are we waiting for?” she asked Mistcloud as Shadowfire walked up to join them.
Crystalcloud and Maplewing landed. "Sorry we're late. We sleep on the other side the other valley, past the trees and intothe woods, so it took us some time getting here." the former lead-mare said, folding her wings and she landed with a graceful plop
The lead mare flinched, the council must have neglected to inform Brightwing of the decision that they had made in his absence. "After I got back from my scouting mission, we agreed to start training yearlings as messengers, spies, and battle aids."
Embermoon had trotted up beside her brother but didn't say anything.
Redmoon: Redmoon tossed on the grass valley floor. Her eyes shot open and she was drenched in sweat. She breathed heavily, swallowed, and managed to stand up and look around warily. Breezebell had already made her way to their friends and Redmoon trotted after them. "Hey," She said as she cantered up to them and stopped beside her sister.
(Good point. We did say that they would put flight school on pause bc Mistcloud wanted some yearlings in the war. So, should we do it after today?)
(Hmm, I have an idea)

(That'll work!)

(I gtg soon)
(I thought there was going to be, say, two or three more flight school lessons before army training, not just one more.)
Skywing and Bronzewing arrived at the council clearing at the same time as each other. Breezecloud followed a bit behind, having made sure her newborn son was asleep. “Who are we waiting for?” she asked Mistcloud as Shadowfire walked up to join them.
(Gtg to bed)

Mistcloud:
"I think that's everyone." said Mistcloud, in answer to Breezecloud's question, "Are we ready to do this?"
Breezecloud started to get confused. “Ready to do what?” She asked. “Aren’t we just listening to Brightwing talk, then discussing what he said?”
Starsummer looked at Mistcloud's expression. "No. I think there's more than that." she said, pricking her ears
(hello?)
Mistcloud:
"Don't you remember? This is the day we all agreed on to announce to the herd that we'll be training yearling to join he army."
Brightwing tensed. "When did we decide to put children in danger? Our children?"
