Darkstone:
He cantered over to his sister.
Starsummer nickered a greeting to her bro. "So, when are you going to ask her?" she asked, quietly.
Darkstone looked at his sister, perplexed "Ask what?" he said, nuzzling his sister
Starsummer rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me. When are you going to ask her to be your mate?"
Darkstone tossed his head. "It's not the best time....with the war and everything...besides, I already promised myself to ask her after the war, when it's safer..." he said, hoping Starsummer would drop it. Starsummer looked at her younger sibling with kind eyes. "Alright Darkstone, but I'm just letting you know, Whiteshadow is a great mare. Not everyone can get a mare like that." she said, bumping his hip with hers. He nickered, admitting it. "Yeah..she's pretty great..." he said, half asleep. Starsummer nickered and the siblings fell asleep side-by-side.
(OK)
(I posted it)
(I'm going to make part 22 real quick)
Silverflame to Goldenstream, Emberblaze, & Magicpetal at the Glacier Herd Army Training Grounds:
Silverflame exchanged glances with his friends, "I wonder what's gotten under his fur." he said allowed.
Shadowstar to Silverflame:
"Yeah, well I am fine with being by myself," he said tired of feeling like he was in his brother's shadow. Shadowstar, yeah that name fit alright.. With that, he took flight and landed on the other side of the field under a large maple tree.
Silverflame to Shadowstar in the Glacier Herd Army Training Grounds:
Silverflame was taken aback at his brother's tone, "I just thought you might want to have some company wile we're on break." he said.
Shadowstar trotted over to where his brother was standing. "What do you want?" he asked letting his disgusted tone of voice take over.
(Gotcha)
(I just realized that since Magicpetal and Horizongold are a thing, Shadowstar isn't being shipped with anyone)
Silverflame to Shadowstar at the Glacier Herd Army Training Gounds:
Silverflame spotted his brother, who appeared to be glaring at their father. He rolled his eyes, Shadowstar had held some unexplainable grudge against Moonwing ever since he was born, and it didn't appear to be getting any better between them. "Hay Shadowstar," Silverflame called to his brother, "Come and join us!"
Shadowstar looked over and saw his father talking with Horizongold. While he wasn't afraid of his father like he had been as a foal, he was still not a big fan. His father pushed him beyond his limit and made him nervous. Shadowstar never knew how his father would react to something. Shadowstar was also starting to feel slightly jealous of Silverflame. It was clear that Moonwing adored him, and Silverflame was a much better warrior than him, and in Shadowstar's opinion, more handsome.
Moonwing's chest swelled with pride at the mention of his son. "That is good news. We will most certainly be ready for them by then."
(Sorry about that Flamefrost. What time of year is it right now anyway?)
Whiteshadow to Jaggedwing in Glacier Herd's Medicine Mare Den:
Whiteshadow had been working most of the day on Jaggedwing, after she had finished changing his dressings, she also collected moss so the old over stallion wouldn't have to be lying on the ground. Whiteshadow had also made a few trips to a near by stream to fetch water for Jaggedwing as well.
After she had returned form one of her trips to the stream, Whiteshadow did what she had been doing with the other water she had brought back, and carefully squeezing the moss that held the water so it trickled into Jaggedwing's throat. But this time, as soon as the water touched him, the over-stallion's eyes popped open. Jaggedwing was awake!
Snowfrost to Coalblaze in Cave Herd/Glacier Herd:
Snowfrost rolled his eyes, "Don't worry, we can get pretty cold during the winter," he said, "But during the summer, our territory can get just as hot as Flame Herd territory easily."
Redmoon trotted over to Emberblaze, Magicpetal, Goldenstream, Silverflame, and Shadowstar. She stood beside them and grazed on the grass. She tilted her head up and met Breezebell's eyes and gestured for her to come over. Breezebell smiled and trotted over happily. "You will always be welcome Breezebell," Redmoon whispered. Breezebell nickered. "Thanks. Just got a lot on my mind right now," She answered. Redmoon nodded and continued grazing.
Coablaze:
He smiled at Mintcreek and turned back to the others. "I actually think I might like the cold.... I have no idea why but I'm always eager for new things..." He murmured.
(Horizongold, not Horizonblaze)
Horizongold was reluctant to correct the stallion, but he felt that he had to. “We have only been in army training for three days. Before that, flight school was in effect for a few months. So, as you might expect, army training hasn’t gone wonderfully. But we are progressing. You may be satisfied to hear that your son Silverflame is one of our best performers so far.
Are we ready for a Flame herd attack? No, not yet. But thankfully, we don’t need to be yet. Bronzewing found two survivors from yesterday’s Flame herd skirmish and they provided intelligence that Flame Herd won’t be attacking until late autumn or early winter.”
Briarcloud:
After she had made her announcement, she flew down form her ledge, followed by Mistcloud, started giving orders to her captains.
Twigstrike:
"Nice to meet you," said Twigstrike, happy that he was already making friends with his new herd mates.
(He also has a crush on Breezebell)
(Twigstrike is my OC, and he's the grandcolt of Jaggedwing and Briarcloud)
Moonwing nodded at the stallion. "Horizonblaze, how is the warrior training coming? We must be ready for an attack from Flame Herd."
(Thanks Flamefrost. Who is Twigstrike?)
Shadowstar glanced up at Magicpetal quite often. Occasionally she was looking at him too. When this would happen he would silently scold himself for watching her, but soon enough he was looking back at her again.
Horizongold noticed that he aeemed to have gained the attention of Moonwing. He cantered up to the impressive pale buckskin stallion. “Yes?”
(Riverstar, you may not know exactly what some things we refer to are, but feel free to ask. G2g to bed.)
Mintcreek:
She looked over at a mare talking with Coalblaze. She walked over and heard her last statement. "It's actually not that cold. You'll get used to it. By the way, I'm Mintcreek." she said, holding out her wing to shake
( gtg )
( XD )
(LOL I like this Pondfeather character)
Meadowstorm felt a bit if apprehension mount in her chest. ‘But this is home,’ she thought. Nevertheless, she flexed her wings to prepare for the flight and decided to fly over to Twigstrike. She was prepared to fly anywhere in Anok with a good friend by her side. “Ready for life in the cold?” she joked.
Faloncgrain narrowed his eyes grudgingly and muttered something under his breath.
Coablaze:
He nodded, still not buying it completely but let it go. The had arrived at their starting point and he smiled. "So how did you like my 'cave home' as you would call it," He nickered.
Mintcreek:
'Yeah..well...uh....I guess she didn't know the answer..." she said, hoping he would buy it.
Darkstone: He glanced over his shoulder and smirked playfully at Falcongrain.
(here)
( Hello? )
Coablaze looked over his shoulder suspiciously, obviously not buying it. "Alright then....It's just my mother answers pretty quickly when it comes to caves," He said, a little smugness to his tone.
Falcongrain:
He twisted his ears at Twigstrike's and Darkstone's conversation and rolled his eyes, disgusted.
Mintcreek;
"Nothing. I just asked her a question about the caves and it took her a while to answer, probably because it was a hard question." she said, shrugging as though it was no big deal
Coablaze turned his head and sighed. "Yay you two are finally done! So what did she say to you?" He asked trotting forward.
Mintcreek;
She trotted out of the cave to meet up with Coalbaze. "Hey..."
Darkstone:
He nickered. "I'm Darkstone." he said, friendly
( TWIGBELL TWIGBELL TWIGBELL TWIGBELL!!!!!!!!!!! COALCREEK COALCREEK COALCREEK COALCREEK!!!!!!!!!!! :D )
Pondfeather blinked and burst out laughing. "Woo-wee! You have got a handful of a stallion on your hands there! He's pretty stubborn and protective might I tell you! But of course, I won't tell him," She nodded. "Now run along. I have got to go find that dingbat of a love of mine.." She murmured.
Coablaze:
He was waiting patiently in the cave, waiting for the two mares to be done talking so they could go.
( back )
Twigstrike:
Twigstrike jumped when one of steeds form Glacier Herd spoke to him, then instantly felt embarrassed, that even a stallion he had never met knew he had feeling for Breezebell, "I'm sorry, I don't think we've been formally interduced, my name is Twigstrike,"
Darkstone ,who had watched Twigstrike talk to Breezebell and could see the love between the two, and he flashed a flirty smile at Twigstrike and he nudged his friend on the shoulder. "Now that you live with Glacier herd, you might finally be able to talk to that cute chestnut pinto that you were staring at yesterday." he said, winking
Twigstrike:
After his Grand-dam finished speaking, Twigstrike felt joy surge through him. Maybe now he would be able get to know Breezebell.
Silverflame:
Silverflame nickered a greeting back at Goldenstream, and continued grazing, casing occasional glances at the chestnut filly.
Magicpetal:
She nickered a friendly greeting to Shadowstar.
Goldenstream:
Sent a smile at him, but continued grazing
Mintcreek:
"Uh.....just the fact that I like your son, but please don't tell him....I'm not sure how I feel about it yet...." she said, now blushing wildly
Shadowstar saw his brother grazing with Goldenstream and Magicpetal and buzzed over near them. He dropped his head standing a few feet away and began grazing.
Pondfeather sighed with relief. "thank you. Thank you so very much. Now I'll be off to find my mate in the old abandoned caves.....again..." She snorted with a laugh. She then eyed Mintcreek skeptically. "Why are you blushing young one?" She asked.
( brb _
Magicpetal:
She trotted over to join Silverflame. She nickered a greeting and grazed.
Goldenstream:
She trotted oer and stood beside Magicpetal, not looking at all ashamed. She nickered a greeting to Silverflame and started grazing. She glanced at him every once in a while, but usually kept her eyes on the grass.
Mintcreek:
She watched the mare with great intesity. "Of course. In fact, I also draw a liking to your son." she said, once the mare was done speaking. She glanced back to Coalblaze, who was outside the cave. "He's safe with me." she vowed, slightly blushing
Moonwing surveyed all of his warriors. "Warriors of Glacier Herd, we have accepted Cave Herd to become part of Glacier Herd. They will be joining our training in the next few days. Accept them well." He turned to go seek out Horizongold to ask how the training was going.
Redmoon's head turned towards Moonwing but she dipped her head to graze a bit on the grass there.
Coablaze and Pondfeather looked out of their cave and nodded to Briarcloud. A strange sadness hung in the air. Pondfeather turned to her son and nodded once. Coablaze sighed and looked back at Mintcreek. "We'd better go. They're waiting for us," He said, trotting to the back of the cave and continuing into the pit of darkness. Pondfeather turned to Mintcreek when they were alone. "I think he has a grown a liking to you. I hope you will stay good friends with my son...I might not be around much longer....Nor will my mate..... He has just been alone with no friends for so long......He was always building things as a weanling and was made fun of for it....," She sighed, and then met Mintcreek's eyes. "Take care of him for me when I'm gone, please?" She begged.
Mintcreek:
She was snapped back from her daze at the sound of Briarcloud's voice. She trotted to the mouth of the cave and looked out into the valley. She turned to Coalblaze and his mother, "You two might want to hear this." she called to the two as their lead-mare talked
Silverflame:
He trotted away form the rest of the yearlings and started hungrily nibbling on the grass
(YAY)
Emberblaze:
He along with all the other yearlings, were about to break for a grazing break, but then Moonwing landed and all attention went to him. Emberblaze flicked his ears toward the stallion, awaitng an order.
( HERE )
Moonwing looked up from his filly. He decided that it was time to check on the training of the new warriors for the coming battle. He marched out of the cave, spread his wings and took flight. He landed in the middle of the field being used for training. All of the steeds stopped what they were doing when he landed.
(Thanks so much Dragon!!)
Horizongold and the other instructors gathered at the head of the trainees in formation and briefly discussed how the younger, new members had done in the bearings test. Oceangold stepped out of the small huddle and addressed the group. “Grazing! Twenty minute break! We will break into our flights afterwards! Stand down!” she barked.
Briarcloud:
Briarcloud stepped out of her cave, and stood on the ledge outside of it. "Pegasi of Cave Herd!" said Briarcloud, making her voice loud enough to be heard by all, "As all of you are aware, Jaggedwing embarked on a journey yesterday to request that Cave Herd become part of Glacier Herd. Today, we were visited by a group of pegasi form Glacier Herd, and informed us that Jaggedwing was brutally attacked by Flame Herd steeds, in an aggravated attack. Our over-stallion survived, but was unfortunately unable to bring us his news himself. Glacier Herd has granted his request, Cave Herd is now part of Glacier Herd."
(So I'm going to give you a run down on all the stuff that is currently a major part of the story line:
A year has passed since Glacier Herd started it's quest to unite Anok, and now Glacier Herd consists of pegasi from Valley Herd, Dawn Herd, Ice Herd, and Frost Herd, as well as their own steeds. Mistcloud has been out on a scouting mission for the past few months, and on her return she brings both good news and bad. Her good news being that she was expecting another foal, and the bad news being that Flame Herd, led by Cherrycloud is planning to wage a war with Glacier Herd.
Shortly after the birth of Mistcloud's foal, a filly named Pearlsong, Glacier Herd has flown full force into battle preparations, and the council had authorized the training of yearlings to join the army. Midway on the second day of the yearling's training, Glacier Herd got a visit form Cave Herd's over-stallion, Jaggedwing. He wanted to join Cave Herd with Glacier Herd, but the council declined his offer, and told Jaggedwing that they wanted him to prove that he wasn't going to betray them.
So Jaggedwing returned to his herd, but on the way back, his steeds and their Glacier Herd escort got attacked by Flame Herd steeds, but managed to drive them off. All the members of that party made it out mostly unscathed, except for Jaggedwing, who had many of his bones broken and is currently still unconscious.
The next day Mistcloud led a group of steeds to speak with Briarcloud, Cave Herd's lead mare, and to offer to let Cave Herd join Glacier Herd. Briarcloud just accepted the deal, and is now about to announce this to the wrest of her herd.
That about sums up what's been going, and I probably should mention how your various OCs have been brought into the story:
Shadowstar is in training as a spy
Moonwing had been spending most of his time watching over Pearlsong [btw I hope you don't mind that I gave him a few words here and there])
(That would be really nice!!!!! If you don't mind. I am going to try to keep up with this from now on.)
(Do you want a summery?)
(AH!!! This exploded!!!!!!!! I have missed so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Shadowfire stood next to the stream and chuckled quietly as he saw a handful of Cave herd yearlings and weanlings playing in the showering spray. He knew that the waterfall was part of the stream that supplied the caves with water. As a former Sun Herd understallion, he had blended with Mountain Herd and gained intelligence on this territory. The final verdict was that even though the northern part of Mountain Herd territory was humble in appearance, it was a highly hospitable and beautiful area. Shadowfire snapped back to the present as Mistcloud and Briarcloud came out of the cave in which they had been talking.
Briarcloud:
Briarcloud wasn't at least surprised by Mistcloud offer. "Jaggedwing made the decision that he wanted Cave Herd to join Glacier Herd. I accept your offer."
Mistcloud looked relieved, "I'm glad you agree."
"I will start preparing to move my herd as soon as possible." said Briarcloud, "You and your patrol are welcome to stay with us until we are prepared to leave."
"Thank you," said Mistcloud, "We will stay and help with the preparations."
(awwwh...ok bye :'(
Coablaze nickered in amusement. "Yeah. I can only see it as home but sure," He nickered. Pondfeather nickered also.
( gtg )
Mintcreek:
Her jaw gaped open and she stood at the entrace looking straight up. The ceiling was so high you could practice flying. She walked in slowly, careful not to step on the moss beds or the bright feathers. "This...place.... is amazing!" she breathed, wordless. Her jaw was still hanging open. 'Look at that view!" she breathlessly said, looking out of the mouth of the cave. She turned to see the spring and her mouth gaped open even wider. "I-I..... this....Oh my! It's....it's..." she said, searching for the right words. "Breathtaking...... she said, her eyes dancing
Coalblaze trotted in front of her mother who opened her mouth to protest but decided it better not to. Coablaze led to a cave that was dark inside and went on for a while. They trotted through it, there hooves echoing and the little drops of water from the stalagtites made wonderful music. The finally came to a large room in the cave with another mouth at the end. When you looked out of the mouth, you could see the mountain peeks and the valleys beyond. There was a spring off to the side that bubbled like a creek. There were bright feathers. There were light pink ones that belonged to Coalblaze, ocean ones spotted in pink that belonged to Pondfeather, and dark pink feathers that belonged to Coablaze's father. There were three moss beds in a row and grass shavings inside them. All in all, the cave had many faults, but was home.
Mintcreek:
She smiled from ear to ear as she followed the mare to a nearby cave. She lifted her head and looked up, looking at the caves at the top of mountain. Then, she turned her head and looked at a mountain in the distance. She could barely tell, but there was a large circle in the mountain-side and huffed in amazement that the caves connect from down in the valley to a far away mountain.
Pondfeather shook her head. "Nonsense, nonsense! My young girl it will do no harm to have a quick look-see!" She chuckled and winked. Coalblaze rolled his eyes at his mother and laughed. "Just follow me," Pondfeather said, and turned around and trotted slowly away with Coalblaze following a little ways behind her.
Mintcreek:
She gasped. "Could I?" she asked grinning, but her smile faded as she glanced up at Mistcloud in a cave. "I-I shouldn't...I don't want to get in trouble."
( Yes of course )
(Nightmist, can you please add Pondfeather to the character post)
Pondfeather chuckled again and Coalblaze smirked in amusement at Mintcreek. "then why not come see!" She exclaimed. Coalblaze glanced at his mother, but hid and other feeling he might have had to that idea.
Mintcreek: Her eyes widened in wonder at every sentence. "Wow! I grew up in Dawn herd, nothing to exciting. But, that sounds awesome!"
Mistcloud:
Mistcloud left her steeds to mingle with the Cave Herd pegasi, and followed Briarcloud to the leaders den. When Mistcloud entered it took a few minuets for her eyes to adjust to the light inside, but once her eyes did, she was amazed by what she saw. The floor of the cave was covered in brightly colored feathers, and the walls had tiny gem stones imbedded it. The light that was streaming through the cave's entrance bounced off these gem stones, and it gave the den a magical feel. In the very back of the den, there was a small water fall trickling down the rocks, and landing in pool.
"You've never seen anything like this, have you?" said Briarcloud, and Mistcloud turned to face her, and saw that the older mare's eyes were sparkling with pride.
"No I haven't." admitted Mistcloud, "But that's not the reason I wanted to talk to you."
Briarcloud flicked her ears, "Then what is?"
"As I sure you know, Jaggedwing came to talk to us about Cave Herd becoming part of Glacier Herd." began Mistcloud, "My council had a long discussion about this, and we deicide that we wanted Jaggedwing to prove to us that his purposeal wasn't a trap. Well, as I said out there, he and his patrol were attacked, and then the Flame Herd pegasi off out land. Me and Glacier Herd's council are in complete agreement that is enough to prove that Jaggedwing's request was genuine. I would like to offer Cave Herd a place in Glacier Herd."
(Yep Coalcreek's cuter)
( Yeah and......
*Coalcreek XD )
(I think Coalcreek is a really cute ship name)
Mintcreek: Her eyes widened in wonder at every sentence. "Wow! I grew up in Dawn herd, nothing to exciting. But, that sounds awesome!"
Pondfeather chuckled. "It's very...cozy, in a way. We use moss and grass shedding for our beds. There is a spring in every cave and there is a passageway to a pond underground that all the weanlings and yearlings love to play in," She explained. 'There are a lot of advantages when living in caves,"
Mintcreek:
She could tell that Coalblaze was upset about something, but she didn't ask, nor did she care. She looked at Pondfeather. "I already asked your son this, but how do you like living in caves?" she asked
( XD )
(YAY!!! COALCREEK/MINTBLAZE!!!!!!)
Pondfeather nods respectfully and then leans over to Coalblaze. "She's real cute," She teased. Coalblaze pinned his ears and narrowed his eyes at his mother. "Be quiet mother," He whispered/snapped.
( back )
(ok bye)
( brb )
Mintcreek:
She turned to the mare and bowed. "The pleasure's all mine." she said, smiling
Coalblaze turned to Mintcreek. "Uh.. Sorry Mintcreek this is my mother, Pondfeather. Pondfeather, Mintcreek," He gestured to them at the right times. Pondfeather grinned and old lady kind of grin and dipped her head in greeting and respect to Mintcreek. "It's nice to meet you Mintcreek," She said kindly.
Mintcreek: She glanced at the mare, but didn't say anything. Instead, she continued to look around.
Coalblaze searched through the crowd of steeds and spotted a white coated mare with shimmering ocean like feathers. He instantly brightened and whinnied to the mare. The mare turned and an expression of long waited relief crossed her face. Coalblaze nickered at her expression. "Come one down mother!" He called. The mare nodded once and opened her wings to fly down. She landed a few feet away from Coalblaze and held out her wings to hug him. They both embraced each other for a long moment and then Coalblaze pulled away. He examined her expression and rolled his eyes. "Where did he go now mom?" He asked accusingly. The mare bit her lip. "He got went to the abandoned caves again," She said. They both sighed annoyingly at the same time.
Mintcreek:
She listened to him with awe. She had always loved to explore and she always wondered what living in Caves was like. She nodded in understanding, then left him alone. She looked around some more and saw that more steeds were coming out of caves and staring at them. "I guess I look just as different to them as they look to me." she thought ,watching them
( XD I get the 'sirs' sandwhich thing )
(ok cool!!)
