(I've been back for a few days)

(YOUR BACK!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!)

(Hold on, I'm going to make another part)

Blazefire to Bronzewing: The sight of Embermoon receiving the blow to her spine didn't even faze the former captain. Blazefire lashed his tail, "I will not apologize." he said defiantly. "Nothing you or anyone else does will ever make me regret what I did to your mate."

(RP unpaused)

(Ok, take your time. We all, want you to do well on your Cadet Leadership)

(Ok. Dragon, when do u think you will be caught up? I'm not trying to rush you, and if you feel rushed, I'm super sorry!!! I just LOVE DIS RP!!!!)

( ok me too )

Cloudroot to Embermoon: She saw, gratefully, that water definitely loosened the mare's throat. Embermoon could move her head freely now, and she bit into and swallowed the medicinal plants much more easily.

(Ok, but I'm going to write one more comment. Then I will be on pause too)

(Gtg to bed)

(Oh oops. Yeah, the last time I I checked there were 219 comments, and now it’s 308 I think)

( yeah sorry )

( but I have to go for the night byes )

(Haha! Our bad.)

(Holy cow guys, I walked away for an hour and a half and I come back to this)

(sorry, gtg eat supper. Migh† not be back till tomorrow, but I'll try to be back on tonight)

Elmshade to Cloudroot: -before she finished her sentence, he galloped into the sky. He found a creek, dipped his wings into the water and carried back as much water as he could as quickly as he could. He got to the cave and poured the water into her mouth, carefull not to spill a drop-

Cloudroot to Elmshade: "If she can't swallow, I can't give her any medicinal plants that are supposed to be eaten. Can you get some water for her? Maybe drinking will loosen her throat."

Elmshade to Cloudroot: "What herbs do you need? I'll get them in a heartbeat!" -but he could tell, that's not what it was-

Elmshade to Cloudroot: -his eyes flared open- "What!? What is it!?" -he asked, his eyes wide-

"I'm sorry," added Cloudroot. She then figured it wasn't time for moping, it was time to treat Embermoon. She directed Whiteshadow to get a few different roots and went over to Embermoon, asking questions. She would touch different parts of Embermoon's body, asking the mare if she could feel her touch. The answers were yeses for the head, neck, throat, wings, and tail, but everywhere else was a no. When Cloudroot touched Embermoon's withers, Embermoon shrieked but then the area went numb. "It's getting worse," Cloudroot said grimly. Whiteshadow came back with the roots and Cloudroot directed Embermoon to eat a few of them, although Embermoon seemed to have difficulty swallowing. "Oh, no," Cloudroot said to herself. "Oh, no."

(brb)

Elmshade to Cloudroot and Embermoon: -he looked from Embermoon to Cloudroot then back to Embermoon, until his eyes settled on Embermoon. He clamped his green wings ,tipped in white, to his back, slightly afraid for her. He leaned against the cave wall and tried to straighten out his thoughts-

Cloudroot to Elmshade: "The short answer is unfortunately yes, she can be paralyzed. We will do our best, but try not to get your hopes too high."

Elmshade to Embermoon: -when Cloudroot said "Paralyzed", he gasped and drooped his wings- "Wh-What? She can't be paralyzed." -he sighed and closed his eyes. Few seconds later he opened them, a fire burning brightly. He looked at each medicine mare with a firm look.- "You will fix this." -he said, sternfully. He folded his wings and craned his neck and walked to the edge of the cave, where Snowfrost was standing-

(Dragon!! Where are uu!?!!)

(Dragon, we need you!)

Bronzewing stopped, torn. On the one hand, he missed his mate and wanted revenge. On the other, he wanted to keep the trust of his former herdmates. He looked at Blazefire without malice in his eyes for the first time. "Will you accept a truce? I am offering a truce on two conditions: one, you apologize, and two, you don't try to get back at me for this."

Cloudroot to Elmshade & Embermoon, and other medicine mares: They managed to get Embermoon over to the medicine mare cave, where Cloudroot was briefly happy to see Snowfrost putting weight on his injured leg, that she had splinted. Pushing that thought aside, she announced to the steeds in the cave, "This mare put herself in the way of a serious kick and I think she is at least mostly paralyzed. If your case isn't too serious, please come over and help me help her." She tried to soothe the fuming Embermoon as she spoke.

Embermoon to Bronzewing she grunted. SHe flapped her wings and her body left the ground. She could only feel her wings now. "You call yourself an over-stallion!" She creamed. "If you kill this stallion I will hate you forever and tell everyone that their over-stallion killed another stallion out of grief," She realized she just made a nig threat but didn't back down.

Mintcreek to Embermoon: -she fluttered to her friend and exchanged breath. Then, she turned to Elmshade, furious.-

Mintcreek to Elmshade: "What. Happened." -she said, huffing, her ears pinned

Elmshade to Embermoon: -he stood tall and firm, allowing Embermoon to lean on him. He pulled in bright green wing over her back for extra support.-

Cloudroot to Embermoon and Elmshade: She leaned against Embermoon's body to try to support her upright. Grunting with exertion, she told Elmshade to support the injured mare's other side.

Embermoon to Elmshade: She tried to stand but fell in the process. "Yeah . . . i'm fie,"

Bronzewing to Elmshade: "I am so, so sorry," he whispered. He truly felt for Elmshade and Embermoon, but a good overstallion stands up for the herd, not one specific steed. That is, unless that one steed is his mate and was killed by a snooty and non-regretful stallion from another herd, he thought. If it had just been in battle and Dawn Herd hadn't been forced to join Glacier Herd, Bronzewing would have grieved in private and been more bitter for a long time, knowing he could not get revenge. But since they were in close quarters, he could not help himself. His mind made up, he advanced on Blazefire.

Elmshade to Embermoon: -Once he heard Embermoon's back cracking, he dashed over to her- "Embermoon! Are you alright?" -he pinned his ears at his own over-stallion-

(Does anyone know where Dragon is? Dragon, does Blazefire have any family living?)

Bronzewing to others: "That may be true, Embermoon, but I do not trust this steed. I doubt he will honor a truce and I think Anok would be better off without him anyway." He turned back to Blazefire and started walking toward him to continue the fight. He paused and asked Blazefire, "Will you honor a truce? I will not believe a hesitated answer."

Forestbeam to Crimsonstorm: The foals were content and she gazed at the beautiful bay. "How about we name the bay Redmoon?" SHe asked her attention to Crimsonstorm. He lifted his head and thought gor a moment. "Yeah . . . I like that!"

Emberblaze to Embermoon: -he watched in horror as the over-stallion delivered a lethal blow to his aunt. He was glad Magicpetal wasn't watching. He continued to watch the fight, half in horror and half in fasination-

Embermoon to Bronzewing: She glared and pinned her ears. "Then you will suffer your guilt from this day forward," She said. "You will have to deal with Blazefire's family and you will be accused for cold blooded murder," She snorted. "Breezecloud might have told you that but she told me something different," She said. "She told me we have to act like ourselves not who we aren't are," She said. "She told me we must think before we do," SHe growled. "Think about her words and you tell me if you've done the thinking part!" She whinnied and let Cloudroot tend to her wounds.

Bronzewing to Embermoon: her words made him pause for a moment but he then responded. "Breezecloud introduced this expression to me: 'Blood for blood.' Her blood is on the wings of this stallion, so his life will be on the wings of me."

Embermoont to Cloudroot: She bucked her back legs unintentionly and Cloudroot let go. "There's no reason to fight!" She whinnied. "Is this really what Breezecloud would want you to do? Kill someone out of grief?!" She whinnied.

Bronzewing to Embermoon: He was totally shocked, but tried to hide it. "What are you doing?" he exclaimed. "You may as well just have killed yourself! And to answer your question, this stallion delivered the deathblow that killed my mate. He and I agreed to a fight so that I might return the favor. Now move so I can finish him."

Cloudroot had come out of the medicine mare cave after finishing Snowfrost's splint in perfect time to see Embermoon crippled over in pain next to Bronzewing and a stallion she didn't recognize. She hurried over without asking questions and managed to get Embermoon out of the fighting arena.

Embermoon to Blazefire and Bronzewing: Her head shot up at two stallions fighting in the distance. SHe mumbled something under her breath and cherged at them. Just before Bronzewing had delivered the deathblow, she had pushed Blazefire out of the way and Bronswing struck her on her backbone. SHe heard somewhat of a crack and callopsed. SHe couldn't feel her legs. SHe felt her whole body go numb from the blow. "What . . . is . . . . wrong.. . . . with you . . . . . stallions!" She whinnied.

( yeah me too )

Bronzewing to Blazefire: "I cracked your wings, if you were unaware," he said as the circled menacingly. He then charged, teeth bared to Blazefire's throat and hooves lashing the captain's chest. Blazefire retaliated with a bite to the withers, which Bronzewing ruled as too far, even though it was a fight. He reared up, flared his wings, and delivered a potentially lethal kick right between Blazefire's eyes. He landed on all fours quickly, in case the other stallion had survived and had a retaliatory move.

(sorry, my mom wanted me to take a break from screens. I'm back now)

(Flamefrost? Dragon?)

Starsummer to Bronzewing and Blazefire: -in the distance, she heard the fighting stallions, but she didn't go and check them out because she wanted to stay and see if the medicine mares needed anything-

Emberblaze to Bronzewing and Blazefire: -he also heard the fighting stallions, but he didn't know why they were so angry. He stoped suckling and walked around Starsummer to watch the fight. He saw a roan stallion strike Bronzewing on the sholder. He watched intently, fasinated by the two fighting stallions. He watched them carefully and saw their tactics and strategies. Everytime one of the stallions attacked the other, Emberblaze watched them like a hawk.-

Blazefire to Bronzewing: "This." Blazefire kicked up with his good rear leg, pushing Bronewing away from him. Then the former captain rolled to the side and jumped back onto his hooves. He stood there, and in a mocking voice he said, "What? are you going to go easy on a crippled stallion?" Blazefire hobbled forward a few steps. "Well that's your mistake!" The roan stallion lunged at Bronzewing, striking his hoof on the over-stallions shoulder.

(Yep, and Bronzewing knocked him over and is standing on his wings. This is that comment, on page 8)

Bronzewing to Blazefire: The former over-stallion said nothing and started walking in a menacing circle around the captain like Rain in Spirit. He stared at Blazefire's eyes intently and waved his wings deliberately, quickly in the other steed's face, making him blink. Immediately, Bronzewing barreled into him and knocked him over. He stood over the fuming captain, hooves on the other's wings. "Now what are you gonna do?"

(Oh yeah... those two, I think Blazefire kinda just challenged Bronzewing to a fight)

(I think we need to resolve Bronzewing and Blazefire first, but ok)

Dappleroot to everyone in the cave: Dappleroot was super thankful for Cloudroot's help, in addition to all the cuts and scratches pegasi had received in the battle with Dawn Herd, these new injured pegasi where making the small medicine den way over crowded. The former Valley Herd medicine mare was doing her best to move pegasi out as fast as possible, and so was Whiteshadow, but there was only so much the pair could do. One more set of wings was just what they needed.

(Wanna skip forward a couple hors or days?)

(oops)

(You guys went loco wile I was at church)

Horizongold to Magicpetal: "You're welcome," he said softly, then, seeing she was asleep, acted on Cloudroot's instructions.

Emberblaze to Magicpetal, Snowfrost, and Cloudroot: -he frowned, but sulked to Starsummer who was grazing nearby and suckled-

Magicpetal to Horizongold: -she looked at the yearling colt with sleepy but thankfull eyes. She took a deep breath and whispered.- "Thank you." -before she drifted into a deep sleep-

(it's fine)

Cloudroot to Emberblaze: She smiled at the young colt, but gently asked him to leave. "Your sister--I assume this is your sister, from seeing you come into the cave-- needs to rest. She's had a rough day and she is quite likely exhausted. Same as for this steed here." -gestures to Snowfrost- "You'll see them soon and they'll be better, but please be patient."

(Sry, that took me a long time)

Emberblaze to Magicpetal and Snowfrostl: -after hearing about his sister's and Snowfrost's condition he raced over to them- "Are you okay?" -he asked his sister and wrestling partner-

Magicpetal to Emberblaze: -she opened her eyes to the sound of her brother's voice, but didn't raise her head. She tried to speak, but nothing came out. She was still very weak and tired, so she just looked at Emberblaze pitifully-

Cloudroot to others in cave: She turned away from Forestbeam's new foals, after politely requesting that they leave the cave so that she could tend to the other injured pegasi. The four of them left and Cloudroot busied herself with the injured. She walked over to a white steed who was limping heavily on his foreleg. "Can I look at this?" she asked. Snowfrost nodded, grimacing. Cloudroot left momentarily to get a splint for is leg, as well as dig up a few pain-killing roots. She came back to the cave and started tending to Snowfrost, wincing sympathetically to his cries of pain. "Eat these," she said, offering him the roots she had collected. He chewed and swallowed, and she went about making and setting the splint.

(Awww!!!! Okay!)

( I gtg )

Forestbeam to Magicpetal and SNowfrost and everyone in cave: She looked at the injuered steeds. "What happened?!?!?!" SHe said worriedly. One of the fillies stopped nursing and looked at Magicpetal. She squealed in fright and tried to dash behind Forestbeam but failed and fell to the ground. Forestbeam nudged the filly up and whsipered into it's ears her words soothing the filly. The filly went back to nursing.

(here. Sry)

Starsummer to Forestbeam: "Cogradulations." -she said, looking at the foals. But her attention went right back to Magicpetal, who layed in a tired heap on the cave floor, her sides still heaving-

Darkstone to Snowfrost: -he and Brightwing also lowered Snowfrost into the den next to Magicpetal. Darkstone tried his very hardest to not make Snowfrost in even more pain. Once Snowfrost was laying on his side, in a some-what comfortable position, Darkstone released his wing. He trotted out to Goldenstream and Emberblaze and told them what was going on.-

(I think green for one of them)

( i'm still coming up with colors but idk yet let me think for a moment )

(maybe, but for the bay how about Dusk-something? And what colors are their wings?)

( those don't sound like filly names so how about . . . . . REDMOON maybe? I think it's pretty good )

( awesome but you missed Forestbeam giving birth LOL )

(it's fine, Nightmist. Now, names? Redsplash, Darkshine, Flameshade, umm . . .)

(Ok, I'm back!!!)

( Sorry that took so long )

Forestbeam to foal 1: She nickered and stood her legs tender like a newborn foal ( pun unintened ) and nudged the foal into her side. The foal bleated and sucked warm milk. She tuned to the other foal and pushed it over to her opposite side and into her. The foals suckled happily opening and closing thier wings. The fillies were beautiful. Crimsonstorm nuzzled Forestbeam and whispered. "I'm glad they wre born and we're a family," "Me too," Whispered Forestbeam as the fillies suckled.

Cloudroot to Forestbeam and foal: "It's okay, little one," she said, smiling gently. She pushed on the filly's stomach more and the filly emptied her throat of the fluid, and therefore stopped coughing. Turning to Forestbeam, Cloudroot helped her calm down enough and the second foal was born uneventfully. "Congratulations, you two." Cloudroot said warmly. She watched the two foals totter unsteadily to Forestbeam to nurse.

( *pushed )

( yeah i am so sorry I didn't comment sooner I didn't see the new page )

Forestbeam to CLoudroot and Crimsonstorm: SHe saighed relief and nuzzled the foal but still felt contractions. "Ahhh. . . ." She said. "There's . . . another one" She said. She pushed as hard as she could with her remaining energy. Her born filly bleated and bleated. Water splat from her throat from the remains of the birth sack. The filly was nuzzleing everywhere, trying to find food. She winced as another contractiong gripped her. Ears poked from her. She pushed and [ushed.

Cloudroot to Forestbeam: she had invited Crimsonstorm in to watch, but then returned to Forestbeam's side. She could see the head and neck of the foal and encouraged the mare to keep pushing. The foal--a filly-- eventually came out, but Cloudroot could tell something was off. She examined it more closely and suddenly was alarmed. "It's not . . . "

"What?" asked Crimsonstorm, starting to panic.

"It's-it's . . . dead." said Cloudroot sadly. "But wait!" She started pushing rhythmically on its chest and all of a sudden it started coughing. She opened its mouth and took out the remnants of its birth sac, which it had choked on. "She'll be fine," the medicine mare to the now-beaming Crimsonstorm.

(the other one will be alive, because I think Forestbeam and Crimsonstorm shouldn't have to be sad)

( Hello? )

( hmm idk . . . . . . I guess? It just makes more sense for the second one to be born dead and I don't why )

Forestbeam to self: She pushed for an hour straight.

(I think it should be the first, so that she gets discouraged but then has a living foal to be proud of)

Cloudroot to Forestbeam: "good, good. You keep doing that and I'll go get your mate to see your foal.)

( oh . . . . . . umm sure? yeah that's fine how about the second one born? )

Forestbeam to self: She relaxed. She felt another contraction and pushed. It passed and another came. She groaned but pushed as hard as possible.

Crimsonstorm to Forestbeam: He nuzzled her one more time and trotted out of the cave. He paced and paced.

(K, but can one of them be stillborn? meaning born dead)

Cloudroot to Forestbeam: Okay, but the important thing is to calm down. You seem keyed up and that won't help. Let the contractions happen and push as hard as you can when you feel them.

Forestbeam to Cloudroot: She nodded frantically and swallowed, fear of the foal or foals dieing in the process.

( I think she's gonna have twins? Yeah twins )

Cloudroot to Forestbeam: "Is this your first time giving birth?"

Forestbeam to Cloudroot: She wheezed. "I . . . . " She felt a kick. "Help . . . . they're . . . . they're coming!" She whinnied. She looked at Cloudroot, sweat dripping down her chestnut hide. She swallowed. "My foal!"SHe whispered.

Below Magicpetal, Cloudroot was lost in thought as they approached Glacier Herd's territory. She was recalling the brief battle between Glacier Herd and Dawn Herd.

Cloudroot had seen Breezecloud receiving the deathblow and watched the dapple gray lead mare fall. She looked back up and saw the stricken expression on Bronzewing's face. She rushed to the lead mare's side and looked for signs of life, but the Glacier Herd army landed before she could do so. "Bury her," a Glacier Herd steed commanded Cloudroot. The medicine mare had nodded subserviently. She soon had a shallow grave dug out and she, along with Horizongold, had managed to move Breezecloud's body into it. As the two of them worked, Cloudroot was talking in a low voice. Horizongold had assumed that the medicine mare was talking to herself, but she was talking to the still form of Breezecloud, for she could still see life. She told her everything that had happened from the deathblow onward. "Glacier Herd's army arrived unexpectedly," Cloudroot told her. "You suffered a kick to the head, but luckily that steed wasn't very good at deathblows. I can tell you are alive, but it needs to look as if we are burying you. This soil is lightweight and I will make a cavity of air around your head, so wen you wake up you can dig your way out. Please try to get to Glacier Herd's territory quickly, for I fear Bronzewing will need you desperately. If you are in fact dead, rest assured that I will carry out the funeral rituals. I hope to see you again sooner than the Golden Meadow, Breezecloud. Farewell until we see each other again--wherever that may be." With that, the gray pinto mare turned and flew away to join the rest of Dawn Herd.

She came out of the daydream as they landed in the medicine mare's cave in Glacier Herd. She turned to Whiteshadow, who seemed to know what to do. "I was the Dawn Herd medicine mare. My name is Cloudroot," she said respectfully. "Do you need me to do anything?"

(I'm sorry, but I have to go. We can contiue later)

(Ok.)

Starsummer to Brightwing: "Help Darkstone with Snowfrost." -she said taking off with one of Magicpetal's wings in her teeth-

Darkstone to Brightwing: -they grabbed Snowfrost, lifted him off the ground and flew back to Glacier herd.-

Starsummer to Magicpetal: -once they got there, she and Horizongold carefully lowered her into the den. When her hooves touched the ground, she collapsed in the cave, still very exhausted-

( ok )

(sorry my phone's autocorrect is stupid, and it was lagging. I'll type it here, but it'll probably take a while)

(HERE)

( Hello? )

Crimsonstorm to Starsummer: He nodded frantically and very quickly. He heard a high pitched squeal come from the medicine den. "Please! Hurry!!!!!!" He whinnied. He flapped into the air and dashed to the medicine den. When he was inside he nuzzled Forestbeam. SHe groaned in pain.

( ok I was waiting for Flamefrost to get done typing )

( I gtg soon. Just FYI.)

(Annyyoonnee?)

(Hewwo?)

Starsummer to Crimsonstorm: "Now!?" -she groaned and flapped her wings, waiting on Horizongold-

Darkstone to anyone: "Could I have some help wih Snowfrost?" -he said, flapping his wings-
