Holy pegasi!!!! We are already on 12!!!!! It feels like yesterday we were on 7!!!!!
Here ze last comment from 11.
Redmoon to Horizongold: She nodded and turned back to the breeding ground and left them to talk. She trotted up to one of the trees and put her wing on the skin or bark of the tree. She pulled her wing away when she felt prickley thorns slice through them and flapped her one wing to free her of blood. She then looked at the other trees a bit confused.
Let's DO DIS!!!!!!!!
( HERE )
Emberblaze noticed that Redmoon was in his group and his heart soared. He opened his wings, feeling her eyes on him. He wished he could walk over and talk to her, but, Cloudroot was about to give instructions.
(Anyone here!????)
(AAGGH!!!! SRY!!! At a riding lesson!)
Magicpetal trotted over to Breezbell happy to see her friend. "Hello, Breezebell!" she nickered. She flapped her aqua wings and smiled. She wasn't the most skilled flier, but she always tried her best at anything she tried, and that is what was important to her. Magicpetal went from a long legged, skittish filly, to a sleek and slender, slightly muscular, determinded yearling and she was happy with the change, although she didn't feel any different. Horizongold led the group toward the pond, and Magicpetal was as excited as ever. Some of the yearlings glanced at her sideways and some snickered quietly, "I didn't know they let weanlings join flight school." a lage yearling stallion snickered quietly to the palomino. Magicpetal heard the remarks the foals said, but she just stuck her nose in the air, and pranced, showing off her brightly colored wings. Also letting her teasers see she wasn't afraid of them.
Embermoon nodded swiftly and dashed into the air quicker than lightning leaving a cloud of dust and flew to the group and nodded respect to Horiozongold. "Today you will be learning landing and turning technices and skills," She said loudly.
Redmoon to self: Oh man..... Emberblaze grew..... I didn't even notice! He looks so more mature and handsome now.... She had been put in the group with Emberblaze and wasn't sure why. She ahd landed and took off very well but she didn't know what they were getting at. Breezebell had gone to Embermoon's group and they were seperated. She waited to hear instructions from Oceangold.
Oceangold: "It's okay," she said when Embermoon arrived. "How about you go with Horizongold to do landing and turning?"
(me too. Riverbreeze? U here?)
(gtg)
Magicpetal was the first to lift off and fly after the flight instuctor. Emberblaze glanced at Horizongold and tossed his head as if to say, "If you're gonna make a move, do it quick.". He lifted off, without doing anything else, and followed Magicpetal. He cruised next to her. "Oh man! Not the apple orchard! I have bad memories from here..." he said, recalling the wasps. Magicpetal nickered and glided swiftly down and landed in front of Cloudroot, Emberblaze landing next to her. Magicpetal pranced ,excited. Seconds later, all the other foals, landed and chattered excitedly, some bragging about flying experience, other complementing one another's wings. Magicpetal shook all the voices off and only focused on Oceangold, her eyes blazing.
(OOOOOOHHH!!! Sry! I was geting mixed around with names)
(NOW I have to go)
(Here for a few minutes, and Cloudroot is the medicine mare. Do you mean Oceangold, the flight instructor?)
(no, she only focused on Cloudroot because she was excited.)
(Hello?)
( ok. And don't you mean Horizongold, not Cloudroot?)
Horizongold noticed Magicpetal in the growing crowd and he smiled, wanting to start forward, but Oceangold was talking again.
"Flight school trainees!" she called. Many of them settled down and quieted, but a wingful were still chatty. She trained her gaze on one part of the crowd who were the noisiest. "First rule: When either Embermoon or I raise a wing, everyone pays attention and quiets down. Got it?" A general chorus of "yes" was the reply and she nodded, then continued. "Very well. Now that I see how many of you there are, I know that I will need assistance from some trusted assistants." A few of the students nickered at the pun, and she grinned at them. "So, my son Horizongold is with us and will be with us for a while. He is not a student, as my mate has trained him well already. Horizongold will be acting as our guard and demonstrating a few moves that we will be going over." She paused, making sure that they all heard her. "So let's go to the flying area!" She led the ensuing dash into the sky and flew them to the apple orchard.
(Flamefrost? U here?.....pls be here!!!!)
(Why do we need to update the character post?)
Horizongold was having similar reflections while training in the united herd's army. When he had turned two, he had joined the army. His father, as co-commander of the army, pushed him hard, but Horizongold willingly accepted the challenges with determination. He was eager to please his father and quickly got the hang of fighting. Today, however, he was distracted. Today he would be going along as guard for his friends the yearlings in flight school.
Right on cue, Oceangold appeared in the large meadow that Dawn Herd had originally landed in, which was now being used as an army ground. Oceangold went up to Shadowfire and talked with him quietly. Horizongold knew what was coming, and sure enough, Shadowfire raised a wing to signify that the army steeds be quiet. "Horizongold!" he called. Horizongold trotted up to the hillock his parents were standing on. "Yes, sire?"
"You are relieved of your duties here for the next moon cycle," his father said. "I understand that you will be acting as a guard for the yearlings in flight school. Good luck, and you may go."
Horizongold nodded respectfully to his father and followed Oceangold out of the meadow, to the other steeds in flight school; his friends from several months ago. His heart quickened a bit at the thought. Since he had started the army, his time was mostly taken up by training. The opportunities to visit friends had been few and far between. It would be nice to talk with Emberblaze, Silverflame, and Magicpetal again. He could help Silverflame and Emberblaze with the troubles of young stallions and basically anything. He especially wanted to talk with Magicpetal. He had been starting to have more feelings for her but again, was too busy to discuss them. He looked forward to flight school to be able to do that.
(WOW that was long!)
Horizongold: "NO NO NO NO . . . I will . . . NO NO NO NO. . . ."
Redmoon watched him and made a very annoyed face when he kept on saying NO. "Please stop......That's getting VERY annoying.... -.- " She snorted.
( back )
(Anyone here?)
Horizongold: "NO NO NO NO . . . ." -continues for like two hours- When he finished saying "NO" repeatedly, he went to find his father. He wanted to address the wasp issue. "Sire," he said when he caught up to him, "can we talk?"
"Sure," Shadowfire replied. "What about?"
"The apple orchard. There's a wasp nest in one of the trees and two of my friends were stung."
Shadowfire frowned. "That's a nuisance," he said. "I'll see what I can do."
Redmoon to Emberblaze: "In what?" She asked.
Emberblaze just rememebered Cloudroot's words. "Oh, yeah!" lifts off swiftly and hovers over the heads of the foals. "Anyway, who wants to go first?"
( just finished reading.... :P )
Redmoon to Cloudroot: She nodded and glided out taking her advice and nudged Emberblaze. "She said more flying than walking silly!" She nickered.
(Yay!!!!!)
( FINALLY I'M BACK PHEW )
Emberblaze: "Yes, the white root is taking the pain away, but it's kind of numb. I can still feel my lower leg, just on my flank in some places." he informed her
Emberblaze winced as she poured water on his stings. He sucked in his breath as she wrapped the bandage around him. "Ack!" he grunted, flinching away from Cloudroot
Redmoon shifted her leg and lifted it and set it down. "Good as new!" She nickered with a smile upon her face.
When Cloudroot was done rinsing out the wasp stings, she took a few chunks of a white ball-thing that grew in the willow grove outside and crushed them. She put them in a leaf bandage and tied the bandage around the stings on Redmoon's leg. She repeated the whole process on Emberblaze.
Redmoon winced because, for one, it was on her bad leg, and, two, because it bruned when the water touched the stings on her bad leg.
(Okay, that makes more sense now)
Cloudroot smiled sympathetically when she saw Redmoon's anxious face and she guessed the reason for it. "I know," she said. "This must not be your favorite place, huh? Well, this shouldn't take that long. Just let me clean out where the stingers hit you, then I'll put on a little bandage." She reached out gently with her wings to touch the two stings. She had a small amount of cool water cupped in one wing and she poured it over one of the stings.
(Wait what? She didn't get an injury while in the medicine mare cave.)
Redmoon gulped and hesitated before going on. The Medicine Cave scared her mroe than anything because of her injury she had gotten and had to stay there for a long time, but she stepped inside.
Redmoon thought about that and shrugged half nodded. "I guess...." She said tiredly. She cantered forward to Emberblaze and trotted to the front to lead the group. Breezebell took the rear also with Horizongold and walked with them.
(Yeah oops)
(What? I think you meant to put that on the RP chat.)
Emberblaze groaned. He didn't want another trip to see Cloudroot, but the wasp stings were getting sore and he didn't want to admitt it, but he felt nauseas from the poison. "Alright. Fine. I'll go." he said, weary. He opened his wings to fly, but his wings were still wet, so, he limped off toward the clearing, grunting if he put weight on his back legs.
( gtg )
( Helol? )
Redmoon shrugged. "Depends," She said smiling. She trotted up to him and bathed in the sun also. "Why does the sun look so beautiful? Any ideas? EXSPECIALLY the sunsets..." She said, gazing at the sun but wincing of course. Breezebeel nickered but didn't say anything.
Emberblaze looked down again and couldn't help but grin at her. Her warmth was starting to warm him up, but his wings were still wet and his tail dripped with water. Magicpetal burst out of the trees ,looking worried. Once she saw Emberblaze she galloped foward and wrapped her wings around him. "Emberblaze! Are you alright? You're freezing! You're coat is so cold!" she said, letting go of him and looked up at him, concerned.
Emberblaze to Magicpetal: he smiled and nuzzled his sister, "I'm fine. Thanks for wondering." he said, trying to stop shaking.
Redmoon shook her head, sitill having her wings wrapped around Emberblaze. "I'm fine. There's no stingers," She said, smiling at him to comfort him. It was that flirty but kind smile that would always reasure and mezmorize the stallions and the other pegasi.
Emberblaze to Redmoon: he suddenly became more concerned abut Redmoon than he was about himself. "Do you want to go see Cloudroot? I don't want your leg to get infected...again." he said, still shaking
Emberblaze to Horizongold and Redmoon: he was still shivering, but nodded "I got a few on my flank, but I'm okay, just cold." he said through chattering teeth. He looked down at Redmoon and it took all his strngth not to lower his head and nuzzle her. But, he just smiled thankfully at her.
Redmoon galloped to Emberblaze and wrapped her wings around him to warm him. "You okay?" She looked with passion and helped him walk and warmed him with her body heat, so she stood next to him and wrapped her wings around him to warm him.
( back )
Emberblaze saw the lake coming up. He craned his neck to look behind him, the wasp's were right behind him, some even stinging him they were so close. He pinned his wings and dove into the lave, the frigid waters surrounding his body. Like he expected, the wasp's followed him into the water, drowning as soon as they hit the surface. He stayed underwater for a minete, letting the freezing waters numb the stings on his flank. Once he felt like his lungs were going to burst, he pattled to the shore and erupted out of the water, flinging his forelock out of his eyes and gasping for breath. He waded onto the shore ,letting his wings drag, and took a deep breath, starting to shiver because of the freezing temperature.
