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, Oceangold was about to give instructions.

(Again, Cloudroot is the medicine mare. Either Embermoon or Horizongold)

Horizongold heard that remark and gazed steadily, threateningly at the yearling who had said it. “Fair question,” he said. “Mistcloud said to include weanlings in flight school so our army is larger, more organized, and has more energetic warriors.” This was said in a somewhat loud tone so everyone could hear him and no one realized what he was thinking. But Horizongold sidled closer to this yearling and muttered, “She isn’t a weanling. In fact, I’ve been observing you and this yearling filly you insult by calling a weanling is a better flier than you already. So shut your mouth.”

(AAGGHHH!!! I'm so sorry! I get tottally mixed around!)

(Fixing....)

Magicpetal turned around to Horizongold's voice and saw her talking to the palomino and large yearling colt. All the foals were quiet. The colt swallowed and nodded. "I'm sorry, sir." he said, in a flat voice. Magicpetal pricked her ears, not understanding, but when Horizongold took his place back at the front of the line, the young pegasi started to chatter some more. Most of them looked from Horizongold to the colt then back to Magicpetal. She snorted loudly and lifted her tail higher. She turned away from the pegasi and trotted off to catch up with Horizongold. She went next to him. "Thank you." she said, sweetly. She looked up at Horizongold and saw that he had also grown. She cocked a smile and stared at the ground, not realizing she was blushing.

(Sorry gtg to bed)

(Awwwwww!!!!!!!!!!! Okay.......bye)

:'(

Horizongold snorted. "No need to thank me," he said. "I just hate when pegasi make fun of you." Raising his voice, he said to his group who were doing landings, "Flight school students! Today we will be practicing landings! First, watch me." He lifted off smoothly and gained some altitude, then flew forward, over their heads. He angled his wings downward a bit to lose altitude. This made him gain speed, but when he was a few winglengths from the ground he flared his wings so his feather tips were pointing directly down to maximize air resistance, and therefore slow down. He traveled the rest of the way slowly and skidded gracefully to a stop. "There you are," he said to the watching students. "Now all of you go ahead and try."

Breezebell said smiled at Magicpetal and nodded a greeting. She did the best she could to Horizongold's instructions. She descended perfectly but when her hooves touched the ground she flipped and went carreening and squealing across the grass and ended in a heap of exhaustion. "That.....was.....Amazing!!!!!!" She shouted and stood up quickly a little shaky from what had just happened.

Redmoon to self: She saw someone flare theyir wings and saw it was Emberblaze. She kept glancing at him but then at Oceangold for instructions.

Oceangold: "Well, trainees, today you will be practicing spins and flips on purpose--and how to correct them if they happen accidentally." She launched up into the air and started to tumble, faster and faster, then stuck her wings straight out and scooped the air with tiny, frantic movements. Miraculously, it seemed to the watching students, she was soon upright again and landed neatly on her hooves.

Magicpetal helped her friend to stand and eagerly trotted forward, wanting to go next. She leaped into the sky with ease and did the same movement Horizongold did, except with smaller and faster movements since she was smaller. Everything was going great, until she turned her wingtips down to try and land, her wings couldn't grab onto the air and she slipped. She fell a few winglengths but quickly corrected herself by thrusting her wings outward to stop her fall. Her wings graped the air and slowed her down. She flapped down and landed and didn't stumble much. She nickered proudly, beside her little fall. She pranced over to Breezbell and grinned happily. She leaned closer to her friend and said "This is so fun."

Breezebell jumped with joy. " I know right!" She said btu then realizes she needed to speak quietly and nickered.

Redmoon nodded to Oceangold with her bright true smile. "May I try?" She asked sweetly.

( hello? )

Redmoon, without waiting for an answer, lifted off silently and soared through the air. She mimicked Oceangold and as she was falling, she thrust her wings straight open in frantic movements she was upright and landed with grace and looked to Oceangold. "Did I do well?" She said quietly so only Oceangold could hear.

( oh pega-nuggets.... )

Emberblaze watched her with an eagle eye. When she landed he silently clapped his wings. Some of the pegasi around him looked at him and he sneered at them. Emberblaze was larger than most of the foals there. He was about a few hands larger than the second largest foal and when he flared his wings, making them back down.

Oceangold watched Redmoon, barely concealing her amazement. "How- wh- Most pegasi trainees are terrible at that the first time!" she gasped. "How'd you do that?!"

Emberblaze coked a smile, happy for his friend.

Magicpetal watched the other foals go, some fell like she did, others did it perfectly, and others did it terribly. She watched with painfull eyes as the large yearling who had been teasing her went and he did it perfectly. He was powerful and about as big as Emberblaze. He took large movements and he was one of the yearlings from Ice herd. He was large for an Ice herd steed with a round chest and muscular flanks. He landed and nodded once at Horizongold, and trotted back to his friends, glaring at Magicpetal sideways. She huffed and slightly pinned her ears at him. He scoffed but too small for Horizongold to notice. He went over to his friends and chattered quietly to them. Once every pegasi had gone, Magicpetal opened her folded wings, awaiting the next instruction.

Horizongold looked around at the watching trainees. "Why are you just sitting there?" he demanded. "Everyone back in the air to practice more. Continue practicing until I say to stop."

Redmoon looked at Oceangold with curious eyes. "All you do is pretend to fall, then open your wings straight out like a Landwalker's arms, and then curve the tips," She said demonstrating with her wings. "Right?" She saw Emberblaze silently clap for her and she blushed a bit but not to much to notice. "Did I do it wrong?" She asked a little fearful of being disobedient.

Breezebell to Horiozongold: She jumped inot the air at his remark and continued to fly.
