(So what happened exactly right after Desert Herd arrived?)

Ashray:

“You clearly did not hear me correctly. I did not say attack. I said to find whatever is scaring them, figure out a way to take the thing that is scaring them out of the picture non-violently, and then drive them back to their territory. So I guess we have come to an agreement,” he snorted. When the over-stallion nodded, he whistled for two of his captains, and three battle mares.

Some would doubt bringing battle mares to a possible battle, but Ashray knew these mares well enough to know that they acted like full-grown stallions and would be even greater for a scouting mission. Then he turned to deal with his mother.

“Mother, you have disrespected my wishes by coming here, and I must politely ask you to return to the quarantine,” he said harshly. Then he eyed her belly, and whispered, “I also would prefer to meet my sibling, as well.” Then he looked to his other captains and called them over.

”Make sure Raincloud is returned safely to the quarantine,” he ordered. “Or, if she is too stubborn, then make sure she stays here instead of following us,” he commanded. When they all turned to leave, Ashray called Robinfire back. “Return to the quarantine, regardless if Raincloud returns, and retrieve my father, Scorchwing. Bring him back here and tell him our plan and where we are headed.” Robinfire nodded, and took off into the air, flying in a direct bee-line for the quarantine.

He then looked back to Dustwing who had gathered his five steeds. Ashray spread his wings, and waited for the over-stallion’s signal. His group would follow slightly behind the over-stallions, for Ashray was smart enough not to disrespect an opposing over-stallion, for it could go very badly for his mother, father, and his herd.

(@Nightmist, is my OC Stripefire, over there at the Wolves, or at the quarantines?)

( Recap: Not much has happened except for Desert Herd having been affected by a plague, and they are currently quarantined around 2-3 miles away from the herd. Daisyfire’s report of wolves near the canyon has been confirmed, but they are timber wolves, a pack of around 14, and the pegasi are wondering what had driven them this far Easr/South/Southeast And now, Vixinleap and Lilacroot are going to get a platoon from Dustwing to fight off the wolves, while Ashray, Honeyblossom, Rainclo9ud, and Scorchwing, along with around 40 healthy pegasi, are heading already heading towards the wolves and are estimated to arrive before Dustwing’s platoon of pegasi. Now Ashray and Dustwing are headed into The Trap to try to find whatever it is that is scaring the wolves this way. They are leaving an additional 10 pegasi, just to ensure their safety, but twelve will be traveling in total (Including Dustwing and Ashray this time) Did I help? )

Dustwing- "And by the way Ashray I heard you perfectly fine. I was talking to your mother not you! She was offering her battle mares to help fight the wolves or the mysterious threat. I said it would be a good idea! You need to get your mind straight!" He said a little more harshly than he meant it. He kind of felt bad for yelling at him. He was a fine young stallion that would some day be a wise over-stallion. He snorted and with a flick of his ear they set off. Dustwing chose 3 strong stallions and 2 smart, and brave, battle mares. He saw that the young stallion also chose battle mares. Dustwing had trained his steeds to look and listen for the slightest movements. It was one of his strategies. Once they were away from Raincloud Dustwing spoke. "Dont be so hard on your mother. You have leader blood but your not yet over-stallion. Your lucky she is so calm and respecting. I have met lead mares that would have lashed out on you or maybe even striked you."

Hazelwood- She searched the sky and finally found Dustwing and Ashray setting off. "Wait! Im coming!" she said. "And why do you think that" Dustwing asked. "I have been scouting this area with Flamefire's patrol. I know this land and what lives here. I also just really want to come." she answered. She knew Duswing may get mad but she knew he was calm. "Fine you can come, but don't be trouble." He replied knowing this mare was not as serious as the others. She was like a little filly trapped inside the body of a skilled fighter. "YES!! I mean thank you" She dipped her head respectfully putting on her most serious face. (sorry that was long

Ashray:

When Dustwing had finished speaking to a more who had suddenly joined their expedition. He then turned to look at the stallion. “I have to be harsh with her to get her to listen. She is with foal, my sibling, and I don’t want either of then to get hurt. And with all due respect, sir, but I am jst simply trying to protect my weak herd, even if it appears that I’m an arrogant mule,” he said softly, and then turned away to observe the landscape.

After a few minutes, he spoke again, “Dustwing, sir, but do recall anything strange happening with vegetation or animals these last few months? Any decreases in population of certain species of plant and animals alike?” Ashray was asking this question because he wondered if they weren’t the only ones who had been affected by the plague, They could have very well brought the plague to the animals, and that could be the reason the wolves were here, but he doubted it.

Dustwing- "No everything has been fine here. Have you seen anything on your trek over here. Odd swarms of animals or irregular predator movement? Also I never said you were an ignorant mule. I was just telling you to watch your manners around high power." (they also probably don't know what a mule is XD)

( lol )

Mossbrook- She flew to the quarantine and stopped abruptly. "What is that?" she wondered, smelling the wolves

(also im bk)

Redfeather- Redfeather walked around, looking for something. She wasn't quite sure what, but she kept walking. It was in a dazed sort of way, but she continued walking.

Rivercloud - while her mate was away, she walked around, making sure the herd was safe and each steed was healthy and accounted for.

Sunfire was walking around the desert herd quarantines growing more and more anxious about the wolves with every second that passed.

Beestripe - as Mossbrook turned to leave, he ran after her. "Wait, you could get hurt! We're not supposed to be in the quarantine!" he said, his eye full of concern for the filly.

Nightriver-

Nightriver was walking around the Dawn Herd lands, anxious about the Timber Wolves that are lurking nearby, she was hoping that Duskriver was staying safe with the other foals.

Mossbrook- She heard Beestripe, and flew back to him quickly saying, "Beestripe, I think I smell wolves but I'm not sure. I'm scared."

Redfeather-She smelled the wolves and galloped full speed back to the herd. "Everyone! I smell wolves!"

Sunfire-

Sunfire hearing the mare, he trotted over to her, "Don't worry, a young stallion named Ashray of your herd has already sent out a platoon, and I know that Dustwing of my herd as already sent out a platoon, right now they should already be deciding that to do with the Timber Wolves. Don't worry everything will be fine" Sunray said to the mare.

Mossbrook- "O-okay," she replied, relaxing a bit.
