(AAAGGGHHHH)

(are y'all serious? A whole new PART!??? AND I MISSED IT ALL?!!!)

( New part is up! )

(kk!)

( I’ll make a new part, so don’t comment )

Morpheus:

”Her name is Loralie,” he answered for her, glancing down at Loralie in affection.

( Aspenfern (StarBeam!) is asleep btw )

Caita, "Good to know." she turned to the filly, "And you are?"

Morpheus:

Morpheus’ nostrils flared and he dropped his gorgeous smile. “I am Morpheus,” he said, cold.

Hugur rattles his feathers, he didn't like how the colt had a hold of one of his friends feather, and he was waiting for the colts name so he could yell at him for it.

Osavanna

Osavanna shuffled her hooves anxious for an answer answer

Caita, "Ok lets go!' she said then lead them over to the other foals, "ok I think that we are all ready to talk."

Hugur, "Wait why do you have one of Caita's feathers?"

Caita, "Chill, he's a dream walker, and he asked for one of my feathers, so I allowed him to take it."

Hugur, "But then why didn't you talk about one of his memories?" he asked lifting his head back up.

Caita, "Cause I didn't allow him to take it straight off me, I plucked it and then gave it to him."

Hugur, "Alright, I'll let it slide this time."

Caita, "Good." she said, "Anyways, my name is Caita, he is Hugur," she said pointing her wing at him and then pointing her other one at Osavanna, "And this is Osavanna." she said then looked at the other foals, "And you are?"

Osavanna

Osavanna nodded, "definitely "

Hugur walked over to them, "So who are the two pegasi?" he asked them

Caita, "Wanna go find out?" she asked looking at Osavanna.

Morpheus:

Morpheus grinned as he bent his head over the creation. He felt it, it’s life force. He felt the tether that connected it to him, and connected it to its owner. This was revolutionary. If only it hadn’t caused such a devastating headache.

Osavanna,

"Not to bad," she nickered

Caita, "Good, what about you?" she said as she landed

Osavanna

Osavanna trotted over to Caita, "how's it going?" She nickered

Caita saw Morpheus hold up one of her Sky blue feathers, she flew a little closer to Hugur, she remembered giving him her feather, but didn't expect to actually see it.

Loralie:

She beamed! She loved when her friend was happy, that didn’t happen often so this was great! She then noticed his smile. Most would think Morpheus to be scary or evil, but she knew he couldn’t hurt her, and why would he anyway. As soon as that thought popped up it vanished. “Oh my god, thats so cool!!” She said full heartedly

Morpheus:

He brandished the feather high. "I've done it! I have taken something from someone else's dreams! And, not only that, I believe I can use it to control their dreams fully!" He said, his smile more dangerous than ever.

Caita heard Morpheus yelling to the filly he came with, but she couldn't hear words, so she stayed quiet and just watched the pair talk.

Loralie:

She turned around to find Morpheus crying out to her. ”I’m sorry, did what?” She asked

Morpheus:

Morpheus bounded over to Loralie, Tinsel protesting heavily as she followed. 'Loralie!" He cried, ecstatic. "Loralie, I did it!"

1. Loralie: She began to get up and stretch. She was still a little bit far from the other pegasi but close enough to where she can see them. Morpheus seemed to still be down further in the woods. That made her wonder ‘was this the best choice, did I out my friend In danger or even worse... make it him mad at me?
   

Osavanna,

Osavanna glared at a few brown flowers beside her, and she stomped them down

Hugur awoke, he felt Caita next ti him asleep, with one flower by her side, he put his longer wing above her, and stayed like that until she woke up.

Caita felt Hugur's wing above her, she stayed laying down, with his wing covering her for a little while, "How did you sleep?" she asked him looking over at him.

Hugur, "I slept fine, but why is one of your flowers by your side again?"

Caits, "ohh it's nothing!" she said smiling and quickly stomping it away with her front hoove since she was still lying down.

Hugur, "Fine." he said sorta worried then uncovered her stretched and started to graze.

Caita follow Hugur's steps except she took to the sky, to find a lake, and found one nearby that they could drink out of.

Osavanna,

Osavanna streched her wings in the

Morpheus:

With an evil grin, Morpheus bowed and bid her goodbye. He then jumped through the mouth in the tree, taking the feather with him. She'll thank me one day, he thought. He knew something that she did not. He knew that this feather could now take memories, could now end her nightmares.

Morpheus awoke with a start, Sweat coated him, and he felt the feather clutched in his wing. Tinsel cried out as she darted out from under his wing; he must have crushed her. He stood up and kicked out his hind legs, tossing his head as he held the feather.

He had done it! He had taken something from another pegasus's dream! He had done it, and he had done it in a dream memory. He looked around, and spotted Loralie, awake.

Bakari:

Bakari felt glimpses of a message, but he got the idea. He turned around and galloped towards the foals. He glanced to their guards, and gently spoke to Thunderfire. "Thunderfire! I have received news. Marlcloud is returning, but she needs the foals to be ready to escape," he said. Thunderfire cocked his head.

"Begin informing everyone, but do it subtly so the guards won't notice. I'll look for them and give a signal of a hoof stomp when they are within my sight," he snorted. Bakari nodded and first went to Thea.

"Thea, don't squeal or react, but Marlcloud is returning and planning to help us escape, Start informing everyone else, but don't make a scene," he whispered. He brushed his wing against hers with a smile, and then informed his sister.

Roseflame watched Iden drop a few feet and thought about helping her, but then she saw her regain altitude so she went back to being calm about things.

Iden:

As soon as she felt the connection she sent the message.

'Me Marlcloud, Duskwing, and a few others are coming to Ash Herd. Duskwing has a group of steeds that he'll use to take down Stormfire. Get the foals ready. We are going to try to free you-' She felt light headed and stuttered dropping in the sky a few feet. She regained altitude and hoped she got the whole message through. She had never sent that long of a message.

Caita watched as her sky blue feather changed color with a slight violet to it, but didn't question what he was doing.

Bakari:

Bakari felt a tingle tugging at him. He turned to look east, and pondered the feeling. Then he realized it his starfire. Building it up in his bones, he felt the tether. Iden, he thought.

Loralie:

She slowly started to awake, she was surprised by how it didn’t feel like a full nights rest. She didn’t dream. This was a good thing. once she fully regained conscious then she began to open her eyes. She had almost forgotten her little journey she was on until she saw her surroundings.

Morpheus:

Morpheus gingerly took the feather and examined it. Satisfied, he changed it, morphed it with the power of the dream realm. It glowed with a bright violet light that was his starfire.

Iden:

She didn't feel like arguing. She sent another message to the star foals. (Can Bakari or someone that is in ash herd answer?)

Roseflame, "Never said you had to like attitude, I just wanted to travel with a group." she looked at the filly, "I know, but I have been planning a way to escape with everyone, as soon as I knew what was going on with the other star foals." she said then looked back at the lead mare.

Caita "Ugh fine, but I will get it for you, I don't feel like seeing anyone's memories at the moment." she then plucked one of her feathers and gave it to him.

Morpheus:

He groaned. "I don't have time for your petty questions. I am losing my time, and when it runs out, I will stay in here forever, and you will stay in here forever," he stated.

Iden:

"Dont be to sure about yourself. Stormfire is smart and strong. I fyou get captured, you will have to work with the rest of us to escape. They will not fail." She said, her eyes hallow. Her joking spirit was in hibernation. She had to prepare. She couldn't be caught by her fears like she did when she last saw Stormfire.

Marlcloud:

She glared harshly upon the filly. "I do not like your attitude. You may travel with us, or not," she said.

Roseflame looked back at the foal, "My name is Rose."

Caita, "I remember my dreams or nightmares I should say, pretty well."

Roseflame, "I am a star foal, they will most likely let me in, and think that they have me held captive, but all they will do is fail at that." she said looking at the mare, "Should I be correct Marlcloud?" she looked at her with foul eyes of determination.

( You're still up cousin? )

( Yes )

(Are Morpheus and Caita still in a dream?))

Iden:

She blinked her blue and white scared eye, forcing herself to smile. "Yes. I am Iden. Who are you?"

Marlcloud:

"We are heading to Ash Herd. If are prohibited in any way, then you will not be able to fly with us. We need to fly with the much haste," she said.

Morpheus:

"Why not? I could use it to prove to you it all happened," he said.

Roseflame, "Hi, you are Iden correct?" she asked the filly.

Iden:

She flew in silence with determination. She spread her wings fully, to save as much evergy as possible. Focused in front of her, to focused to notice the new filly. She concentrated and closed her eyes attempting to send a message to Anblick, or Bakari, or anyone she could reach. Only when she snapped into reality did she notice the new foal. "Hello there."

Caita, "Why one of my feathers? they are worth nothing." she said with curiosity.

Morpheus:

Morpheus shrugged. "Oh, nothing much... Just one of your feathers," he said with a grin.

Caita, "And I want to know what you want, before I allow you to take it." she huffed back at him, stretching her wings then folding them back in.

Morpheus:

He blew out air. "Do you remember what I said? I did not say give me something, I said allow me to take something. Listen, next time," he huffed, becoming thoroughly annoyed.

Caita, "What would you like?" she asked, "Everything here, you have created as far as I can tell at least." she said lashing her tail.

( Aww thanks buddy! Yeah, he's not exactly the good guy, lets just say... )

(I am getting such evil vibes from Morpheus)

Morpheus:

His grin was evil as he said, "Then I guess the only solution is to kill you." At her shocked expression he laughed and pressed his wing against his chest. "Oh, I crack myself up." Then his expression turned back to completely sinister as he said, "You are not the only one, as I have tried to tell you without hurting you. I can show you that you are not the first, not the only one to be abandoned, you naive creature."

He cradled his head in his left wing as Tinsel sat in his left. "I grow tired of your naivety, and I have come to take something from this dream, if you would so kindly allow me to," he said.

Caita, "Everything is realistic here, and I know I am no older than you, but they abandoned me, as soon as they knew I was a star foal," she said with heat pouring on her from the sun and hot desert around them. "You do know how to work dreams though, I will tell you that." she said, "And I am only going to tell you this once, I don't care how much worse I get, all that needs to happen, is for my friends to be safe and i would stop fighting me, cause I will never back down, doesn't matter how many bruises and scars I get, mentally or physically." she said sternly.

Roseflame, "Ok which way we heading first?" she asked the mare.

Marlcloud:

Marlcloud cocked her head. "You can travel with us," she said. She did not tell the filly to not fight, for she already knew that this filly could be stubborn. She had learned from this. Her foals were too interested in being heroes.

(With Marlcloud and them, she just flew to them.)

( Where is Roseflame? )

Roseflame saw a small group of pegasi and landed in front of them "Hi, my name is Rose, and I come from the interior, I have been watching over the other star foals, and i would like to help." she said calmly.

Marlcloud:

"Duskwing-" she started, but forgot what to say. She took in a deep breath and then said, "Thank you. And be careful." She looked at him, a strange feeling of comfort pooling into her belly. She broke eye contact to signal Iden and Atheria that she was taking off.

Morpheus:

He cocked an eye, questioning her. "Your entire lifetime? Do you understand that you are no older than I? Are you really this naive!" He laughed, cackling with great intensity. He wiped his eyes with his left wing, for they had watered as he had laughed.

Morpheus pulled on five more strings, giving him a much firmer grip on the dream. Slowly, the setting changed once again to a burning desert with the flaming sun held high overhead.

"Let me explain something to you, right now, little filly," he spat. "This could be much worse, and I could make it so. Do you really think you deserve this? Do you think it is not as bad as it could get? You are wrong," he snarled, his lip curling as he loomed over her. "I could make this so much more vivid, so much more real than you could imagine.," he said, standing straight once again, lashing his tail.

"But, I will only do it with your permission. I cannot do it unless you permit to do so," he said calmly. How quickly his expressions could change.

Iden:

She wasn't sure she was ready to see her father again, but she had to.

Duskwing:

"I'll handle Stormfire. There is a group of warriors that I can gather to hold off his battalions. You guys get the foals."

(see ya friend!!)

(Gtg for a while)

Caita, "I have lived with it my entire life, there is no getting worse, I have already reached the bottom of the pit, there is no lower, that is what you don't look at!" she said with anger and sadness at the same time.

Zmina,

Zmina looked around at the other Star foals, she saw the others escape, and she would of joined!

She wanted to randomly teleport around Anok and hopefully find

Morpheus:

Morpheus had never felt a dream so strong, but he knew why; it was intertwined with memories. He would need to erase those to fully manipulate it to its full potential. He glared at the filly and growled, "You are pathetic and naive to believe you deserve any of this. If anything, you are undoubtedly gullible." He rolled his eyes and swished his tail.

"If you do not try to get better or to fix anything, then you will only get worse. So very simple," he said lightly, as if he were discussing the weather.

Caita looked at him, "I deserve this life, I have seen into to many other foals and guards past, that there is no reason why they shouldn't be here, I have gotten what I deserve for an entire lifetime, right here." she said looking at him, then her family started to shout insults at her, her entire nightmare starting to break back through, "and I would prefer to be able to see my entire family every night, even if they don't love me, I still love them." she said more stern wanting to see her family every night even if they weren't real.

Marlcloud:

Marlcloud nodded to Iden, and felt relief at Duskwing's expression. With a sigh, she spread her wings. She looked to them all, and then back at Kifo's dead body. "We will come back for him when all of this over," she said. Then she turned to them all once again. "Are we ready?"

Morpheus:

Morpheus frowned and shrugged as the guards surrounded her. "Simple fix," he said, and pulled on three strings at once. The guards froze, the scene placated, and it turned into a painting of frozen pegasi. He walked between them, examining each one. They were all blurred, not descriptive and distinguished. These would be easier to bring into the waking world.

He turned to look back at the sobbing filly, and then looked away as he continued to examine them. "You are not the first to have a nightmare, and you are not the first that I have had to fix," he said as he continued to examine each guard carefully.

"Your dreams are simply fixations of the imagination. Never will they travel to the waking world," he continued, moving between the guards as he continued to hold those three strings. Then he chuckled. "Unless, of course, I bring them to the waking world," he suggested.

"But, I have an offer to make," he said, breaking away from his study to stare at her. "I can take this," he gestured grandly to the whole world, "away from you. I can make you dream of nothing each night, absolutely nothing." Tinsel made a disbelieving noise in response to him, but he ignored it. "Or, I can bring out of here, into my dream that I create just for you," he snorted. "So, what will it be?"

(so am I!)

(I'm here!)

Roseflame needed to come up with a plan, and quickly but she didn't know what she would do, once she had saved all the star foals or they had saved themselves, but she still took off, her primary colored wings showing brightly in the sky, she soared towards the other star foals as she slowly came up with plans, she would confuse the guards and then start to take them out, she had sharpened her hooves right after a star foal left so they were sharp, and she new how to fight well, so she dived into battle without a second thought.

Duskwing:

He watched them curiously. As crazy and un-organized as this herd was, they all loved each other so much. He moved closer to Marlcloud comforting her with a determined expression as if saying 'I wont kill them'.

Stormfire:

He ordered all the foals to be gathered together. He scanned every one of them, sneering evily. But He noticed there were multiple missing. Including his the blue one his adopted daughter, and the tan one. He tried to notice any others missing but he couldn't off the top of his head. 'Oh ill get that blue filly! And this time, she wont have her mother to save her.' He though, looking at the other foals. 'Or any of her friends'

Iden:

"Marlcloud? I think we should get back to Ash Herd." She shivered. "Who knows what Stormfire is planning to do with them."

See ya bud!!))

(Gtg at Costco crazy crazy

Osavanna,

Osavanna awoke, the pain in her head was now a dull throbbing in the back of her head.

She slowly got up, Osavanna glared at the flowers, and stomped them down.

Caita's mind still echoed all around her, getting louder and then getting quiet then loud again, seeming to go on forever, "Why do I still love them?" echoed all around, whispering over the grass, and bouncing off the trees back to her and the colt she had meant that day, "Well," she gulped as she took some tears with it, "Welcome to my forever going nightmare, of my own twist past, with a fake family." she said as stern as she could at the moment then looked down at her flowers, they where all green, she just left them, "My powers come with their own price, of forever reliving my least favorite memory, which happened before I even got them, before I was even weaned, my family disowned me, yelling insults as they left, they weren't scared of me, just hated me." she said as she looked back up at him, "My own living nightmare," she said spreading out her wings, and then the guards broke back through and surrounded her again, she knew that they would break through and they did, at the exact moment she knew they would, cause they were all dead, and they all haunt her now.

Osavanna,

Osavanna saw the guards coming, they turned her over to Shadow Herd, because they thought she PURPOSELY killed her parents.

Her parents were high ranking captains in the herd.

She sobbed harder as the guards took her by the wings, and dragged her to the sky and towards Shadow Herd.

She sobbed, more light brown flowers sprouted inside and outside her dream.

(kk!)

Caita, "Hi." she kept on sobbing though, the flowers still sprouting she looked around, and then heard her mind echo around her again, "Why do I still love them?" it asked her again she yelled back at it, "I DON'T KNOW, YOU TELL ME!!" then she broke down, falling onto the ground, with even more tears coming out, her past was broken and twisted, always seeming to change slightly, but tonight, there was the exact colors that she remembers, and even the way they went, towards shadow herd, to live there instead of near her.

( GTG be back in a bit! )

Morpheus:

Morpheus settled down into the grass and let Tinsel off of his wing. She cocked her head at him, curious. "You seem more angry than before, Morpheus. What is it?" She asked.

Morpheus' lips pursed. "I am just drained, Tinsel. I have dreamt too much into reality recently, and tonight I intend to do no different. I shall take something from one of their dreams and bring it back," he said, "and it will be the hardest challenge yet."

Tinsel rolled her eyes and then settled under his right wing, snuggling close to him. "Alright," she sighed, "You go ahead and do that now..." She yawned, and quickly fell asleep. Once again, Morpheus smiled, a dangerous thing. He closed his eyes and thought, Sleep.

He popped into existence, shaking out his limbs. He was once again in the ring of trees and the waterfall. Tonight, Loralie's dream tree was a beautiful, graceful birch. He turned in a slow circle, until he spotted two dream trees. He did not recognize the names, so he assumed it was the dreams of those he had met earlier.

Both trees were burnt heavily, symbolizing a nightmare. Fire enclosed the mouths, and he knew he would suffer burns if he were to wake up in that moment. Taking a deep breath, he ran forward and jumped into the tree on the left.

Morpheus popped back into existence, still feeling the warm tickle of fire across his legs and underbelly. Shaking out his coat, he observed the scene around him. In front of him, he saw a filly, sobbing, surrounded by a ring of guards. He slowly waved his wing across his vision, and the guards vanished, and the scene turned into an inky black void.

Making a hmmph noise, he closed his eyes and imagined a clearing and forest. It was lovely as he felt the ground beneath his hooves, the trees tall and singing, and Tinsel settling lightly on his right wing. He opened him, and there it was, beautiful. He turned his head to look at the sobbing filly, and walked slowly forward to where he was a winglength away from her.

"Good evening," he said, his tone desolate and icy.

Caita sobbed, with guards surrounding her, she sobbed until there was nothing left to come, then after a while, they started to come back, she kept on thinking, "Why do I still love?" she thought the thought circled all around her, echoing just like it always did.

Osavanna,

Osavanna watched in horror as the boulder crashed down onto her parents,

Tears filled her eyes both inside and outside of the dream, light brown flowers sprouted by her.

Caita got hit by a usual nightmare, when her whole family disowned her fro being a star foal and letting guards take her, and keep her in a prison basically, then they switched to a different herd, and left her to cry on her own, she was one of the first star foals to be held captive, and from what she knows, she is the only one, that ash herd, is her actual herd, she cried as her family left, and screamed after them, "I WILL GET RID OF YOU, YOU FOOLS!!" then went back to sobbing, her green flowers, in her dream, but only one really appeared in real life.

Osavanna,

Osavanna was having another one of her occasional nightmares, although this one actually happend to her

Yet dream was.

when she got her powers, she was testing her limits,

She acedently dropped a large boulder on her parents.

Osavanna screamedinside her dream

Caita, "What a strange way to act." she thought to herself, then turned, went to Hugur's side, laid down, and then slept.

Morpheus:

Morpheus stopped abruptly his ears pinned. He turned around, glaring at her. He glanced to Loralie, and then back at them. A memory resurfaced, but he pushed it down, down, down. This mare may have her own nightmares, yes, but she didn't know what it was like to sleep in his own dream. To only dream memories that were twisted into horrid shapes of the truth.

In a blaze of cold, he turned away and trotted away, far enough that he could barely see them.

Loralie:

"Just don't bother" she muttered to Morpheus. She just didn't want drama, she jsut wanted a good nights sleep

Caita, "Nightmares are usual for me, so try me!" she said looking at the colt who was leaving.

Morpheus:

Morpheus glared after her, and turned away in a flurry. "You all can sleep, but don't be surprised if there is something unpleasant as you do," he grumbled, walking away with Tinsel held close on his wing.

Caita looked at Morpheus and Loralie, "Thank you for your help today, let's all get some rest, and when all of us have woken up, we will all talk about the dangers of Ash herd, and why you shouldn't have been heading that way, unless you wanted to get yourself killed." she said with a stern look.

Loralie:

She had a glare on her face. "You never like anyone. Ever heard of common sense! your supposed to be nice to people. \" She said it a baby voice as if talking to a child. "they needed our help, and I went whether you like that or not!" She then moved closer and plopped herself on the ground.

Hugur slowly felt more and more of his muscles being more free for him to move them, but he waited to do that, until he could move all of them, and even then, he let himself sleep for a little since he had been half awake he had heard most of the conversations, and wanted to let Osavanna have time to rest, and his shorter wing was still sore, so he gave that time to unsore itself.

Osavanna,

Osavanna nodded, she laid down, and soon fell into a restless

Caita nuzzeled her friend, making sure not to touch Osavanna with her wings, she didn't feel like knowing anyone's past memories at the moment, so she kept her wings tucked and careful with them, "Ok well how about you rest for a little, we will talk with the other foals once you and Hugur wake up ok?"

Morpheus:

Morpheus glared at Loralie and said, "I don't like them. I have never liekd them."

Morpheus glared at them from afar, always angry. He looked up and called out for Tinsel and held out his right wing. The bird cascaded from the sky, gracefully swooping and landing gracefully on his wing, pecking at his feathers. He glared at the bird and said, "Thank you for waiting."

The bird crossed her wings, looking away from him. "
