Summary:
Not much has happened other than the main group (Aquafeather, Skysun, Galewind, Moonbreeze, Moonsky, Brambletail, Flamestorm, Shiversnow, and Solarmoon) trying to capture Violetrain (a mare in Icewind’s group). Aquafeather and Galewind have been distracting Violetrain while the others are preparing. The current plan is to throw rocks at Violetrain and try to make her dependent on them. Tealflame, Spottedwind, and Pebblefrost are still captured by Firethorn and Spottedwind’s two older brothers, Wildstrike and Ravenfrost. They are beginning to lose hope on a rescue. Elsewhere, Skyspring is fighting with Icewind, and it appears as though both sides are equal.
Current Time:
Late evening?
Last Comments (In each of the groups):
Aquafeather’s Group-
Aquafeather:
“Got it.” She whispers back. Nervousness courses through her body as she imagines being crushed by rocks. She mentally prepares as they step into the clearing...
Moonsky:
He picked up a Zapper. He aimed high and it a tree branch with a smashing sound
The Captured Group-
Spottedwind,
she flicked her wings, glancing up at her two brothers that were keeping watch before grazing again.
Tealflame:
As they walk, he looks to the sky, wishing for the thousandth time that he had been able to fly away with his sister.
Icewind’s Group-
Icewind:
Gets up and flies towards her, teeth bared. "oh, yeah? Do it, I dare you!" He said.
Skyspring
"Yeah. And maybe he'll give me your position. And make me in charge. What do you think of that?"
New Part!

Silverthorn:
”Yeeesh! Sorry Duskfeather! I didn’t know that you knew about herbs!” She hisses. “Go ahead!”
Aquafeather:
”Good question.” She whinnies. Her mind turns to Ravenfrost and how he tricked her.... ”Well... I was thinking we should let her prove herself. She will not be able to make decisions for the whole group, but she will be able to make suggestions.” She flys over to Feathersky. “Welcome to the group, Feathersky.” She nickers.
Galewind:
"What are we going to do about her?" She asked, pointing her wing at Feathersky.
(or did they already decide what to do with her, and I just missed it?)
Aquafeather:
”So they are not on our trail.” She whinnies, unaware of the fact that at that very second Icewind and his team were following her feather markers. ”I think we should head back to where we left them. That way we can bargain with them. Is everyone okay with that idea?“ She asks the group.
(So from the parts I have read it seems like Icewind split up the group- one half to find his nieces and the other to stay with Skysun and Moonsky. Which group is Silverthorn in? I would like her to be looking for Moonbreeze and Galewind, but my most recent comment has her with Skysun.)
Duskfeather:
She turned, flaring her wings at the mare, "You don't think I can make a good call!?" She asked, her nostrils flaring angrily,
Skysun:
She rolled her eyes, "I would appreciate some help!" She spoke up, "My wing hurts worse then the time I slammed into cacti." (Wink wink, XD)
(btw, I plan on making a new part tomorrow)
Silverthorn:
She shrugs. “I don’t know much, but I might know???” She seems very unsure of her knowledge in healing. “Why would you want to heal them anyway? Their injuries are helping us keep them captured. I may not be a medicine mare, but I can tell that those injuries will heal on their own, they aren’t fatal.”
(Bye!)
Icewind:
He has to admit she has a point. "Does anyone here know anything about treating wounds?" HE asked the group.
(darn, gtg)
Back!!)
Duskfeather:
She trotted over to Icewind, "Sir?" She said, "What do we do about the foals' injuries? Surely we should try and treat them before we set off tomorrow?"
Icewind:
He sent a warning glare at Moonsky.
Moonsky:
He kept up the act of being in intense pain
Icewind:
"You four! Guard them!" He said to Skysun and Moonsky's guards. "The rest you, rest! We leave at dawn tomorrow."
Imma go make someone for Icewind's Group, I'll brb))
Moonsky:
He cried out. "Ahh!" Faking intense pain
Once her hooves touched dry ground her legs began to shake,
Icewind:
It was starting to get dark. "Land!" He ordered
She snapped her jaws shut, tears stinging her eyes. She didn't want to leave Moonsky, but she realized she had to.
Moonsky:
"I will. I promise." He whistled. (Did Icewind leave them alone with guards? That would make this next part eaisier)
Icewind:
"You two! Quiet!" He snapped.
Skysun nodded, "Just...promise me you'll be there....that you'll come back." She whistled.
Icewind:
He glared at Skysun and Moonsky, then flew with his team to find the escapeees.
Moonsky:
"Please don't come back for me. Meet me at Crabwing's bay. Where the birds don't fly." He whistled, a tear rolling down his face. He hid it well
She remained silent for a few moments, the words stinging her like a bee sting. Unlike the other times, she knew he meant them. "I...I'll be back for you..." She whistled, trying to keep tears from falling down her muzzle.
Moonsky:
"If you care about me. You'll leave. Or.. I will never speak to you again." He whistled
(I forget, what happened to Skyspring?)
She remained silent for a moment before whistling a reply, "I won't leave you..." She said, "I CAN'T leave you alone."
Icewind:
He inspected the feather, and realized it belonged to the other Snow Herd filly in his nieces' group. "That way!" HE ordered.
Moonsky:
"Don't worry about me. I have a plan." he whistled
"What about you!?' She whistled back.
Moonsky:
"When I give the signal. You run!" he whistled to Skysun. "And don't look back!"
She begun to breathe heavily, terror growing inside her. "No..." She murmured, "No no no no!"
Icewind:
"Descend!" He ordered the steeds.
She gasped slightly, spotting the feather as well, 'This is BAD!' She thought in terror.
Icewind:
He glanced down and saw a feather in the trees.
(he found the feather Aquafeather left for Skysun and Moonsky to follow)
She looked at Moonsky, seeing his smirk her heart sped up slightly, "What does he have planned?" She murmured under her breath.
Moonsky:
He smirked
She snorted, but remained quiet, lashing her tail in displeasure.
Icewind:
"Another backtalk out of either of you, and you get dropped from the clouds."
Moonsky:
He had done what he needed to. Attract attention and spot weaknesses. "As you wish flawless captian." he mock bowed his head
Her eyes widen as she sees the display beside her, but tries to ignore it due to their masquerade. "If Wind Herd and Nightwing have NO weaknesses," She continued, "Then how am I here? Captured because I ESCAPED." She asked.
Icewind:
He snaked his head to Moonsky. "I will kill you if you try to escape again," He snarled. "I'll kill the filly, too."
Moonsky:
he lashed out his leg and smashed into someone's leg. Causing the to drop one of his wings. He started trying to pull his other wing free
Icewind:
"Nightwing and Wind Herd HAVE NO weaknesses." He said.
"Really?" Skysun asked with a tilt of her head, "Because I think it does. Think about it, for me, and all of my friends to have escaped, there MUST be a weak spot within Herd Defences." She said, "Wouldn't Nightwing like to know what those weaknesses are? So he can, you know, patch them up?"
Icewind:
"That benefits me in no way. NO" He said.
"You leave my friends alone," She stated, "And I'll tell you how I escaped Wind Herd."
Icewind:
He pins his ears. "What kind of deal...?"
Skysun looks around wildly, attempting to look like she's under a lot of stress, "Icewind!" She calls out suddenly, "Can I...can I propose a deal?" She asked pinning her ears back.
Anyone wanna RP?? :)
She turned her head to look at Icewind, "Are you HAPPY now?!" She hissed, "You turned one of us against us all!"
(Moonsky was lying when he told them that the group was going to S ow herd. Was that true?)
Feathersky:
"You should trust me because I know what he does to those who apose him." She said sadly. "Icewind shows no mercy. Moonsky told me that if they mde him tell any information that he would say you were heaeded toward Snow herd teritory."
She snorts, "I just said that I can't believe Moonsky would betray us like that! He was one of us, and now he could get us all captured." It hurt her to say those words, but she knew they were necessary.
Silverthorn:
Flys closer to Skysun. “What did you say?” She says menacingly.
Aquafeather:
Deeply concerned, she is not sure if it would be a good idea to trust Feathersky. “Why should we trust you?” She whinnies looking at Feathersky. “How do we know that you are telling us the truth?”
Galewind:
She looked at the strange filly warily, trying to remember where she had seen her before. She gasped. "You were in Icewind's team!" She said.
(wait... did they already know that??? idk lol)
Skysun muttered something to herself as they flew, her wings aching.
(OH! And Moonsky said that their friends were heading to Snow Herd territory.)
Moonsky and Skysun are attempting to pretend they hate each other so that they can lead Icewind away. And Aquafeather and their friends are going to attempt to get them back by trading Violetrain for them. If you need more, let me know and I'll give you anything else you need when I get up in the morning. Goodnight!
(oop, I missed a lot! so, can someone catch me up?)
Moonsky's words gave Skysun courage, they WERE going to get out of this.
(I'll be on again tomorrow)
I agree, :)
(Me too!)
Aquafeather:
”We should go back. We need to help Moonsky.” She neighs, looking to the group. “We will have to use Violetrain as our bargaining chip.”
(I think we should wait for Riverglade before continuing)
Moonsky:
He didn't shy away from them, "Have courage." he whistled to Skysun
Silverthorn:
”I think we should punish this colt for what he did! He killed Stoneheart and Featherstrike!“ She neighs, turning to Icewind.
Feathersky:
"I was sent by Moonsky. He said he has a plan. He also said you would welcome me. I don't want to go back to my brother."
She sighed, this may still work.
Moonsky:
"I was scared, I didnt know who yu were."
Silverthorn:
”No friends, huh?” She taunted him. “Then why did you throw at a stone at me to save this filly here?”
Moonsky:
He iced his heart off. "I don't have any friends."
Her jaw dropped, did he just reveal their secret? That they really WERE friends?! 'Oh great...' She thought pinning her ears back.
Moonsky:
"No I don't." He said icily
Skysun grimaces, THAT would get Moonsky...she was sure of it. She had to play it cool though. "Didn't you hear that Traitor!?" She said with a sneer, not meaning a word of it.
Silverthorn:
”Tell us!” She whinnies, struggling to stay in the air. “Do you want your friend to die?” She prompts Moonsky.
Aquafeather:
She turns. “What?!? Skysun got captured?!?” Her heart races to her throat, and she feels the need to land. “What happened?!?”
Wow, what happened?
@Riverglade when you see this, can you come online and roleplay please??
Moonsky:
His heart hurt hearing her say that but he couldn't let Icewind see
"No!" Skysun shrieked, "You TRAITOR!!" She hoped he knew that she didn't mean it, but she had to make sure that Icewind believe Moonsky.
Moonsky:
"I'm going to tell him something, just not the truth." he whistled, "I'll tell you Icewind, sir. They are headed toward snow herd territory." He said hanging his head
"No...don't tell him for me. Everything will be alright." She whistled in reply.
(Ok the team who has Violetrain needs to notice Feathersky please)
Moonsky:
"I have to tell him Skysun." he whistled to ehr
Skysun froze for a moment. "He...he won't give you any information for my sake.' She said, "H...He doesn't care for me."
(OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!! heheheeee)
Icewind:
a" Enough of that. You have more information than you are telling. Where are they heading, and why?" He turned to Moonsky. "If you don't tell me at least a small bit of information, I will break her wings and neck, and drop her." He threatened, pointing to Skysun.
She sneered, "You never liked me. Just like I never liked you" She snorted, her heart hurting as she said those words. She felt the exact OPPOSITE way about the colt next to her,
Moonsky:
He laughed, "We fooled you!" (Yes lets continue later)
Icewind:
"I dunno... You two seemed to be very concerned about each other in the forest..." He said.
(gtg, continue later?)
Moonsky:
"Lie better." he thought. "And I hate her too."
Icewind:
"Does she, now?" He looked behind him at Skysun to see if she did. He doubted it.
She glared at him, showing her 'distaste' for the colt with her.
Moonsky:
"She hates me." he said
Icewind:
"But, if what you're saying is true... then she lied when she said she wanted you safe..."
Her eyes widen, getting what he wanted, "It was even my idea..." She muttered, trying to get it to look like she WAS lying.
Icewind:
"QUIET!" He yelled at Moonsky.
Moonsky:
"That mare is a notorious Lier!" he shouted, hoping Skysun knew he didn't mean it. But it would be more convincing if she believed him
Icewind:
"So, they sent you... interesting.... yes, very interesting..."
(I couldn't resist doing that, LOL it was too perfect)
"I already told you! I. Don't. Know! I left without asking where they were heading, and I didn't see the direction the left! I was too excited for my mission!"
Icewind:
He growled in anger. "You heard me! And they do trust you! You know something! I know you do!"
(Icewind's kind acting like a toddler.... a bit immature, don't you think? lol)
