Summary:
Several new things have happened! Skysun and Moonsky have escaped from Icewind’s team, (now comprised of Silverthorn, Darkstone, Duskfeather, and several unnamed pegasi) wounding Icewind in the process. They found Aquafeather and her group (now comprised of Galewind, Moonbreeze, Skyspring, Feathersky, Skysun, Moonsky, Brambletail, Flamestorm, Shiversnow, Solarmoon, and the captured Violetrain) and confirmed Skysky/Moonsun. Aquafeather, sad about her nonexistent relationship with Flamestorm and her captured family went to be alone for a bit then came back. As she got back, a monsoon started. This monsoon caused a tree fall on her, and she was knocked out with many wounds. As the rest of the pegasi started to recover, and began to help Aquafeather, they were hit by a mudslide. Moonsky was seriously hurt, and Moonbreeze received minor wounds. The weather is causing problems for Icewind’s team too. Darkstone is determined to fly even though the wind is fierce because he is afraid of a mudslide. Elsewhere, Tealflame, Spottedwind and Pebblefrost are still captured by Firethorn, Wildstrike, and Ravenfrost, and are getting close to the Interior, where Nightwing is. We wait for @Cinderfrost (Sunblaze)and @Nightmist to come back on so we can continue.
Last Comments (In each of the groups):
Aquafeather’s Group-
Galewind:
She pulled with all her strength, to get Moonbreeze out of the mud.
Skyspring:
She grabbed his wings with her teeth and yanked hard. His head surfaced again
Aquafeather:
She leaned over and grabbed Moonsky‘s wing with her teeth. She finds herself being pulled in after him.
Icewind’s Team-
Icewind:
"Land!" He ordered the team. These winds were too dangerous to fly in, even for experianced flyers like themselves.
Darstone:
"I know what a mudslide can do to you." He said, "I'll take my chances in the sky." he said
Icewind:
"Are you defying my orders?" He asked threateningly.
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.
Current Time: Early Afternoon?
New Part!

Firethorn:
His heart lifted as he thought he saw Wind Herd in the distance. “We are almost there!” He nickered to the two brothers. “Soon enough, Nightwing will reward us for capturing them.” He gestures his wing toward their three prisoners.
Tealflame:
Heart heavy, he continued to follow the others. His leg was slowly healing, but his wing was still broken. He looks to the distance. “We are nearly there and still no more signs of Aquafeather. At least I get to see my mom again...” He trails off, looking at Spottedwind and Pebblefrost.
@Cinderfrost (Sunblaze) @Nightmist
Galewind:
"I'm going to go talk to Skyspring and Feathersky about the mission," SHe said. She trotted towards them. "Aquafeather just told me everything she knows about the group. There are around three of them, two are brothers, and the other one is experianced and deadly. We'll have to come up with a plan that's fairly safe for us, and her friends." She told them. @Windfeather
Skysun:
"I'll take first watch," She nickered softly, watching the forest around them for any sign of Icewind or his team.
Aquafeather:
She felt slightly faint, and her ears were ringing. “I think I am going to go and rest.” She nickers, and stumbles back into the cave. Once she is alone, she glances back at her wounds. “Oh...” she trails off as she sees her shoulder wound. “Is it getting infected?” She asks herself. “I should probably get Skyspring to look at it.” She tries to get up, but she is too weak. She continues to lay in the den, shivering with cold even though the temperature outside is normal.
Skysun:
She flicks her ears, "Thank you..." She looked at Aquafeather, "I will do my best to protect you guys while they get your friends to safety."
Aquafeather:
She nods. Once more, she feels the tiniest bit jealous about Skysun and Moonsky’s relationship. “She wants to stay for Moonsky, not for me...” She thinks, but quickly pushes the thought away. “I think he certainly needs your comfort right now.” She nickers.
Skysun:
She nods, looking behind her momentarily, "That is another reason I want to stay behind. I want...I want to be here for him." She nickered softly.
Aquafeather:
”I get it. I feel the same way about my own brother...”
Skysun:
She nods in relief, "I just...don't want to lose him." She nickered softly.
Aquafeather:
”Well, there are three Nightwing believers in total, unless more haven’t joined their group. Two of them are brothers, and the other one is very experienced and deadly. My friend, Spottedwind, will be able to help you, but my brother was injured and the mare we meet was very weak.” She glances back at Skysun. “If they can bring back my friend Spottedwind, she will be able to help Moonsky.”
Skysun:
"I don't know...maybe I'm just being silly...I'm just worried."
(aw man! gtg, dinner)
Skysun:
She sighed, "I just...I just think that Moonsky's condition is worse then what he and Skyspring let on..."
Galewind:
"Are you ok, SKysun?" SHe asked, concerned.
Skysun:
Her eyes darkened at the mention of Moonsky's condition.
Skysun:
Her eyes darkened at the mention of Moonsky's condition.
Galewind:
"Me too," SHe said. "Can you tell us what you know about the group, so we can make an effective plan?"
Aquafeather:
She nods. “I hope you will be able to find them in time.” She neighs to Galewind. “Moonsky will really need the help.”
Skysun:
She nodded, "I'm sure, if Icewind's group comes and attacks, we need every able bodied pegasus we can get. The group going to rescue your friends will be going to allies who will help them fight there. I can't leave you guys undefended."
(Is the monsoon still going on, or did it end?)
Aquafeather:
”I understand. I am not upset with you. Are you still sure that you want to stay here?”
Skysun:
She looked at her hooves, "I'm sorry...for...keeping Skyspring's secret....I didn't know what else to do."
Aquafeather:
Turns toward Skysun. “Yes?”
Skysun:
She looks at Aquafeather before she trotted over, "Aquafeather?" She said, approaching rather cautiously.
(I am now realizing that using Skysun in this RP may cause confusion later on down the road...XD)
Aquafeather:
”When do you think you will leave?” She asked Galewind.
Duskfeather:
Her ears pricked in slight shock, 'He didn't scream at me?!' She thought in slight shock, obeying Icewind's command, draping her wing over the little filly.
Icewind:
"Rest tonight," He said. "Tomorrow, we leave to bargain with the escapees." He told the team.
Duskfeather:
Her eyes widen slightly, did she really...did she really just stand up to her commanding officer. 'This may not end well for me...' She thought.
Silverthorn:
Shocked at the outburst. “I can too!” She volunteers, not wanting to lose this filly like they lost Skysun and Moonsky.
Icewind:
"See to it that you do" He said.
(idk what that means... I just remember reading it somewhere lol)
Duskfeather:
"Sir!" She said, "DON'T scare her!" She snapped, "I'll PERSONALLY see to the filly's well being!" She was just about done with Icewind's ruthlessness, and she wasn't about to let him harm the filly.
Icewind:
"Keep an eye on her at all times." He said. Then he narrowed his eyes at the filly. "Don't even try to escape again, got it?" He snarled at her.
(Oe last comment)
Skysong:
SHe screamed and kicked. "HELP!"
Skysun:
She nods, "You know you can trust me. I can tell something's bothering you...if you want to talk about it, I'll listen."
Duskfeather:
She shot after the filly grabbing her tail
Silverthorn:
She jumps forward, using her wings to propel her, and lands in the middle of the filly’s path.
Icewind:
"Get her!" He snapped at them.
(I gtg for the day, bye!)
Moonsky:
"I'm fine."
Skysong:
She darted away trying to get back to the trees
Silverthorn:
She shrugs. “I don’t have any milk.”
Skysun:
Her eyes darkened, "Are...you ok, Moonsky?" She asked.
Darkstone:
"Nope." He laughed.
Aquafeather:
”I get it.” She whinnies. “Don’t hesitate to ask for her help though. Just because she is not leading doesn’t mean she can’t advise you. Currently, I think you are going with Skyspring and Feathersky. You can pick someone else if you want.”
Icewind:
"Do you have a better solution?" He hissed at her.
Moonsky:
He drank a little. "Thanks."
Skysong:
Tears filled her eyes. "Mama!" She cried again
Duskfeather:
"Sir...she can't eat grass yet. She's not weaned. It's way too dangerous to wean her now anyway." She nickered.
Skysun:
She approached with a wingful of water, "Here," She nickered to Moonsky.
Galewind:
"I do. I just think you're being a little too hard on her. She was trying to protect Moonsky, in case the filly didn't survive, and he wouldn't be sad over it." SHe said. "But I understand why you did it. Who else is coming?"
Skysong:
"Cant." She bleated, she had tried it before. (She's only a week or so old)
Skyspring:
She explaned to Moonsky. She wateched his face as he understood what she ment. "Oh my son....."
Moonsky:
"I knew." He said. "Now please go away Mother."
Aquafeather:
She limps up to Galewind. “I think you will have to lead the mission.” She says sadly. “I am sorry. Do you understand though why I didn’t want to make Skyspring lead?”
Skysun:
She nuzzled Moonsky, "I'll go get you some water while you talk with your mother." She said getting up, her stomach knotted with tension as she trotted to the nearest stream.
Icewind:
He wondered if foals could eat grass before they were weaned. "Go eat some grass," He said, despising having to talk to the naive filly softly. "It's good"
Skyspring:
"Yes please."
Skysun:
"Skyspring? I'm guessing you want to talk to Moonsky privately before you go look for your daughter?" She asked, trying to sound as calm as possible.
Skysong:
Her stomach rumbled from days of hunger. "Hungry!"
Icewind:
"She's waiting for you with the herd," He said, making sure to be as vague as possible.
Silverthorn:
She nods, making sure to stay close in Skysong so she could catch the filly if she ran away.
Duskfeather:
"Yeesh! Alright, sir!" She nickered.
Darkstone:
He chuckled and muttered under his breath. "Like to see you try. You can't even fly." He made sure no one else heard him.
Skysong:
"Where is Mama?"
Icewind:
He led them back to their temporary camp. He glared at his steeds. "Another word about this from any of you, I will kill you." He snarled.
(This is hilarious, I love it)
Duskfeather:
"And that disturbs me..." She muttered honestly.
Darkstone:
He laughed. "She thinks you're her father."
Duskfeather:
Was seriously disturbed by this whole thing.
Skysun:
She nods slightly
Skyspring:
"No. I'll tell him myself." She whispered.
Skysong:
She followed Icewind like a little puppy.
Silverthorn:
She smirks and lets go of Skysong’s wing.
(LOL)
Icewind:
He was startled, then decided to play it to his advantage. "Follow us." He said.
Skysun:
She visibly relaxed, "I can be there when you tell him though..." She whispered back.
Skyspring:
"I can tell him." She whispered.
Skysong:
"Ok Papa." She said (Clueless child)
Aquafeather:
”We should‘t reward Skyspring for lying to us. She is still a welcome member of this group.” She explains.
Skysun:
She glanced at Skyspring momentarily, "Me!?" She whispered, "W...wouldn't be better c...coming from you?"
Icewind:
He made sure to speak softly. "Yes, I have. COme with us, and we'll take you to her."
(*vomits*)
Skyspring:
She walked over to Skysun and whispered. "You can tell him if you want to."
Darkstone:
"What's that kid doing out here?"
Skysun:
She fell silent, the weight of the other secret Skyspring had put on her caused her heart to feel heavy. She didn't want to lie to Moonsky anymore, but she didn't want to break Skyspring's trust.
Skysong:
"Have you seen my Mama?" She asked her voice a soft bleat
Icewind:
He saw the filly. He smiled evilly. "We can use her as leverage." He said.
Skysong:
"Mama!" She bleated.
Aquafeather:
”She broke our trust by lying to us. Are you sure that you are not hiding anything else?“ She asks Skyspring.
Skysun:
"Sure...her methods were wrong, but she did it with the right intentions."
Galewind:
"That's kinda harsh, Aquafeather." She said.
Skyspring:
'Then I am going by myself to find my foal. I don't need pegasi who don't trust me coming with me."
Aquafeather:
”Good. Now, I am not sure if Skyspring should lead the mission anymore since she lied to us about something this important. She can still come, but I don’t think she should be in charge.” She glares at Skyspring.
(I don't know!!!! =)
(What are we supposed to do about Skyspring's OTHER secret, you know, the one where Moonsky's condition is more dire then she let on? I don't know how Skysun should react...XD)
(Icewind can't fly. he has a broken wing)
Icewind:
"Let's go," He told them. He cantered towards where Silverthorn and Duskfeather went, annoyed he couldn't fly.
Skysong:
"Go way!" She cried trying to yank her wing free. "MAMA!"
Silverthorn:
Spotting the filly, she lunges forward, grabbing one of Skysong’s wings.
Skysong:
She cried over and over, "MAMA MAMA!"
Silverthorn:
She follows Duskfeather.
Galewind:
"No." She said.
Skysun:
She flicks her ears, looking at Skyspring.
Duskfeather:
"I'll get her." She snortss, flying towards the filly.
Darkstone:
"Can't. She doesn't seem to be able to fly."
Icewind:
"Why did you come back here?! Get her!" He yelled.
Aquafeather:
”Does anyone else have anything they have been hiding and would like to share?!? She asks, quite mad at Skyspring.
Darkstone:
He flew toward the noise and spotted a small filly. He raced back to Icewind. "I found a filly!" he said.
Moonsky:
'It's fine."
Skysun:
"I really am sorry, Moonsky." She said softly, "I never meant to keep secrets from you..."
Icewind:
"Yes." He said.
Darkstone:
"Want me to check it out?" he asked
Duskfeather:
"Sounds like a filly..." She nickered pricking her ears.
Silverthorn:
”It sounded like someone calling for their mother.” She whispers.
Moonsky:
"FIne." He said
