Plot/Summary:
Thousands upon thousands of years after Echofrost left Rahhki to start a new life, a new family, with Storm Herd, the Sandwens have... changed. How, may you ask? Well, they started getting... greedy. More and more have left the Realm, in search of gold, diamonds, crystals, and priceless objects... and lands.
One large group of Sandwen people have discovered Anok. A Herd of glowing Kihlari, they had said, had appeared from the heavens.
They said that as the Kihalri looped down towards them, the wind had calmed, as if it had been tamed.
Allowing the Sandwens to discover Anok.
They now have a camp, by a bay once called Crabwing's Bay. Now, the Sandwen's call it "Pearllaor."
The Pegasi of Anok are furious. Pegasi now guard their foals like their lives depend on it, they kick down trees to make block the Sandwen's path ways, they steal the Sandwen's things and toss them in the ocean, anything to try to force the Sandwens to leave their once beloved home.
But the Sandwens won't budge. And worse, they have started building. Already there are tall wooden or clay or straw houses along the bay.
And even worse, they have built a huge stable for the few pegasi that they have already captured. Named them, broke them, tamed them.
But what about the rest of Anok? Well, they live in Herds.
Spider Herd. The Herd of the strongest and boldest pegasi. They bare their teeth at any enemy, and always have a slightly selfish personality. They also think of themselves as the best of the best. Spider Herd steeds have no problem with taking risks, and are probably most likely the ones that pranked the Sandwen's, or stole their items. Most Spider Herd steeds have black somewhere on their bodies, either the feathers, mane and tail, or legs.
Wither Herd. Weakest of the three Herds. They are mostly thin, because of stress. Most have Jungle Herd blood, and they all sleep in nests, or in piles of leaves or pine needles. Personality wise, they are squirmy and fast, and follow commands without thinking. Despite their shape and size, they are able to attack well when needed. Most of the pegasi captured by the Sandwens are Wither Herd steeds, though.
Spiral Herd. The most agile, brave, and fierce pegasi. All Spiral Herd steeds are descendants of Desert Herd. They are tall and thin, but muscular and strong. They are colorful and beautiful steeds, and are envied by Spider Herd and Wither Herd. If a Sandwen has ever seen a Spiral Herd pegasus, they usually only get a glimpse, before the steed gallops to the jet streams. It is how Spiral Herd escapes, and no pegasus in Spiral Herd above the age of 1 doesn't know how to ride a jet stream.
The over-stallion of Spiral Herd, however, has not picked a lead mare. Rattlewing is strong and brave, but is still searching. He wants a mare that will love and protect the Herd, but is also willing to risk her life for anyone. Can this mighty over-stallion find the love of his life, while the rest of Anok is in danger? And what about the Sandwens? Will they peacefully go about their days, or will they leave their safe sanctuary and get revenge on the pegasi of Anok?
HAVE FUN!! LETS NOT KILL THIS RP!! XD
Part 2! https://www.theguardianherd.com/messageboard/herd-chat/jet-stream-rp-part-2
Oakwing:
He nods, "Rattlewing." He nickered, trying to keep his anger under control.
Daylin:
"Did the wolf hurt you?" she asked worriedly
Rattlewing:
He pricked his ears and flared into the sky, flying towards the call lightning fast. He landed in front of Oakwing, wings arched and chest puffed. "Why hello there, if it isn't Oakwing."
Ottercloud:
She lowered her muzzle, tears welling up in her eyes. She began singing a song.
"Running from the past Tripping on the now What is lost can be found, it's obvious
And like a rubber ball We come bouncing back We all got a second act, inside of us
I believe I believe that we're just one dream Away from who we're meant to be That we're standing on the edge of Something big, something crazy Our best days are yet unknown That this moment is ours to own."
(Edge of Great- Julie and the Phantoms)
(Also, I'll make a new part soon if you want, but I have my cousin coming over soon)
Rainpine:
"You can stay as long as you like." Rainpine said. He wasn't really planning on leaving the lake until nightfall came upon Spiralherd.
I think we need a new part
Skybreeze:
Her ears flicked backward. "Did you hear that?" She asked Rainpine.
Oakwing:
Approaching Spiral Herd territory, he blared a greeting, announcing his arrival.
Rivermoon:
Pricking her ears, she looked at her friends, "Did you hear that?" She asked, her eyes wide.
Daylin:
"Did the wolf hurt you?" she asked worriedly
(gah, summary?)
Hello??))
(gtg)
(um....)
Skybreeze:
"Yeah," She said flicking her ears.
Rainpine:
"I'm not the best at talking, it's difficult. Especially since pegasi are judgmental and harsh, along with the fact that many of them can be cruel." Rainpine said a little pesimistically.
(Sorry if I seem down, just died in lava loosing all of my resources in one of my favorite mc worlds.)
(This is unrelated but I think this test got it wrong.)
Skybreeze:
"Thanks," She said. "I'm fine talking about it, but I'm not very good at talking in general," She sounded a little sheepish saying that.
(sheepish is just a strange word)
Rainpine:
"It's ok if you don't want to speak about it. Just know I'm here for you, even if we just met." Rainpine said, trying to make her feel more comfortable.
Sabrina:
She put her sketchbooks nd pencils in her bag, and stood up. "Ollie!"she called for her puppy. Ollie came galloping towards her, his tail wagging and ears flopping all over the place. His tongue hung out of his mouth and flapped around. Sabrina laughed and beckoned for Ollie to follow her as they headed back to Pearllaor.
Oakwing:
He approached Spiral Herd Territory, his eyes narrowed and dark. He wasn't entirely in a good mood, nor was he allow Rattlewing to push him around.
Skybreeze:
"Yeah...." She said.
Rainpine: He sighed a bit. "Well, we don't need them. What are they good for if they don't accept someone because they are different? Everyone is different in someway, just back at the herd they are to afraid to show it." Rainpine neighed.
Skybreeze:
"I doubt it, they're too obsessed with flying." She said, swishing her tail.
(ack gtg :(
Rainpine: "One day, they'll accept you down there." He said optimistically. "I just know it." They couldn't shun Skybreeze forever.
Skybreeze:
She gave him a small smile. "Thanks," She said.
Rainpine:
"Well, you're welcomed here anytime." Rainpine neighed, smiling. "I dont' judge. I learned not to a long time ago when I realized how bad it hurt."
Skybreeze:
"Same," SHe said, scuffing the ground with her hoof.
Hey! summary?
Rainpine:
He looked at her small wings, realizing she was a dud. "I see." Rainpine said solemnly. "They don't accept you either. They are just horrible down there." He sighed. "That's why I come down here a lot."
Skybreeze:
She unfolded her wings and flared them out. Both were too small to be able to fly, her right one was a bit smaller than the left, and both were malformed. They were thin at the base, and then verge at the top, and her flight feathers were too short, making it impossible for her to be able to fly.
Rainpine:
"What do you mean?" It sounded like she also had some trouble in the herd. "You seem so nice."
Samara:
She held her hand out for Ottercloud to sniff. "That's so cool!" She said.
Starla:
”We named her Larka.” She stroked Ottercloud. “She is due to have foals in about a week.”
Samara:
"Oh," SHe said. SHe admired the mare's color and conformation, wondering where she came from. "Have you named her?" Samara asked curiously.
Starla:
”I didn’t find her, she was brought here for me to treat.”
Skybreeze:
She shrugged her wings. "If they did, they never showed it." She said.
Samara:
Her eyes widened. "Cool!" She leaned closer, wanting to get a good look at the mare. "Where did you find her?"
Rainpine:
"That's a nice name." He nickered. "I bet that everyone back at the herd likes it to." Rainpine said, trying to compliment her. Although, admittedly, he wasn't very good at it.
Amber (Sunstar): She cocked her head at Ottercloud. “Ottercloud?” She gasped. The mare probably didn’t recognize her, since Sunstar had been born in a different herd, and was taken when she was just a yearling. (Sunstar was in Spiral Herd. And she had probably seen Ottercloud at one time or another, either from stories, or maybe if Ottercloud came to meet someone in Spiral Herd.)
Starla:
She saw Samara. “She was captured just earlier today.”
Skybreeze:
"I'm Skybreeze," She said, her voice soft. She tucked and folded her wings close to her sides, not wanting Rainpine to notice that they were malformed and small.
Samara:
SHe finished cleaning the saddle and walked out of the tack room, hearing voices in the barn. She walked up to the group that was talking, and gasped, seeing the new Kihlara mare.
Re-comment for Rainpine @Riverglade:
"I'm Rainpine." He said. Rainpine didn't really want to tell her about the name everyone in the herd called him, he resented that name. It was from a past life that he had left behind him a long time ago.
(I think we're gonna need a new part soon)
(hiiiiii! what did I miss?)
Daylin:
"Did the wolf hurt you?"
Gunner:
"It's alright," he said gently, leading her to camp.
(@Riverglade when you get back do you wanna continue the Rainpine Skybreeze rp?)
Daylin
She took a few steps toward where she though the camp might be and bumped into Gunner. "sorry again."
Sharpfire:
He looked up at Spidercloud, a little startled as he had been distracted by some random thoughts. "Not much, how about yours?" Sharpfire said knowing it probably wasn't going very well based on observations.
Daylin:
"Sorry," she'd been worried she was lost again
Gunner:
"I'm here," he said softly.
Daylin:
"Gunner?" she hoped he hadn't left, she didn't want to get lost in the forest again
Spidercloud:
She took of and she went around and found sharpfire and landed. "Hey sharpfire how was your day?"
Spidercloud:
"ok I got to go check on the steeds and the foals. Then i'm going to scout around the territory to find routs to find the landwalkers" she was really trying to be a beater lead mare.
Splinterwing:
He shook his head, "Not yet, but i might later..."
Splinterwing:
"I am allowed to speak to my herd," he said coldly.
Splinterwing:
Hearing her voice broke his heart, "Nothing. Just thinking," He mumbled.
Spidercloud:
She saw her mate with Jungleshatter "whats going on" she said with a unknown tone
Foalrain:
She huddled in the corner of the den the mares and foals had hid in. She wouldn't get out. The safer the place, the better. Sure, she was still terrified, but a tiny bit of safety was good. Even if it didn't make her feel any safer.
Greenblaze:
He wondered where Foalrain was. She didn't come out with all the other mares. He poked his head inside the den. He let out a breath. His mate was in there.
Foalrain:
She jumped at the stallion, then realised it was Greenblaze. "Come in," she said, her voice shaking. He sat down next to her. She felt silghtly relaxed in his presence.
(I was gone on a road trip today what did I miss)
Daylin:
She winced. "Thanks for the help. Would you guide me back to camp, please."
(I gtg. See you guys tomorrow!)
Gunner:
He grabbed her hand and pulled her up to her feet.
Daylin:
She didn't know where he was so she stayed still
Sabrina:
After a little while, she put the finishing touches and admired her work. Ollie yapped at her, and ran over to Sabrina with a stick. Sabrina laughed, and played with Ollie for a while.
Starla:
She gave a whistle, and Amber trotted over.
Amber (Sunstar):
She cocked her head at Ottercloud. “Ottercloud?” She gasped. The mare probably didn’t recognize her, since Sunstar had been born in a different herd, and was taken when she was just a yearling.
Splinterwing:
He lowered his head.
Daylin:
She didn't know where he was so she stayed still
Dov:
He nodded, and looked at the anxious mare. "Yes, that'd be great."
Gunner:
He nodded and stretched out his arm for her to grab.
Jungleshatter:
She nuzzled him for a second. "Do what you think will affect the future. In the good way." She trotted off, knowing that Spidercloud would probably run up to Splinterwing and beg him... well... something.
Splinterwing:
He didn't know where to go from here. Did he follow his heart...Or do what was best for his herd. He knew the answer. But that didn't mean he had to like it...
Daylin:
She nodded, "Will you help me up." She needed to get home before she fell asleep where she was sitting
Starla:
She saw the rope burns, and began to treat them as well. “Perhaps I should bring Amber over? She might be able to help Larka calm down.”
Gunner:
"And we will," he said softly.
Dov:
He shook his head. "All I know is they used ropes." He glanced at Larka's burns on her neck from the ropes.
Ottercloud:
Her eyelids drooped tiredly. But she refused to sleep. She had to get out of this place and find Oakwing. But something told her... she wouldn't be able to.
Daylin:
"I promised her I'd free her, even if it was the last thing I do."
Starla:
”Do you know how she was captured?” She asked Dov, keeping one hand on Ottercloud’s side.
Gunner:
He exhaled and rubbed the back of his neck. "The mare will be free again, I promise," he said softly.
Daylin:
"I felt lied to when the kihlara got hurt and I couldn't believe I was helping trap something that deserved to be free, to try and lock up a spirit that should be free."
Gunner:
He inhaled sharply and nodded.
(recomment for Fire Tamer :)))))
Jungleshatter:
She lashed her tail and arched her neck, dipping her head after a moment. Her mind swirled and she swallowed after a moment.
@Firesong can you continue with spidercloud and splinterwings situation I don't know what should happen
(Hey! Summary please?)
Daylin:
"I was a little mad at you when you helped them capture the kihlara, well, a lot mad at you, but I don't hate you. I honestly was trying to get home, I think, but I ended up lost in the forest. I'm also not great at listening when being told to do things."
Gunner:
He grunted. "Because I feel like I always tell you things but you do the opposite. I thought you were annoyed." He knelt beside her.
Hey!
Daylin:
"Hate you? No! Why would I hate you?" she sat down and rubbed her hurting leg, she'd need to go to a doctor to get them to check on it when she had a chance
Gunner:
"Do you hate me?" He blurted.
Jungleshatter:
She lashed her tail and arched her neck, dipping her head after a moment.
Splinterwing:
He knew she was right. As bad he wanted to stay with Spidercloud, he need to do what is best for the herd, "I will think on it." He said looking into the mares eyes.
(gtg for a bit)
Daylin:
She looked around, forgetting that she couldn't see for a moment. "Yeah?"
Gunner:
"Daylin?" He said in surprise, seeing her.
Jungleshatter:
"And I expect you to protect it many more. Which is why you need a new lead mare. You KNOW that Spidercloud is not a good one. Her job is to protect the Herd with you, yet she leaves without announcement. She fails to follow clear orders. She is not smart enough, either. Don't you see? All she wants is power, and to impress. She is selfish."
Daylin:
She heard stomping and flinched, please don't be a wild kihlara! she thought.
Spidercloud:
she realized she had to toughen up so she got up and went back to spiderherd territory
Splinterwing:
He glared, "I had it under control!" He snapped, "Though i do agree with you about Spidercloud. I Have protected this herd for years!"
Gunner:
He exhaled and angrily and stomped through the woods.
Jungleshatter:
She narrowed her eyes. "Tell me the truth. Do you agree with me that Spidercloud needs to toughen up? Actually, you know what, you both do." She flared her wings, making a small gust of wind.
Splinterwing:
He looked up at her his eyes wide.
Daylin:
She struggled to her feet and limped back toward camp, hoping she was going in the right direction.
Jungleshatter:
She trotted to Splinterwing, her wings flared.
Spidercloud:
She went a little away then went into a bush and started crying
Daylin:
When no answer came she winced. Wounded, unarmed and alone in the forest again. She really should be smarter.
Gunner:
He sighed and walked back to camp.
