Story Line:
It was hundreds of years before Nightwing ever came into exsistanse. Spiderwing had not yes sired the 5 herds. Before Spiderwing, there were 6 main herds.
The Herds included:
Rain Herd, known for its wet and humid climate;
Scorched Herd, known for its hot temperatures and dry land;
Sky Herd, known for its lushes meadows and clear open skys;
Boulder Herd, known for its mountains and rocky landscape;
Ice Herd, known for its icey, tundra like climate
Lone Herds, known for its loners. They lived in groups of 50-100 all across the vain. The other Herds felt awkward talking about them as loners, so they gave them the creative name of Loner Herds.
One day, a large up-rise and continental quake (The continental drift) sent The Herds into panic. They banded together, unaware of any better way to stay safe during the horrific quakes. A final violent quake split the banded Herds into 2. The western half returned to normal life, splitting back into the original 6 Herds. The eastern half was forced to flee even farther east to the eatern coast of Anok. They are able to decide an Over-stallion, and most captains kept their rank, but the Herd was shaken and confused. Would they be able to adapt to their new life? Would they be able to live with their once sworn enemies?
Jungle Herd (Rain Herd) Sun Herd (Sky Herd)
Desert Herd (Scorched Herd)
Mountain Herd (Bolder Herd)
Snow Herd (Ice Herd)
They are all on the WESTERN half of Anok. When they banded together, they got split. Half of them fled west BACK TO THE TERRITORIES and continued life. The other half fled EAST and are now sheltering in the Interior\Eastern Coast. That half is the half that we are playing as. All the characters, ^^ they are in the eastern half that fled to the interior. So itsa bunch of steeds from different herds that are now living together as a herd in the interior. Thats why the format had (one of the original 6 herds). This herd is most likely kinda the origins of the ancient lake herd. Its kind of like in Landfall when the refugees lived in camps in the trap. They try to avoid each other and have separate little Camps.

Bye!))
Sunstreak: She nuzzled her dam. "There were this hug (Huge) thig (Thing) and it bwew (Blew) me away" She said
Dewmoon:
She nodded, smiling. “Not at all, Silverstream. It was the right thing to do,” she snorted. She smiled at Petalroot’s affectionate gaze, and giggled at her frustrated grumbling when Silverstream dashed to her filly.
( lol xD )
Woodwind looked at Echolake, "You look like you are about to faint." he said worried he muzzled her gently drinking in her scent and she muzzled him back.
Echolake, "Thank you." she said to the medicine mare, "And really Woody, of course I look like I am about to faint, I lost blood all the way up here, and have been for the past 15-20 minutes!" she said a little flustered but not much.
This ship must proceed!! XD they have never gotten anywhere in any of the Rps I am in!! XD))
Sunstreak: She bleated again and flapped her wings uselessly
Dewmoon:
She was very grateful for the mint leaves.
Outside, it was absolutely chaotic. As she had first stepped out, the winds had slammed her to the right side, smashing her against the wall of the cave. Her wind had been knocked out of her, and for a moment, it felt like she had broken her wind.
Luckily, she hadn’t. Otherwise she would have died. She continued forward, making sure she didn’t brace her wings outwards towards the wind. The hollow bones of her wings could snap easily against this wind if pushed hard enough.
Dewmoon scanned the barren interior. So far, she couldn’t see anything. She took each step carefully, with a pause in between to look for the filly.
Petalroot:
Petalroot squinted in confusion. “Sunstreak?“ She glanced to Dewmoon. Dewmoon knew of every foal and youngster in every camp. Dewmoon flicked her ears towards them.
Dewmoon trotted over, and gave the details. “Sunstreak is a four moon old filly, a part of the Ice Herd encampment-“ Dewmoon abruptly cut off as she went deathly pale. Petalroot frantically widened her eyes.
“What is it, Dewmoon? Spit it out!”
Dewmoon swallowed. “Sunstreak- is a dud. With no father, and no one to carry her up with the herd,” Dewmoon whispered. Petalroot looked away.
“Oh Ancestors, please be with us,” she breathed. Dewmoon closed her eyes.
“I can find her,” Dewmoon snorted. Petalroot abruptly stood.
“No, you are not going out th-“
“I said I can find her. Not that I will, Petalroot. That’s up to you. If you’re willing to risk that filly’s life, so be it,” Dewmoon snorted. Petalroot sighed, knowing perfectly well what she’d decide.
“Alright, go, but don’t stay out for long,” Petalroot snorted. “And, take this,” she muttered, hastily grabbing a few mint leaves from the pile. “They’ll keep you calm as you go out there. And remember: Absolutely no flying,” Petalroot schooled. Dewmoon nodded, and then cantered out of the cave.
Petalroot gently held her wings together, closed her eyes, and sent a silent prayer to the Ancestors.
Amberroot:
"I know you should be fine, but still, my job as a medicine mare is to help all injured steeds, no matter how insignificant an injury may be. It still requires my attention." She said again, then flew towards Echolake.
She ripped off a piece of the moss with her teeth and placed a thick piece where the cut was, then tied to remaining strands around the mare's neck so the bandage would stay in place.
"There. That should do it. When the tornado blows over, come find me and I can put a numbing agent on it so it won't get infected." She said simply.
Echolake, "I should be fine, But I will let you cover it." she said calmly looking down at the damage done by the tornado.
Amberroot:
She had been fluttering around her fellow Scorched herd steeds, making sure her herd mates were okay and healthy. When everyone was accounted for, she left her herd and started flying around the different herds, asking if anyone needed assistance.
Luckily, she was able to grab some moss from a nearby tree and she had been using that single resource to help her with any patient in the calm sky.
She noticed Stonewing surrounded by his mate and a colt and a limp looking filly. She immediately flew over to them. "Excuse me? I am Amberroot, a medicine mare. I can help you, if you need it." She nickered kindly, nodding towards Echolake.
"That cut could get infected if not covered."
Woodwind, "What is happening!" he said loudly though it didn't sound very loud over the winds down bellow, "Where is mom, I want to make sure that she is ok!" he said a little worried, he wanted to stay by one of his parents side just to make sure that everyone would be ok.
Woodwind, "Lake, we need to get to my dad!" he shouted as they broke the cloud layer, one of the last few to get up there, "He will know what to do!" he said taking the lead, which wasn't the most usual thing that he did when he was with Echolake, but he had an idea of just how high in the sky his father was, so he quickly shot up soon enough found him, "Dad!" he screamed in a panic hovering with Echolake right beside him hovering too.
Whitefall:
Whitefall nodded, taking no notice of the way the stallion carried his leg. But, once they flew closer to the herd, he did notice it, but knew if Eaglefire needed to tell him something, he would.
(oH YES me beautiful bipolar Iden)
Eaglefire:
He held his injured leg at an angle to keep Whitefall from seeing it. He hadn't been able to look the cut over, but he could tell it wasn't severe, most likely just a flesh wound.
He glanced at Whitefall and peered down at the raging tornado that was still going on. He sighed deeply, his emerald eyes content and stern, "Just rest Whitefall. You did good, but now there isn't much we can do except save our strength for when we need it." He nickered, then looked over the herd, subconsciously finding himself looking for that Scorched herd mare that ran into him.
There was something about her that he enjoyed.
Whitefall:
Whitefall flew up to Eaglefire after assisting a Weanlings to the greater heights. A lot of the younger weanlings who weren’t the best at flying were being intensely supervised, but the one he had just helped had faked his ability until then.
Whitefall looked expectantly to Eaglefire, waiting for further orders from his mentor.
( Nah I’m good lol )
( Oh woops didn’t see that heheheheheh. Sorry, I skim read the last of the comments because I too excited xD )
(Nightmist, can you respond to Eaglefire? He be looking for his Padawan (Star Wars reference) XDD)
Cinderfrost,
She did her best to stay calm, most of the strong winds had subsided because of how high in the air she was, but she still let the currents toss her around, not wanting to get hurt by fighting it
Amberroot:
At the first signs of the twister, she grabbed any pegasi who were around her, regardless of the herd differences, and herded them all into the sky. She was happy to see that all the captains and over-stallions were quickly clearing the area. She lifted off after Duskheart and pumped her slender wings.
Her Ancestors were from Scorched herd, so she could easily fly high and fly quickly, and her thin body easily broke through the rushing winds.
But, because of the low light and the panic inside her bones, she missed to see the large Eaglefire scanning the land below him for any straggling pegasi.
The medicine mare flew straight into the stallion, but with his large size, the impact did nothing but slow him down and surprise him. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you!" She screamed to him over the rushing winds, and to her surprise, he smiled and pointed upward.
He shoved her upwards with his head, forcing her to keep flying. He continued to look for any pegasi left on the ground, "What a brave captain..." She thought and continued flying.
Hailsun: He galloped into the air and flew as high as he could go.
Cinderfrost,
she nodded back at Twistflight
Rainmist: She jumped into the air and flew as high as above the cloud layer
Twistflight looked back at Cinderfrost, "TRY TO KEEP CALM AS BEST YOU CAN!" he yelled back in a calm yet supportive voice.
Sorry had to eat dinner, and I didn't have the time to say bye!)
Cinderfrost,
she took deep breaths doing her best to calm herself.
Cinderfrost,
her mind was racing, as she let the winds toss her around, her muscles had luckily relaxed but that didn't stop her from being scared
Echolake perked her ears at the sound of a stallion yelling about a tornado, "WOODWIND COME ON WE HAVE TO GET INTO THE SKY AND ABOVE IT NOW!!" she yelled then galloped into the sky, and was soon breaking the clouds hearing wing beats below her, she took a glance back and saw Woodwind, "That a relief." she thought but kept flying up until she broke through the clouds and was above them instead of in them , and then Woodwind was right beside her
Tideflight didn't even think before he was off the ground and soon enough he was above the clouds, gulping for air but keeping it in for a long time too.
(Way to lazy to write out all my OCs)
All my Ocs,
They all flew into the sky, as quickly and carefully as possible
Cinderfrost,
she felt tense, but she took in some deep calming breaths and her muscles slowly relaxed,
Twistflight got into a wind current, and spread his wings out all the way, not flapping much and letting the wind carry him, and he didn't even try to go against it, "Just keep calm, and don't try to stop anything, you know that if Cinderfrost gets behind the wind will carry her back up to you." he thought calmly closing his eyes, but staying in the air without even having to think about it.
(Do da do, keepin track of like 6 Rps at once, but me can handle it XD)
Cinderfrost,
"We can try staying up here!" she yelled back.
Twistflight, "I Can tell, but I am also wondering if staying up here would be safer!" he yelled over the howling winds.
Whitefall:
Whitefall nodded, immune to his teasing. Whitefall didn’t understand it, if he was to be honest. He squinted down through the clouds, attempting what his mentor had just told him.
“I see.... a hare, frolicking through the woods, not seeing mischievous eagle flying overhead. In a moment it should recognize the signs of danger, but....” Whitefall trailed off as he looked away from it. Poor hare, he thought to himself.
Stormwind,
she looked around Scorch Herds camp, keeping track of their numbers, and what pegasi they were
Whitefall:
Whitefall watched the pegasi below in fjord for a while, and then gently shook out his mane. He turned to Eaglefire. “What am I to do next in my training?” He asked.
Woodwind landed calmly, though he had a rough time coming out of the wind current but he stayed calm and landed beside Echolake like nothing was wrong, cause really was anything wrong? he smiled away as he grazed beside Echolake calm and steadily picking at the grass and ripping it up.
Rainmist: "How are the other herds doing?" She asked the lead mare
Amber root:
She chuckled, “It probably takes a lot of effort with those large, bulging muscles. But, at the same time, did you see the size of their wings? Totally massive-not like our long, slender wings.” The mare quipped, “We’re shaped like a wasp, they’re shaped like a bear.“
She said, watching both stallions leave and fly North.
Rainmist: "We're doing fine, just adjusting" She said with a smile
Rainmist: She nickered a greeting to Stormcloud after landing in her herd's area
( Is the mare Stormcloud? )
Hailsun: He grazed happily. A shadow crossed over him and he looked up to see a mare flying overhead
Whitefall:
He had taken off after Eaglefire, following him sharply. When they slowed, he looked down at the camps. He nodded. “Difficult to find,” he agreed.
Duskheart:
"Hm? Oh hello Amberroot!" She returned the greeting then turned her gaze back to the bulky steeds. "Im not sure. Probably in the Sun Patch." She chuckled.
"Do you think we look weird to them?" She said nodding to the Bolder Herd steeds. "They're so bulky and big. How do they fly? Same with those Ice Herd Steeds. Those Ice Herd steeds are big AND tall. How do they get off the ground?"
Rainmist: She flew over the camps of the different herds happily. She loved that flying alone let her be care free
Eaglefire:
He nodded then unfurled his wings and leapt off with a mighty kick, pumping his massive wings to gain altitude. He flew up to the club layer, but stayed beneath the clouds so he could find what he was looking for. Boulder herd and Ice herd were in the Northern-most part of the Eastern interior borders.
Eaglefire sharply rounded a corner then flew over a crested hill. On the other side was a small fjord. Boulder herd's camp was on one side of the fjord and Ice herd was on the other side.
Eaglefire looked at Whitefall then nodded, "There is the camp. Like I said, not the easiest place to find. But, it is a good location. It's colder up here-like we're used too and the fjord and crested hill in front of it remind me of home." He said to the captain in training.
