(im posting #2!)

Charlotte: -she gave the harshest look she could do (wasn't harsh at all ;-;) at the person who roped the thrashing Kihlari and loosened the rope- Fly boy, fly to your herd.

(NUUU)

( Bai..... Oof,,,,,, )

(ahhh gtg cya!)

( oof )

Tora turned to Tormalina and Chaomile flying over to the scene. Tora clicked her tounge to Anarethe who twisted her ears and moved a little lower.

Tormalina: -flys Chaomile over- whats happening?

Chaomile: -shrugs- i dont know

Cedarpond looked down and saw what was happening with Apspentail. She whinnied and she landed beside him and lashed at the rope that wouldn't cut. "Let Rainflame go!!!!" She screamed.

Tora saw what was happening also and called down to William. "Tamala escaped and there are two new Khilari!" She screeched. She hovered over them waiting for the moment to land.

( Omg WE HTI 1,000 COMMENTS!!!!!! EEEEEIIIIYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

(i need to catch up AGAIN!, lOL XD!)

Springsong: -nods- I'd have to agree with him.. the landwalkers have enough Kihlari, why capture the last wildlings left..?

Khallo: "Come with our riders. They will not hurt you."

Aspentail: -whirled around to face Khallo- "I am going with no one."

Khallo: -stood taller and more protectively-

Aspenatil: -Both were equally muscular, but Aspentail was a litttle taller than Khallo.- "Like I said, let my friend go, and we can go our seperate ways. Make this easy. Just, Let. Him. Go." he said, both to Omari and Khallo

Aspentail dipped his head and tried to bite the rope with his equally sharp teeth. He pulled the rope and sawed his teeth together, but the rope wouldn't cut. "Ugh! This is torture! Let go of my friend, and we can go our seperate ways. No bloodshed. Just, let him go." he said to Omari, not caring if he could understand him or not

*Tinkulakha

Charlotte: -she cringed at all the sharp whinnies she understood-

Springsong: I'm trying to save this pegasus Aspentail, and I'm waiting for the chance to escape. LET HIM GO PITIFUL LANDWALKER! -she reared a Tatuma(forgot the name XD)- Your hurting your own kind!

(here0

Aspentail was watching the mare's interact with the humans and behind him he heard a pegasi. "No. Not one pegasi...3 of them!" he said to himself, darting toward the sound. He saw Rainflame, grounded by a rope tied to his neck. "Rainflame!" he said, landing. He stood over the stallion. "What have they done to you?" He whinnied harshly. He followed the rope with his eyes to a tall boy holding the rope in his hands. "What are you doing?!!! Who are you!?? Let him go!!!!" he shrieked at Omari, flaring his wings.

~~~~

Glen saw the new stallion towering over the downed one. "Easy boy. We don't want to hurt you."

~~~

Aspentail: -he only heard, "-=-2-w-1-1`$#!" coming from the boy who rode an apollossa stallion. "Why do you enjoy those Landwalkers on your backs!? Rear!! Buck!! Save yourselves from the clutches of those two-legs!!" he screamed

~~~

Khallo: "But, why? They give us food and treat us well."

Aspentail: "They strap those big, heavy, things to your back! And put that metal rod inside your mouth! That is abuse!" he again, screamed. He looked at the rope holding Rainflame. He reared and tried to cut the large rope with his sharpened hooves, but the rope was intact. He reared and came down on the rope once more, but it barely ripped. "What kind of magic is this?" he balked.

(AHH! HERE!)

Springsong: We need to save him before he becomes a tame hopeless "Kihlari"

Charlotte: -she shrugged and landed Springsong, somewhat a natural in this new activity- We shouldn't interfere..

Springsong: -snorts and snaps at her- Can you ever be on my side just this once??

Charlotte: ... -looks into her eyes and knows this is important to her- Okay.. -she urged her to lift off-

Tamala's flight feathers had grown back and she smirked. She bucked at the stall and the door flung open. SHe walked out warily. There was no one in the barn. She smiled at such luck and flew out of the barn.

Tora hopped on Arenathe who said. "More tricks today?" She said it in their whistle language though. Tora smiled and answered, "Yup. But maybe we'll fly around first," She said in whistle form.Arenathe whistled the victory cry and Tora laughed. "C'mon!" She whistled and Arenathe flew up and did about 3 loopty-loops before going into a spinning spiral. After she had balanced out, Tora stood on her back and raised her arms and shouted, "Woo-Hoo!" before looking at the sunrise. She laid down on Arenathe's back and watched the slow moon decedning and the sun rising more and more.

( back )

Springsong: Oh no.. they've got Rainflame!

Charlotte: Know him/her?

Springsong: Barely, but were all in Storm herd.

Charlotte: -nods, trying not to be rude while defending Springsong- I agree to, that was kinda biast.

Springsong: AND RUDE! AND WIMPY!

Charlotte: And rude.. -she whispered softly-

(none taken. Will you please make part 2 soon?)

Rainflame stared at them. "What--What- Uh, I'm Rainflame. I'm a pegasus that flew across the Dark Water to escape my homeland. Who are you?"

"I'm Tinkulakha," the pinto whinnied. "And my rider is Omari."

Rainflame stared at him. "Why do you like the Landwalkers on your back? Where I come from, we are all mostly free to roam. There are no Landwalkers there."

"And you like that?" Tinkulakha demanded. "The humans give us food and water and we don't have to exercise. We only exercise when they fly us. What else could you want?"

"FREEDOM!" shouted the large former Mountain Herd stallion, rearing onto his hind hooves.

Omari had watched and listened all of this. He could sympathize with Rainflame, but he couldn't really understand his point, since the Sandwens always had captive pegasi. He walked slowly closer, uncoiling the rope on his shoulder. "Settle down, boy," he said to the angry wild pegasus.

Rainflame landed on his hooves again, snorting in anger and confusion. "You can hear me?"

Omari nodded. "Yes, but most Sandwens can't. I'm called a Meld, but I try to hide it."

Rainflame ignored this and bolted down the path he had created into the rainforest. He had to get back to Storm Herd and warn them!

"After him!" Omari called to Glen. "Forget the race!" He charged into the rainforest, once more on Tinkulakha's back. He saw a flash of blue and red, which he recognized at the stallion's wings. He unslung his lasso and began a few preparatory swings. They rounded a bend in the trail and found Rainflame staring at them steadily and angrily. Omari reacted instinctively, not thinking. He whirled the lasso up to Rainflame's head, tightening it around his neck. Then his other lasso darted out to bind the stallion's front hooves when he reared again. Rainflame slammed down to the ground, defeated. "Now we need to figure out how to get you back," Omari said to the stallion.

(insult to me im the youngest, no offense meant)

(I so hate my middle sister, Flamefrost, older siblings are worst and not only girls :p)

(DONT BLOW UP NOTIFICATIONS PLEAAAASE!)

Tormalina: -sarcastic- how come girls dont get to race huh? you might say were annoying but that doesn't mean were stupid

Chaomile: yeah!

Reyena: I agree -smirks-

Katamiuta: me too. girls rock!

Annareth: haha yeah! lets all race and see who wins tomorrow at dawn -smirks-

Tormalina(-eye roll- still suspened in air): dives down and land with a flip

(AND SOMEONE PLAYED MY CHARACTER :p o wow. And my leavings was not my fault my horrible sister made me go to her concert for three hours and i have to go now our else i dont get woken up AND i didnt have time to do my homework)

(oofers)

(I NEED TO CATCH UP -.-)

(SERIOUSLY 280 NOTIFICATIONS! WHAT THE PEGASUS!)

(awwh bai c:)

(gtg. sowwy.)

Charlotte: -she took in the air and smiled-

Springsong: They're just afraid some mare will win! That's what everyone does! Fight and m- -blabbers-

Charlotte: -she still smiled, even laughing a bit-

Springsong: Why are you so happy? Can't you see I'm hurting!?

Charlotte: I know.. I've just never flew before.

Springsong: ..oh. You never been in the air?

Charlotte: Nope.. but its amazing how your wild pegasus friends can do this any time they want... its really relaxing.

Springsong: -feels herself in the air and perks ears- Guess it is. o;

Khallo: -raised his tail, higher- "I'll race you someday, Hafeena." he shouted over the wind before racing after Tinkulakha.

Springsong: How rude! -about to kick off-

Charlotte: Easy girl.

Springsong: He underestimated me!! I'll show them- -she was rearing and flapping her wings while Charlotte grasped her mane and pulled her back-

Charlotte: Not all the races can be won.

Springsong: But-

Charlotte: This isn't pegasus life. We're obediant. Surely you know how it feels?

Springsong: -bows head-

Charlotte: C'mon we can practice flying some more! Don't ya want to get used to it without worrying about some race?

Springsong: I guess.. -kicks off giving Khallo and Tinkulakha a glare-

(ok, byee!!!! I might have to go soon to)

Khallo swooped down beside Tinkulakha. "Why did we-" he stopped short of his sentense and saw a wild Kihlara standing a few winglengeths in front of them "Woah. Where are you from? What's your name?

(gtg to bed, continue tomorrow)

"Later!" Omari shouted up. "I challenged Glen and Kholla, and only them! Maybe the winner can race you afterwards." At that moment, Tormalina pounded up to the arena. "I'm here!" she said breathlessly. "On your marks, get set, . . . GO!!" Omari directed Tinkulakha expertly and they thundered across the grass, then into the sky. Even with the pinto's speed, Glen began to overhaul them. Omari shook his head in amazement. "Kholla is a steed worth watching," he said to himself. "Go get 'em, Tinkulakha!" The pinto flapped his broad wings at ever-increasing speeds, drawing even with Kholla. The two stallions traded leads, one overhauling by a nose, the other by a head, the other by a neck, etc. Finally, they were circling the farm and Omari had gained a comfortable lead. He noticed a shape grazing on the ground. "What's that?" he muttered. Then, as they swooped lower, he identified it. "Kihlara!" he cried. He landed in the field, staring at the steed.

Rainflame stared back at this boy, uncomprehending.

Charlotte: -rolls eyes and laughs a bit at Khallo and Springsong squabbling-

Springsong: That's offensive. :3

Khallo: "What ever you need to tell yourself to help you sleep at night." he said, flexing his wings

Springsong: -gets competitive herself- Lets not get so sure of ourselves. >:3

Khallo: "HA YOU THOUGHT!!!!!!" he said, prancing

~~~

Glen swallowed. "I-uhh..mm....Er......It's fine with me.....Omari? Is it cool with you?" he asked, rubbing his neck, awkwardly

Charlotte: -googly eyes-

Springsong: YA'LL GONNA BE TOAST ON- -whinnies loudly-

Glen thought about it. "Omari, what you think?" he asked, not really caring if they join or not

Charlotte: -she got a hang of the feeling of flight and the speed she was going at and slowed Springsong down- Let's watch these two race.

Springsong: -snorts- I can race em any day.

Charlotte: ...why dont we?

Springsong: -nickers- Like your attitude, she dived down- I WANNA JOIN AND BEAT U WIMPS!! -only loud whinnying

Charlotte: -says it for her- Can we join? :}

Tinkulakha felt his rider's anticipation and excitement and he too tightened his muscles, preparing for the coming race.

(Dawnfeather? We need u)

Glen cracked his knuckles. "Good. Get used to the view of pegasus butt, because that's all you're gonna see." he said, feeling Khallo's muscles tense at the ready

Omari came in the next morning before dawn, as was normal for stable hands. Of course, now that he owned a Kihlara, he would likely be joining the Sky Guard soon, but habits were hard to break. Coming in, he went straight to Tinkulakha's stall and groomed him in record time. Omari also waxed the young stallion's bright purple feathers for air maneuverability. Omari put on the saddle, girth, and bridle quickly as well. This was the first day that Tinkulakha hadn't protested at all. Standing up to stretch, Omari turned to Glen. "You should be asking yourself the same thing," he teased. "And if the question was, 'Are you ready to race?' the answer is a resounding yes." He led his pinto out into the sunlight and mounted. He looked around for Tormalina, who would start them off. He saw her dashing out of a house towards them and pointed. "She's coming!" he said.

Charlotte: Ready to fly again? -she whispered-

Springsong: -snorts and nods determined-

Charlotte: -she gulped, she'd never flew before. This was her first time- HYA! -she got into a two pointed and Springsong reared, galloping out of the stables and kicking off, the world became smaller and smaller. Charlotte gasped at Springsong gaining altitude, she gripped onto her mane, a bit afraid-

Springsong: If you fall, I catch you. You can't die.

Charlotte: Ik. ^-^

Springsong: she gained speed, passing the stable hand and the secret meld, she zipped through the clouds and Charlotte felt her shirt get damp. She whooped at the speed they were going at, the world zooming past them-

Glen walked Khallo out of the stables then called over his shoulder. "Omari? Are you ready? Ready to lose?"

Glen sighed. "Ture and besides. I'll have Khallo." he said, hugging the stallions neck. He finished tacking up Khallo and hoisted himself onto the stallion's strong back.

Charlotte: -bites lip, wanting to say she could talk to them- Don't worry to much, they leave they leave. Atleast they'll be free. -she finished combing Springsong's long mane and tail and mounted Springsong bareback. She opened the lock to the stable-

(Really? I said DON'T explode my notifications. Oh well.)

Omari nodded sulkily and led Tinkulakha back to the barn. "Tomorrow, then, boy," he said. "We can do this." He put the pinto into his stall and groomed him after untacking him. He tossed his stallion a carrot, then jogged to catch up with Glen going home. "Hey Glen," he said, falling into stride next to his friend. "Good luck tomorrow. You'll need it." The two boys headed to Glen's house together, where Glen's parents had taken in the Skyhope orphans. "Good night," he said when the two of them got to Glen's room. Omari was soon asleep.

Glen: "But,what if they do?!" he asked, picking out Khallo's hooves

(Wez triez)

( no promises :}

( gtg don't blow me up though ;) )

* I know they wont

Charlotte: They won't. I know they wont. -she said a bit suspiciously-

Glen smiled. "Thanks. Zanereth is very pretty, too. She's very obidient to you." he paused. "But, what if they try to fly away?"

(Yes?)

(River?)

Cedarpond pinned her ears at his words.

Charlotte: I'll never get used to that shining stallion you got there. -she remarked while grooming Springsong, more socialble today and paused at his words- I dunno... they seem more obediant.. -she said softly-

Glen moved to Khallo's other side and saw Tamala. "Charolette, we might want to cut their feather's again. They've grown back." he said, grooming Khallo's long, black tail

Glen smiled at Charolette: "Hey!" he said, waving. He grabbed a brush and groomed Khallo.

~~~~

hallo nickered, amused. "Yep. It's a bright and early morning."

Springsong: Guess it is.. did ya grow your flight feathers yet? -she opened her wings, showing off long, newely grown feathers-

Arenathe whinnied to Tora who walked back in and opened it. Tora then walked back out of the barn with Arenathe following closely behind. She didn't mount yet but rubbed her down with her hands and cruved them in weird ways to groom her.

Tamala yawned and woke up. "Is it morning yet?" She asked as she yawned again.

*opened

William: -he climbed down the loft and opened Kinzoh's stall door-

Charlotte: -Charlotte peered over the Springsong's Stall door on the tips of her toes- Hey! -she greeted Glen and opened her stall door to get a curry comb for Springsong-

Tora looked around. "Yeah guess your right.." She said before slipping on her boots and opening the barn door. She breathed in the morning dew air and grabbed her small jacket off a barn beam and stepped out into the light. She still had her mothers necklace around her neck.

Glen was by Khallo's side in an instant, with a big, juicy apple in his hand. "Morning, Khallo!! Here ya go, boy!" he said, tossing the apple to Khallo. Khallo raised his neck higher to catch the apple and caught it in his teeth.

*off

Charlotte: -she stroked Springsong neck- Hello there.

Springsong: Hey! -takes a piece of hay off from her hair-

William: -wakes- Huh? Oh, probably went out early... -snoozes-

x IN ZE MORNING z

Khallo: -yawned and smacked his lips. He took a drink of water then greeting the rising sun-

( up )

---NEXT MORING---

Tora arose bright and early. She was still in the same clothes as she was and she sighed. She stood up and looked around. Where was Charlotte? "CHarlotte?" She called.

Charlotte: -yawns and stretches-

Springsong: -opens wings, flapping them a bit-

Khallo: -all the talking had made him tired and his eyes became heavy and he closed them and slipped into sleep.-

(sure)

Khallo: -huffed and had a "Not amused" look- "I mean, it's okay. I like that they give you treats, but then again, not all Landwalker's are as nice and caring as Glen, Omari, Tora, Tormalina, and Charolette. Some of them are cruel and mean...like my past owners. The nice one's protect you and will always make sure that you are comforable." he said, getting excited because he was going to get branded with Glen tomorrow.

Charlotte: Zzzz

(next day?)

(oops, srry computer glitched)

(HI)

( Yeah I'm here )

Cedarpond had the "Seriously," girl look and rolled her eyes. "It was a firgure of speech Khallo. I mean, what is it liek to live with the landwalkers?" She asked again. She spooked at CHarlotte and calmed down after a minute. Arenathe saw Charlotte leave out of the corner of her eye and whistled the quiet whistle. Tora instantly woke up and looked around. She glared at Arenathe and made the quiet symbol and went back to sleep.

(hewwo?)

Khallo: -growled and trotted tight circles in his stall- "Pet? Me? No...Glen wouldn't treat me like a pet......would he?" he asked himself, stamping his hooves louder at every question

William: -he dozed off to-

Charlotte: -she looked at all the snoozing organisms and smiled- Just a little while longer. -she jumped down and went outside by foot, maybe she'd ride Springsong while all the guards aren't watching her, she peaked over the stable- Psst!

Springsong: AGH! Oh O: Hey!

Charlotte: Can I sleep with you guys today?

Springsong: Sure!

Charlotte: Thanks, I've gotten used to it here..

Springsong: ...me to. Now please get some sleep so I can sleep. :L

Charlotte: Okay... x3 -falls asleep-

Khallo's head shot up. "I am not a pet." he snapped, pinning his ears.

Tamala nodded. "what's it liek living as a pet?" She asked.

"Well, I guess not all of them are competitive...but, all of them have a fighting spirit." he added, munching on hay

"Very competitive." Khallo said, sipping his water. "Sometimes after a race, the loser will challenge the winner for a rematch. Then, the loser of the rematch will ask the winner for another rematch. And so on......That was at least what my old owner did when I lived in 1st clan." he said, his eyes turning cold and hard

Glen brought him into his stall next to Tamala and Hafeena. He gave him some hay and poured him fresh water. He groomed him over one time before striding home. "Night, Khallo." he called, jogging home
