( Is thing ever coming back..? )

Maiya sighed heavily in relief and coughed a tiny bit. She walked up into the loft, gathered her art supplies, and lay on the hay and began doing a sketch.

Glen gave up. "Whatever." he said, walking into Khallo's stall and brushing him off

Maiya rolled her eyes. "No reason too. I've got it covered," She said.

Glen huffed. He was getting annoyed with argueing with Mayia. "Fine. Don't go to the Bora's." he said, but grumbled to himself. "I'm still going to watch you." he grumbled silently and gave Khallo and apple

( Dawnfeather.....? )

Maiya glared at him. "Then clearly haven't met me yet. This is the exact same shade that was on me when I was born. I haven't changed accept my black hair got darker.....and longer," She murmured.

Glen: "But, your never this pale."

A deep growl rumbled in the pit of her throat but she held it in. "I'm always pale. If you ever saw a vampire and then saw me, you would think the vampire is the human and that I'm the vampire," She said, trying to lighten the mood, but still being serious.

Glen: -he looked at her up and down- "Mayia, you're more pale than usual, you look weak and tired, and whenever you talk your voice sounds raspy, I don't think your fine." he said, patting Khallo's neck

Maiya narrowed her eyes to slits and she bit her lip. She closed her eyes and took in a jagged breath. "I agree with Glen," She heard Philip say. She cringed at the thought of going t see a Bora and shook her head and opened her eyes. "I'm not going to some Bora you guys. I'm fine," She exasperated the word fine to sound acidly.

Glen: he folded his arms in front of his body- "I still think we should get you to the Bora." he said, ready to hop on Khallo and take her there

Maiya let Khallo stand so close. She couldn't stop her friends from worrying about her. She sighed and looked around the stables at everyone discussing the possibilities of what was wrong with her.

( Okay XD SO SORRY. SO SO SO SOS SO SO SO VERY SORRY. Typos........ And, Dawnfeather, yeah could you make part four? )

(lol XD)

(HOLY CRIMENY!!! that took an hour to catch up. Plz make part four)

Khallo closed his mouth, but stayed close to her to where his shoulder was bumping against hers.

Maiya pat his head and bit her lip. "Shhh! I know Khallo, Just keep quiet..!" She whispered angrily. It was the first time when she had got annoyed or angry with Khallo. She instantly felt guilty and hated every reacting that way.

Khallo looked at her and sniffed her. "Mayia, you're really warm....." he told her, nuzzling her forehead

Maiya coughed into her sleeve again and swallowed. "I think I'm fine. I should be at least," SHe rasped. SHe stood tall and breathed heavily. Even though her throat felt like stone, she wouldn't tell anyone that.

( lol )

(Oooh)

(Oh!!!! OK I HERE!! PLS NO BE GONE!!!!)

( oh. The stillwaters is a decease. It's an infection in her lungs and often makes it hard to breath and they are often coughing up blood and fainting a lot. It was extremely common a long time ago btu now it is very rare and now it is easily cured. )

(One question: what's the still waters?)

*the

(I'm using pencils *to type so I cant touch the keyboard cause o a ant ;-;)

(AAAWWHH!!!!!! oki... ;-; bye)

Charlotte: What's he Still Waters? -she asked as Springsong kept trying to make her pet her. She couldn't help but giggle and whispered.- One minute, I promise I'll party with you in bit though.

Springsong: Good cause I didn't stay for nothing :3

Charlotte: -rolls eyes playfully-

( gtg )

Glen whipped his head toward Mayia. "Why did Khalllo run away though?! And I think Aspentail watched us open other Kihalri's stall doors so when we were asleep, he must'hv opened the stall door for others....but why though?" -at the word, "still-water" he almost winced.- "We should get you to the Bora." he said jumping on Khallo's back

( What? Pencils types? And what is the bug doing? XD )

(Might be afk issh, I just saw bug so I'm using pencils type ;-;)

Philip glanced at Maiya and the Khilari. "Do you think Maiya has the Still Waters?" He asked. Tora strode into the barn but stopped mid stride. "What's happening?" She asked. She heard the word 'Stillwaters' and gasped. "Whp has it?" She asked. "We don't know if that is what Maiya has okay?" Philip barked. Tora glared at him. "I was jsut asking!" She said before entering the barn with Arenathe following closely behind her.

Maiya opened her mouth to speak but coughed. "Aspentail set Khallo free because Aspentail and Khallo are brothers.." She said.

Glen: -pats Khallo's muzzle- "I don't know how they got ut, but Khallo, Cedarpond, Aspentail, and Hureya all escaped last night."

Glen: -turned to Phillip- "Well, 3 of the Kihlari got out last night. And we think Mayia is sick." -walks back up to the lofta nd grabs the cup to refill it again. Once it's refilled he hands the cup to her again-

Maiya glanced at Charlotte. "I don't know... I think so," SHe said, putting a hand to her throat. Philip nodded, obviously thinking. He glanced at Maiya and the Khilari. "Do you think Maiya has the Still Waters?" He asked. Tora strode into the barn but stopped mid stride. "What's happening?" She asked. She heard the word 'Stillwaters' and gasped. "Whp has it?" She asked.

"We don't know if that is what Maiya has okay?" Philip barked. Tora glared at him.

"I was jsut asking!" She said before entering the barn with Arenathe following closely behind her.

Glen: -turned to Phillip- "Well, 3 of the Kihlari got out last night. And we think Mayia is sick." -walks back up to the lofta nd grabs the cup to refill it again. Once it's refilled he hands the cup to her again-

( lol )

Maiya took the cup of water and drank all of it quickly. She swallowed hard and the coughing seized. She walked down from the loft and sighed freshly, but instantly grew tired from last night. Philip came striding into the barn and observed the observation. "What's going on/" He said in a low, urgent voice. Maiya didn't answer. She had hardly heard him from yawning.

(OMG IT ACTUALLY IS O_O)

Charlotte: -she looked at Maiya, hoping she was alright. Charlotte wondered if she got injured while she was in the jungle looking for the Kihlari.- Are you sick? -she asked in a concerned tone of voice-

Glen grabs a cup of water and hands it to her. "Here. This might help." he said, giving her the cup. He strided back down from the loft and once he saw Khallo again his heart thrummed. He walked over to him and sratched Khallo's favorite itchy spot. "You scared me, boy. I didn't know what happened to you!" he said, looking into his stallions deep turquoise eyes

(That's actually pretty acurate of what's happening between the two)

*passed out

(YAY!!!!!)

Charlotte: -She heard Maiya's voice and turned around, seeing the graceful winged creatures flying down. Her heart tripped. She scanned her eyes over the pegasi, looking for Springsong, but she saw nothing. Charlotte turned her head, ready to accept Springsong hadn't come back, but like a living dream, navy blue wings and long, flowing white mane got her eyes, she squeeled, her voice cracking- SPRINGSONG!!! -she ran forward, not caring if she scared the Kihlari and wrapped her arms around her best friend, sobbing happy tears. into Springsong's neck-

Springsong: -she relaxed, nuzzling Charlotte's shoulder with a content expression. To her, the moment lasted forever, a good moment. She's never felt this happy to see someone, never, but for once, she accepted the fact that she loves a landwalker, she cares for a landwalker.-

Charlotte: -after a long moment she'd let go and saw Maiya passed out and unconcious. She was couciously towards Maiya- Maiya?

( HERE )

Maiya's eyes fluttered open and she doubled over coughing. She coughed into her sleeve and swallowed hard. "Argh..... I'm fine," She said, standing up. She lead Cedarpond into her stall and locked it and then stalked up the loft. She doubled over on her bed and coughed onto her sheet.

(reading..)

(AAA)

Aspnetail: -he added- "I sent out a patrol of pegasi soldiers to scount the land. They are looking for an area where it is between here and Anok, out old home, so if you wish to return to 5th clan, you may. But, be warned if you go with us, there will be imense dangers. So, are you willing to come with us?" -he said, hoping Ori would say yes-

Aspentail: -sees that Hureya needs some help explaining this- x trotts over- "You must be Ori. I am somewhat the leader of Storm herd and me and my herd can't stay here. We were sent to find new lands and we have yet to accomplish that mission. Hureya would like to join us. But, many of my fellow pegasi friends, like Springsong and Cedarpond told me that they wouldn't leave here without their Land-walker friends. We would love to have Hureya with us in Storm herd, but she won't leave you here. So, may I ask if you will come with us?"

( HERE )

Ori: x walks over to Hureya's stall and is shocked when she finds it empty x

Hureya: x comes up beside her and nuzzles her x

Ori: x giggles x hey girl x strokes her muzzle x

Hureya: x doesn't know how to ask Ori, and glances over her shoulder, looking at the others, asking for help x

Glen reached up and grabbed Charolette's hand in his, but he heard Mayia's vice behind him. He turned around and saw Khallo, trotting out of the woods. He released Charolette's hand. "KHALLO!!!!!!!" he said happily and sprinted toward his stallion.

~~

Khallo: -he heard his name called by a familiar voice, then saw Glen racing towards him- "GLEN!!!!!!!" he whinnied happily and charged forward to meet his human. Glen grabbed onto Khallo around his neck and squeezed him tight, pressing his face against the stallion's warm neck. Khallo wrapped his neck around Glen's body and breathed in his scent. After several minetes, Glen pulled away and he saw Mayia pass out on Cedarpond. He walked over to his friend and kneeled down next to her. "Mayia? Mayia? Hello? Can you here me?" he said.

~~~

Khallo: -saw Myia on the ground and started to get anxious. He trotted over and dipped his head to her. He sniffed her face and started licking her, hoping it would help.

(I'm HERE!!!! PLS NO BE GONE!!!!!! I HERE!!!)

Maiya knew nothing of what they were saying, only Cedarpond's words, but she seemed to also only understand Khallo too.

Maiya had run back to the stables and saw GLen frantic. "No! They're fine! They're in the jungle having a night away with their herd. They're right behind me," She said looking back and seeing Khallo, Cedarpond, Aspentail, and Springsong following. She realized she hadn't slept all night and coughed hard . She couldn't breath that well and coughed even more. She put her sleeve to her mouth and coughed into it and her head began to feel light headed. She leaned against somethign btu she didn't know what it was and passed out. The object, had been a free Cedarpond.

( can we do a new part O_O )

Charlotte: -she halted quickly with a loud skid- What!? -she immidiatly got back on Zanareth- Maybe they're in the jungle, that's where Rahkii found the herd before. -she said this quickly and frantically.- Hop on, maybe we can find them. -she held out her hand, her brain buzzing with thoughts. Had Springsong freed them? Had they gotten out on there own? Had someone let them out?-

Glen was the first one to wake up as he awoke at dawn, and he jumped down from the hay loft, sleeping fairly well, with only one nightmare instead of 3. The first thing he noticed was that Khallo's stall was empty! He frantically looked around the stables, only to find Aspentail not in the pasture or in his stall, Hureya's stall door open, and also to find Cedarpond's door open. He was starting to panic. He pushed the stable door open and ran outside and almost ran into Zanareth. He immidiatly reconized the black horse. "Charolette!!! Khallo is gone!!!! So is Aspentail, Cedarpond, and Hureya! I can't find them." his grayish-green eyes were huge with fright. His muscles were twitching and he was dripping in sweat.

Charlotte: -continues stroking Zanareth's muzzle and notices the sun is up, she stretched. She hadn't slept all night. Charlotte hopped on Zanareth bareback and galloped out the loft silently, entering the stable quietly. She hopped of Zanareth without a word, getting straight to work-

(oki)

(morning?)

(ahhhhhhhhhhhhh 4 days nd thishappened? lol)

Khallo: -he smiled, happy that he and his brother came to an agreement. He turned back to Mayia and smiled at her. Even though it was pitch black, he could still see her face and hair. His wings shined brightly, creating somesort of light-source along with everyone else in the herd's wings shined. He nuzzled her face and exhaled warm breath into her face. "You should get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll come to the stables in the morning." he said, tiredly

Springsong: Okay. -she landed finally and sat down, taking a deep breath.- I didn't leave you yet.

Charlotte: -she stroked Zanareth's muzzle, luckily the midnight black arabian never got tired of CHarlotte's presence, so she did this the rest of the night-

Aspentail: thought for a second. "Okay. In the morning I will send a battilion of 10 or more steeds to scout the area. They will look for a space between the 5th clan stables and Anok. They will look for a place that is hospitable for us to live in. Whoever I choose, make sure that their are no giants or dragon's in the area. If you see one of those things, Do Not Engage. Come straight back to the herd and tell us. Also, make sure that it isn't to close to Anok and it isn't to far away from the stables. One last thing, if you stay out for more than 5 days, without comunication of your whereabouts, I will send another battionion out after you, so be breif. Until the battilion find's a hospitable place to live, we will stay here." -he said, hoping that the herd will agree-

(Thanks Echo!!!!!!!)

Springsong: Exactly! Maybe somehow we can be with both our herd and our two-legged friends.

(Theres a lot of melds, so thats why it seems that way, but no they cant talk to eachother ;c That would be awesome though! O:)

X MEANWHILE X

Ori: x can't get to sleep, so decides to sneak down to the barn and say hey to Hureya x

( QUICK QUESTION: Can Riders and pegasi talk to each other now? As in, they both understand each other's language? )

( EEP I WAS ASLEEP AND RIVER WOW XD THAT WAS AWESOME )

Hureya: Maybe there's an island in-between the two places where you guys can live? Or when we want to meet up, that's where we go? x her herself is curious abiut the new land called Anok, and is convinced that the legends of her descending from the Lake Herd pegasi is true x

Springsong: -finally says something- Maybe.. we can go back and forth and the herd can stay here?

(reading)

(WOW!!! sry, that was really long!)

(EEP!)

Aspentail: -her words woke him up and he shot Cedarpond a look- "If we stay here, we will never continue the mission we were assinged in the first place" -he raised his voice so the whole herd could hear him- "Have we forgotten why we left Anok?! Have we forgotten that Star could be dead?! Have we forgotten who we left behind in Anok? Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and friends? And we will not let those pegasi down. If we stay here, all of Anok will be in danger."

Khallo: -he lifted his head and turned to face his brother- "But, Aspentail. I'm not leaving without my friends!" he said, not caring if tears were streaming down his face. He sucked in a quivering breath, then swiveled his head to look back at Mayia, but he raised his voice so everyone could hear, not taking his eyes off her. "If I stay here, so be it. I'm not leaving my friends.

Aspentail: -stared at his brother like he was a puma- "Do you know what your doing?! You're choosing Landwalkers over your own herd. Your choosing Glen over me." Aspentail huffed.

Khallo: -felt his ears droop- "I know that! I know that if I stay here...I choose them over you." -Khallo closed his eyes to think, then opened them a few minetes later- "I'm sorry, Aspentail. But, I'm staying here." -Khallo said, backing up toward Mayia. Once he was close enough, he unfolded his wing and draped it over Mayia's shoulder- "Whether you like it, or not." he said, raising his head and puffing out his chest, not regreting his decision.

( gtg )

Maiya stroked Khallo's hair and put her forehead to his. "I'm sorry Khallo. I can't leave my friends and family behind," She whispered. Cedarpond gazed at her and bit her lip until it bled. "I'm not going with you," She announced and the herd slowly murmured frantically. Cedarpond looked at Maiya. "Eaither we stay here, or go alone without our human friends," She said, tears rising. She stood tall and proud with her head high. Her mane whipped in the breeze and her tail flicked at every fly.

(Morning?)

Aspentail: -nodded to Hureya, half asleep-

Hureya: I'm sure. Thank you. Should I get Ori in the morning?

Khallo: -whipped his head toward Mayia and tears sprang into his eyes, but he held them back- x cantered toward her x "No!! Mayia! Please come with us!!! Please?" -he said, pushing his head into her hands-

Springsong: -nods again, not saying much since she escaped-

Cedarpond was still looking at Maiya. "Uhh.... I think one is already here..." She said. Maiya peeked out fully from them and stepped forward. 'You guys want to take us away from our home?!" She said. Cedarpond twisted her ears sensing the tension. She looked at Maiya who looked terrified. 'You can't do that! I won't leave this place. It my home. I'm sure the others would say the exact same thing. No matter how loyal I am to you, I can't go with you. I have responsability's. This place may not be your home, but it is our home, and we will not leave. Or at least I won't," She said. Cedarpond bit her lip at the Landwalkers words and sighed.

Springsong: -nods, looking at the same stars Charlotte looked at, not sleeping as well.-

Aspentail: -looked up at Hureya- "Are you sure you want to join our herd? It can be very dangerous at times, and we often must face matters much more dangerous than anything you've known here, but if your certain you want in, we will welcome you with open wings." he said, also thinking about what his friends have said. These Landwalkers who he grew up to listening stories of how bad they were and how bad they treated their pegasi, was all wrong. "The lengends were wrong." he realized to himself. Some Landwalkers didn't beat their pegasi like Aspentail thought they did. Landwalkers like Mayia, Charolette, Ori and Glen were kind and would never beat them. Then he raised his head, coming to an agreement with himself. "Listen up! If you have a Land walker friend who you don't want to leave here, I announce that you may bring your friend with you as we migrate. Either that or you don't come with us and you are left to the mercy of the Queen." he said, folding his wings, watching the herd mumble to themselves and once all the pegasi were quiet they looked up at Aspentail and nodded, showing him that either they didn't have a Landwalker friend but they were ready to go either way, or that they do have a Lnadwalker friend and they want to bring he/she with them. "Sleep now. Tomorrow you may retreive your friend in the morning." he said, his eyes geting droopy

Khallo: -nodded- "I would be Half without Glen or Mayia."

Hureya: I want to come with you guys, but I also need to bring Ori. She saved me from getting sold to abusive owners who care nought for us Kihlari but for the money they make in whipping us for show. She would be Half without me.

Hureya: Hey! Don't forget me! x she winnied to Aspentail as she unlatched her stall and ran out of the barn, taking flight and hovering above, searching for Palebreeze to help them find him x

( NOOOOO I MISSED SO MUCH )

Springsong: -nods slowly-

Aspentail: -he sighed, but nodded ant turned to Khallo- "You agree with Springsong?"

Khallo: -nodded- "Yes. I do. Plus, as an added bonus, if any of us get hurt, they know how to use medicine more than we do to care for our wounds. I twisted my ankle once while Glen was riding me. He brought me back to the barn and tended for my wounds and in several hours I was able to run, jump and gallop like normal and it didn't even hurt."

Springsong: So I have to agree with Khallo. -she didn't feel ashamed or guilty. She arched her neck with determination, her haunting dark blue eyes filled with sadness for a different matter-

Springsong: Sorry, Aspentail, but you haven't stayed in a wooden shed with others tame horses as long as us. I think we can all say not all landwalkers are out to harm us or capture us. Charlotte saved me from an abusive landwalker. So yes, some landwalkers are ruthless beasts, but not all! And I know for a fact our friends we met there would never destroy our plan. They actually helped us with our plan.-thinks of Charlotte-

Aspentail: Sparkwood wishes to go back to the stables, I have no idea what for, but he could ask Palebreeze then, after we recieve his answer we will leave with Palebreeze or without him." Khallo: -looks at Springsong and Cedarpond. Each had some sort of sadnees in their eyes- "Aspentail, could we bring Glen, Mayia, and Charolette along with us?" he asked Aspentail: "Are you crazy? They'll ruin the whole mission!" Khallo: "Well, I can't leave Glen...he saved me, Aspentail....if he didn't buy me from the Auction, I would'hv gone back to my abusive owner." Aspentail: -looked at Cedarpond and Springsong- "Do you all wish to bring your people with you?"

(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo -turns purple, dies- Bye D:

(AWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! NOOO!!!!!!!!!! Ok.......bai..... :'C

Aspentail: Sparkwood wishes to go back to the stables, I have no idea what for, but he could ask Palebreeze then, after we recieve his answer we will leave with Palebreeze or without him."

Khallo: -looks at Springsong and Cedarpond. Each had some sort of sadnees in their eyes- "Aspentail, could we bring Glen, Mayia, and Charolette along with us?" he asked

Aspentail: "Are you crazy? They'll ruin the whole mission!"

Khallo: "Well, I can't leave Glen...he saved me, Aspentail....if he didn't buy me from the Auction, I would'hv gone back to my abusive owner."

Aspentail: -looked at Cedarpond and Springsong- "Do you all wish to bring your people with you?"

( gtg )

Springsong: Dunno... Palebreeze is still out there, but we don't know if he wants to come with us.

Charlotte: -Charlotte got up from another of her dreams, sweating. She let out a sigh, looking at the small on the roof where the stars shone bright, her eyes twinkling. She ran her fingers through her hair and hopped down the loft to check on Zanareth-

Zanareth: -whinnies a greeting-

Charlotte: -smiles, scratching her behind the ars-

Cedarpond nodded and then looked behind her at Maiya. "Uh so we are gonna leave this place and find another uninhabitated but Khilari?" She asked.
