(Hello?)

Lightblaze: She sat in the bushes, listening intently, after telling the story to Everhope. She wondered what she could do to help. The captain seemed stressed and Sharkstrike was obviously lying.

Daisyfire-

She gritted her teeth, these two were making things very difficult. "Sharkstrike, I've already overheard what the witness had to say." Daisyfire said, pointily, "Your side of the story isn't lining up with what they had to say."

Starsong:

"He is lieying! I dont want to fight! But I will if he wont go away!" She said

(Starsong's leg is broken her wing is fine. Iceshard's wing is broken)

Sharkstrike: "I Didnt! She did it to frame me!" Sharkstrike yelped!

Daisyfire-

"Oh stop." she said to Sharkstrike, thinking. "So let me get this straight, Starsong attacked you, so you fought her. But that still doesn't explain why you seem to think it was okay to injure her the way you did." Daisyfire indicated the are on Starsong's wing that clearly appeared to be broken.

Sharkstrik:e

"She grabbed me and made me fight her! It is not my fault!" He sobbed

Daisyfire-

"Hey, hey." said Daisyfire, trying to keep thing civil, "I don't want anyone playing the blame game here. Sharkstrike, can you tell us," she glanced at Silverfire who was keeping quiet and seemed to be maintaining his cool, "What really happened?"

*Walks away sulkily and finds @EverHope*

Lightblaze: You'll never guess what's happening!

Sharkstrike:

"I did not! She attacked me and if I did anything then it was because she plays ruff!" He cried out

Daisyfire-

The captain flipped her tail as if swatting at a fly, "Lightblaze please stay out of this." then she returned her attention to Starsong, "I see. Sharkstrike, what if your side?"

Lightblaze: I want to learn too!

Starsong:

"Sharkstrike Attacked me! He does it every week! I always have a broken or sprained something! I want to learn to fight!!!" She said getting louder

Dasiyfire-

"Thank you Lightblaze." said Daisyfire, before turned her attention back to the task at hoof (see what I did there XD) "I would like to ensure that this situation is dealt with fairly, so I'm giving you both a chance to explain yourselves. Starsong, without getting to emotional, would you please recount your side of the issue."

Starsong:

She was mad and wanted to sulk but she trotted beck to Daisyfire. "YES! What do you want?!" She snapped.

*Frowns and goes back to Daisyfire*

Lightblaze: Daisyfire, she said "I don't have to go to her, I am not her slave and she is not my master."

Starsong:

"So! I dont have to go to her! I am not her slave and she is not my master!" Starsong shouted and ingored what Daisyfire wanted

(Can Everhope's parents die and she gets adopted by the overstallion and lead mare?)

*Wanders around looking for Starsong until she finds her*

Lightblaze: Starsong, Daisyfire asked for you.

Lightblaze: Yes, ma'am, I'll go find her.

*Shoots Sharkstrike a glare before leaving*

Daisyfire-

Daisyfire let out a sigh, glancing at the other pegasi, "I would like it if you all would please exit the area, and send Starsong here." she then stopped, and waited until her orders were carried out.

Sharkstrike:

He looked down. "I I did not! Y you dont have to b blame me for e everything!" He let out a fake sob

Everhope:

"Whats going on?"

(Plus i can talk again.)

Lightblaze: How do we know you're telling the truth? You have a history of being suspicious and aggressive.

Daisyfire-

"Thank you." said Daisyfire, half heartedly. She dipped her head, then trotted off to find the young stallion accused of attaching Starsong. The grullo captain reached him just in time to overhear his claim that the mare had attacked him first, "Does it really matter who attacked who first?" Daisyfire questioned, "You just injured one of your herd mates bad enough that she might not be able to fly, that is inexcusable."

Sharkstrike:

"I did Not!" He cried out. "She attacked Me!"

Mistfire

"Apparently he attacked Starsong, and then a short while later IceShard came to talk to him but he ended up attacking her also, I don't know the full story, but that's about it," Mistfire answered

Lightblaze: Oh, him. What did he do this time?

Mistfire,

Mistfire trotted over to Lightblaze, "there's something going on with that young stallion over there" Mistfire answerd, pointing a wing towards Sharkstrike

Lightblaze: Can any pegasus tell me what's going on? Hello?

Stormwing:

"Go ahead talk to him!"

Sharkstrike:

He looked at the army. "Talk about what?" He asked insistently

Silverfire:

This conversation was making him more and more confused. Daisyfire was on his flipping side for once? Stormwing was being intolerable and he didn’t understand why. Everyone seemed to be attacking each other. Silverfire had to agree with all of Daisyfire’s points. “I agree. We should talk to that colt and scare him off from doing these sort of things.“

Daisyfire-

"I wouldn't have her do anything." Daisyfire replied, "This is an issue that is unexpectable, but I believe that it needs to be fixed at the top level not the bottom. Sir, you just had a steed purposely go out of his way to injure another, and yet we're here squabbling about what the victim should do. Instead why not do something about the offender?"

Stormwing:

"How would you like her to retaliate?!" He snarled

Dasiyfire-

Dasiyfire looked at her over-stallion incredulously, "Fine, but this isn't solving the problem in the slightest. Training her to fight will only make it so those bullies have to step up their game. Like I said before, fighting fire with fire isn't the best way to solve this problem."

(How should I join?)

Stormwing:

"It is your jobs now! No arguing!"

Dasiyfire-

Dasiyfire huffed, noting that Stormwing was seeming to completely ignore the more important issue of whole situation that had led to this conversation -- a pegasus being attacked by another pegasus. What irritated her most of all, was the fact that the over-stallion had only a moment before been attempting to discipline a stallion for injuring one of his herd mates, which was more or less the exact thing Stormwing had done now against Silverfire.

"I have to agree with Silverfire on this matter, " said Daisyfire, keeping her cool, "A captain's job isn't to deliver direct training, our jobs are to over see it. We don't simply think it's a waste of our time, it is. I believe the issue here isn't the lack of training this mare has received -- that was by her own choice I may add, it's the fact the steeds who do this sort of thing are not facing the consequence for their actions. Tell me this, if we train this mare how to defend herself from bullies, do you think that's going to make pegasi leave her alone? I don't think it will, it anything it will only make things worse for her in the long run."

Stormwing:

"YOU WILL TRAIN HER BECAUSE YOU CAN TEACH HER MORE TOGETHER! I dont care if You think it wasts time do it anyway! She is not helpless as you have seen she is big and strong but hates fighting!" He was mad and he nipped Silverfire

Silverfire:

“Wha-“ The silver stallion looked at Daisyfire. “This is a complete waist of both of our times! You should just be able to ask one of your battle mares to train the helpless filly!” Silverfire tosses back his mane angrily.

Stormwing:

"You both will join and train the Mare Starsong!" He said sharply. "Plan together and be ready, you start at sun up tomorrow!" Then he walked away

Silverfire: The large stallion lifted his head and obeyed Stormwing. He picked up his hooves forcefully and trotted over to him. “You called us?” Silverfire’s voice was unthreatening but curious.

Stormwing:

He had watched the fight with a smile on his face. "Daisyfire! Silverfire! Come here please!" He said loudly .

Daisyfire-

She pinned her ears at the sudden out burst from the young mare. This was yet another sign that the steeds of Wind Herd needed some help, and this situation somewhat annoyed Daisyfire. The way the herd was set up, stallions trained stallions, and mares trained mares. That's the way it had always been. Every steed in the herd -- with the exception of the medicine mare -- was expected to serve at least part of their life as part of the Wind Herd army, and while the stallions were required to stay in until they became to old to fly -- normally around their 50s or 60s, mares were allowed to take leaves of absence lasting a year or two so they could care for their foals. This was partly the reason why the stallion corps and the battle mare corps used different training techniques and played different roles in the herd.

That was, until recently it seemed, when many young fillies and colts didn't seems to be wanting the commitment of joining the Wind Herd army. And when it came time for the 2-year-olds to start their training, most of them bowed out, and refused to participate until something major would happen, preferring to continuing on with acting like foals despite being full grown.

Starsong:

She glared at Dasiyfire and galloped away

Starsong:

Her tail slashed. She was mad and they were making it worse

Silverfire & Thundershine:

”...” They we’re both taken aback by the fillies sudden shouting.

Silverfire:

He turned his attention to his fellow captain and snorted. “I think I can point out things for myself, thank you.” His voice was rough.

Thundershine:

“I agree with you, Starsong. Silverfire should teach you if your going to be taught anything at all.“ ThundeFannie smiled at her father with pride.

Starsong:

"I am done living in fear!" She shouted. "I want to be free from this! I dont want to be scared to move!" She reared and let out a shout. "I WANT TO BE FREE!"

Daisyfire-

The battle mare captain let out a short snort at the young mare's enthusiasm to learn how to fight. "Rather you and can fight or not might no be the issue here." she pointed out, glancing at the offending stallion, "It's not always best to fight fire with fire especially when one fire is already much large."

Starsong:

She walked up to silverfire, "Please I want you to teach me. I am big and I can fight well. I need help!" She was shy but firm

Sageblossom:

”Shh, Icesgard. This is not time to be arguing.“ Sageblossom focused on crushing up her herbs to treat the young filly.

Silverfire:

He looked down at the filly and lowered his large head to let her see eye to eye with her. “Young one,” He smiled. “I would love to pass on my knowledge of fighting to you, but.“ He looked at Thundershine, not moving anything but his eyes. “I think you’ll learn much more from my daughter.” Silverfire looked up to his full high and motioned to Thundershine with his silver wing.

Thundershine:

😐😑😩 ”Dad! That’s not fair!” She nickered loudly, motioning to Starsong herself.

IceShard

IceShard groans and stands up. “Your a bully and a coward. Your just jealous of StarSong cause she’s nice and smart. You know your stronger than her and it makes you feel manly to beat pegasi up, right? Well, your wrong. You need to grow up and learn that beating everyone up will make them hate you.”

Starsong:

"Silverfire can you teach me to fight please! I I keep getting bullied and I want help to fight them!"

Daisyfire-

Daisyfire was waiting expectantly for Silverfire to reply, but before the stallion could, she heard Stromwing calling an order to her. She flicked her ears in slight annoyance at the interrupted conversation, but didn't hesitate for more then a moment before kicking off and gliding to the young stallion that seemed to be the one causing the disturbance. Daisyfire didn't say a word to the stallion after she landed, and merely watched to see what he would do next.

Sageblossom:

The magenta feathered mare cantered over to all the commotion. “Up, Iceshard” She soothed as she slid the filly on her back. Sageblossom gave a stern look towards Sharkstrike. The medicine mare recognized the wing strain and a bruising stride immediately. She laid down the filly and grasped some Elder Leaves for the sprain and Aloe for the bruisin.

Silverfire:

The large stallion had flown down with Daisyfire after she was called by Stormwing. He ignored her earlier angered tone and focused on the object at hoof. “..and I am going to ask Silverfire to teach me to fight!” Silverfire looked down at the oddly marked filly.

Thundershine:

Her ears stood on end. What in Anok is everyone doing? Thundershine lifted off, her moon-silver feathers bouncing the sunlight off each other. She searched the ground for the source of the many voices and settled apon a large group of pegasi. Thundershine counted who was there;

Stormwing, Snowcloud, two foals, Sageblossom running off with a filly on her back, and...her sire. The grey mare swooped down to the ground and landed next to Silverfire. “What’s going on?“ She asked to no steed in particular.

Sharkstrike:

"She rammed me!" He shouted angrily. He was scared of the overstallion.

Stormwing:

He came on Sharkstrike from behind and tossed him to the ground. "Daisyfire! Guard him please!" Then he zipped to Snowcloud's side.

Starsong:

"Sageblossom! Iceshard needs you and I am going to ask Silverfire to teach me to fight!"

Snowclould

Snowcloud pinned her ears to the sound of a thud, she scanned the forest, and saw what was happening,

Snowcloud angled her wings and took off flying in the direction of Sharkstrike.

When she got there she saw the young Iceshard on the ground wincing in pain.

She looked up and saw the mean young colt smiling in victory, Snowcloud flew up and gave the colt a sharp nip on the ear,

"You know better! It's not right to harm other pegasi!" Stormcloud brayed, she flew down to Iceshard.

"Hey you okay?" Snowcloud asked stretching out one of her wings to help her up.

(I'll comment when I get into the car in a few minutes)

Sharkstrike:

He braced for the strike and then grabbed one of her wings. He moved in a quike down ward motion and snapped her wing bowns. And then he slamed a kick onto her back and slammed her into the ground

IceShard

IceShard nods suspiciously. “Hey SharkStrike! Let’s hang out!” IceShard lowers her head and charges, ramming SharkStrike in the side.

(Gonna call the colt Sharkstrike ok?)

Sharkstrike:

He laughed at the sight Starsong made rushing to the medicine mare on 3 legs. "Bye bye! Cant wait to hang out with you again!" He mocked.

Starsong:

"Yes Iceshard I'm fine I just hurt my leg...." She fibbed

IceShard

”Hey! Are you okay, StarSong?”

Daisyfire-

The captain twitched her ears as Silverfire landed next to her, slightly surprised by the stallion's perceptiveness. "I wasn't eves dropping you know." spat back Daisyfire, "There was no way I could possibly heave heard your conversation from this distance. Anyways, one thing I did over hear was one young stallion just get into a scuffle with that mare you were just with. The steeds are getting restless and we need to do something about sooner rather then later."

Starsong:

She spoke one last time to Sageblossom. "Can I ask Silverfire to teach me to fight? I wont if you dont think I should...." She wanted to stop hurting

Sageblossom:

The young mare was amused. She gently spread the Burdock root, Elder leaf, and Aloe mixture over Starsong’s leg. “Fell down, hm?” Sageblossom nickered in her naturally gentle voice. She had finished spreading the mixture and whipped her soft feathers clean. “I am the medicine mare, sweetie. It’s my job to help you.“ Sageblossom turned around, her long flaxen mane and tail swinging from side to side. ”Don’t go faster then a walk for the next day or so. After that your fine to go about your daily life.” The chestnut mare paused and turned around to look at Starsong closely. “And show those other foal’s who’s boss.” Sageblossom winked at the filly and nuzzled her. “Off you go now. Cheer up.”

Starsong:

"I I fell down Sageblossom...." She muttered and looked down her face flaming. She did Not want anyone to know she kept losing fights with colts smaller than her. Tears pricked her eyes. "Sorry Sageblossom, can you teach me so i can make it and you dont have to deal with me anymore?" She hated causing trouble for anyone

Sageblossom:

The young medicine s mare had finished the mixture. She lifted her head as the odd marked filly approached. “By ancestors, my dear.” Sageblossom still focused on her mixture and lifted it onto her wing. “This is the third time this week you have come to my grove. What has been happening?” Her voice was concerned but soft.

Mistfire,

Mistfire twisted and dodged trees as she flew in the forest practicing. When she grew tired she stopped by a lake to drink some water, then she trotted off to head back to the herd

Silverfire:

The silver stallion snorted and dipped his head. “I’ll deliver this to my warriors.”

Silverfire pushed off the ground forcefully and caught a nice breeze with his tough feathers. He noticed Daisyfire looking down at him from her higher altitude. The silver stallion pushed himself closer to the mare. “Yes?” He spat wondering what her purpose was, observing his conversation with Stormwing.

Stormwing:

He jerked his head up when he heard Silverfire's voice. "Yes I think we should give them some room here if they attack us we can drive them out but no need to get visous now!" He said in his calm in charge way

Daisyfire-

Daisyfire looked out into the meadow that the spread out below her, watching a group of foals playing a game of chase. This had been her 16 years ago, things had been much simpler then. Now the only thing that occupied the mare's time was training with her platoon for some long fantasized battle that would never come. It wasn't like anything ever happened here anyways, and when it did, it was usually taken care of pretty quickly and without any actual fighting.

Suddenly, Daisyfire's attention was drawn to a young mare bolting towards medicine mare's grove, leaving a stallion in her wake. The captain gritted her teeth at this, things like this had slowly become more common with the lack of missions so keep the steeds busy. Daisyfire made a note to talk about this Silverfire.

Silverfire:

The large stallion noticed both Stormwing and Snowcloud near the medicine mare. He swooped down hard from an air passage he was in and landed hard on the ground with his large hooves. The silver stallion trotted over to both of them and gave a faint nod that you might call a bow. “Stormwing,” He began, drawling the over-stallions attention. “There are two horse herds near our western boarders who are seeking new grazing area. Our sky herders have lead them away from us many times but they always seem to make their way back over to our grazing lands. My warriors are concerned about our foals safety if they manage to make it any closer to our interior.”

Snowcloud,

Snowclould nodded at her mate, and looked at Starsong, "a colt was bullying her, and she hurt her hoof" Snowcloud said.

Starsong:

She winced and wished she was smaller.

Stormwing:

He flew over to where his mate was and nuzzled her. "Are you ok darling?" He nodded to Starsong

Snowcloud

"I'll fly ahead and tell the medicine mare" Snowcloud said kindly. She angled her wings to make herself smaller and dashed to the medicine mare.

Snowcloud landed and walked over to the mare that was sorting herbs.(we need a medicine mare so for now the name will be Leafroot, idk if that's someone's Oc already, soooooo yea... ) Leafroot dipped her head towards the Lead mare that was walking her way.

"What can I do for you Snowclould? " she asked.

"Starsong hurt her hoof, I flew ahead to tell you." Snowclould told her,

"Ah, okay," Leafroot said as she started working on a mixture to put on Starsong's hoof.

Starsong:

She bowed her head. "I just have a hurt hoof." She looked down in shame, She was a big foal and she should have fought the colt off, but she did not like to fight and she would rather peace. She had let this go on and now the leadmare had noticed.

Snowcloud

Snowcloud pinned her ears when she heard the sound of a when foal whined, she imeaditly took to the air scanning the sky, there, she saw Starsong being bullied, but before she was able to get there, she saw the colt fly off and saw Starsong gliding towards the medicine mare.

Snowclould dived towards her and slowed to a glide to keep up with Starsong, "are you okay?" She asked, avoiding the occasional tree and brush.

(just a random foal is bulling Starsong, K?)

Starsong:

She bit her lip as a cruel 2 year old grabbed her tail and dragged her from the sky. She hit the ground with a loud crack. She gave a short yelp and tried to stand. One of her hooves was hurt and she expected it. She Tilted back her head and gave a sharp whinnie. "Overstallion! Please help I am being attacked!" She shouted knowing he would stop the colt. The colt retreated and she stood up. Her hoof would take no weight so she glided to the medicine mare. She was always harassed because of how she looked.

Thundershine:

Thundershine stomped the rock with her front hooves in anger. Why couldn't she find a good rock to sharpen her hooves with? She snorted at herself and flipped back her long flaxen mane. She needed to find some place else to do this. The grey mare fanned out her silver wings and lifted off with grace. She caught a swift wind current and it carried her far enough to find another pile of rocks. Thundershine glided off the current and flapped down to the ground. She looked around at the somewhat suitable rocks and large pebbles near the stream. The mare folded her wings back in and found what seemed to be the perfect hoof sharpening rock! She claimed the rock and moved it closer to her, took a nice clean sharp with her front hoof, and it immediately made a good shirk. Soon all her hooves shined at the end with a claw like point. “Perfect.” Thundershine admired her work.
