Seastorm: "Oh yeah? Are you SURE?" He nickered and arched his wings, and flapped them slightly, stretching out his neck. He raced past Pebblespark, and flicked his tail. It brushed against her cheek.

Topazcloud:

She frowned and shook her head. “There is a difference between discipline and abuse. I rule my herd with discipline and I raised my own daughter that way, but what your doing is wrong. I will not allow it to continue. I spoke to the medicine mare and she said Graveldrift has a concussion, a sprained wing, and several bruised muscles along his body, not to mention the trauma he has gone through.” She said harshly, pinning her ears. “Tell me, what exactly has this colt done to earn such horrid treatment from his own father?”

(Oh is this her's? I didn't know I will ask her thanks!)

(What is this rp?)

(Oh! Sorry I didn’t see it)

Topazcloud:

She glared at Argentstone, her sharp eyes narrowing. “You have a son, don’t you? I would like to ask you some questions about your relationship with him.”

Without allowing Argentstone to react, she continued. “I was just speaking with him and he told me that you were treating him poorly. Is it true that you abuse him?” She asked intensely, her wings flared.

Silverwing:

He looked her in the eye. "Then tell the truth. I'm sure he'll forgive you if you be honest."

Silverwing:

"Just tell him 'Oh, by the way, Lenitystone is my real name, but Dapplestone is my nickname' and it'll be fine."

Lenitystone:

She sighed. "I guess. But... what should I tell Forestheart? He'd be hurt if I- he found out I lied to him," she said softly.

Argentstone, Waterhole:

He curled his neck around slowly, his dark eyes hard as stones. "About what, madam?" He asked, pricking his ears.

Silverwing:

He smiled at Lenitystone. "You don't have to go by Lenitystone. Dapplestone can be... sort of like a nickname."

Topazcloud:

She spotted the stallion grazing alone and she swiftly landed next to him with a heavy thud. Her eyes ablaze with anger, but she tried unsuccessfully to hide it. She approached him and snorted in greeting. “Argentstone, we need to have a talk.” Her voice pierced sharply and her wingtips flared.

Pebblespark:

She nickered happily and galloped forward, her long legs carrying her across the valley. She glanced over at Seastorm. “Give it up, Seastorm! You’ll never beat me!” She said breathily as they raced.

Flamecloud:

"Your parents are proud of you for who you are. Remember that." Flamecloud smiled at Silverwing, and at Lenitystone.

Silverwing:

He tilted his head. "You may not be very gentle, but I think you are certainly kind."

Lenitystone:

She jerked up her head and rattled her feathers. "No it doesn't!" She snapped, unable to keep her tempter under control. "I'm not gentle and I am not kind! My parents were wrong! Their hopes were false!" She stamped her hoof, seething.

Argentstone, Waterhole:

He curled his neck around slowly, his dark eyes hard as stones. "About what, madam?" He asked, pricking his ears.

Silverwing:

He smiled at Lenitystone. "I disagree. I think your name fits you well."

Streamblaze:

She groaned. (Ironcore should prob get the medicine mare.)

Strikeflower: She watched Birchroot work and smiled.

Birchroot(Stormsun’s OC):

The mare stepped up to Graveldrift and the foreign filly. “Alrighty, Graveldrift. Let’s have a look at that head-you might have a concussion.” She said gently as she worked on rubbing a mixture of pine sap and lavender leaves into his cuts to ease the bleeding and numb the wound.

(HERE SORRY!!) Topazcloud:

She spotted the stallion grazing alone and she swiftly landed next to him with a heavy thud. Her eyes ablaze with anger, but she tried unsuccessfully to hide it. She approached him and snorted in greeting. “Argentstone, we need to have a talk.” Her voice pierced sharply and her wingtips flared.

(where everybodyy)

Graveldrift:

He suddenly leaned against Strikeflower, heaving a giant sigh. The sun was hot and scorching, his dark blue feathers feeling as though they were being roasted right there.

Strikeflower: She lowered her muzzled and watched Topazcloud leave. She curled her neck and lifted her wing slightly, staring at the jagged pink scar right under her wing, on the side her of her belly. She remembered her mother had screamed at her, telling her it was all her fault that her sire died. Then she had beaten her and fled. Little Strikeflower had only been a 3 month old filly when it happened. Strikeflower gulped.

(RB do you wanna play as Birchroot?)

Strikeflower: She nodded and smiled softly at Graveldrift.

Topazcloud:

“Strikeflower, stay with Graveldrift. Make sure he gets the care he needs from the medicine mare, alright? I will deal with his father alone. Like I said before, you may stay the night, but by dawn, you will return to Mooncycle.” She told the filly, then lifted off and flew back towards the rest of the herd, anger surging through her as she keen eyes scanned for Argentstone.

Strikeflower: She smiled at Graveldrift and nudged him towards Topazcloud. She thought of her mother and about her wondering were she is, and she shuttered.

Nightbreeze:

She trotted back to the cave, "Strikeflower?" She looked inside and frowned. She panicked when she couldn't find her. "Strikeflower?!" she neighed. (This reminds me of Mother Gothel and Rapunzel)

Topazcloud:

She quickly kneeled down to face the colt, her eyes concerned but protective. She raised Graveldrift’s head with one wing, and spoke strictly without stuttering, ”There is nothing you need to apologize for. I am not angry or disappointed in you. This is not your fault, all right? Now, you go with your friend and let the medicine mare help you. Don’t worry about your sire-I will make sure this never happens again.” She promised, then stood up and opened her wings.

Graveldrift: "I'm sorry," he rasped, holding his head and keeping it to the ground. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Topazcloud:

As a mother, seeing Graveldrift act this way made not only her protective lead-mare instincts flare, but her motherly heart melt. She folded her wings and lowered her head to stare into his eyes.

“Graveldrift, it’s okay. I’m not angry at you. I’m just trying to understand how such a thing as to this managed to not come to my attention.“ She mumbled, but then looked at Strikeflower. “You may stay here for the night to rest. Tomorrow, first thing at dawn, you will leave and return to Mooncycle herd.”

She ordered then stepped back and opened her wings, preparing to lift off. “Make sure he gets taken care of by the medicine mare. I will go and talk with his sire.”

Strikeflower: She put his wing on his cheek, "Look at me. You need to calm down, alright? Because if you go crazy I'll go crazy too."

Topazcloud:

“His name is Argentstone? Is it not?” She asked him, continuing to ignore Strikeflower.

Flamecloud: "Yes, darling. But I came to my senses and told Silverwing my real name. And look at us now!" She stepped closer to Silverwing and clutched her belly.

Flamecloud:

She trotted up to Lennitystone, "It's alright, darling. You can tell us. I myself lied about my name when I first met Silverwing," she smiled at her mate, "And said my name was Flamerose, though it was really FlamePOPPY." She snorted and smiled at Lenitystone.

Silverwing (Rainfall):

He glanced at Flamecloud, then back at Lenitystone. "Why did you lie?"

Flamecloud:

She pricked her ears and glanced at Silverwing with wide eyes.

Lenitystone:

She frowned deeply, still staring at the ground. "It is Lenitystone," she muttered with a stamp of her hoof.

Seastorm: "Alrighty!" He bolted.

Pebblespark:

She snorted and rammed him again. “Let’s race on hoof! That way there’s no way we can get lost.”

Seastorm:

He arched his neck and snorted. "Um...well...I don't know! Just...uh..." He bumped her playfully.

Pebblespark:

She arched her tail and smirked. She pinned her wings and rammed Seastorm in the shoulder, “Oh!! Yeah, blame me. I’m the guilty one. How was I supposed to know we’d get lost?” She asked with a sassy toss of her mane.

Seastorm:

He looked at her and smiled shyly, "Oh." He fluttered his wings. "Um." He blushed. "Yeah, I'm sorry too. But I guess it's all your fault because you where the won who wanted to race -at least I think- and that's how we got lost in the first place." He snorted and smirked at her playfully.

Pebblespark:

She listened to his words, but as he continued to speak his mind and lay his heart out, her eyes widened. Pebblespark’s jaws slacked open in shock and her cheeks and ears grew hot in embarrassment.

Her wings tensed as she watched him fly away, trying to comprehend what he had said. “W-Wait! You can’t just fly away after saying something like that,” She nickered to him and followed him into the sky. She flew in front of Seastorm, forcing him to stop. ”I never hated you. Seastorm, you‘re my friend too! I appreciate you wanting to protect me, but I’m not a filly. Well, I am a filly, but I’m not a helpless one. I care for you as well, and I’m sorry we were in that situation in the first place.”

Seastorm:

"I just wanted to say...I'm sorry. I was overprotective, and annoying, and you probably hate me by now. I just...can't help it sometimes. You're my friend. I can't imagine you getting hurt...or worse. That's why I wanted you to go...not because I wanted to get rid of you, but because I don't want you getting hurt. Because I care about you. A lot. So yeah." He glanced at her before spreading his wings and flying away.

Pebblespark:

She silently flew back to Mooncycle, thinking silently to herself. She landed next to Seastorm and folded her wings. Glancing up at the colt, she flicked her ears to him. “What now?”

Seastorm:

He flapped his mighty wings and flew to his herd. He landed at the border and waited for Pebblespark.

Silverwing (Rainfall):

He waited, then arched his neck to look into Dapplestone's eyes. "Answer me," he commanded, putting just the right amount of kindness and firmness into his voice.

Pebblespark:

She kicked off, but unlike Seastorm, she admired the lead mare. She was strict, but not cruel. She demanded respect without being power hungry. Pebblespark flew up besides Seastorm. Perhaps the lead mare and over stallion of Waterhole herd was the reason this herd was so big and strong in the first place.

Seastorm:

He glanced at the leadmare and shook his head, disgusted by her rudeness. He spread his blue wings and lifted off, waiting for Pebblespark.

(Sure)

Pebblespark:

She turned away from the mare with a stiff nod. She glanced at Seastorm and opened her wings, ready for the flight home. “I guess...let’s go.” She snorted gently, sending a glare over her shoulder at Topazcloud.

(Wanna RP with Seaspark?)

(GTG)

Graveldrift:

He kept his eyes on the ground, flicking his tail. He nodded slowly.

(Uh...)

Strikeflower:

She barred her teeth.

Topazcloud:

She frowned and pinned her ears at Strikeflower’s disrespect, but she decided not to say anything against it. “Yes, I noticed. That’s why I need the stallion’s name that did this to him so I can approach him. Argent...Argetstone?”

She asked, then paused and glanced back to Graveldrift, “Whatever his name his, I won’t allow that type of behavior,“ She grumbled, flexing her wingtips as she waited for a confirmation.

Silverwing:

He waited.

Lenitystone:

Her eyes widened. "Uhhh." She swallowed hard, glancing around.

Flamecloud:

She pricked her ears and followed them.

Silverwing (Rainfall):

Silverwing looked her straight in the eye. "Isn't your name Lenitystone?"

Silverwing (Rainfall):

He put one wing around Dapplestone and let her under an overhang in the hill. Then he looked her in the eyes. "Is there something you would like to tell me?" (Oo, getting serious Dumbledore vibes here!)

Flamecloud:

She raised her eyebrow and landed.

Silverwing (Rainfall):

He eyed her. "Hmm, how about now? You don't seem to be doing anything right now." He beckoned Flamecloud out of the sky and smiled at Forestheart. "Do you mind if I talk to Dapplestone for a minute?"

Lenitystone:

She nodded slowly; she knew she had the time. In fact, right then. But she chose not to say anything, having no taste in seeing Silverwing. The over-stallion.

Streamblaze:

She sqeezed her eyes closed and collapsed. "I think I'll just... lay here...." Then she blacked out again.

Silverwing (Rainfall):

He eyed Dapplestone kindly. "Dapplestone, when you have time, please come to see me. You don't have to bring Forestheart if you don't want to...." He nodded at Forestheart, hoping he understood it was private busines... like lying to your over-stallion business.

Streamblaze (Mooncycle):

Her head swam and she slumped against Ironcore. "Ow, that hurts."

(srrryyy got school!)

Strikeflower:

She brushed Graveldrift's forelock off the side of his face. You could see his wound, which was smeared with paste. "You see that, mare?" She glared at Topazcloud, "His sire did that. Well, he made the wound, Birchroot helped him..." The tips of her ears turned pink.

(ARGENTSTORM!)

Strikeflower:

She glared.

Topazcloud:

The mare released the colt and stepped back. “Tell me his name.” Her voice more of a demand than request, glancing over her shoulder at Strikeflower.

(are you going to be Graveldrifts sire, Ashsong?)

Strikeflower:

She lifted her wings and held them high.

Graveldrift:

He gazed at her, his eyes wide. "Y-yes, ma'am," he said softly, looking down again.

Strikeflower: She stepped back.

Topazcloud:

She snorted at Strikeflower and moved around the filly to get to Graveldrift, ignoring the filly’s fierce battle stance. She lowered her head to the colt and folded her wings in an effort to make herself look smaller and less intimidating.

“Graveldrift, it’s a big deal. If your sire is abusing you, I need to know, okay? Just remind me who your father is and I’ll take care of it.” She said gently and moved the colts chin up with her wing to make him look her in the eye.

Strikeflower:

She glanced at Graveldrift and nuzzled him. She stepped forward and arched her neck in front of Topazcloud.

Graveldrift, Waterhole: He hung his head. "I didn't- I didn't want to make a big- a big d-deal out of things," he whispered, training his eyes on the ground.

Strikeflower:

She eyed Topazcloud. She made a mental note to yell at her when this was all over.
