Hello! I know that this chapter took me a while, it is just that I have been busy. Also, I am having a competition that I put in the fan art category. Any comments on my story are helpful. Thank you for reading!

Morningleaf gazed at Riversun. Morningleaf was not sure of what she could do to help the filly.

“I am telling the truth!” Morningleaf insisted. Icefeather rolled his eyes.

Pebblewind spoke up. “I say we kill Riversun anyway. It is not like she has done anything to help us!” Riversun glared at Pebblewind.

“Please leave that filly out of this!” Morningleaf pleaded. “I am the one you should be mad at, not her!”

“I say we give this filly a chance,” Icefeather said gruffly, “she and Pebblewind will fight to the death!” Riversun seemed undisturbed by this announcement but Pebblewind looked sick.
