(I'm going to make part 16)

Breezebell glared at Mistcloud and didn't move from beside her sister. Redmoon nudged her and Breezebell shook her head. Redmoon nudged her harder and Breezebell looked at her for a long time. She let out her breath and crawled back over to her team and glared at her sister for a long time. Redmoon's heart broke at pushing her sister away and she looked at the ground to the side.

Silverflame:

"Come on, Breezebell. Please?" he pleaded

Mistcloud:

Mistcloud glanced at Whiteshadow, who shook her head. "I'm sorry Breezebell," said Mistcloud, "Redmoon will have to sit out this last round, but she will still have a chance to join the Army early."

Mistcloud:

Mistcloud landed in the clearing, just in time to hear Breezebell's outburst, "Breezebell." said council mare after the filly had finished, "Redmoon isn't eliminated from this contest. The reason we were pulled the yearlings out of the course was not to disqualify them, but to make sure none of you hurt yourselves to badly. I admire your loyalty to your sister, Breezebell, but you need to participate in this evaluation."

Silverflame:

It took him a few minuets to realize that Breezebell was wanting to not participate. "But, Breezebell." said Silverflame, "We need you."

( back )

Silverflame:

The yearling colt glanced around the clearing, and saw that no one else had raised their wings.

Silverflame:

Silverflame raised his wing, "I have a question," he said, "Some of the teams have less members, will some other member of the teams have to go multiple times."

(Oh okay. I like the new profile pic btw)

(eep)

Emberblaze looked at Redmoon, sad and sorrowful. He felt bad for her that she couldn't continue, but he figured it was for the best because she was injured and he didn't want her to get more injured.

Horizongold watched them calmly, waiting for the other groups to arrive. It took a while, but eventually all of the flight school students were standing in front of him in their groups, awaiting instructions. His gaze swept over the seven groups of twelve, looking for injuries since he knew that this was the hardest one yet. He discreetly pointed to the palomino yearling, a light dapple gray filly, and two bay roans, all from different groups, and gestured for them to come toward him. “My apologies, but you four are all injured,” Horizongold said quietly when they came up to him. “Go visit Cloudroot over there.” He pointed with a wing at the pinto medicine mare, who had flown into the small field after him. The four injured trainees slowly walked over to Cloudroot, dejected. Cloudroot nodded to Horizongold, satisfied that he had seen all the injured students. Or so the mare thought until she got a glimpse of Redmoon’s leg. “Redmoon,” The medicine mare said, “Come here. That’s an order.”

Stromglade snorted. "If you listened you would know." he snapped. Emberblaze whirled around to face the stallion. "Alright, hot-shot. What are we doing then? Why don't you tell me?" he asked, knowing that Stormglade didn't know either.

Stromglade's eyes went wide. "I would tell you, but I'll let Horizongold do it, just because he's the leader." he said.

Emberblaze smirked and turned back toward Horizongold.Magicpetal moaned slightly at the sight of Stormglade, but realised her promise and shook him off and looked back forward.

Redmoon glared at the tree and glanced at Junipersky, confused. "you're not in our group..." She said. "Oh well here I go!" SHe said flexing her wings. She reared up and pushed off with her back legs, causing her injured one to stumble. She flew/jumped over the tree but when she landed, she hit hard because of the stumble when started and she rolled a few rolls and stumbled up and almost fell. "AGH! Not as easy as it looks!" She said. Breezebell shrugged and jumped-flew it with grace but landed hard and stumbled forward btu caught herself.

Junipersky had been assigned to join Stormglade’s group and had left right after Silverflame’s and Magicpetal’s group. Their group performed well, with only two members stumbling on the obstacles, the rings. They then went through the lake, several of the members complaining about its temperature. Now, they caught up with them. ”What do we do now?” Junipersky asked Emberblaze, who was closest to her. At that moment, Horizongold landed in front of them. ”Wait for the others here,” he said. ”I’ll tell you what we’re doing then.”

Emberblaze galloped forward followed by his tow sisters. As they neared the tree, two battle mare's were flying over the tree. And the tree didn't look so small, but it was big enough to jump over. "I Think we have to jump over the tree because the battle mare's are flying!" -he called over the wind. But, as they got closer to the tree, Emberblaze slowed down a little. The tree was Horizongold's height, which was pretty tall. There was another tree about a mile after the first one that looked as tall as a full grown stallion.

One of the battle mare's stepped forward. 'In order for you to move onto the next obstacle, you must jump over this tree. You may use your wings, but only to help you balance and help you to make it over the tree."

Emberblaze galloped forward. He opened his wings and reared on his hind legs. He raised his front legs up and he pushed off with his hind legs, sending him flying forward. He flapped his wings and flew/jumped over the tree. On the other side, he landed and skidded to a halt on the other side.

Redmoon limped over to them. 'You'll live," She said holding up her injured leg which was clean from the water btu still looked very unpleasant. Breezebell trotted over and smiled. "I like water," She said. Redmoon nickered at her sister and limped over to the grass and looked around for the next obstacle.

(Cool!!!!)

Emberblaze nodded and dove under the water. He snorted under the water at the cold and swam toward land. Once his hooves could once again touch the sand, he brought his head back above the water and waded onto shore, his wings dripping wet and his hide ice cold.

Magicpetal dove under and shrieked at the cold. She paddled her frozen legs and flapped her wings. She slowly made her way to the shore. Once her hooves touched the sand again, she started to shiver and the cold water dripped down her hide and forelock. She was gapsing for breath and her legs were trmbling harder than her body and wings were.

Emberblaze waded back into the water and helped his sister toward land. Once she was on shore, she collapsed in the hot sand and rolled, scratching her aching wings.

Goldenstream waded onto the shore shortly after Magicpetal and shook. "That was unpleasant." she said, frowning and looking unamused.

( K XD SHE LOOKS AWESOME! )

( Hmmm, nice! BTW I commented on ROTR rp )

(Awwh! ok. sry that was a little long)

(ugh, can't RP till later)

Redmoon glared at her and glanced at Breezebell who shrugged her shoulder and had wide eyes. Redmoon glared back at them. "I'm fine. I can move jsut fine. It's a tiny cut that won't bother anything," She said confidently. "just let me go on," She glared hard.

The battle mare flew forward. She was becoming annoyed. "Redmmon, right? Your team is only as strong as it's weakest player. Right now, your the weakest player because you are injured. Bleive me, I'm a battle mare so I know the feeling of denying when you are hurt, but if that get's infected you are going to stay n the medicine mare den for a long time, and, I don't think you want that."

“Redmoon!” Horizongold whinnied sharply. He flew over her head and followed her. “Come. With. Me. NOW.” Then he motined a wing to the other eleven. “Get moving,” The young stallion said curtly.

Silverflame:

Horizongold landed with a thud, "Redmoon, you have to go with him." Silverflame pleaded, "I you continue on you'll most likely hurt yourself worse."

(Nightmist?! U here?!)

Horizongold had been briefed by Shadowfire to watch the groups on the obstacle course from above and to watch for injuries. He now narrowed his eyes as he focused on Redmoon. It was a relatively minor injury, but he had been taught that orders were orders. As the group paused in front of the lake, he swooped and landed in front of her. “Let’s go, Redmoon,” he ordered. He saw her face, and added, “You’re leg is injured. I was told to escort any injured yearlings, and you fit that category. Now come on.”

Emberblaze turned his head to look at the sisters. "If you guys are injured, you shouldn't continue. You might hurt yourself even more." he said, looking at Redmoon's leg, concerned

The battle mare stepped forward, ready to take them back to the other yearlings, if they wanted to go.

Emberblaze turned his head to look at the sisters. "If you guys are injured, you shouldn't continue. You might hurt yourself even more." he said, looking at Redmoon's leg, concerned

Silverflame:

"Hold up." said Silverflame, "Mistcloud said that if one of our teammates was injured they would be pulled from the course." he flicked his ears at Redmoon and Breezebell "If those two aren't injured, I don't know what is."

Emberblaze saw that he got a nod from pretty much everyone, so he pinned his wings and dove back down toward land, keeping on eye on his team and Redmoon, whom he noticed had a large cut on her hind leg. He headed toward the next obstacle which was a large lake. "Why would there be a lake as an obsatcle?" he asked himself. But, he figured he would find out. He landed on the shore of the lake and looked confusedly at a watching, nearby battle mare. "What do we do?" he asked her, making sure all his teammates were behind him. The battle mare tossed her head. "You must swim. I can't tell you anything more, you must figure it out for yourself." she said, motioning toward the water. Emberblaze cautiosly walked into the water and he yelped at the frigid temperatures. His teeth started clattering and he started shivering. "We have to swim across this frigid waters to the other side." he said, realising the challenge

( Hello? )

They near the next obstacle which was dangling from a high pine tree. It was a circular branch that was secured to the tree by a vine. "We'll have to fly up to this one!" he called to the yearlings. He opened his wings and lifted off. The circular hoop-branch was swaying slightly in the breeze as the got nearer toward it. He flew up to the first hoop and soared through it. His legs almost got entagled with the hoop, but he freed himself quickly. He waited untill almost everyone was through the hoop, then he continued on to the second hoop. "Make sure your legs are close to your body so they don't get entangled!" he called behind him to the yearlings as he flew toward the second hoop. He pulled his legs closer to his body and soared pretty easily through the second hoop.

Emberblaze trusted his friend and angled his wings upward and shot up to the cloud layer. Magicpetal, who was geting pelted with the smacks along with Goldenstream weren't far behind him.

Silverflame:

More and more objects whizzed by Silverflame, "Go up!" he yelled, realizing that wile remaining in the air made them prime targets, land would only make them more so. Leaving the yearlings only chance at escape was to go up, and hopefully out of the range of their attackers.

Silverflame pumped his wings hard, and it didn't take long for him to get above the tree line. Then he glanced back, hoping to see the other following him.

Emberblaze flew up to the first hoop and soared through it. His legs almost got entagled with the hoop, but he freed himself quickly. He waited untill almost everyone was through the hoop, then he continued on to the second hoop. "Make sure your legs are close to your body so they don't get entangled!" he called behind him to the yearlings as he flew toward the second hoop. He pulled his legs closer to his body and soared pretty easily through the second hoop.

Silverflame:

Silverflame noticed that there were three more hoops behind the first one, this was kinda tricky.

Silverflame:

Emberblaze was the first of the group to reach the obstacle, and he soared over it with on mighty leap. Silverflame was the second to reach the tree, he flapped his wings, and glided over the log, and landed gracefully a winglength or two in front of Emberblaze.

(awwwwh! ok bye!)

Emberblaze smiled. "Of course!" but as always, he kept one eye on Magicpetal, who was galloping behind Emberblaze. He came upon the first obsatcle, which was a fallen log jump and he picked up his front hooves and kicked off with his back hooves and lurched forward, soaring over the jump. He landed with a heavy thud. He craned his neck to look behind him. "Everyone okay?!" he called over the wind.

( gtg )

Redmoon gulped and surged forward with the rest of them. She took the lead of them and Breezebell stayed in the middle.

Silverflame:

Silverflame waited impatiently next to his friends, then finally, his group was called up.

(It's a picture I drew of Mistcloud: http://www.theguardianherd.com/messageboard/fan-art/mistcloud-1 )

(Okay this makes more sense than I expected. Btw, Dragon, what’s your new profile?)

Starsummer trotted after her mate, remembering he wanted her to go with him, but she stopped short once she saw him with the yearlng filly, Redmoon. She folded her wings and stayed quiet, not wanting to intrude.

Emberblaze smiled brightly as he was picked. Magicpetal frowned, but figured she should try her best. Emberblaze saw her worry and he dipped his head to his sis. 'Hey...don't worry. You'll do great! Have fun." he said, smiling.

Silverflame:

As the yearling colt watched as more and more groups were led to the course, excitement was growing in his stomach.
