Dustwing- "Thank you but as much as I respect your offer, I don't think it is a good idea to attack. These wolves were obviously scared away by something. Timber wolves don't just get scared away. And they aren't here to mate. Their mating grounds are north of the trap. If they were this scared we wont be able to drive them back. I think we should sent a scouting mission. Choose five of your strongest steeds and I will choose five of mine and we can go investigate. Raincloud you are welcome to come along."
(I'm back! Sorry this is later that I expected to come back on, but I read the comments from yesterday since there weren't too many, and I'm making part two right now.)
(Sorry I missed a bunch. I had a huge 2-day lacrosse tournament and I was gone for most of yesterday and today. But IM BACK YAAAAA!!!! *starts choking*)
eck sorry I missed so much, I probably won't be on much tomorrow either as I am going to the beach))
Raincloud:
She stayed a few winglengths back and up from her son, not wanting him to think she was overreacting. Raincloud surveyed the ground far below her, watching as the wolves drew closer with each gnarling step.
She couldn't deny it now.
She flew towards Dustwing, descending and hovering just next to Ashray soundlessly. "Dustwing, I and my battle mares will willingly fight the wolves by your side, if you allow us," she spoke, and she saw Ashray turn, startled, to face her.
The lead mare waited for the opposing over stallion's response.
Sunfire-
Sunfire was making sure that Desert herd would be safe, as the Over-Stallions son asked him to do. He was prancing in place nervously, he was itching to know if the Timber Wolves were a threat to the herds he knew Ashray's platoon was not enough if the wolves turned out to be a threat, he hoped that Dustwing was sending out another platoon to help them if it turned out to be a threat, but even that might not be enough. Sunfire trotted over to the shade of a nearby tree hoping it would calm him down, but even that did not help, worrying about the safty of both herds, he tried to calm himself down by making sure Desert Herd would be safe.
(Oof I said HE alot)
Dustwing- "Wolves don't retreat. 15 to 30 steeds wont be able to take them down. I am going out to make sure that fool hearty young stallion doesn't make any rash decisions. I have nothing against him but he doesn't know these animals like us." He said. "Hazelwood go ahead and see what their up to we will be right behind you. She set off and with a flick of his tail a small scout of steeds set out with Dustwing in the lead. "Also Scorchwing, I saw your mate fly off after your son. Are you aware of this?" He said as he was about to take off.
( May I just say, that in book four, the timber wolves seemed VERY aggressive towards Bumblewind and them lot xD )
Hazelwood- She was informed by the desert herd steed that there were timber wolves on the prowl. These wolves weren't very aggressive unless they were hunting. Plus they always hunt from down wind. It was a bad move to attack the wolves cause they can call for many others. The only time pegasi needed to attack these wolves was to defend themselves. "WHOA WHOA WHOA WOAH............................WOAH. Hold your land horses." She said while waving her arms. "First of all these wolves cal call for backup that can take down a whole battalion. So I suggest that we send scouts to see where they are and weather or not they are going to attack. They always hunt down wind and I smell them from upwind. When Im on patrols I see that a lot of them live north of these swells so they could be just passing by." She said sounding more like an over stallion than she meant to. Then she realized everyone was staring at her. She got nervous and crouched down. "Or maybe Ill just stand over there" She squeaked as she walked "over there" nervously waiting for their answer.
(@Rosestream could you make a part 2 post so this does not hv so many pages?)
(byeeeeeeeee)
(xD)
(LOL)
(I already knew that xD I'm going to be gone today, but I have extra time since my family's rlly slow)
( Recap: Not much has happened except for Desert Herd having been affected by a plague, and they are currently quarantined around 2-3 miles away from the herd. Daisyfire’s report of wolves near the canyon has been confirmed, but they are timber wolves, a pack of around 14, and the pegasi are wondering what had driven them this far Easr/South/Southeast And now, Vixinleap and Lilacroot are going to get a platoon from Dustwing to fight off the wolves, while Ashray, Honeyblossom, Rainclo9ud, and Scorchwing, along with around 40 healthy pegasi, are heading already heading towards the wolves and are estimated to arrive before Dustwing’s platoon of pegasi. Did I help? :D )
(Im gone for today and most of tomarrow so i cant rp sorry)
Raincloud:
The mare hugged her son back, taking in his scent. "I know you'll be fine," she whispered, watching him fly away.
"But I need to help in any way I can."
With that, she flared her amber wings and flapped, shooting off after her son, making up her mind.
She was going to fight off the wolves, invited or not.
Raincloud had to help the two herds, foreign and familiar alike. Maybe battle was the answer to unitement all along, just not in the way they all suspected.
Maybe the two herds would finally be at peace if she helped.
(Tomorrow, I'm going to be visiting some friends for the day, so would anyone mind giving me a recap tomorrow night?
Mossbrook- "See you later, Beestripe!" Mossbrook called, flying away to go see the Desert Herd, and see if they were as terrible as she remembered. They had killed her best friend.
Lilacroot:
"Haha...my mission is accomplished." She said, watching the two interact for the first time. She nickered loudly to herself and flapped her wings faster in victory.
Lilacroot:
She turned to Raincloud. "Oh! It's my pleasure! And don't worry about that. You're a lead-mare and worrying about hurt foals is what a lead-mare does. You quickly acted on instinct-a quality not many pegasi have. Besides, no one was hurt and most of your steeds are healthy!"
She heard Vixinleap landing next to her in a panic. She listened to his report with surprising calmness.
She looked back to Raincloud. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. After they're done fighting the wolves, they'll need a medicine mare."
Lilacroot turned to Hazelwood, took one look at the cut and said, "Hazelwood, I'll treat you when I get back. While I'm away, rinse the cut thoroughly in water and chew on pine needles to help with the pain." And with that, Lilacroot lifted off and as fast as she could, flew towards her herd.
Vixinleap:
He burst into the clearing just as Raincloud said wolves, and dived down, much like Hazelwood had, in an explosion of feathers. He landed in the midst of it all cantering up to Lilacroot. “Lilacroot! Wolves, in the canyon. But they aren’t regular wolves, they’re- they’re timber wolves. 14 of them. One of the largest packs I’ve ever seen before. They’re headed this way, smelling the blood on these pegasi from injuries. We have to get them to a new place of quarantine,” he brayed.
Ashray:
He twisted his ears in the direction of Vixinleap, and came up to the stallion. “Where are they?” He asked. When Vixinleap gave him a suspicious look, he held out his wing and said, “Ashray. Heir of Scorchwing and Raincloud.”
“Vixinleap,” he replied, shaking Ashray’s wing. Then he pointed with his wing in a northwest direction. “That is the way to the canyon. I don’t know if you Desert Herd pegasi have dealt with timber wolves before, but they are around our size and twice as dangerous. Sometimes it takes at least 50 pegasi to take down a pack of 7, let alone 14!” He said. Ashray nodded. “I’ll gather up our captains and most healthiest steeds. You go inform Dustwing, and tell him we’d be internally grateful if he’d send one of his platoons to help us get rid of the abominations,” Ashray snorted. Vixinleap nodded. “I’ll bring them.“ With that, Vixinleap jumped into the air, rocketing straight for Dustwing.
At the speed he was going, Ashray guessed Vixinleap would arrive in around 6 minutes, and another 4 to organize the platoon, and then another 5 to get to the canyon. Ashray whinnied for the captains, who quickly came, recognizing their best warrior’s battle cry. “Fernfire, round up the healthy, without foal battle-mares. Dustfire, go pick out 10 under-stallions, and Robinfire, go gather up another 20,” Ashray commanded.
The captains soon took off, gathering steeds from the small mass of pegasi very quickly. Then he heard his father come up behind him.
“Son-“ Scorchwing started.
“I’ve got this, father. The herd needs their leaders, not the Heir. Besides, you’ve got another one coming soon. I’ll be fine,” He said, reassuring his father. He hugged him, and hugged his mother.
( this exploded, and now I don’t know what to do with myself. )
Hello??))
(im bk) Mossbrook- She bumps him with her hip. "How are you?"
(Bai)
Beestripe - he blushes slightly and says, "Hai, Mossbrook!"
Beestripe - he grazed nearby
ok))
adult stallions i mean))
Pebbleheart- She trotted around the forest looking for Smokewood. "SHMOOOOOOOOOOOKEWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD" She neighed hoping he would hear her.
Mossbrook- "No...sorry." she replied sadly.
Mossbrook- Mossbrook realized she had just ran into someone and flew down quickly. "Smokewood, are you okay?" she asked looking concerned.
Hazelwood- "Oh thank goodness" she sighed. "I tripped over Mossbrook and scrapped my leg." She wheezed and coughed "I also think I swallowed dirt." she explained wrinkling her nose.
SMokewood - he was running through the forest, looking for Pebbleheart and Duskriver, when he ran in to Mossbrook, falling onto the ground and eating some dirt.
Honeyblossom - seeing Hazelwood approach, she said to Lilacroot, "I can take care of the new herd, you should go help Hazelwood." She knew that she could've helped Hazelwood and leave the other steeds to the professional, but she was hoping the appaloosa stallion might drop by.
(Honestly I've no clue.)
(xD)
(Or no??)
(Are we gonna continue RPing??)
(bye)
Rivercloud - she nuzzled the foal, then leaned against her mate. "Thank you, Dustwing" (gtg see y'all)
Rivercloud - she hugged the foal, then nickered, "I love you, sweet pea."
Mossbrook- She leaned into her new parents and cried tears of joy. "Thank you. Thank you." she nickered quietly as she nuzzled them both.
Rivercloud - her heart leaped with joy. She nuzzled the foal, happy that she now had a home.
(Uhhhh...wow)
Mossbrook- "Really," she asked incredulously. "You... you guys wanna adopt me?" Her eyes filled with tears, but they were tears of happiness. "Yes," she cried sobbing. "Please please yes!"
Rivercloud - seeing the fear in her eyes, she said, "You're not in trouble - don't worry!" She looked at her mate and smiled, then, turning back to Mossbrook, she said, "We, we were wondering if you'd be okay with us adopting you" Her eyes glowed, waiting for the filly's answer.
Dustwing- He looked into his mate's eyes. "No..." He saw the shock in his mates eye. But then he smile and chucked ".....way we aren't. Of course we can. Has she been living without a dam this whole time?"
Rivercloud - "Yes, poor girl..." Then, she quieted her voice, trying to keep Mossbrrook from hearing her. "I was thinking we could adopt her, but it's up to you. I can't imagine how lonely she must be..."
