Briarcloud: The mare left her foals in the meadow and trotted towards the stretch of ash, birch and willow trees. Briarcloud looked over her shoulder at her fillies, and smiled inside “they are perfect.” She said to herself. Briarcloud looked up at the sky the clouds were gather over the crystal blue sky,

The mare hurried to the cover of the trees, flapping her white wings something was wrong

“hey blossom!” The voice nearly gave an heart attack, she spun a round slamming her wing into a red stallion, she took in a breath “don’t sneak up on me like that!” The stallion smiled “then don’t come to see me.” for a moment Briarcloud thought he wasn’t joking, but she saw the playful sparkle in his eyes, she plopped on the ground and begun to tell what had happened doing the day, she stopped when the whole drama with Frostflower had happened, Ripplestep“

Rainfire-

Bravefire's words echoed in his head. He let go of Bravefire with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. The big roan stepped forward and followed Bravefire but still keeping watch so that the stallion couldn't go rouge again.

Stormfire-

The silver mare was astonished. She just followed behind Rainfire to surprised to talk. Thoughts swam in her head like sharks circling their prey.

@Coraleaf

Ambersnip shook her neck, sending her mane in a flying ark of dark cremello. Her eyes were sad, but her lean body danced with life and determination. "I don't know. But, whatever the reason may happen to be, the stallion is captured and Applyfly is on her way to help the filly. All's well that ends well, in my book." She added, enjoying the sun on her feathers.

Rainfire-

He followed the stallion and pinned him to the ground not with the intention to hurt him. He stepped on his wing so that he couldn't fly away, being careful not to break the delicate bones. He sighed at the sight of his captain. " You're going to need one good explanation to get out of this." Rainfire said as the others approached. But little did Rainfire know that Bravefire had an explanation. Maybe not one that would get him out of punishment, but one that would shock the herd. But would he reveal that dark secret? (Dark secret as in the father of the foals.)

Bravefire: He landed quietly, waiting for the insults but right now he felt nothing, he had been so close.

Rainfire-

The big stallion trotted over to Briarcloud and make sure everyone was ok. The filly had a broken wing but that would heal. He heard a loud whistle and lifted off along with a pretty grulla mare named Stormfire. They raced toward the steeds and Bravefire hoping to help. "Need a hoof" he asked Strongfire as he raced over to the group.

Moonfrost-

"Last time I saw your brother he was going after Bravefire," Moonfrost nickered. Moonfrost got up and looked at where the others were chasing Bravefire, she looked at Briarcloud "Don't worry, I'll go help the others catch Bravefire." She nickered reassuringly. She arched her wings, and with one strong flap she sailed forward.

She caught up to the others right when Bravefire got knocked out of the sky.

Briarcloud: ”well.” She responded to Moonfrost “let me think..........DRAG THAT PILE OF FOXDUNG BRAVEFIRE OVER HERE SO I CAN BEAT HIM UP........please.” She took in a large breath, Frostflower looked back and forth between the mares While Violetray quietly muttered to herself “beat up? I think I like a beat up.” Briarcloud looked over at Lunarstorm “hello? Can I do anything to help catch that coward.”

Moonfrost-

Moonfrost nickered to Briarcloud trying to reasure her "Don't worry, the other captains and battlemares are after Bravefire right now. Is there anything I can do for you?" Moonfrost asked.

Moonfrost gazed into the distance hoping the others were alright.

EVIL! grrrrrr.... 😠😜

Hi guys! So let me get this straight. Someone would write something and i try to connect it or somebody else?

(Lol I’m sorry too xd

(thanks guys for the 140 notifications XD! I will try to write something as soon as I have time! Sorry I have been inactive lately; family has been visiting!)

Strongfire-

Strongfire landed on the ground, he thought that when Bravefire fell he would most likely break a leg or two, and a few other injury's, so that basically removed all escape chances.

Hawkstride heard joyous sounds behind him. He took a peek over his shoulder and grinned at Shellmist. "Yeah! That's it! You're getting it." he called over the shearing winds. Soon Shellmist caught up to him and they flew side by side, riding the winds to who-knows-where.

Solarray-

Solarray watched as Bravefire spirled out of the sky, knowing that he had been flying low enough that once he hit the ground he would still be alive, just to injured to get away. The under-stallion was predicting Bravefire would end up with at least one fractured wing, a few cracked ribs, and possibly a broken leg or two. With this in mind, Solarray called over his shoulder to a small mare who had followed the pursuing steeds to go get Applefly, and send her this way once she was done with Briarcloud's filly. The reason for this was - other then the obvious - was that Solarray was still confused as to what had happened, and wanted to make sure that everyone was fairly treated. Even if that meant saving the life of a criminal.

Bravefire: He Bit his lip with fury but it was true what Frostflower had told him “legends never die.” His whole body quivered with pain and blood. He looked over with a forced look on the little gap in the solid wall of sand and stone “so close.” He muttered to himself, another blow from Hollyfire woke him he nipped at her foreleg, not really wanting to hurt her, the voices in his head twirled around like a sand storm “kill, kill, kill, son, failure, murder, fall, fly.”

Strongfire-

Strongfire hoovered in the air waiting for the traitorous stallion to fall from the sky, so that he can help hold him down.

Hollyfire-

She slammed into the other wing, copying Solarray's move. She had slammed her two front hooves at the root, hoping to snap it.

Bravefire: He frantically flapped his left wing, his other wing was clearly broken.

The stallion raced off after Bravefire, grateful that Hollyfire and Strongfire were right behind him. Soloarray watched as the battle mare captain struck out at the traitorous stallion once, twice, and then she stopped, as if waiting for him to make the next move. Quickly, the gray stallion twisted in mid air, and slammed his hooves into the base of Bravefire's right wing, hoping that it was hard enough to break them.

Strongfire-

Strongfire flew to the side letting Hollyfire ram into Bravefire, he waited watching for Hollyfire's next move, and ready to help hold down the stallion.

Hollyfire-

She nodded to Strongfire, ramming into Bravefire, trying to force him down to the ground. Her right hoof struck at the traitor captain, packed with strength and energy but aimed carefully and neatly. She flew high, coming down with another strike to the captain's back....

Strongfire:

Strongfire whirled around in the sky looking for Bravefire and the filly, he spotted the filly beside Moonfrost and Stormfire, he thought at least the filly is safe... but where is that traitor Bravefire? Bu there he spotted him, he saw a few pegasi trailing behind him, he arched his wings and dived down just like a falcon about to catch his prey, the wind was whipping through his mane. Strongfire spread his wings back so he wouldn't land on the ground, and with a quick flap of his wings he sailed forward.

Strongfire dodged all the other pegasi behind Bravefire, he slowed as he got right behind Bravefire, and nipped at his hind legs trying to make him stop, so that when the Over-Stallion got there he could come up with a punishment for this traitor.

Hollyfire-

The fiery mare pulled besides Solarray.

"Need a hoof? I'm bored."

Shellmist:

She gave him a skeptical look, but her faith overpowered her doubt, and she spread out her wings slowly until she could spread them no more. She marveled at how balanced she was and looked at him. “You’re right!” She exclaimed. She grinned. “What’s next?!” She said, hoping there was more to learn and practice.

Solarray-

Wile the others were headed back to the ground surrounding Briarcloud's filly, Solarray took off after Bravefire. Hoping to catch the traitorous stallion before he could get away.

Lunarstorm-

The palomino mare led the way as she Blackwing and Applefly raced back to Quake Herd.

Hawkstride smiled in amusement at her eagerness to learn. "Okay!" He launched himself into the sky once more and flew up next to her.

"First, stretch your wings out as far as they can go." He said. Once she had accomplished that, he nodded and continued.

"It's almost the exact opposite of flying through crammed spaces, which is cool and weird at the same time...I guess. Anyway, instead of pinning your wings to your side-like you would do in forrests-spread them out." Hawkstride explained, nodding to his wings which were fully stretched out. "I know it might feel a little unbalanced and unsecure, but trust me. If you fly with your wings close to your body in open spaces and in higher altitudes, your wings could snag on a crosswind. Extending them, is the only way to stay completely balanced, even when you get caught in a crosswind." Hawkstride said, motioning for her to give it a try.

Moonfrost-

"The filly is hurt" Moonfrost nickered worriedly, nodding at Frostflower "She has a twisted wing."

Frostweed:

He shot his head up at the commotion and was frightened to learn Bravefire had tried to kill the filly of Briarcloud, resulting in the injury of Briarcloud and the filly. He was already flying away, and there was nothing he could do. He fluffed out his feathers and looked skyward. It was almost twilight. He would have to find his sister soon and give her the flight he'd promised her.

A thought came into his mind. One involving the assistant medicine mare, Applefly. His heart twisted in agony as he again remembered her when she was younger. HSe was happier then. Now, she seemed even less happy and no where close to being interested in anything but her duties. He sighed, spread his wings, and jumped into the air.

He had seen his sister fly towards Storm bay with the colt named Hawkstride. This brought a bit of pride into his desolate mind, but it didn't conjure much of a difference. He dove into the tree layer, performing many flips and twists to avoid hitting any of the tree branches.

Soon, he popped out on the beach of Storm Bay. When he spotted his sister, his first instinct was to call her, but when he saw her still with the colt Hawkstride, he ducked back into the trees, not wanting to mess up his sister's "love life."

Shellmist-

She smiled at Hawkstride, agreeing with him that it was weird. She immediately brightened, if possible more than she already was, when he mentioned teaching her how to fly in open spaces. In response, she opened her wings, raised her neck, and attempted to launch into the air like she had seen her brother do many times. She succeeded, and called down to him, "Please! Show me how!", with a broad smile claiming her face.

Ambersnip flew back to her friends, glad that the filly didn't fall. She grazed a couple wing lengths away from them, glancing every now and then at the filly.

Briarcloud: The mare reached her filly with a large sigh “my poor baby!” She cried out she shook her head, tears streaming down her face, Violetray tried to comfort Briarcloud with small brays.

Miststorm looked down at Frostflower with worry in her eyes, she trotted over to the other side of Frostflower, and layed down carefully avoiding the injured wing

Nope

Bravefire: He looked up at the two mares starring angrily down at him, he had one trick left, he held his breath and began to do sudden movements and pant. It was a dangerous trick but if he wanted to live, the mares step back he heard them calling his name, he grinned inside, with a little spark of power he launched himself in the air leaving Frostflower with the mares, he would come back soon not yet but soon.

Stormfire-

The mare galloped behind Bravefire and was able to grab his tail. The dust filled her lungs making it hard to breathe but she knew she couldn't let go. She dug her hooves into the ground and pushed back with all her weight. All she could do was try.

Rainfire-

The stallion had filled with rage. It was clear from the cracking sound what had just happened. He raced past the others and grabbed Bravefire's wing and hurtled him back towards land.

Stormfire-

The captain crashed to the ground but was alive-just stunned. She immediately galloped over towards the captain and pinned him to the ground. Knowing she wouldn't be able to hold him she cried for back-up. "I won't be able to hold him. Someone help." She already felt the steed coming back to his senses and pushing against her. She needed back-up. And quick.

Solarray-

Still not really knowing what was happening, Solarray kicked off and followed his herdmates into the sky

Brightforsyt She flew up in a hurry as she saw Bravefire grabbing Frostflower by the wing . What the heck that is so messed up Bravefire she thought she flew up to join the captains willing to protect at any cost.

Solarray-

The gray stallion heard the voices of Strongfire and Miststorm bickering behind him, but he chose to ignore it. Instead, his eyes remained fixed on Bravefire who was still holding Briarcloud's young filly tightly by the wing. Solarray was still confused by what exactly was going on, it seemed so out of character for the captain, but as he continued to hold the filly one thing became certain... there had to be more to this story.

Strongfire-

"I'm trying to protect you, I don't want you to get hurt." Bravefire nickered softly with a hint of worry in his voice.

Miststorm-

"I don't need your protection!" She snorted.

Strongfire-

"Please don't, I really don't want you to get hurt." he whinnied softly.

Miststorm-

"Ughh, fine!" Miststorm stomped her hooves obviously still irritated. But deep down she could not help but thinking that Bravefire might like her.

Ambersnip saw Bavefire's intentions in his cold glare and screamed furiously. "No way! Sorry Mr. Captain but that's a big no-no!" She flared her wings and tried to help in any way she could, but she was a sky herder- they are usually smaller in stature- so, she couldn't do too much against this large and determined captain. But, she wouldn't sit by and watch this stallion hurt an innocent foal. She bared her teeth, pinned her ears flat against her neck, and pawed the ground, ripping up huge chunks of grass and soil.

Rainfire-

The big roan had had enough. He reared and bit the top of Bravefire's neck. He didn't want to injure him, just to force him to let go. He bit till he tasted blood and then lessened his hold but did not let go. "Drop her" he brayed like an over-stallion, through a mouthful of mane. The two stallions glared at each other. Rainfire splayed his wings to make himself look bigger in hopes to intimidate Bravefire. Most stallions would have been scared and backed down but just as Rainfire thought, the stallion was tuff and didn't back down.

Ambersnip joined Stormfire and the other mare's and helped them drive Bravefire toward Briarcloud.

Stormfire-

The silver mare was outraged at the sight of Bravefire stealing a foal. She reared and stomped her hooves like an over-stallion but knew it would do nothing. She saw several of the other mares doing the same. Rainfire confronted him and she trotted behind the stallion hoping to block his way. A few other steeds joined her and blocked Bravefire, forcing him to turn back to Briarcloud.

Hawkstride stretched his framed wings to their full length and sighed in relief as he felt the aching fade. He noticed that Shellmist was no longer beside him. He turned around to see her standing on the sandy shore. He flew over to her and landed. He suddenly landed that it was quiet here. A little too quiet. The only sound his keen ears could hear was the sound of the waves lapping at his hooves. "Weird..." He mumbled. He glanced at Shellmist, looking for an explanation in her eyes, but when he didn't find one, he looked away. "Not even the birds are singing..." He mumbled again. Hawkstride swished his tail, sketched out. Hoping to add some noise to the air again, he spoke. "I'll teach you how to fly in open spaces now, if you want."

Ambersnip was just as shocked as her friends. That surprise molded into confusion, then twisted into rage. "How dare he grab someone else's foal?! Especially a new born who belonged to the lead mare!" She pinned her ears at the stallion-even though he could easily beat her in a fight. She stamped her hooves and lashed her tail. She nickered sharply in protest.

Rainfire-

The blue roan noticed what was going on and new that Blackwing wouldn't want his filly hurt. (doesn't know that it's Ripplestep's) As his right hand stallion, he wanted to do what he could to protect Blackwing's family. Though he thought it was odd because Bravefire was usually very protective of Briarcloud and a very loyal captain. Something was definitely wrong. Rainfire flew over to Bravefire but didn't lash out at him. He wanted to let the stallion explain himself. He landed with a suspicious glare, accidentally scaring Frostflower. "Bravefire let her go, that's an order." but when he saw that the stallion was reluctant to let her go, he calmed himself. Surely there was an explanation for this. "Bravefire, what going on" he asked kindly hoping to settle this peacefully.

Briarcloud: Lunarstorm's comment made her happy, Violetray slowly trotted to her side sniffing the air, her eyes darted from one steed to another, while snorting happily. Frostflower was a little more hesitant but finally she reached her wing out gently touching the ground, sniffing to a little stem of grass, she sneezed and landed muzzle first on the soil, her sister helped Frostflower to her feet. Briarcloud looked anxiously at Bravefire, the pinto's eyes shinned with both anger and disgust. This wasn't really a surprise, since he had an issue with anger. She tried to stay calm

"Well we should go." She hurried out of the circle of with Violetray after her but she heard a little squeak from Frostflower .She spun her hackles raised, Bravefire had grabbed her filly's left wing in his mouth, the other captains look confused but Briarcloud knew what was going on, the pinto stallion was searching the nearest group of Pegasi grazing for any reaction "Let Her Go." she said with a threatening voice, her voice had rung out pretty loudly and had caused a large red stallion, to glare at Bravefire. Come on you got what you wanted, let her go maniac. but the Captain just grinned and turned not letting go, of her filly's emerald wing, they already had enough problems.

Solarray-

The stallion was listening intently to the conversation, when a terrible idea struck him, "What if Blackwing has disappeared like the others?" Solarray whinnied, a little bit panicked. Quake Herd had just gotten the new over-stallion less then 4 moons before, after the pervious one had been bitten by a poisonous snake, was it possible for the herd to transition to yet another leader in such short a time?

Lunarstorm-

Lunarstorm ignored her brother's comment, because the palomino mare was more distracted by the two new-born fillies that were trailing behind Briarcloud. "You had your foals?" asked the mare excitedly, "They're adorable Briarcloud!"
