The Isles of Nowhere | Rp (COMPLETED)

     Namir just kept walking. He had to find someone he could trust before anything else were to happen. A small ball of light formed at the tip of his horn to help him see where he was going. The stallion stopped abruptly as he noticed a large hole in the middle of his path. "Woah..." he said as he looked down, but it would have been sudden death if he would of fell into the pit with how deep it seemed to be. There was no telling just how deep the pit was.

     Namir just looked up to see that if he got a running start, he was more then likely able to jump over the pit to get to the other side. That's just what he did. Namir turned around and walked back half the distance he already walked to ensure he got enough distance to break into a gallop. "Here's go nothing...I'm coming Solstice," he said before he slowly picked up speed. It wasn't long before Namir had to make the big jump. He put as much force into it as he could, and sure enough he made it over. Barely, but he made it. 

     The stallion nodded as he looked back at the pit before he was about to continue on. Though he heard a crackling sound far in the distance. Namir could just barely see a small dim light far into the distance. He didn't hesitate to run in that direction hoping whatever he heard led him to his sister. Though the closer he got, the quicker he noticed two figures soon figuring out who they were. 

     "Eclipsetess, Azulia." he said as he came to a stop looking around, "Where's Solstice?" he asked looking around not seeing any sign of her. That's when he realized it. Namir just looked down, "We need to find her..quickly. She doesn't do well when she's completely alone..even in the dark," he sighed before looking at the two mares again, "I know her. If we can't get to her, then we need to figure out a way to get her to come." he said trying to think of something quickly. He wasn't sure if she was hurt or not, or was in any sort of danger. "Whoever that mare and stallion were, they were definitely after me and my sister. I understand them being after my sister..she's special in some way, but me? That part I don't know."

     Solstice just stayed where she was. She couldn't see a thing. Complete darkness. Solstice tried to get herself to a take a step forward, but she couldn't. She just couldn't. Solstice just looked down closing her eyes until she jolted up again looking around. Whispers. She heard whispers. Solstice wasn't sure if it was just her head or not, but it terrified her even more. The whispers she was hearing were saying things she heard others tell her all the time, but the voice..or voices were unfamiliar to her.

"Okay okay Namir darling, we just need to find a chamber that leads to Solstice." Eclipsetess a bit hesitant, as she gave no feeling of hesitant in her voice, Azulia then got up to look around for another chamber that could lead to Solstice.

Eclipsetess then used her wings as she began tapping walls with her hooves, Azulia did the samething, then when Eclipsetess got a bit mad.. She began using her horn to break any hidden walls, so that she could find a chamber or path leading to Solstice, but no luck was to avail.

"Your not getting to her yet..!" the unfamiliar mare said in a whisper, Eclipsetess got a bit scared and worried for Solstice, she then began blasting again as her horn oozed more black liquid out, Azulia got a bit scared and hid.

"Your never gonna see her again, unless she comes to you..!" the unfamiliar mare said, as her shadow form smiled before disappearing once more.

Eclipsetess started growling then roared with anger, Azulia hid in a corner as she shifted herself to fit, Eclipsetess still wouldn't calm down as she feared for Solstice's life, Azulia then felt something hit her, Eclipsetess stopped as she looked where the sound came from..

"Show yourself mortal!" Eclipsetess yelled, her voice distorted and torn, it echoed so far that even the serpents and dragon's could hear from far away, Solstice was definately able to hear Eclipsetess yell.

Azulia shoved herself more into the corner as voices started to ramble inside her head, then she snapped back to reality and Eclipsetess was staring at her, she was confused on what was happening to Azulia..

"Are you okay Azulia dear? You look like a ghost got you!" Eclipsetess said worriedly, Azulia was even more confused then before.

"Didn't you yell?" Azulia asked, Eclipsetess looked at her like she was bizaare.

"I didn't yell, I was simply trying to calm you down when you got into your panic attack, so that's why I snapped you back to reality." Eclipsetess said, the three were still in the cave, Azulia started crying as Eclipsetess summoned a blanket on her.

"Now Namir, we need to figure a plan out. A way getting Solstice and a way escaping this place." Eclipsetess said, as she looked at Namir, then looked around her surroundings for any shadows out of place.

"Now, I'll write everything down as you come up with a plan. And don't worry, Guardians can remember things even if they are reborn, so our memories stay with us until we can become angels. In that case, just tell me details and I'll map out the place!" Eclipsetess said, as she summoned some paper, and she summoned a pen and she used her magic to map out everything. Azulia joined in too.

As Eclipsetess continued to map the caves, she realized that they were in caverns, smaller and more compact but had lot's of traps naturally made. She then called over Azulia and Namir to look at the map.

     Namir just paced back and forth a bit. "You don't get it. Every second we spend here means another second she's in danger. She hasn't learned to use her magic, she can hardly fly, and I've been trying to get her to face her fears for years, but I haven't been successful. I'm not doubting her, but I can't just stand here," he said getting more and more worried. Solstice was way more important then anything else to him. He would even sacrifice himself for her if it ever came to it. Sure he may be mean and harsh towards others, but he was the complete opposite towards Solstice. He trusted Eclipsetess and Azulia because he knew his sister did.

     The stallion's head shot up as he heard the unfamiliar mare's voice again. Only this time it was in a whisper. "My sister has done nothing to deserve this! She's harmless, and terrified!" he called out in anger as he looked around trying to find the mare, but she couldn't be seen. "What do you want with her!?" Namir just started to try and find anything that would lead him to his sister, but all three of them had failed.

     The whispering was starting to get to Solstice as she ended up yelling. She couldn't take it. All she heard was, "You're pathetic", "weak", "worthless", "cursed", and many other hurtful things she had been told throughout her life. Solstice never experienced anything like it. The words just kept repeating and repeating, and eventually Solstice just ended up yelling, "Make it stop! Make it stoppp!" she called out hoping someone had heard her, but she wasn't sure if anyone did. Though the whispering did stop...for now.

     It was then that Solstice perked up. She heard something. It was nothing like the whispering that was putting her down. This time the voice was familiar... Solstice flicked her ears trying to figure out what she heard, and who it was. "Eclipsetess?" she said to herself, "Eclipsetess!" she called out, but over the next few minutes she came to realize she or the others weren't coming. Solstice could barely see a thing, but she took a step forward without even realizing it. Before she knew it, her horn started to glow enough to produce enough light to allow her to see. 

    Solstice just gulped and took a deep breath before she hesitantly started walking in the only direction she could. Though she kept her head lowered, and tried to listen for anything else. All that she heard was the sound of her hooves on the cave floor. "It's too late now..." she muttered to herself shakily as she slowly continued to walk despite everything in her telling her to stop. Just hearing Eclipsetess gave her barely enough courage to try and find a way out, or a way to the others. 

     Namir just stood silently, head lowered, as he let out a sigh. "It's like that mare said. We can't get to her...she has to come to us, but I don't think she can pull herself together to...we don't know if she is even in the same situation we were in before we all ended up here." he said looking up at the two mares. "I feared someone would come one day in search of her, but I never expected anything like this...I..may never see her again..." Namir stopped talking after that. He couldn't bring himself to say anything else as he just tried to think.

     It seemed like eternity that Solstice had been walking. Every once in awhile she called out hoping someone would hear her, but she never got a response. That was until the last time she called. Namir perked up as he thought he heard something, "Did you guys here that...?" he asked as he kept his ears open. There it was again. "It almost sounds like.....Solstice!" he called out once he looked over and saw his sister, "I thought I had lost you!"

     Solstice stopped once she saw three figures in the distance. Before she even realized it, one of them had started running towards her, but she recognized the voice. "Namir..? Namir!" she said as she stuck to him like glue before he ushered her to stay with him before going back to the others. Solstice nodded as she stuck to his side as they went back to the others, "I didn't know what to do...I freaked out..There were these whispers that wouldn't stop getting into my head, and I lost it until they stopped.." she said still quite shaken up and frightened. 

     She then looked over at Eclipsetess. It was as if she was never hurt. Namir just looked over every inch of her body, "You aren't hurt are you?" Solstice just shook her head, "Not that I know of..." she said clearly still shaken up. "Why are they after us...? Why are they after me..?" she asked looking at the three of them. Solstice thought she heard something, but she only jumped and got even closer to Namir as her body was still shaking. Namir was worried about her. He'd never seen her like this before, and he only gave Eclipsetess and Azulia a concerned look.

Azulia sighed, she was happy that Solstice was here, Eclipsetess just went up to her and started treating her like a foal, Azulia just giggled to herself..

"I was so worried, I was so worried about you, that I went mad and started to get angry not finding you.." Eclipsetess's voice died off, she was happy that Solstice was here, but now she could map out the region.

"So what do we do now? Do we wait for that mare to speak again, or what? All the ways we came are dead ends that lead to death. Except Stolstice.." Azulia murmured to herself, she was hoping the other didn't hear her part of the end, though she was worried if they did hear her.

"Well, I am maping the region, so that we can find a way out. At least what I'm doing is helpful." Eclipsetess said, then the unfamiliar mares voice rang again, this time a little louder.

"You won't get out, you'll need to find a way~" the mare's voice died off, then a hiss was echoing through the cave.

"Wait, Azulia what did you get when you came here? Like a boss.. Or something dangerous." Eclipsetess asked Azulia, Azulia perked her head up and looked at Eclipsetess worried.

"A serpent." Azulia whispered, Eclipsetess couldn't hear what she said.

"Azulia, speak up, I can't hear what your saying." Eclipsetess told Azulia, Azulia looked up at Eclipsetess, she was nervous and frightened.

"A sea serpent, I used my wings to fly around him. Or her.." Azulia said, Eclipsetess looked at her worriedly.

"I just had a hydra creature thing, it had so many different heads, it could even shapeshift it's own heads!" Eclipsetess shouted a bit, then another hiss rang.

"I think the serpent has more hearing.." Azulia said, she turned her head to look where she was until she paused in silence, she began to shake when Eclipsetess turned her head.

"No.." Eclipsetess whispered, the serpent was coming, it's hisses could be heard through the echoes.

"We need to fight or flight!" Azulia shouted, she got up and the serpent got faster at slithering it's scaly body to the cave.

Azulia was scared as she hid behind Solstice and Namir, Eclipsetess just stood up and contracted her big wings, at least her wings where big enough to fit in the cave perfectly, her horn glowed as a force made up of magic was used as a force field, then the serpent stood up as it was too big. Eclipsetess made the shield stronger as the serpent began to wack it with it's head and tail.

Azulia stayed where she was until the hydra stuck it's long neck out to have the head attack the serpent, Eclipsetess stopped the barrier then she looked behind her, she got the bright idea as Azulia met her gaze and also made a realization.

"To Solstice's cavern! NOW!" Eclipsetess said commandingly, Azulia followed as she hoped that the other two would shortly follow..

     "I was too scared to move until I heard your voice echo...I don't want to be in here..." she said as she looked around before she felt a chill run down her spine. "My horn...when I was trying to find you guys...my horn started to glow.." she said looking at Eclipsetess, "I don't know why it did, but I had nothing to do with it..at least I think.." she said looking down. Namir just calmly put his muzzle on her to help calm her a bit before looking at the others.

     "What is there to map? There's only four paths. We all came from a different one, and none of us saw a different path," he said before giving Althea a bit of a look. Solstice was already terrified, and he didn't need Azulia mentioning their near death experiences. "We all had a different...obstacle..including my sister, but we all got past it. Now we just need to find a way out of here...if there is one.." he said looking down slightly.

     Namir tried to watch what he said not wanting to scare Solstice more then what she already was. It seemed Eclipsetess and Azulia had some sort of creature while he had a large pit he had to jump over. Namir went into defensive mode as the mare's voice was heard again and a hissing sound. "Don't leave my side," he said to Solstice knowing she wouldn't already. "We'll get out of here! Just be ready!" he snorted with a stamp of his hoof as the hissing slowly grew louder.

     Namir and Solstice just stood there watching Eclipsetess, but Namir tried to think of something. The stallion roughly nudged Solstice to go with Eclipsetess and Azulia, "I'll handle this..just go! Don't leave their side!" he said as Solstice stood there hesitantly. She just nodded and followed the two mares galloping to her cavern. Namir on the other hand just stood there, "Alright you beast follow me," he said muttering to himself as he faced the serpent and the hydra.

     The stallion reared as he shot a fireball at the serpent to get it's attention. Thankfully it worked...a little too well. Namir quickly had to turn around and gallop leading the serpent away from the others, and towards the pit. "This better work..." he said as he looked back to see the serpent right on his tail. Namir just picked up speed as he could see the pit quickly approaching. 

     At the last second, Namir jumped. Never did he think he'd have to jump over the pit again, but he had to. Fortunately, he made it to the other side. The serpent, not so much. Namir just turned around and stood at the edge of the pit as he watched the serpent try to save itself before it fell in. The pit was deeper then he thought it was since he never heard the serpent hit the bottom. Quickly he just backed up away from the edge.

     Namir was breathing heavily as he looked around. He had to jump the pit a third time. Though he wasn't entirely sure he could do it a third time, but he had to. For Solstice. Namir simply just stood trying to regain some of his energy and to slow his breathing before he even attempted to jump it a third time. He hoped the others were still together and unharmed, but he wouldn't know for sure until he regrouped with them.

     It seemed like forever that the three were running back to where Solstice began. When they reached the end, Solstice stopped and looked back, "We have to go after him! This is just a dead end!" she cried out unsure of what to do. She didn't want to leave her brother's side, but he didn't give her a choice. "Namir!" she tried calling out, but all she heard was her echo. "Namir..." she muttered as she looked down.

     Solstice never wanted any of this. She just wanted to be loved. Was that so much to ask for? Now she was trapped in these caverns, being hunted. Why was this mare and stallion after her and her brother? There was nothing special about her. Maybe they mistaken them for someone else? Solstice wasn't sure, but she couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't long before she started to hear the whispers again. Though they were only in her head, and the others couldn't hear them. "Make it stop! Make it stop!" she cried out as the whispers rang in her ears.

Eclipsetess made her horn glow, she then walked over to Solstice and placed her horn on her head, Azulia just gave a puzzling look at Eclipsetess. But she knew what Eclipsetess was doing, and she knew what to do..

As Eclipsetess placed her horn on Solstice's head, she used a sealing magic to seal the voices away, she knew this all to well for sealing magic, Azulia knew it too, though when she was done putting the seal for the voices away. It left a brand with the voices on it, Azulia just examined the mark before pulling up her book.

"Hm, did you use the sealing magic for the voices? Because it looks nothing like it." Azulia asked Eclipsetess, her book opened and showed the correct page, Eclipsetess was confused.

"Dear, your looking at the wrong one, your still young in the head. That means you think differently then anyone." Eclipsetess told Azulia, she then opened her book again as Azulia put her's on back, Solstice's book appeared and started to glow.

Eclipsetess had her book turn to a specific page, when she hit that page, she opened her wings. Azulia was shoved next to Eclipsetess because of a force, Solstice was the same. Though when Eclipsetess muttered the words "Telerportation, bring us to Namir, have us reunited once more." then a circle beneath started appearing and glowing.

Then without hesitation, the circle disappeared as the three girls teleported to Namir, and when they did the circle appeared behind Namir. Eclipsetess shoved Solstice towards Namir, Azulia ran over to him and Eclipsetess then closed her wings.

"It seems that my teleportation worked!" Eclipsetess happily said, she was happy, Azulia guessed that she could never teleport.

"Now, with my new ability, let's see if I can teleport us out of here!" Eclipsetess excited said, then the unfamiliar mare appeared, she was dressed up and she looked mad.

"Your not going anywhere! You four are just in time!" the mare said, she triggered Eclipsetess's overprotective side, Azulia just hid like a little foal.

"You have no right to say that towards a guardian!" Eclipsetess yelled, she brought out her wings, but the mare brought out some leathery wings, kinda like a dragon's wings.

"AHahahahah! Do you really think you can just leave so easily?! Me and my husband made this cave of torture for fun! Then we would let out the poor horse that we captured, of course." the mare said at the end, her voice was more distorted in a higher pitch and a lower pitch mixed into one. But not the end as it seemed her voice was normal at the end.

"I am a night guardian! Protector of night unicorns!" Eclipsetess yelled, then a giant fireball was launched at the four, Eclipsetess quickly got out a barrier, then she was knocked out as Azulia was.

The unfamiliar mare did the same thing with Solstice and Namir, she then dragged them back one by one to another cave this one different as it was furbished into a more luxurious case, though there were bars in front of the entrance where the four were piled into, though outside the liveable cave. The unfamiliar mare and her stallion waited outside the cave..

The stallion was sitting on a throne as the mare sat next to him, the mare big and her mane lushious, the stallion hard and cruel but also took some effort into putting his mane together..

     Solstice just laid there unable to do anything. The voices and the whispers she was hearing seemed to paralyze her in some way. Not that she could do much of anything anyway. She couldn't think or move, and it seemed like she didn't know where she was or even who was with her. The voices, the whispers, only grew louder and louder in her ears until they suddenly stopped. Solstice just hesitantly opened her eyes as she saw Eclipsetess as she fought back tears. 

     Solstice shakily stood up as she kept her head lowered. She said not a word. It was like torture. Solstice just wanted out of there. She didn't deserve any of this. She didn't want any of this. All she wanted was her brother and to get as far away from this place as she could. Solstice just looked up at Eclipsetess unsure of what to do. Her attention went elsewhere as she noticed her book appeared from who knows where. Though it was glowing. Solstice just looked at it a bit curiously before she put it on her back just as Azulia had. 

     Before Solstice could do anything, she was forced to stand beside Eclipsetess not that she minded. Solstice then looked down seeing a glowing circle start to form. She got a bit scared before she realized things went black for a quick second. Then she saw her brother, "Namir!" she said as she went to him not even noticing that Eclipsetess forced her to him. "Why didn't you come with us?" she asked not even noticing the pit feet from where they stood.

     Namir just stood almost motionless recovering some strength and energy before he even positioned himself to jump the pit a third time. That was until he saw something behind him as he turned around. "Woah take it easy Solstice," he said taking a few more steps away from the pit for good measure, "I had to make sure the serpent didn't follow you guys. I had to jump over this pit..." he said looking at it. Solstice did the same, but quickly looked away when she noticed she couldn't see the bottom. "The serpent fell in. Probably dead by now. I don't know just how far down it goes," he said making sure Solstice was still unharmed.

     That was when the mare showed herself. Namir had Solstice stand on his other side hiding her from this mare. "This is wrong! My sister has already been through enough!" he said snorting about to charge at the mare, but he didn't. He knew it would only make the situation worse for him and everyone else including Solstice. "We've done nothing to deserve this," he said looking the mare dead in the eye.

     Everything suddenly went black. Solstice wasn't sure how long she was out for, but when she did wake, she jolted awake. She quickly got up looking around. Things weren't as dark as they were, but she could at least see everything around her. This calmed her some more. Though she was too busy looking around that she didn't notice she walked into bars. "Ouch.." she muttered as she shook her head.

     Namir had already woken before Solstice did. Though he was too focused on trying to recover what happened to notice she had woken until he heard a noise. "Watch where your going..." he said quietly as he walked over and nuzzled her, "We'll get out of here soon..just hang in there, alright?" he said as Solstice just nodded. Then the two looked over seeing the mare and stallion..on thrones. Namir just laid his ears flat against his neck, "Who are you, and what do you want with us?" he asked one last time. 

"Oh? You don't know us? Are we forgotten myths? Legends~!?" the mare said, Eclipsetess then got up as she put her wings up then down, it seemed like she couldn't do anything, she knew she couldn't do anything.

Then Azulia got up and started looking at the mare and stallion, she pinned her ears but did not say anything as she walked up to Eclipsetess who was standing at where the bars were, Eclipsetess said nothing to her, this only rung suspicion for them..

"What are we gonna do?" Azulia whispered to Eclipsetess, "I do not know young one, but I will protect. I will protect friends. Family. My Assignment is more important." Eclipsetess said as she started to whisper, but at the end, she said aloud and stared at the mare and stallion.

"Hm, do they even know who we are? I know that we aren't in the book, not even a threat. But a nuisance!" the unfamiliar mare yelled at the end, she acounted with the stallion are nuisance's?

"Calm down Trickster, don't even do anything to these beauties yet, we still have Dragon Devil coming for a short visit." the stallion paused, "To claim his treasure that had ran away from him. Previously.." the stallion said, he must've been Carrion then.

Eclipsetess paused and realized that she was in a trap, if she hadn't known earlier then she would've been able to escape, so care, to protect her friends and family.. But now, she had made a grave mistake, she even realized who the two horses were..

"Carrion, leader of nothing, he's a prodigy for Dra. Trickster, Carrion's mate AND can trick anyone, including the god's themselves. Both are able to interact and create hard puzzles to escape, Trickster is known by her name, had been tricking ponies of all kinds since she learned how to use her magic at a young age. She was then banished alongside Carrion to become prodigies for the god's. But they soon fell to evil and become prodigies for Dra. Or Dragon Devil." Eclipsetess said, Trickster got up and was struting around as she now had Eclipsetess look at her.

"Your correct about everything, they must've told you a lot during your time as a guardian. But we're better then you. Now time for you to get.. Lost!" Trickster said, then the doors to the front entrance of the cave opened, the cave where Eclipsetess, Azulia, Solstice, and Namir stayed, could not see the horse.

But when the horse stood next to Trickster, Eclipsetess backed up as she shivered in fear, before her and everyone stood Dra, or Dragon Devil.. Lava did fall off of his body as his coat and body was now hard rock, and magma coursing through his body, Dra had no features of a pony that beared scars, no. He didn't bear scars because he couldn't die, he had a curse to forever live the way he did, and this affected his kingdom too.

Eclipsetess backed up more until Dra used his horn to force her to stand in front of him, his magic only had evil intentions, and evil plans, Eclipsetess tried to escape but Dra's magic was powerful.. Too powerful.. He was collecting his magic back again..

"So my sweet little treasure, tell me, you escaped and have friends~?" Dra asked Eclipsetess, she said no answer as Azulia tried to separate them, but she was thrown to the wall and knocked unconscious, Eclipsetess couldn't do anything. Because she was frightened to have Dra hurt her, to see what he would do right there and now.

"You may do what you please with these three, I have claimed my treasure back, and Eclipsetess.." Dra said, his eyes sharp and blacked out in the back, only fire-amber eyes and black pupils were seen, but Dra stared directly at Eclipsetess, making her shiver.

"Dare escape and you'll never see anyone again, you'll even see your friends get picked off, one by one by Trickster here, you won't be able to do anything!" Dra said, he then turned around as chained wrapped around Eclipsetess, she looked back at her friends before following behind Dra.

"Be safe, I know I won't, I'll stay his treasure forever.. Good bye.." Eclipsetess said, softly but loud enough for Solstice and Namir to hear, Trickster quickly shut the bar doors before locking them and putting magical, unbreakable, chains.

When Eclipsetess left with Dra, Trickster had looked at the three remaining horses in the cave, she then looked evily at Carrion, he had allowed Trickster to sell the two girls. He was keeping the stallion for a special surprise, Azulia and Solstice were being auctioned off to another herd. Forcefully..

"We'll find good homes for your sister and her other friend. Your staying with me, I have something special for you~" Carrion said, Azulia then woke back up and saw that three remained.

"Oh and Solstice, I presume? Your being sold to a very kind stallion, ha! I'm kidding, your being sold to a stallion who kept many mares, including the old ones, so be warn and prepare yourself for one heck of a time! You'll also be the stallion's treasure, meaning; he'll keep you until you leave for heaven, and you can't go back once your dead, your not special. You may look like it, but night unicorns are currently common. Your not special, only horses with pearlescent or rainbowic bodies are special now." Trickster said, Azulia just used her magic to push her away.

"Whatever, you'll be sorry for not being there for your guardian!" Trickster said, Azulia tried to use her magic to reach Trickster, but the magic only stopped at the bars and that was it.

     Namir just told Solstice to stand away and hide in case something happened. "Myths and Legends mean nothing to me," he snapped with a bit of a growl, "My sister does, however. Lay a hoof on her and your going to regret it." Namir may not be anything special with his dark dapple bay coat, but his eyes did glow a bright red as he spoke. His eyes only did so when his sister was in danger like they all currently were. "The two of you disgust me," he hissed.

     Solstice just stood behind the three of them. She looked at Eclipsetess seeing the concern and failure in her expression. She was about to ask about it, but she quickly shut her mouth knowing this was no where near the time to be asking questions. Instead Solstice just flicked her ears listening. Though she kept her wings practically glued to her sides. Not knowing if they would cause anything to happen to her since it appeared she was a alicorn when she really wasn't. 

     Solstice wasn't sure exactly what or even who she was at that point. She had both wings and a horn, but did that make her a alicorn even though the wings weren't permanent? After learning about how rare and valuable a alicorn could be, Solstice only feared for the worst at that point. She listened as Eclipsetess spoke before taking a second to glance at the mare and stallion that had trapped them.

     That was when someone else relieved themself. Solstice grew more frightened as she saw how much fear struck Eclipsetess to see who this third horse..or pony was. "Eclips-" Namir hushed her giving her a look he never gave her before. Somehow Solstice knew who this was. Dra. The evil stallion that Faith had informed her and the others about only earlier that day. At that point Solstice didn't even know what time or day it even was. All she knew is that she blacked out twice in these strange caverns.

     It wasn't until Dra had forcefully pulled Eclipsetess in front of him that Solstice leapt forward after her, but Namir only blocked her. He said nothing as he glanced at Eclipsetess. "But Namir...you have to help her!" she said not caring if Dra heard her or not. Though everyone did hear her. Namir only sighed, "My magic isn't strong enough. There's nothing me or Azulia can do..." he sighed hating what he had to tell her. Solstice just shook her head protesting, but despite Namir being happy to see Solstice wanting to fight back and save Eclipsetess, he couldn't allow it. Namir knew Dra would hurt her..or even kill her.

     Solstice's attention went to Azulia as she tried to do what Namir wouldn't let her. "Azulia!" she said running over to her as Dra tossed her at the wall. "Azulia...?" she muttered as she lightly nudged her realizing she had been knocked unconscious. Solstice didn't move away from Azulia as she looked at Dra as he spoke. She snorted allowing herself to spread her wings protectively, "She's not your pet! Wait until Faith hears about this!" she said not caring who she was talking to. She just got to a better place, and now it was being taken from her. 

     Namir just quickly turned to look at Solstice. Who was she? It was like he didn't recognize her. The Solstice he knew, could never say such things. Especially to someone like Dra. The most powerful and evil of stallions out there. Namir made sure to hush her as he went and stood in front of her blocking her from Dra's view. Namir just glanced at her, "Don't do anything like that again. You'll get killed," he said in a harsh voice. Never has he spoken to her in such ways, and it pained him but it had to be done, "Now put those wings away." Solstice just snorted stomping her hoof a bit as she folded her wings back to her sides.

     All of Solstice's attention went to Eclipsetess as she said her goodbyes. "No..Eclipsetess..." she said quietly. She trusted Eclipsetess most of those she meant that day, and she wasn't sure what to do without her...or anyone. Solstice just tried to run after Eclipsetess before she was completely out of sight. Though Solstice ran completely into the bars as they appeared again. It was with even force to completely knock the wind out of her.

     "Solstice!" Namir quickly ran over to her checking to see if she was alright. Though she struggled to breath a bit. Namir has never been so outraged before, "How do you sleep at night when you torture young souls?" he roared as he reared and hit the bars with his hooves. He looked over seeing Azulia had regained conscious. The stallion just put his muzzle on Solstice as she still seemed to struggle with regaining her breath.

     "How dare you sell my sister to a herd that is even more unforgiving then the herd she just left! She isn't a pet!" he yelled launching himself at the bars again. Namir wanted to go at Carrion and Trickster, but whatever he tried to do didn't work. Namir just looked this stallion dead in the eye, "I will do as wish me to if you let my sister and her friend go back to their herd. If she isn't special like you say she isn't then there is no point in torturing her anymore then she already has been."

     Namir just briefly looked down at Solstice as she tried to speak, but he hushed her once more, "Save your breath. You ran into the bars pretty hard..." it pained him to see her like she was, but there wasn't much he could do. The only thing he could do was try to give her the life she deserved, but he knew she was something special. He saw something in her that everyone else seemed to as well except this mare and stallion. 

     "If you do not then I shall never do anything you ask of me. I will fight you on everything no matter how much you torture me. I don't care if it kills me. Let my sister and her friend return to their herd. If you do I'll do as you wish." Solstice just heard what was being said, but even if she tried to protest she couldn't speak a word. She struggled getting oxygen to and from her lungs. 

     She just knew that whatever happened to her..if she was separated from Azulia, that she had to find a way to get into contact with Faith. It'd be the first thing she'd do if she got the chance. Solstice just didn't know how to exactly. It pained her even more when Trickster mentioned Eclipsetess. Solstice knew Eclipsetess kept something from her, but if she managed to somehow get to Faith, then she'd have to ask her. Until then, Solstice just laid unable to do anything. She was used to it, but this time she really couldn't do anything. 

Trickster bent her head to look at Solstice, "Hmph, she'll die soon anyways, there's no point in keeping the young mare to another stallion. Besides, the lead stallion that we scared off would never accept horses that are taken by us. We even tested it! He's just a stone, cold, betrayer." Trickster said, her voice was deep before she snuck a little towards the bar, she was trying to get into Namir's head with what she was doing.

"Trickster, help the young filly, I don't expect this atitude in bed." Carrion said, he moved around on his throne, like he was tired? It must've been night then, and Dra came in way too early to collect his treasure.

"I-" Trickster blushed and stood there, then she walked over to a shelf with lot's of things on it, lot's of jars, lot's of.. Posionous things, she must've dealt with black magic, the most deadliest magic ever, aside Dra's magic.

"Whatever, I just want to go out and capture again, I have new ideas and experiments waiting." Trickster said to Carrion, the stallion then got up and walked over to Trickster, he pushed her with his muzzle to push her on her side, Trickster just looked at him.. Angrily.

"What is your deal?! We're supposed to be evil, not good!" Trickster shouted, she then used her horn to cast a spell to have stairs appear then disappear.

Carrion then looked through the cabinets before finding the immortality jar, he looked at Solstice before walking over at the bars to where she was, he then quickly applied some to her face, then he used the whole jar all over her body..

Carrion sighed, "Sorry for my wife's atitude, she gets caught up in the moment before realizing that something is wrong, she was born with a rare mental disability that was found in her mother and grandmother, it's never going away." Carrion said, he looked sad, something was definately wrong.

He then looked at Azulia as she got up and wobbled to the bars before collasping onto the ground, he then looked at Solstice as the powder disappeared on her body, he guessed that the powder was absorbed into her body. He looked at Azulia before walking to her, he sighed before walking over to her.

He murmured as Azulia didn't move, he then copied the same powder that he gave to Solstice, and he did the samething with what he did with Solstice to Azulia, he then walked back over to the shelf before copying more.

"I only act tough so that Trickster agrees with me, I never agreed to have Dra take her, that was supposed to be Faith not Eclipsetess, so he'll do unspeakable things to her for not being Faith." Carrion said, he then turned around towards the Namir before giving him soft eyes.

"If you want to live, then I'll have to "fake" Trickster's selling with your sister and her friend, that's how I keep sibling's and friends together. I never break them apart, I may be evil, but Trickster is the most evilest one here in our cavern-like home. She only wants to be with Dra in his kingdom, so that's why Eclipsetess was taken. I would die alone just by Dra's magic, so I couldn't do anything if I could." Carrion said, Trickster hasn't came down the stairs for awhile, but Carrion didn't care.

"I'm the only one keeping you of anyone else here alive, I also deal with healing magic besides death and night magic, I used to be a night unicorn before Trickster turned me into how I felt when I was a young colt and she was a young filly, match made I guess. Cupid was evil just to be Dra's son and stuck me with the most evilest mare that could live, but was still known as Tricking Nuisance, every herd about her legend.. Terrifying.." Carrion said, he then showed up some wings as well, though the wings were black and feathery, the tips showed leather dragon-like wings at the tips, the tips also showed through a little bit.

"You know what I used to be, but now, I am a softie for healing magic, and having my original magic. Besides death magic that I'm learning about." Carrion added, he ran over to a cooking station and he began to cook.

Azulia then felt better and got up instantly as she smelt the food being cooked, she then started to drool and wanted to eat, but she was patient and waited..

"I'll be the first to try out the food that he gives us." Azulia said, she knew the type of powder that Carrion put on her, so she knew what to do.

     Namir didn't move. He was practically standing over his sister protectively. It pained him seeing Solstice how she was, and now it seemed everything depended on him. Namir wasn't much of a leader. He was more of a loner. He eyed Trickster as his eyes began to glow again, "Just give her a chance. She's young..." he said as his voice grew softer with every word. Was he really about to loose his sister? No. This couldn't be how things ended..could it? Namir just tried to keep those dreadful thoughts.

     "I would rather give her the chance to be back with the safety of that herd then believe any word you say." he said snapping at her as she neared him and Solstice. "Stay away from her," he hissed banging his hoof on the bars again. Namir knew she tried to do something with him, but it wasn't working. His attention then went to the stallion, Carrion. Had he heard him right, or was it just another trick?

     Namir eyed the stallion as he walked over to some shelves. When Carrion walked over, Namir stayed put until he realized that he truly wanted to save her. Namir just took a step or two back watching every movement he did while also watching Solstice, "Don't move. It'll only make it worse," he assured her as Carrion placed the powder on her. Namir then looked over at Azulia as she wobbled over, "You two do not know when you need to take it easy," he said shaking his head before making sure Azulia was alright after she collapsed.

     The stallion only sighed, "I don't care about my life. I care about her's. I've only lied to her just as much as everyone else. If you knew anything you'd sense there's something special about her...something that sets her apart from everyone." he said looking at Solstice with saddened eyes. It seemed she was breathing easier, and was resting. Though Namir didn't say much of anything else. Carrion may have saved Solstice, but Namir wasn't fully convinced he could trust him.

     He did however listen to what he had to say. Namir looked up at him at what he heard, "If Dra was after Faith...then why were we grabbed? How could he mistaken Eclipsetess from Faith? From what I know Faith tricked him.." Namir sighed as he looked down hesitantly asking, "Is there any way to get her back..? My sister has never trusted someone so much other then me before. Especially since she only met this herd earlier today..all I care about is her safety and happiness."

     Solstice ended up closing her eyes as it slowly got easier for her to breathe again. Suddenly she opened her eyes and looked around, "W-we have to get Eclipsetess back.." she said before Namir went back over to her, "Hush. You need to rest..we'll figure something out, but Dra took the wrong mare." he said glancing at Carrion. "Just stay off your hooves for now." he said nuzzling her.

As Carrion finished what he cooked, Azulia just walked over to where Solstice and Namir where, she kept eyeing the sweet dish and the dinner dish, Carrion just laughed gently and used his horn to have those.. Creatures serve him, he knew what it was like to almost lose someone, and he knew what it was like to lose a friend.

"I know how you both feel, for losing a friend and almost losing someone close to you, how did you think I was wanting more then one magic? I was the much sweeter legend AND myth, though the myth does make twists and turns that aren't real, they just twist my legend to make foals sleep more at night. Even night unicorns that grew out of their phases sometimes." Carrion said, as he carried a tray with condiments, the creatures from before were the dragon and the serpent, had he known what they fought and ran away from?

"Don't ask, just eat, you need your stength. And I'll have to check on Trickster once your done eating, you'll also have beds automatically given to you once your done eating, this cavern does have magic running through it. So it does have a brain after all." Carrion said, as he made some stairs appeared, Azulia chowed down on her plate and had finished as the dish had disappeared and reappeared in the sink at the cooking station.

"Wow, he wasn't wrong." Azulia said, her bed appeared behind her and she just jumped into it, she then instantly fell asleep to the soft cushions.

Then a deer came floating down towards Azulia, though she was asleep as the deer pushed the blanket on top of her as she just laid there, head on pillow and sleeping to the comfort,  the deer then laid down next to the bed as other animals that were kind and quiet had came down. Though a wolf pup did come down to help, the deer just brought the pup back to his mother and they disappeared..


Though for Eclipsetess, she was just brought to a chamber that was quite far away from Dra's bedroom, some of the butlers and servants did do their own thing, but they did help Eclipsetess get quickly used to everything..

Then Eclipsetess was looking around her bedroom as it was interesting to her as there was stars, constellations, so many handmade things for just one person. Then Eclipsetess realized that it wasn't for her as it was for another horse, she thought it was for Faith as Faith had the same room once Eclipsetess walked into it out of curiousity. Though she did ask Faith on why she had constellations instead of prayers.

"It was from someone, I'm not telling you who, but he always did call me his treasure." Faith said as she answered young Eclipsetess's question, Eclipsetess looked at a note that told her who it was for and who it was from, but she didn't want to peek into privacy.

She did start to sniff her room and look around and discover things, though she did put them away, if they were boring or if someone was coming into the room, but Eclipsetess then got tired and hopped into the handmade bed..

"Faith must've loved Dra secretly if she copied the room for fun or actually had a crush on him." Eclipsetess said to herself, she knew Dra would never love someone back, but she always did wonder why he was curious at why he kept Faith as some "treasure", probably to make other god's or old rivals jealous.

     Namir just hesitantly laid down beside Solstice to comfort her some more, "You'll get out of here soon..just rest until then.." he said in a soft and quiet voice. Even if he wasn't fully convinced if everything Carrion was saying was true, but he'd find a way out no matter what. He then just looked over at Azulia. He knew they needed to think of something, but he also knew the both of them needed to rest.

     Solstice just leaned against Namir as he laid beside her, "But what about Eclipsetess...?" she asked quietly as her voice still died off. She just ended up closing her eyes and fall somewhat fell asleep. Namir just sighed. There was nothing he could do about that, and it saddened him. He could tell just how much Solstice seemed to miss her. "You'll see her again..." he muttered before looking at Carrion pinning his ears slightly.

     "I don't think you quite understand what my sister has gone through since she came into this world. I had to lie to her saying our parents abandoned us when in reality I found them killed in the forest. How was I to tell a three day old filly that her parents were killed? She had just found the truth on that one before the two of you showed up. The last thing she needs is to be involved in all of this." Namir's voice was rude, and was only loud enough so that Carrion could hear, but quiet enough Solstice didn't wake.

     Namir didn't eat. He let Solstice eat instead. Softly and carefully, she nudged her to wake her. "You need to eat. You'll feel better if you do," he said softly. Solstice didn't say anything as she slowly ate. Afterwards, she just closed her eyes once more staying where she was. Namir just stayed up. He couldn't trust himself to fall asleep still not entirely sure what their situation was. If anything else where to happen, Namir wanted to be ready for it.

     Though he couldn't help but to think if Carrion meant what he said by not separating friends or family. If that were true, then there had to be something he could do to get Eclipsetess back. Right? There was only one way to find out, but that had to wait until Carrion returned..alone. Trickster was no doubt one that could not be trusted. If it weren't for Carrion, Namir very well could have lost his sister. Instead he just watched her rest. 

     "Soon you'll start learning how to use your magic...that way next time you have a way defend yourself..you were brave trying to save Eclipsetess, but you were foolish." Namir said quietly to her and himself. He wasn't sure if she heard him or not, but until anything else happened, Namir tried to think of a way out if it came to it. 

As Azulia woke up, she guessed it was the next morning since Solstice was asleep, though she did hear some hooves moving around upstairs, there was no sound of whinnies, neighs, or anything of the sort. She just guessed that it was Trickster, she was always the quiet one, the quiet one to.. Get into someone's head and torture them from the inside, but it could've aslo been Carrion but she wasn't so sure about that.

Instead she just walked up next to Solstice and Namir, laying beside them as she kept her eyes from upstairs, she always wondered how stairs are able to disappear, but she realized they were invisible stairs. Stairs that can go invisible and not be felt, but then..

The stairs appeared as it was to be grand, the rocky lines smoothed out to be more perfect for walking up and down when summoned, Azulia just kept her gaze as Carrion came down the steps, he looked to be wearing a black cloak. Probably to hide himself, but to also be captured and taken prisoner once sought.

"Carrion!" Azulia whispered, she could tell that he was trying to silent, so she whispered to him.

"Shh, we can't wake up Trickster, or else.." Carrion whispered quietly to her, he knew Namir stayed up as the stallion was protective of Solstice.

"What're you trying to do?" Azulia whispered in a asking tone, he just gave her a look, she knew what he was doing, but she decided to ask anyways.

"I'm trying to break you all out, before Trickster wakes up, so be quiet. Then we'll leave with as much noise as we want after I break you all out." Carrion whispered to Azulia, she just looked around to make sure that Trickster wasn't anywhere near up yet.

When Carrion got to the end of the stairs, he looked around the top of the second floor, then he opened the bars to let the three of them out, Azulia just took the chance as she waited by the door. She could now spread her wings out and stretch to her delight, she looked at the door and began inspecting it.

"Take whatever you need for the trip to Dra's kingdom, it'll be a long while from Golden Valley to Isle of Darkness, but don't worry. If you don't get comfortable with Isle of Darkness you won't be turned into a pony similar to Dra, but he's a big horse when he's home, but if you stay at Isle of Darkness like getting comfortable then the king himself turns you into a horse who is a molten, lava, rock encrusted horse. Terribly uncomfortable and you'll regret it if you choose to stay forever." Carrion said, he sounded like he's been through it before.

"You sound like you've been through it before, has this happened before?" Azulia asked, Carrion looked at her with sad eyes.

"Many times before, all my family has been turned into a Molten Pony, or a Lava Pony, or even a pony that's like Dra, they serve him until he gets bored with them and decides to.. Make them go to heaven by force, my sibling's haven't been old enough to realize that they were next.. Now I am the last horse of my kind.. Forever to regret going to Isle of Darkness.." Carrion said, it looks like he's been through it and accepted it many times, he probably had a bigger family then before.

"What does Dra do if he took Eclipsetess hostile?" Azulia asked, it might've pained her to talk about Eclipsetess, she was no doubt showing it one her face and how she's talking about it in body language.

"If he didn't start torturing her, then he's using Faith's old room to make the torture start, to make her how Faith felt about Dra. There's a couple letters that were sent to me by her majesty, Faith herself to keep the letters that she does not want to show and only wants to keep hidden." Carrion said, he walked over to the door and opened it, Azulia's horn glowed within seconds and she walked out, feeling the fresh air but the shortest ground.

She was no doubt, taken to a mountain's side, and they had made home there, Carrion did like the view as he smiled. He probably was happy here as Azulia sees that he's smiling happily, she was happy and smiled gratefully at him.

"What does Faith want to keep hidden? Doesn't the legend says that she developed no feelings towards Dra?" Azulia asked Carrion, he pushed a little to walk, he waited as Solstice and Namir came out as well and started walking with them.

"That's the thing, Faith does have feelings, hidden ones. She's a goddess sure, but the time with Dra, boy you could tell that she followed his every command, a little lovesick birdie following her mate's every command, and besides. Faith twisted the legend herself to keep her feelings towards an evil creature hidden, so that Dra wouldn't realise that the legend was twisted into a fake lie. But everyone knows; that Dra always knows what is happening, even if he's sleeping in his lava pool of bed, and Eclipsetess on a soft coushion bed for her but it's actually Faith's room. Constellations, stars, Faith used to be a guardian for night unicorns as well. Before turning into the goddess that she is now." Carrion said, they were half way down the mountain by the time Carrion stopped talking.

"So, Faith has feelings, but chose to keep them secret from a horse that knows everything? Man what a life, did Faith even love where she was?" Azulia asked again, this time puzzled.

"Why yes, I'm just returning the letters that she gave to me back to her room, so we're forced to black mail Dra with secret love letters from Faith, technically they're more of Love Memos, memos that are turned by feelings and are powerful from the feeling of love. But Dra never experienced love from a goddess that secretly loved him, so he does not care. But he does want to put them back where they belong, so I'm gonna black mail him into a trade with Eclipsetess. Came up with this idea before bed." Carrion said, they then made it to the safety of the ground and Azulia opened her wings and unveiled the color of purple ridges on the edge to where the boney parts of the wings are.

"Ah, I see that your a protector of friendship, you'll soon learn how to work your magic. Friendship is rather powerful, so entrust it to someone that you, Solstice, and Eclipsetess could trust. But you do need to exchange your friendship magic to collect someone else's, you'll lose your magic but not your origin magic, so you'll still have your original magic, but the one entrusted with the power of friendship is more powerful enough to stop Dra. But not completely, he's cursed with immortality and his own curse as well." Carrion said as he pointed out the several regions of Azulia's wings, Azulia looked at Solstice and she exchanged her new magic with Solstice's hidden magic.

"There, you'll be more powerful and I can unlock your hidden magic as well, don't worry, I already unlocked my new magic to give to you. So you'll instantly change a bit, like the purple arches that were on my wings to be on yours, but you'll be given the decision or either having an armour suit or a more goddess clothing style. Kinda like Eclipsetess's, so you'll hear a voice that'll guide you through the process of everything. But you still have your origin magic, so that won't change!" Azulia yold Solstice, Eclipsetess would've been happy to see Solstice getting used to more of a powerful state of magic.


But as for Eclipsetess, she was out of her bed, and roaming the halls until Dra chained her up and forced her to come down into the seats of the thrones as it was in front of an arena, a battling arena, Eclipsetess stared at the arena before being forced to sit down in Faith's chair and forced to watch as the chains made her watch.

"My dear treasure would love to see something like this happen, but she's gone from my grasp, and you'll be mine now. So your being forced into my dear treasure's place now, you'll get used to everything soon." Dra told Eclipsetess, then after a couple rounds of brawling, she was then forced into an actual throne room now.

"My dear loved getting attention when she wasn't about threatening to leave, oh I would love to see her in pain if I ever saw her again.." Dra said to himself, Eclipsetess's heart ran faster once she heard that.

"W-wait, Dra doesn't want Faith back?! Was he tracking me down into her place? Was I newer and more valueable to him?" Azulia said to herself, her thoughts didn't escape through her mouth, but she did fear Dra as he could tell that he was sucking her fear out.

"Don't think you'll escape from me, I made this kingdom more fortified and more heavily guarded, so you'll be stuck her until you die!" Dra shouted a bit evily, he then got up and looked Eclipsetess in the eyes.

"YOU ARE MINE FOREVR! MY LITTLE SWEET TREASURE~!!" Dra said madly, Eclipsetess got scared and used her wings to try and fly away from him, but Dra let her fly around in the air, he put smoke into the air for anything like this to happen.

So Eclipsetess was forced to calm down when she inhaled the smoke through her lungs, she then flew back down and Dra chained her up once more, this time he put her back into bed as he made sure to teleport away once he locked the room. Eclipsetess just fell asleep for how long the smoke stayed in her lungs..

     By the time Azulia woke, Namir had started to struggle with staying awake. He didn't know what time or even what day it was. Due to this, he wasn't sure about just how long he had been awake. Namir didn't say anything as Azulia laid down beside him and Solstice except that his sister had been out for awhile. Solstice did wake a couple times, but Namir had only ushered her to sleep. He knew she needed it more then anything after the adventure that had just begun for them all. 

     Namir had shook his head trying to keep himself up when he heard Azulia whisper. He looked over seeing Carrion in a black cloak. He listened to him speak. It seemed as though Carrion truly did want to help them. With that, Namir carefully and lightly nudged Solstice until she woke, "Time to get up sis. We're getting out here," he whispered as he had slowly stood up. Namir quietly chuckled seeing as how Solstice didn't want to get up, "Come on sleepy head. We can't stay here," he said quietly as he nudged her some more.

     Solstice just grumbled as she slowly opened her eyes letting out a yawn. She looked around remembering most of everything that happened. Including Dra taking Eclipsetess. She missed her. A lot. With the help of Namir, Solstice stood up. She looked around before quietly asking, "Where are we going?" Solstice just looked at Namir and Carrion, but neither of them gave her a answer. 

     Namir just shook his head, "Just stay quiet and don't ask too many questions. Once we're out of here we'll figure something out," he whispered nudging her as Carrion opened the bars. Solstice just nodded as she walked beside her brother. Though she wasn't as close to him as she normally was. Namir just looked up at Carrion, "We won't. I've spent most days traveling around the Isles. I've been in some nasty places...I'll be sure we won't be there long enough to get comfortable there." he said nudging Solstice again as she just looked at him, "There is no time to stop and asking questions sister. We must keep moving."

     Solstice just listened to the conversation Azulia and Carrion were having. She looked at her brother about to ask if they really were going to Dra's kingdom, but he gave her a look so she didn't. Instead she just looked down with a bit of a gulp. She had tried to stand up to him, but she knew she couldn't do it a second time. If she did, she knew he would more then likely kill her. She was already lucky to still be there..alive. 

     She knew Trickster wanted her to die, but Carrion didn't. He had saved her when he didn't need to. Azulia as well. Solstice just looked at him as he spoke with Azulia listening to them both. "We have to get Eclipsetess back...before he.." Solstice couldn't finish her sentence as she teared up a bit. Namir sighed, "Don't think those thoughts. We have to stay positive..she can handle herself. Until then you need to get better with your flying at least." he said looking up, "But wait until we're far enough from here."

     Solstice nodded, but she just looked at Carrion and Azulia. "You do think Faith would help us? If what your saying is true..and she does having feelings for....you know who..then would she?" she asked the both of them as she looked up at them. Namir just looked at her shaking his head. He didn't know, but Carrion gave them some information that could help get Eclipsetess back. 

     When they got to the ground Solstice felt more alive. Namir let her stray a bit more. Though Solstice just stayed with the group, just not glued to her brother's side. Solstice did however spread her wings out and flapped them slightly to stretch them. After doing that, she folded them back to her sides before looking at Azulia's. She had forgotten Eclipsetess gave her wings before everything went haywire. 

     Azulia's wings were beautiful with the purple, and they were larger then her own. Solstice's wings were just large enough to fit her body, and matched her coat. It wasn't long until she turned her attention to Carrion. She was confused by what he was saying about Azulia's magic. The book. Solstice completely forgot about the book. She wasn't even close to the section about the different kinds of magic and different kinds of spells. If only she got to that part then she wouldn't be so confused about it. It only proved that she had no knowledge about magic. All she knew was the history of the Isles.

     That was when Azulia transferred her magic to Solstice. Instantly, Solstice felt different. For once in her life she could feel magic flowing through her veins. She looked at herself seeing some changes. Her wings slightly got bigger, and she saw the same purple ridges on her wings that were on Azulia's. Solstice didn't know what to think. She looked at Namir, but he only nodded. Solstice wasn't entirely sure why, so she looked at Carrion and Azulia.

     "Why..would you give your magic to me..? Even with my own magic I can't even do the simplest of spells that foals can master before they even reach a year old. What even am I at this point? Who..am I? I just found out that my parents were killed..then Dra took..Eclipsetess.." Solstice had to stop herself. There was nothing she could do. Solstice couldn't save Eclipsetess from Dra's grasp. 

     Seconds later Solstice remembered what Carrion had said before Azulia transferred her magic to her. "Are you saying...that I'm supposed to...defeat Dra..? What does wearing armor or goddess-like clothing make me..? I'm just a unicorn. At least I thought I was.." Solstice just looked at her brother, Azulia, and Carrion wanting answers. She didn't understand any of this. "Who will be guiding me? I don't understand any of this." she said as she just looked down a tear or two coming to her eyes. 
     
     Namir couldn't imagine what Solstice was thinking or what she even was going through because of everything that happened, but he just walked up to her and nuzzled her. "The only thing I know is that this adventure isn't over...we all with have to keep our guard up. At this point anything could happen.
