The Isles of Nowhere | Rp (COMPLETED)

     Solstice snorted. Her eyes started glowing more. She was mad. Mad that Dra was back. She never trusted him, but why would she after everything? She knew his "niceness" was just a fake act. "I know many that would be happy to hear that you're dead. Including me." she snapped. She shouldn't even be doing this. Her body still needed time to heal and rest from the night before, but Solstice had no choice.

     "You've hurt these Isles enough. You've hurt me enough. Killing everyone I love and cared for right in front of me!" she snapped angrily. Solstice just circled around Dra keeping a close eye on him. She couldn't do the same spell she did to defeat him the first time. Partly because the first time she didn't even know what she was doing. She still didn't, but she also didn't want to put the herds in danger.

     Who knew what could happen if she were to somehow work up that spell. Solstice just flew circles around him watching him as she thought of a better way to get rid of him, but she couldn't think of anything else. There was nothing she could do this time. Eventually she just stopped circling him as she looked at him dead in the eye, "Why are you really here? I know you aren't here to apologize! I've learned enough from you is that you want things to end your way. Your here for me.." she said.

     Orion just watched even if he shouldn't have, but he didn't know what to do. Before he knew it, Atrium had fallen right in front of him and Nysa. He quickly nudged the filly as they both ran back some, but Orion kept her close to him. Though she was already sticking to his side like glue. Orion just didn't know what to do except keep Nysa at his side. Everything was fine one moment, then there was all of this. What was he going to do?

     Though Nysa saw the mare and was frightened even more. Her body shaking, and it was hard for her to move when her father nudged her, but she somehow did. Orion just ended up placing his muzzle on her hoping his touch would just settle her down, but the filly was just so terrified. Though Orion was thankful that Eclipsetess came over to help him with her. Orion did look at Eclipsetess though with worried eyes...he was worried about Solstice..

     Solstice did look over seeing what was happening there on the ground. She wanted to go over..she wanted to be there, but she couldn't. Though at that moment she was vulnerable. In that moment she forgot about Dra. Her daughter was more important to her at that moment, and Solstice was to the point she didn't know what to do. She had nothing she could do. She was vulnerable, and she may have not realized it until it was too late...

"Hm, heheh.. Ahahah! Weaklings.." Dragon Devil whispered, he still laughed before a hidden creature came from behind a mountain, but Faith made sure that the mountains weren't containing anything, and that she wasn't going to make it, partly because she over to Solstice but the creature already ate Dra..

"Oh heavenly gates.. This is terrible..!" Faith said, she then noticed something as she nudged Solstice hard with her side as a chain struck Faith, right on the chest, though the chains were different as it latched around and covered Faith as she looked like a mad horse with that one robe on with the lock..

The chains acted like tentacles as black inky goo started to cover the hard metal, it was now a tatic as Dra's non beating here was now beating, it was large and it was in the creature's chest, it was visible as it started beating but it also had white wings visible inside the inky black abyss..

Though the creature roared as it mouth became nothing, and spikes portruded on it's back, tattered, beaten, ripped, and shredded devil wings sprouted from it's back along with some spikes darting the wing bone, Faith was still floating on the chains wrapped aorund her as the black inky chain was connected to the creature's back.

Dragon Devil then laughed from within the creature's body, making echoes of his mockery to everyone, his level of of power was unmatched, but then Solstice's statue of her began moving, and then it broke out it's chambered trap as it jumped onto the Isle of the Mountains, the creature was about to eat Solstice from sneaking until it's back was broken and crushed by Solstice's statue..

Even Dooly, Christiane, and Zuki appeared once more, this time the friendly three headed monster used it's fins to get up on land and battle, Solstice's statue just it's stoney hooves to smash the creatures back as it got up with immensible strength. Zuki roared in a high pitched sound as she bit down and hard as she took off the creature's- head, *strawberry syrup* dripping down as *meat* did as well.

Dooly and Christiane were frightened but soon joined in as the creature's body still got up with much force applied to it, then it's head melted into goo and reattached itself as it got up on two feet and used it's claws as hands as it started scratching at the statue but left no dent..

"Well this is certainly entertaining!" Eclipsetess said, she took a break as she teleported Solstice to Orion and Nysa, Dra and the creature's merge was certainly something shocking, but Eclipsetess took her break and even teleported herself over to Solstice and Orion to help with Nysa, but she then trotted over to Azulia as Minette ran up to Eclipsetess, she was still crying as Eclipsetess just hugged her until she was calm.

     Solstice just looked down below looking at Nysa. She lost her focus, and was stuck in her head for a moment until she heard Dra's laugh. How could she have lost focus when Dra was right there!? Though she quickly brought her focus back on Dra. Ignoring everyone else. She couldn't loose focus again. Solstice couldn't afford to loose focus again. She was lucky enough that Dra hadn't targeted Nysa yet..

     Though Solstice looked when another horrifying creature came from the mountain, but before she even realized it, the creature had ate Dra. She just froze slightly until something or someone pushed her to the side with force. Solstice lost her balance a bit, but she quickly regained it shaking her head a bit before she looked to see Faith covered in chains, "Faith!" she yelled. 

     Solstice now had no idea at what there was to do. How to get Faith free. How to defeat this creature and Dra. She couldn't. She was already weakening even without fighting. She hadn't flown in forever, and her body was already tired and exhausted. "What am I going to do..?" she mumbled to herself as she observed everything. Every little thing she tried observing, but she couldn't find a way to stop this.

     What soon took her by surprise was her statue. How was it..alive!? Though before she knew it, she had to start dodging what was going on around her. Solstice hardly even noticed Dolly, Christiane, and Zuki. Her mind was everywhere, and she just didn't know what to do. Before she even realized it, Eclipsetess had teleported her to Orion and Nysa. Namir then came over.

     Though Solstice only looked down panting as her wings just touched the ground. She was quiet for some time thinking before she barely looked up at them for a moment, "I can't do anything....if I do the same spell I did the last time to defeat Dra..it could harm the herds. I can't put anyone in that kind of danger, but they can't defeat that thing either.." she said out of breath still as she looked over at the creature, her statue, and their friend..

     She then looked back at everyone..even Nysa. "I have to get Dra to let Faith go and take me instead..." she said before looking down. Namir and Orion just looked at each other before they both protested. Solstice just snapped, "I have no other choice! Faith can do something about this, but I can't. In order for that to happen I need to get whatever it is to take me instead."

     Solstice just snorted before she flapped her wings once more going back up. She just looked at the creature. She knew Dra was alive inside of it. Like he was controlling it. After a moment, she just hollered. "Dra!" she yelled ignoring everything else, "Let Faith go!" she demanded. "Take me instead! I know you'd rather have me then her!" she yelled once more. Her eyes, horn, and necklace stopped glowing. Most of the time she couldn't control it, but this time she got it all to stop....

"OoOoHhHh? A pEwNy MaRe deccciding to sssshhhhooowwww up?" Dra's voice echoed in the creature, it brought it's head down as Dra's eyes were in the creature, he could clearly see as the creature's teeth were open in a smile, but it then was growling at Solstice. The lips were moving to symbolize the growling..

"Hah! I don't need a weakling, I more or so have a stronger goddess in my possessions, but- if you say so!" Dra said, another chain then started doing the samething that it got when Faith was chained, the same style and the same way, but Dragon Devil then laughed.

"Hmhmhm, hahaha! I have two goddesses, who else is nexxxxttt?" Dra said, the creature licked it's lips as it scanned Dra's eyes until Nysa was chosen, then Dra made the creature smile at Solstice, he was going to be devious and make a crime but he already made several of them already.

"Time to die youngling~!" Dra told Nysa in a very happy way, a chain was going directly for Nysa as it dodged everything, but as it made it's way through a heart, the chain had gotten Minette, and started wrapping around until the filly looked at Nysa..

"Stay safe niece!" Minette told Nysa, she was then dragged into the air before hanging upside down this time, Faith looked up as she had no energy, Eclipsetess then hissed madly, but Azulia was forced to hold her back..

Eclipsetess then bucked Azulia as she flew up into the sky, Solstice's statue then stood up on it's two stoney hooves and began to unsheath a sword as it stuck the sword high into the sky, Eclipsetess was so mad that began punching one of Dra's eyes as her hooves were growing sharp.

The pale colt that traumatized Eclipsetess used it's black inky goo magic and stuck a landing on the creature's nose, Dra was confused but he was covered in inky goo himself, Eclipsetess still kept punching until the pale colt turned into one of the creature's itself..

This time.. The god's, the herds, and the whole Isle had a creature for an ally, but it was bigger as the colt's hooves were pointed into claws and it stood up on two sets of hoofed claws until him and the statue struck a landing on the creatures back and head, Dra was stabbed in half..

But the creature began to move weirdly as Dra was launched into the air before landing down in two splits but he was able to get up and reattach himself, the statue cut off Dra's wings as he began running around, Minette was let go as Eclipsetess saved her quickly, Faith was let go as she barely flew but Eclipsetess teleported her and Minette to Oceanus's healing pool..

And Solstice was let go as Eclipsetess saved her by using her back as she landed down, Nature immediately got to work on healing Solstice, using one of the many nests, and she began cooking and crafting raspberry pancakes, the new recipe of pancakes should heal a horse so much that they can feel refreshed even if they are sore.

Eclipsetess stuck by Solstice's side as Minette was teleported back with some bandages as Minette ate a pancake from Nature, even Faith was brought back, but she was forced to eat a raspberry pancake as she had no energy left and she was beyond tired.

"Rest on a nest, we have our own little ally now, it's over.." Nature said, the creature that layed on the ground then exploded into group as the pieces merged together again after finding each other, but Nature collected the small goopy pile by using a bottle.

As for their new ally, the creature turned back into the pale colt as Nature hugged him, even his sister ran to him and hugged him as Nature laughed with joy, the three acted like a reunited family, but Nature took the two into the herd as everyone looked at the colt without nothing to say to him.

Scorn was counting to himself as Grey Cloud was huddling her two foals up together, they were shaking from the experience and also tired, but Nature walked up to Scorn as the two young horses were behind Nature, Scorn hugged them as he nuzzled them both.

"Do.. We.. Relax now.." Eclipsetess asked in a worried state, all the creatures werre defeated, but one was forgotten.. And that one creature was Dra but Solstice was fed a raspberry pancake, even if she didn't want it, she was forced to have it by Nature.

     Solstice just stayed there flapping her wings with her head held high. She was as terrified as she had ever been, but she did her best not to show it. She tried not back down as the creature growled and showed it's teeth. This wasn't the time. Instead she looked in the creature's or Dra's eyes. Though she was still weakening. Starting to tire each time she flapped her wings, but she kept herself up. She kept her head up.

     She only closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them once more just as the chains wrapped around her body. Namir just opened his wings, "NOO!" he yelled about to go to her, but Orion had pulled on his tail. Namir looked back at him angry in his eyes, but Orion only gave him a different look. Though Namir looked down, "It's happening all over again.." he mumbled as he was falling apart. 

     Orion then looked up again scared and hurting as he saw Solstice. Though he quickly realized Nysa was now being targeted. Orion was trying to think, but before he could, Minette had jumped in front of Nysa before he could do anything. Namir tried stopping her, but he couldn't, "Minette!" Nysa still didn't know what was going on, but every part of her was terrified. She just wanted her mother..

     Though Solstice couldn't do anything as Dra targeted her daughter. She could hardly move, and she was exhausted. Did she make the right choice? Didn't matter at the time. At that point she didn't even know what was happening around her. No one did. Sure they were watching it, but they were trying to process what was going on. Though none of them knew what to do.

     Solstice was starting to struggle with keeping her eyes open before she felt the chains slipping off of her. She couldn't do anything, but she felt her body hit something, but soon enough she hardly recognized that she was back on the ground. Nysa tried running over, but Orion couldn't stop her. Instead he just trotted over, "Nysa wait...your mother needs to rest.." he tried to say, but his tone was hurt, and he couldn't stop her..

     Though Solstice was tired, exhausted, and sore. Parts of her body showed marks from the chains, but surprisingly she was still awake. Barely, but she was awake. She just didn't really respond to things quickly because her mind was still everywhere. She did hesitantly eat the pancake, but then she looked up seeing Nysa, "Oh Nysa..." she said almost inaubile as she nuzzled the filly and kept her close... 

"Hm, seems like your happy now.. I can tell by your body, but just enjoy the moment." Eclipsetess said, she made sure that Solstice was healing as her body was being wrapped gently by the vines as they were going to the wounds that were still fresh.

"Hm?" Eclipsetess heard the statue step on something that bursted into a dark black soul, but Death came down and the soul was forced up as the clouds darkened around it when the soul even went near the clouds, but Death had gotten it as everything returned to normal. Hopefully for years..

Eclipsetess just returned her to Solstice as she layed back down next to her, she then clicked the chains as she noticed Faith was falling asleep in them, the chains were wrapping her, making her tired? Eclipsetess just looked at Faith as she was resting on a vine patch, her body sore and hurting as the vines were doing they're thing.

"Wait..  Was Dragon Devil and the creature only merging for energy? I saw that Faith was beginning to be tired even though you shouldn't be tired in chains, that depends on food." Eclipsetess said, she pointed out a good fact, and Faith was full of energy, but then she turned into a sleepy mare.

"I also saw that when Minette was chained, I was soo made but I'm thankful to have saw that so I could go for the eye's, being blind won't make you see, and thus you can't feel something- unless that's backwards anatomy.." Eclipsetess said, she looked around before getting up as she was ruining the mood.. But she did make Minette stay with Solstice since she didn't want the mood to be lowered anymore then it was.

Minette looked up tiredly as she just rested her head as she watched Eclipsetess walk away, Minette didn't care as she just put her head back down, she was beyond tired for a foal and just wanted rest and relaxtion now, but the statue did walk back to it's spot where it watched the fire and let it burn itself by the hazard.

But everyone hoped that it was now time for relaxtion for a good few years, and within those years Minette will be 6 I think same as Apollo, Nysa will be 3- I think? Mostly because she was born yesterday, but the pale colt and his older sister would be older, the young mare would be 4 and her younger brother 3..

     Solstice had just looked up at Eclipsetess slightly before she looked back down. Nysa had just laid down by her mother, but she was still completely terrified. Solstice just nuzzled her a bit, but it wasn't much. She wasn't even sure how she was awake, but she was. Though Solstice did look up at the statue..her statue. "I thought the fire took it...." she said quietly, "How was it even alive..?"

     Though Solstice just tiredly laid her head down. Nysa just looked at her mother seeing the vines and wounds. She wasn't sure what exactly they all were, but she knew they weren't good. Solstice ended up closing her eyes though letting out a small sigh. She was still processing everything that just happened, but even she wasn't entirely sure. She was sure that she did need sleep though.

     She hadn't really been listening to Eclipsetess, but she did fall asleep with Nysa right there beside her. Namir ended up walking over nuzzling them all, "We can't be sure, but right now let's let them rest. They need it..well I'm sure everyone does..." he said as he did give his sister and everyone else some space. Though he just looked at the statue with the most confused look. It wasn't a dream was it?

     Orion ended up walking over and laying down next to Solstice. He didn't say a word, but it was clear he was hurting. For a moment he thought he lost her and Nysa. Though he just stayed right there with them. Moon and the others just stood in the background watching as they said nothing. Apollo ended up hesitantly walking over a bit, "Are they going to be okay...?" he asked nervously as he was just a bit frightened still.

     Seemed like they all wanted to ask the question, but Apollo was the only one that did ask. Everyone was shooken up, but they were all primarily quiet. Though everyone just looked at each other. Apollo looked at his mom for a second, "Is...he..gone for good?" he asked hesitantly again. Moon just stepped up to him telling him to just let them rest, but he wanted to know.."Mom...I want to know..." he said stepping away from her...

"He's gone for good, a soul going up to the Judging Court will be decided to stay in a bottle or become an angel, but since his soul was completely black with white specks, it's fair to note that he'll be infintely tortured as a soul, feeling everything that he'd done wrong. And more chains will added to him." Death said as he answered Apollo's question, he was a quick one to talk as he looked up, his hood revealed some of Death's boney forehead, and his boney muzzle and nose, his scythe wasn't on his back, weird..

"Don't worry, I'll always make sure that if someone is bad- they'll get everything coming to them, I even visit and add on to notes for people, in Hades' realm since some angels do go there as well.. The ones turned good are always going to be bad.. the lighter seal brown mare with purple magic- the alicorn- the one that's also asking question, she's showing signs of evil pouring out. I suggest that you all watch her and her behaviour, it's like she's a magma pony instead of a normal alicorn mare.." Death pointed out about Eclipsetess, she did always hiss and fought aggressively, something that's not anywhere close to Eclipsetess's personality.

"I'll also stick around since Faith- the ruler is sleeping, and I don't want to disturb her with her being like this, even I- Death itself, has to fear a God too. Not everyone is built without emotions- unless you had a very horrible foalhood, then I can sympathize.." Death spoke aloud, he had a terrible foalhood when growing up? Then how did he become Death itself? And how was he even a horse as well- never mind about the species..

Eclipsetess did spot Death pointing at her earlier, and she was walking over since she didn't seem to be pointed at, another thing not in Eclipsetess's personality, she also seemed to be a little mad as she walked over and stared at Death's eyeholes, something not included too..

"What do you need miss?" Death asked Eclipsetess, she just stared at him until she broke away from the staring and walked back over to Solstice, Minette just looked around since she was still a little tired, but in all she layed her head back down when Eclipsetess walked over and decided to lay next to Minette's side.

     Apollo just looked at the stallion listening to what he said trying to ignore his strange appearance. He just looked over at Solstice and the others as the stallion spoke. Moon though just stood next to her son..she was still protective of him even since he wasn't so much of a colt anymore. Though she figured Solstice would be happy to hear this news, but she didn't say anything.

     Apollo nodded understanding the stallion, but he looked over at Eclipsetess when he pointed her out, "Eclipsetess...? She can fight rough sometimes, but she's saved some of us countless times...she always puts herself first...even if it kills her.." Moon said speaking before Apollo could. He just snorted a bit and rolled his eyes. He was starting to get suspicious of his mother though...

     Though Moon didn't say anything until Death mentioned a bad foalhood, "Okay...Apollo let's go.." she said nudging him away a bit forcefully which made Apollo curious...a little too curious.. Moon just gave him a look. One he knew which meant not to argue with her. He just snorted and looked down walking away. At that point he knew she was keeping something from him..

     Once they were by themselves Apollo just turned around and faced Moon, "Why did you push me away from that stallion when he mentioned a bad foalhood?" he asked in demanding way. "Does it have anything to do with my father? I don't know anything about him! Who was he? Why don't you ever talk about him? I deserve to know, don't I?" he said putting his mother in a strange position..

     Moon was a bit taken back at first. Surely this wasn't the time for this? He was still young. Moon tried to think of a way to avoid this, but she knew she couldn't. Eventually she sighed, "Your father wasn't a good stallion. He led the herd that we are from..Isis..Khepri..Solstice..Namir..and some of the other mares in our current herd.." she began as she sat down..Namir watching from a distance.

     "His name was Phoenix.." Apollo immediately recognized the name, but Moon went on, "He didn't care about any of us. Not even me..I was forced to become his mate. Over time the mares in the herd started to leave. He started to grow mad. Punishing us if he caught us escaping to a better life...and then I had you..." she said with a pause as she had to take a breath or two.

     "You were born early..a little too early causing you to be small and weak..your father didn't accept you.." she paused a third time, "He..hurt you...and me..I had yet to name you because I didn't think you would pull through. Phoenix wouldn't let the herd help..eventually Phoenix challenged Scorn..and lost before the fight even begun..no one's seen him since." she said.

     Moon just sighed, "Solstice came..brought us to where the herd stayed, and at that point..I almost lost you. If it weren't for Eclipsetess and Nature. You were healed just in time..." she said looking down almost in tears, "I never told you because I didn't want you to turn into your father. He hurt all of us..he never viewed you as his son...only as a sickly colt...I failed to give him what he wanted, and I was punished."

     Apollo just looked down staying silent for awhile. He didn't say anything, but he ended up starting to run away..it was clear he was mad. Though Namir watched and listened to the whole conversation, and he just stopped Apollo in his tracks spreading out his wings, "Your not going anywhere. Your mother was trying to protect you, but now is not the time to run off. You really think you want to be alone after what just happened?" Apollo only looked down and shook his head, "That's what I thought."

A mare got curious as to what Namir was going to do to Apollo, which made her act like a curious little foal, though another horse caught her attention as she starting going that way, but the curious to what Namir was doing kept her to where she stood as the rest unfolded.

The other horse was trying to get the curious mares attention to leave Namir and the foal alone, but the other horse stood next to the mare as the horse then began watching what was happening, but she did lose focus and went to what spot she was eating grass from, though the curious mare just stood where she was.

Death was off laying next to Faith to keep her guarded, as he was like a bodyguard to her, she was sleeping while Death kept an eye on her as he was serious and knew what to pay certain attention too, he did briefly take off his hood since it was bet to be hot in a cloak, even if it had holes.

But he was like any other Death, except his skulled eyes didn't show anything like light and his jaw was connected to his top maw, some how he could talk in some way, but he did put his hood up when some horses spotted his hood off, and he felt embarrassed but he stayed where he was.

Death did teleport his scythe and two sickles, making sure they were clean and sharp to purge the land of evil creatures alongside Faith who bottles up the wounded creatures, but then some horses walked up as Death growled at them showing no fear.

"What? We just wanted to get to know you better then being a complete intimadating ally." the first mare said, she and her friend sat down as Death allowed it, but he noticed how both of them were acting and ordered them both away, he didn't like them anyways.

"What?! But you said-" Death looked the mare in the eyes, "NOW!" he yelled the two mares ran off as he sat down and sighed, he never liked mares that seemed "more interested" then what they were supposed to be interested in, making Death deciding if they should go see Hades..

     Apollo only snorted, "She lied to me Namir!" he said with a stomp of his hoof, "What do you expect me to do? I clearly can't run off and be alone. I don't even want to see her right now!" Moon was standing with her head hung low when she heard what her son had said. She looked up at him before looking back down tearing up as Isis slowly walked over to her to comfort her.

     Namir's eyes glowed the same red color they did, but only for a moment, "Your mother never lied to you. She kept anything about your father away from you because she didn't want you to turn out like him. I fought your father once. All he cared about was having a large herd with valuable mares. Poor fighter really. Phoenix broke that herd, but your mother was looking out for you. Either way your father is gone."

     Though Namir looked over seeing a couple mares getting curious, and his eyes just glowed red for a moment to tell them to get lost before he looked seeing Isis comforting Moon. He sighed, "You know I lied to my sister? About our parents and everything else...I did it to protect her much like your mother is doing. Don't be mad at her. Your her only son, and she sacrificed herself to keep you."

     After that Namir just brought his wings back to his sides and walked over to Moon who was in tears. Apollo just looked down and snorted again, but he glanced at Namir who was walking over to his mother. The colt just turned away to find a quiet spot within the herd to be alone. Moon though was thankful Namir was able to keep Apollo in the herd. She didn't want him out there alone.

     Orion was resting beside Solstice and Nysa. He thought he really lost them, but his mind was still clouded with all of the recent events. He just wanted Solstice to wake up, but he knew she needed to rest and that she was probably going to be asleep for awhile. Neither of them woke when Death yelled at some mares, but Orion just looked at him before looking at the herd with a saddened and worried expression on his face.

Death sighed, but he then gotten up when Faith looked up at him, she was clearly tired but Death only layed back down since Faith seemed to be scooting closer to him as he started getting curious of her, but he then turned his attention away to the sun.

Though some foals were running from the playground as other foals seemed to just watched as they followed the two that were playing recklessly, two foals dodging mares and others, some just watching as they don't want to get into trouble unlike the two reckless foals.

When the two foals began getting near Solstice, Orion, Nysa and Faith, Death was beginning to show worry when he focused more on the foals then anything else, but one of the foals began preparing to jump over Orion, Solstice, and Nysa all together like a deer jumping over a log.

Don't little foal.. We don't need to upset anyone.. Death thought, Faith looked up as Death just made her rest her head more then she should, but that was when the preparing foals began running as he jumped but it wasn't enough and Death stood up as magic stopped the foal..

And that dark gray magic on the foal belonged to Death as he stood up with fear in those skeleton eyes, but his hood was down as his skull and spine-neck showed, he was horrifying for an ally but his caringness to stop the foal from jumping onto anyone showed he cared..

Faith looked up when Death stood up, he stopped a foal from jumping on anyone, but the colt did look around until he spotted Death staring at him, but the staring was worry instead of being intimadating as the colt was then floated over to Death as he checked the foal over, but at a distance.

"I don't get it, you don't let anyone touch you without a threat, but you let Faith go near you. What's up with that?" the colt asked Death, he knew Death was busy checking the foal over, so it was good timing and a great question to have asked Death.

"Because only god's can touch an undead horse, if you were a mortal horse, then you would die by a simple touch. Demi-god's are the exact way with god's and goddesses. That's why I'm careful around anyone and everyone. I don't want you to die but I know I have to check you, so I use my magic that I keep hidden to good use, but a horn does appear when I use it." Death answered the colt's question, he was done checking the foal over as the colt looked up at him with curiousness.

"Is that why your also a softie? I act like that stallion Eclipsetess usually hangs with, I think they're mates like mother says they are, they show how a good relationship works with the right conditions." the colt asked Death, Death was befuddled or perplexed/confused by what the colt said, Faith began laughing at the colt's second question.

"Man he got you good! Even if he was this young, he still asked a question if your mean or not!" Faith laughed, Death just gave a shocked face in his own way as he nudged the colt with his magic back to his mother who was standing there, looking at the colt as he seemed normal.

"Just go to your mother and be a good little foal will you?" Death asked the colt, the colt nodded and soon, he and his mother left as the colt's friend looked at Death with a happy smile as he ran back to his friend, Faith looked at Death like he would be a good father.

"Don't even give me that idea, it was YOUR IDEA to get me out of Hades' realm and be good to those who had died and fallen, so I don't want to see that look on your face." Death shouted a bit at Faith, she rolled on her back and giggled, Death looked away and turned away, he then realized what he said.

"NO ONE HEARD ME SAY THAT!" Death added on, he didn't want to be killed again for doing nothing but to help Faith, and help anyone else, even if he was horrifyingly intimadating to everyone, but he was good like what the colt asked as Faith laughed at it.

"You know the colt's right, right?" Faith told Death, she asked him in a sweet way as Death nodded and slightly looked at Faith before looking away, Faith just layed her head down as Death would make her stay where she was anyways..

     Orion hadn't been able to sleep, but he stayed with the mare he loved and his daughter. Always. Instead he just laid his head on the ground resting his eyes. It was quiet. Though every now and then Orion had a look around as he also went to look over Solstice. The vines seemed to be doing their job since the wounds were healing only a bit slowly. Orion just sighed and softly groomed her side a bit as she slept.

     Though he didn't noticed the foals. Solstice seemed to have opened her eyes a bit, but she just closed them again slightly readjusting her body. Orion just looked at her with a saddened expression as he nuzzled her softly, "Don't stay up...you need as much rest as you can get," he said quietly. He only got a small groan in response, but he just smiled a bit before he looked up to see a foal about to jump over them..

     Before Orion could even think about it, Death had stopped the foal as he let out a small sigh of relief. He did watch the foal and Death and listen in on their little conversation though. Solstice was just partly awake, but she didn't even want to open her eyes. Not for a second. Namir was still with Isis and Moon trying to comfort her as he heard what the foal said, "Hey! I'm not soft!" he said in retaliation. 

     Moon just looked at him with a bit of a look, "I'd have to disagree..." she said with a small smirk on her face, "I remember when you were a colt. Eclipsetess has made you softer..." she said as her and Isis giggled a bit before Isis took her leave before Namir could even react. He only looked at the two thinking to himself for a moment, but he didn't know to say at first.

     "Why do I even spend time with you two?" he said giving them both a look before he went to walk around. Though Nysa seemed to wake up a bit, but Orion just managed to get her to sleep again. He knew she needed to sleep a bit more, but he also didn't want her to wake up her mother. Orion just really didn't even know what to do or what to think. He just made sure he was there for both of them when they needed it.

Death looked around before laying his head down and making sure himself was comfortable, Faith on the other hand was moving around more as Death woke up from several naps to even see what Faith was doing as it worried him sometimes, but it was nothing as it's just Faith moving around to be comfortable.

Then Death looked around when it was very dark at night, everyone was asleep, but Faith was up as Eclipsetess was limping over in the dark, Death looked at the limping mare as she was limp-walking over to Faith as she stood where she was and even where Death layed as Faith brought Eclipsetess to sleep next to Death.

"And why would I do that? I'm your bodyguard Faith, not your friend's bodyguard." Death told Faith in a whisper, but she looked at him and served a point as Faith bodyguarded her friends, so Death was supposed to guard Eclipsetess and Solstice's family.

"Alright you beat me to that.." Death admitted in a whisper, Faith giggled before nuzzling him sweetly as her wings went silent and she flew into the sky, Death looked at Eclipsetess who was already resting on Death as tired bags formed under Eclipsetess's eyes.

Why did I become friends with a goddess? Death thought, but he just refocused himself as Eclipsetess was resting and Death already had his energy filled back up, but he made a promise to Faith. And so, he stayed where he was as he watched over Solstice's family and Eclipsetess.

Minette did come running over to lay down next to Eclipsetess as the foal greeted Death politely, he then allowed Minette to lay down and sleep next to her mother, Death then watched the foal as he looked back up into the sky as a sigh came out of that skull of his.

     Everything seemed to get more quiet as the sun set and as the moon rose. Solstice was fully asleep again, but she felt the moon as it rose. Almost like with each night she was more connected with it. Orion still couldn't sleep. Not after the day they all had. He just made sure Solstice and Nysa got their sleep, but it wasn't long before he couldn't keep his eyes open as he too fell asleep.

     Namir spent the rest of the day watching over the herd. He made sure Apollo stayed in his sight while he also watched his sister and them from a distance. He let Eclipsetess and Minette get their rest knowing they needed it, so he didn't want to disturb them. Instead he ended up falling asleep while on his hooves as his wings touched the ground. He was completely relaxed.

     Moon had laid down and looked over at Apollo before she looked down. Though she started to tear up a bit again. He had been avoiding her for the rest of the day, and had already laid down by himself avoiding everyone. She just laid her head down and closed her eyes hoping for a better tomorrow. That or for her son to forgive her. She had no choice to tell him..he wasn't old enough to know for her liking, but there was no avoiding it any longer.

     Though it was a quiet night. Solstice seemed to wake up as soon as the sun touched her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned shaking her mane a bit before she looked seeing Nysa and Orion asleep on both sides of her. She had a faint smile as she looked around seeing most of everyone still asleep, but she noticed Eclipsetess and Minette with Death. Solstice figured Faith had already left.

     Solstice then looked at her body as it was sore. She had some bruises, but other then that she seemed to be healed. Though the vines were still on her body it seemed. Not that she cared really. Solstice just stayed put, and softly laid her head on Orion's back not wanting to wake him. Surprisingly Nysa was even still asleep, but she figured it wouldn't be for long.
