The Isles of Nowhere | Rp (COMPLETED)

     Nysa was having fun with Marrow and Minette, and she was really enjoying herself. She seemed to be growing more fond of Marrow as well. Though Nysa was never really with any of the colts. Like King, Blizzard, or Apollo. Nysa looked over at Eclipsetess just as the others had. She looked at Marrow before she trotted after her where Minette stood. "I wonder why she made it." Nysa said curiously as she titled her head to the side some.

    Though she looked at them, "Maybe it's for someone else? There's a number of horses it could be for. Or maybe she's just trying something new?" Nysa said unsure before she looked at Marrow, "Okay!" she said before looking at Minette as she nudged her. Nysa giggled and reared up a bit as her front hooves went on Minette's back. She was happy. Though Nysa nibbled on Minette's mane a bit happily.

     Moon was laying down close to the outskirts of the herd. She was one of the mares that went on the search last night, but she just spent that morning resting. She was no longer in her younger days, but she wasn't entirely old either. Though she just watched the foals playing a bit before she looked at the Isle she called home. She was just thinking. Thinking about her past before she stood up and walked around the herd some.

     Apollo though was just running around with his wings out. Same hyper colt he has always been. Though he almost ran into one of the mares, but he managed to go around her before he came to a stop in front of Nysa and Minette. "What are you two doing?" he asked a bit hyper like he always was. Though Nysa looked at him and stopped playing as she just looked down.

"Just tussling some more, what about you?" Minette asked Apollo, she did notice that Nysa had her head down.. She was probably nervous with Apollo.

"Hey no need to get nervous Nysa, I'm here- right here, I'll always be." Minette told Nysa sweetly and gently, she wanted to sound sweet so that Nysa wasn't nervous or- potential scared with Apollo.

Though Minette looked back over at Marrow before looking at Apollo as she refocused to him, Marrow came back over as she seemed to have dragged King as Blizzard bounced his way as he seemed to like bouncing behind Marrow and King, Minette laughed as King wanted to be let go instead of dragged somewhere else.

"Well.." Minette said as she tried to make things interesting, Blizzard just rolled his eyes before scratching an itch on where his three little black dots were on his right side of his bum.

"Yeah this was a terrible idea to bring these two dumb dumbs over here.." Marrow said as she looked at Blizzard who was rolling around in the grass, then Marrow looked at King who was just pouting as Marrow let go of King as he stood up on his legs.

"So who's the new colt Minette? We know that you've been around him since you two were the same age, we take great details into things." Marrow asked Minette, Minette blushed in embarrassment as she never realized that other foals could be interested in such a thing.

"Um, well he's Apollo! He's been a really good friend!" Minette told Marrow as the other two colts were joining in the conversation.

"But if I could list him as a favorite, he'd be below Nysa.. Even though I've been around him the longest- besides Nysa, I'd still list him as third as mom takes the cake for being the first favorite." Minette said, she blushed again this time while talking and not hiding it.

"Oh so he's a "really great play buddy" huh?" Marrow teased Minette, Minette started to protest against that but she just accepted it and held Nysa as she cuddled her, Marrow giggled as Minette was embarrassing herself in front of Apollo.

Though Blizzard glared at Apollo as he looked back at Minette and smiled with pure joy, almost like Blizzard was jealous of Apollo, maybe he wanted Minette to be with him and their group, alongside Nysa if she wanted too.. Colts, but Minette did catch Blizzard's glare and gave him her death glare.

"No getting jealous of my best friend, Blizzard, sure he may be another colt but I know him more then you do, so don't even try me." Minette defended Apollo, she knew what she was doing as Blizzard backed down and apologized as King just smiled happily.

"Apollo why don't you, me, and Nysa just talk and hang out? Away from Blizzard." Minette asked Apollo, she still had Nysa in her arms, though Blizzard was surprised as Marrow and King looked at him as he wanted to go but didn't intend on it with Apollo.

"Lover's boy." Marrow teased Blizzard, as he started chasing Marrow around as King was chasing after Blizzard as the three moved away from the other three.

     Apollo just stretched his wings some, "Just running around the herd like always. I do it so much my mom is just annoyed with it. Though haven't really learned to fly completely yet." he said with a small snort, "I'm close to getting it I know that!" he said sitting down as he glanced at Nysa for a moment. He was never really around Nysa, but he looked at her with an odd curious look.

     Though Nysa just looked at Minette and nodded as a small smile came across her face. She then looked over seeing Marrow coming back over with King and Blizzard. She just sat down and flicked her ears as she listened to the others. Though she couldn't help but to admire her new necklace...she knew it was important and special, but she didn't know just how important it was. How much her mother trusted her to have it and care for it.

     Nysa did agree with Marrow a bit about bringing the two colts over, but Nysa just looked at Apollo a bit. Apollo snorted a bit, "I'm not new. I've been in this herd my whole life...well no...most of my life.." he said looking down as he got a bit confused there for a second. Nysa got a bit curious about what he meant by that, but she just kept quiet and listened. Well she may have gotten a bit distracted here and there.

     Apollo only rolled his eyes a bit though before he looked over noticing the glare Blizzard gave him. He snorted pinning his ears a bit, "We've known each other since the day we had to leave our home..well not Minette, but the rest of us had. Plus we're in the same herd." he snorted. He didn't know why Blizzard was always giving him those looks, but Apollo sure didn't like it. He didn't deserve them either.

     Nysa looked at Apollo, "What do you mean by that? This is our home...right...?" she asked. Apollo just looked at her realizing what he said, but he just reassured her by saying that this Isle was their home before he looked at Minette and nodded seeming to like the idea. Though he let the two fillies go first as he gave Blizzard one last look before he caught up with them.

Minette looked at Nysa as she found a pretty good spot to just stretch since just walking around can get stale for a foal or two, but Minette also took the time to analyze her feathers before Apollo caught up as she also fiddled with the feathers before plucking some off as more feathers quickly regrew.

Minette then looked around before sneezing from something as Minette then got up and stood around as the quiet was very peaceful and most horses were now munching on the grass or moving to do so, Minette then noticed Eclipsetess as she was trailing after something, most likely an animal of some type as Nature was always around. She was just underground.

But Minette then kept paying attention as Nature appeared when said creature wrapped around quickly like a soft version of fire and not on actual fire, Eclipsetess even stopped when Nature stood in front of the creature and kept it safe when Eclipsetess backed away.

"Now I'm interested in the creature.." Minette said to herself, she watched Eclipsetess trot away to a spot to continue grazing while Nature picked up the furry fiery-like creature from its nape and had set it down.

Though the little red-orange furball quickly clambered back up on Nature as the orange critter showed in the sunlight as it looked more like fire but Nature only laughed as she called the red-orange critter a fox. Now Minette was curious of the fox even more.

But Azulia then trotted up to Nature and said hello to the little fox that now was sitting on Nature's back as it scratched an ear, Minette then refocused on what was happening in her world and her life at the moment.


But.. Azulia was now talking with Nature as the fox jumped down and hid in the grass as Azulia just smiled and the critter then clambered up on Azulia's back like what a squirrel would do except the critter had more experience on the ground.

"This little fox ONLY eats mice/mouse, meaning he doesn't eat horses- foxes are too small to take on a horse, and they are dignified as a dog, but they are easily pets from being born in many various ways, but this little fox here is called a Tod as stated for male and he looks like a mini-fluffy version of fire- as they should." Nature lectured Azulia, Azulia smiled in a nervous manner but she did focus on the fox as he jumped onto the ground and his fur was hidden- except for a few hairs here and there.

     Nysa ran ahead slightly, but she was just her playful and happy self. Though she noticed a small butterfly and paid no attention to Minette or Apollo. Instead she just focused on the butterfly and followed it a bit, but she didn't go too far from Apollo and Minette. Nysa didn't pay much attention to anything else either, but she was just having a good time. Like she was never lost that previous night.

     Apollo on the other hoof just walked behind the two silently..which was odd for him, but he stopped once he was somewhat beside Minette. Though he just laid down and rolled around in the soft grass before he got up and shook off the access grass and dirt that got on his coat before he stretched his brown wings some. Apollo just watched Nysa a bit with a confused look..well he wasn't used to being around her really. Maybe he thought she was a little..odd?

     Though Nysa eventually looked away from the butterfly when she noticed something red from the corner of her eye. When she looked over, she saw the fox. She perked up some more and watched the fox curiously before she realized a mare had appeared. Nysa was always quite curious of everything...like her mother when Solstice was that age. Though Nysa just flicked her ears not too sure about who Nature was, but before long she couldn't help but to check out the creature as she quickly trotted over curiously getting closer to it.

     Solstice had flown off to the beach, but she just landed softly in the soft sand decided to just walk along the shore. It was peaceful, and she just needed a moment to think. How Orion could second guess her decision she wasn't sure, but she didn't like that he disagreed with her. Solstice just sighed though, "It's not his fault I suppose..." she mumbled to herself before she stopped walking and looked up at the morning blue sky.

     "Oh mother..." she said softly before she looked down once more, "I don't know what I'm doing...if I'm doing what's best for Nysa..." she said with a sigh. Though what Solstice didn't know was that Orion followed after her..which was something he normally didn't do. Orion just wasn't going to let her fly off like that, but he took his time and saw her in the distance before long.

     "Solstice..your doing what's right..Nysa needs you more then she does me, but your doing everything a mother should. You spent hours looking for her yesterday...I know my mother wouldn't have..." he said looking down some. Solstice looking at him confused, "My parents just wanted me to know as much magic as they wanted me to know...it was...overwhelming..I only had an interest for books.." he said looking at her.

     "Eventually I heard about you...I wanted to know if this story was true...if the mare was real...if he was gone.." he paused with a small smile as the two nuzzled, "Told my parents about it, but they insisted I continued working on learning magic...that night..I just ran away. It was for the best, but there's times I miss them...just prefer not to talk about them. Besides I've never really been a fan of magic, and I have you and Nysa and the herd..though I'm convinced your brother will never like me.."

     Solstice listened and leaned into him softly, "Well...at least you had parents that loved you...they just want you to succeed...which you have.." she said softly before she giggled, "You know how protective he is..I'm afraid it won't go away, but you'll have to stand up for yourself at some point...don't let him win." Solstice said before she smiled and nipped as she turned and started trotting away. Orion gave her a look before he went after her as the two went running back to the herd playing like foals..like they always did. Foals at heart.

Nature looked at Nysa, when she was watching Tod move around to be seemingly playful as a little fox, but even Tod looked up at Nysa when she walked over, though Tod could see the curiosity in Nysa's eyes and then the male fox walked around Nysa as he was also curious of her.

"Well seems like we need daycare if anyone has the special way." Nature spoke about, but Azulia just shook her head and rolled her eyes away from Nature, but she also looked at Nysa and Tod.

Minette was looking and watching Nysa with sheer protectiveness, Tod was seen as a threat if he tried anything, but he seemed to nice and playful to be the dangerous little critter he was supposed to be, even Tod knew that he can't be his wild self when in fact he could have little critter friends still healing.

"At least we have some wildlife about in the now lush and beautiful-forrested Isle of the Mountains." Azulia spoke out, Nature nodded as wildlife was seeming to be enjoying the more accessible water down below if any land critter wanted to drink as it was nearby.

"At least I didn't put much forest on the sandy shore, that would have taken away the beauty abit, but would have made it even more beautiful to the more generations that come." Nature told Azulia, it seemed like the two mares were absolutely buddy-buddy with each other, might have been that the two mares love to talk about.

Minette was still watching but also looking at Apollo as well, making sure that he was also okay too, but then Minette dunked her head down when her tiny little forelock began itching, making her roll onto her back and started rolling around in the grass and dirt..

Before long Eclipsetess trotted up to Minette as she watched Minette scratch her head with the ground, and the grass being so delicate it even made Minette itch herself more, but she stood up when she realized that her mother was next to her and watching her.

"Always silly when you need to itch huh? Don't worry, I'll pluck off whatever is making you itch." Eclipsetess sighed at Minette, Eclipsetess did find whatever was making Minette itch and took it off, but it did hurt Minette a tiny bit as it stung but itched too.

"Ah, a new bug for Nature to examine! It does seem like that mare does move around the Isle, but also has knowledge off it, so she may even be leaving the Isle entiretity when underground to keep being updated on what to call our new critters here and there that are popping up in the vast meadow Nature has created." Eclipsetess said in a lecture, Minette just smiled but hid the fact that she was gonna cry when the bug was pulled off her.

"Now I pray that the bug didn't plant any babies, or else I'll have Nature eradicate the species off of our Isle for now." Eclipsetess told Minette, Minette watched that Eclipsetess summoned a tiny jar and trapped the insect inside it for now before being summoned back to where the jar was being kept at.

Eclipsetess did give Minette a cheek kiss as the filly then began wiping the kiss with her hoof, then Eclipsetess trotted over to Nature as she summoned the jar when Nature took the bug and began examining it, though Eclipsetess did notice Tod the fox roaming around playfully with Nysa.

     Nysa didn't pay too much attention to Azulia or even Nature. She was just fixated on the fox. The color she got, the more hesitant she was, but her curiosity got the best of her. Nysa didn't even know that this creature could pose as a threat to her. Maybe not to the herd, but she was the youngest and smallest in the herd. Though Nysa just flicked her tail around and nickered happily as she reared a bit when Tod circled around her a bit. 

     Though Nysa momentarily looked up at Nature confused by what she meant by the special way. Nysa just quickly brought her focus back to Tod. Apollo was just sitting over by Minette as he watched Nysa for a bit before he looked at Minette a bit confused, but he said nothing. Instead he just sat there and watched the herd. Maybe even rolling around again only this time it was for the fun of it.

     Solstice and Orion were just acting like foals as they ran back to the herd..almost as if they were racing, but they were surely enjoying themselves. Solstice even spread out her wings some, but Orion had managed to get ahead of her. Though just as they returned to the herd, Solstice flew up a bit and tackled him. Both of them went tumbling, but they were both giggling whether or not everyone was watching them.

     Namir had went to the marketplace for a minute, and he had just made his way back to the herd when he saw the two, but he just dismissed it and went to go do his own thing. It seemed he was a bit paranoid and spent less time with the herd. Almost like how he used to be before Solstice joined the herd. Maybe he wasn't just fully convinced that things would remain how they were. Happy and worry free.

     Solstice got up giggling as Orion did the same, "Now that wasn't a very formal way to act for a goddess," Orion teased before he bowed, "Your....g-goddessness...?" he said a bit confused on his words, but Solstice only played along. Nysa eventually looked over when she saw her parents. She was a bit confused on what they were doing, but she quickly brought her attention back to Tod.

     Though Solstice just grinned, "Oh don't you give me that." she said nipping him a bit before she couldn't help but to laugh at him a bit. Though she just decided to play along for a small bit, "Alright alright. That's enough goofing around for now.." she said before she nipped him again before she quickly trotted off over to Nysa and the others. "Well it looks like you made a friend Nysa...been awhile since I've seen a fox."

     Apollo looked at Eclipsetess as she came over and helped Minette before she left. "I hardly see my mom anymore.." he said looking over where Moon was, "She just lays down on the outskirts of the herd most days. I just go and do my own thing." he said before looking back at Minette, "Now that I think about it, she isn't as social as she used to be." Though it was just Moon slowly getting older. Wasn't anything to be worried about, but it was just normal. 

That was when Tod yipped, it sounded high pitched and close to a chihuahua, Nature and Azulia were surprised by Tod's yip but he was probably doing his yip because of Nysa was interested in a play-ready fox that was really friendly, and seemed to have more of a puppy-type energy instead of actual fox energy.

Nature and Azulia then laughed as Tod was then running around Nysa, though Nature then began documenting Tod's behaviour as she had seen other fox's be different to each other, and sometimes extrememly different at kit age too, though that was the past and now was the future.

Minette looked at Apollo before looking at the group that was forming now and probably again, though Eclipsetess waited outside of the group since it seemed more lively and didn't seem to be needing interruptions that can be gross, but Eclipsetess went to graze somewhere nearby for the time being.

"Hm.." Minette was trying to think of something, but she accidentally stuck out her tongue when thinking really hard that she didn't ralize until she did realize that something was going on, but either way, Minette just rolled her tongue back inside her mouth and began thinking normally.

That was until a second fox jumped out and this one seemed to be brighter then Tod, and seemed to act more female, so it was clear that a vixen fox came out when she saw Tod trying to play with a foal, but the vixen was very aware of the big creatures and seemed to have sheathed her claws out on accident.

"Oh! Well here's Vixen, didn't think that a female fox would come out. I thought she was tending to her new den.. Hm. Guess I was wrong again." Nature said, she also summoned a clipboard as a quil feathered was dripping some type of ink as Nature wrote down her wrong's and rights when she guessed.

Vixen however, looked also different to Tod by the face as he had normal green eyes whilst Vixen had both blue and green, similar to Azulia but they were lighter for Vixen and Tod, though when Nature sniffed Vixen's pelt she somehow took down an illusion as Vixen was white and had black markings on her white pelt, but she still had her light blue and green eyes.

"Thought you'd get away with an Illusion Barrier, huh?" Nature asked the female fox, Vixen stepped up and nuzzled Nature when Nature lowered her head as she expected it from a friendly fox just like Tod's personality.

"Though if Nysa was to say; play with Vixen, she would need Tod as Vixen is like a normal fox with strangers: Protective because of top predators, but she and Tod are smart like every other fox: they know that we are herbaviours but we have strong legs, so Vixen's just scared with how she came out. But she's very sweet when you get to know her, but Nysa would need to stay away from this Vixen- for just awhile, because of Tod." Nature spoke about, Vixen then looked at Nysa she was very interesting to say the least, no wonder why Tod was interested in her; because of her markings is curious to the eye.

"And there goes another one, see Azulia? Nysa does have the special way!" Nature nudged Azulia, Azulia nodded as to what Nature said, so Nature was talking about Nysa's markings and how she can attract animal's curiosities with her markings, no wonder why Nature spoke about it like that.

"Yes yes, everyone is interested Nysa's markings, but I think Vixen was also looking for Tod, since they seem Yin-Yang about it- speaking of Yin-Yang, that's how interesting Nysa is to animals: She's an interesting eye and deserves to be recognize by animals, but she can also make friends with them. But not similar how your calling animals though and keeping head check of them." Azulia told Nature, then it turned into another lecture.. Lot's of lectures to say the least.. Lot of them.

     Nysa was still playing with Tod and seemed to really be enjoying herself. Though she paused momentarily when he yipped. She had never heard something like it before, but she just whinnied happily. Nysa just pranced around a bit before Tod began to ran around her. She was still curious of him and his fire like fur, but eventually she looked over when Solstice trotted over. 

     She smiled and turned to her mom for a minute or two, "You've seen one before?" she asked curiously before she looked over seeing Orion decided to trot over to see what was going on. Solstice looked over at Orion then back at Nysa as she nodded. Though Nysa looked down a bit, "I guess...I did make a friend...I was just curious of what he was..I haven't seen anything with coloring like that before."

     Solstice just smiled and nuzzled her, "Once yes, but that was a long time ago." she said before she looked at Tod. His fur did look like fire which made Solstice think of the fire not so long ago, but she quickly ignored the memories. Instead she just smiled, "Go on play. Seems like he likes you." she said softly before she she looked at Azulia and Nature as Nysa went back to playing with Tod.

     At least until a second fox came over. Nysa noticed and looked up seeing the other fox. "Another fox..? How many are there..?" Nysa asked curiously as she looked at Nature before she looked at Vixen curiously as she cocked her head to the side some. Though Nysa was confused on how Vixen changed colors when Nature touched her. "Illusion barrier..? Is that magic?" she asked.

     Solstice and Orion just smiled, "Yes Nysa. There is all kinds of magic. So many it would be nearly impossible to know them all." she said before she looked at Nature as her and Nysa listened carefully. "Either way they are wild animals. Even if they are friendly you should be careful Nysa. Foxes are predators, but they don't attack horses normally. I wouldn't want you getting hurt when no one is around."

     Nysa nodded understanding her mother before they looked at Nature confused. Orion too. "The special way? What are you talking about?" Solstice asked confused by what she meant. Nysa looked at them just as confused, but Solstice asked before she could. Instead Nysa just sat down and listened occasionally glancing at the foxes. Solstice never heard of it, and she was now curious but what the special way was as they listened to Azulia.

     "That doesn't make much sense though...sure I have many questions about her markings, but she has my moons..only white. I noticed that they glow at night too....I've tried to search for something about her odd markings, but found nothing. Even Orion found nothing in his books." Solstice said as Orion nodded. "How do her markings interest animals? They're more night related." Solstice was just confused and unsure what this meant.

      At least until a thought hit her, "Wait...haven't you noticed that some of the foals have been born with odd markings? Raven, Esmeray, Nysa, and even Minette has a odd marking or two. That can't be a coincidence...right..?" she asked unsure if the others noticed or not. Nysa just sat there confused now more then ever. She didn't understand what they were talking about, but she was only a little over a month old anyways.

"Hey yeah, that is true, but I just dismissed the thought of the markings not being a coincidence. But now that you really mention it yeah.. I've even seen Minette's marking on her bum fade in and out sometimes, though it seems more frequent now but I don't think Minette noticed her new marking at least not yet. Which is very strange actually." Azulia perked up as soon as Nature perked up as well, though Azulia could tell that Eclipsetess also noticed Minette's new marking by how she's acting more around her.

"It's like the markings are more shrouded in mystery, and heck! I'm supposed to know! I mean my notes could be archived in the Heavens God Realm.." Nature spoke a little soft, Azulia was confused by what Nature said at the end and wanted to know what the God Realm was.

"What's the God Realm? Anything special about?" Azulia asked Nature in a curious but of a bit demanding voice at the end, but also a tiny bit respectful in a way.

"Oh its where god's and goddesses are allowed to use the Library that Grey Cloud allowed/had Orion's new role into, but there's a separate library now so Grey Cloud's library isn't connected anymore, but it does contain archived notes- unless the god's moved them into the God Realm library.. But that's an IF they actually did, most god's I knew were really forgetful, so I don't think Faith would forget easily nor her friends/newer god's." Nature told Azulia, it seemed that she had more fond knowledge in her previous life to remember that.

"But its also where god's and goddesses rule when god's fly up to the clouds even when pegasi and alicorns do it as well, like Eclipsetess usually says from her books and her sayings "God's teleport to the Heavens, whilst pegasi and alicorns just fly through the clouds normally."." Nature recited one of Eclipsetess's sayings that she always usually says, so its good to remember morals quite perfectly from her.

"Hm, yeah.. That is true of Eclipsetess to say that always, almost, and whenever she can to teach us more. She's like a legitmate goddess that was reborn into a sweet mare, and one to befriend a mare so powerful but also one to learn from her mistakes, death is imenent. But its good to learn while you can, no matter the hardship. Life and skills find a way. And you can hone that skill into something greater. Like when-" Azulia paused as she was gonna remark when Solstice blasted Dra from his battle arena and from his first and last fight and life, but Nature knew that Azulia wasn't gonna remark that part. As its too hard on Solstice and to reimagine that.

"Well no matter, we can learn from mistakes whether or not we get our karma, and like Eclipsetess used to say as a foal "You can fight and still live on! You just gotta try harder and achieve your dreams! Whether or not you feel like you can, because you CAN achieve your dreams YOUR way!!"." Nature remarked Eclipsetess's foal saying, Eclipsetess lifted her head up as she was embarrassed when she dropped some grass and looked around before blushing.

     Solstice just glanced over at Minette before looking at Azulia and Nature. Though she mainly looked at Azulia, "Remember when me and Namir came to visit you when you had Raven? Eclipsetess told us that she's has the markings of an old ancestor...that she would be reborn. Her name I don't remember, but maybe it's all connected..?" she said unsure if she should be worried, but she just looked at Nysa as the filly was confused wanting to know what they were talking about.

     Though Solstice then looked at Nature before looking at Orion, "You should really be working on that Orion..." she said but he only rolled his eyes saying that he has yet to have the time. Solstice then looked back at Nature, "Maybe me and Eclipsetess could try and find your notes? I feel like there's something we don't know that we should know..." she said a bit worriedly hoping that if the foal's markings were related, that it wasn't anything bad. 

     Solstice then looked at Azulia, "Hm..yeah. She's risked her life many times to save mine...we almost lost her because of my mistake...I don't know what I would have done if we really did loose her...if I lost her..." she said looking down a bit, but Orion only comforted her some. Though Solstice looked at Azulia again. She knew what she was going to say, but didn't. Solstice was thankful because she didn't want Nysa to know. The past was the past. Solstice couldn't always dwell on it especially now that she was a mother. She only hoped that Dra was finally gone..that we would not return once again.

     Solstice did giggle a bit as she looked at Nature, "And that's exactly what I did....I don't know how many times I felt like giving up in the past...but here I am..living the life I've always wanted. Wasn't easy, but I fought..." she said pausing as she looked up at the sky, "Sometimes I think I can feel them...my parents..my mother..watching...every day I wonder what they think of me...what they look like..." she said as Orion nuzzled her as she returned the gesture.

"Heheh yep, though if you and Eclipsetess did go to the Heavens to go to the God Realm, then you'd just find three different gates, like Eclipsetess said Angel Realm is where all the angels roam, and you can imagine that the school now has a gate since there are many new ideas flying around the Isles now. And very good ones to be exact." Nature smiled as she was right, more ideas popped up every now and then when Faith was down on the Isles.

"Though only if Eclipsetess agrees since she's much more active aound Minette now it seems, very motherly like you and Moon, though she does have that guarding vibe rather than a motherly vibe. I mean I know what her occupation is now, besides still caring for you if your ever still in endanger. Which wouldn't be likely." Nature looked down for a bit before speaking her mind about Eclipsetess and how she acts accordingly now.

"But she might do whatever she agrees with you Solstice, you two are best friends basically, and will stand together as a powerful weapon." Nature stopped her sentence since she was going into exggeration, but what she said was true after all, even though its been said over and over again.

Minette started walking around since she was just sitting, but now she's having a bit more fun since she left her spot to just explore whilst Nysa was doing something else and Apollo sitting there as well, but she did go back and trot up to Eclipsetess since the two girls usually spent time together.

It still was a pretty relaxing day, and pretty chill too, though the sun did feel great on Minette's and Eclipsetess's backs since they didn't mind with some breeze as well, but the two did start running around together as they would the first time they met.

     Solstice nodded, "I've only been to the school. Haven't been outside of it. At least not yet, but Eclipsetess should know her way up there more then I would." she said glancing over at Eclipsetess. "I can tell there's a change in the Isles since Faith became the ruler. Now there's more gods willing to help...unlike the last ones," she said with a bit of disgust, "The Isles are at peace." she smiled.

     Though Solstice continued to listen, "Guess I didn't think that through..." she mumbled a bit, "I'll have to go talk to her, but if she agrees you'll have to keep an eye on Nysa Orion." she said looking at the stallion. Nysa was playing with Tod a bit since the conversation got boring, but once she heard her name, Nysa stopped and looked at her parents. Orion nodded perfectly fine with watching her as he should be.

     Nysa just looked at her parents, "But I want to go! Why can't I go with you mom? It's not like anything bad will happen. I-i promise to stay by your side!" she said begging to go. Solstice just sighed and looked at Orion unsure if she should take her or not. Orion seemed just as unsure as the both of them thought about it before Solstice eventually spoke up...maybe it was after a couple of minutes of thinking.

     "Nysa you can't go where your aunt and I might be heading off to shortly. You'd need to fly, and you don't have wings." she said softly as she stepped over to the filly and nuzzled her, "I shouldn't be gone long if you aunt comes along. We just have to retrieve something for Nature. That's all." she said as Nysa just snorted a bit and Solstice sighed, "Nysa you have to remember who I am. I can't always be here with you even if I want to. There might be times I have to go or stay up in the heavens for some time, but no matter what happens I will always come back. Always." she said reassuring the filly as she nuzzled her again.

     Nysa just looked down before she looked up at her mother some, "Okay mom..." she said quietly, "I understand.." Nysa nuzzled her back before she stepped over to her father with her head lowered. Solstice just sighed as she watched the filly and nuzzled Orion. She knew Orion would take care of her, but it was normal for a mother to be hesitant to leave their child. Solstice knew that she had to go anyways. Just a few hours away..hopefully.

     Solstice looked back at Nature, "Well we are both powerful, but she knows more magic and fighting then I do. Either way I should go speak with her to see if she wants to go or not. It was nice chatting with you two." she smiled before she looked at Nysa and Orion nuzzling them both, "Please stay with your father Nysa. Listen to what he says." Nysa only nodded as Solstice trotted over to Eclipsetess and Minette once they were done running around together.

     "I'd hate to interrupt you two, but I'd like to talk to you Eclipsetess." she said once she approached the two. Solstice told Eclipsetess about the strange markings some of the foals have, and how Nature had some notes about markings in a library. "Since Nature can't retrieve them, I offered to try and find them. I was hoping you'd want to come along. Orion is watching Nysa for me, and I'm not as familiar with things up there as you are."

"Oh? Well then that's what you hoped for! I'll come along to help you navigate through the Heavens, it shouldn't be long to find them then." Eclipsetess said, she was ready and Minette just trotted over to where Marrow was since Minette could tell that she couldn't come along in a big place full of clouds.

"Hm, already knows what to do, smart one." Eclipsetess said when she watched Minette trot off, she smiled as Minette said nothing and did what Eclipsetess was already gonna ask, that was a very helpful thing for Eclipsetess.

"Well when should we go? Now or when you get prepared? I just have a hunch that we'll meet a friendly goddess up there, just like how we were greeted by the alicorn king." Eclipsetess asked Solstice, she did want Solstice to prepare herself before flying up, but Eclipsetess also said her hunch and she might be right?

Tod looked at Nysa when she walked over to her father and hung her head, he then just walked over to Nature and jumped back onto her back as Azulia put up a little curiosity in his red pelt, but she also just took her head away from Tod as he seemed to begin napping on Nature's back.

"What a silly todd he is." Nature sweetly said, when she looked at Tod who was now sleeping on her back, Azulia smiled and looked at Tod before looking behind her.

"Hm, yeah, I should go now since Raven's probably been sleeping for awhile with Cronsi. I'll see you guys, maybe when Eclipsetess and Solstice return from their trip to collect Nature's notes." Azulia told the group her good bye, before telling the group her hunch.

Nature only rolled her eyes at Azulia, before shaking off any dirt and then layed down as Tod got up and curled around Nature when she layed down, the male fox always with his red pelt, though Vixen came back from wherever she was before shaking dirt off her and running back to her den for the rest of the time.

     Solstice smiled happily, "Well I have been wanting to see what it's actually like up there.." she admitted before she watched Minette, "Nysa begged to come, but I told her she couldn't come..." she sighed looking over at Orion and Nysa, "Hate telling her she can't come with me sometimes, but maybe next time I suppose..." she said before looking at Eclipsetess stretching her wings some.

     "I mean I'm ready to go..better head out soon before Nysa comes over trying to join us.." Solstice said trying to work out a small laugh before she looked at Eclipsetess curiously. "Oh? Well it would be nice to meet some fellow gods and goddesses..." she said with a faint smile, "Should we go then? Sooner we leave the sooner we can get back and give Nature her notes."

     Nysa glanced over at her mother and her aunt before she looked over at Tod. Orion just sighed and nudged Nysa to take her somewhere else after saying goodbye to Azulia and Nature. Nysa just looked at her father before looking back down as she followed him. Orion glanced at her as they walked, but once they reached their normal spot, Orion laid down as Nysa did the same beside him.

     Nysa just curled up not wanting to talk. Orion sighed and just watched the herd, but things were quiet. Though Nysa eventually spoke, "Dad...?" she said quietly and hesitantly. Orion looked down at her letting her speak, "What were auntie Azulia and..Nature talking about? About mom..a-and me? What were they talking about..? Where is mom even going?" she asked leaving Orion a bit unsure of how to answer her at first.

      Orion sighed, "Your mom...has a past, but I can't tell you about it. That's for your mother to tell, but don't ask her about it. Even I will tell you that a filly your age should not know what happened. Your mother is going to the heavens. Where past generations of your family live as well as the guardian school and most gods and goddesses. Where Faith lives. Don't worry about what they were talking about. Your mother and aunt will be back before you know it."
