Isles of Somewhere | Sequel Rp

Smoke looked up and held her head high before attempting to stand up since her legs fell asleep, well her legs were always asleep whenever she was asleep, but she only comforted Nysa as she went back on her side, she did lay up to stay on gaurd for Nysa.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that everyone has everything under control, including the wolf pack. So we're not in any danger, unless something comes to this den. But I'm sure that it won't happen, not for awhile or more. I'll promise on that." Smoke spoke up, first she was soft before toughening up as she made sure that if anyone was listening, then they'd back away as a mare would make them runaway quicker then a fleet of dust. Or well faster.

Though as the wolves completely encircled the path entrance to the wolf pack, one of the wolves were about lunge until a horse stepped their whole leg and hoof out, then a bit of their muzzle as well. The wolves only got more aggressive, but the alpha was also in his cave preparing for something.

"I am no threat. Just a passer." a stallion's voice rang out, but one of the wolves asked how he found this place without the wolves help, or someone acknowledgable about the Isle itself, only the alpha and the wolves knew best about it.

"If you want the answer, you'll have to let me through and get warm and let this ice and snow melt off me first." the stallion told the wolf of who asked the question to him, though the wolves reluctantly backed up as the stallion stepped through, but they still completely encircled him, even making an actual circle around the stallion. Just so he couldn't do anything to the group that was here, or the two mares.

As the stallion rested, the wolves began taking the stallion's cloak, and he didn't seem to mind it at all, though he had a bay coat, with a couple leg markings, the front left leg marking was a weird sock, though the back left hind quarter's leg had a weird pastern, though he also had a small splotch on his left side of his stomach. Towards the bottom or near it, the stallion's face had an almost full bald face, if it didn't stop right at the edge of his eye. Oh and his eye(s) were blue due to the bald face.

"What's your name stranger?" Esmeray asked, he may have acted tough, but he also had questions as well, so he didn't mind to do both; act tough and ask questions as well.

"My name? It's Lichanura, I presume your looking for someone?" Lichanura asked the group, and the whole group he meant, but the wolves got defensive but Esmeray had them hushed. But he did say yes, but not who, which to his surprise Lichanura smiled and knew that Esmeray didn't say the name, mostly because he watched the whole thing from afar.

"How do you know us? Were you in our herd previously?!" Raven shouted but calmed down, Lichanura only laughed before his horn tried to spot some magic out, but it failed, to everyone's surpise except for the stallion. Which he was used to it really.

"I actually used to date someone that you all knew, I just needed to find her daughter, and tell the daughter who I am. It's gonna be hard at all, since we are walking or going to go in the same direction anyways, so it'd be fun traveling with you all!" Lichanura told Raven, well the whole group primarily, but everyone knew that Lichanura was wanting to talk with Minette, who was taken from everyone when that stallion showed up and took her.

"We all know that your talking about Eclipsetess's daughter, who I'm not saying her name, mostly because we do not know you at all." Esmeray harshly and confidentally told Lichanura, the stallion backed off as Lichanura only smiled and laughed, though he did grab a book from his satchel that he had strapped on his back, but no one cared enough to see it.

"Please, the pleasures only mine when I'm traveling with you all, and I take great pride in observing. So that's how I found my way here, without a wolf or horse to help me. I am or used to be called the Observer once or twice years ago, and used to be a god as well. Until I demoted to a mortal, which wasn't that long ago actually." Lichanura spoke up, he was noting down what he said, but what he also observed, so he used to be a God called Observer. Makes sense on why he found his normal but observing way here.

Though no one else questioned the strange stallion, but he did share his name, and if he was a God or not, and appearantly he was so, but everyone just left him alone for the rest of the time since he was busy writing everything down, in his journal full of notes.

     Nysa couldn't help but try to sit up. Laying on her side was starting to get quite uncomfortable for her. After a moment or two of preparing herself, she tried readjusting herself so that she was laying down still but this time with her legs under her. She managed to do that, just barely. Though Nysa struggled some with staying like that at least until Smoke laid back down beside her.

     Nysa didn't say anything though as she listened to Smoke. She didn't really have anything to say. Instead she just gave a small nod. She did look outside of the den for a moment, but there wasn't much that she could see as far as what was going on. Nysa then just softly laid her head on Smoke's back to keep her relaxed and to help keep her upright before she closed her eyes.

     Apollo watched the wolves before a horse's leg had stepped out. Apollo's ears went flat against his neck as he got a bit protective of everyone. He kept a close eye on this stallion, well at least what he saw of him. Though he let the wolves speak..at least for now. Apollo watched as the stallion stepped out completely. He'd never seen him before, but even if he had Apollo wasn't going to trust him.

     Though once the wolves took off the stallions cloak, Apollo looked at his coat. It was much like Namir's. Only Namir had four stockings and an odd looking blaze that started only halfway down his face. Didn't mean Apollo trusted him any more than he had before. Apollo looked at Esmeray as he spoke up, but his gaze quickly went back to the stallion, Lichanura, when he said they were looking for someone.

     "And how do you know that?" Apollo snorted as he took a single step forward. Apollo didn't take his eyes off him, but he heard what Raven yelled. "No. As far as I know I've never seen him before. I've been in the herd since I was a few weeks old." he said answering Raven without taking his eyes off of Lichanura. Mainly because of Smoke and Nysa. Though Apollo stomped his hoof a bit when he spoke of Minette..even when he didn't say her name.

     Apollo didn't say anything, but the conversation went on. Eventually Apollo just looked at Esmeray, "We can't just let him walk in here and let him think he's a part of the group. Eclipsetess never said anything about him, so how do we know we can trust him? We don't know why he's searching for Minette. She has nothing to do with this stallion." he said in a quiet but protective tone since he didn't really want Lichanura to hear. It didn't matter to him if he was a god before. 

"Yeah.. And we can't take any precautions if he decides to do something, or try too.." Moonlight added in, she felt more aware than the others, but she also felt annoyed by the stallion laying down right there, well a little far since the wolves kept a circle around him.

"Exactly. We can't trust him no matter what, even if he is coming with us." Esmeray agreed, though he looked back at the stallion as he yawned and decided to graze while laying down. Which was an interesting way to eat, but if you want to be lazy then I guess yeah.

"At least the wolves are keeping us safe, and away from him. Though I don't know how long they'll be circling the stallion, since they can get bored and go back to what they were doing.." Moonlight spoke silently, though she did lay back down since she got up because of the stallion, and mostly fright when she first layed down.

"I just hope we don't have to deal with him long, it'll be interestng to hear his story, but I don't know if we should listen." Raven butted in, she was mostly quiet for the most part, but she felt left out of the conversation, but she did also provide something that the group could use as an advantage in case something went wrong.

"We already know that he was a former God, so we don't need the story, unless we want to as a group that votes by majority." Esmeray told Raven, the mare just frowned in a more adorable way, but she did stay quiet for the most part,even if she suggested something that Esmeray told her no on.

     Apollo nodded, "We already have a lot going on. The last thing we need is to deal with him. He isn't one of us. Who does he think he is?" Apollo said as he glanced at the stallion. "We don't know his intentions..how he even knows about Minette I don't even know." he said as not even an ounce of him trusted this stallion. Not one bit. Though he glanced over where Smoke and Nysa were, "We can't let him go anywhere near them either.."

     "It'll be what it is. We'll figure something else out if the wolves go back to doing what they were doing. Until now..I'm not sure." he said, "He looks a lot like Namir though..not gonna lie.." he mumbled. Apollo wasn't so sure what they were going to do, but he was at least going to keep an eye on this strange stallion. They had no choice but to keep an eye on him. "We'll just have to watch him and see if he does anything odd."

     Though Apollo thought about him being a god, "He claims he was a god, but how can it be proved? I'm sure some gods were turned mortal against their will if they did something wrong...Faith got rid of a lot of bad gods..resulting in Eclipsetess and Solstice becoming goddesses as well as many new ones." Apollo glanced at the stallion as he spoke, "Though someone probably should tell Smoke and Nysa..if she's awake about what's going on. No doubt they heard the wolves growl." he said thinking it was best for them to at least know. Well at least to inform Smoke since Nysa had fallen asleep again.

     Then Apollo turned his attention back to Apollo, but he kept his voice down. He didn't want this stallion to overhear anything he said. "Raven...is there anything else you want to tell us about what you were saying before he showed up...?" he hesitantly asked her. "I'm not going to ask you how you even know, but I feel like now we should at least know..." he said mumbling a bit. "Might want to keep this from Nysa either way.."

"Oh um, I was just saying it because sometimes Eclipsetess would put on weight before making her stomach shrink, I mean she does get hungry either way, but still.. Sometimes her stomach just bothers me and how it matches closely to an actual preggo mare.." Raven said, though she was trying hard to think and say words at the same time, it was a hectic reply to Apollo, but Raven managed to complete her sentence or two.

"I'll go and tell, I'll b back- as usual." Moonlight offered, though she did go anyways, but Esmery just watched her before she disappeared into the cave, though Esmeray turned his head to watch the strange stallion. Even he had to pay much more detail to what he does.

Though by luck, some wolves stayed around Lichanura, even forming an even tighter circle around the stallion, but when Lichanura was getting up, wolves flocked around him again, making the stallion only graze in his little area. Which was going to be hard for him.

"Man, already that quick to graze again?" Raven asked, Esmeray told her yes since the stallion had traveled far and long, probably not stopping until he caught himself a break, which was really long to be thinking of it, and quite sad that the stallion didn't eat for a day or two.

But Esmeray and the group watched as Lichanura already ate his grass in his border, so the wolves followed him in a circle as the stallion was able to move and eat as much as he wanted since he was probably really hungry, but all in all, Raven put her head down to rest as she fell asleep most likely.

Though Esmeray watched as the stallion was turning around, but he wasn't paying attention, and Esmeray got up and pushed the stallion towards where his original pen was, though Lichanura looked at Esmeray as the stallion reared at Lichanura. Which scared off the stallion to the opposite side.

"Wow, your really that protective of our space?" Marrow asked, her voice was sarcastic but at least sounded a bit interested and surprised in all the same, Esmeray just calmed down before returning to his spot and to tell Marrow as well. But Esmeray was like a lead stallion with just how he uphanded Lichanura like that, which also made Lichanura respect Esmeray.

     Apollo seemed to understand Raven. "I don't think Eclipsetess would hide something like that..she'd probably be too giddy to hide something like that. Though her and Solstice were talking about something before..well you know.." he said. He did notice the two chatting secretively before things went haywire. Though Raven might have been onto something, "Either way..there's nothing we can do until we can get them back, but before that we have to find Minette."

     Apollo then looked over at Moonlight nodding. Though he knew there was something going on with Moonlight. She was acting stranger than normal, but he left it alone for now. Instead Apollo stayed with the others watching the stallion, "Well he did follow us here. We got here pretty fast because of the statue..that's why he just now arrived here." he said as he watched the stallion closely.

     Though Apollo tried to think on the bright side of things feeling like everyone needed it, "Orion came from a different Isle y'know. Though he's never said where he was from really. Traveling across multiple Isles must be exhausting..." he said before the realization hit, "Well guess that's what we might have to do...still don't have a plan." he mumbled as he laid down letting out a sigh.

     Apollo did look up watching the stallion again. Watching every moment he made. Even if it was a flick of an ear. Though Apollo watched Esmeray seem to put Lichanura in his place..just like a lead stallion. "He's protecting us. Smoke and Nysa. All of us. We only have each other. We all have to protect each other," he said before she spread out his wings stretching them for a moment before he brought them back to his side.

     Nysa was just sleeping again. Probably best. She seemed to be taking things a lot harder than everyone else, but it made sense. Everyone else was stone in less than a minute except her mother. Nysa was just hurt. Lost. Scared. Though being unable to get up seemed to help her take it easy and rest while processing everything on her own. She was still the youngest too, so it could have been another factor on why she was taking things as hard as she was.

"Hey Nysa, Smoke, I have something to tell you guys.. Something that's new really.." Moonlight said in a soft and gentle-esque voice, trying her best to not disturb the two, and trying to be polite as well. Like a fresh knock at the door that's very gentle and getting you up gently as well.

"Oh hey Moonlight." Smoke was curious of what Moonlight had to say, though with Moonlight trying to be nice, she was probably hiding something before saying the thing, but Smoke waited and whispered to Nysa that Moonlight was here, but gently and welcoming so that Nysa wasn't overall bombarded more then she had been.

"So what do you have to say?" Smoke asked, Moonlight just thought out her words before springing to action with them, though she did consider only saying the one thing, but with Esmeray putting Lichanura in his place was also new too, but Moonlight didn't know what to say first. But she then figured it out.

"So we have a new horse, he was actually hiding in the brush on our home Isle, so he's from some herd on Isles of Dreams, when we later returned and most horses going to where they want. Anyways, the stallion is actually pretty weird and that he knows who Minette is.. But Esmeray put the stallion in his place and made him go to the other side of the barrier. Oh and the stallion's name is Lichanura, but I think I I saw Namir in him- well metaphorically with the bay coat and all. But it was a nice surprise, but the wolves also flockd around him when he got up." Moonlight told the two in her gentle natured and soft voice, well to her best since she sounded too nice and sweet, but Smoke nodded as she made sure that Nysa was just comfortable.

"Well thank you for telling us, if we see the stallion, then we'll call Esmeray over. Since he seems to be really protecting the best with us." Smoke told Moonlight, Moonlight also told the two be prepared whenever they decide when they're ready to adventure, even though Moonlight wasn't trying to joke around nor be mean, Smoke knew that Moonlight wanted Nysa to rest her whole body completely until it healed itself back up, and walk whenever she was ready. Even with Smoke next to her at all times.

"Thank you for your worry Moonlight, but I'll make sure this young mare is safe and secure, you know how I am; helpful and protective, like my father and even Esmeray too." Smoke told Moonlight, Smoke considered Nysa to be a young mare instead of not fully mature like everyone tries to treat her, which was nice that Smoke treated Nysa more like an adult than a not fully mature horse, even Moonlight's voice had the same respect for Nysa as well.

"Only friends and family can respect someone so young, which is what I'm doing to you Nysa; you need more respect, your still young, but I will always consider you to be a young mare instead of a young horse. Young mare seems more appropriate to you Nysa." Smoke told Nysa, Moonlight was already out of the cave the time that Smoke began talking.

     Nysa was sleeping soundly for a good while until she somehow startled herself awake. She quietly snorted hating when she did that. Like she forgets everything sometimes when she's asleep and then somehow startles herself awake. It happened every so often. At least it wasn't from a weird nightmare this time though. Nysa then looked over realizing Moonlight had come back over.

     Her ears lowered some when Moonlight said there was something she had to tell. Nysa could still tell something was going on out there, but she was still clueless on what. Nysa hadn't said anything yet. Well she hadn't said a word since she performed the spell really. The good thing was she was doing better. Nysa could adjust her body easier, but her eyes were still quite dull indicating she still lacked a lot of her strength.

     Though Nysa listened as Moonlight eventually spoke up. A new stallion? Nysa was curious but unsure of him. She'd never heard of the name before. "I feel like I would know about him if Minette knew him...which tells me he knows who she is, but she doesn't know a thing about him.." she said quietly and slowly, but she finally spoke up breaking her silence. Though she looked up at Moonlight when she mentioned Namir before she looked down.

     Nysa looked at Smoke for a moment, "Those wolves wouldn't let him near us if they are still surrounding him.." she said knowing that much. Though she slightly readjusted her body as she started to get tired with laying down as long as she had. Nysa needed to move around, but she knew her body wouldn't let her. She just had to wait until she could move around again.

     "Resting is the only thing I can do unfortunately.." Nysa mumbled as she seemed to slowly go back to her normal self. She was still grieving and all, but at least she was talking again. Helping Nature with the critters taught her that she couldn't rush things. She knew she needed to stay off of her hooves. Well she was sure she wouldn't even be able to stand again yet. Solstice would just keep trying to get up.

     Though Nysa just let out a small quiet snort, "I'm not going to go anywhere. I can barely even move. Which is unfortunate.." she muttered. Nysa was definitely becoming more lively that was for sure, but it was a good sign regarding earlier she could hardly even tell who was there with her or even where she was at. Though Nysa was grateful she was able to help Smoke. This was just part of the ending result.

     Nysa looked at Smoke though, "I'm not a filly anymore. I may still be the youngest in the group..probably still the youngest in the herd, but I can take care of myself. My mother made sure of that." she said before she looked outside the den for a moment as she sighed, "I miss her...I miss all of them..." she said as she looked down before she softly placed her head on the ground, "I'm lost without her...without Minette..I was always spending time with them, and now..." Nysa just stopped as she was hurting.

"I'm still grieving as well, but with how I went, I couldn't focus on mother and father, but I'm glad that my two younger twins survived as well, and that they wouldn't want to come near me- having fear that they know that I'll lose them if they touched me, that's the reason they didn't want to visit me yet. And I know they want me to rest easy as well. I'm just making sure that I'm doing the samething with you. Family habits pass down really." Smoke told Nysa, though she nibbled her mane a little bit as to clean it since some pebbles were in Nysa's mane, and she also made sure to clean her side that she wasn't on as well.

"I'm just happy that your alive Nysa, we wouldn't have survived as a group without you, your the one that sticks us together. Even though I'm not apart of that, but I still have to watch my brother's anyways. So it wouldn't matter if I wanted to be in your group. Because I know everyone is having fun. Well.. Somewhat fun.. Okay maybe not fun at all, but we'll think of a plan on how to get Minette back, we just gotta hope that she wasn't stoned as a staute.. that would make you incredibly mad, since I know you two are cousins- well everyone does anyways, but I know you have stronger magic, you'll just unlock it when your mad. But if Minette was taught anything from her mother; she would be able to easily restore your strength back.. Well when you faint from defeating your enemy." Smoke told Nysa, maybe she wasn't good at telling good things and to keep Nysa happy, but she at least wanted to keep Nysa the same, even if it didn't mean to hurt her extremely bad.

"But I'm trying not to hurt you worse, I'm just trying to think of a way to keep you happy, I know I suck at it, but cut me some slack sometimes.. Well maybe yell at me since I went into sensitive topics without asking or saying anything.. That would be my fault for that, but I'll still take the blame for getting myself caught again. And the fact that I accidentally knocked into someone.. I had lost my balance when trying to get out of the maze of stoned horses, I'm sorry I still got you into wasting your strength on me. I would've been fine the way I was without anyone, but I know how stubborn you all are. And that you'd drag me anywhere just to keep me alive." Smoke happily said at the end,  though she did promise to try and not hurt Nysa even more, but Smoke did apologize for the same reason as well, but who was blame Smoke? No one except herself.

     Nysa looked at Smoke, "I know..I've just never seen my mom struggle the way I did...the look in her eyes..she knew she wasn't going to stop it.." she said as her voice was quiet but also quite painful. "I've never seen her scared like that before..but it was like there was a different reason she was scared..something I don't know about..something she probably kept to herself," she said mumbling a bit to herself before she realized she was just rambling on to herself.

     Though Nysa went quiet for a moment, "Well your brothers have been quiet..and haven't been messing with each other...surprisingly." she said trying to work up a small smile, but she wasn't very successful. She tried at least. That mattered. "That stallion wouldn't come back for us so soon if he kept us..alive. I just can't think about what Minette could be going through.." she mumbled missing her. Though it seemed to relax and comfort her as Smoke nibbled her mane and groomed her side a bit.

     Nysa sighed, "I'm falling apart Smoke...I don't know what I'm doing. I-i can't even think straight.." she said unsure if she even was important to the group. Nysa just doubted herself. Even if she had done something she couldn't think she could do only a few hours before. Though she started talking again without realizing it, "He would have stoned all of us if he wanted to, but he didn't. I don't think he stoned her...it wouldn't make any sense.." she said continuing to look down.

     "No doubt I do have strong magic...Solstice is my mother..a goddess...that power most likely passed down.." she mumbled unsure if she wanted strong magic. Well Nysa just wasn't thinking clearly, but that will change over time. Right now she was tired and just trying to process everything. Though Nysa lowered her ears, but she said nothing. Nysa just doubted some of the things Smoke had said about her magic and all.

     She knew Smoke had good intentions though. "I'm not going to yell at you Smoke.." she said looking at her, "Probably couldn't work up the strength to yell, but either way I'm not going to." Nysa knew it was a hard time for all of them. It wouldn't be right if she yelled at her. "It's not your fault Smoke...we didn't know about him until it was too late. By that point, there was nothing any of us could have done."

     Though Nysa looked up at her more, "We weren't just going to leave you there like that. It'd make us just as bad as him, but I didn't know this was going to happen to me. Either way I did something I was scared to do..something that I thought I couldn't do..I've never done a spell at that level before...that's probably why it left me weak. I wasn't going to let you continue to suffer either." she said, "It was my choice."

Smoke was listening and even smiled at Nysa, even so that Smoke was thinking now, really hard this time as well. Mostly because she was always trying hard to summon her own magic, since she was the daughter of a lead stallion, she tried summoning her horn and wings like what Scorn always did. But no matter how old that filly-mare got, she would never succeed, even if she was in the herd as well.

But this time, Smoke was thinking and was priotizing about her thoughts, she didn't want Nysa to be weak for who knows how long they had to be in the wolf pack, even Smoke wouldn't be able to lay down and stay down forever, but the black coated mare just began thinking..

This time her thought process was different, her thoughts organized and neat, thinking at a time and just clearing her mind out as well, linking her mind into her soul, well she was still able to here, but it was muffled. Then Smoke opened her eyes and looked up- or well looked at the ceiling, the mare could feel a tinging sensation coming from her forehead..

But as Smoke payed more attention to outside, a horn grew straight out of her forehead really quickly, which Smoke was excited about but she controlled herself, which she also comforted Nysa more, but in a little excited way. But she also told Nysa that she was gonna restore her strength back to her, as a friend would.

"Just hold still, it's my time summoning a horn, well I guess my father was the same.. But I'm planning on getting you up." Smoke told Nysa, the mare got up but still had to balance herself since she forget her legs were there until she started to move them again.

But as Smoke got up, she had no spellbook teleporting to her, because her horn isn't permanent unlike Scorn's since he uses his magic the most for everything, but as Smoke focused and pointed her horn at Nysa, she started to ease her mind and began falling into that place where she linked her soul with her mind just for her horn..

But as Smoke's new horn started glowing, she also had a front hoof or two wrapped in white vines, somewhat similar to Natue's vines but the vines were small and formed more of a rose flower tattoo, three rose heads attached together by a single stem, though the rose flowers were implimented on Smoke's right (left) shoulder but it also implemented onto Smoke's right (left) hind quarter.

As Smoke opened her eyes and her magic faded away, including the rose flowers that seemed to disappear as a temporary tattoo, just like her horn, but she only focused on Nysa and wanted to know how she felt and if she could any better at all.. Which was sweet and nice of er to focus more on Nysa rather than her own well being.

"Nysa.. Did.. My magic work on you? Did the right spell give you strength? I- I'm just curious but also scared if it didn't work.. I just wanted to know if you could move at all.." Smoke asked Nysa, though she began crying if it didn't work then she did the wrong spell it would've only hurt Nysa more. But Smoke wanted was to just heal Nysa back to herself and how she was before.

     Before Nysa even realized it, it was silent. Not a sound came from either of them. Though she could tell Smoke was thinking hard about something, but she didn't know what it was she was thinking about. Nysa just thought about things as well. Mainly about Minette. What she was going through. Nysa had never been without her mother, her father, or even without Minette before. She didn't have any of them. Though she'd find a way to get them back. Even if that came with a sacrifice. 

     Though Nysa listened to the faint and quiet sounds coming from outside. She wanted to go out there, but she couldn't. She was definitely more lively than she was a bit ago. Nysa snorted a bit, but it was quiet as she at least wanted to try to sit up, but she could move her legs all too well. Sometimes she still acted like her filly self, but she was still young too so it was normal.

     Nysa did look at the necklace she wore. She looked at it curiously. Something about it was different. Not that she could see a change in it. She could feel a change in it. Nysa thought it was odd, but she looked over at Smoke. Nysa started to get a little worried about her knowing she was up to something. What that something was though, Nysa had no idea. Though before she even realized it, a horn had appeared on Smoke as Nysa didn't know what to think.

     "Wha-" she said pretty much speechless, "H-how did y..." Nysa just stopped herself as Smoke spoke, "Smoke..I'll be fine after I rest up. That's all it is." she said as Smoke didn't need to do anything. Though Nysa knew Smoke wasn't going to take no as an answer. No one really ever took no as an answer. Not even Nysa...well most times she didn't at least. Sometimes she had no choice because of Solstice.

     Nysa did give Smoke a bit of a look, not a rude one, "You know I'm not going anywhere." she teased, "Just be careful. Your body is still recovering too you know." she said even though she was happy to see Smoke move around freely. Solstice would have been proud of her. Though she was always proud of her daughter. Nysa watched Smoke as she slowly started to perform the spell.

     She could feel the magic enter her body, but Nysa closed her eyes before she opened them. She noticed the strange markings or tattoos appear on Smoke's body as well as some odd looking vines. They were nothing like Nature's she knew that much. Though Nysa ended up closing her eyes again just before Smoke had completed the spell as Nysa opened her eyes once more.

      Her eyes were still quite dull before Smoke performed the spell. As she opened them, you could see the color slowly returning back to its normal color. Nysa could feel as her strength started coming back. Though she looked up at Smoke as she was crying. Nysa took a deep breath before she adjusted her body enough so that she could hopefully get back up. Once she did, she took another breath as she sat up.

     Nysa then took a third moment before she attempted to get up all the way. At first her legs were a bit wobbly, but once she got her balance, she was fine. Nysa smiled as she carefully stepped towards Smoke and put her muzzle against her's. "It worked." she said with the biggest smile she had since the day before. It wasn't a large smile, but it was bigger than the small ones she had every now and then for a moment.

"Good.." Smoke spoke, she was still crying but happy this time, though she slowly started to stop crying, but she was happy to have helped Nysa in something that she needed to rest but wanted to get her up and active once more, though Smoke walked around for a good bit before staring out at the entrance of the cave.

But Smoke saw and noticed that Moonlight was coming up to see how the two were doing, but Smoke could see that Moonlight already spotted her up and saw her looking out, though she also knew that Moonlight was thinking that Nysa was up and being awake.

Though as Moonlight walked in the entrance of the cave, Smoke and her nuzzled before Moonlight walked over to Nysa, though the mare just smiled as Nysa was up and awake, even Smoke had walked back over to Nysa and just groomed her sides since there was pebbles here and there but in a more clear sight.

Moonlight then turned around and walked out of the cave, Smoke just stood back at the entrance in silence, but she was also waiting for Nysa to walk over and out of the cave as well, but Smoke just enjoyed the view.. Until she spotted a stallion that was napping by himself, that must've been Lichanura to Smoke.

"Well now we know where he exactly is, the strange stallion I mean.." Smoke said, she turned her head to face Nysa before looking back over at Lichanura, the stallion didn't even dare to look up at the cave where Smoke was, but in shade; Smoke could be barely even seen..

     Nysa smiled as she nuzzled Smoke gratefully. She wasn't perfect on her hooves, but she should be fine in a short while. "Like father like daughter." she said with a smile as she looked at Smoke. Though she didn't think Smoke even had magic, but it was just hidden. Like she had to unlock it. Either way Nysa was happy that Smoke was with them. Even under the current situation.

     Though Nysa watched Smoke walk around a bit before she stood at the entrance looking out. Nysa just took a step or two not wanting to overdo it. Nysa did look to see Moonlight had come back over. She smiled and nuzzled the mare as she came over. Nysa hadn't even realized she had some pebbles on her coat until Smoke started grooming her. Probably just ended up sticking to her coat from laying down for a few good hours with little movement.

     Moonlight seemed to leave as Smoke seemed ready to leave the den as well. Nysa just carefully took a few steps. She wouldn't lie that it felt good to move around again. She was normally pretty active. Though as Nysa poked her head out, she quickly noticed the stallion. She already got a bad feeling from him. "Well...Moonlight was right..he kind of does look like my uncle..in a way.." she mumbled before she softly nudged Smoke, "Come on let's go to the others."

     Nysa started to walk over to where the others normally were. At first she took it slow, but she quickly got better and her balance got better. Apollo was just grazing a little bit while keeping a close eye on Lichanura. He ended up just watching the stallion without taking his eyes off of him for a good minute or two allowing Nysa to walk over without him noticing. Eventually Nysa just got close enough she could pull on his feathers.

     Apollo jumped up spreading out his wings as he hovered there. Maybe even yelling a bit. Nysa just couldn't help but laugh even if she lost her balance for a second. Apollo looked at her snorting a bit as he went back to the ground when the realization hit. "Wait..Nysa I thought you wouldn't be able to move around for a day or so? You were pretty weak..." he said confused but also shocked to see her.

     Nysa was still giggling. She needed the laugh. They all did. "Well..you are right. Probably would have taken a day or so, but Smoke didn't want me to stay like that for that long. I'll let her explain things.." she said looking at Smoke before she went to graze. Nysa hadn't really gotten the chance to actually eat, so she took it while ignoring the stallion for now. He wasn't important for the time being. At least not to her.

Smoke was walking down after she stopped watching Lichanura, something was just interesting in him, and Smoke just usually ignored things like new stallions or rather other horses, but she will help out and to get to know a horse or two, but Smoke was walking over as she watched Nysa get close enough to where Nysa could pull Apollo's feathers.

Which she did, Smoke smiled and giggled quietly before walking over after Nysa went to go graze, everything was still new to Smoke, with the wolves, Lichanura, the new changes and everything else.. Including getting her horn from focusing and clearing her mind..

Though Smoke looked and watched the group before feeling a bit different, but she did focus on some bits since she still didn't feel comfortable going into the group, but Smoke's younger twin brothers looked at Smoke as they realized that she was here, alongside Nysa.

But the twins didn't walk over to Smoke since they heard from what Nysa said, they more or less accidentally eavesdropped, also on purpose as well.. The two stallions just wanted everyone else to talk to their bigger sister before the two went over and asked how she was doing last.

Moonlight was excited that Nysa was back up and going to eat, Blizzard, Marrow, adn even Esmeray were also excited but Esmeray was especially excited, mostly because he didn't have to worry about anyone near or close to Lichanura, well he stilled worried if they would ever go to the next Isle after the blizzard outside died down..

Esmeray just prayed that the blizzard would be over soon, even Moonlight prayed as well, mostly because she didn't want anyone to be cooped up more then they would be inside a barrier with extremely nice wolves that seem to hunt outside but away from the horse group, including Lichanura as well..
