Isles of Somewhere | Sequel Rp

"And where do you propose you should go?" Lichanura asked Nysa, he didn't seem to be bothered that a mare yelled at someone or two horses, though his voice was starting to get defensive and that he started to act more like a rival stallion to Esmeray.

"Your just like my first love, she always yelled at me for the most stupidest things, even to the point she stabbed me.. I've been hurting and wondering where she went, and I know now.. And I know she's scared of me, scared I'll hurt her.. When I used to do that to her when we were together, her herd's lead stallion wasn't ready for a battle or two.. Because he was inexperienced in them.. I totaled him seventeen times and then he gave up.. But he stabbed me as well.. Most of the mares that remembered me, especially that snow-like mare knew me.. But I guess she's been dead for awhile.. Good thing I was never mentioned huh?" Lichanura began talking and diving into madness, though Esmeray did notice two scars that were near his heart but not close enough, but he also saw Lichanura's horn grow without rhyme or reason, but he was able to get right exactly behind Nysa before standing next to her.

"I've been known as the King of Descentful Madness, never the knew reason, but I now know that I've been a crazy mad stallion since I was born, and that I could fool any mare and they'd die from me. Seeing them worthless, not moving, maybe mostly because that's why most mares were reborn because of my legend that was burned by the whole Isle.. Their scared and they will never show it.. Your just scared like everyone else, but your lashing out and not even thinking.. Their just trying to help you by getting me to help distract the king of stone so that they could rescue the mare yu all know.. I've been stoned twice, but your the actual reason on why they need you.. You're groups lead stallion actually had a dream or well more with these stones I've been collecting over the years.. Your holding unlimited power just like your mother, though.. There's one chapter that contains the stones powers and how to use them.." Lichanura was evil but he was just telling his whole story only to Nysa, and that he didn't care what he thought because he was telling her and didn't care for anyone including his aunt that he used to date.

"You know.. Your aunt is actually been foaling since she was young with me, but she didn't say nothing because my species of horse takes years to even form correctly, so she was preggo and never knew until now.. Foaling starts at three for mares that I crossbreed with, your aunt was four and I was a month older but the same age.. Now she's scared of her mate and them finding out that she's been foaling and never until she started showing worry all over the place when the king of stone started, more worried that she tried to take him down.." Lichanura spoke again, but this information actually confirmed that Eclipsetess has been preggo since she noticed it, though Eclipsetess was thankful that everything was quiet until the event started to happen.

Though Lichanura was sneaky and gently took Nysa's book until he was able to forcefully take it, and he flipped to a page before he gave it back and then left, though the page revealed the stones powers and that it said in once a million years is that a demigod is here, meaning Nysa is the only demigod that was ever born in a million years, and that Lichanura basically also told her that she was forced to take down the king of stone. With these stones.

"Only Esmeray knew because the god's sent him that projection of the future!" Lichanura laughed, but he was right and confirmed that Esmeray's dream was that of Nysa transforming into a more goddess-like state and that was when he power fully unlocked, because demigod power is the same like goddess power, but except comes in many different forms, but Lichanura was only a concidence since he's been collecting rocks until now. And those rocks contained the very power to unlock Nysa's full form.

"Maybe it was a bad idea to give Esmeray your power rocks away, now you can't do nothing about it, and that we're all gonna get stoned.." Lichanura spoke as he turned around to face Nysa, though almost instantly on que, the king of stone landed down onto the ground and that Lichanura didn't talk because..

"Hmm.. Worthless lifeforms trying to take me down, or just trying to find your friend? Or even trying to unlock hidden potential..?" the king of stone spoke, Esmeray dropped the stones as he pinned his ears, Lichanura only move nor speak as the king of stone began walking up to him.

But he was stopped by Esmeray who began growling at the king of stone as he stood in front of the stallion without fear in his eyes, though the king of stone showed a panel and that panel was sided as Esmeray glowed and was flung until the glow went away and that Lichanura looked to the side of him and got nervous and scared..

"Wanna fight again to preserve your "new friends safety" again, or just die now like I want you to?" the king of stone asked Lichanura, everyone was surprised that Lichanura ran off, accidentally found the king of stone, and began fighting him just to keep the group alive?!

"I'll keep this group going until I'M DEAD!" Lichanura shouted, the king of stone showed no emotion and flung Lichanura high into the air, though Smoke brought out her horn and wings appeared as she looked more like Scorn, though as Smoke began running chains were formed as the king of stone was jabbed with a chain or two through his chest.

"Gah!" the king of stone couldn't speak, but he was flung back and tried to fly away but the chains didn't let him fly away, instead they just wrapped around him more.

"Inadequent, now your worthless.. "King of Stone".. Worthless!" Smoke shouted, though the stallion was on his back now, but Moonlight cried and began running to Smoke as she was yelling at her to get away, but Smoke didn't pay attention.

Because the king of stone summoned a scorpion's tail and jabbed through her back and stomach, forcefully pounding and indenting Smoke into the ground rather hard, Moonlight cried and still ran to her, even if she was hit with a circle and a star in the middle with two more littler stars top sides next to the star..

"Moonlight no!" Esmeray shouted, he then ran to her as he was still minorly injured, but he still ran. But Smoke used a 4D spell as she formed back once more, though the king of stone was able to dissolve the chains and free himself, but great advantage was that he was exceptionally injured and needed serious healing.

But Esmeray's tiny injury, Moonlight's curse, Lichanura's fall injury, and Smoke's almost-near-death +stabbed injury, was mostly because of a surprise attack but also because no one expected including Lichanura that the king of stone would attack anyone, but everyone is safe..

Though with a great advantage, Esmeray just made sure that Nysa wasn't harmed, and that he asked in a more scared voice if she was okay, he was just mainly worried about her since she was the youngest.. But he even made sure that she was okay first before anyone else.

     Nysa stopped as her ears were pinned flat against her neck as she snorted looking at Lichanura, "That's none of your business." she snapped, "But I don't want to be anywhere with you or the rest of them." she said. Apollo was still quiet, but it hurt him when he heard what Nysa said. They were friends..good friends, but apparently not any longer. He regretted not saying anything.

     Though Nysa got defensive when he started to talk about Eclipsetess. "That's probably a good thing. Seems like you deserved it." she said with a small smirk, "You might have known my aunt then, but you don't anymore." she snorted. She didn't know if Lichanura knew she was Nysa was her niece, but now he did. Nysa did notice Lichanura inched closer to her and eventually stood beside her, but she snorted moving away from her. She didn't trust him.

     Nysa just wanted to leave, but she couldn't. There was nowhere for her to go. Not with the blizzard. Giving her no choice but to listen to Lichanura. "Don't you tell me how I'm feeling. You know nothing about me." she snapped getting defensive. Though she just couldn't catch a break. Nysa knew she needed to calm down, but she just couldn't. Though Nysa got quiet as she listened to what he started saying.

     Nysa looked at him, "You don't know my mother. You don't get to talk about her." she snorted angrily. She never wanted someone like him to speak of her, but Lichanura just went back to talking about Eclipsetess. Nysa didn't believe him though, "You're lying. My aunt wouldn't hide something like that. Especially not to my mother." she snorted, "And she isn't scared of my uncle! If anything you should be scared of him!" she said clearly unhappy.

     Though Nysa pinned her ears more if she could that is and snorted as he took her book, "Hey! Give that back! That was my mom's!" she snorted shouting a bit, "What do you think you're doing!?" Nysa just had enough at that point. She was getting ready to attack him before he gave it back. She definitely had her mother's fighting spirit. That's for sure. Though Nysa glanced at the page before she closed the book and made it disappear with her magic so that no one else would take it. She was pretty much done.

     Nysa looked at him with anger in her eyes as she glanced at Esmeray, "I don't care about some rocks! I don't trust you! Any of you!" she said yelling a bit as she was just done with all of this. Though she quickly went silent when the king of stone landed. She froze, but not for long, "If we were worthless you would have turned us to stone with everyone else! What have you done to my cousin!?" she yelled angrily. At least she got to let out some of her anger.

     Though she went quiet and backed up as the king of stone went to approach Lichanura. Nysa watched Esmeray approach him, but she didn't know what to do. Apollo just snorted and spread out his wings protectively. Though they both watched what the king had done to Esmeray, but Apollo couldn't fight. Not really. He was just a pegasus, and he was never much for actually fighting..because of his father. He never wanted to turn into him..but he was afraid he would..

     Nysa couldn't do much either. She didn't know what to do except stand there and watch. She wanted to step in, but she just didn't know how to. Though she watched Smoke. For a second she mistakened her for her father. Nysa watched what she did to the king, but he fought back. "Smoke!" she yelled as she watched what he did to her. "No!" she yelled unsure of what to do, but she watched everything that happened.

     She watched the king of stone break free from the chains, but she could see that he was wounded..pretty badly at that. Nysa wasn't even sure what happened, but before she knew it Esmeray went to check on her before the others. At first Nysa wasn't so sure about it since she was trying to process things and since she was still mad, but she just looked at him her breathing a bit heavy.

     "I-i'm fine. Should be more worried about the others.." she said mumbling the last bit as she looked down. Though she just wrapped herself around him a bit, "I-I'm sorry...for everything..I just..I just..." Nysa paused as she stepped back for a moment, "It just feels like nothing has changed since we were foals..I just want to fit in I guess...I don't know.." she said as she sighed, but she didn't look up at Esmeray.

"Nysa, you'll always fit in, whether we treat you differently or not.. You mean more to us than you really think, we'll be here and be annoying for sure, but we only do it mostly because we want to make sure your alright. We'll always worry for the youngsters before anyone else, and that your always special. Whether indifferent or not, your like your mother, even though you sure do remind us of her.. Mostly because of how you act, but its not a bad thing, it mostly means you've inherited a strong sense to defend, you just need more time to think about everything, even what had happened, but we don't let you because we want you to tag along with us. We want to include you in more things than you think, we're actually trying to do so but some horses just call us out for it.. And are also mean for it, but we still do what makes you want to be happy. We'll even die to keep you safe and protected. And heck! I'll come back from death to just see you thrive how you want to thrive! I want to include you in everything we do, but some things are a little too brutual for you, but I'm actually thinking of including you in some fighting practice, like Minette was planning to do announce on your birthday, but.. We can't do anything without your strong magic, and we don't have plan but we'll grow with our newly found knowledge of everything. We'll make sure to include you in everything we do, it just might not be everything exactly because we're more rougher in playing around, mostly the reason why we don't include you in some cases, but Minette will always make sure that you have knowledge of what you do right when you two are together.. All the time sometimes, but we don't do anything with you if you go off to see Nature, mostly because we're happy to see you being yourself with her, and that we want you to be the happiest you could ever be." Esmeray told Nysa, his extent knowledge and wording could be turned into a book, because oh my god's he could read seventeen books and create 23! 23!!

Anyways, Esmeray also started to nibble on Nysa's forelock, he wanted to make sure she was happy, like a good stallion would do, though he did look around at the others as Smoke already was finished with healing the others as soon as Esmeray stopped talking to Nysa.

"See? Even when I talk I'm not included in things, nor even am sometimes.. I know how you feel, even Moonlight doesn't do anything with me and yet; we're siblings, I'm her younger brother but like a lead stallion to everyone, but I was the youngest before everyone else was born, so I know more about not being included in things than you could feel. And I'm not wrong as Azulia and the herd would agree, even Minette wasn't adopted nor even was close to seeing you, having Minette, moving, seeing Apollo at such an adorable age, unfortantely Minette and Apollo could be twins since they are the same age after all, but just by a month older and younger." Esmeray told Nysa again, he was right about being the youngest before Nysa or everyone else was introduced into the herd, including never fighting Phoenix nor hearing about Snow dying.

"Though there is one mare we would always tribute too, and that she had passed before you were born, and after we moved, but everyone kept it a secret because no one wants to put something like that on a foal nor a young mare like yourself Nysa.. Her name is Snow, she was actually really old, but she could've been a grandmother-figure to you, if her life wasn't cut in half, but she will always watch over the herd, you, our group.. No matter the difficulty, she'll always watch over us.. And teach us things as well.." Esmeray said, he looked up at the sky as Snow looked down with only happiness and a happy and honored way Esmeray couldn't have said it better.

     Nysa just continued to look down as her ears were lowered. She was still pretty mad, but overall she was just glad that they didn't lose anyone else. She didn't know what she would do if someone else would have turned to stone. There was no way she would have left to get away from everyone, but she didn't want to be alone. Seeing the king again reminded her of that. Lichanura was right on one thing though..she was scared.

     Though she listened to Esmeray as she sighed, "I don't want to be treated differently. I always feel like I can't do anything to help. To have a place.." she said. Nysa did look down a little more when Esmeray mentioned her mother, "Then if you know her then you would know she taught me to protect myself. Maybe not enough to fight someone like him, but I'm not weak Esmeray. I can handle myself." she said as she finally looked up at him.

     Nysa just sighed as she kept on listening to him. It was all the same thing. She's heard it plenty of times. Though she listened to him anyway, "I can fight already..well a little bit.." she said mumbling, "My uncle may or may not have taught me a few things without my mother knowing.." she said mumbling again. Namir was always protective, but he knew how to fight. Even without using his magic or wings most of the time. Though she would giggle at the fact that he was scared of heights.

     Even the thought of it made her giggle a little quietly, but she quickly stopped when she realized it. Though Nysa looked at the others then Esmeray, "If what Lichanura is right then I'll have to learn to be rough. Just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean I can't learn to be rough. Our families are stone Esmeray. Minette was horseknapped. We don't even know where she is or what he's done to her." she said looking back down.

     "I help Nature with the animals and the Isle because I feel some sort of a connection between me and the animals. I've learned different healing spells and healing techniques as well as other things. I can heal. Stealing my mother's spell book just to do what I offered was wrong. It's my mom's book Esmeray. How else do you think I was going to react? If you guys would have just asked I probably would have let you borrow it." she said as her tone got a bit rude towards the end, but she didn't appreciate that they stole from her. Not one bit.

     Nysa sighed, "With the way I'm treated differently and that you stole from me, it makes it hard for me to trust you guys sometimes. I may be the youngest, but age shouldn't matter. Maybe as foals it did, but we aren't foals anymore. This just needs to stop...I just need to know that you guys won't steal from me again or if we are friends..sometimes it feels like it's just pretending.." she admitted as she looked down.

     Though she looked back up at Esmeray, "I understand that some of you were the youngest before me, but you were only the youngest for a short time. I've been the youngest since the moment I was born. I'm the youngest in the entire herd. I've been the youngest in the entire herd for years. It's different Esmeray. All I want is to be like everyone else. Do the same things you all do."

     Apollo had been listening in to the conversation once everyone was alright. He still felt terrible about things, but he wasn't sure what to do at that point. Though he looked at Esmeray and snorted, "Hey!" he snorted, "I wasn't adorable!" he said denying it. Nysa just looked at him and giggled a bit. Apollo only rolled his eyes, "Me and Minette are friends not twins." he said before he thought it was best to stop listening in.

      Nysa just sighed as she was quiet for a minute, "Esmeray I know that horses don't live forever..maybe some, but not all. I understand that." she said as her tone got quiet and soft, "My grandparents are up there. My mom tells me about them sometimes..but she hasn't taken me to meet them.." she said getting off track for a moment. Though things just got quiet for a moment as Nysa sighed, "What do we do now? That stallion was wounded pretty badly. If we're lucky we won't be seeing him for a while.." she said, "Depending on whether or not he has a way to heal himself," she said. It was clear she knew what she was talking about when she talked about healing.

"Well why not go right now? We have a chance, and if Lichanura has been following us for quite awhile, he might be hiding the fact that he travels ALL the Isles, including the new ones, so we might have a guide on our side. Though we'll have to have wolves be our coats for a good while as well." Esmeray asked Nysa, he was patient with his wording and listened to Nysa, even asked her if she wanted to go right now to go save Minette.

"Of course we're not all knowing of how to fight, but rearing is also intimadating, that's what I did with Lichanura. I reared up high and kept my nervous and scared thoughts to the side, and just focused on you guys. I'll keep rearing til I die, even though I have hunch that you'll quickly know how to fight.. Just don't know when.." Esmeray told Nysa, though he stole Moonlight's hunches and how she predicts things, which made her mad but Raven kept the angry mare back and Smoke used a calming spell to help Moonlight.

"Now come on, we have someone to rescue, and even more important is that I heard that a Water Isle has been introduced back to the Isles, maybe that's where the Sea Ponies started before officially living in the undersea water.. And having amazing friends come from there." Esmeray said excitedly, he was excited and no doubt wanted Nysa to see the new Isles and experience them, though he was also excited to see the newer Isles himself.

"But I don't know if the statue moved, so me and Smoke will go and explore, while the rest of you guys go have fun exploring! I heard that the next Isle would actually be your and Minette's birth home, so that'll be fun. Though I was also told that the kingdom is in hiding mostly because our enemy is now all over every news to the Isles, except the new ones.. So we'll either deal with a ghost kingdom or barely any activity, but who knows? Though I think Eclipsetess told me that there was a friendly three headed creature that would be our ally to the end of the fight once. But she also told me once that the creature used to be a myth, but its all fact instead of fiction! Though I forgot the three heads names, but I'll probably remember when we meet them at some point.. Probably not after we head down to the next Isle." Esmeray told Nysa, he was obviously planning way ahead, but he knew that no one would have to deal with excitment for the time being, but he also wanted Nysa to go with the rest to explore her either ghost kingdom or barely any activity birth home.

     Nysa looked around, "Right now..? But what about the blizzard? The alpha hasn't said it's safe for us to leave yet." she said. From what she knew the blizzard hadn't stopped or even passed yet. Though she knew they were sitting ducks now that the king knew where they were. Whether or not he was badly injured. Either way Nysa was wanting to leave. This whole place just unsettled her a bit, but it was probably just all of her worry.

     Though Nysa thought about it and nodded. "The sooner we find Minette the better..and the sooner we can save everyone else." she said. Nysa did smile as she listened to what Esmeray said. Nysa just never had a reason to fight, so she just didn't know what to do. Though she came close to doing something when the king showed up with how mad she was, but she just stood there instead.

     Nysa did smile a bit though. She was doing a lot better than she was only a few minutes ago, "Oceanus may be able to help us. She's helped us in the past before, and I may have something that could prove to be useful." she said with a small smile. Solstice ended up giving her the object that Oceanus wanted them to keep. The one that would send out a distress call. Though Nysa wouldn't use it unless it came to it.

     Nysa wouldn't lie it would be nice to visit her birth Isle. She preferred it there then the Isle of Dreams, but she was born there. It was her home just as much as the Isle of Dreams. Though Nysa completely forgot about her mother's statue, "Even if it is still there, the blizzard could have affected it. It does listen to me...which is odd...but what's weirder is that it's alive.." she mumbled still unsure of how she thought about it.

     Apollo eventually walked back over, "If we're going to leave we better do it while we have the chance. That means enough chitchatting." he said proving a point. "The sooner the better. Just like Nysa said." Nysa nodded agreeing with him, "You two can talk once we're out of here. No idea how deep that snow is though." he said mumbling that last part. Nysa only gave him a bit of a look.

"I got it, now let's go, the wolves are already lined up. They probably suspected that we would already be leaving, since we are a group after all.." Esmeray said, he turned around and headed out as a wolf stood up and followed him out of the barrier and into the Isle.

Though Moonlight and Raven walked out as well, since Esmeray poked his head back into the barrier and gave everyone the OK before he stuck his back out, though the other four group members followed out as Lichanura stood by the side lines before following after.

But the alpha was actually watching and knew that the group would be leaving, he suspected it and ordered the same amount of wolves to help the group survive through the rugged blizzard, but he did go back inside his den before he watched everyone leave.


Outside the barrier, Esmeray was waiting until he Moonlight and Raven walk out into the blizzard, which surprisingly offered more eyesight than a regular blizzard, but Moonlight and Raven went ahead as Esmeray told them too. And that to follow their wolves since they could see better.

But Esmeray also told the four other group members the samething with their wolves too, though Lichanura came out and stood beside Esmeray since he had no wolf and wouldn't be trusted to be near the others that were now walking to the next Isle by themselves and their wolves, at least together to not lose each other.

Though Esmeray waited on Nysa and Apollo, the samething with Lichanura, the two stood beside each other as Esmeray's wolf got up to protect Esmeray from the blizzarding cold, and that Lichanura tried to summon a light for Esmeray to get and stay warm beside, but it didn't work but Lichanura gave his best shot with trying to summon something.. Even if it was just one thing from his broken horn..

     Nysa just giggled a bit as she nudged Apollo, "Come on..let's get out of here before someone has to drag us out of here." she said with a small tease. She seemed to be doing a lot better, but she looked around just double checking everyone was there. Though she noticed the wolves were lined up together, "Smart wolves.." she muttered underneath her breath, but she was ready.

     Though she let Esmeray go first just like everyone else did. She watched where he stepped out of the barrier as she looked at Apollo, "Are we supposed to follow or..?" Apollo shrugged, but then they noticed Esmeray poked his head back in. "Oh well there's our answer.." Nysa said as Apollo gave her a look, "Don't you look at me like that Apollo." she said pulling his feathers a bit.

     Nysa watched everyone leave before her and Apollo did the same. Though she hesitated for a moment. Apollo softly nudged her, "We'll be fine Nysa. The wolves will help. Once we get off this Isle travelling will be easier. If you're right then we won't be seeing that stallion for a while. Meaning we'll be safer for a while." he said reassuring her before Nysa walked through the barrier.

     Then Apollo did the same. Though it was hard to even see a thing. "It's a good thing these wolves have better eyesight in this blizzard." he said since he could hardly tell what was around him. Though he used his wing to try and keep the snow out of his face a bit. It didn't work too well, but it was something. Though Nysa was just focused on getting out of there. She wasn't too fond of the snow.

     "You know you can be a showoff with those wings of yours right?" Nysa said as she looked at him a bit since they were walking side by side together. Though Apollo just rolled his eyes. Though Nysa knew who his father was, and that Apollo wasn't much for fighting. "Apollo..you're not your father alright? You won't turn into him. He was bad from the start..you're nothing like him." she said wanting him to at least know that. Though Apollo didn't say anything as he brought his wing back to his side and looked down.

Esmeray looked up as he watched Nysa and Apollo walk out, two wolves following behind them as well, though Lichanura got to walking already as Esmeray trotted up to him, mostly to keep an eye out for him, though the other group members were already waiting as Lichanura began running to the other side, even though it was pretty far, Esmeray ran anyways as well..

Though Smoke was enjoying herself as she went wild with rolling around on the ground outside the Ice Isle, she was happy to be warm and excited to feel the warmth all over, though Moonlight and Raven were talking before saying goodbye to their new friends that were there to help keep them warm from the blizzard..


But as Lichanura ran and stopped onto the rock, Esmeray was coming but he was huffing and puffing as he stopped before walking out into the Isle of the Mountains, though Raven and Moonlight walked over to the group as they made head count but Esmeray turned around and waited for Nysa and Esmeray again..

Though Lichanura looked at Esmeray before he went exploring the Isle as the rest of the group remained together, the group waited as well, but Lichanura was just exploring by himself, and he preferred to exploring by himself. Though he did hear some splashing and laughter.

Esmeray turned his head to Lichanura, who was walking down a small slope that was going down to a beach, which Esmeray trotted after the stallion, but Lichanura was walking but out of nervousness and curiosity, then Esmeray got next to Lichanura as the two looked at who was splashing at the water, well two horses were..

     Apollo looked at Nysa before he looked back down, "You saw didn't you.." he mumbled as his ears lowered. Nysa gave a small nod. He sighed, "He hurt a lot of horses Nysa..my mother..your mother..even your uncle fought him. Not a lot of horses were sent to the mainland, but he was. I look just like him. I may not have any memories of him, but I look nothing like my mother."

     Nysa looked at him before she looked down, "You are not him Apollo. You're better than that. We all know that." she said trying to comfort him, "Now let's get out of here." she said once she realized everyone started to run. Nysa started to do the same, and soon Apollo. Nysa would admit that it felt good to stretch her legs. It felt good. Refreshing even..in a strange way. "Come on Apollo!" she said as he was a bit behind her, "I know you can go faster than that!" Apollo only smiled as galloped faster..with the help of his wings though.

     Nysa only rolled her eyes, "Why did I even say anything?" she said to herself as she kept galloping until they made it off the Isle. Nysa just slowed down and reared a tad bit. "That felt good! Haven't had a good gallop in a few days." she said feeling a lot better after that even if it was in the cold. Well now they were back at the Isle of Mountains. Nysa smiled happy to be back there.

     Apollo just galloped and spread out his wings entirely as he started to fly around, "Finally!" he said excitedly happy to finally fly around freely. Everyone was surely happier though, but you can't blame them. They were all still young. Though after a minute or two of flying around, Apollo went back to the ground, "Feels good to be back here. Like a second home. We at least know we'll be welcome here." he said, "Might see some old friends."

    Nysa just watched Apollo for a moment before she looked around the place. Though Apollo was already on the ground before she realized it, "Well this was my first home. I was born here remember?" she said messing with him as she stretched some after that run. "I'm sure it felt good to stretch those wings again. Get in the air." she said, "Sometimes I wonder what it's like." she said before looking over at Esmeray and Lichanura.

    Though Apollo just gave her a look, "You have no idea." he said, "When you were born the whole Isle had a celebration for an entire month. Everyone came to see you when they heard that you were born." he said. Nysa just rolled her eyes before she went to trot after the two stallions heading towards the beach. Wasn't long until she heard laughing and saw two horses as she stood only a few feet from the stallions. Well she was closer to Esmeray since she didn't trust Lichanura, but her curiosity always got the best of her no matter what.

"Nysa, I see your better now." Esmeray said, he mostly went back to watching Lichanura as the stallion was still curious of the two horses splashing around and having a good time, though Nysa could remember the main horse that was standing around and watching a month or two foal having fun.

Lichanura then just walked back to the herd since Esmeray wouldn't let him anymore nearer to the two horses, though the young foal that was having fun with the older horse then heard some muffling before looking up at the four horses that were watching the young foal and the older horse.

"Brother.. Why are they watching us? I thought you said that no one would be out for awhile?" the young foal ran behind the older horse, though Esmeray looked at the foal before the older horse, Esmeray heard the word "brother" but he just went to follow Lichanura.

"Hey there! I know you! You were meeting my grandma with your mother right?" the older horse looked up at Nysa, he remembered her, even Solstice, so this was Carcinus at a much faster age then normal sea ponies were at. Guess aging in sea ponies really do make a difference in genetics.

"Big brother!" the foal yelled, Carcinus laughed before nuzzling his younger brother, the foal must be aging slower since (their, I just don't remember when I confirmed the gender for the foal), though Carcinus seemed better to be getting along with the water.

Even before Carcinus's younger sibling even knew, Carcinus began walking up to Nysa, his little sibling following behind as Carcinus was the only one watching him and he was excited to remeet Nysa again, though he did wonder who the stallion next to Nysa was..

     Nysa looked at Esmeray, "I had a good run and this place is my home. My birth place. Why wouldn't I be?" she said before she went quiet. She probably shouldn't have said what she said last, but she couldn't unsay it. "The Isle of Dreams just isn't always the same." she said. Though she glanced at Lichanura still not trusting him. She wasn't sure if she should believe everything he said to her, but she didn't worry about that too much.

     Apollo couldn't help but to follow Nysa. Once something peaked her curiosity there was no way to stop her. Though he was curious too. Instead of running after her, he just flew instead for fun. Nysa looked at Apollo and tried to pull on his feathers, but Apollo pulled her mane before she could. Nysa gave him a look, but Apollo only had a proud smile on his face like always.

     Nysa then looked over to where she heard the voices. "Hm..that's odd.." she said to herself as Esmeray left to keep a close eye on Lichanura, "The one that seems to be older is..familiar.." she said as Apollo looked at her with an odd look. He had only briefly knew Oceanus. Just from when she visited. Though he didn't recognize either of the two sea ponies that were down there.

     Nysa was shocked when the one seemed to have recognized her as well, only he said something before she did. She knew he was oddly familiar, but she couldn't pinpoint why he was familiar. Apollo looked at her confused. Though as Nysa thought about it she started to remember, "My mom? Wait..I think I remember seeing you on the beach..." she said. Though the stallion seemed to start approaching her and Apollo.

     It wasn't until they got closer that she remembered him. "Carnicus? It's been so long!" she said getting excited to see an old friend as she trotted over to them. "I haven't seen you since that day on the beach. We moved back home not too long after that." she said before she looked at Apollo who had followed her. He just wanted her to be careful since he didn't know who these sea ponies were.

     "Apollo I'm fine. We've met before. When I learned to swim. We can trust him." she said reassuring him before she looked at Carnicus, "This is Apollo. We're in the same herd, but he's older than me, so he was in the herd before I came along." she said introducing Apollo a bit since Carnicus didn't know him. Well Carnicus probably didn't know anyone else from the herd.

     Apollo was a little unsure, but it was just his worry and him being cautious because of everything. "It's nice to meet you..I suppose.." he said a little uncertain. "Sorry..there's just a lot going on right now..hard to trust a bit right now." he said not to be rude if he was. Nysa just rolled her eyes reassuring him that they were both fine, and that they didn't have to be nervous.

     "Apollo don't worry. Carnicus is Oceanus's grandson. And I'm guessing this little one is as well. They're friends." she said to him as Apollo nodded. "Don't mind him. I'm sure you guys heard about what happened though.." she said with a sigh, "I don't remember the Isle of Mountains being this empty...the marketplace was always busy, but you guys are the only ones we've seen here so far..everyone's hiding..which is a good thing I guess."

"Heh yeah, and nice to meet you too Apollo, and this my little sibling Thalassa.. Hehe.. I forgot for a minute, anyways, yeah the place is barren, but they did it before with.. You know who before this new threat came.. But he's not as bad as the other one, way less brutual with things and not really a talker as well. But those things can still leave an indent on horses.. And sorry for bringing anything up that would bring back memories.. I'm not really good with keeping things a secret." Carcinus agreed with Nysa, he did look at Thalassa, the young foal didn't have as much golden shiny scales there were compared to Carcinus, but difference is always the reason to see new horses every day though!

"So come to enjoy your time before moving to the next Isle? I can see that your embarking on a mission, so I was just curious to ask, you know how us sea ponies are! Curious horses but with the intent on helping others!!" Carcinus asked before moving to make Thalassa admire her big brother for a minute or two, though Carcinus was somewhat excitedable for some horses that have way too much energy to keep altogether.

"Hey, what are those on your head and sides?" Thalassa asked Nysa and Apollo, the foal was curious of the horn on Nysa and the wings on Apollo, which was understandable as sa pony foals don't really have the chance to see the outer world from their watery home. I mean, their breed IS called Sea Ponies after all.

Anyways, Carcinus just giggled at Thalassa's question to the horn and wings, but Carcinus relaxed more and enjoyed his time with the three that were with him, including his little sibling Thalassa as well, which he did smile at her the young foal was still wanting to learn the way of how the Isles worked and provided for their horses..

     Apollo gave a small nod as Nysa smiled. Seeing an old friend seemed to get her mind off of some things. "It's nice to meet you Thalassa." she said softly before she looked at Carnicus as she sighed, "I only know a little bit about what happened between him and my mother. All of this is just revealing some of those secrets she kept from me, but is this new threat any better?" she asked as she looked down.

     Apollo looked at Nysa as he looked down a bit too, "Well your right on one thing..he isn't much of a talker.." she said looking at Carnicus again, "From what I know Dra hurt others..this stallion..he does the same but without making them suffer.." she said pausing, "Carnicus he turned everyone in my herd and the other herds to stone. My mother even. There's only a few of us that made it out."

     Nysa sighed as she looked at Apollo then Thalassa. She probably shouldn't have said anything with her right there, but she wasn't used to being around foals. "You did nothing wrong Carnicus..besides I'm used to secrets anyway." she said as Apollo nuzzled her side a bit to comfort her again. Which helped. "Well it is nice to be here again, but I wouldn't really say 'enjoy'. We don't even know where we're going..he took my cousin.." she said understanding his curiousness.

     Though Nysa smiled a bit as Thalassa asked a question. Apollo looked at Nysa as Nysa looked at him. They weren't expecting her to ask that question, but they didn't mind. "Well I'm a unicorn. We have horns on our heads. Though there are different kinds of horns. Mine just happens to be straight and long..which is a little unusual.." she said softly, "We can do all sorts of magic because of them." she smiled.

     Nysa then looked at Apollo, "Then Apollo is a pegasus or pegasi. They have wings that allow them to fly high up in the sky." Apollo spread out his wings as Nysa stepped to the side a bit, but he just flew up and flew around for a moment. Nysa watched him, but she just shook her head, "And there he is...showing off.." she said with a smile. Apollo only gave her a look as he hovered right next to her.

     "There's even horses known as alicorns which are actually from this Isle. They have both a horn and wings. My mother was one actually. My father is just a unicorn like me, but his nose is almost always in a book." she said with a small laugh. Though Nysa still wished she had wings sometimes. Sometimes she wanted to live up to her mother's name, but she was grateful for her horn and magic...was it strong like her mother's though? That part scared her a bit. What if everything Lichanura said was true?

     Though Apollo eventually went back to the ground as he looked at Nysa, "I don't think we should be away from the others for long. That stallion may be injured, but that doesn't mean we're safe. We should probably get back before Esmeray gets worried." he said looking back where the group was, "We just got here too, and it's been quite a long day today." he admitted.

     Nysa sighed and nodded, "Alright..you're right Apollo. I'll catch up with you in a minute." she said as Apollo flew off back to the others. Nysa then looked at Carnicus and his little sister, "I should probably get back. You can come join us for a bit. We'll be here for probably a day or so. If not I understand. Probably have to go back home anyways. It was good to see you again Carnicus. Crazy how much time has passed since we met." she said working up a small smile.

Carcinus smiled but he nodded at Nysa, though he watched Thalassa as she bounced around cutely, the little foal seemed to never make sense of things sometimes, but she didn't know what Nysa said the first time she began talking with Carcinus, though the little foal didn't mind as Carcinus began nudging Thalassa towards the ocean..

But Thalassa did what any other foal would do, including Carcinus when he was foal, which was go to the opposite direction and not come back, but Carcinus wasn't worried as it was just Nysa's group and that they were the only horses on the Isle since it was ghosted for awhile due to the king of stone.

"We are much alike.." Carcinus whispered, he then began trotting after Thalassa as she ran around and sometimes released water magic that were tiny speckles of water droplets that followed her, Thalassa had a different form of water magic it seemed like, though Carcinus used his magic to dump a pile of water on Thalassa to get her attention.

"Hey!" Thalassa giggled, the water refreshed her body and turned her into a sea pony for a tiny bit before going back to being in her horse form, Carcinus just laughed before trotting up to Thalassa, the young foal just wanted to play around on the Isle now.

But Carcinus got Thalassa to run back down to the beach, as Thalassa turned into water before controlling it to go down to the beach, Carcinus just smiled happily before trotting slowly down to where Thalassa was waiting at, which was somewhere in the water now..
