Crow
Crow looked at Grimarya she then went to work on freeing herself from the ropes on her wings she winced as the ropes dug into her feathers it took her a few minutes but she broke free she looked at Epsilon in the distance he would never come with her he had his own life now she somehow managed to fly off keeping her weight off her injuried shoulder she gave a look of thanks to Grimarya and started to fly back towards where Alto,Fern and Apollo were she was used to flying long distances but it didn't help that she was badly hurt.
Alto
Alto was puzzled by Apollo's sudden change in behavior but didn't question it he lowered his head to graze but suddenly raised his head hearing the sound of wingbeats whoever they were he needed to be on his guard it could be Crow but it could also be a enemy pegasi he looked towards where Grimarya had dissapered please let Crow and Grimarya both be alright he thought to himself.
Fern
Fern would listen to the wingbeats that were fast approuching it sounded like a large pegasi could Grimarya have found Crow she thought as she continued grazing her green wings were folded on either side of her she became invisible and out of curiousity stopped grazing and followed Apollo from the way he was acting something wasn't right.

Grimarya watched the mare respond to her words with a strong burst of energy, pulling the ropes off herself and thrusting herself into the air, with a single backwards glance. And then Grimarya almost slapped herself in the face with her wing. Why hadn't she remembered? She had teleportation!!!! Well it was too late now, the best she could do would be to keep the pegasi ahead of her occupied long enough for the wounded mare to fly her way back to the herd. Leaping into the air she sped towards the pegasi, pulling up short just above them and swinging her wings in front of her, neighing powerfully as a supernova blast thundered from her feathery wings. The bright light burst onto the ground in the middle of the group, with the effect of a bomb. The repercussion blasted Grimarya backwards, head over tail for quite a few feet before she managed to find her balance again, desperately hoping it had been enough to ground the pegasi.

Apollo
-“God-“ Apollo sighed, pinning his ears back slightly and raising his head. He looked straight into her eyes, those cold green eyes. Those green eyes, those helpless green eyes who looked at him when he found her, those loving green eyes when they traveled together. And now, those hateful green eyes when they met each other again. Apollo shook his head, revealing he was staring. “What are you doing here?” He asked, tilting his wings upwards slightly.
Valerie
-She snorted softly, slashing her tail in anger. Valerie raised her head slightly, still looking at him with a hateful, glare, watching his every move. Why was he staring at her? Was he even staring at her? You couldn’t really tell since his eyes were just white orbs, but still. The sun was setting and she knew how dangerous it could be around these parts as night. Maybe she should just go with him? He had 2 other friends anyways. They could protect her and she could protect them, if she was able to trust them Ofcourse. “I could ask you the same thing.” she hissed.
Apollo
-“I found new friends, somewhat a herd.” He responded, dropping his head slightly and relaxing his wings, showing he wasn’t planning on hurting her. “You could come with me…?” He offered, turned his head to look at Alto and Fern, who were still grazing together. He struggled keeping back a smile as he heard her answer and turned around, walking back through the bush and to his friends.
Valerie
-She scoffed and rolled her eyes as he said that, finding it pathetic that he took that long to find new friends. 1,5 years after they broke up, he found friends. Honestly, she wasn’t surprised. He lived in a lonely cave, with the only visitor being that eagle. But still, she felt more relaxed when he offered her to join the herd. She wanted too, she wanted some friends. “Fine” she sighed before following him through the bush and over the field, towards his friends.

Crow
Crow landed a short distance away from the others she felt her shoulder give out and she fell her black wings folded on either side of her big body "I'm back" she said looking towards the others she was glad to be back but Grimarya would need help that herd was to dangreous for one pegasus to take on she had barely survived all her thoughts were on Epsilon and the Outlands herd as well as Grimarya who was still fighting the herd .
Alto
Alto galloped towards Crow he was amazed seeing the big black mare he noticed the terrible wounds on her "Crow ..what happened to you where's Grimarya" he said as he greeted Crow by touching noses with her he was worried but not for Crow he turned around to see Apollo approuching them a mysterious mare seemed to be following him .
Fern
Fern galloped towards Crow and stood near Alto she turned visible not wanting Alto to freak out if she brushed against him she stamped her hoof in anger seeing Apollo with a strange mare why was he with her isn't he at all worried about Grimarya she thought there was a sadness to Crow's eyes one she herself had seen she read Crow's thoughts it was about a pegasus called Epsilon and finding her birth herd

Grimarya gave an angry cry as a set of hooves slammed into her back, slamming her into the ground with a thud. She groaned as all her muscles screamed in pain. Two battles in one day was really pushing her limits! But if she could just get in the air, she could get a portal going... Managing to focus on the shadows surrounding her and the unknown pegasus she forced them upwards, and into the pegasus's face, blinding him momentarily. With a terrified snort he reared, and she scrambled out from under his hooves right before he landed again, the shadows disappearing. Forcing her aching wings down she thrust herself into the air, barrel rolling as another brown pegasus swept by her. How many were there? Was it an entire herd? With a groan she thrust her wings again, zooming downwards and grinning slightly at the crash that echoed above her as the two pegasi crashed into each other from opposite directions. Soaring just above the treeline she tried to gain some altitude for her portal, but her wings were already beginning to tremble. Forcing them back, she began twisting them in almost a figure eight pattern gritting her teeth as her bones grated against each other. A wobbling shape began to appear before her, slowly solidifying and clearing. She could see them all standing in the field, Crow safely returned speaking with Alto, Fern standing nearby... but she couldn't see Apollo. With a relieved neigh she plunged for the portal, safety in sight. And then suddenly an enormous force slammed into her side, and she heard her wing crack. A jolt of pain ran up her spine and she screamed as she plummeted towards the forest floor, a dark pegasus leering at her as it dove after her. Behind him her portal wavered and then burst with a loud judgemental crack, her only exit shut. Closing her eyes she let herself fall limply, knowing she didn't have long left. A downed pegasus, was a dead pegasus after all.

Apollo
-Apollo let out a relived sigh as he saw Crow was back, glad she was still alive. It was pretty much her own problem by flying away, but still. Besides, this was somewhat his new herd. He sped up his pace a little bit, now walking quicker. The stallion looked back, seeing if Valerie was still following him. It would be a little strange for him to suddenly introduce someone else to them, but he hoped they would be fine with it. Grimarya would probably have the most trust issues, he thought. Speaking about Grimarya, why did she take so long? Crow was back, so she should be too. Whatever. He hoped she came back soon. “You’re back” Apollo said with a slight smile, his ears pinned back as he remembered how crow went off at them before.
-Valerie followed Apollo, keeping 2 stride lengths between them. She didn’t want to admit it, but she thought it was nice of him to let her into their ‘herd’ as far as she could see, there weren’t much. There was a black leopard, probably a stallion. A black mare, she seemed injured? And a Tobiano mare. She had thought there would be more, but she didn’t care much about the size of the herd, but about what they could do. The outlands was a fierce and dangerous place to be, it took skill to survive here. She lifted her head as Apollo stopped, Standing just behind him, her ears pinned back slightly, not wanting to make a bad impression.

Crow
"Alto ..another herd held me captive I barely escaped alive ..it was all thanks to Grimarya that I survived but she needs help that other herd is highly agressive" Crow said looking at the black leopard stallion she looked at the strange mare that followed Apollo she picked up on Fern's sudden nervousness "I'm sure she won't harm us Fern you can relax" she said trying to calm Fern down.
Alto
"I will go and help Grimarya you don't have to ask me twice" Alto said looking at Crow he was furious that this herd had hurt Crow but he was also worried for Grimarya he looked back at Fern "I will be back Fern I promise" he said as he touched noses with Fern he then breifly touched noses with Crow and then looked at Apollo "Keep them all safe Apollo I will be back with Grimarya" he said looking at Apollo he then took off and flew past all that was familler to him till he reached the Outlands he looked for Grimarya praying she was alright .
Fern
"Are you sure Crow she looks anything but peaceful" Fern said looking at Valerie she pinned her ears back Crow may trust this mare but she wasn't going to there was something she didn't like about her the way she was acting towards Apollo. Fern then touched noses with Alto "be careful Alto for me" Fern said to herself as she watched Alto take off and fly way out of there view.

Grimarya
Grimarya smashed through the trees, slamming onto the forest floor with an echoing thud. She let out a pained, wavering groan as her eyes fluttered open. She was laying on her side, her most likely broken wing tucked underneath her, and every inch of her body was screaming. She hadn't realized how badly the fight from earlier had affected her, and how her strength was sapped. Weakly leaning against a tree trunk she pulled herself to her feet, stumbling slightly and weaving as she attempted to walk a few steps. Suddenly a whoosh of wings almost bowled her over from behind, and she turned, full of dread and anger as the black pegasus grinned maliciously at her. "Well well, you've got yourself in a bit of trouble now, haven't you pretty mare?" the stallion nickered, his voice slithering out of his muzzle. She stumbled back a few more steps, attempting to put distance between this dangerous stallion and herself. As she did so her wing dragged uselessly on the ground, and the stallion watched her, his head tilting to the side. "My my, the pretty thing's got her wing all banged up! That really was careless of you" he said, his voice lowering as he took another step towards her. "Yeah, well you're wing will be the one dragging if you put one feather on me" she snarled, trying to keep her vision straight and voice strong. But the stallion could see through her ruse. "Mmm she's got some fire! I like that..." he said, his voice trailing off in a whisper as he began walking steadily towards her. "Come come now, i won't hurt you, you're far too unique my sweet dark mare" he hissed, his voice lowering as his eyes glittered darkly at her. And then her rump banged into a large tree, and she realized too late, she was trapped. And there was no one coming to save her. She was alone.
(hopefully this isn't too dark xD)

Apollo
-Apollo was quite shocked when hearing Crow’s little story, yet also wasn’t too surprised by how aggressive some herds could be out here. He swished his tail before turning his head to Alto, hearing his suggestion. Would Alto be strong enough? Did he even have any powers? There were many questions floating around in his head, but it was already to late, Alto had flown off. Apollo felt a slight pressure now he had to protect 3 others, even though he thought most of them could handle themselves just fine. After shaking of the thought of something happening, Apollo started grazing, forgetting to introduce Valerie.
Valerie
-She huffed softly, watching the stallion fly off. If they keep having Pegasi flying off, could they have more? They said something about a ‘Grimarya’, meaning there was another one. But, why did the stallion say that to Apollo? Did he have a new one already? Valerie scoffed before turning her back on Apollo and starting to graze, the three blades that were replaced by robotic wings once in a while were shining softly in the setting sun. The sun was about to sink behind the mountain, meaning it will be way darker all of a sudden. Did they even have a place to stay? Shelter? Who knows what walks out here at night.

Crow
Crow got to her hooves slightly gritting her teeth she couldn't use her healing powers with her wounded shoulder she looked at Fern somewhat confused by her sudden interaction with Alto she then looked at the strange mare she was diffrent from all the others her wings were unusal she would introduce herself later to the strange mare she then started to daydream about her life as a foal "Mom why can't I stay with brother" she said in a foal like voice "This herd won't accept the weak your no good to us" Crow's mother said in a cold cruel voice.
Alto
Alto landed in the forest he followed hoofprints he was sure belonged to Grimarya but there was another set this one bigger more like Crow's size he galloped following the hoofprints before he found Grimarya and this strange stallion he was full of rage "Hey you leave her alone why not fight me insted" he said as he reared up he unfolded his wings trying to look as threatning as possible he waited for the stallion to do something stupid his muscles poised and ready to fight he didn't care that he could possibly die all that mattered was that his herdmates were safe.
Fern
Fern left Crow alone not wanting to say something she might regret she looked towards the mountains never again will I be alone she said to herself as she lowered her head to graze a terrible memory from her past came into her mind "How dare you let a stranger onto our herdlands never again Fern will you be a member of the Sungrass herd" said the overstallion he then gave a signal to attack all Fern could remeber is the various kicks and bites she recived as she flew past the border all her herdmates she thought were her freinds turned into her enemies .

Grimarya
The leering stallion came closer, and ever closer. Grimarya tried to scramble around the tree blocking her escape, but she was took weak and confused to even see where she was going. And then suddenly the stallion was right in front of her. Using her last bit of power she raised her good wing and sliced it across the stallions face, the movement causing her to scream in pain. The stallion, on the other hand, roared in anger as her feathers left sharp cuts slashed across his face. His eyes were closed in pain, his teeth gritting in anger. And then he opened his eyes, which were flaming with rage. "I'll teach you not to try something like that again" he muttered through his teeth, bringing his own wing up to brush the blood away from his muzzle. Darkness was beginning to close in on Grimarya's vision, and she knew she wouldn't be able to fight off the stallion. Just when it seemed that there was no hope for her, a familiar voice cut across the dark forest, and there was Alto, wings flared and eyes burning with righteous anger. The stallion spun around to face this new threat, automatically taking up a defensive stance in front of who he now considered his mare. "Oh my my, who's this now?" he asked patronizingly, his words meant for Grimarya. "Your mate perhaps?" he continued, hissing with laughter, then directing his full attention to Alto. "Well, my apologies, but she no longer belongs with you, or your herd, if you have one. I suggest you turn around and forget you ever knew her, or you'll much regret it." he said, his territorial voice going low.

Crow
Crow would snort "You think I'm weak now mom you were never really my mother just a mare with a cold heart" Crow said to herself as she started to lower her head and graze, she would then remeber Epsilon her brother "Why did you stay bro you could have followed me there is so much I need to tell you" Crow said mainly to herself, she knew Fern was reading her mind but she didn't care her mind was filled with anger but she was also sad knowing she would never again meet her brother, she would start to walk over to Fern curious about that interaction between her and Alto.
Alto
Alto was furious he wasn't going to let this stallion take Grimarya without a fight he reared up his hooves which were now sharp and deadly weapons were poised to attack, he dared the stallion to fight him he even darted in and bit the bigger stallion before darting out of the range of his teeth and hooves, "Let her go I won't say it again" he said as whirled around and kicked the stallion drawing blood as his hind hooves cut into the bigger stallion's coat, he wanted to enrage the stallion make him chase him so Grimarya could get away the stallion looked annoyed but he could see anger starting to arise in his expression.
Fern
Fern snorted as Crow walked towards her she had read the big black mare's mind she knew how angry the mare was but she could also sense that she was hurting on a emotional level, "What do you want Crow" she asked the mare still somewhat angry that Crow didn't see the bad side to Valerie, "Are you in love with Alto I..I saw the way you looked at him" Crow said she was suprised that the mare had seen that "....Yes I love him he is so sweet and brave" Fern said back her tone was more relaxed and less angry she had to admit the big black mare was brave too she had fought every step of the way when that foreign herd had captured her.

Grimarya gave a weak, yet still condescending smile to the dark pegasus. "You don't stand a chance against him, He's taken down more pegasi than you or I have combined" she said, hoping to insert a presence of danger from Alto. The stallion snarled at her "Quiet, You know nothing" he said scornfully. Suddenly Alto swooped down, biting the stallion in the moment of distraction that she had gained him. The stallion trumpeted in anger, then in pain as Alto's hooves sliced his coat. "HOW DARE YOU? THE MARE IS MINE!" he roared maniacally, shooting himself into the air and heading straight for Alto.
Grimarya took one last glance behind her, then began limping away through the forest. She had seen what Alto was doing, baiting the stallion, and she knew her only chance was to get away. If she could get back to the herd fast enough, she could maybe get Apollo to go help Alto as well! Which did beg the question... why hadn't Apollo come to save her? She had thought she had felt something between them earlier... and he was the one with the powers. Shaking the thought away, she dizzily stumbled onwards, hopefully heading in the correct direction.

Crow
Crow would look at Fern "You think Alto will be okay that foreign herd injuried me pretty badly" Crow asked Fern, she could see Valerie in the distance but she didn't feel like getting to know her there was something she didn't like about the way she was acting towards Apollo had they once been mates she wondered ,"Who's Epsilon you keep mentioning him in you're thoughts" Fern said back she wasn't sure what to say but then she knew exactly what to say "He is my brother ...and the only one that tried to stop my mom from taking me away" Crow said as she was brought back to the last time she had seen her brother, "The herd I was born into ...only valued one thing the strong they never saw me as strong they saw me as a weakling hardly worth their protection....I was broken when the mare I thought was my mother abadoned me..." Crow said she hated to tell anyone her past as it wasn't a happy one.
Alto
Alto would dodge the big stallion he was slower which Alto could use to his advantage "Be safe Grimarya " he whispered as he was just overhead of the mare he had to get him away from Grimarya and back to the herd, he screamed in pain as the bigger stallion's teeth bit into his neck he gave a good bucking kick which sent the bigger stallion cartwheeling "You are way out of you're league if you think she wants you no mare will respect you for hurting them" Alto said, the stallion snorted "SHE IS MINE ...I will have her" he said as he rushed Alto he dodged him just in time and then reared up his hooves slammed down on one of his wings, the stallion screamed in pain and then started to fall extermely fast "I better go now ..I can't risk more pegasi flying my way I'm not strong enough to fight multiple enemies at once two maybe but not ten" Alto said as he flew high into the clouds, his job as a flight instructor had it's advantages as he could do complex manuvers which bigger stallions and mares couldn't easily pull off he would use it if he needed too.
Fern
Fern would listen to Crow "Alto will be fine you do know he was a flight instructor right he can outsmart them" Fern said answering Crow's question, she was stunned learning that Crow had a brother called Epsilon "I'm so sorry Crow I had no idea you're birth herd had been like that but at least you're stronger for it and besides who needs them" she said as she started to groom Crow in a freindly gesture of peace, she noticed the wounds on her this mare had been through so much "When do you think you can heal yourself again Crow" she asked as she looked back at Valerie.

Grimarya looked up as she heard Alto's scream, then saw him send the large stallion spinning through the sky. Good. She gave a weak, defiant smile, then continued limping through the woods, her breath rasping in her throat from her wounds and the hard fall, her wing dragging uselessly on the ground beside her. Since she'd taken her portal to get to Crow, she had no idea how far it was back to the herd. How far had Crow flown? Wearily she continued trudging, trying to keep her mind focused as her vision blurred and wavered.
