Alto looked at Crow "You're welcome Grimarya" Alto said as he heard Grimarya thank him for saving her life, he then shielded his eyes with his wings as Crow went to work healing Grimarya's wounds, he saw Crow faint he became concerned until a few minutes later Crow got up, he saw that Crow didn't seem as hostile now towards Ero maybe it had been her shoulder wound that had made her a bit bitter towards her herd mates both new and current, he wasn't sure why but he felt like a battle was coming one between three of the most vicious herds one in which they would be caught up in unable to escape but it seemed like it wouldn't be just yet, for now, they were safe from threats on all sides of the herd lands.

Fern walked over to Ero aware of the size difference "Ero can I ask you something if you don't mind" Fern asked the tall stallion, he seemed like he was caught up in his terrible past unable to escape it, she could see his mind was swirling with bad memories had this stallion ever had a good memory she wondered as her tail swished at flies that had landed on her coat, her dark green wings folded on either side of her, she wanted to help restore Ero's confidence after it had been so damaged by the Darklands herd even if that meant flying above him, she would do whatever it took to help Ero become the stallion he wanted to become not the stallion they had tried to shape him into.

Ero looked down at Fern "Yes you can ask me something I don't mind really" Ero said, he could see that the mare looked so confident which was something he hardly ever felt as he had never been allowed to choose peace over fighting, all he had ever experienced was harsh training that destroyed his confidence and took away his pride, he was an outsider here and would need to earn this herd's loyalty anyway he could, he knew Alto had seen his powers but none of the other herd members had, was Alto even gifted powers he wondered thinking back to the fight he hadn't seen Alto display any signs of powers did that mean that Alto wasn't a true-blooded pegasus, almost all true pegasus had been gifted powers from Alcor the great grand dam of all modern pegasus, she had come straight from Pegasus's son Legend a fiery black stallion with wings of the blackest night and was among one of the first legends a young colt or filly heard about.

Grimarya was just on the brink of unconsciousness, when suddenly she felt her wounds begin to mend, her bones sliding into place, and the exhaustion and pain washing away as a bright light filled the area around her. Suddenly it vanished, and she heard a thud. Snapping open her eyes, she saw Crow laying in front of her, and gave a worried gasp. Until the mare stood up. Giving a sigh of relief, she shakily got to her own hooves, taking a moment to flex her wings in amazement. Despite the battles she'd undertaken in the last 24 hours, she felt as good as new! Just a bit tired. Turning to Crow she suddenly gave her a hug. "Thank you Crow, Thank you" she said quietly, then pulled back, folding her wings over her back and looking over to the large stallion who was speaking with Fern. Now that she was healed, she could think straight once more, and she knew that she recognized him even more. Curious to hear what Fern would say, she couldn't help but step towards the two, her deep purple coat shimmering in the late sunlight as her white eyes gleamed.

Crow was taken aback but then said You are welcome to Grimarya, she then walked towards Alto " I see well I was gone you became closer to Fern I am not surprised she is a great mare minus the mind-reading ability that gives me the creeps" Crow said with a touch of humor, she would unfold her wings stretching them out well she watched Fern and Grimarya go towards Ero, she hated the Dark lands herd but she didn't hate Ero he wasn't like them he seemed more like her than anything else.

Alto looked over at Fern he was what you would call lovestruck, which he guessed Crow had already figured out based on what she had said, he wondered if he did have powers if he did wouldn't they have shown by now maybe he wasn't a true pegasus he thought to himself, but then he heard an angry pegasus in the distance, "This is were Alto went I'm sure of it he will pay for killing my brother that mare would have made our herd powerful but then he had to swoop in" said the angry voice, it sounded like a member of the outlands herd but why were they after him he was only protecting his herd mates.

Fern would ask her question "Ero are you related to Grimarya in any way you seem similar" Fern said, she had seen the stallion use his powers she could not deny the similarities between Ero and Grimarya both of them could summon portals, they were both strong in different ways one wanted to seek revenge on there old herd the other wanted peace among the herd lands both had valid reasons for joining the herd, maybe she really shouldn't poke around in other pegasi's minds it could become dangerous to her what if she found out a secret that would put them all in danger.

Grimarya, having moved closer to Fern and the pegasus stallion, gave a snort of surprise at her question, quickly speaking in a mildly scornful tone. "Sorry to put a damper on your fabulous theory, but I probably have dozens of siblings and half siblings" she said, suddenly bitter. "My life wasn't exactly based around families" she added, memories filling her mind of the life she had led before, the countless mares that had given her sustenance, and the old, battle hardened, fierce warrior that had trained her in the ways of their herd. She shuddered suddenly, shaking the memories away as they flashed through her mind, hoping Fern hadn't seen them.

Crow could pick up on Alto's unease she could hear an angry voice in the distance, it sounded like they were blaming Alto for a fellow herd mates death but that couldn't be true she hadn't seen Alto kill anyone, "Alto ...did you kill someone be honest" Crow said suddenly feeling nervous that this was an outlands herd member, she didn't want to remember facing that stallion called Ciran and then having her brother and his mate attack her, "Crow ...I did kill someone but only to protect our herd he was the one that had attacked Grimarya" Alto had said back, then the stallion came into there view it was Ciran she was sure of it and before she could alert the others, she felt a dart hit her "ALTO...." she said before blacking out from the dart.

Alto reared up trying to fight Ciran but he was much stronger and pinned him down placing his front hooves in such a way that it put pressure on Alto's back but not enough to injure him, "don't worry about the black mare she will be fine she will wake up in about an hour and not remember what just happened" Ciran said, which made Alto nervous "What do you want ...you didn't come here to kidnap me did you" Alto asked in that familiar rumbling voice of his, "No but I am going to take you to our herd council they shall decide your fate Alto of no herd" said Ciran as he let Alto get up but forced Alto to follow him to the outlands herd.

Fern knew that was probably true her own family hadn't been loyal either, he had brothers and sisters in almost all the other herds including the Darklands, which made finding out her family tree very difficult as she wasn't very close to her other siblings, but from the looks of Grimarya she probably wasn't either she then heard a voice that sounded like it had been Crow shouting Alto's name then a thud which must have been Crow collapsing on the ground.

Ero answered Fern's question "Yes I am related to the Lunox herd but I don't know if it is from my mother or my father's side" Ero said, he then could hear a mare shout the name Alto then a loud audible thud, he looked at Fern and the other mare, "You think we should check that out," Ero asked feeling worried that Alto was somehow hurt or missing, he quickly unfolded his wings and leaped into the sky his wings pumping in rhythm as he waited for them to join him in the air, he was larger then most pegasi so he had to be careful not to brush trees or foliage when he flew.

Grimarya heard the shout and spun, ears pricked and nostrils widening as she swiftly scented the air. A large wave of fear washed over her at the slightly familiar scent. The stallion. Almost tentatively she scented the air again, then realized that it wasn't quite the evil stallions scent, but still very similar. "Yes, now" She said shortly in response to the stallion's question, thrusting herself into the air with a strong beat of her wings and quickly soaring higher, her wingbeats thundering as she swept over the land, her heart thudding. If something had happened to Crow or Alto... the two had just saved her life, and she couldn't let anything happen to them. A moment later she could see the dark form of Crow on the ground and swooped down, landing expertly and trotting to her. "Crow, Crow, what's wrong?" she asked nosing her and then drawing a quick breath as she saw the dart. Carefully she set her teeth against it and pulled it out, spitting it out to the side and nudging her again. Only Crow had any clue of what had happened, although a glance around told the dark purple pegasus that a large stallion had landed not too far off from the mare. And Alto wasn't there.

Crow woke up after Grimarya pulled the dart out "What happened I don't remember what happened a few minutes ago," she said, then she noticed that Alto was gone, but where and who took him she thought as she got to her hooves trying to shake off the effects of the dart, it wasn't like her to forget vital information related to there small herd, she felt terrible that she had let something happen to one of her herd mates, she looked at the ground in front of her two sets of hoofprints one larger and one smaller she knew one of the sets was Alto but who was the other set.

Alto was forced to follow the outlands stallion he couldn't escape as he had seen this stallion shoot a dart at Crow, so he would have to wait and see what would happen it wasn't long before they reached the Outlands herd border, where he was then shoved rather rudely onto a platform where thick ropes magically bound him so he couldn't move or fly away, "ALTO OF NO HERD YOU ARE HERE ON TRIAL FOR THE MURDER OF LYCANOS OF THE OUTLANDS" spoke the voice of an over stallion, he turned his head to see a large dapple grey pegasus with large smoke grey wings he looked at Alto rather aggressively as if he was a prisoner rather then on trial, "I did nothing wrong that stallion you called Lycanos attacked one of my herd members and badly injured her it was just sheer luck he didn't kill her" Alto said to the outlands herd his voice carried through the pegasi gathered around him.
