Fire Runner

@@jdor11, "hmmm... let me check my bag..." Autumn said, searching through her saddle bag. "oh! looks like i still have some stuff....the pelt of a bear, some iron ingot, and... oooo! some ebony ingot." Autumn said with a smile. "Now... lets get started on this armor." Autumn said, pouring the items in her bag on a table.

@@jdor11, Autumn followed Striker. "Good... It looks like it might still be in one piece. I'm planning on making some armor for Snowy out of these dragon scales so Snowy won't get burnt that bad anymore." Autumn said, looking at Striker. "do you think you might be able to help me with it?" she asked.

Unholy looked up at Encore with a rather frazzled look upon her face. "Yes, please help me. You see, I have no idea where my room is, and my papers are just printed. Ont top of that, none of these carts are marked with braille, so i can't navigate through them." Unholy said, in a slight panic. "Can you tell me where my room is?" She asked, handing Encore her papers.

Autumn trotted over to Snowy and began placing more of the paste from earlier on the little fox's skin. Fur had sprouted back in some places, and his heart beat was now stronger. "Thats a good boy, you'll be back to normal in no time." She whispered in her fox's ear then trotted back to Striker. "Does anypony know if the forge is still in one piece?" She asked.

Unholy stumble through one of the carts. "man... i hate trains." she muttered. Unholy trotted through the cart and took a seat on... the... well... on the floor, but she thought it was the seat. "gosh... this seat is uncomfortable..." she mumbled as she took her papers out of her saddle bag. "gosh, I wish they sent this to me in braille... I have no idea where my room is." she whispered half to herself.

Autumn froze to a flutter. "who are you?" she whispered half to herself. she twitched her tail and looked around, she couldn't see anypony anywhere. She started moving forward again, scanning the horizon. "man... its hot..." She muttered, wiping the sweat from her brow.

Autumn could hear the flying instructor all the way down the hall. "Gosh... I'm glad I'm not a student here." Autumn muttered as she sat down at her desk. "I guess I can just draw until I have a class to teach..." she said to herself. pulling out drawing pad, she began to sketch a pony, or what looked like a pony... it had such odd button eyes...

@@jdor11, "well, after that, the orphanage sent me to the insane asylum because they thought i was the one into black magic... i escaped from there ad have been living on my own with Snowy ever since." Autumn said, looking at the fox resting on Striker's back. "I'd prefer to keep my scars... i know this sounds strange, they have a happy memory to them too... but thats another, much longer story." Autumn said with a bit of a laugh. "gosh, I feel like I'm talking your hind leg off." Autumn giggled. (OCC: HAHAHA! Get it? talking the hind leg off a horse )

Autumn didn't move. "d-did you say f-fire?" Autumn stammered to say.S he began to shake in her chair, she had always had a deep fear of fire, ever since the accident. Autumn pulled her leg warmers up to cover her old burn scars. She watched as smoke started to trickle out of a room in back.

@@jdor11, Autumn followed Striker, trotting up next to him. "I bet you are probably curious about my fear of fire... I don't particularly enjoy telling this story... but i might as well. Back when I was a little filly in the orphanage, a group of older ponies played a trick on me. they were sticking their hooves into the fire and pulling them back out, unburnt. I thought it was amazing. so i obviously wanted to try too. They told me that they had to pour the magic liquid on me first so it would work. They poured something, i don't recall what is was, but it was highly flammable. when i stuck my hooves in the fire..." Autumn trailed off, looking down at her bracers that were covering the scars. "well... i think you can guess the rest... it turns out that those ponies were using black magic to keep themselves from getting burnt... dirty, filthy tricksters." Autumn finished saying with a loud, exasperated snort.

@@jdor11, "Yes, and thank you again." Autumn said, putting the rest of the paste in her saddlebag and gently picking Snowy up and setting him on Striker. "So, you said you were an assassin... why did you quit? if you don't mind me asking." Autumn said, trotting next to Striker.

@@jdor11, Autumn bounced over to the dragon. "Dragon scales..." She muttered, pulling some scales off of the dragon's body. She look a look down at the dragon's claws. Nah... i don't want that.... Autumn took out her dagger and cut into the dragon, taking out a bit of the dragon's fat." Dragon fat is for burns..." She took a look at the dragon's eyes and noticed some water in the tear-duct. "A dragon tear will clear up your skin..." She muttered to herself, grabbing a vile and quickly filling the vile with the tear. Autumn ran over to Snowy, who was still laying on the table. Autumn pulled out a wooden bowl from her bag and mixed the tear with the dragon fat until it turned into a paste. She mixed in some of the left over snow then began to apply it to Snowy's body. (OCC: for the people who have no idea what im quoting about... im talking about a very old disney movie that had this song in it: link )

@@jdor11, "Oh Striker! thank you so much!" Autumn said, tears of joy rolling down her face. She flew at Striker and Tackle hugged him. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said happily, hugging Striker more. Autumn let go of Striker and smiled at him, "Thank you for saving Snowy." Autumn said happily.

@@jdor11, "theres some clay in my saddle bag!" Autumn called, tossing the bag at Striker before flying off. "okay... okay... white flower, gold tips... white flower, gold tips... white flower gold-" Autumn said as she rant through the forest. She stopped when she saw the flowers and quickly picked them. She took some bark from a pine tree and dropped it out next to Striker. Autumn dumped out the contents of her saddle bag then flew off toward the mountain. It got really cold as she got closer to the area where snow was. Autumn landed, shivering intensely as she climbed closer and closer to the snow. "its cold here without Snowy..." She muttered, pushing onward. Finally, she reached some snow. she filled her bag as quickly and as full as she could. Autumn rushed down the mountain and back over to striker. "There, thats all the snow i could carry." Autumn said panting, and still shivering.

@@jdor11, Autumn sniffed then wiped the tears from her face and stood up." Alright, what do you need?" Autumn asked, a determined look creeped onto her face. "I have a few things in my saddle bag, but i can try and find the rest." Autumn added, looking Striker straight in the eyes. Wow... he has beautiful eyes...

Autumn was speechless... she slowly walked up to Snowy. Snowy was extremely burnt, its white fur completely gone. It laid unmoving on the ground. "S... Snowy?" Autumn whispered, laying nest to the body of the white fox. Tears began welling up in her eyes... then she completely lost it. Autumn sobbed, covering her with her hooves.

"Hello? Is somepony there?" Autumn called, starting to trot towards the figure. Autumn started trotting faster and faster, until she was in a full on sprint. "Wait up!" she called as she lifted of the ground and started flying. She dashed after the figure as fast as she possibly could.

@, (OCC: I didn't know we couldn't use shouts yet... sorry ) Autumn looked down at Snowy who was currently climbing down Autumn's neck and towards the ground. Snowy quickly nodded at Autumn before charging toward the dragon. Snowy leaped onto the dragons back and bit down on one of the dragon's wings.All Autumn could see was a small ball of whit fur desperately hanging on to the dragon's wing.

@@jdor11, @, @, Autumn took the dagger. "I'm afraid of the fire... not the dragon." Autumn said with a smirk ans she jumped over the cart and towards the dragon. Of coarse, Autumn once again didn't think her plan through completely and ended up almost face to face with the dragon. Now flying into a panic, she said the first thing that came to her... "RAAN MIR TAH!" no sooner then the words left her lips, Snowy had let out a deep growl, the fox's mind focusing on the dragon... then, it happened... A bear came crashing out of the woods, full speed, towards the dragon.

Autumn grabbed her bow out of her saddle bag but froze where she was standing when she saw the fire. Her eyes were full of fear as she back up, bumping into Striker. @@jdor11, @, "Ffffiiiirrrreeee!" Autumn screamed in complete and utter panic, diving behind the cart, trying to get away from the fire.

Autumn paced back and forth in her art class room. "Where are all the ponies?! is nopony in my first period class? I need to teach somepony... or i won't get paid.. and if i don't get paid... i'll grow broke... and if i go broke... i'll be fired... oh dear oh dear oh dear..." Autumn rambled as she began fluttering back and forth.

Autumn felt helpless as she fell through the abyss. She stretched out for the door, grabbing onto the handle of the door, not letting go. She felt completely helpless in the darkness she was now tumbling through. She tried to turn the door knob and open the door.

Autumn sniffled and stood up, wiping the tears from her eyes. Snowy climbed back around Autumn's neck and snuggled around her. Autumn began to calm down. "I'm sorry... That was a little dramatic." Autumn said, then twitched her ear. "Uh... did you guys hear something?" She asked, wide eyed with worry.

Autumn pulled out a giant jar of macaroni noodles out of her saddle back and set it on her desk. "Gunna do some macaroni art, its gunna be fun..." Autumn sort of sang, then went on to humming. She pulled out glue and set a bottle on every desk, then set a piece of paper on the desks next to the glue. Autumn got some plastic bowls from her desk and poured the macaroni noodles into the bowls then set a bowl on each desk. "There, they're all ready to go." Autumn said with a satisfied smile.

Autumn pinned her ears back and laid down, covering her face as she started crying. She lifted her head. "STOP FIGHTING!" She yelled, what appeared to be a spark of fire flickered in her eyes. Snowy jumped back next to Autumn, growling at the other ponies. Autumn at this point was laying on the ground, sobbing heavily.
