Lightning Bliss

@, @, Bliss was fascinated and found it ironic with Royal's story. It all made so much sense. Granted she didn't approve of others selling each other out for their own issues...but better reason to do it then for freedom? She couldn't bring herself to be suspicious or angry with him anymore. She didn't really think it was her sense of 'peace' that sparked her to think so, it just felt like it was common sense to forgive and forget. Their situation would benefit better after all if they worked together. But it was Hurricane's saracastic remark that drew her away. She blinked at the black mare... Understandably she had been through a terrible time. The Keeper inflicted a lot of mental torture on her when he couldn't get to her own mind thanks to Clover...But still...she was surprised at her sarcastic remark at Royal's romantic story. "Well..." she turned away from Hurricane to look at Royal. "I'm guilty once again of judging you on first impressions Royal... I apologize," she bowed her head to him as Artemis came to tuck himself in under her new grown wings. "You did appear to be a con artiest from the start, I never did take you for a married stallion. I hope when all this is over you'll get back to your mare and your casnio, it sounds like a lovely place just fit for you."

@, "It really is amazing..." Bliss said as Royal concluded his music playing, "I was much older when I lost my dad, he had a heart attack while out on the job. But I can't imagine losing him so horrifically as Artemis did losing his mother... And yet look at him..." she observed him sitting there with all the curiosity of a child. Full of life and wonder. @, "OOOOOOOOH!!!" Artemis peeped as Royal performed his amazing card tricks. His eyes widened with magical wonder. Even Bliss couldn't help but be amazed by the talent. Both their eyes equally showed amazement and awe. Finally after he concluded with pulling the Ace of cards from behind Artemis' ear, the young hippogryph snatched it eagerly and examined the thin paper card. He twirled upside down, flipping it over and over, trying to figure out how this stranger was able to do such an amazing feat. "Card? Card?!" He squwaked to Bliss and ran past Nimbus who had been watching as well. "Card Blissy! Card!" He squawked again. "Yes that is a card, a lucky one I think," she said looking at his prize. "Better hold on to it my little Artemis, might bring you good luck."

@, "Then we'll head out in the morning." Bliss smiled and noded back to Royal, then proceeded to bury herself under some snow to help insolate for heat near the fire. Meanwhile Artemis poked out from under her, tilting his head in curiosity to the odd sounds Royal's insturment made. It was a look of puppy curiousity in the young hippogryph, that quickly turned to one of pure enjoyment. The little hippogrph pulled himself out from his caretaker to get closer to Royal and to hear the lovly sound. He sat down and tiltled his body from side to side with the melody, quite litterally enjoying himself. "First time he's heard music..." Bliss smiled realizing her young pupil's curiosity, "I'm so glad to see he likes it."

@, @, @@Pripyat Pony, Bliss inspected her wings and watched in awe as her feathers slowly grew like daisies! Once they were done, she stood up with relief and flapped them eagerly, testing their durability. As her confidence in the new feathers built she kicked off into the air for the final test. They held her up perfectly, as if she never had them plucked only a few hours ago by an enraged rogue hippogryph. "Amazing!" She whinnied and flew down snatching Artemis up into the air and flew back, enjoying her new found ability to fly all over again. "So wonderful, isn't it little Artemis?" "WEEEEEEEE!" Cried happily Artemis as she did a few loops with him securely in her arms. She landed with a soft pat of the snow, cuddling up next to Hurricane again... and once then her horn began to glow omniously in warning again. "Gah the stupid thing..." she whispered so others couldn't here and tapped it to stop. "Thank you Royal," she perked up to the once rival unicorn, "You have no idea how much this means to me." As Clover suggested about conducting her spells and wards, she wondered when their group would move on or whether or not they were going to stay there for the night.

@, @, Bliss and Artemis quickly took up sitting next to Hurricane near the fire, using their body warmth to their advantage. "I don't see how we cannot trust him right now Hurricane..." Bliss said shivering and pressing up gently against the black mare. "He healed your wound...made a fire like he said...prehaps he's..." Suddenly her horn began to spark...it was a warning...a weak one...but it was signalling something dangerous close by. She looked up at it, not sure what to make of it, shook her head and went back to Hurricane. "Maybe he knows a spell to make feathers grow as well..?"

@@purple.teal, @, @@Pripyat Pony, Bliss watched amongst the others, in disbelief that Flush was helping Hurricane at least. But at the same time she could slowly feel herself getting sick from the constant slapping of the bitter cold. She stood up then, trying to warm herself by walking in circles but it was doing no good. Her bare wings were showing icecles forming, even her lioness tail was beginning to suffer from ice. "Blizzy?" Artemis peeped seeing her struggle to keep walking. "It's ok Artemis... it's...it's ok..." she kept trying to tell herself as she walked in circles. "Then...if we can..." she tried to form words... "If Hurricane is well enough...to-to go...C-ccc..can we get off this Luna forsaken...mountain...p-please...?"

@,@@Pripyat Pony, Bliss looked up as well to see the unwanted card magical dealing stallion...but she had no reason to speak. Clover was right, there were far bigger problems for them. She even wondered if it was a blessing that Royal Flush was there to finish them off, it would be a fate less worse then what the Keeper had instored...But then she heared little Artemis peep. She looked down on him...his eyes were flooded with tears and fear. He was so innocent...just now starting life...and it had to start out like this for him...? No...she concluded, I can't give up now...it's not fair...it's not fair to him... She looked up to Royal Flush, "If you are here to fight us...or finish us off...whatever it is you coward..." she coughed slumped down... Artemis had to pull out from under her to avoid getting squished then immideatly tucked under what little shelter her shredded wings provided, "then at least...spare the children here...They've done nothing to you..."

@@purple.teal, "Then we go together..." Bliss concluded, "I don't know how but..." she sighed and began to shiver. Her adrillien like Hurricane's had fianlly came down...now her body was feeling the full force of the elements. Even with Artemis safetly tucked under her belly, he too was shivering...and could feel her suffering too. "We...can't just sit out here then...but Hurricane is hurt...I can't fly and I just..." She sniffed and sneezed...the cold was getting worse.

I suppose its your average and in between. No I wouldn't say I'm on bad terms with anypony here, well certaintly not the admins at least. I have an art store and though it doesn't get as much attention as I'd hope, its still going. I'd say I get the average notice now and then.

One of my own actually lol! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxhng_ro4q4&list=UUSS1-HnnHWZ_wIO-9hVfxWQ

That's what I'd like to know...

Bliss took Artemis in his arms, the young hippogryph seemed to shiver at Everlasts' conclusion that The Keeper...would return. And with Hurricane grounded alongside her, it was only Clover and Blaze along with Stormwing that could truely fly. "Then maybe the ones who can fly should get help... we'll stay here...and try to fortify a defensive position in case the Keeper comes back?" She suggested and wrapped her shredded wings around Artemis. "I'm no good with keeping magic going...but Everlast would be with me and if...the Keeper should come back, he could help to guide my magic for a defense."

@, @@Pripyat Pony, @@purple.teal, Bliss looked from Clover as she spoke, to Everlast and wondered if the brave stallion had the poltential to even heal Hurricane...but her wound was so deep...If he tried he'd be the one crippled...and unlike Hurricane, he'd be harder to carry. She turned back to Hurricane and Clover. "Then we need to get out of here..." she slowly rose to her hooves wobbly with Artemis clinging to her side. "But Hurricane... her wound...I..." suddenly she remembered and weakly walked over to where her bags were dropped and pulled out a blanket...Dragging it in her mouth she threw it over Hurricane's senstive body and proceeded to tie it around her sides where the wound was at its worst. "This might hurt a little..." she said as she began to tighten the blanket firmly to stop the bleeding. "This is to stop the leaking but...Clover...Hurricane, she needs medical attention... How do you suggest we get out of here? I can't even fly!"

@, @, Relief overwhelmed Lightning Bliss...As Hurricane fell to the ground, she slowly slid all four hooves outward to land next to her on her belly, exhausted and a splitting headach. "I'm...I'm alright...Artemis? ....ARTEMIS?" She whinnied in panick not sure if the infant stayed where she left him. But ther her gratitude, Artemis came bouncing out of his hiding spot and galloped to her side, hugging her neck and nuzzling her cheek. "Thank Luna...." she sighed and held Artemis in her hoof, then turned to Hurricane. She could see the blood seeping into the snow. The cut going down the side of her belly look mean and angry....It more then likely required stitches. Unlike her prick wound on her chest, the blood had already stopped... If she didn't know any better, the Keeper made her wound seem more ugly then it was to add to her fear. "You're hurt Hurricane..." she reached over the the black mare, "what can I do to help?"

@@Unicorncob, Sadly it would be, we're already pretty far in thanks.

(OOC Since no one is posting guess I'll go again) Bliss could feel her strength weakening...even with the thoughts of Everlast adding into the fray... Her magic simply wasn't meant for this kind of abuse... She was the alicorn of peace for crying out loud! Still, she continued to focus...hoping and praying the Keeper would finally just leave them be...that their source of friendship was too strong for them.

@@Pripyat Pony, Fair enough, that is a good point, but we'll have to wait and see what our 'leader' has to say about it since he made the Keeper. @@Darius, Well as I've said to others, being 2nd admin of this RP, it would be very difficult for you to just suddenly show up out of nowhere. However if you're that insistent, I would recommend PMing DJ Rabi Ray Rana, he is the host of our RP and be the one to give the offical ok. I'm just saying at this point I'm not sure if it would work out, that or you'd have it hard to work it out with us. Though I'll be honest (some) of our players haven't been posting frequently due to RL issues I'm sure, and it would be nice to have an extra voice in the midst of all this. Unfortunatly I can't make it offical. You'll have to ask DJ.
