Lightning Bliss

Hey all,

I'm actually...seriously considering...getting a left, lower arm sleeve tattoo of my OC. Orginally I was going for my own cutiemark, the heart with lightning bolt down the middle on my upper shoulder. But I realize I wanted more then that, dunno why... I want my OC, on my lower left arm on the inside, flying with her tail dangling downward. Her horn is conjuring a rainbow, and its litterally wrapping around my entire arm as it desends downward. Ya this is probably gonna be one of the most painful tats I ever recieve...but I'm seriously considering it for my birthday...or saving the idea for when I turn 30, which is next year.

I do have two other tats before anypony says anything. I have a small one on my right shoulder of Predator Text that says "Never Give Up" and on my left shoulder and chest area, are rat prints, to remind me of my love for my pet rats and former pets.

@, @, @,

Bliss was hardly paying attention as she rounded a corner with Blaze trailing behind. The hippogryph on her back was playing with her mane, seeming to be braiding her rainbow highlights into a pretty braid. Now and then she'd tug a little to make his deed more of a challenge and laughed when he squwaked in frustration...when suddenly

*BAM*

She ran in horn first into Hurricane's rump.

"Oops..." Bliss blushed realizing she may had cause a small poke on the black mare.

@,

"No I haven't..." Bliss answered Blaze as she made their way back to the others. @@purple.teal, @@Pripyat Pony, @,

"I'm sure she's alright though if you and the others are here...It feels like most of the male  hippogryphs have completely scattered. I guess they underestimated our little herd!" she squeed. The baby beneth her continued to follow up underneath her legs. There were tiems she thought she was going to trip on him but he always managed to keep up.

"Oh come here you silly," she picked up the infant and placed him on her back. "I seriously need to think of a name for you." She turned to Blaze then, "you should have seen this little guy! He was so brave!" She booped the little beak as she continued, "my wings were getting torn apart...well...they are torn apart," she gestured by opening them up, revealing a mutiliated sight of missing primary feathers, "by that dang Roc character...But by the fire of Celestia this little baby just snapped his beak down on the brute and sent him wheeling over crying for his mama!" She giggled. "What a little hunter!"

@,

In the distance Bliss saw Blaze in another cave, just recently freeing magnificant looking bird that seemed to only show gratitude by flying up into the sky where it belonged. Bliss smiled and trotted over to him.

"So glad you're here!" She hugged Blaze with the baby trotting underneath her. "And look, it appears I've adopted a...well...a pupil I guess." She smirked. "The others have just dealt with a hippogryph. I think they've all gathered near the center of this laybrith of caves. Come on I'll show you." She turned to lead the way, with the baby loyally following close behind.@@Pripyat Pony, @, @,

Bliss looked up in awe to see a giant sized Clover defending her's and the infant's life with a powerful spell...but she could sense she wouldn't be able to keep it up for long. But just then Steel came flying through like a bat out of hell, slashing and stabbing at the large brute that dared to threaten her and the child.

The baby squwaked and growled, seeming to be cheering Clover and Steel on as they battled Berack back.

Bliss held fast to the baby, retreating back into the side of Stormwing and her child as Steel and Clover had the upper hand. Bliss turned to Stormwing and blinked at her and the child...almost feeling like she was seeing herself with the baby in the future like state.

"I'll take him if you wish..." Stormwing offered Bliss, lowering her talon, trying to coax the baby to come to her. "It will be difficult but...in time he may grow to see me as his mother...It's rare we hippogryphs have more then one offspring in a clutter of eggs...And even harder when they already attatch themselves but...I can give him a home."

"No." Bliss said softly and pushed the female hippogryph's claw down and away. "No...it's ok..." she looked to the baby and he looked up to her. "He's already found a home with me..." She nuzzled the little colt's cheek, with him cooing at her in return. "You hear that little one...you got a home with me...Now come on. Let's go find our friend Hurricane."

@@Pripyat Pony,

"Alright," Bliss nodded to Clover and waited. She placed the baby down and tucked it under her hindquarters, protecting him should any other foes come their way.

That threat came faster then she anticipated...when she heard the baby growl in defense behind them. She whirled around to see what he could be spooked about, and was immideatly slapped agains the ground...the baby just dodging her in the process.

"YOU!" Shrieked Berack as he pushed her down harder into the rock, "how dare you leave the nest of Darkclaw! I should tear your wings off!"

"You don't," she coughed, "have to worry about that...Roc beat you to it..." she gestured by flapping her wings.

"Silence female!"  He raised his talon to slap a cut onto her face...

Suddenly once again the baby leapt to her defense, biting down on Berack's talon that held her down. The white gryphon shrieked in terror and yanked back. The baby let go and Bliss quickly snatched him up and tucked him behind her, backing away slowly with her horn out at the ready.

"You cursed little runt!" Berack snarled, "you dare attack a beta hippogryph of your tribe?!"

"He's just a baby, I'm the one you want!" Bliss whinnied, stomping the ground to get the fool's attention. "You want me not him!"

"SILENCE! I'll eat the baby and slash you up before returning you to Darkclaw!" The hippogryph charged at the smaller alicorn and infant, his head and beak extended outward.

Bliss reacted as planned, and levitated several large rocks from the ground and began pummbling them at Berack. One large one managed to hit him upside the head, forcing him to fall and slide on his side. While he was dazed Bliss galloped away, the baby instinctively following behind her.

@, @, @, @@purple.teal,

Suddenly the came to a fork in the cave, not sure where to go from here..."Curses Bliss think!" Her ears went up as she heard the distinct sound of her attacker gathering himself up and was now in pursuit...

Then her ears picked up another sound...along with two familiar lights and the smell of pegasus feathers...Hurricane? Everlast? Blaze?

She could see the lights of alicorn and unicorn magic get closer.

"HERE! HERE!" Bliss whinnied and reared up, shinging her horn brightly, "HERE WE'RE OVER HERE HELP!"

"YOU! WRETCHED FEMALE!" Berack found the alicorn along with the infant she protected, and leapt forward to pounce on them again.

Bliss whinnied in shock and ducked down, protecting the baby, awaiting for pecks and scratches... Luna help us...!!!

@@Pripyat Pony, @, @, @@purple.teal, @,

The baby cried in terror at the sound of an explosion that appeared to come up alongside their cave area. Dust and bits of rock from their celing threatning to cave them in if they didn't move soon.

"Shh!" Bliss held the child, "dang it what was that?!" She lit up her horn again, dazed and confused.

She shook her head getting the dust off her, then nodded to Clover. "Well Clover, I'm hoping that was Hurricane, otherwise...it wasn't a good thing...But if you think we have the time to save that other female gryphon Stormwing, then we better hurry up and find her. My gut tells me our stallions are already here to help us...and they got their hooves full."

@@Pripyat Pony,

"Clover!" Bliss hugged her alicorn friend, "thank goodness he didn't hurt you at least!" She held the baby tightly in one of her hooves as she lit up her horn displaying he ruined wings. "The horrible beast...if this is his version of fun...Gah..." she quenched back her tears, fearing she wouldn't enjoy the feeling of flight again for several weeks till her feathers grew back, she darted back. "Where's Hurricane???" @Houndoom,

@,

The baby paid no attention to Steel's actions till he was suddenly scooped up again against his will. "MAMA!" it squawked out as they flew into one of the caves. It was damp and dark, and a few male hippogryphs were surprised to find a stallion holding one of their own, entering into their terriority. The baby instinctively knew when to flee, and kicked free of Steel, leaving him to deal with the rest of the threats while he galloped out, following his nose to find Bliss.

@@Pripyat Pony,

"I...don't think I'd be that easy Stormwing," Bliss explained, "the baby seems intent on staying with me...it's not like..." Then she noticed a magical screen pop up on the cave wall next to the female gryph. It was Clover! The brilliant pony had somehow opened a hole up with her magic so that they could speak with each other. "Clover!" Bliss galloped to the screen. It was still solid rock, but she could see and hear from the other side. "Clover! We've got to get out of here! The son of Darkclaw, Roc! He's trying to eliminate all the females to gain rise in power of this tribe...We're not safe here...Nor is this female hippogryph and her child we've got to...AH!" She suddenly felt sharp pinching talons wrap around her torso, yanking her from the screen. She watched in a whirl of motion as Stormwing, squawked in panic and darted back further into the cave, with her child close in front of her...avoiding the male that had snatched up Bliss...

It was Roc...the one gryph she didn't want to meet again...

"AHHHHH!!!" Bliss wiggled in pain. "LET ME GO!"

"You little piece of meat! Who said you could talk to your new alpha that way? And what's this? More sparkle illusions?" He noticed the screen that Clover made. "My father may have claimed you and those other...female ponies...But not for long... I'll dispose of you all...then I'll be the new alpha of this group because he'll be prove not to be able to protect our flock anymore!"

"Your insane!" Bliss whinnied and kicked, flapping her wings trying to get away. "You murder!" She continued to flap her wings, smacking Roc repeatly with them in attempts to flee. His anger grew from this, and he viciously sought to remedy her wings from smacking him by slamming her to the ground....Once he had her pinned, he viciously began pucking out her primary feathers...

"OUCH AHHHHH!!! STOP IT NO!" Bliss begged for him to stop, "not my wings please!!! CLOVER HELP!!!" continued to cry out in agony...She turned to Stormwing then, seeing her very well hidding in the farthest corner, clutching her child, making it look away from the horrible scene inflicting on Bliss. "Please!!! MY WINGS!!! They are what I am! Don't do this!!"

"Hehe!! That's right beg! Like Snowbow did!" He viciously continued to pluck..."AHHHH!" Roc stopped suddenly, rivaling in pain and whirling back...His sensitive lion tail had been viciously bit into and now dripping with blood. The pain sent him whirling back on his back, clutching it and tearing.

Bliss looked up, her wings were mutilated...but thats not what was what caught her attention. There, still clutching a piece of Roc's tail...was none other then the baby hippogryph with the rainbow colors. His tail eagerly wagging that he had saved his mother and defended her like a strong male would.

"Baby?" Bliss looked at the little foal. It spat out the tail and came running into her hooves.

"MAMA!" It squawked at her, rubbing into her chest.

"You...? You did that? You brave little hunter you!" She snatched up the child and quickly galloped over Roc and out of the entrance into the snow, desperatly trying to find Clover.

@@Pripyat Pony,

If Bliss wasn't already white...it would have been clear how terrified she was now.

Great...just great, she thought to herself, me and my friends are stuck in a tribal warefare and we could be the targets of the derranged alpha's son? We've got to get out of here...But before she began to concieve even trying to escape...her ears dropped and tail tucked under her rump...The hippogryph she and the others found dead in the snow...torn up...with her coloring...

"I..." Bliss's lip quivered with what she had to say... "Stormwing...please...keep calm for what I'm about to say but..." She gulped and looked right into the female hippogryph's eyes, "the one you called Snowbow...me and my friends...we found...well more like her hatchling found us...And...we found her as well..."

She could see a linger of hope in her eyes...and began to tear up knowing she was about to break that light.

"Snowbow was dead when we found her...I know for a fact it was Darkclaw's son who killed her...Roc...He was going to feast on her remains...we over heard when we got trapped in the cave where she was nesting..."

She could tell Stormwing was at wits end by this devestating news...knowing for sure now she and her hatchling were guarenteed targets.

"But her hatchling is alive and well...though he sees me as his mother it appears...Dunno if its cause of my colors or...he just happened to spot me first...He won't stop following me around...I can't just up and be his mother though...can I?"

@@Pripyat Pony,

When the coast seemed clear Bliss heard the female speak to her in the far back in urgency. She seemed passive enough...though deep down she simply wanted to turn and bolt for the entrance. There was still however a male gryphon outside, guarding the entrance. Probably by the order of his alpha more likely...I've already proven I won't be one female to stick around... She sighed and decided to turn to the black gryphon who was motherly protective of her foal. She couldn't help but admire how cute it was, but it was much much bigger then the baby hippogryph she left back with her other friends. It had to been at least a year old and was the same size as she was!

Bliss followed the female and child back deeper into the cave till her white coat was just visible, and sat down close by.

"My name is Lightning Bliss...Alicorn of Peace and one of the Princesses of Equestria along with one of my friend Clover. We also have another friend, a black pony named Hurricane. Do you know where this Darkclaw took her?"

The female shook her head, sitting back with her child protectively nestled underneath her, she looked very frighten and submissive that Bliss spoke first.

"I'm sorry...I'll try to whisper..." Bliss said realizing she was coming off too dominantly, "I'm just...trying to figure out what to do...we were marenapped...we're not supposed to be here."

"None of us are..." Stormwing answered, "I was brought here when I was a young hatchling, during a raid in my birthing tribe. But this is the way of things...Tribes fight for territories and females, so that our clutches may grow...But this is not why I wish to speak with you...My name is Stormwing."

Bliss blinked and titled her head in curiosity, waiting for Stomrwing to continue.

@, @@purple.teal,

The little hippogryph could no longer wait any longer for this odd pegasus to take action, especially with the way he was doing it, calling all the males to battle. His mother was right there...and he was going to find her. With that he leapt off the stallion when he was over thirty feet in the air and rapidly flapped his wings. He squawked with panic but his wings did manage to slow his fall till he landed with a thump in the deep snow. He came to a sliding hault near a cave, right next to another hippogryph who was guarding the main entrance. A chestunt male with black spots, who didn't seem to notice the rainbow hatchling. The little hippogryph held fast, stay under the snow, waiting for a moment where he felt the time was right to find his mother.

@@Pripyat Pony,

Finally at what felt like forever Bliss found herself being put down amongst what seemed to be another female hippogryph hiding with her foal in the background, along with several other males that were seemingly enjoying the scenery from the safety of the entrace as the snow continued to fall. Bliss's first instinct was to take off soon as she touched ground, spreading her wings out instantly.

"HISSSSS!!!!!" Darkclaw blocked her way, hissing at her to go back. It was more then enough for Bliss to flatten her wings down and slowly turn away.

"Let us go!" She snorted, "you have no right to-"

"Silence female...You're speaking to your new alpha..." He ordered Bliss and shoved her aside against the wall. "You have spirit, that needs manners...Sit down."

"I will not! You have no right to order me around! I am an Equestrian! I have rights and-" Suddenly she felt his rough talon force her down on her rump, along with a painful pinch on her shoulder to remind her not to talk back. "OUCH!"

"That was a warning female...The next time it will be a peck!" He stormed off, carrying Hurricane and Clover to dump them somewhere else within the cave, designated where they were meant to 'nest' more likely.

Bliss groaned and rubbed her shoulder, a clear red mark had been left from the pinch. He could have easily torn her flesh off but didn't...clearly she and her friends really were valuable to him enough he didn't want to hurt them too much. She sighed and laid there for the moment, waiting to hear back from Clover and Hurricane.

@,

Meanwhile outside hidden well from the main entrance, the little hippogryph struggled to obey the flying stallion's requests...He could smell Bliss, she was right there! At one moment he took a step forward but Steel blocked him, urging him to be patient in someway. Though the young baby was only hours old, he was highly intelligent enough to understand the urgency of the situation.

@, @@purple.teal, @,

After a while of peeping and squaking, the little hippogryph lead Steel to the other side of the mountain, near midsection like Everlast predicted. It was clearly stocked full of hippogryphs, all adults and all seeming to be males...There was a cluster of caves surrounding one large entrance...But it was quite clear...his mother was there, being held hostage with the other pony mares. He squaked with urgency, just about ready to leap off Steel's back.

@@Pripyat Pony, @,

Bliss seemed to have tuned both Clover and Hurricane out...tears trickled down her face. Here she was, being held captive against her will, away from her husband...away from her home, and now away from an infant that depended on her...She felt horribly...like she failed once again to be a proper alicorn...Surely she felt she could think of a way out of this...but she felt like a piece of meat. She threw her wings over her face, sobbing quietly as they were continuesly carried through the snow.

@@purple.teal, @,

The little hippogryph clunged to the strange flying pony and squawked with terror as they flew up into the snow storm. Though after a moment of fear, the hippogryph felt right at home in the sky, even though he couldn't fly himself yet. Just then though the baby began to peep, a happy peep...due to somehow he could smell his mother through the storm. His beak was powerfully attuned to the sense of smell of his motherly figure...and even through all the cold ice, he could smell her clearly. Whenever the pegasus flew in the wrong direction, he'd squawk loudly in warning till he flew in the right direction.

"MAMA!" It peeped out as they continued through the storm.

@@purple.teal,

The little hippogryph was able to stick its head out just in time to see its mother being taken away. As her nappers disappeared into the night and the unicorn that held him protectively let him go, he leapt out of the sack and galloped clumsily towards the exist, squwaking out for Lightning Bliss.

"Mama!!! MAMA!!!" It cried horribly, trying to flap its wings to take off after her. It buzzed up for a moment, gaining a foot of altitude. But his wings had barely begun to strengthen, and was risking to snap in two if he tried anymore...Suddenly though the little white wings gave out and he fell on his rump, now crying in more despair, "mama...mama...*sniffs*"

I'm basically second admin to this RP with DJ Rabi being in charge of it all so its really his choice.

There'd had be a way to get you in without it looking random, can't just suddenly show up like you were part of the group the whole time right? lol.

@,

Darkclaw grinned seeing his way was being respected as he shoved passed the white pony stallion, ignoring the other gray pony with a sleeping bag in the corner. Carrying his two prizes he spread out his wings.

"Come Roc, Berack...and even you Stone..." he gritted his beak at the mention of the weakling hippogryph cowering in the back. "The storm is getting worse and I don't want my new harems freezing." With that the large black hippogryph took to the sky with his flock of hatchlings following close behind, though all three were rather annoyed with it.

Bliss felt the jerk of the take off and this only sent her into a furray of fear and squirming. She wanted to get loose, to get free and turn back to the stallions...but Darkclaw's grip on her, Clover and Hurricane was firm, he didn't even notice her squirm.

"NNN...NO!" She cried out, her screams of sorrow being muffled by the wind.

@,

Well you just posted after me I didn't want to post again, figured to wait for others to post before I went on. I'm still waiting on that too, I don't want this RP to die either so ya come on guys post already.

@, @@purple.teal, @@Pripyat Pony,

"But..." Bliss turned then, spotting Everlast with the baby in the sack, safe and looking as small as possible in a threatening situation. Her eyes locked on the baby as well as his did to her...but just when he was about to make a mad squwak and dash towards her, she immideatly gave him a firm look. No...you stay here...don't move...be safe... All said it in her face.

The baby cooed sofetly in a saddening tone too low for the others to hear, and pressed up against Everlast for comfort.

Bliss sighed, "Alright...we'll play it your way Clover..." she toned down, waiting and hoping the other stallions would back off.

@,

(OOC Read above dude, an alpha gryphon has stopped the fighting, hes trying to leave XD)

@@Pripyat Pony,

Bliss squirmed unmistakably scared, not really for herself but for the safety of the baby Everlast was guarding.

"But we can't...we just can't let him take us away!" She whispered urgently back to Clover, "what about the baby! NHGG! He needs me Clover...!" Her bottom lip beganto quiver...she realized more then ever she actually did care for the little one.

@,

In that moment of hearing Darkstar's terrible news in the letter...her ears dropped down to her side.

Immideatly flashbacks of her father began to surface...She remembered what it felt whe she got the news from her elder sister...that horrible faitful night when...he just...was gone...

"Gah..." She suddenly stood up and grabbed Darkstar's hoof, "come with me, to my place. Let's leave the galla, you don't need to be here. Come to my home, meet my husband Nights Hoopla, and we can plan the festivities together." She insisted by pulling on his hoof. This was her only way to dealing with such horrible news, complete and utter distraction with something positive.

@,

Berack snarled as the stallion beated on his face, actually causing his beak to bleed some...but this only seemed to make the hippogryph smile with eagerness. While the stallion Quickdraw continued to be distracted with attacking his front, he lowered his tail down and up behind the pony, and abruptly swated him like a fly against the cave wall.

"Stupid pony!" He spat his own blood on Quickdraw's face...before he squawked in annoyance by a blinding light emitting from the horn of the stallion white pony with wings and a horn. "GAH! TURN OFF THAT LIGHT!"

Stone however was fairing even less so then Berack, as he felt a sharp pain smack his head. He fell to the ground, still holding the black pony in his arms as he groaned in pain.

"OUCH! Why me? Why?" He turned to see his attacker and growled in a derp fashion, "hey! I didn't do anything to you! I just want to take my new mate and leave! Go away you pest!" He quickly swatted at the agile flying stallion Steel.

@@purple.teal,

Roc snarled as he was hit repeatly by floating objects by the gray pony that now was filling his mind to the breaking point with jibberish.

"GAH SHUT UP YOU STICK HEAD!" He suddenly snatched the rock that was repeatly hitting him in the face, breaking the magic around it, and throwing it back at the unicorn Everlast, whom seemed to be oddly standing over a brown sack. Roc didn't seem to care or notice as he flapped out his wings, blowing hard wind at his attack to knock him and the sack away. "I'm getting tired of this s**t! I want to leave, and I want to leave NA- AH HEY WHO TURN ON THE LIGHTS?" HE blinked and damped his eyes with his wings, covering Blissy in the process.

Bliss meanwhile was struggling to see passed the wings of her attacker to make sure Everlast and the baby were ok...but all she could see was light that had glowed out from Blaze's magic...She didn't have time to assess why she was so concerned for an offspring that wasn't hers...far as she knew...she wanted to be with the baby again...and hold and protect it.

@@Pripyat Pony, @,

(OOC I see we added another villian...ok I'll work it in)

Just when it seemed like all heck was going to break loose and the three gryph attackers were on the verge of having pony stallion for dinner...a new hippo gryph, much larger then even Berack, came storming in, snatching up Clover to Bliss's horror. Blaze's magical light had died down, and the three younger hippogryphs, two of them still holding their prizes, lowered their heads down.

"F-father?" Roc whimpered misserably, "w-what are you doing here? I thought you were staying with the flock?"

"You and your friends...were taking too long to find food...I came to see why... Seems you found me a little gift..." He smiled with a sadden but devilish face at Clover, along with Lightning Bliss and Hurricane. "So...instead of finding food, you find new mates for your father's empty harem, is that it hatchlings?"

"We found them first!" Berack protested, only to suddenly be smacked violently against the wall by Darkclaw, and held up by his throat with one talon, while holding Clover in the other. He gagged and chocked realizing he had stepped over the line challenging the alpha gryph of their flock.

"What was that Berack? Didn't quite hear you..." Darkclaw gripped his talon on the smaller fat white hippo gryph.

"N-nnn...nothing! For-gi-e-me-" Berack begged.

"That's what I thought," Darkclaw let the young hippogryph down and turned to Stone. "Hand her over to me now..."

"Yes alpha..." Stone moaned silently as he roughtly handed Hurricane over to him.

With that the large black and purple leader hippogryph turned to Roc...his biological hatchling. "You too boy...all the females are mine...How else am I to keep our flock alive without fresh harems to be at my side?"

"You never let me have my own females father...can't I just have one?" Roc pleaded with his father.

"WE ARE NOT YOUR FEMALES!" Bliss suddenly whinnied out as she pulled free of Roc's talons and flew up into the cave ceiling. "Relase Hurricane and Clover! NOW! OR I'll!" Suddenly Darkclaw reached out and snatched the big earred alicorn like she were an apple on a twig...cutting off her words and tucking her under his arm with Hurricane and Clover, all three wiggling helplessly by this point.

"Clover...Hurricane...hmmm," Darkclaw pondered his new females names, "interesting but I suppose I can learn them." He turned then to leave, realizing though that he still had five other pony stallions blocking his path. "Out of the way small ones." He spoke in a thundering, dominant tone, "I don't wish to kill you all just to go back to my flock, I suggest you move now, or else my hatchlings here can have fun with you instead. Could care less either way, the question is do you. Move now and you will be unharmed, fail to do so and I'll give them the order."

All three hippogryphs, Berack, Roc and Stone grinned at the stallions then, their beaks drooling in anticipation.

@,

Berack turned on Quickdraw having heard the loud booming sound echo just passed his head. He snarled and turned to where it came from, still holding Clover under his arm.

"Foolish pony thing..." he shrugged, as if looking at the stallion with the odd boom stick, nothing but wasted time, "I don't have time to play with you. Be gone, I'm trying to inspect my new mate." Suddenly he snapped his beak on Quickdraw's weapon and pulled it firmly from his hooves and tossed it aside. "What kind of weapon was that? Don't you have talons?" He shoved his face hard into Quickdraw's stomach, knocking the stallion over, "You only have hooves? Weakling! You don't have talons so you must be prey!" He turned to Roc then, "Prehaps we should eat these weaklings?"

"I'm not hungry enough..." Roc shrugged, still putting pressure on Everlast.

@,

Still clinging to Hurricane, Stone sat up and rubbed his head...though the shrewd words of his new mate only made him feel worse.

"Hey I'm not a bird brain!" He snarled at her, "you be a good female and maybe I'll let you prune my feathers and clean my coat!" He suddenly shoved her face into his filthy dirty winged feathers, "they really do need to be cleaned! I've not bathed in months!"

Meanwhile Bliss continued to struggle in her bag Roc held her in, only to discover to her horror that the baby was also trapped within the sack too. He was about ready to squawk and cry when she grabbed his beak and pressed his head against her chest.

"Shh....they'll hear you...we've...we've got to get you out of this sack!" She desperatly tried to focus her magic then...trying hard to teleport the little one out...but every time she attempted, the magic relasped back into her horn..."Gah...what in the world?" She blinked at the baby, seeming to be unphased by the magical intrusion. "It's almost like your...repelling my magic...?"

There was no time for this now, she had to rescue the baby...if these males found out he was with her, who knows what they might do to it. She suddenly kicked at the bag's top, disloding the owner's talon and felt herself along with the baby falling down with a OOMPFH!

@,

"OUCH!" Roc snarled as he let go of the sack. To his annoyance, soon after his new prize, fluttered out of the sack, snatching it in her mouth and flying towards the exit. "Oh no you don't missy!" He suddenly snatched her tail in thin air yanking her back.

"SSSSSSSSSSSOUCH!" Bliss whinnied as she tossed the sack with her little secret still inside, towards Blaze, hoping he would protect the baby at least. "LET GO OF ME NOW!" Bliss turned around and shot a beam of rainbow at her attacker's face. But to her shock, the beam merely dispelled around his face...making him sneeze only slightly.

"ACHOO!" He snarled and pulled her back into his talons, "you naughty female! Looks like I got to teach you some manners when we get home!"

Bliss realized then that this hippogryph Roc had let go of Everlast. Hoping and praying the unicorn might have a chance to use his own magic, she struggled and kicked, trying to buy him some time.
