open Firestorm, the RP

[Starbound 150]

Willow walked away in a seething rage. That was it. She was going to find her real parents. Sure, they had left her 8 years ago, but they certainly had good reason. She just couldn't remember for some odd reason. But she was sure they would have treated her better than Luna. They would have put her and Melody abovr all else. Now it seemed like Luna loved Steel more than she loved her. Again and again she sensed a romance between them, but she denied it. Her mother wouldn't have called Wanderlust vagabond even though Willow liked him, even if she had good reason

 

She wished Celestia was here. She would have put some sense into Luna. She would stop this fighting. They just didn't listen to Willow because she was a filly. Willow's mother, being an adult, probably would have mattered more. That was it. Willow was going find her mother. And nothing will stop her.

Luna hurried over to Steel's and Astrid's side, "I'm here Steel relax, I spoke with Embers sword... It really can speak, and it says it really can help and save you."

Wanderlust was supporting Whisper now, he examined the cut antler and started swearing again in griffin. Deer antlers were very much like unicorn horns once cracked or broken they were incredibly hard to repair, they would cause constant pain, migraines and erratic sudden uses of magic. He had to find the missing tip and figure out what to do and he had to do it quick or else there might not be anything he could do for her, "Stay wake Whisper, I can't imagine how much it hurts but stay wake, focus on your magic for me, use it if you can. Keep magic flowing in that antler, okay we can fix this some how."

 

He shifted her on to his back and started scouring the ground around them, he didn't even see Willow walking past on of the intersecting streets. He was talking to Whisper on his back even if she was unconscious, "where did it go? Where's the tip of your antler? We have to find it as fast as possible!"

[Starbound 150]

Willow saw Wanderlust searching the ground with Whisper Woods on his back, and hurried towards them. "Wanderlust? What's wrong? What are you looking for? Is your friend okay?" She was too mad inside to notice the broken antler, but when she did, she took a step back in shock. She knew how bad a broken unicorn horn was, and deer antlers were probably the same concept. "Wanderlust? Her antler is broken!"

[dashian500 194]

Steel hugged her as best he could "Luna listen to me I don't have much time left" steel had to stop and cough " I love you Luna take care if Astrid for me" steel coughed again and little blood came out because he didn't have much left "I love both of you Astrid do as Luna's says"

Wanderlust's frantic eyes meet Willow's, "Willow, I'm so glad to see you, I need your help." He looked away starting to search again, "It happened in that earlier when she was working on Steel, when Embers stabbed him she was too close it clipped her antler. She stumbled this way, the tip has to be around here somewhere. We have to find it, and fast if we want to be able to do anything. Please Willow I need your help, help me find it."

[Starbound 150]

"Oh no, oh no oh no oh no oh noooo... Ok!" Willow searched, bringing her head close to the ground, examining every blade of grass. "This is going to take a while." The piece should be easy to find because of its color. "Wait! Wanderlust! Can she use magic like a unicorn? Them the tip of her antler would be giving off some kind of magical aura!"

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

Whisper twitched in response and babbled pure nonsense. Her eyes fluttered open and shut rapidly. The pain was great even if it was a small piece,if a larger bit had been cut, she would have died on the spot. In her mind, images flashed by quickly and soon became distorted.

Wanderlust raised an eyebrow, "yeah, she can use magic so it would have the same aura as her. I don't see how that-" and then he did understand, "the Swirling Glass?! That old monocle? You still have it? Looking through that it would stick out like a sore hoof! (sore thumb wouldn't make much sense would it)"

[Starbound 150]

"Yes! Now it will be easy!" Willow carefully pulled the monocle out of her pouch and put it to her eye. "Now what would the aura look like? Pretty much everything here has some kind of aura." She handed it to Wanderlust. "You would probably find it. You have more experience with that then I do."

(Awesome job thinking to use this too, I love that you remembered it)

 

"Willow you're brilliant you know that? Such a lifesaver I swear I could kiss you! Next time it's possible I owe you a huge ice cream sundae or something okay?" He put the monocle to his eye, "it's pretty easy you look at Whisper and can see her magic," He saw her magic aura through the Swirling Glass, it was green and a moving twisting mess but still somehow it had an organization to it, it reminded him of vines, a magical group of vines twisting and growing among themselves without end. "And then we just search for the bit that matches it." He started to look about, by comparison the world's aura of non-active magic seemed muted, he just had to remember to not look at Willow as she was still glowing like the sun with her magic aura.

 

It only took him a few minutes before he saw the bit of bright twisting greens on the ground, he rushed to it picking up the small bit of antler. His heart sank as he looked at it, even now the magic was already starting to fade from the shard of antler. "I got it! But we still need to act really quick and this is the harder part... I-I don't know how we can do it..." He sat and leaned in close to Whisper, his face right next to hers as he made sure the pieces of antler fit together, they did but understandably as soon as he let go they fell back apart, "... To fix a unicorn horn, if they're quick enough, they usually use some sort of magic conductive substance or magic material to bind the shards together. I think it's usually crystals or some magic item. I don't know what we could use, what might work to save it."

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

Whisper looked up at Wanderlusts sadly as if she had something to say. But before she could; a strange noise escaped from her mouth and the blue in her eyes dulled. With a final twitch of her head, she laid it down placidly staring at a rock. Her aura had dulled to a musty green and she simply sighed while blinking slowly.

Wanderlust paled at what he saw through the Swirling Glass, "hey, hey, hey, no no no no, you stay with me Whisper. You don't let that magic fade, you've got a beautiful aura don't let it fade. When I see you using magic... you're stunning you know that, nature magic becomes you, you look so at peace and happy immersed in it you know that? I'm not going to let you lose that I'm not, I'm not."

 

He pressed the pieces of antler together holding them in place for her, but this wasn't enough and he knew it. Her magic was nature magic, she was the one that had first taught him how an earth pony like him could use nature to cast his own magic; his magic was nature magic, they weren't the same but similar. He forced himself to be at peace, to tap into nature through his hooves, he use the magic to hold the pieces together and between them he as gently as he could flowed his magic in through the break it entered and mixed supplementing her magic as much as he could. But still he knew this was only a temporary solution, it only bought them some time.

 

He stood with her on his back again, he started to hum a song, the caribou had taught him how song could better connect him to nature. The boost helped him support her magic, though now it was obvious he was calling on nature, plants around him start to grow and bloom. He started to walk, not knowing where he was going, but something in nature was lead him, Mother Nature whispering to him as he carried Whisper on his back.

 

(He's humming girl by the beetles, don't know why felt like that fit, not sing any words just humming it and the Melody as best he can)

[Starbound 150]

(I like how you said Melody with a capital letter.)

 

"Wanderlust? I don't know what to do. This hasn't happened to me before. Melody could have helped, I only know how to heal mentally. Maybe I can soothe her pain?" She smiled as Wabderlust sort of fondled Whisper Woods and complimented her. Mentally she spokw to herself. "You like her, don't you? Mom was always a little uncomfortable with me and colts."

(Haha I've been running this RP on my iPad so long my autocorrect capitalizes it for me haha. The end of that when Willow's mentally talking to herself, was she remarking that she likes Whisper, that Wander likes Whisper, or that she likes Wander? Sorry got confused)

 

Wanderlust just turned and smiled at Willow as he continued to hum, it was a smile that said everything was going to be alright, that things were as they were supposed to be and it was okay. There was something about his eyes they were kind and caring but distant. He nodded when she mentioned soothing Whisper's pain but he didn't stop walking, gave a little gesture of his head that she should follow him. His pace was brisk but didn't seem rushed, like he had some place to be but knew he could be late.

 

It was no time at all before they were in front of a blacksmiths shop where clanging could be heard inside.

[Starbound 150]

(She was remarking that Wander likes Whisper, sorry if that was unclear, I didn't know a good way of putting that.)

 

"Wanderlust? Where are you going?" She hoped that it was not too far, because Luna would just get worried more and take calling Wanderlust a vagabond even further. And seeing an argument between her mother and her best friend wouldn't have been nice at all. Whenbthey got to the shop, she was curious. What were those clanging sounds? "Why are we here?"

(No problem, I'm kinda falling asleep now so I' sure that contributed)

 

Again Wanderlust gave Willow that smile, truthfully Wanderlust had no idea why they were there, he was barely aware of where he was even all his focus was on keeping Whispers magic in her and keeping her aura strong and supported; that and humming the tune to keep him connected to nature. Mother Nature had taken control in guiding his body around, in this part of the world not many that knew her magic where left and while she normal let survival of the fittest take place she was a bit more protective of these two right now.

 

Wanderlust ducked into the Blacksmith shop and there in the back was Runedawn working on an anvil dutifully, he was crafting a Embers sun shard sword. (Please do not interact with him, Scribblegroove is currently taking at least a break from the RP, though his character still exists). Wanderlust went over to the forge, which was still very hot, and a small drop of golden molten metal levitated from the forge. He turned those strange distant kind eyes on Willow and spoke in a voice that was Wanderlust's but overlapped with a strong females voice as well as hundreds of barely audible lesser ones, "please try to manage and soothe her pain, this will most likely not be pleasant."

Whisper had somehow managed to sing along brokenly, sometimes fading far away and then pulling back in for just a moment. It was difficult for her mind to grasp what was going on. She began to wonder what she was doing here. She began to wonder who were these strangers?

[Starbound 150]

Willow was concerned. What was happening? "Oh- alright." She decided not to bother Runedawn because he always did seem grumpy and mad, and he would not respond well to being interrupted. She reached out and touched Whisper Woods' Cutie Mark, and light illuminated the dark walls. Willow was taken aback at the pain, and released her hold for a moment. "Sorry." She tried to channel the pain into her own heart; which of course hurt but her heart healer's aura smothered the pain. <There won't be anymore pain, I promise.> She spoke thosewords into Whisper Woods' mind, so only they could hear it.

The drop of liquid metal was the tiniest bit of sun shard left behind from crafting Embers sword, and it floated over Wanderlust gently separated the two piece of antler and positioned the drop between them. Then pushed all three together, there was a slight burning smell, what was most likely searing pain for Whisper and then the metal was instantly cool. The antler was whole again or at least it looked that way, only in the right light would the crack show as a bit of shining brilliant gold.

 

Wanderlust was still looking through the monocle at her aura it was sealed and safe, but there was something more, either excess magic of his had been trapped in her or the droplet of sun shard had amplified her own magic or her connection to nature because the aura of vines suddenly had blossoming flowers among them. "Beautiful." He said in his own voice, cutting himself of from the nature now that he didn't need it to help Whisper.

 

As he disconnected from nature his eyes dilated hugely, his knees went weak and he collapsed towards the forges open furnace.

Embers caught the sword and smiled down at it "Well, good job" He said with a laugh as he sat down next to the tree, leaning into it. He looked over at grell with smirk and tilted his head as he looked over at the sunshard. He chuckled as he got to his feet, looking at grell

Grell had been walking the whole time and was now out of sight he just kept walking his scythe In hoof he was wiping his hooves clean of the group working in a group was no place for a death master they couldn't work In groups because death was a solitary creature

[Sanctified Absence 126]

Shadow had been limping towards the shouting, luckily for him the group seemed to be in an angry mood for some reason or another. Despite the heat from the bracer fading away his flesh still felt the painful burning sensation, it was nearly unbearable.

 

"Y'know... It's not "normal," for ponies to be... talking to their weapons," panting, he emerged from the rubble relatively close to Embers, barely catching Steel's wounded self out the corner of his eye. He turned to Embers before clutching the burned forehoof in pain, barely able to form words, "I need to speak with... Luna," he leaned against a nearby piece of rubble and stared into the brilliant metal that had welded itself to his flesh "Where is she?" He asked, not having the mind to look around for her.

Steel saw the new pony and slowly pulled out a dagger and after a few moments of trying he stood up "who are you... What do you want " steel said panting he held his dagger at the ready even though it was obvious he was in no condition to fight looked at Shadow and lifted his wing to obscure his sight of Luna

The pain was dulling and then suddenly it felt like someone was digging into her wound! She cried out in intense pain, looking back at Wanderlust with a face that screamed  Why?! before being pacified by Willow's magic.

 

Swirls clouded her mind and then a brilliance shone through it. Whisper was looking back into her ancestral memories and something stirred within her, the shard droplet had nudged a sleeping power within her that she didn't know existed. <Thank you, young one...> her voice echoed through Willows head soothingly.

 

"Wanderlust is falling..." a low voice whispered to her. Who was that? She couldn't tell but before she knew it, in a burst of green she had teleported behind Wanderlust catching him in her hooves. Whisper stomped her back hoof down in order to brace for impact and tumbled with him; they landed wrapped up in cloth, underneath a window.
