(Ooh, a new horse *v* )

Myst watied a while longer watching the trees and decided it was safe enough to move.

She shook the nerves from her fur and began walking back through the trees and roots, making sure to watch her footing especially well.

She stopped to glance up and looked around, smelling the air. Her ears flattened when she realized she didn't know where she was and she couldn't smell her herd. She took a trembling breath before walking back the way she came in, hoping she'd be able to go from there.

Arion breathed deep. All the running had worn her out. "Phew. That was tiring." Arion huffed as she laid next to Sultan. She flashed him a soft smile and turned away to avoid blushing.

Farnight dropped back to Sultan and Arion, and settled into a walk, in line with them both. "How are you doing?" He inquired. "Wildfire and Tigress have gone missing, and there is still no sign of Myst, as she seems to have disappeared." Farnight was worried, but he may as well spread the word about the missing horses.

Arion looked up at Farnight. "I'm okay. Do you know where they went? Is anyone looking for them?" Arion asked. Fear flooded her mind. What is happening? She asked herself. The black mare's body tensed up as she looked around her.

"Last I saw Tigress, was when the lightning struck a while ago and caused a fire, but it was raining, so it went out quickly. I'm worried she may be injured or trapped. As for Wildfire and Myst; I have no idea..." Farnight said gravely. "Lilac's gone to try to find them." He explained. But he was worried. That bang from earlier indicated there were humans I the area. Maybe she will find them, maybe she, Tigress, Myst and Wildfire will be ok...

Wildfire stood there, torn. Did she really want him to go? Her expression said no, but the look in her eyes, they said yes, but had fear in them. He looked back in the direction of the herd and saw a spotted horse form racing across the plain and into the trees. Myst. Wildfire took one last loving glance at Tigress and then galloped after the mare. He quickly lost sight of her in the dense forest, but could still hear her. He had to slow down due to the density of the forest. He caught sight of her hiding but then another gun shot went off and both of them kind of scattered. He looked around but could not find her. He decided to head further into the woods in search of her. He saw her wandering slightly off path of the way they came in, clearly lost. "Myst!" He nickered to her and started heading her way.

Lilac heard a horse shouting for something, Wildfire? She galloped along side Brook to where the sound was coming from. She spotted the stallion racing through the woods. She galloped after him noticing he was probobly following something. "Wildfire! Wait!" Lilac was slowing down and wanted to know where he had gone.

Msyt's head shot up and spun around at the sound of a familiar voice. She spotted Wildfire and whinnied, trotting towards him.

"Oh, you don't know how glad I am to see you." She pressed into his shoulder in a thankful greeting and staggered a bit on her feet as relief slammed into her.

Wildfire nuzzled her and smiled. He was glad she was ok. "Alrighty, let's get you outa here." He headed out the way they came in. They were starting to trot when he heard another horse. Had they called his name? He picked up speed, Myst following close behind. As they started to get into the thinner area of the woods before the plain, he saw Lilac searching. He whinnied to her and they cantered over to the alpha. He saw she was relieved, but her expression still showed worry. "What is it?" he asked, his face turning into a slightly concerned expression. That's when he saw a grey horse in the distance. His ears when flat to his head and he muscles tensed up. He started to walk towards the horse, recongnizing it's scent from the night before. He turned to Lilac. "Do you know this horse?"
