Subject: And I Return[EVERYONE MUST READ]
The night’s grisly fingers curled around Cascade Mountains with a sickening demise as dawn began to pry Nox’s grasp from the world. And pry she did, the night slowly began to cower before the dawn and eventually disappeared behind the horizon. And with it, Shazaam rose like a brilliant radiance that penetrated from the rising globe of light itself. The stallion was a figure of eminence and requital as he stood upon the distant hills with an illustrious poise. And with a sickening nonchalance he slowly made his was down from the hills and into his home, drawing with him, the light of dawn. Once adorning the center of the Isle, he wasted no time in calling everyone to attention.
”Residents of the Isle! I call your attention to me! I have returned from my travels, only to be introduced to a pot full of rumors about the Evils making war. I have many things to talk to you about concerning this. First off: Ranks will change. More ranks will be added, and I will begin the process of producing a militia to defend our way of life. The way of the Light. We shall not fall to the deathly clutches of darkness and evil! I will make a stand! I will lead you into battle as commander of our army if need be, and I shall lead you to victory! Some of you may question this. If we are Light, why must we fight? And I shall tell you this: There are some things in life worth fighting for, and our freedom and peace is one thing worth fighting for. I promise you, as King of the Light horses, that we shall never fall under darkness. I must also inform you that many changes in the Isle will come to be. I promise to you they will be good, and shall help us in the future. How much time we have, I do not know. But in the time we have, I will be assigning certain tasks to certain horses. Fillies in training for queen! This will be a huge opportunity for you to gain favor and prove yourselves. I will be assigning you all tasks, and I will be expecting completion. Until then, I wish you all to stay calm, and go about your life. Please bear with me, and I promise you the best shall come of this.”

I, and the rest of the fillies I'm sure, am willing to do whatever must be done to protect our way of life. Standing attentively, the henna belle awaited whatever speech the great stag may have saved for her.|..|

No matter what occurred, Tori knew that Hex would be sent away for his own protection -- a captive prince would be a goldmine the evils would be sure to exploit. She wasn't sure what role that her mate would assign her, but she did know that she would fight to the death to protect her family, her homelands, and her way of life. ]

Shazaam -- Daughter of Light, 18:36:10 09/01/03 Mon [1]
The whiskered mare approached her son, worried by news of a brooding war. "How much time do you think we have?" she questioned softly. Time was the deciding factor in everything, for in it priorities were made and kept. "A militia is an excellent idea, if one can be rounded up in time. Choose positions wisely, and perhaps it will be possible to keep it alive beyond the threat of war." As she reflected on the mention of her fillies, the palomino's ears flicked faintly backwards in a sense of protection. Her voice lowered, not threateningly, but with regality equal to his own. "The fillies are not to be put in the line of danger. While I know that risks must be taken in war, I do not wish for such risks to be taken with any foal. Daughter of Time, Light's Final Honor, and Star are coming with me to the mythicals. An alliance was recently agreed to, and I am going to secure their help." At that thought, the acting-Queen turned her attention abruptly on Tori, her manner softening. "For the time, my position is far from danger. Would you like for me to watch over Hexed until I return? I am taking Phoenix with me as well."

[ . Troubled emerald orbs washed over DOL, anxiety and worry clear in the crystalline depths. At the question posed to her, the sun-bleached dame nodded slowly. Her heart ached at the thought of being separated from her youngest, even for a short time, but duty and responsibility severely limited her options. ]
Yes, I would greatly appreciate it if you could watch Hex until this unfortunate mess is cleared up. Knowing that he is safe and protected from danger will free both Shazaam and myself up to deal with other issues.

-The filla whickerd to her friend, she'd heard the news already by mouth of the past/acting queen DoL, now she wished to talk to her friend while she had the chance- 'Chime...' -She called softly, hoping not to bother the adults though she at times felt old, this was not one of those times. She felt newly born and unknowing of everything...yet at the same time knowing all. And this was scary-

*Ray of Light* -- Prayer, 15:39:58 09/02/03 Tue [1]
The liver chestnut filly stared solemnly up at the regal stallion, her bottom lip firmly clenched in her teeth. This would be a trying ordeal for everyone involved, this she was sure of. *We'll definitely help* she offered somewhat shyly, her body positioned close beside Dance for comfort.

A bob of her sensorium was given as Prayer arrived as well, and she smiled faintly in greeting to both. Yes? Curiousity went throughout the young dame in a shock as she wondered what Dance had called her for.|..|

.cant learn perpetual. -- Deja Vu, 23:32:10 09/04/03 Thu [1]
Always late--and ashamed of it--the steel coloured filly trotted foreward briskly, tossing a tuft of mane, still far from voluminous. She strained her protean orbs, looking quickly to the only familiar forms she knew--Prayer and Chime--for insight to the information she had not caught from the king.

-As Chime came towards her a soft smile was given, before her blue and black frame pressed close to Prayer, an act of kindness and near protection to the other, as well as for herself. She looked to the filla that was her dear friend, of her homeland and of the training. She didn't know what she wanted to say, merely knew that she needed her friends more then ever. Heck she really wanted Vren right about now too- 'Do you think...do you think we should go to the Hideout? Those that aren't needed by DOL? She doesn't want any of us hurt....' -Trails off, then finally contiues- 'Or maybe...maybe I can find my mom?' -Forgive the young soul, she was that of a 2 year old but at the moment rather afraid, she held onto her composure by a mere thread. And it was being to show-

†Catch A Falling Star† -- Silent Star, 00:42:49 09/06/03 Sat [1]
A black mare cantered in,listening to mighty king Shazaam's speech.Not much older than a filly herself,she watched all the others slowly gathering.Finding she was standing all alone,she made no move to gather in with everyone else.Her vioce rang out above the din..."I wish to help with the war.I am perfectly capable of battling,and I have experience."She stood and waited,to see what Shazaam,DOL,or Tori would think.

|..|The foal smiled understandingly at her friend. It was normal for the younger to want her dam at a time such as this. Just the same, she had no dam to seek out. I'll do whatever they need me to do, whatever it is. There was a slight tinge of fear, as would be expected, at the thought of war, but it did not show up in the young dove's speech or the forefront of her mindset. Nudging Dance, the bella attempted to reassure her again, knowing that she was scared.|..|

Lithe golden stallion slinks into the terra, hard eyes glinting with anticipation on either side of his perfect stripe. Silken tail swishes behind him as he dances closer to the group of horses, customarily layed-back ears taking in the stallions speech.
Ugh...
He shudders, nausiated, then chuckles low to himself. Oh gods. What utter bull----. These creatures are unbelievable ... and I'm supposed to fight with them?
HUhn.
He snorts, and tossing his head pushes through the mares and foals to eyeball the lead.

...all that glitters is not gold... -- C, 09:30:07 09/06/03 Sat [1]
...indeed the radiant shafts of light emitted by the burning globe of fire anchored in the morning sky produced an unmistakable image to any earth-inhabiting creature. as the slight breeze moved phlegmatically through the few trees and wrestled the water for a moment or two, from beyond the horizon appeared a gleaming bronze stallion who moved and spoke in a voice most characteristic to those of royals. perhaps here was their king, though who is C to know such things, having never actually seen one before. it was one of those moments where, for all you know, you could have been dreaming; imagining so many things that have only been legends to you before now. sure, he had often heard of kings and wars and the like, but never had he experienced a war or met a king. to him, the notion was quite unrealistic.
but times have changed.
as the firm ground basked in the sun's warmth, along with all of those reptiles who are unable to move until their body temperature is up to the right degree, the regal steed seemed to begin his speech. the words were strong, and in a manner, harsh, but C was not a colt who was unexperienced in the ways of life. the fact that he'd never "warred", persay, meant by no means that he was not learned in the art of war. if the king, whose name he was not familiar with, needed more participants in the contest of beliefs, this young mustang would not back down from the challenge.
stepping forth, the buckskin stood nearer, lobes swiveling to better capture the voice and allow his mind to discern the meaning from the words. the charcoal-hued tail snapped, accompanying a pesky fly from his rump to the wild blue yonder, and then he stood quiet, tranquil. it was the eery, calm feeling again, like the world was at peace, but prepared to unleash its fury at any moment...
I am willing to aid the Lights in any manner necessary. I have no family, few remaining friends, and, though no home (since Windy Glen ceased existing *grrr*), my beliefs are firm and set. I await your command.
...having spoken in an equally neutral voice, the steed turned to move off a ways and make room for others, ambling away towards the water at a slow, leisurely pace...

*Ray of Light* -- Prayer, 13:55:52 09/06/03 Sat [1]
A small nuzzle was spared for Dance, one meant to console the older filly. No, it definitely wasn't unusual for a foal to want their mothers when they most needed reassurance. But was it unusual when a foal didn't? This was the case for Prayer. She had effectively weaned herself from the need for her mother at a fairly early age. The wanderlust had always burned within her and was often obeyed in the company of her twin, Bright. All Prayer needed was the support of a few close friends and the leadership of someone she admired and she was good to go. Her trusting eyes said as much as they gazed upon Shaz.

(War) -- Shazaam, 11:51:48 09/07/03 Sun [1]
Serene dark brown eyes stared steadily at the buckskin before replying evenly.
"I'm not afraid of the dark."
He turned his visage to the fillies-in-training.
"Ladies, I hate to send you away but it is for your own safety. I need all of you to join DOL in Midnight Grove. She will watch out for you until this is over."
A deep breath was sucked in through paper-thin nares, preparing for his commands.
"Everyone else! All pregnant mares and all foals are to go into hiding, either at Hopeful Hideout or somewhere else. I do not want to see those particular individuals fighting. Leave at once, I will send 'round a messenger when the battles have subsided. All others who are ready to fight should congregate here. As some of you might know, Frozen Lake has been taken over. Tori is trying to round up all Lights there and redirect them here. We will move as soon as everyone is ready and make Frozen Lake the stand-off point. There should be enough of us to overwhelm the enemy, or at least even the odds a little. When we move in, pick a target and battle. If you see a fellow Light being swamped by too many evils, jump in and help him or her out. We all need to be watching out for one another."
He paused briefly, letting his words sink in.
"Any questions?"

((He's not a buckskin! *l* golden is golden .. he's cremello. Incidently, what is with writing like night is bad? ))
Oh yes, master, yes indeed I have a question. I have quite a few questions.
Caramel eyes glimmer as he flicks his silken mane from his eyes
What is your name? Are you the head goodie? What are your policies on indiscriminate slaughter? He pauses, looking thoughtful.
The most important question is, why should my fellow warriors and I respect you?
OOC - What ... is your name? What ... is your favorite colour?? hahahahahahahaha ...
*ahem*

(Magical Illusion) -- Shazaam, 07:29:41 09/08/03 Mon [1]
((Sorry! I scrolled up and caught C's description. Sorry 'bout the mix-up. And another oopsie on my part, the standoff point is SKB, not Frozen Lake as originally intended.))
He stood relaxed, his weight evenly distributed across three limbs, almost as if he was preparing for a conversation with a long time friend. His voice was quiet, reflective.
"My name is Shazaam and yes I am the 'head goodie' as you put it. I am the King of the Light horses. I do not advocate indescriminate, senseless slaughter. I firmly believe in defending one's self and protecting one's family and way of life."
At the final question, his voice grew softer.
"Why should you respect me? I would like to think that during my lifetime, I had earned the respect and trust of my fellow equines. Surely, if neither trust nor respect was present, the citizens of Cascade Mountains would never have let me ascend to the position that I now hold. Perhaps I should ask you to trust in me enough to see the end of the war. Maybe then I shall have earned your respect."
Feeling as if he had answered the questions to the best of his ability, he turned his attention to the voice coming from under the shrubbery.
"Battle should be coming soon enough. Please join the others in Sun-Kissed Beach when you are ready."

Very good. My name is E.H.
He laughs at the kings final statement, but his attitude now is less mocking and confrontational. A straight answer was what he was after, though the reply he got was not the right one.
Trust you? Never. Respect you? Not yet. But we shall see, shan't we?
He nods curtly, and turns to the bushes.
Coming, Soul? I fancy meeting up with our dragon friend on the way to the field ...

The leaves part, and the reptilian rauko slinks into view. Blacker than night, blacker than ebony, it seems to soak up the light as it moves toward the stallion, blunt head turning upward.
Soul knew to find Evil Horse here. How fares thee? Dost thou taste blood already? Soul would like to meet with Jess ... and perhaps Vulcan too. And fight.

Final Suspense:
Knowing that his colt was safe and on his way to the hideout, the sheik started to the large gathering and, upon his arrival, adressed the one in charge. My name is Final Suspense. How may I be of service in the war?
