Fantasy nodded, and spread her enormous wings. Then she reared up, pushing off the ground with her powerful hindquarters. She flapped a few times to gain altitude, and then disapeared amoungst the clouds.
Roxy turned to her leader. "Well, first we have to get back to the rest of the herd. I think they moved from when you last left, but I know where they are. Just follow me." Then the Unicorn turned, and galloped down the hillside, quickly gaining speed.

Deltora shook his neck, then ruffled his wings and prepared for takeoff. He had just spread them out when Nova stepped lightly on his back. "You cmin'?" she teased, then leapt off and soared just above Roxy's head.
The leader rolled his eyes, then went galloping down the hill at top speed. When two yards behind Roxy, he jumped up and flew ahead of the two, occasionally looking back at his friends.

"Hey, how do you know where we're going all of a sudden?" Roxy teased with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She galloped faster, taking longer, more powerful strides, until she was ahead of Nova and Deltora again. She swerved left, and called up to the two, "We're gonna go through some woods soon, I suggest you run, not fly."

Nova gracefully swooped down and landed at Roxy's side. Deltora rolled his eyes and landed ahead of them.

When the woods came in view, Roxy sped to the front of the 3 horses. She had lots of endurance, and could dodge, jump, etc, very easily in narrow spaces. "Follow me!" The Unicorn called once the had reached the wood.
She swerved left around a tree, and ducked under a branch. Leaves crunched under her hooves as she ran. A huge fallen tree blocked her way ahead, and she gained momentem. Once she reached the fallen tree, she bunched her mucles together, and lept. She easily soared over the top, and landed running on the other side.

Nova approached the log. When it seemed the last possible second, she opened her wings and glided over the wood.
Deltora pushed off with his hind legs, then spread out his limbs gleefully. He flew over the log, thumping onto the ground on thr other side.

Once they had reached the end of the woods, Roxy led the WU's across a windy plain. Roxy's rose red mane and tail streamed behind her as she galloped, feeling as light as a feather. A rumble of thunder could be heard from the dark clouds in the distance.

Nova grinned. She loved the moorlands; she was born on a grassy plain like this one. She nickered and spiraled around, then leapt into the air.
Deltora, however, was mroe fascinated in the thunder. H eloved storms. The stallion enjoyed watching lighning bolts light up the horizon. Soon, droplets pattered onto his skin. He smiled as the cool liquid caressed his body. "How much farther?" he inquired.

"Not much longer, we're almost there. The herd is on the other side of this plain near a creek and the ForestHerd boarder." Roxy called back, still looking straight ahead. The rain was coming down harder now, making it hard to see the distance where the herd would be waiting for them.

Deltora nodded, eager to reach his herd again.

They were almost there.
200ft...
50ft....
10...

Roxy lept the last 5 feet under the cover of a tree. The herd was scattered around the area, talking peacfully with eachother under the protection of the trees.

Deltora laughed. "Yes! We're home...finally, home!" He rushed ahead of the mares, drinking in the scent of the trees and a nearby stream. He turned back to Roxy and nuzzled her. "Thank you!" He shouted, then soared overhead, surveying the scene below him.
Nova chuckled. "Excuse him. He can be a tad...overeactive." She rolled her eyes, then smiled. "Hey, do you want to play or something?" She inquired, not really sure what to do now.

Roxy laughed and turned to Nova. "Sure. Do you like rain?" She asked. She was itching to race, and run freely across the plains in the storm again.

Nova smiled. "'Tis all right. I like these plains better; they're beautiful. The rain is lovely on your skin, however. Say...you seem like a racing type." The white mare winked.
