> MLP FiM Rewritten: The Filld In Gaps of Equestria's Timelines and Missing Pieces Beginning > by Appleshy918 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Disclaimer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: The Heavens Beginnings > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything has a beginning and the heavens are no exception.  The Heavens were originally filled with blacksmiths, considering the heavens had to be created somehow. Many weapons, homes and other important buildings needed to be built there, so it would only make sense for the first gods and goddesses of the soon-to-be upcoming Equestria would be blacksmiths. Well, Blacksmiths and Carpenters. Which has proven very necessary and worthy for the heavens. The blacksmiths were needed to make pots, pans, tools, hammers, nails, axes, sewing needles and many more. The Carpenters were no exception because they were needed to build and furnish buildings, not to mention installing insulation and architecting. Many of the blacksmiths and carpenters knew exactly how powerful they were and if they combined their talents together they would be unstoppable, some has good intent and some has bad intent with combining their strengths and abilities. The head of the blacksmiths' Horseshoer, was a well-respected leader of steel and other very important metals, he along with his blacksmiths was the first to discover what would soon be called the heavens. Horseshoer's personality is very reserved, prideful and very serious, but he's also extremely loyal to his inner circle, he was also known to be friendly and cooperative but most of all very patient and a strong loving fatherly figure. Despite always having a dead serious stone look on his face, Horseshoer was still known to show other emotions especially if something caught him off-guard or he became distraught. Horseshoer also has some other hidden traits about him, such as being able to see a creature's aura and knowing many different types of fighting styles and combining them all into one. One day in the developing heavens, Horseshoer received word that the crops that they have planted were starting to die, and if something wasn't figured out there would be no food left. But because he's an earth pony surely he wouldn't have trouble with figuring something out for the plant life and other food supply, but alas it wasn't the case. Horseshoer may be an earth pony but he is no garner or farmer, honestly he has to study plants in order to understand them considering he doesn't have that type of earthly connection. Horseshoer became saddened and angered by the constant daily plant life and food struggle, it was just one of those rare times when he felt lost and at this point even scared. He didn't want anypony and or creature to go hungry under his watch, and yet...it was happening and there was nothing he could do...at least, so he thought. While Horseshoer was in deep thought his best friend and top captain of the blacksmiths Thundersnow who happen to be a well-known pegasus in his group came into his quarters to inform him that there were some surprising visitors there, Horseshoer wasted no time and quickly headed out to see who these visitors were. Hestia, the leader of the carpenters was very compassionate and a motherly figure, Hestia was known for being an architect, earth connection and care of kin. She was indeed an interesting carpenter unicorn because just like Horseshoer there is more to her than meets the eye, Hestia was extremely compassionate, very loyal and had an amazing sense of humor. She did share something in common with Horseshoer, Hestia also had an aura ability that could help her since or tune into any creature that had some kind of bad feeling or even a good feeling. Hestia and her group of carpenters were drawn to what would soon be called the “heavens” later on down the line, as hestia and her group drew closer she could sense there was a grave disturbance and despair, as for somepony who always wore her heart on her sleeve she couldn't help but feel saddened and concern.  Horseshoer: “Who goes there?” Horseshoer’s voice rained-out snapping Hestia out of her deep thought. Hestia: “Please forgive our trespassing, it's just that we've been drawn here and winter is coming up…may we please stay here until next spring?” Hestia: “I just wish for my inner circle here to be nice and warm, without having to worry about freezing or catching a cold.” Hestia was not wrong, fall was quickly approaching and very soon it would be winter. Horseshoer knew the right thing to do was to let them stay for as long as they needed, after all this group met no harm so who would he be to turn them away so suddenly without any reasoning? Horseshoer: *nods* “Yes, of course you may stay…in fact, stay as long as you may want.” Hestia smiled warmly and thankfully at him. Hestia: “Oh, thank you so much kind sir.” *does a curtsy* “I'm eternally grateful to your compassion and kindness.” Horseshoer returned the bow and welcomed her and her group with open hooves, but then Thundersnow quickly reminding him that there's barely enough food as is. Thundersnow: “Horseshoer, Sir…there's barely enough food now as is, how could we support our own group and her’s at the same time?” Horseshoer: *remembered the issue and let it out a somewhat saddened tired sigh* “I am fully well aware captain, but we can't just turn them away without any good reasoning…it…wouldn't be right.” Thundersnow: “I completely understand sir, I will help them get situated immediately and help with The Grand Tour.”  Horseshoer: “Thank you Thundersnow, I appreciate it.”  The two then shared a warm gentle smile before turning and heading back to base camp to get things situated with their new company. > Prologue 2: The Grand Tour > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Horseshoer and Thundersnow helped Hestia and her group get settled in before they begin their tour, horseshoer proudly beamed at their progress with their newfound home, sure it's a work-in-progress but so far they're making pretty good progress despite it being almost being winter. Hestia could definitely see and feel that Horseshoer was definitely proud and happy with his groups and his own progress, but yet...something was still very off almost like if he was trying to hide a great sadness and fear at the same time, Hestia knew it was really none of her business, but she was still curious and very concerned. she honestly hasn't been drawn there for no reason after all, so obviously it was necessary to get to the bottom of the situation. Taking a deep breath, Hestia very carefully try to ask Horseshoer what was the issue without upsetting or offending him. Hestia: *politely clears her throat and looks at horseshoer*  “So, umm, sir?...” Horseshoer: “Please ma'am, call me Horseshoer.” He said with a warm gentle smile, that was almost enough to make Hestia blush. Hestia: “Ahh silly me, I was so busy trying to make sure my group was settled and also getting caught up in the tour...I forgot to properly introduce myself.” A small light blush crept across her face. Horseshoer: “Oh, it's fine ma'am. I didn't properly introduce myself either cuz I was also caught up in this, so you're not alone.” Horseshoer said with a warm gentle smile. Hestia: *returning the kind warm smile* “I'm Hestia, but you can call me Hesty...it's a nickname of mine.” Horseshoer happily smiled and nodded at the name and even the suggestion of the nickname. Horseshoer: “Alright Miss Hesty, you can just call me Shoer if it's easy for ya.” Horseshoer said, his guard slightly dropping when it comes to her as he continued beaming at her. Hestia: *feeling the warmth inside her heart as it begins to melt* “You're so sweet Shoer.” Hestia said with a warm, gentle and goofy smile as her blush becomes bigger, redder and deeper. Thundersnow was quick to take notice that his best friend and boss were definitely dropping his guard quite a bit when it came to Miss Hestia, but he wasn't the only one who noticed. Hestia's little sister Gaia Meadowrose, a beautiful carpenter earth pony, also noticed that her big sister was definitely starting to fall for this blacksmith. She doesn't and couldn't blame her dear sister, Gaia always used to tell Hestia she will find the perfect stallion of her dreams someday and it looks like it's already coming true. Despite the sudden obvious growing crush, the tour continued, Gaia Meadowrose notice some clouds that were still barren. It was obvious that they were trying to figure something out for those batches of clouds, Gaia went to ask Horseshoer about it, but the sudden somber pleading look on Thundersnow's face stopped her. Thundersnow: “It's a touchy subject Miss, Horseshoer is already aware of this and I think it's best if he just forgets about it at least for the time being...he's feeling happier right now than he ever did, so...why burden him about it right now?” Thundersnow said with a polite warm and pleading tone, followed by the exact same look. Gaia Meadowrose: *nods as she continues to walk with the group* Thundersnow: “I'm sorry if I came off rude Miss...it wasn't my intention to come off that way and I apologize.” He said in a warm, gentle apologetic tone. Gaia Meadowrose: “Oh no sir, I understand, I don't wish for my big sister to be troubled either.” She said with a very kind and warm gentle smile. Thundersnow: “Thank you for understanding Miss.” Gaia Meadowrose: “You're welcome Sir, I'm Gaia Meadowrose by the way. but you can just call me Gaia.” Thundersnow: “Nice to meet you Miss Gaia, I'm Thundersnow.” Gaia Meadowrose: “It's nice to meet you too Thundersnow.” Thundersnow and Gaia Meadowrose also began to chat up a storm, the tour was halfway done but there was still a little bit more to see. The future Heavens had so much potential but still so much work needed to be done on it, but as of right now it was still a much-needed work-in-progress. It was currently a small village esk town after all, small houses and stores were already set up and other parts of it was still underway, a lot of the clouds wear soft and light as feathers and lightheaded pillows and although there were still some places that were at this current moment still barren, it was still a beautiful view overall. The solid clouds were obviously used for the buildings and houses, but still soft enough that if you would hit it very hard or fell it wouldn't hurt. plus they have potential use for other types of other architecture, and as of right now some of the clouds were currently trying to be used as gardens. But as of sadly of right now it was an epic fail, especially on the blacksmiths part. The seasons of this current moment is still very uncontrollable, considering the blacksmiths and carpenters hasn't made any balance YET. The tour concluded at a very interesting stop, and it just happened to be at what will soon be the heavens Town Hall. The reason why it was so important and very interesting what's because it contained records, records up on records of Horseshoer and his blacksmiths group. It's also contain the blacksmith secrets and their blueprints and weapons, it even contained more of their equipment and important treasures, all neatly organized in specific rooms and files. Horseshoer: “I must be honest with you, I don't trust you enough to show you classified documents of ours...not trying to say you and your group ain't trustworthy, I just can't risk anything being taken let alone stolen and used against us.” Hestia: “Oh I completely understand Shoer, I'm the same way so I know exactly where you're coming from. Before we can truly trust each other and that type of way we have to get to know each other.” Horseshoer: “Thank you for understanding Hesty.” The two then smiled warmly and very kindly at each other, it is quite obvious they both get each other and understand one another. Horseshoer and Thundersnow lead Hestia, Gaia and their group back to their portable houses, afterwards what little food they did have they happily shared. > Prologue 3: Traitors In Our Mix > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Grand Tour had ended and supper was underway, because sadly there was still very little food Horseshoer and Thundersnow happily shared their plate of food with Hestia and Gaia. Which both mares happily appreciated, of course they felt bad that the two stallions gave up quite a bit from their plates, Hestia and Gaia couldn't help but feel bad considering Horseshoer and Thundersnow barely had anything on their plates now. it was indeed a sign that they had very little and that they were sacrificing most of it for not only their own group but also for Hestia and her own group. Horseshoer and Thundersnow both smiled warmly and assuringly at the mares, indicating that they were perfectly fine with it as they also nodded. Horseshoer: “It's alright fillies, personally I'm not that hungry anyway." Thundersnow: “Same here, our top priority is making sure all of you are fed. even if it means sacrificing a little bit off our own plates." Hestia: “...You guys shouldn't have to do that, I apply you for what you guys are doing but it still shouldn't be this way." Hestia said somberly and guiltfully. Gaia Meadowrose: “Hestia's right, though we can relate it's still very depressing." Thundersnow: “It's literally our job Miss Gaia." *Smiles warmly and assuringly* “We thank you for caring but it's no problem at all." Horseshoer: “Thundersnow is right, we appreciate your caring and compassionate but just leave the troubles to us and we will figure something out as soon as we can." Horseshoer said confidently. Hestia: “I don't doubt it Shoer, I just feel guilty that we're basically making you sacrifice your own food for us." Horseshoer: “Miss Hesty, I promise you it's no trouble for us at all. Thundersnow and I look out for our group's well-being, and that includes our guests as well." Horseshoer said with a warm gentle tone, smile and charm. Not just, any charm but a specific charm, one that not only holds confidence and reassurance, but also true generous, honesty, kindness and loyalty as well. Hestia knew right then and there that he is indeed the one and only, as his aura continue to give off that same glow that his tone gave off she knew right then and there that she now need to prove herself to him. However unknown to her she already had just begun to prove it to him, Horseshoer felt that aura beaming right back from her onto him, and that's when he then realized that he too also had found the one. Unfortunately though the good times will not last forever, unknown to both of them, they both had traitors in their own mix, they will personally stop at nothing to make their lives a living hell. One of them was named Grogar, a ram sorcerer who also happened to be a blacksmith in Horseshoer's group and will soon be known as "The Father Of Monsters." Grogar is a force to be reckoned with, his Bewitching Bell contains a pot load of magic most specifically dark magic. His personality is cold, ruthless and dangerous, he's also very power-hungry and has been waiting for his moment to stab Horseshoer in the back. Grogar's master plan is to stab everyone in their backs, except for the ones that happens to be his followers and that worships the ground that he walks on, but even then he wouldn't be opposed to betraying them especially after he got everything that he wanted from them. Horseshoer personally knows that Grogar is contain with dark negative energy and magic, but however if used a correct way it could be used as a force for good instead of evil. Horseshoer got a bad vibe from Grogar since day one, he just desperately wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and also be proven wrong about him not betraying any of them. Unfortunately little did Horseshoer know that Grogar was too far gone and he was just a lost cost, Grogar managed to gain a small bit of followers even from Horseshoer's group, the false promises that he'd be a much more qualified better leader than Horseshoer and will solve problems much quicker and easier than what he ever could. So blinded by the lies and false promises that they decided to follow Grogar instead of their actual boss who has proven to be more kind and compassionate Grogar. Horseshoer wasn't the only one who had traitors In his mix, poor Hestia also had them but unfortunately she was unaware of it. Amulea, a human among Hestia's group. Amulea is no ordinary human, she was a carpenter which imposing as a wicca, just someone who practice medicine and healing techniques, offering her services to anyone who may need it. Hestia was so mood and impressed by Amulea's talents, abilities and smarts that she offered her a job as natural healing medicine woman in her group, and not only that but to also to use it on those who truly needs it other than her own group, even going as far as to ask about her preserving her knowledge by teaching them how it's done. Amulea then realized it was a golden opportunity for her, getting close and gathering secrets could prove to be useful and very helpful for her very own selfish reasons, plus the leader Hestia seemed to be very stupid and a very easy one to sucker so she did not dare pass up that opportunity. Amulea also knew that Hestia contained some special abilities and powers, so if she played her cards right she would indeed have all the power at her fingertips. Amulea also started to grow her own followers and worshippers overtime when Hestia first ask her to be a part of their group, some of Hestia's own group members are planning on stabbing her in the back when Amulea gives the signal. Grogar had sensed there were also traitors in Hestia's group, Amulea seems to have a similar goal and just like Grogar, she will not stop until she gets everything she wants, overthrowing Hestia is just the tip of the iceberg and she obviously have more plans in mine than just that. While the leaders and their group is distracted with super and small talk, Grogar saw his opportunity to pull Amulea aside and talk to her about his plan and then asking her to be one with his group, knowing full well they all will be unstoppable together. Grogar offered a partnership and whatever Amulea wants she'll get, the ram was very persistent on wanting her and him to be partners but before they could officially be partners they would have to not only have an alliance but a contract as well. Amulea said that she needed extra time to think about it and they would still have to talk about everything with their respected groups together, none of them can't risk losing their faithful followers and worshippers, they had to make it look good for them specifically to indicate that they do care what their followers have to say. what exactly was the point of stabbing Horseshoer and Hestia in their back if they didn't have their crutches, shields and sacrifices willing to do anything for them especially risk their own lives to save their asses? Amulea knew full well that she didn't build up her reputation behind Hestia's back, getting the ones that was willing to forsaken Hestia and go against her with allies that she fed to them about her and then have it settling ripped away from her, especially if truth got out early and they all realize that Amulea it's not the one to listen to and or follow. Grogar knew Amulea had a point, if he would make a sudden big decision without asking his followers and worshippers what they wanted or needed they would surely catch him in his act and he could be done for and everything be taken away so suddenly. NO, Grogar worked his ass off to get to where he is right now and he'd be damned if he lost it so suddenly, Grogar needed to make sure that his followers and worshipers would support him on this decision, and just like Amulea once they made their decision there was no going back. Grogar: “You are absolutely right Amulea, we both worked too damn hard to have them betray us now." Amulea: “Exactly my point Grogar, I even entrusted one of those gullible idiots with some of my secrets. Thankfully I scared them bad enough that they wouldn't dare to take a peek in it, but if they would ever go against me I'm pretty sure one of them would have the cojones to do so." Grogar: “Indeed you are right, it's even the same with me." Amulea: “So we agreed? make sure our followers and worshippers are on board with this idea, and then overthrow Horseshoer and Hestia?" Grogar: “Yes, right after we go over our plans and sign some agreements and contracts here and there." Amulea: “Who knows ramey, if all goes well we can rule the entire world together maybe even start our own towns and nations." Grogar: “I like the way you think fleshy, no doubt about will have all living beings that are created catered to our every whim." Amulea: “It's settled then, but before this conversation ends I must know...where exactly is this meeting going to be held?" Grogar: “at Town Hall of course, where else would you think?" Grogar said sarcastically. Amulea: “Fair enough, but isn't that place guarded very well?" Amulea asked incredulously Grogar: *smiled and laughed deviously* “I literally have the privilege and pleasure of guarding that place, I have just about every access to almost every room you can think of. either one room that contains some classified documents of my potions and spells." he beamed and said being cocky. Amulea: “just about and almost is not exactly full access to everything in there." she remarked mockingly. Grogar was not happy being mocked and he made that perfectly clear with her. Grogar: *narrowed his eyes* “HEY! that's a work in progress! it's not exactly easy gaining Horseshoer's trust when he expects that you're up to no good, so getting all access is still a work in progress!" Amulea: “HA! did you truly do need a Lady's Help, thankfully I have an idea of my own. not to mention I've got something that will help out with this current situation." Amulea pulled the book out of her bag, but not just any old book. A book that contained ancient old spells, potions, blueprints and instructions on how to do them correctly. Oddly enough that booked look like it belonged to Hestia at one point, but now a good portion of it is unrecognizable. Amulea: “Hestia gave me one of her important books that contains ancient old spells, potions, blueprints and instructions, she even encouraged me to add whatever knowledge that I have into this book so it would be well preserved. I almost feel sorry for that numbskull, she unknowingly gave me almost every power that I could ever want plus putting my own stuff into it, she even crafted me a wicca necklace that has all the powers of a wicca. but little does she know I'm actually a witch!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qzWRiHqhbk Amulea laughed, knowing full well what Hestia did was very stupid and reckless. She obviously put a lot of faith and trust into this quote "Wicca" failing to realize that it was an imposter, an opportunist, a traitor, and even a backstabber that will go as far as to harming those in her Inner Circle even the ones that are very loyal to her to the end. Grogar smiled wickedly, he knew now to never underestimate Amulea and that she truly is the wickedness of them all. Grogar: “Impressive indeed Amulea, we truly will be an Unstoppable team." Amulea: “If we play our cards right that is, we must make sure that our followers and worshippers are on board with this before our plans can continue on." With that said, Grogar and Amulea headed right back to the others and played it off as an innocent conversation that they had to each other. Horseshoer and Hestia had a sinking feeling that their group members were up to no good but they just didn't want to admit it especially Hestia, Hestia most of all didn't like that feeling or to admit that Amulea was up to no good. She did put a lot of her faith and trust into Amulea after all, even at one point her own Inner Circle and her own life, so she would be very devastated if that was truly the case. Even though that Hestia is known to take precaution just in case if anyone in her group would betray her, it would still be very devastating nonetheless because she trusts everyone in her Inner Circle. Hestia may sense now clearer than ever that Amulea is nothing more than a phony-baloney, she just wishes that part could be wrong and that it ain't true, but even Horseshoer sense it too and just like Hestia he also hopes for this to be false but it's unfortunately highly unlikely. Just as soon as night felled Grogar and Amulea gathered their followers slash worshippers and headed to town hall, once getting to the meeting room Grogar was the first speak and call the meeting to order. There he began to explain his plans and goals, going into much detail as possible and of course sitting close to him was none other than Amulea, carefully listening to everything that he is saying and also prepared to make the deals and agreements. Grogar: “And that my lovely followers is how we're going to overthrow Horseshoer and Hestia, and also why I think we need more allies." Amulea: “Even I think there is no reason to question or argue on this, two parties are better than one after all and besides the weaklings will never know what truly hit them." Grogar: “EXACTLY! there is a saying that there are power and numbers, and together we will be stronger than ever." Each group looked at one another and then each other, they thought about it among themselves and not all of them really had any objections or questions to this. However there seemed to be one that had questions and even concerns, a gargoyle named Swordpot. Swordpot was not only the very first gargoyle but also the very first male in the carpenter group, Hestia's group were mainly all females and he was surprisingly the very first male in that group. It's very surprising that Swordpot would betray Hestia and Gaia, Swordpot's personality is a good heart and gentle personality and likes hugs and cuddling, he some misunderstood vulnerable creature and that's exactly how Amulea tricked him into working for her. She played on his vulnerable state and deep down inside he knows he's making a big mistake, Swordpot raised his hand confidently but very nervously. Grogar: “Yes Swordpot, what's your question?" Swordpot: *begins sweating nervously* “Forgive me if it seems that I'm questioning your Authority...but aren't we all making a big mistake betraying our groups?" Swordpot said as he continued. “They were there for us the most when we needed them, and it seems wrong of us to go against them without any actual good reasoning." Amulea: “You truly are an idiot Swordpot, are supposed groups can't offer us anything that we want let alone what we need." Amulea said, continuing to manipulate him and pull up a vulnerable state that he's in. “Hestia and Gaia only let someone like you sticking around because they just filled that bad for you, they know you'll never find anyone to actually love you for you. not just because your appearance but also because of your own smarts which it's really none at all, I'm literally offering to help this wonderful group out like yourself actually fine not only true love but also true happiness. something that Hestia and Gaia CAN'T do." Swordpot then went quiet as he sat back down with his head down, Hestia and Gaia were honestly the reason why he was there in that group in the first place, they see beauty in everything even in someone like him but according to what Amulea is saying it's all a lie. Grogar: “now with all of that said I believe we all have some paperwork and contracts to fill out, so Amulea if you'd kindly start off first with you and your group signing these papers, I'm sure by the time when daylight comes will-" ???: “NOT SO FAST!" A male and female voice rang out interrupting the contract and paperwork signing, the group turned their attention to where the voices were coming from and saw some very uninvited and pissed off guess. Horseshoer, Hestia, Thundersnow, Gaia Meadowrose and the rest of their groups behind the four leaders were all looking piss, disappointed and devastated. Hestia could barely keep from crying when she saw members of not just her own group but Horseshoer's group betrayed them like this, Swordpot couldn't bear the thought of causing to ponies along with true friends in the actual right group hurting like this. Gaia Meadowrose: “HOW COULD YOU ALL!?" Gaia yelled at the top of her lungs not bothering to hold back what furia she had. “we...TRUSTED YOU!" Amulea: *smirked and cackle evilly* “You guys are the idiots for not making sure if I was who I said I am, maybe if you guys were more aware of who you are dealing with you would have really known who I am." Grogar: “I must say that I give Horseshoer more credit than what I give Hestia, at least he had his guard up and wasn't going to make a stupid mistake like some of you did." Horseshoer: “Don't you dare start talking trash to or about Hestia!" Horseshoer shouted angrily, knowing full well Hestia is hurting more than what he is. Amulea: “It looks like the knight in shining armor is trying to protect his fair maiden." Amulea mocked. Before any other words were exchanged Grogar and Amulea ignited their powers and quickly disappeared with their followers slash worshippers, because earth was untamed at the time not to mention unpredictable and not yet claimed, Grogar and Amulea knew exactly where the setup basecamp and afterwards begin building their very first kingdom before they claim the future heavens. As of right now certain contracts and paperwork still needed to be filled out, so before all else setting up base camp and then working on the papers and contracts will be the first move before their actual plans begins. > Prologue 4: Harsh Bitter Winters > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fall was officially over and winter was upon them, these passing days has unfortunately not been easy for either of the carpenters or blacksmiths. Horseshoer and Hestia have been completely out of it due to the shock and heartbreak so it was up to Thundersnow and Gaia Meadowrose to take charge of the slowly developing heavens until the top leaders were feeling better mentally and emotionally, Thundersnow how to pick up so much slack not just on Horseshoer's part but even his own considering not only he's supposed to be second-in-command for his best friend but also because he is the captain. Thundersnow had to go over all the list and details to not only protect their group but also their homes as well, not to mention there was still the food supply shortage that needed to be figured out at once. Extra weapons and security protocols would also need to be a necessary must have to keep from getting betrayed and possibly hurt in many horrible ways ever again, the burden of keeping their home and inner circle safe and secured rest squarely on his shoulders and considering his best friend and boss is emotionally and mentally unwell it was all up to him now. Gaia Meadowrose knew exactly where Thundersnow was coming from, she never saw her big sister Hestia looking so defeated in ever and considering how her big sister always tries her damn hardest to keep the peace and to make sure no one falls apart...but then suddenly it does take some really bad toll on pores hestia's mental and emotional state, Gaia wish to make her big sister happy again but unfortunately she did not know how. Gaia's task at this current moment was to make sure all group parties remained calm and to take over her sister's duties, she looked out of the corner of her eyes and saw Thundersnow currently struggling with a heavy wagon of papers. Gaia Meadowrose offered her assistance and Thundersnow happily took it, it was a silent trot to town hall but once they got their words were finally exchanged. Thundersnow: “Thank you for your help Gaia, I appreciate it.” Thundersnow smiled. Gaia Meadowrose: “You're welcome Thundersnow, it was no trouble at all.” Gaia smiled back. Thundersnow and Gaia walked into town hall and went into his office, he was swamped stacks on stacks of paperwork and this extra bit was just more to the list. Thundersnow let out a tired and somewhat defeated sigh, he couldn't lose his mind now considering his best friend and boss isn't mentally and emotionally well yet not to mention he had his own personal duties to fulfill, thundersnow knew he had to stay strong and he couldn't let the overwhelmness take over him now. Gaia saw the look of defeat on Thundersnow's face and due to the terrible mental and emotional state that her poor sister is in she can relate, Gaia trying to keep up what was left of a positive attitude offered to help Thundersnow once again...or at least tried to the best of her abilities. Thundersnow once again happily accepted her kind offer plus he could use a little bit of company while he was stuck in his office, the duo then got to work on the papers and not all of it was easy. The demands for extra supplies and bare essentials were literally insane, it would be highly impossible to get at least half of the things they needed because winter has begun and some would have to travel a good bit in order to get what they needed. Gaia knew this was going to be very tough but she was not going to back down without a fight, she knew she was going to need some help but she was still willing to do it herself. Gaia Meadowrose: “Thundersnow, I have an idea.” Thundersnow: “What is it Gaia?” Gaia Meadowrose: “I'll go down to earth and get the supplies that we need, I will ask two of the carpenters and two of the blacksmiths to accompany me and help me get the supplies.” Thundersnow's eyes widen in both surprisement and somewhat fear. Thundersnow: “Are you NUTS GAIA!?!” Thundersnow shouted that last part out so loud that almost everyone who may have been walking by could have heard it. Thundersnow: “It's deadly cold out there, What If Only They returned in you don't!?” Gaia Meadowrose: “I understand your concern Thundersnow, but I assure you will all return safely.” Gaia said in a calm gentle town. Thundersnow: “I doubt that, the earth down below at this current moment is a wasteland of winter snow. how can you be so sure that you and four others would make it back alive?” Gaia Meadowrose: “Earth is a second home to me, it may be wild and unpredictable now but my sister and I friend the earth. we are kind to it and in return it's kind to us.” Gaia explained that her and her sister were technically residents down on earth, plus their carpenter group has also been residents on Earth before so they would be recognized, and as long as the blacksmiths that will be accompanying her down there they will be recognized as friends so their safety is guaranteed. Thundersnow thought it over and reluctantly he agreed, he pleaded and begged Gaia to be careful and to also take some supplies with her that she may need. Gaia accepted as she took a small load of supplies and gathered up to carpenters and two blacksmiths, one carpenter was a beautiful flutter pony named Rosa Petals. Her coat was a vanilla cream butter color, but her mane and tail were the color of a red and pink rose, and the tips of her hair was colored the same color as a yellow rose and her eyes were a beautiful Sapphire Ocean Sky Blue. Rosa Petals's wings were a bit of a see-through rose gold color and they were as big but slightly larger as a butterfly's wings, And her personality is very kind, wise, realistic, and practical. At the same time, she also has an idealistic side to her. She will and does try to putter her group first before herself, and sees her Inner Circle more than just friends or acquaintances. Rosa Petals is the future goddess of the flutter ponies, and she will be their creator The second carpenter is a beautiful female deer named Treesaforest, don't let the gentle and kind look full you because when push comes to shove she could be a real badass. Treesaforest personality is strong, independent, intimidating, loyal, confident, brave and kind. Treesaforest is also an amazing singer, singing voice is just so smooth. She also is a friend of earth and that's very close connected to it. One day Treesaforest will also be a goddess and creator of all the deers. And now was left were the two blacksmiths that is required to join Gaia and the other two Carpenters out on a supply Adventure, the first one's name is Cosmobrights. A male unicorn that keeps the balance and harmony of all worlds safe and secure, he is also the blacksmith of light and dark and known to have good grace and appear heart. The second blacksmith a centaur named Fog Opal, A intelligent, loyal, honourable, kind and generous soul who has an undying love for his inner circle and to whomever he becomes close with. Fog Opal also has been training and teaching himself how to heal any type of ailments or even heal those that are mentally and emotionally distraught, simply put he's trying to learn how to be a healer for the body, heart, mind, and spirit. Gaia Meadowrose: “If you guys want to, I could use all four of your help to gather up supplies that we will need.” Rosa Petals: “Of course Gaia, will be happy to help.” Treesaforest: *smiled as she nodded in agreement* “You can count on us, Gaia!” Treesaforest said proudly and confidently. Cosmobrights: *does a gentleman bow* “I'll be happy to help a competent you on getting supplies Miss Gaia.” Fog Opal: *smiles and nods politely as he took her hoof into his hand before planting a kiss on her hoof* “I am honored that you would also ask me to come along and I promise to listen to everything you say.” Thundersnow couldn't help it feel territorial when it came to Gaia, just something about her being kissed even if it was just on the hoof just made him feel slightly threatened. he cleared his throat very noisily to get their attention. Thundersnow: *AHEM!* Everyone turned their attention to Thundersnow and realized what was going on, Fog Opal sheepishly and gently released Gaia's hoof and apologized. With all said and done Gaia and the four group members took off down to earth, she couldn't help but giggle at Thundersnow's reaction. It confirmed her suspicions that he was obviously digging on her, and if she's, to be honest, she was also digging on him too. Horseshoer's Private Quarters Horseshoer sat at his desk thinking about what he had done wrong because him being the leader of the blacksmiths, their safety and well-being rested squarely upon his shoulders. He knew he wasn't the only one feeling the mental and emotional pain, Hestia also knows full well about this heavy burden on their shoulders plus she also got the trade by certain members of her own group. Horseshoer: [ "Wait...HESTIA! how could I've been so selfish and stupid!? of course, she would be suffering just as hard as I am, I'm not the only one that has been betrayed and yet here I am acting like I'm the only one that has been. And what's worse I left Thundersnow alone with the heavy burden of leading the group while at the same time, he does his own work as a captain. I left him with too much on his plate and now he's going to overexert himself, I CAN'T allow this."] With that, Horseshoer bolted out of his private quarters and ran as fast as he could to town hall. He still may be hurting and not in the best state but he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if his best friend would have fallen ill because he got overexerted. Town Hall Thundersnow continue to do as much paperwork as he could, he still felt worried for his best friend slash boss, Hestia and Gaia herself. It may have been just 10 minutes since Gaia, Rosa Petals, Treesaforest, Cosmobrights and Fog Opal left to go gather some supplies but to him, it seems like it was taking forever. Thundersnow: [“What am I going to tell Hestia if her little sister doesn't return? How could I ever live with myself if something would happen to her or to the others?"] Thundersnow debated with himself if he should go down to earth and help Gaia and the other four to get the supplies as well, as of right now the Earth at this current moment is still a winter Wasteland and not properly balanced yet. Not everyone has an immunity to the cold and if they stay down there that long they could probably catch one, before his thoughts wandered into darker territory Horseshoer barged in scaring the living hell out of Thundersnow, because of that sudden shock he jumped so high up that his head got stuck in the ceiling. Horseshoer: "THUNDERSNOW!" Horseshoer exclaimed, as he quickly ran to grab a sturdy ladder from a closet and help Thundersnow pull his head out of the ceiling if possible. Horseshoer: *finally got Thundersnow's head out of the ceiling* "I am so sorry there buddy." Thundersnow: “It's okay dude, you pulled me out of my dark thoughts so I owe you one." Horseshoer and Thundersnow fixed the ceiling and then got to work on those papers, the two made a great tag team filling out papers together and getting things done in the office much faster. The two were always great at working together and pairing up so well, Horseshoer and Thundersnow are brothers but from different mothers. Thundersnow: “How are you feeling Sir?" Thundersnow asked very warmly. Horseshoer: "Slowly recovering, but overall I am getting better. thanks for asking Thunder." Horseshoer said with a warm kind smile. Thundersnow: “Always Shoer." Thundersnow replied smiling back at him. Horseshoer and Thundersnow finally finished off over half of that paperwork before Horseshoer quickly headed off to check up on Hestia, Thundersnow was relieved that Gaia wasn't brought up. But in any case, he was still very worried and hoping that she'd be back in the developing Heavens soon, the days are always short when it's winter and he didn't want any of them to freeze to death down there, especially Gaia. Hestia's Hut Hestia sat in her hut at her desk looking over her important books and papers, one book in particular caught her attention just happened to be the same similar book that she gave to Amulea that contain the spells and potions that she believed had good intent turned out to be not so good after all. Hestia was still very devastated at this fact but however there was now possibly a new hope, Amulea had no idea that the book that she continues to use that contains all of her spells and potions is enchanted and connected to Hestia's enchanted book. Hestia now remembers and realizes all of this, she quickly gathered ink, quills and scrolls that contains every spell and blueprint that Amulea and her ever made together. Fixing and adjusting whatever type of horrible thing that Amulea writes, Hestia will be able to quickly counteract without Amulea and the other traitors knowledge, none of them are aware that whatever they write and that book will just go straight to Hestia's and only she will have access to that book unless you grants someone else permission to access. *KNOCK! KNOCK!* Hestia: *not turning away from adjusting and recreating certain spells and potions in the book, but does acknowledge that someone obviously is coming to check on her* “Come in." Horseshoer: *walked in with a concerned look on his face* “Hesty, I'm sorry to bother you but...I just wanted to check up on you and see how you were doing." Hestia: *stopped what she was doing and turn to him smiling very warmly* “I'm doing much better now, sure I'm still hurt and bothered about being betrayed like that...but, I have just realized we can counteract Grogar and Amulea's plans." Horseshoer: *raised eyebrow* “How so?" Hestia: “I gave Amulea a book at one point, but not just any book, an enchanted book. whatever she writes and it will go straight to my enchanted book, which means I can rewrite and counteract whatever type of evil thing she is trying to put out in the world. one of the best parts is she doesn't know that both of those books are connected to one another and things that she may put in her book will stay the same meanwhile I can change it on my end and she doesn't have access to this book that I have." Horseshoer: *begin smiling very brightly* “Good idea! you really are clever." Hestia: *giggled slightly* “Thanks Shoer." Town Hall Thundersnow finally finished up and was ready to call it a night, however there was one thing that stopped him. Thundersnow: [“Gaia...where are you? it's been hours."] Thundersnow thought to himself very worriedly. He knew full well that Gaia and the others should have been back by now but they weren't, he feared for their health and safety. Thundersnow knew full well that he should inform Hestia and Horseshoer, but because of his best friend finally starting to feel a little better and not to mention he doesn't know Hestia's state of mind right now. He thought it'd be a good idea if he just left them a note while he personally goes out there down on the freezing blizzard of Earth and get them back himself. Thundersnow quickly wrote two notes and left one at the office and the other at Horseshoer's Private Quarters, with that out of the way, Thundersnow quickly packed his saddlebags and headed down to earth to try to find Gaia and the others. Earth Earth indeed was definitely a wasteland of snow and ice in the winter and very bitterly cold, it only got like that because the land needed time to heal and rebirth itself to get ready for the following springs and summers to come. Many supplies were definitely hard to come by in the winter, sometimes you are lucky to even find what you needed to survive at least a week before you had to go out again, Gaia thankfully knew much safer routes to get where they needed to gather their supplies. The chilly crisp air nipped at all of their noses and even occasionally made them run, Gaia thankfully have some handkerchiefs with her and happily gave them to her company. Cosmobrights: “Thank you Gaia, I often get a small case of the sniffles whenever it gets cold out. And I forgot to bring my handkerchief, so I appreciate you giving me one." Gaia Meadowrose: “It's no problem at all Cosmo, I'm glad to help." Treesaforest: “GAIA! I just now finished collecting all the gallons of water that we will need." Rosa Petals: “And I just finished Gathering the food that we will all need, and I can guarantee that this will definitely last us until spring." Gaia Meadowrose: “That's wonderful girls! now we just need to gather up some medical supplies, plus firewood and a large crate of iron." Fog Opal: “Thankfully the resources for medical supplies are easily found with the path that we're on, so you just leave that to me." Gaia Meadowrose: “I will get the crate that contains the iron that will need. Treesa and Rosa, would you please gather the firewood?" Treesaforest and Rosa Petals: “Yes Gaia." Gaia Meadowrose: “Thank you so much, girls." With that said the five of them begin to collect the rest of the supplies that would last until spring officially arrived, they wasted no time to continue down on their path and begin collecting the following items that are required. Meanwhile, Thundersnow continue to search desperately for the small group members that were out collecting supplies. Completely unaware that they were doing fine and were just about done on their outing, Thundersnow's paranoia and the worst-case scenario finally got the better of him and he was out in the freezing cold and had no clue where the crap he was going. Thundersnow may be a strong powerful pegasus, and anything that was related to the snow was indeed up his alley. That didn't mean that he still was safe from getting sick from it, Thundersnow had already developed a runny muzzle and had no idea where he was currently going, like the stubborn Captain blacksmith he was he continued forward and vowed never to stop until he finds them. Thundersnow's muzzle twitched and flare up, he felt little icicles growing in his nose hair, and finally his sinuses just couldn't take it anymore. The chilly air finally got to his sinuses, Thundersnow unfortunately had no tissue or hanky with him, so he quickly used one of his front four legs and his wing to sneeze in. Thundersnow: *breathe hedged as he quickly wrapped his four leg and wing around his muzzle* a-a-A-A-A-CHOO! *sniffle* “Uhhh, I HATE sneezing...I'm glad no one heard me." He said grumbling to himself, with that said Thundersnow continued to search well at the same time trying to stifle back whatever sneeze came his way. Gaia Meadowrose: *looking over the list to see if they had everything that they needed until this spring* “Ok, water?" Treesaforest: “finished collecting all 41 gallons of water, and to make sure we don't run out regardless I took the liberty of getting 5 extra barrel size buckets of water." Gaia Meadowrose: *checked it off the list* “Food?" Rosa Petals: “Collected enough where it will even last us even after the first two months of spring." Gaia Meadowrose: *checked it off the list* “Firewood?" Cosmobrights: “Got all that we need plus a little extra to last at least seven more months." Gaia Meadowrose: *checked it off the list* “And the medical supplies?" Fog Opal: “Successfully collected enough that will last us until 2 weeks in this coming spring." Gaia Meadowrose: *checked it off the list* “It seems that we're all set! now as for my part-" Gaia was suddenly cut off sensing trouble in the distance beyond the path that she and her group were on, and she wasn't the only one that was feeling that disturbance. Treesa, Rosa, Cosmo and Fog Opal also sensed some trouble. They all looked to each other very worriedly as they hurried and put the rest of the supplies onto their sled like chariot and dashed off to the direction where they felt a great disturbance and somewhat distress, the five followed the sounds very closely and soon they reached a dangerous territory regarding Earth's Frozen Wasteland. Gaia, Treesa, Rosa, Cosmo and Fog Opal were in icy water plus Avalanche territory, any type of sudden loud noises could end in serious disaster for all of them. Just one wrong step or the tiniest sneeze could get them all buried in a blanket of ice-cold snow plus being knocked into the frozen water, they had to move fast but very carefully at the same time so it's not to cause any disturbance. Gaia and the group swiftly but carefully begin to look around to see who was in danger and in distress, it didn't take too long to find who it was especially when they heard someone's breath hitched. Gaia Meadowrose: *was in horror when she realized who it was and what was about to happen* “Oh no." she said realizing who it was and what was about ready to happen, well still to the best of her abilities tried to be very quiet. Thundersnow knew fully well he was in dangerous territory, just a sudden loud noise and he was a goner not to mention whoever might be caught in the crossfire would also be done for, unfortunately though his muzzle was so agitated it just didn't care. He desperately tried to hold back his sneeze with all of his might but unfortunately, he didn't know how much longer he could, his muzzle desperately itched and twitched but no matter how many times he rubbed and scratched it but it just wouldn't go away. Thundersnow's sinuses had finally got the better of him, he can no longer control it let alone Hold It Back. Thundersnow: *breath hedged very loudly* a-a-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-ACHOO! The damage has been done but not on purpose, every bit of ice and snow from the highest peak of plants and mountains Begins to Fall. Gaia, Treesa, Rosa, Cosmo and Fog Opal knew they all had to act fast, Thundersnow as fast as he could quickly tap into his abilities despite not feeling well and also embarrassed knowing full well that the development Heavens themselves heard him sneeze. Gaia Meadowrose: “QUICK EVERYONE!" Gaia called out among the deafening noise. “tap in and activate your powers and hurry!" With that said everyone followed Gaia's lead, tapping into their powers as she led the way for their protection and to save Thundersnow. Meanwhile as Thundersnow tried his very best to play his part, to help and save everyone that was caught in the crossfire even though it was his own fault. He did his very best to help and fix his mistakes as he followed Gaia's lead as well, all of them keeping an eye on one another and also making sure that they dodged whatever icicle fell by and even surf to some extent on the snow. It was not easy surfing the waves of the snow and even the ice cold water itself, it doesn't help that they all nearly got impaled by Falling icicles while at the same time balancing the supplies that they stocked up on. Finally after 30 minutes of Surfing dodging and skipping around the Fallen icicles snow and debris, they were finally safe and free from the craziness that transpired. Thankfully their supplies was still intact and most importantly they were intact, Gaia turned her attention to Thundersnow and before she could even say anything he unintentionally Cut Her Off. Thundersnow: ACHOO! *blushed after realizing what he just did* “GAIA! I-" Gaia Meadowrose: *just giggled* “Bless you, Thundersnow." She said as she gently wiped his muzzle with one of her handkerchiefs. Thundersnow: *blushed as he began to smile and allowed her to wipe his muzzle as he was enjoying it* “Thank you, Gaia." He said in somewhat of a low deep warm voice. Now with that part of the adventure said and done for now, Gaia and the rest of the group head back up to the developing Heavens along with the rest of the supplies that they were able to not lose and surprisingly hung onto, they also knew that they had a lot of explaining to do to Horseshoer and Hestia. Who undoubtedly is very worried and possibly even pissed at the worst because they did not say where they were going verbally, Gaia didn't honestly care if she got in trouble as long as the others didn't, she did ask for their help after all and not to mention she didn't wish to disturb her sister or Horseshoer because she saw and felt how mentally and emotionally unwell they were they might as well not be bothered at that moment. The Developing Heavens Horseshoer and Hestia were indeed waiting for them all to come back at the entrance and of course, they were highly worried and a little bit pissed at them that they didn't say where they were going and what they were doing, they may have gotten the notes that thundersnow left them but they were still very upset that they were not told verbally. At this current moment though What mattered to them is that they felt their auras drawing very close to them so they didn't have to go out as they thought they needed to, and as long as they'll be okay they will try their best to let it slide for now. But at this moment Gaia and the others had some explaining to do, so of course when they saw them finally coming they happily welcomed them back but however they did Express a little bit of concern and upset slightly. Hestia: *death grip hugging her sister and voice somewhat shaken out of worried and angered a bit* “Where have you and the others been little sister?! we've been worried sick ever since we got Thundersnow's note!" Gaia Meadowrose: *hugging her dear beloved big sister back* “I'm so sorry we have worried you big sister, but considering the state that you and Horseshoer were in we just didn't want to disturb you at the time." Thundersnow: *blowing his muzzle unintentionally noisily* “Even I didn't wish to disturb you two while you guys were mentally and emotionally recovering from the heartache." Hnnnnpp! “Uhhh!" Horseshoer: *now turning his attention to his best friend and Captain* “Sounds like you caught the flu while you were down there trying to get the others back here." Thundersnow: *stubbornly* “I did not catch the flu nor do I have it." Horseshoer: “You're right, maybe it's just a cold." Thundersnow: “I don't have a cold either." *very stubborn and grumpy* Horseshoer: “I'll let Hestia be the judge of that." *very Stern and assertively* Hestia: *placing her hoof on Thundersnow's forehead* “The good news is it's not the flu-" Thundersnow: “HA!" *COUGH! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, HACK!* Hestia: “But the bad news is you do have a cold, I would have told you that if you would allow me to finish what I was going to say." Horseshoer: *turning his attention back to Thundersnow* “Do you have anything else to add Captain hot shot? or should I say, Captain Cold shot?" Thundersnow: “Haha very funny." Gaia Meadowrose: “Since we got the supplies we could always make a special get well soup, not to mention we do have the medical supplies will need to help take care of him with." Hestia: “Good thinking Gaia, I advise you to get into bed immediately thundersnow. and while you're resting soup will be prepared immediately." Thundersnow: “Does this mean wear off the hook?" *realized a little too late what he just said* Horseshoer: “Just because we're letting you get into bed before you get worse doesn't mean you guys are scot-free yet, in order for our conversation about this Reckless act can continue every one of you needs to be in good health." Treesaforest: “You and your big mouth Captain." *was not happy with him that he reminds them that they're all going to have a Stern talking to later* Thundersnow: “OH COME ON! It just slipped out unintentionally, you can't fault me for that!" Treesaforest: “Can, will and do." Thundersnow: *goes to try to protest but what comes out was an interruption from his own muzzle* ACHOO! *blushing after realizing he sneezed in front of almost everyone then begins to hide behind his wings grumbling in embarrassment* Gaia Meadowrose: “I'll get Thundersnow to his quarters, afterwards I'll come back and help put our supplies away then make some soup for him." Hestia: “Alright Gaia, don't forget to leave him some tissues." Gaia Meadowrose: “Don't worry I won't." with that said, Gaia took Thundersnow to his room and make sure he had everything he needed at the moment before heading back out to help put their new fully filled-up supplies away and then got working on the special soup for Thundersnow and everyone else who will probably want some to make sure that whatever cold germ is now going around they don't catch it. Hestia and Gaia made a giant cauldron pot of their special childhood get-well soup, everyone that was in the developing Heavens took one whiff of the air and couldn't help but already lined up for the upcoming homemade soup, Horseshoer couldn't help but have his mouth so watery when he smelt the are of how delicious that soup was. Gaia Meadowrose: “Looks like everyone can't wait to taste our special soup sister." Hestia: “Yes, I can see that." *begin to giggle a bit* Hestia and Gaia continue to cook the special homemade veggie noodle get-well soup, as the soup continues to cook Gaia slices the thing of bananas in small circulars, Hestia cooked some rice along with making homemade applesauce and Gaia made a crap ton of toast plus the different types of homemade jellies and jams to put on that said toast. Finally The Carpenters made different types of tea and juices to go along with the meal that they'll be serving, but then they both realize they forgot one of the most important things, a special dessert that will go along with the meal very nicely. Gaia Meadowrose: “Hestia, we forgot about the desert." Hestia: “I know Gaia but we can't make the dessert while cooking the other meals at the same time at this current moment, besides we don't know what dessert we're going to be serving so we need to think about that at least." Gaia Meadowrose: “You are right big sister, we didn't discuss what dessert we should serve with our meal, I hope we think of something before it's time to serve the food because I want to bring in that said dessert to Thundersnow." Hestia: “Don't worry little sister, Shirley will think of something very soon." Hestia and Gaia continue to cook and Ponder on what type of dessert will go with the food that they will be serving, as they were deep in thought that is when the perfect dessert came to mind...Jell-O Pudding! not only it won't weigh heavy on you but it can be pretty healthy as well well at the same time sweet like candy, and they knew exactly what kind of Jello pudding it should be. A “Fruity Treats Delight Jell-O Pudding" made with the sweetest freshest fruit ever grown on top of adding a little bit of sweets here and there, of course not too many sweets cuz it still needs to be healthy to make your immune system very strong antique cure what every cold or flu bug you may have. Once Hestia and Gaia were officially done with the meal they begin working on the desert, it took a little extra longer plus everyone was starting to get a little Rowdy for waiting for so long, but finally it was done. Hestia: *place the sliced bananas, a small bowl of rice, a small bowl of applesauce and a plate of toast with blueberry jelly onto the tray with the desert and soup, plus with freshly squeezed red rose orange tea* “Take this to thundersnow and make sure you grab an extra box of tissues plus another thing of cough drops, just knowing enough about him I know for a fact that his cold has worsened by now so you best go prepared." Gaia Meadowrose: “Already on it Hestia." *taking the train with the food and drink on it and heading off to Thunder's quarters* Gaia Meadowrose took the meal plus the extra Med supplies to Thundersnow as her sister Hestia took care of serving the meal to everyone else, Gaia knew that Thundersnow was going to need more than just extra tissues and cough drops. Thundersnow was going to need some extra heating blankets plus some homemade remedy cold medicines, thankfully there were extra heating blankets to spare plus the ingredients to make a quick cold medicine. setting the tray down and making sure it was covered to keep specific foods and drinks warm like the soup, Gaia quickly went to the section that had the first aid medical supplies and gathered the following ingredients...“Pine Oil, Peppermint, Rosemary, Herbs and Honey." Gaia boiled it a bit before letting it cool off just enough to put in a homemade bottle that she had crafted, she was very happy that she was able to pick up on how to make different types of home remedies and medicines for those who are not well, what the medicine now made she began her journey back on to thundersnow's quarters. Thundersnow: *laying in the bed feeling miserable from the cold but also stubbornly trying to deny that he is sick* A-A-A-ACHOO! *KNOCK! KNOCK!* Thundersnow: *stuffed up and with a raspy voice* “Come in." Gaia Meadowrose: *walked in with his food and Medicine* “Hey Thundersnow, how are you feeling?" [“Has if I already didn't know and should really need to ask."] she said to herself already knowing it was unnecessary to ask but still asked out of both habit and kindness. Thundersnow: *groaning slightly before trying to give someone of a decent smile* “I could say that I don't need to be in bed and I'm feeling just fine, but it won't matter what I say because my own body would deceive me." Gaia Meadowrose: *setting the tray down close enough for him to reach, then proceeds to cover him up with the extra warm blankets that she got* “I'm Sorry you got sick trying to find us Thunder." Thundersnow: *begin to smile warmly as he reached his hoof up and gently held the side of her face* “I do it again if I needed to and keep doing it for all of eternity, especially if it means keeping everyone in my inner circle safe and out of Harm's Way." Gaia Meadowrose: *smiling back at him as she nuzzles into his hoof and places a cold compress on his forehead* “And I'd be happy to be your personal nurse for as long as you may have me." Thundersnow: “That depends on how long you wish to stay." *giving a Sly flirty smile* Gaia Meadowrose: *begin to blush as she also began to giggle* “Well aren't you just a naughty patient." she responded back playfully and slightly flirty. Thundersnow: “Not naughty, flirty, there's a difference." he retorted back at her playfully. Thundersnow: “In all seriousness Gaia, I'm glad you really are here. I know it hasn't been too long since you and your group got here but I don't think I can imagine my life without you." Gaia Meadowrose: “I feel the same way Thunder, I wish for us to try dating for a while, and if all goes well perhaps married." Thundersnow smiled and went to tell her that he agreed and was on the same page, unfortunately those words did not make it out of his lips. instead it was a snot cover response, not a clear verbal response. Thundersnow: AAACHOO! “Uhhh!" Gaia Meadowrose: *giggle a bit as she grabbed the tissue and wiped his muzzle* “Bless you." Thundersnow: *smiled up at her as he allowed her to wipe his muzzle* “Thank you."
