Sun's heart stopped beating as something hit the other side of the log she was hiding behind. She was curious to see what it was, but she didn't want it to fly over the log and hit her, so she pushed her stomach against the floor, and lowered her head. Sun waited for the thing to fly over, and just as she was about to look it flew over. It landed on some rocks behind her, and that's when she realized that it was Tear. Sun whinnied, and jumped over towards Tear, BIG mistake, as she jumped wind wooshed under her wings and she flew into the air, Sun was panicking and if she folded her wings, she would fall, but if she kept them open, there was no telling where she would end up. So she tried to manouver herself over the river which eventually she did, but by then she was very high, and had moved quite a ways from where she was in the first place. She closed her eyes tightly and folded her wings, she plumeted through the sky, Sun felt like she was falling forever. Finally she broke through the river's surface, it hurt, but it was better than the floor. She swam to the shore as quick as possible, she was lucky it wasn't a steep slope out of the water, and Sun quickly scrambled out of the water, and up onto land. She closed her eyes and crawled to keep herself out of the air and on the floor. When she opened her eyes, Sun found herself surrounded by trees. Under the trees the wind wasn't as strong, and the rain wasn't downpouring on her, it was dripping onto her. Sun sat down to rest when she remembered why she had moved out of her hiding spot. Tear was still stuck in the storm! Sun forced her tired body to move into a quick gallop up the river on a search for Tear. Once she found Tear she would start a search for Bravo, but it seemed that Bravo had been under cover whereas Tear had not. She was only galloping for a couple minutes when she reached the edge of the forest. She couldn't see very far beyond the trees because of the rain, but she plunged into the downpouring rain without another thought, and started searching. As she searched Sun felt a pattern forming, she would crawl until she hit something, then she would go around it until she hit another thing etc. She had been doing such for a while now, and still no Tear.

Tear blinked and shifted. Her sore legs were aching and she was shuivering from the cold. Tear blinked and gasped. Tear's body ached all over and she felt like she wouldn't be able to move. But gathering up her strength she got her legs beneath her and stood up. "ACK!" Tear stumbled over everything. The wind was blowing her over but she moved her hooves frantically trying to stay upright. Tear tried steering herself. It didn't work very well. Her thin legs strained to keep her balanced. Tear threw her body weight at the wind and discovered that it held her up. Tear blinked, squeezing water and shock out of her eyes. "Wow." She wondered as she scuttled away leading on the wind. From any other pony's point of view she would have been walking at a 45 degree angle. But to her this was salvation. Tear tripped over scattered debrie and things. After a while Tear started to get tired, her hooves scraping the ground because she was pushing into the rock covered ground to go forward but the wind shoved her sideways. Tear tried to bear it longer, until she tripped sideways over a big branch and went spraling. "AHHHHHH!!" Tear tumbled head over heels again, with a few side rolls tossed in as well. But this was not a hill, the wind was pushing her along. She hit a large boulder face on. The breath was squashed from her lungs as her legs went to either side of the boulder and her underside reseived the crushing blow. Tear couldn't breath for a strenguesh minute. Tear's mouth was open and she tried to breath in but her lungs wouldn't inflate. She scrambled, feeling weak from lack of oxygen and exhaustion. Nonetheless Tear struggled, she kicked at the blouder until she managed to slip a hind hoove beneath her body. With the last of her energy Tear kicked. She was volted away from the boulder and into the wind. The wind bodily shoved her around. Tear didn't seem to notice, she was too busy breathing and gasping for life-giving gas. This was short lasted. She quickly relized she was being treated like a rag doll and dug her hooves into the ground. She slowed, it teared the flesh and hair from her legs but she slowed.Tear bit her lip and tried to feel her numb and bleeding legs. Che could hardly feel the movement in her legs. All she felt was the rain digging into her back and the wind trying to blow her off the edge of the world. Tear also felt her wariness catching up with her. With a gasp she collasped to the ground.

Sun had been doing this pattern for a long time when she finally hit a new boundary, not a rock, not a tree, it was squishy. She wished it was Tear and opened her eyes, it was! Tear was knocked out, but it was still Tear. Sun placed her body over her protectively, planting her feet carefully so she would not blow away. Sun tried to come up with a plan quickly, and she could only come up with a few, the first she could think of was to drag Tear all the way back to the forest, and the second was to wait out the storm. The first seemed a little too difficult, so Sun crossed that off her list of plans, that only left one thing to do. Sun gently placed her body next to Tear so that her body was blocking the wind.

“HELLO?” Bravo shouted to Tear and Sun across from the forest. He trotted, breath taken from how strong the wind was, out of the trees. “I thought I heard screaming and wanted to check on you rto see if you were alrigh—” Bravo bolted down the hill, the wind speeding him up twice as fast. He screeched to a halt, bearly missing Tear and Sun. “holey crud, whats happened to you guys?” Bravo screamed, “Quickly, Sun. Help me drape Tear over my shoulders, you can hop on too if you like.”

The worst of the storm had passed and now it was just drizzling with slight winds. Sun smiled, happy to see her other friend was alright. She nodded, and pushed Tear onto her feet, and up onto Bravo's back. "I think i'll just walk." Sun walked beside Bravo making sure that Tear didn't slide off.

“Thanks.” Bravo said to Sun when she helped balance tear on his back. “Lucky the storm is dying down. Otherwise we’d all be dead by now…” Bravo ended his sentence there, worrying about if any of them had died.
It was a slow and heavy walk up to the sheltered forest. With Tear on his back and the wind aching his legs it was a miracle to finally arrive under shelter and warmth.

This was the first time that Sun was happy that a storm was ending. "How did you avoid getting hurt anyways?" she asked as the entered forest, under shelter.

Tear was waking. She was still groggy and hurt like crazy but she heard the question. "She means that you aren't all busted like we are." Tear coughed and tried to shift. Her legs were cut in a thousand places and her fur was matted with dried blood. She groaned and closed her eyes, shifting slightly in the forest loam.

“You are bathing in blood, don’t talk, It’ll make it feel worse.” Bravo said, laying down Tear on some soft, dead leaves and earth.

Sun shivered at Tear who was covered in blood. She looked up at the sky which was still clouded, but was slowly clearing up. The rain was only coming down as a drizzle now. Sun yawned as her tiredness caught up with her, she folded her legs, and lay down next to Tear. She looked up at Bravo, "Where were you during the storm anyway?"

Tear blinked and opened her eyes slightly, she gazed at Sun and Bravo through misted eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but instead coughed. Her body shook with the coughing fit she was having. Tear's wings lifted from her body to give her stomach more room to breath through the coughs. This revealed many missing feathers and raw skin on the underside of her wings.

“We all need sleep for now.” Bravo said to the others, “Let us snooze.”

Tear had stopped coughing and settled to down to do what Bravo said, to sleep. But it was a while before she actually got to sleep. Every movement she made pained her and she couldn't sleep because of the pain jolts.

Sun sighed, and placed her head on the damp floor to sleep. It was only a couple minutes before she was in a deep sleep. She was exhausted after the long day.
