Survival in the Clouds: Chapter seven and eight

Instructions

I'm going to bring my books to Scratch, chapter by chapter! :D Chapter Seven [Very, Very, Super, Unimaginably, I-can’t-believe-ably short] “You see,” explained Imagine, “there’s this evil unicorn who tries to take over horses’ bodies. His name is Nightmare, given to him by the horses who had been captured and un-captured. We have discovered the antidote, and…” “Wait a minute,” interrupted Prophecy. “Vision, do your thing real quick.” Vision closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he murmured “Tungularia.” Imagine gave a questioning glance. “Tungularia is a sensitive mare who can beat Nightmare,” said Echo. Imagine lifted a wing. “I’ll go look for her!” she exclaimed before zipping downward. Chapter Eight [Last One!] Lila bucked Stone Shadow off of Free before he could hurt him more than he already had. Luckily, Free was only unconscious, and not really hurt. Suddenly, with furious wing flaps, a silver furball shot forward and attacked the other horses. “Imagine!” exclaimed Lila happily. Stone Statue, Light Flame, and Deadly Acid stood no chance against Imagine. Imagine, while holding back the horses, called back over here shoulder. “Lila, get yourself and Free to safety while you still can! I’ll hold these guys off.” Lila nodded before grabbing Free and struggling upward. [[Later]] “So, where’s Tungularia?” asked Free. Lila had brought him to the Aduu Temple and he was conscious now. Prophecy, Vision, and Echo had told them all about Tungularia. Hope had gathered information that Tungularia was a unicorn, living among the animals. “Tungularia lives in a horseplace—you know, cloudplaces only made out of sticks—down on land. I’ll lead you to her,” offered Prophecy. Lila opened her mouth to answer, but she was interrupted by a crashing sound outside. Imagine burst into the Aduu Temple, collapsed on the ground and started whining and crying. “What’s wrong?” asked Arch in her little squeak. Imagine showed a tiny cut on her flank. “I’ve lived my worst nightmare!” she exclaimed before crying again. “I got a cut and it hurt!” Free rolled his eyes and Lila couldn’t hold back a giggle. “It’s just a cut,” she snickered. “It’ll heal; besides, how is it bad? I honestly think you need to toughen up.” Echo nudged Lila. “Lila, she just got her first cut. She has to be upset; her power is not to get hurt. This probably means her power is draining.” Lila thought a minute. Nightmare could’ve sucked her power, but how and why? “Look!” exclaimed Free, interrupting her thoughts. Lila turned to see the tiny cut gone. “See? It healed itself.” There was a tiny, light green glow around it. “I heard the commotion from outside and I thought I’d help,” said a soft, gentle voice outside. Lila and Free spun around to see a black unicorn with light green eyes, her tail swishing gently in a friendly way. “Tungularia!” exclaimed Echo. Tungularia herself was here! Prophecy quickly introduced them. “I’m Prophecy, this is Vision, that crazy-ish one over there is Imagine, and she’s Echo,” she said, pointing with her hoof to them. Arch squeaked with shyness and leaped behind Free. “I’m Free and this is Arch and Lila,” he explained. “Arch, come on out and meet Tungularia.” Arch poked her head out and squeaked a greeting before hiding behind Free again. Tungularia smiled, her light green eyes shining. “I see she’s shy. As you know, I’m Tungularia. So, what happened, Imagine?” she asked. Imagine took panting gasps in her pauses of crying to talk. “I-I was fighting to save Lila, and I got a cut!” Lila rolled her eyes as Vision explained their powers to Tungularia. Tungularia sighed in sympathy before coming and examining Imagine’s flanks. Lila spotted a glow around Imagine’s leg that said she was casting a spell. “That’s why! Imagine, you’re powers are—and were—weaker in your flanks.” Lila stopped paying attention to what the other horses were saying and got distracted in her own thoughts. Light Flame’s herd was bad and definitely didn’t like the so-called “trespassers” that fell out of the clouds. Lila thought that if she could get Newfu to write to be careful down on the ground in the newspapers, everybody would be more cautious down on the ground. Forest Fire and HIS herd, however, were kind and also went up against Light Flame’s herd. Lila would go look for Forest Fire and might even get the two herds—Forest Fire Herd and Cloud Herd—to team up against Light Flame and his followers. But she’d do that tomorrow; she’d go look for Forest Fire tomorrow and not today.
