"Get hurt less often," Leetah said, with a wry grin .
"Consider it an order," Cutter added, chuckling.

Nightfall chuckled. "I'll do my best my chief. Leetah."
Redlance nodded, grinning a bit himself. Nightfall was better.

"Now what in Timmian's name happened?" Cutter demanded. He moved to sit beside his lifemate. "And I better not hear the words 'fattest buck in all the words', Redlance.

Redlance winced and glanced over at Leetah.
"We are always greatful to the day Cutter met you," Nightfall told her quietly. "For a great many reasons." She took a deep breath then began telling Cutter about their odd adventure with the race that called itself Kirins. How she didn't thin k they were other elves, but if they were, the winged ones were probably high ones. "There were a lot of different kinds of, they call themselves, and us I suppose, Ponies, there. Some had wings, and not all the wings like Caelestra's. Almost all of them were larger then us though, like Caelestra. About the proportions we were to humans. But none of them acted remotely like humans, and I think most of them didn't even notice us."
"Our powers worked oddly," Redlance added in. something about that nagging at him.

"Oddly how?" Cutter asked alert. Powers not working well. in a strange new land...

"Sometimes they failed to work at all, sometimes just not as well as I had hoped. We barely survived....it...." he trailed off, paling.
"Redlance?" Nightfall asked worriedly.

"When was the last time that we heard of magic working poorly in a strange new world?" Cutter asked grimly.

Nightfall looked confused, then paled as her eyes widened. "Highones..." she whispered as she got it.
"Literally," Redlance said softly.

"Madcoil" Cutter agreed, still grim. "Born of the highones magic gone awry when they first came to the world of two moons and could not handle it."

"Maybe, maybe not. It took from the high ones coming until my sire's time for it to be born. the magic rotted first. We may not yet live when the time comes, or our cubs." Cutter said, his face dark.

"Then what do we do, Cutter?" Nightfall asked. Cutter was her best friend, and her chief. If anyone would have answers, he would.
Redlance leaned against his mate, nuzzling her. Madcoil. The thought of it returning filled him with dread. But as he was feeling that terror, a pony of fire and feathers came to his m ind and he was colder still.

Nightfall nodded then looked to Redlance. "Lifemate?" she asked, worriedly.

"Redlance?" Cutter asked worriedly.
Leetah made herself sit up more. She was exhausted, but even if it killed her, she would help him if he were hurt or ill.
