 Meanwhile, Claude was in epic battle with a low hanging tree branch. He had been for some time now ever since he pushed it aside and it came back and thwapped his rear. claude did not like the branches actions so he retaliated, only to have it swing back at him! Now it was on like Donkey Kong! Rearing up on his hind legs he called, "Back, foul beast!" and he surged forward, hitting the tree branch firmly with his head. An audible thunk obviously signalling that Claude had not hit the branch right. he tumbled forward and almost lost his footing. But with some fast hoof work and totally control over his sinyewy leg Claude went back at the evil tree limb with new ferocity.
"I'll shall teach you to challenge a nobal knight such as myself! Have at you!" And with that and a great flap of his red and orange wings he took to the air - well, he lifted high enough to strike the branch with considerable force, any way. But the recoil proved to strong for him and as he was gloating for a moment about the limbs retreat it swung back at him and sent him hurtling right at an Usdia he never saw.

 Istas had recently arrived on the scene. Her ears twitched to the sound of someone near in the distance buther auburn eyes caught sight of an usdia. Istas Misae had been growing up with two, her moma and papa. Not that right now she knew any different. She hadn't met her birth parents yet. And to her all Usdia because they were light her parents were nice and therefore she could talk to them. With a happy bounce her step she headed toward it.
"Woah~!" she reared up on her high legs and always fell over when something read and orange went fly by and barreled right into the usdia who grumbled and stumbled. Istas lowered herself and looked around trying to figure out what happened. It was then that she realized it was a foal that smacked into the unsuspecting Usdia. Shaking her head some she padded her way toward them and she lowered her head. "Are you two alright?"

Claude sat up and let his vision adjust. He immediatley turned to his brother and helped him out of the brush he'd been flung into. "I'm fine, M'lady," Claude assured as he dusted his brother off. "And I'm sure Sweet is as well. He can take a hit." He smiled as he wasnudged by the smaller stallion. "Yeah, but not when I'm hit with a fatty like you," Sweet grumbled playfully. Claude only nudged him back and flipped his mane. He turned to the mare and bowed. "Thank you for your concern, M'lady. I am Sir Claude, and this is my brother, Sweet." The usdia stepped forward and smiled. He winked at Claude and said, "tell me about it late, okay, bro?" Claude laughed and reared as the stallion trotted off.
Turning back to the mare he sighed. "Sorry, my brother has an issue with lines. He doesn't seem to recognize them." He bowed again. "Thank you again for your concern. May I inquire as to the name of such a pretty lady?" He smiled and flitted his wings a few times to get the feathers back in place. He would have preened, but he didn't want to seem rude. How would he like it if someone he was talking to decided thier appearence was more important then the conversation?

Istas looked over at Sweet pea. He looked familiar, but she had never been introduced to him by Forte; so the idea soon slipped from her mind. With a nod to his statements about being able to take a hit, she was still slightly concerned that wasn't such a thing to brush off... But it wasn't her place to pry. Her ears perked up when Sweet headed out and she looked back over at the brightly colored male.
"I'm Istas~" She cooed a little. "Istas Misae." She smiled some and looked over at the tree and her head tilted some. "What were you doing that caused you to collide with your brother?" She asked... Though then she thought maybe she was prying but ah well. She wanted to know!. "You flew by really fast! It was kind of neat."
She leaned forward a little and sniffed at him, before she circled her way around him. She was glad he seemed nice. A little weird maybe but nice.

"What a satisying name. It's elegently simple. Or simply elegant, if you prefer." He smiled and bowed. "I am privalaged to meet such a lady who concerns herself with the well fare of others. Such a trait is hard to find, now a days." He straightened and grinned.
He faltered at the question and tried to make it sound as unabsured as possible. "Well, I pushed it out of my way and thought Sweet would catch it. He didn't and it hit him. Well, he accused me of being a poor knight for not defending him. I was attacking the branch. It was just us folling around, really." It still sounded absurd.

Istas flicked her tail and twitched her ears. With a small giggle she smiled. It was good that hse has concern for others right? Forte seemed to have taught her that. She looked over at hte tree and then back at him. "That sounds like alot of fun actually." Istas admitted. She hadn't met anyone as colorful personalty wise as Claude before. "So you battle trees often?" She tilted her head at him curious about it this was a normal occurrence for him of not.
The filly looked a bit hopeful at him. She wanted to get into a little trouble, ot just something adventurous. She did alot of the same things in and out all day. Maybe this colt would be the savior to that mundane area of her day. "I would love to go on adventures." She never got to really use her imagination. She would spend a good deal of her time wishing she was in the sky.

Claude puffed his chest out and smirked. The pocket of air in his chest cavity made his voice considerably deeper. "It's the only thing with the gaul to challenge a knight so fierce as myself." He chuckled and released the air in his chest with an audible sigh. "My brother and I do things like that often. Until I can find a real squire he's been filling in. And my mother is the damsel when she's free to play with us. The adventures we go on are lots of fun. We battle dragons, and demons, and even Skinwalkers." He looked to his left at the memory.
Shaking off the slight feeling of nostalgia he turned his attentiont o Istas. "Well, then, shall we go? It's just not right for someone not to have had one adventure!" He held out his wing in an invitation. "It'll be fun!"

Istas gaped at the idea. His family played with him! Oh the fun. It wasn't that Forte and Liberty didn't play with her; it was that they had baskets now, and Liberty had things with his own herd going on. Lowering her head she took grass to eat and thought, trying to picture what it mist have been like for them to play. With a swiveling of her ears she looked up at him again. "Really? You want me to come along?" She started to smile with almost a glow at the invitation.
She hoped upward and nodded "Alright lets go!" She pranced forward to his side and could barely contain herself. It was as if her skin wasn't there all the excitement would seep out. "What kind of adventure will we have?"

"Of course I want you to come along! It's no fun having an adventure all by yourself!" Claude looked around with a sigh. His mother had developed his acceptional imagination, but he still had to think for a while. He nudged Istas to face the forest and smiled. "Alright, now that is the dreadful, Black Forest. It's filled with sinking sand, fire lillies, and vicious creatures. Beyond that is a crumbling castle. it's been long since abandoned, but the villagers have reported some strange occurences as of late.
"Now, they have turned to us. Sir Claude and Lady Istas. Valliant warriors of all thing supernatural. The journey will be trecherous and full of unknown dangers. Are you up to it?" He trotted around her and tilted his head, invisioning the adventure before them.

Istas at this very moment; felt as if time stopped. Oddly enough. Of course I want you to come along! Rang through her head and it was as if her body had been filled with something warm. When her auburn eyes looked over at him as he circled her he gave off this glow in her eyes. Some might call it love, but at such a young age that did';t exist. It was her first feeling of true and real acceptance. She had met others but none of them treated her in a manner that made her feel constantly wanted.
Time started to move again and she wiggled her flanks getting really excited. "I eat danger for breakfast!" She eyed him in a serious manner and snerked a bit. "Bring it on Sir Claude!" She bursted out happily. looking over to the forest. She started to picture the scene.

Claude's wings flittered and he giggled. "Alright! Let's go m'lady!" He flipped his tail at her side and started off towards the woods. "I trust you can fight off the beaties," he said in a formal tone, tilting his head towards her. "It's bound to be treacherous, Istas!"
By now the shadow of the forest had fallen over Claude, chilling his already snow covered back.

Istas looked at the forest. She lived in one, but not the seem feeling as the on that stood in front of them. But with a tap of his tail she freely pushed forward and pranced happily. "Bring em on!" She giggled as she looked around. She tried to imagine a beastie but they were looking far to cute.
"Awwe look at that one. its so cute!" She giggled some and looked over at Claude. "I'm not to sure if I can hurt it." She laughed. "If they all look this cute..." She nudged at the fake creature nd then jumped back. "Whoa. I guess they're cranky..."

CLAUDE
"Watch out for the sand pits, there are many along the trek we must take! They can be hard to sopt, like that one there!" He pointed to a sandy patch brought in from the near by sea. "It will suck you under in an instant. And beware the spekters. They take any shape and lure you to you doom," he couldn't surpress a slight giggle.
CLAUDE
"Is there anything you wish to warn me about, Lady Istas? Any knowlege you are withholding from me about these forests?"
ISTAS
The foal looked around as he talked; she took note of the sand and then blinked a few times to the idea of the spekters. They could be anything! "So trust no one?" She side glanced at Claude. "We should have a pass word so that we know we're eachother then!" She nodded. Her ears flicked as she tried to recall a rumor. "I've heard that the trees watch and listen... So word of our presence might<
ISTAS
Have already be on its way." She flicked her short tail and snuffed a bit.
CLAUDE
"Ah yes, the trees, they can be trisksey. Did you also hear word that they move as well? So be wary of your whereabouts." He looked around him and whispered, "if you ever have any doubts as me of linage. Few know of my decention from Mountain Usdia. And what of you?"
ISTAS
"Thy can move? that doesn't sound good at all~" She shook her head. It was at this point that she started to get a but worried. She leaned over and spoke softly of her two sets of parents; hoping that would be enough a code. "Do you think we should get going? the longer we wait the more time enemies have to prepare; I saw some creatures not to long ago."
CLAUDE
"Yes, enough talk," Claude nodded and turned to face the darkness of the forest. "Be brave, many creatures can smell fear," though he couldn't deny that he was a bit scared too, despite the fact that they only played a game. He tested some ground to make sure it was stable and then tortted forward. "It's a long trek, and long still if we don't have our wits about us!"
ISTAS
Istas nodded some and she and moved forwaed a few paces behind him. She looked around some as she pushsed into the forest. "Long?" She was a bit worried about how they would eat and sleep but it was probably one of those 'we'll cross that bridge when we get there things.' "Do you feel going straight through is the way to go? or should we look for a more avertted route?"
CLAUDE
"The quickest way is a straight line. The creatures in the woods are tricky, but not terribly hard to fight. And if you defeat some of them they share secrets of the woods with you."
ISTAS
"Secrets huh?" Sje pondered what the creatures would have to say about the forest. She followed his lead ducking under branches and going around trees when needed. "So what exactly are we looking for?" She wasn't t sure the objective of this quest as she moved to avoid an obsticle*
CLAUDE
"We were called to chase goulies away from a village on the mountain beyond this forest. I suspect most of the spirits come from this place, however. So I think we should find theyr hidning places and scare them out, and then take care fo those in the village.
ISTAS
"that soudns awefully scary!" Istas pouted at Claude a little. "How many do you think there are?" She wiggled her way after him andlooked around. "We're getting pretty far in so we should be seeing some soon huh?"
CLAUDE
"I would think so..." he muttered. "Scary is what makes it an adventure! It makes it fun!" He smiled and whipped his head to the left. "Did you see that?"
ISTAS
She movd her head to follow his eyes "No..." She blinked looking to catch sight of something moving, her ears twitching for any sounds. "Did you hear that?"
CLAUDE
"No... It's the spekters, trying to get us apart, keep close to me. Don't ever lose sight of one another," he warned.
ISTAS
She nodded some as she brushed herself up against his side and she looked around. "Should we keep moving or try and fight?" She pulled lightly at his mane as she tried to catch sight of the creatures
CLAUDE
"Keep moving. If we don't take notice of thier presence then they may not bother us. Like children they may bore." He glanced at her with a wink, just to remind her that it was just a game, and they were in no real danger.
ISTAS
She smiled at him, as she moved forward, trying her best to ignore the noises that she heard. "Hey look i think i see a small pond or something ahead." Her red eyes caught side of the water.
CLAUDE
"It could be a trap laid by the spekters, are you thirsty, m'lady," he asked turning back to her. "We will check to make sure it's safe, but only for a moment.
ISTAS
She nodded at him some. glad to have him around for this adventure. She certainly had no idea of all these percations. She fell a step or so behind him so that she could follow his lead again.
CLAUDE
claude dripped his hoof into the water and smiled. "It's clear," he confirmed and sat down to keep watch. "Drink as much as you need.
ISTAS
Istas looked around, and then leaned her head down to drink so of the water. It was very nice indeed. She then shook her head and stretched out before looking over at him. "Are you thirsty?"
CLAUDE
Claude had rolled away into the bushes and then ppped out while she took her drink. He grinned overly happy and shook his head. "Shall we continue?"
ISTAS
When he wasn't there she looked about and then eyes him. "Happy are we...?" She was a bit curious of the sudden change.. "Sure..." she would give another few monutes before checking..
CLAUDE
Claude sort of pranced forward, taking a more leftward route then before. "While you drank I saw a goulie go into a save just to the east of here. I thought we ought to check it out!"
ISTAS
She raised a brow and took a few steps. He had told her not to long ago, to leave them be... "So tell me about where you came from." She stretched out and looked around some avoiding the other topic*
CLAUDE
"I come from the mountains, fo course. A long liniage of noble knights," he bragged.
ISTAS
"What was the name of it?" She blinked and turned. It was starting to get a bit late, she wodnered if they' still play through the night or not.
CLAUDE
"My line? Beautiful winds... wow, it's getting late," claude stated, reverting back to real life. "Want to meet me at that lake tomorrow and continue?
