*pineapple lowered her head a little. the memories of the attack was too fresh in her mind to talk about it much. she looked back up at the flutter.*
"we... my family and i, was on a trip. a sea voyage. we were attacked." *she looked away, toward her mother. she didn't want to talk about it, and hoped the flutter would get the hint.*

Claire took Pineapple's glance in the adults' direction entirely the wrong way. The way she saw it, the attackers were standing mere feet away from the two.
"Th-that's terrible," she said, and she meant it - terrible for Pineapple's sake, and for hers. She gave a small shiver, both from the cold and her nerves. The flutter dropped her voice and muttered hurriedly, "We should get out of here."

<evening/ late evening>
One brings up of head and looks to the pony. Eyes stare as one has stood listening, "All in due time, we have two who may not make the track to the villege unless they rest"
The statue like dragcorn comes to life as one sways of head to look at the flutter who speaks to the child. "I have yet seen one of your kin in many moons".

*pineapple jumped a little, nerves on edge still from the attack, but when she saw it was only arulin, she settled back down.*
"he's right. my mother was hurt, and she does need to rest. they helped us."

"My love....as good hearted as she is can't fly very well....and lands...well...we won't go there", smirks as one reaches over to Pineapple and nuzzles her gently
"Your mother will be fine.....but....something about this Island bothers me...Why is it that beyond the dark sea east of dream vellay such a wonderful place is here?"

((i hope i am incorportating the storyline right, lol, if not, i can always change it )) *pineapple was shaken to her knees as the whole island seemed to heave under her. sherbert startled awake and yelled for her daughter. she fumbled to her feet, the task was difficult due to the earthquake. she made her way to her daughter, and at the last moment, saw the little flutter pony there. she then thought to glance around at the dragon-ponies. hoping they were okay, especially the pregnant female, she turned to the flutter.* "fly, little flutter. perhaps the air is safer from the earthquakes!" *she didn't notice the storm brewing out at sea, she was more concerned about the safety of her daughter and companions. she looked down at pineapple, who was frightened. she reached down and muzzled pineapple.* "it'll be ok, sweetie, your father will make sure we're safe." *pineapple glared at her mother.* "that's not likely, mother, he was killed. you should remember that." *sherbert thought for a moment.... it seems that there should be something like that she should remember, but she didn't feel like acknowledging it at the moment.* "in any case, pineapple, we must get to safety somehow." *she looked to the two dragons on the beach for advice, then back to the flutter to make sure she took to the air.*

[[d'yall mind some more company?]]
It had been another long day for Soul Sorrow. The mare had arrived recently but had so far not met other ponies. She had come alone, as usual, and disappeared into the wilder parts of the land alone, as usual. She had passed by the town, the docks and the castle. Simply watching.
She paused at the beach when she saw a group of creatures in the distance. She assumed they were ponies, but there was no telling for sure. At least most of them looked like ponies to her.
Sorrow was not at first going to join them. She didn't feel like company at the moment, and so she stepped carefully on the rocks, hardly more than a silhouette in the distance.
Then the first tremor shook the earth. Her hooves scraped the rocks as she was thrown off balance, and she sought for better grasp, but her hooves would not hold.
Quickly, she resorted to her unicorn magic and winked out. She winked back in on the sandy beach, only a little ways off from the little gathering. The earth had not stopped shaking but she managed to keep her balance in the soft sand. When the tremor was gone she stood, balanced on all her four legs, and looked at the other six creatures. At least four of them seemed like perfectly normal ponies, and they all seemed very alarmed. She remained collected but her eyes did move up from the little group to the skies overhead. Darkness was gathering. She lifted her head and her black eyes reflected a thousand shades of grey as she examined the clouds.

Night Secrets looked up at the sky, it was darkening. Soon she may be able to use her night powers. Out of the corner of her eye she saw another pony, a unicorn like herself.
[[sorry im not feeling well so its not a long post.]]

Finally waking from her long needed rest, the flight over the ocean not having given her much time to rest, she feels the quaking first, eyes growing wide and darting around. "An attack? A storm? An earthquake? What where who how....oh." She looks around at all the different beings now, blushing and hiding her head behind Arulin's leg. "And who are all theses...PONIES?!" She starts to stand, giving a groan as she shivers and stomps slightly, restless but also upset. The island had quakes? This wouldn't be a place to lay until the quakes stopped...if they did...

The sands started caving as the trench started to fill. Arulin began to blast the sand with a watery breath in hopes of stopping the flow from burying them both. His tail pushing Audra up from the hole. One who is so nerves during calm times yet calm and well thinking in times of choas, as the entire island seems to be breaking up. His horn glows bright with firy soul surrounding his entire being, the sign of the unicorn. After trying to slow the sand he would push Audra up the hill.
"Love jump, slip through the worlds, just leave this hole!!", screamed as he forced his wieghed behind her , getting trapped in the sands as they were covered up to their withers (shoulders) in sand.

Trying to jump through the sand, she hits a weak spot and slips, falling hard to the shifting ground before struggling to get up once more and racing over the shifting sands, wings spread slightly until she reaches solid ground and only then does she stop, turning around and peeking out from between the leaves to watch the group.

[[well, I'll react with Sorrow to what's going on with Arulin... but if you happen to have the time to post before I get this down, Arulin, I'll just delete. XD]]
It took only a few moments from the dark unicorn to realise that these strange creatures she saw with the ponies were in trouble. The female of them seemed to manage to escape well from the caving sand, but the male was not doing so well. Soul Sorrow was not one to simply watch other creatures perish before her very eyes, and so she used her unicorn magic again, knowing it was the quickest way to travel. She reappeared right next to the trench and turned in a swift motion, throwing her tail down the trench to the struggling dracorn.
"Take hold!" she cried to him. "I'll help you up!"

Finding himself in the sand, legs barely able to move as the sands bury him up to the neck. The glow surrounds his form as one begins to jump and kick in the sands , bucking to break free. Nature unlawful the creature could almost break the binding of sand that held him. So weaken from using the breath of the seas. The trench completely filled as the head of the dragcorn looked to the ponies and Audra with a cry of distress. The energy that was felt in the land was terrorifying, a darkness with no end , no remorse, no sign of reason was felted in the sands....In the very land itself. It was coming evadent why the island was saperated by the dark storms ever persent to the west. One looks up as a rolling thunder is heard....Seeing a stream of huimdity coming from the island itself....This was no paradise, it was soon trully known to be a cage for something so vile that someone would barrier half the world from it....
-------------------- (repond to Crescent, don't delete) Suddenly a pony unicorn appeared near him. Hearing her words he grabbed her tail pulling and kicks the sand. Pushing with the tail as he made the effort to free himself with this noble unicorn's help. He comes up out of the sands slowly but surily. Breaking the sand cage that held him.
He looks to the ponies with a look, not seen in his eyes foer eons, fear.

Stands frozen on the side, watching the sand starting to cover her love before she starts bouncing slightly on her hooves, trying to decide to go after him or something, plopping down and giving a soft cry as she buries her face in the ground, unable to watch. She flicks an ear slightly and lifts her head as she hears another voice from the beach, lifting her head and looking out slightly.
