Secrets looked alarmed as the sand started to cave in on the two, but she couldnt help as her powers were not right.
'We should go tell the Queen about this. It's clear that somethings happening, the Queen is powerful, maybe she can help.' Secrets finally spoke out, for the first time in her life, she was afraid.

*reacting to the chaos out of pure instinct, sherbert nipped at pineapple's side, only hoping the flutter would be able to fly away. they didn't survive the attack on their ship just to come to this. sherbert let out a frustrated yell as pineapple slipped and slid across the sand, away from the fissure that had opened up behind them. sherbert was right behind her as they ran up the beach inland. who knows if or when a tsunami would hit, but she wasn't going to take any chances. the two made it further inland before stopping and looking back to the rest of the group. it had grown considerably larger in just a few minutes. sherbert held her breath as the two dragicorns seemd to be in peril, then let it out again when they safely made it out. sherbert stood where she was for the moment, not wanting to get seperated from the group. pineapple licked at her flank where sherbert had nipped her, but understood it was the fastest way to have gotten her running. pineapple looked out toward the ocean. they should never have even tried to take any trip. she shook her mane out, then looked to her mom. sherbert had fear in her eyes, but that was not uncommon. sherbert had depended on her husband for a lot of things, but she was going to have to learn how to make it on her own. for both her and pineapple's sake.*

Secrets looked back at the two who had fled, she didn't blame them. They had just suffered an attack and now this. Stepping back from the hole, Night Secrets looked at the sand. The quake had been small, but if it was powerful enough to do this, who knows what could happen. The sand had stopped moving fast now, and if moving, it was still trickling slowly down.
'I'm going to see the Queen about this. Who's coming?' She sent this message to everyone on the beach's minds. She wasnt sure if they'd hear it if she said it out loud.

"there's a queen here?"
*sherbert sighed in relief. where there's a queen, there is leadership. however, she had no way of knwoing where the queen would be. she nodded her head, hoping the pony on the beach understood she was willing to speak to the queen herself. she couldn't speak with her mind, but she hoped the message got through to the pony on the beach. pineapple stood shivering in fear, leaning against her mother. *

Night Secrets turned and headed towards the two, 'Yes, there is. I'm sure she and her family would help, they are quite powerful.'
She looked back to the others, seeing if they were ok.

After shaing the shock of what was felt off , turnign to notice one whom he was studying before Audra's fated crash. (no this won't be forgotten anytime soon )
"It is you....Well whatever it is...Its strong enough to cuase great pain in nature...."
"I will go"
Stands as one shakes off the sand on his scales and pelt

*sherbert was glad that the first one to befriend her would go to the castle also. she waited where she was, hoping the tremors were over for the time being.. at least until they got to the castle. pineapple stood up, standing on her own rather than leaning on her mother. they were going to make it through this. they had to.*

((*whistles* That's a lot of stuff. I'll try to catch up.))
Claire gave a startled jump when Arulin spoke to her - despite trying to keep an eye on him, she was still taken by surprise. She was about to argue with him that he could not force Pineapple to stay there when she realized that the two seemed close themselves. At least, on friendly terms.
"Oh...I'm so confused...", she confessed with a frown, but the words barely had time to leave her mouth before she found herself pitched ungracefully onto her side.
"fly, little flutter. perhaps the air is safer from the earthquakes!"
She was more than willing to take this particular advice, and was on her wings in seconds. The sight of it all still made her dizzy as she watched the frantic scene playing out below her. The flutter then noticed that her side was stinging where she had fallen, and took a second to examine it as best she could. There were some minor scrapes on her legs and flank, deep enough that she could see some blood, but not bleeding seriously. On the other hand, she was not accustomed to any serious injury, so she wrinkled her nose at the sight. She hoped it wasn't too much of a 'Rosedust thought' that she wanted to take a bath as soon as possible - after all, it could be infected.
The flutter landed again next to the majority of the group. She didn't think going to see the queen was the best course of action, but since she didn't have any better ideas decided to keep quiet. Personally, the last thing on earth Claire wanted to do was go with them to the castle. Hadn't she just spent the last hour or so avoiding royals?
"What about the ponies that aren't going?", she asked, hoping she wouldn't be the only one included in that division. "Is there anything we should be doing to keep ourselves safe until this is sorted out?"

*pineapple looked at the flutter thoughtfully, and winced at her wound.* i think you need to see someone to heal that, myself. are you going to be ok?
*sherbert was relieved that the flutter made it away. she had lost track of her in the chaos of the tremors, and wasn't sure she had made it away fom the ground. she quite agreed with her daughter's suggestion of a healer and spoke up.* "pineapple is right. we need to get you looked at before we go talk to anyone."

"Well at least it isn't a virus....", refering to the lands on the other side. Though this place may seem hostile, the inhabitence are so kind and sweet. Much like those fond memories of the ponies of his younglinghood. The surge buuilding in his heart to protect these ponies builds with every moment of the kindness even from the darker sorts.
This is where his true power builds from.
He gose to Pineapple and sherbert giving each a nuzzle then approuches where Audra went off to and lets out a bell like bellow or roar calling to her.
"It is time we left the beach...Let us be who and what we are....These ponies are not as the ones on the mainland...These are as I remember them...So let's help them...If we can", said in the native tongue of dragons and in unicorn languge. This is the fate of them to live here, to protect this island

Stumbling down the path, she comes upon the group and flops down on her side, breath coming out in huffs as she lays there, listening for a moment, ear flicking and she gives out a groan of sorts. "I don't think I can move much farther, Arulin...not in this condition." She closes her eyes, the panic having been enough for her and she twitched slightly, laying there and shivering softly.

"Audra....."
Looks down and lays near her as one comforts her so
"I can't leave you here.....I cannot go while you are as you are"
Looking to the others, eyes looking for understanding of this....

"I think so..." She raised a wing thoughtfully to look at the scrape again, then remembered her manners. "Oh, did you two get hurt? It would've been so scary to be on the ground through all of that."
"pineapple is right. we need to get you looked at before we go talk to anyone."
Claire hesitated. "I think it'll heal on its own, as long as there isn't any sand in it." She grimaced briefly at the thought. "Anyway, I'd hate to hold you up on your way to the queen - and besides, I don't know where the healers are. I'm sort of just passing through with my..." For the second time that day she wasn't eager to go into her explanation of her relationship with the flutter royals, and finished, "family."
The flutter felt just as guilty as she had earlier when lying to the nice mare at the castle gates, and hoped they wouldn't ask her to elaborate. She didn't want word to spread around the island that there were two flutter princesses out walking around.

[[wow I missed a lot while sleeping... XD]]
Soul Sorrow stepped away from the trench once she had helped the dracorn up. She shook her mane a little and tossed her tail, and then looked at the others in silence as they conversed. She wasn't particularly offended that she wasn't thanked - she was used to it. Quietly she allowed herself to remain at the side. Her eyes went over to the approaching storm in the skies. She could feel the shadows lengthen and the darkness spread around them - yes, it was her time soon. Time of her powers to grow.
She listened to all the ponies, her ears twitching side to side. She saw the dracorn female seemed to be feeling unwell, and the flutter was also hurt. When there seemed to be confusion over what was to be done next, she decided to step in a little.
"Perhaps only one of us should go to the Queen," she suggested with her soft voice that was like velvet. "The rest should help those who are ill."
She preferred to stand to the side, a little amused that no one had asked her to identify herself yet.

*Good idea....Since Audra is wounded and holding childern....I would not ask any of you to stay becuase of us....", he looked to Audra nuzzling her gently and then back to the one who helped him escape. After recoverying from the shock of what was felt in the island , standing up and going to the one who helped.
Gently he reaches his muzzle out in a form of greeting.
"You saved me after the sand caved....I owe you a great deal in that.....But what scares me is the wave of negitivity felt while in the sand....such rage...such hate....Something is here and is willing to kill , willing to destory....", lowwering his head down at the terror that is felt in this island......
"I .... am Arulin....Of course the other is Audra that is like me....We are only able to offer friendship in boon for now at this time", looks into the eyes of this dark chilld of ponies
