Crash sighed and dropped his head. He heard the wind blow softly so he lifted his head, seeing the faint like of horses running in the clouds. He closed his eyes, letting the wind blow his mane. He sighed. I'm sorry Bell he whispered and trotted back across the water.

Bell ignored him, shaking her head in disbelief. "Thunder, you know about things leaving. Why? Why did they have to go? Why did you steal my son from me? You keep coming back to life. If you wanted to see him you should have come back. You shouldn't have stolen him. You stole Magnus too. You took him from Splashi. Why? Don't you like it when we're happy? Have we offended you somehow? Did you ever despise me enough to want to take him from me..?"

The clouds changed suddenly, almost as if Bell's words had angered them. The clouds seemed to make a face, a certain face. It let out a bellowing neigh and then crashed open, creating it's own spectrum of colours. A think, gray horse trotted down, his head hung low, his once black pelt now patched with gray and white. He looked old. The stallion trotted slowly to the river, standing still for a second. He looked at Baba and Magnus, watching their own two spectrums appear and then the two lifeless forms become small spirits. They clambered over the river easily to stand beside the stallion. I know about things leaving the stallion snorted. It wasn't easy to tell it was Thunder. I was given a second chance, my chances are up he closed his lifeless eyes. Hate me not, I like you being happy, there is a time in every horses life where they must simply leave he sighed, opening his eyes to show his shining brown irisis. I wish this not upon you, but life is life and death is death. A sudden act may create so much disorder, that it leads to death, think carefully and use this wisely Bell he stopped and lifted his head. If order is not returned, life will be no more the stallion reared up, flicking his tail. As the three were lifted into the air, the stallion's true colours were revealed. The gray stallion was now a black one. He turned and ran off back into the clouds.

Bell bared her teeth at Thunder. "Go away. Hate. You. You. Took. Baba. Away. Then. Try. Make. Up. For. It. With. Preaching." Bell's voice was angry, but her posture was weak. There was little life left in her now. One more knock and she was gone.

Misty snorted. She was still not over the loss of her foal. She closed her eyes and then lifted her head, just hearing some words. Bell? She trotted forwards to see Bell at the river. Her eyes widened. Bell! she shouted as loud as she could, which was not very loud at all. She looked at the river and then at Bell. Her coat was as faded as Thunder's had been.

Bell lifted her head wearily, her strength deserting her. She nickered to Misty sadly, dropping her head again, not strong enough to hold it up anymore. With some effort she shifted her position slightly, so as to use less energy on staying upright. On the other side of the river Splashi was dancing around like an idiot, trying to get to her mother and yet trying not to get kicked in the head by an over protective Lilly.

Misty snorted. She had little life left herself. She put her front hooves in the water, the current even stronger than she remembered it. She put her hole body in, her legs kicking as much as they could. She was able to reach the side but no pull herself up. She looked at Bell, pulling herself to keep steady on the rocks. What happened? she asked, her usually soft voice ragged and broken.

Splashi broked free from Lilly and shot powerfully across the river to help Misty out onto the bank. She swam back again, ears flickering nervously as she watched Lilly. Bell looked at the colts. Their soft coats were slick with water, their tousled manes hanging limply from the stiff necks. Bell blinked sadly, a tear coursing down her cheek when she did. "I hate your brother as well." She added, eyes flashing dark before returning to their dull gleam.

Misty nuzzled Splashi quickly and then shook her pelt. Her eyes went to the colts and then she turned away, images of her own foal being born without life. Her painful pregnancy for a lifeless newborn. She felt a tear fall down her face and she opened her eyes. I am so sorry she whispered. I don't blame you she let herself fall to her knees and then she put her head on the ground. Her eyes were dull now, no longer needing their shimmer. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Bell shrugged. "He stole my Baba. Then comes down and starts going on about balance and all that crap. I wanted to kick his teeth in, but I had no energy. Stupid horse." She grumbled the last, though her previous words had more energy than her entire being.

Misty opened her eyes. Oh..but he's right Bell she whispered. Without death, there would be no room for new life she closed her eyes again. Death is just a sacrifice to bring more into the world she snorted softly. But, it wasn't right to come and tell you that she whispered. The balance has changed too much already she let out a low groan of pain.

Bell remembered Misty's birth. Another tear left its mark on her face. "I know all that." She said, rolling her eyes. "I wish this not upon you, but life is life and death is death. A sudden act may create so much disorder, that it leads to death, think carefully and use this wisely Bell. If order is not returned, life will be no more." She quoted sourly, looking angry again.

Misty's eyes shot open and she tried to get to her hooves. No she said and pushed herself up shakily. All must be restored to the way it was Bell, no me, no Thunder, no return of Night Misty reared and fell t the side. She hid her head on one of the rocks and her eyes tuned cloudly. Make everything the way it was Bell she took a shallow breath. Or death will rule all her eyes suddenly lost all their colour, her rise and fall of her chest stopped suddenly and her last breath was taken.

Bell looked at her friend in stunned silence. "No. No, no, no, no, no!" She said, scrambling to her feet to move next to Misty. But she lost her balance on the narrow ledge, slipping into the raging river with a muffled cry.

Crash snorted. He began to run faster, stopping in front of Lilly and Splashi. His eyes searched for Bell but only found Misty. He blinked and looked away. Where's Bell? he asked frantically.
