Chapter 17
Braeburn takes Raveon and Avery to see Chief Thunderhooves.
Raveon: "Oh my God. He's huge."
Avery: "Very."
Chief Thunderhooves: "We have a long and winding stampeding trail that we have run upon for many generations. My father stampeded upon these grounds, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him…."
Raveon: (rolls eyes)
Avery: (raising eyebrow)
Braeburn: "I think they get the idea, sir."
Chief Thunderhooves: "It is a sacred tradition to run the path every year. But now we coexist with the Appleloosans. We agreed to let the apple orchard stay in exchange for a share of its delicious apple pies!" (slurping licking the lips)
Braeburn: "Yep! They just love our apple pies so much."
Avery: "Well why did the other tribe take Little Strongheart?"
Raveon: "That's what I like to know. When she knock me out and took her, she called Strongheart a traitor. Braeburn said that because you're friends with the ponies."
Chief Thunderooves: "Yes. I'm afraid it is all my fault that Little Strongheart was taken. The chief of the other tribe is named Chief Powerhorn and he was an old friend of mine. Before we were friends with the Appleloosans, both of our tribes didn't like how the settler ponies planted apple trees all over the grounds without our permission."
Braeburn: "Now that we live in peace with the buffalos, they hate us even more. And now they hate Chief and his tribe…"
Avery: "That's not fair… Right Raveon? Raveon?"
Raveon: …...
Chief Thunderhooves: "I've raised Little Strongheart ever since she was a baby. I raised her like my own daughter. I took care of her and trained her. The thought of her being taken by her own kind over a feud… it makes me want to…I just want her back safe and sound…"
Braeburn: "And now you know."
Avery: "Poor chief. We have to do something Raveon. Raveon?"
Raveon: (eyes glowing green with anger)
(Avery, Braeburn, and buffalo gasp)
Raveon: "Don't worry Chief. We will get her back for you. C'mon tomorrow, we got a tribe to talk to!"
(buffalos cheering)
Later on, that night, Raveon and Avery stayed in a teepee waiting for tomorrow to come.
Raveon: "I can't sleep." (walking out of the teepee, looking at the night sky)
Avery: "Raveon? Are you alright?"
Raveon: "I couldn't save her. Because I'm stuck like this…"
Avery: "What do you mean?"
Raveon: "I'm a good fighter. I've been fighting like this all my life thanks to my mom and dad. They taught me everything they know. They even taught my brother and sister some moves in my world. But now… now that I'm a unicorn, it's like the stuff they taught me, I never learned it. It seems like now that I'm in this body, I'm useless. Maybe if I was in my human form, I could've saved Strongheart."
Avery: "It's not your fault Raveon. Don't think like that."
Raveon: "But it's true. If I had my old body right now, I would be able to help bring her back home."
Avery: "You have to know your own strengths and weaknesses Raveon. Sure you're not in your human form. But being unicorn can help you. Just make the most of what you have as a unicorn."
Raveon: (smiling) "I guess you just made me feel a hell of a lot better with my problem. Thank you Avery."
Avery: (blushing extremely) "W-we should get some sleep."
Raveon and Avery laid next to each other in the teepee still waiting for tomorrow to come.
Much later, Raveon was having a bad dream. He was human again. And he was playing with the pony version of Avery. Until he saw her again. The buffalo that took Little Strongheart. Raveon got ready to run, until he turned back into a pony.
Raveon's nightmare
Raveon: "Avery! No!"
Avery: "Raveon save me!"
Mystery Buffalo: "He can't save you. He's too weak!"
Raveon: "Give her back to me!"
The mystery buffalo kick Raveon in the face causing him to fall back and hold on to the edge of the train.
Mystery Buffalo: "You need fingers to hold on whatever the hell those are!" (evil laughing)
Raveon: "Don't do it!"
The mystery buffalo pushed Raveon off the train causing him to fall. He kept falling and falling and falling until finally Raveon woke up from his horrible nightmare all sweaty and out of breath.
Nightmare ends.
Raveon: (breathing heavily)
Avery: (waking up) "Raveon are you okay? You look tense and upset."
Raveon: (rubbing his face) "I have a very bad dream. I can't sleep Avery. I don't know what to do."
Avery: "Maybe I can help you with that."
Raveon: "How?"
Avery used her muzzle to go up and down Raveon's neck. She kiss and rubbed making him moan with pleasure. When she got up to his ear and started biting on it, he said her name.
Raveon: "Avery~~"
Then to finish up, Avery kiss Raveon on the lips. It was passionate like before. So hot and soft. Then Raveon kissed her back entering his tongue into her mouth trying to find her tongue. He finally found it and connected. Raveon was now feeling so much better. Because he had Avery to comfort him. After a few minutes, they finally broke apart.
Raveon: "I'm feeling so much better now. And it's all thanks to you."
Avery: "I'm glad. What would you do without me?"
Raveon: "I have no idea. Come here you."
Avery came closer as the two of them went straight back to sleep.
Now it is time to get Little Strongheart back. Will they succeed or will talking with the tribe make things a whole lot worst. Stay tune to find out in Chapter 18.
