T'was the night before Wintertide...

Sparkling red, blue, and green lights strung over various bushes brightened up a cozy little cabin in the middle of the woods. You could make out some lambicorns dancing in the frost-covered windows to some holiday music. As you approach the cabin, you see a sign on the door that says "Wintertide Party, come on in!" You had to admit, it was a pretty chilly night. And, it was getting a little late for a walk, although you were enjoying the lambicorn holiday. Maybe you should stop for a break?

The door creaked as you pulled it open, and a dusty wood scent filled the air. Some lambicorns were dancing by the fireplace in the living room, and a few were playing cards in the kitchen. In the corner of the living room, a table was set with cookies and milk. Why, you were hungry, too! Taking a cookie from the table, you make your way to the couch, where everyone was crowded around an old lambicorn telling stories.

He waves you over, "Why, hello there, fella! How 'bout you join me for a cup of cocoa and some story-tellin'. Let me tell ya how this booth will go. Every day or so there'll be a new prompt to write, and more will be added as time goes on. If you complete all the prompts, you'll win some candicanes! Easy 'n simple. Let the Wintertide tales begin, pals!"

Rutherford waves you over, "Well, I guess I'll start things off... I'm Rutherford Po. I guess you could say my favorite hobbies are card playin', swing dancing and fishing. What? My favorite color? That's an easy one! Blue. Color of the water, can never go wrong with blue. Anyway, what about you youngsters?"

Rutherford takes a bite of his cookie. "Let's see now, I come from Castellina, way up in the clouds. It's a pretty place, we got all sorts of castles and villages. Some of y'all might've heard about the Festival of Dreams, ooh boy, you ain't seen no fireworks till you see those punchers. We even have a goddess too, she provides the magic for us. Huh? Oh, nah, I havn't seen 'er. She's a mystery, that's for sure... don't tell anybody else, but I have a crush on her. Pah! Enough about ol' me, where might you come from?"

Rutherford Po leans back and takes a nice long sip from his hot cocoa. "Nice to hear about your hometown. Yeah, makes me think about the poor folk who don't have a home. Always appreciate what ya got, even if it's little. Say what now? Oh, traditions.. hum hum. When I was a lambaby, my pals and I'd use to go out and decorate as many houses as we could with crazy-colored lights, before we'd get caught. Whoever did the most houses got the best dessert." Rutherford waved his hooves up in the air all excited like. "It was a silly thing to do, lookin' back on it, but it created some pretty fun memories. How 'bout you, what're your traditions?

A sharp, cool wind blew the cabin door open, letting in all the harsh winter air. The wind sounded like it was picking up speed, and small flurries of snow soon turned into mini-tornados, blanketing the roof. Rutherford grumbled. "We must have a small snow-storm or somethin'. It'll be alright, just stay here y'all." Po set down his mug with a content sigh. "Yup, gotta love em traditions. They make it seem like home, wherever ya are. Ah, I was always the adventurous kid. Used to go sledding and bike riding down em huge hills to look cool. Always got scolded, but I liked to show off. My main thing was skateboardin', though. I was pretty good back in the day. I'd skate for hours on end wit my buddies, and sometimes we'd drop off mail for the old folks since we were so speedy. Hehe. Say, what's your hobby? What kinda lambie are ya?"

"Yeah. Exercising your physical self and your mental self is good for ya. You know, I'm not that much of an old gramp. I can still kick it pretty good today." Rutherford made punching motions with his hooves. "Huh? Oh right, the door, woops!" The lambicorn went to go shut the cabin door, struggling against the strong winds blowing from the outside until a few other lambies helped him close it. "Sorry y'all, I'm a little forgetful." Crack! Hail hit one of the front windows, the ice splitting the glass into pieces on the floor. Frosty air flooded into the cabin as chunks of ice dropped on the roof here and there with a pit-pat like rhythm. "Gah! This is a strong one! E'vryone, get to the basement!"

You and the other lambicorns hurried down the stairs into the dark, dusty basement, hoping to seek shelter from the storm. Rutherford Po followed quickly after, making sure the basement door was locked behind him. "Everybody here? Whew, I tell ya. This is one Wintertide, that's for sure. You know, when I was younger I wanted to be a weather forecaster. One of those know-it-alls who tell people if it's sunny today or somethin', hehe. Didn't have the patience for it though. But eventually I became a bookstore owner, 'cause I had a knack for reading. Hey, speaking of jobs, what do you wanna be when you grow up?"

"Well, good luck on your journey fellow. Chase your dreams, never give 'em up!" Crash! Something from upstairs fell over. Rutherford sighed.

"The last time we had a winter storm of this kind... well, it was back when I was a young lambie. Have y'all ever heard the Tale of the Wind-Watcher? When I was young, it was a common tale to keep the lambabies from going out to play at night during the winter months, mostly because they could come down with a cold or somethin' worse." Rutherford sat down and made himself comfortable.

"OK, well, rumors say that the ancient elder Ilfvin despised the warmth of the summer months. Nobody really knows why, but it did. Because of this newfound hatred, it used its power to bring a terrible blizzard down upon the village of Castellina, hoping to cast it into an eternal frost."

"Ilfvin, morphed by it's evil nature, transformed from a lambicorn into a horrid looking creature--more of a primal version of it's past lambicorn self--and became known as the Wind-Watcher. The tale says that the storm lasted for five months, until the lambicorns rallied against the Wind-Watcher with the strength and help of Goddess Aurorae, and banished it into unknown lands."

It seemed that right as Rutherford finished telling the tale, a bird-like screeching noise rang out continually. "What's that? And where's it comin' from?" He barked. The noise sounded like it was coming from all around the group of lambicorns, but with no distinct origin place. Old Po sat silent for a moment. The lambicorns grew uneasy. A terrible raging storm, and now this?

"Could it be the Wind-Watcher's return?" Rutherford stared ahead with a terrified look on his face."What should we do y'all? I think I got some wood in here to barricade the basement door with..."

The screeching sound came to a halt as it seemed to fade away. After a few moments, Rutherford spoke.
"Thank y'all for the blankets and supplies. We should be safe in here, and eh, maybe you're right, may not be the old Wind-Watcher... maybe a bird. I'll keep one of 'em eyes open though. Silly of me to think that it'd come back, heh.. But ya never know!" Rutherford cleared his throat. "Well now, where were we? Huh? Oh, love?... shucks, I dunno..." A blush overcame Old Po's face, and he looked away to avoid getting caught. "I suppose I could tell y'all the story of my sweetheart. We're still together today, except she's out at her friend's house for the night. Maybe I should call her, check if she's okay.." He pawed at the ground.

"Right, right, the story. See now, when I was a young fella, the movie theater just became a thing. They were mighty excitin' and all brand new, and so I decided if I was gonna take my crush out on a date, that's where we'd go first. Anyway, I first saw her at the Halloween masquerade party that year. Ooh, she was stunning! She wore a beautiful green and black Victorian type gown, and a gold with silver trim mask. I just thought she was so darn pretty, and I asked her out right then and there. Lucky for me she said yes, otherwise I dunno where I'd be today without her!" Rutherford gave a warm chuckle. "I took her to go see a spooky horror movie, just so I could cover her eyes and hold her when the scary parts came 'long. She hasn't left me since, heh!" His eyes twinkled with a smile. "Hmm, what 'bout you? Fancy anyone out there?"

"Ahh, young love. So sweet, so fragile. Old love too, I guess, heh!" Rutherford snorted. "Yeah, if you havn't met 'em yet, yer surely will someday. I think there's someone out there for everyone. Sometimes it ain't always the right time though, ya know? They may come later in life. Anyway--" BANG! Rutherford whipped his head around to the basement door. "Naw, it can't be!" He gaped.

"Uhh, ermm, it's fine y'all, don't think it's much to worry about..." Scratching sounds were heard from the other side of the door, and pots and pans clattered against it with a fierceness about them. Rutherford held his breath, his eyes scanning the room. All went silent...
The basement door busted open. A pair of blinding white eyes appeared, shrouding the pitch-black darkness of the basement door--somehow the lights upstairs got shut off.

Rutherford blinked, unmoving.

A blast of freezing wind poured through the room, and flurries of snow funneled in quickly behind it. In a very soft, hushed tone, something (or someone) whispered with a bitter hiss:

"GET OUT!" It demanded.

The lambicorns rushed into a state of panic and horror at the sight of the monster, creature, whatever it was. Rutherford snapped out of his daze...

"Ilfvin..." He stammered. No! He told himself. "QUICKLY! Follow me!" Rutherford scrambled to his hooves without missing a beat, and bolted for a secret passageway hidden by a crevice wedged between two shelves. Some of the lambicorns followed him, but most of them scattered in shere panic and shock. Thundering hoofsteps sounded behind him, impending his capture. "You're doomed! You're all doomed!" The mysterious voice cackled after him.

Only a few lambies managed to squeeze into the tight escape corridor without getting caught, the rest hid for their lives behind stacks of boxes.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are! Don't be shy, oh no, please! Show yourselves!"

Rutherford didn't waste any time.

In a flash, he was racing down the passage like a lightning bolt.

The interior passageway was built like that of a hallway, although much smaller, so you couldn't stand at full height. Some kind of
mysterious magic illuminated the hall however, and shrunk down the Elders so that they could fit inside.

Heavy footsteps and incredibly massive stomps that shook the earth came from outside the passage. The Wind-Watcher was not far behind... but Rutherford wasn't sure if it would continue the chase. Would it stop them? Puzzled, he kept on parading down the hall.

"Watch out!" One of the lambicorns called out in a desperate attempt at Rutherford. Everyone whirled around to face the imminent danger. An icy, mint blue imp with frightening spikes for horns on it's head came charging down the path. Rutherford's eyes widened at the sight. "One of the Wind-Watcher's minions! Y'all, we don't have time! RUN!" Rutherford's voice boomed, and it rattled the lambicorns enough for them to get moving.

"Looks like somebody won't be getting home for Wintertide! In fact, I don't think there'll be a Wintertide at all!!" The minion cackled menacingly. "Don't worry about him! He's just trying to scare us! Keep going!" Po encouraged everyone. Huffing and puffing, the group pressed on, but the minion did too. After a few moments of pure running, Rutherford took a chance to glance back.

There were more of them!

Two new minions had joined the first, galloping with fierce determination written all over their faces, and they were gaining speed. This wasn't going to end well for the lambicorns. They needed a distraction!

Rutherford gave it some thought, and at last he came up with a plan. He was the distraction.

"Y'all, don't stop running! I'm gonna to try to distract them. If I don't make it back, well, ehh... tell Rosetta that I love 'er!"

He skidded to a halt, gathering up dirt underneath his hooves, and circled around to face his enemies.

"Uhh..." Rutherford struggled to find his words. What was his silly plan again??... "Stop!! I'll make a deal with ya!" He practically sang.

The minions slowed down a bit, prancing for now. "What in the stars did he say? A seal with us?" A snow-white imp said to the other minion--a light green creature with a tint of lime. "Umm, I think he wants to make a meal for us." He answered. "No, you bobbleheads!! He wants to make a deal with us." The light blue minion the lambicorns met turned to Rutherford.

"Listen up! I'm Zena, or Zee-Zee for short, and we're the Wind Strikers! The Wind-Watcher sent us. Just wait until she finds out we caught you!" He chortled. "I'm Song!" Chimed in the one who resembled a snowball, whilst the green one added: "Ray. I'm Ray!"
"Shut up!! We're not making friends here!" Zena snapped. Rutherford raised a telling eyebrow at the pack of mischievous imps, but shook his head.
"Never mind that! I'm here to make a deal. If I agree with the Wind-Watcher's plans, whatever those may be, will you let my friends go?" Rutherford pleaded.
"Who'd want to be your--oops--who are your friends?" Zeena tried hard to hold in his laugh, his eyes were twitching.
"Those darn lambicorns back there! Now, will ya let em go or not?"

Meanwhile, the lambicorns maneuvered through twists and turns, and passed rabbit holes here and there that lead to who knows what, and finally came upon a dead end after three minutes of non-stop sprinting for their lives.

They were lost. They had no idea where they were going!

"But guys, where's Rutherford??"

Song floated beside Zeena. "Do you promise to come with us?" She asked with a soft voice.
"I prom--" Rutherford started--"Oh please. Are you seriously asking him if he will come with us? He's coming whether he likes it or not!" Zeena argued.
Ray blinked. "Uh, look, we'll keep your friends safe, alright? No harm done, of course no promises either, heh, and I can't guarantee their safety, but uhmm... we won't put our paws on them." He offered with a shrug.
Zeena rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Ray. No one will touch your precious little frien--" He looked behind Rutherford. "Wait. Where are your friends? Yikes, they totally ditched you!"
"Aww, that's kinda sad." Song frowned.
Ray scoffed, "Such friends they are!"
Rutherford stayed silent, he didn't utter a word...
Zeena narrowed his brows. "Something's off... wait! UGH!" He seethed, "Trying to create a distraction so they can slip away under our noses? Like that'd even work, you pathetic lambie!"
"Please, don't hurt them! I don't know where they we--" Po began to panic. What would happen to his friends? Did they escape? What if they don't make it out in time?
"Enough! Ray, get this sorry excuse for a lambicorn out of here and back to the Wind-Watcher. Song, you and I are gonna go track down those lambies!"
"Wait, no! Please! Let them go, I promise I'll come with you guys if you just leave them alone!" Rutherford's eyes began to sparkle with tears. He wasn't going to let them get away with this...!

Ray stalked towards Rutherford with a snarl. "Wind-Watcher's right-hand imp's orders, I'm afraid...!" He gave the lambicorn a look of pity. Rutherford Po did not know what to do now. In fact, he wasn't really sure of his plan in the first place. This was it: his doom.

Unless?

"Y'all, HELP!!" Rutherford called out in one last desperate shout for his friends.

The inside of the basement was like a mini-snow storm now. Freezing air filled the room, and frost bit the lambicorns noses as they huddled in various corners and behind tall boxes to get away from the Wind-Watcher's sight.
"Come out wherever you are! I know there's still some of you in here!" It's high-pitched voice rang throughout the room.
"Bow down to me, and maybe I'll spare your little Rutherford friend! Although--I can't make too many promises!" It cackled with pride.

A moment or two of pure silence passed--minus the heavy breathing of the lambicorns in hiding--and the Wind-Watcher had had enough. The basement door slammed shut with a spark of magic from the old Elder's horn, but at that same moment one of the lambicorns sneezed, and the Wind-Watcher whirled around to face the noise.
"Oh, how embarrassing it must be to be the one to give your friends' hiding places away! A shame, really. But not for me!" The Elder trotted forward to a stack of boxes in the corner and stretched her long neck down to examine them. The lambicorn that she was only a few steps away from trembled in fear. In a split second the Wind-Watcher looked around the corner and spotted a bright red lambie gazing up at her with terror-filled eyes. Behind that one was a blue polka-dotted lambicorn, and an old Elder beside them. Ilfvin stood there for a moment, squinting because of it's poor eyesight, and then grinned a malicious grin.

"Aha! Found you, you fools!" She bent down and whisked away the blue-polka dotted lambie tightly by the scruff, revealing a few other lambicorns huddling behind them.
"No! Please, don't take her away!!" A pink lambie cried helplessly. The Wind-Watcher chortled with laughter. "Aww, how cute! Is this your... 'friend'?" It spit out the last few words. The lambicorn nodded to it.
"Well, they won't be for so long. I think we'll have you for dinner first!" It gestured to the lambicorn in it's grasp. "If my minions could just track down that petty little Rutherford, we can have a nice cooked meal..." Ilfvin's eyes beamed with some unknown evil power lurking inside them, just waiting to get it's claws on somebody...

"OH WAIT! I know! You all will come with me and go find him. But don't worry, you're staying within my sight!" The powerful Elder cast a dark magic spell on all the lambicorns present, keeping them from running from it at a certain distance. "Now... let's see," The Wind-Watcher illuminated the crevice in the wall where Rutherford had escaped into, with a bright purple light, and expanded it so that everyone could get inside. "Now, off we go!"

"RUTHERFORD!!" A festive party colored lambie came rushing into the scene, right out into the hall of the passageway, Rutherford's escape route. He attempted to come to a quick stop, but found himself stumbling over one imp minion which flew him into a forward roll and ended up catapulting his friend into another imp! "We're here to help! We're not going to let you get taken away!" He coughed hysterically--all the wind had been taken out of him. An orange lambicorn with blue markings came thundering into hallway with a posse of her own, surrounding Rutherford and protecting him from attack. "Yeah! We're ready to fight! You're not getting away with this!" She scolded the imps.

Zeena watched with a cruel, disapproving gaze as his partners floundered on the ground, waving their paws up in the air. "Get up, you... you pea-brains! They're onto us!!" His eyes widened with alarm. He almost looked scared. Song rolled around on the floor. "Help!" She called out. Zeena rolled his eyes and extended a paw to her which she took with no hesitation, as Ray buzzed his wings and flew up into the air with a scowl written all over his face.

Rutherford was ecastitic! His friends had come to help! There was no way the imps could take on all of them now--

CRASH!!


A chunk of the floor was smashed in by the Wind-Watcher's heavy hooves as it stomped towards Rutherford. Packs of lambicorns Rutherford recognized followed in behind it. They all appeared to be on it's side! Now they were outnumbered!
"Going somewhere? I don't think so!" It boomed, it's loud voice bouncing off the walls. "I'm here to get rid of you for good!" It grinned malevolently and stalked towards Rutherford with a snarl. The two sides of the lambicorns began quarreling, and the quarreling led to tussels and then spiraled into fights. Lambicorns rolled around on the floor and wrestled with each other, snapping and hissing. The Wind-Watcher's smile deepened and it's eyes blazed with pure fury and power: it was clear they were enjoying this. Rutherford couldn't stop the tear from rolling down his cheek.
"I thought you were on our side!"
"My own sister!"
"Who are you fighting for?!"
"Stop! Peace!"
"Get em!!"
"No, no! Stop this!!" Good old Po tried to say, but all he got out was "Stoop!" Before some random lambicorn came and tackled him to the ground.

It was a mess, everyone was battling against each other and it seemed like it dragged on forever.

"Stop biting me!" Rutherford yelped, pulling back a sore hoof. "I want peace! Please..." He sobbed.

The Wind-Watcher saw it's chance, and leapt beside Rutherford. "Now you can't run, or hide!" It cackled without any care in the world, and began to conjure up a wicked spell. "Here's my chance to gather up your magic and send you to your doom! I know you're precious to She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, that scoundrel! If I can get back at her, I'll take my chance!" Spat the Elder. The purple magic was sparking, sparkling and fizzing up around it's horn now, and the Wind-Watcher pointed it's horn at Rutherford...

The final moment was now....

ZAAAAAAAAAP!!![/b][/i]

"RUTHERFORD??"

"HELP!!!"


Someone launched themself at Rutherford and sent him tumbling head over hoof sideways, out of the range of the Wind-Watcher's spell, just in the brink of time--as some other brave lambicorn swooped in to take his place--

"NOOOOOOOO!" The Wind-Watcher bellowed with displeasure.

"HALT, my lambicorns!" Someone called out.

The command was heard over all the turmoil and fighting among the lambicorns, and everyone obeyed--they stopped to turn and look for where the sound came from.


The powerful zap of magic from the Wind-Watcher clashed with bright pink magic streaming out from an unknown lambicorn’s horn. They seemed like a regular lambie that was just in the battling crowd--their coat was composed of a soft lavender color with streaks of white, and shimmery rainbow undertones (which was odd), but the Elder knew better. This lambicorn was special...

"Can it be?" Ilfvin gasped, the stranger's magic overpowering theirs and gaining a closer range on the Wind-Watcher's horn.

Rutherford Po felt it too--he could feel the power from the two illuminate the room. Their auras were strong together, but one slightly overpowered the other... in the midst of all the chaos and discord, Rutherford felt some sort of chilling peace. It was like a paw stretched out from the mysterious stranger and embraced him in a hug, although no one was hugging him.

"I saved you! I really did it!" A green lambicorn out of the corner of Rutherford's eye clapped his hooves together in excitement.

"Ah, 'tanks! You really done did so... if it weren't for you, well naw I might've not lived ta see another day!" Po beamed back at him. Shiny sparkles trickled down the green lambie's face, and he began weeping. "Of course sir!! We all love Rutherford! I'm Popcorn by the way!" He smiled brightly, but before Rutherford could reply, the Wind-Watcher screamed an ugly word.

Pink overcame purple, and the Wind-Watcher looked like it was going to be defeated.
"Wait, NO!" The Elder shook it's head and pushed dark magic back against it's opponent, not willing to give up the fight just yet. "MINIONS!" It called. The three imps finally regained their senses after a rough fall, and flew to their leader.
"Keep the lambicorns busy!" The Wind-Watcher gritted it's teeth. "Understood!" Zeena barked. "You got it!!" Ray chimed in. "Um... yeah!" Nodded Song.

The trio swarmed the packs of lambicorns, and began distracting them all by zapping them with magic--the lambies began fighting back again, jumping up and tackling the minions one after the other. The lambies under the Wind-Watcher's spell began quarreling with other lambies again, turning everybody against each other. Somebody flung Zeena across the hall and sent him skidding away, while Song and Ray tried to avoid getting struck by paralyzing magic.

One poor lambicorn was cornered by three of the Wind-Watcher's lambicorn followers, and was being zapped with all sorts of magic, making them contort into weird positions and changing their shape--they cried out, "HELP!!"

You swooped in and saved the day--zapping, shoving, tripping the minions from behind one by one. A wave of relief washed over the trembling lambicorn's face, and they relaxed their shoulders. "T-Thank you so much," Their mouth quivered as tears trickled down their face. "You saved me! I really don't know what to say, t-thank you!! Uh, I'm Sephora!!" Sephora gave a weak smile, but it was definitely geninue. "Ah, I really don't... don't know what I'm doing here to be honest, I just wanted a cup of hot cocoa tonight--" She whispered quietly, but her voice was overpowered by the Wind-Watcher screeching--

"GAHHH!!"

The Elder and the newcomer were still battling it out, but the vivid, vibrant pink power began overwhelming the sparkling purple once again.

"NO!!" The Elder screamed in fury. "You're not defeating me!" It broke off from the fight with the stranger, dodging the pink magic and zooming out of the way. The Wind-Watcher floated in the sky, and opened it's mouth wide, unhinging it's jaw to Rutherford's surprise, and he almost gagged in disgust.

"FEED ME!!" Ilfvin boomed at the lambicorns, and pools of magic from the lambicorns became sucked up by the Wind-Watcher like a vacuum.


Rutherford felt a tugging on his horn, and his magic started to seep out of him, sending it straight to the Wind-Watcher. He felt incredibly weak as his power was drained from him.

"No...." He coughed, and sunk to the floor.

"Now, WHERE WERE WE?!!" The Wind-Watcher whirled around to face the unknown stranger.

That stranger couldn't keep this up for long.

But Rutherford couldn't help but wonder... "How is this stranger so powerful?" He whispered to himself, still lying on the floor where he took a tumble. "I don't know," Replied Popcorn who sat beside him. Both of them didn't seem too interested in quarreling.

The purple started to overpower the pink, and the Wind-Watcher was getting excited. "AHA! You're no match for me, you FOOL! With this magic from all of the lambicorns, you won't even stand a chance!" The Elder swooped down and pointed it's mouth at one of the quivering lambicorns in the corner, and inhaled her magic in an instant. "NO! Swift!" Someone cried out.


"Who are you? You're far too powerful for a regular lambicorn. SHOW YOURSELF!" The Wind-Watcher howled at it's opponent.

"I cannot, it is blinding." They replied with a soft voice, different than the one they announced themself with.

"Oh, you think you're blinding?! I'll show my true form then! If that's how we're going to play!" The Wind-Watcher flew up high above the war zone, and streams of pure moonlight rained down on the lambicorns below. The Elder morphed into strange shapes--a triangle, a circle, back to a lambicorn but with no legs, then to a lambicorn with only a head and torso with no fore-legs, and then that form contorted into a pretzel--and then in an instant, everything went totally dark.

There was complete silence. All the fighting stopped.

"VOILA, MY SUBJECTS!" The Wind-Watcher cackled above all her so-called "subjects", and Rutherford looked up to see.

The Elder was as bright as a neon blue could get, as far away from a warm color as possible. It stung his eyes and tears welled up at the corners. It was so... oddly beautiful... but he forced himself to look away before he became blind at the sight. Lambicorns gazed up at the Elder in frightened awe.

"And now--" The Wind-Watcher grinned deviously down on the war zone below it. "I'LL BECOME THE MOST POWERFUL ELDER EVER!" The Wind-Watcher began pointing it's jaw at a lambicorn there, a lambicorn, here--inhaling magic of all kinds, growing bigger by the second--the only option is to hide--but where?!

The Wind-Watcher was triple times the size she was before. Quadruple even. Maybe even quintuple...

But that's besides the point. The Elder continued sucking up magic from various lambicorns--it pin-pointed Rutherford, and zapped Sephora's magic right from her as she toppled over. "No! Sephora!" Rutherford gasped in fear.

"That is enough!" The stranger who was battling with the Elder shouted in pulsing fury, and flapped it's wings with anger.

It shot up into the air beside the Elder. "SHELTER YOUR EYES, MY LAMBICORNS!" It spoke out for all to hear.

BOOM!!

The room exploded with light.

Rutherford couldn't help to look up, he was too curious...

The lambicorn who had just flown up into the air moments before, was now a blinding orb of light. It's wings still protruded out from it's glittering transparent body, and Rutherford only spotted golden glowing hooves before his eyes involuntarily shut from the beauty and intensity of the creature. Rays of sunlight beamed down on his face, and he suddenly realized who the stranger was.

"GODDESS AURORAE!" The Wind-Watcher screeched in surprise.

"It is true, it is I." The lambicorns all gasped collectively.

"But I am not here for games. I have come to banish you back into the abyss, where you BELONG!" The Goddess thundered back.
The Wind-Watcher scowled furiously at her. "Not again, you won't! So much for a goddess, pah! I'LL PLAY GODDESS INSTEAD!" It screamed, and shot rays of purple magic at the Goddess, who quickly fought back and countered it with glowing streaks of pink.
"Ilfvin, I have banished you once. What makes you think I can't do it again?" She spoke in a cool, calming voice, while battling it out, power against power. "Because I'm stronger now. Just WATCH!" The Wind-Watcher shot all of it's power at the Goddess Aurorae.

But Goddess Aurorae didn't flinch one inch.

"Goodbye, Ilfvin." She sang out, as she pointed her horn down at the squirming Elder, confused as to why her plan hadn't worked.


BANGGGGGGG!!!!

The Goddess sent out a crackling powerful ray of pink, stunning the Wind-Watcher, and sending it thundering down to the ground below.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Ilfvin cried out in absolute fury, anger, and spite, as it plummetted through the ground down into the earth, and down into it's eternal banishment for good.

The spell on all of the lambicorns broke, and they began rejoicing, and healing the wounded.

They were saved!

The Goddess flew down closer to the lambicorns--hovering up above them she lifted up her horn. Pink sparkles came out, and then exploded quickly with a pop. Rutherford felt the rest of his magic flow back into him, rejuvenating his body. Lambicorns around him cheered as they gained their magic back, hugged each other, stared in awe at the beautiful Goddess before them.

Rutherford knew she was real.


"Be free, my lambabies." She glistened and glittered with mysterious beauty.

The Goddess floated down to Rutherford. He kept his eyes shut from the blinding light, but it faded after a moment, and he opened them again. The Goddess had changed her form back to a regular lambicorn. "I-I-Is it really you?...." He stuttered profusely. "Yes, it is I, my child. Thank you for your service. You have helped me bring Ilfvin back to it's banishment. They are a danger to our world, and I cannot thank you enough for alerting me."

"I-I-I-, what??" Rutherford began sweating. What did he do now?!

"Here is my final goodbye."

The Goddess rose up into the air, flying without a care in the world, all the freedom of the universe in her, and and all of her was the universe--

"MERRY WINTERTIDE TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT."
She called out joyfully, and sweetly wrapped presents floated down to the ground, like rain showering the lambicorns with gifts. There was more than plenty for the lambicorns gathered there, and everyone rejoiced and danced and sang.

Rutherford watched as the Goddess slowly faded, her body becoming a blur...

She gave him a wink--

"CUP OF COCOA AT MY PLACE SOMETIME?!" Rutherford shouted up at Goddess Auroare.

She gave a heavenly laugh, and then she vanished.

Rutherford nearly wanted to faint.

The Goddess just winked at him.

And he just asked her out on a date to his house.

Oh, Rutherford...


"Well, uh, I guess we can go home now." Rutherford turned to you and the other lambicorns.

"Merry Wintertide, y'all. Merry Wintertide."

Prompt:
Two lambicorns walk up to Rutherford, one being around the size of a miniature pony and the other around the size of a clydsdale. The taller one, had blocky bangs covering his eyes and being quite colorful and looking like a piñata. The smaller one resembled a opossum, but his tail was patches of fabric and he looked like he suffered from severe anxiety. The smaller one lead the taller one around, their tails wrapped together. The taller one spoke first in a deep tone. "Yo, i'm Jordan, I enjoy spending my time walking I guess? I'm usually in the trees in the woods sleeping when I'm not getting dragged to parties." His head tilted towards the small lambicorn, you could assume it was a playful glare.
The smaller lambicorn let out a nervous laugh. "ahah,, Sorry about that I just thought- Nevermind about that." He'd look back to Rutherford, a small smile on his face. "I'm Pistachio, I make blankets for the homeless! I'm usually sowing or following my friends around."

I also like to prank others in a festive way, and I like to make people feel the cheer of the season!

Prompt:
Sydney shivered as she pulled the door open, holding for Herrick and Tera as they followed after. The small group was greeted by an old lambicorn - Rutherford, he'd said his name was.
"Pleasure to meet you, good sir," Herrick greeted him with a smile. Sydney brought over two steaming mugs of hot cocoa, handing the one with marshmallows in it to Tera. Herrick wrinkled his nose - ever a lambie of sophistication, he preferred tea himself. "Herrick Haberly, Head Librarian of the Arcanum Obscura," he introduced himself formally. "This is my younger sister, Sydney, and my - er, daughter, I suppose, Tera."
"Nice to meet you," Sydney said rather stiffly with an awkward smile. She took a sip of her hot cocoa, licking the foam off of her mouth with a coffee-coloured tongue.
"'Sup," Tera simply uttered. She seemed rather distracted, probably scanning the room for pranking opportunities. She slowly drifted away from the group, most likely running off to cause mayhem somewhere.
Sydney listened intently as Rutherford spoke, exchanging a glance with her older brother. "Both Herrick and I enjoy reading and studying, but we research rather different topics," she answered, raising an eyebrow at Herrick. The jackalope lambie simply huffed out a small breath, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. Sydney shot a half-hearted glare his way as she thought over the rest of the question. "I don't really have a favourite colour," she admitted, shifting on her feet. "I'm rather partial to blue, purple, orange, and green, but that's about it."
"I myself prefer tweed," Herrick piped up in that british accent of his.
"Ugh, could you be even more of a stereotype? That's not even a colour," Sydney quipped, earning her a stern look from her brother.

Stuffles and Avery approached Rutherford with a curious expression. The elf Lambicorn introducing himself with a smile on his face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir Rutherford! I'm Avery! I help out with making gifts for other Lambicorns! And I really like sweet things... like chocolate and hot cocoa... yummy.."

Stuffles smiled at the companion he met not too long ago. He liked Avery's attitude. It was so cheery and happy. Perfect for this festive season. When he noticed both of them were looking at him expectantly, he cleared his throat. And introduced himself as well.
"I'm Stuffles and it's certainly a pleasure to meet you, Rutherford. If I had to say something about myself it would most likely be that I enjoy cheering others up."
The two settled in as they were handed their mugs respectively. And Avery's ears perked to show he was certainly happy to have a cup of hot cocoa. A broad smile on his face as he drank it. While the two others shared idle talk with each other.
