Cera freaked at what she saw "Ah! how... what!" she stuttered with shock seeing her move backfire

"Me very very confused" Petrie said to them

"a lesson to you young threehorn. Don't ever say i can't do something." Stripetail said coldly.

"Hey don't get all cold with me! I don't know nothing about you!" Cera snapped back "So before going all cold and stuffy don't snap at me" Cera said to him calmly "So lets forget this and..." Cera touch her tail at him "Not it!" She said and ran with Petrie flying with her from Stripetail giving it a shot to lighten his mood giving a bit of fun to it.

Stripetail crossed his arms for a moment, smirked, and raced after them.

Latias still had Littlefoot looking at her with shock so she used the tail of her tail to give him a tiny tap on the side of his snout which making him shake his head and bring him out of the shocked look he had

As Stripetail raced after cera and Petrie he felt a strange sense of freedom., freedom from the responsibilities of being a lord, the cares that he had dealt with on a daily basis for ages, they were taken off of him. He could not remembver a time where he had been this way, he had been a servant to another lord before he became a lord himself, and he could not remember ever having the free time to just play with other youngsters, without care or worry. He smiled inwardly. "I will cherish this moment, and store it in my memories" he thought as he slowly caught up to cera and Petrie.

Cera and Petrie ran/fly from Stripetail then they saw the log ahead they slowed a bit with Stripetail getting right close to them then both spilt up just as Stripetail about to get them with them spilting up Stripetail jumped but caught his left claw foot and went head over hills landing in the water with a mighty Splash.

Cera with Petrie on her head laughing before the mud slope cracked and they fell into the water. she surfaced from the shallow water with Petrie on her head. "Look like we all got wet" Cera laughed again looking at Stripetail just as soaked with water running off his scaling Rainbow Face body.

Nick22 · **Reply #167 on:** September 21, 2005, 09:30:07 AM

'yes we are wet" Stripetail smiled and he splashed cera and Petrie with water. 'tHis is fun" He laughed as they shook off the cold water.

"Looks who lost their stress looking mood and now enjoying there selfs" Cera said with a smile using her tail to splash water back at him. "Didn't you have this kind of fun when you was a kid?" Cera questioned

Nick22 · **Reply #169 on:** September 21, 2005, 09:57:15 AM

No, " Stripetail said bluntly. "When i was a kid, I never had the time to play with other kids, I had to carry out the wishes of someone else. no matter what they requested, no matter how tired I was, I had to do what he wanted. I was something called a 'servant'. a servant is beholden to a lord, and must carry out his lord's every whim.' Stripetail looked down at the water, memories of his childhood running through his head.

"That not right at all! Children from what my daddy said is that children learn from fun! from exploring what around them! this sounds like a horrible nightmare" Cera said with some disguested of the idea of that happening even to her.

Petrie didn't like that either but he thought of something "We let he have second chance"

Cera looked at him "Your right with us doing all that tesing Stripetail got to feel like what it like to be a kid that suppose to have fun." She said

Nick22 · **Reply #171 on:** September 21, 2005, 10:34:46 AM

You're right it was a nightmare Cera. but there was nothing i Could do about it, nor could my parents. You see they were servants too. " Stripetail sighed. "Being a servant was at times tolerable, but only if thier lord was a decent caring creature who looked after thier servants and treated them with respect. unfortunately, the lord I served was a spoiled brat who couldn't care less about my welfare or that of any of his servants, he only thought of himself. I must say I loathed him, and I was not the only one who felt that way toward him. But the fact remans that there was almost no chance that I could anything other than serve him. You see, there were only two ways I could free myself of him. Be sold to another lord, or become one myself, and neither were likely. ' Stripetail said.

"sounds like things are not so cheery there... I won't like to live in your world at all" Cera replied

Nick22 · **Reply #173 on:** September 21, 2005, 10:54:59 AM

Remember through this was my childhood. When I was ten I was sent with my lord to be trained in magic. We spent ten years at the school, and I was able to become a lord and end my family's service of my former master. Indeed, by my last year, I was able to take over all the lands that had belonged to my former master. in our world, a lord was measured by the land he owned, the more land a lord owned the more respected he was. A landless lord, by contrast, was regarded with contempt and derison. My former master had owned most of the land in Aestorica, and I was able to take all of it from him. How I became a lord and the reasons why I was able to take his lads are for another time my yound friends." Stripetail said.

"I thought no land belong to anyone... it there all the time but we not... that what daddy said. no land can be owned... daddy saw that with Doc. even he hated him he couldn't or had no rights to stop anyone from living here... so no one can really own land we walk on... the stuff we eat from" Cera said with a strong point that couldn't be agured with. "But lets get off this boring stuff and have fun" She said changing the story and using her back feet kicked water at Stripetail's face.

Nick22 · **Reply #175 on:** September 21, 2005, 12:27:25 PM

Stripetail laughed as the cold water hit him. " I'm going to get you for that cera'

Threehorn · **Reply #176 on:** September 21, 2005, 12:44:29 PM

"Come on then!" Cera said splashing more water at him

Nick22 · **Reply #177 on:** September 21, 2005, 12:46:08 PM

STripetail lunged at Cera, but he missed and fell on his face, causing both Petrie and cera to laugh. "laugh while you can" He smirked.

Topys looked over at the water seeing Cera and Petrie playing with a small little Rainbow Face "Who the child Rainbow Face? I never seen that kid before" Topys said with wonder looking at Tria

Nick22 · **Reply #179 on:** September 21, 2005, 01:12:19 PM

Tria shrugged. "i''ve never seen him before either. Must be a rainbowface herd nearby"
