Part 4 - http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=21744#p21744

It looks like Glint and Sharp are in some trouble. What should Glint do? Just reply to this post with you response!

Option 1 - Stay, apologize, and explain that he's getting help for Sharp as soon as they leave in the morning. Hopefully they'll understand.
Option 2 - Stay, apologize, and let the Enkeyns decide how to deal with Sharp. Surely they'll be merciful, since she's just a filly? But then, she did hurt one of their young..
Option 3 - Run for it! Although the Enkeyns are large, Glint and Sharp might be able to hide somewhere.

Voting will be open for a few days!

Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Wind!

Option 2 -I think she should go with the rider. She seems to be a free spirit and would benefit from seeing the world instead of hermiting like a monk. Though I think the mystics would instill alot of knowledge and understanding in her, I also feel that she would rebel and leave causing her to go down an even worse path. Not only because she is a misery but because of how little attention and love she has seemed to receive.

I think finding help with the rider would be the most interesting and adventurous.

Oof. I'm really torn... but I think I'll cast my vote for Option 1 - To the Elder Mystics

I this option would help develop the dynamic between mystics and miseries, face the problem head on rather than running away. The little filly would probably be happier with option 2, but this seems the more responsible choice for Glint to make.

Ooh, a choose your own adventure! Any chance we'd get to hear a brief synopsis of what would have happened had we chosen the other option? *grins nostalgically, remembering all the stories she read backwards just to make sure she knew them all*

And I agree, that is a tough decision...I think I'd have to go with 'Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Wind' though. Not so much because I think it'd really be the better option, than because I've really wondered what happened to Rider. XP And the little Misery-Sakrien filly, for that matter! Thanks for sharing her story with us, and letting us play along in the process!

Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Wind

While the Mystics might be able to control her through numbers and experience, they may also have a very hard time getting through the twin revulsions of Misery and Sa'krien bound into one. Even if they can deal with her, she's likely to continue to pick up that distaste, which isn't likely to help with controlling her and helping her to adjust to normal Samanayr society. Rider on the other hand is something quite new to her and might just intrigue her enough to listen and learn. We don't know much about him yet, but he had a very different upbringing from most of the Kin that we've seen. He might not have the same feelings on her as others do and might be more willing and able to deal with her. He's a tough fellow and his bird should be quite able to defend him if Sharp does get completely out of control. The bird is big enough to simply pin her down without really hurting her as well.

Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Wind.

Both would make great choices, but I have to admit agreement with Ori on the Mystics XD Tho I would like to know what would have happened had she gone there! :O

Option 1 - To the Elder Mystics.

I admit Ori has quite a few good points, but I am just flat out intrigued to see what the Mystics would do with Sharp.

I think Option 2, to see Rider of the Sharp Wind, sounds exciting. Can't wait to see what happens.

Opition 2. She already feels cast out, I think personally, deep down, even if she's naturally like that, having your mother refuse to ever talk or care for you would be damaging to any foal in my opinion. The Mystics would probably be more pressure on her and make her feel even more of an outcast, while she may flourish under freedom.

As much as I WANT to see option number one personally, I'm thinking that Glint would probably choose Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Wind. In her best interests...

Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Wind.

I would definitely like to see Rider again, and I agree with the general consensus going around, that she would do better with the freedom Rider would be able to give her, and that the prejudice the Mystic elders are likely to have might not be the best for her.

I think it should be Option 2- Rider of the Sharp Wind. I can see why Glint considered the Elder Mystics but that just doesn't seem like something they or Sharp would appreciate. Why perpetuate the hate in the world? Perhaps Rider and give Sharp something more productive to use her energy on.

Option 2 - To see Rider of the Sharp Winds
I think Glint would take into account the Mystic's natural hate of Misery's and try to spare his daughter that. If his own mare and her half-sister can't tolerate her and he wants her to feel like she belongs putting her amoung other's who aren't going to accept her just doesn't seem like the right choice.

Thank you for your input! Looks like Option 2 has the vast majority of the vote, now I just need to figure out what will happen! I had a concrete plan for Option 1 but just a vague idea for #2 XD I did get the art for the next part done last night (if you were on the Ustream you got a peek) so hopefully the next part will be up soon!

I went on last night but I guess I was too late.. or too early ^_^;;; Oh well! I cant wait to see it! This is going to be good!

New vote's open!

Option 2 - Wait until morning, better safe than sorry.

I think Glint might take into consideration that Rider might not want to be disturbed so late as well. Since he is going to ask a rather large favor of the other sam, getting there at decent hour might be more welcome than showing up well after dark.

Option 1 - Leave now, Odel seems pretty confident and it's really not that far.



And oh goodness is Odel ever adorable!!! I want to squish the feather puppy!

Option 2 - Wait until morning, better safe than sorry.

And I have to agree with Echos that it's best not to disturb Rider so late if asking for help. It isn't so urgent that it can't wait until morning after all.

I'll have to choose Option 2 - Wait until morning, better safe than sorry.

There's confident and then there's youthful exuberance, and I have a feeling we're dealing with the latter. I would hate for something to happen to Glint or Sharp because a youngling overestimated his ability!
