Fire Runner

"Don't get me started on reputation.... the last city i was in, i was in the cafeteria and this pony looked at me funny. it might seem ridiculous now, but i was furious. so i did what any reasonable griffin would do, i walked over to that pony and smashed his face into hit plate of food. I didn't find out until later, but i broke the pony's nose. then they sent me here. I guess my temper got the best of me in that situation." She said with a slight chuckle. (OCC: gtg, school)

"All I remember is being brought her by some strange music box... it was playing such a beautiful tune... I couldn't resist opening it..." Autumn trailed off, her gaze fixed upon the wall, yet it seemed as though she was looking at something else more fascinating than a blank wall.

Fire Runner unfolded her wings a bit in a stretch and quickly brought them back in. "I completely agree with what you are saying. It's funny.... Everyone warned me that you're something to fear,but you seem pretty normal to me." Fire Runner mused. Unholy bowed; "it would be an honor to live in the temple." Unholy said, then she stood up straight.

"Actually, yes, i am a gladiator. I may be small, but i back a punch." she said with a slight chuckle, taking the glass of water. "I use my small size to an advantage though... im half Lynx instead of half lion, so i'm much smaller than typical griffins... or ponies in that matter. i guess i just know how to manuver around them well or something like that." Fire Runner added with a satisfied smirk.

"well i'll be a pony's uncle! not THE White Scar! Ive heard so much about you! it's an honor." Fire said with a bow. She took a seat in the chair. "I've always wanted to meet you, you are such a great warrior. I've heard so many storied of your great feats in war." Fire added.

@, The tiny griffin pushed open the door and steeping into the room. "I heard you mutter something about being busy tomorrow and i was a bit curious." she muttered. "I'm a little new here, my name's Fire Runner, what's yours? she asked, taking another step into the room.

Unholy sat in her room, awake, face looking up at the ceiling. she sighed and turned over to her side, resting her face in her pillow, she was rather upset about how Encore ignored her earlier just because of some pretty pony... she didn't deserve anypony... she felt completely crummy....

Unholy was a little shocked by this comment but she quickly made her decision. "Y-yes, i'd be honored to be the apprentice of such a great pony as the oracle. Fire Runner finished eating and got up. she began walking down the hallway and heard someone muttering to themselves. she wasn't sure what to do, so she knocked on the door.

@, @, @@rolle, @@Pripyat Pony, Unholy shifted back and forth in her chair as she heard more ponies come into the room. "w-well... it looks like we have a party now..." she mused, her awkward half smile forming on her face. Fire Runner gracefully landed in the cafeteria. she quickly grabbed some food and sat down by herself. she slumped over a bit to relieve her back from pain, an injury in which she got in the war against the Changelings.

"n-not a c-curse?" Unholy was slightly shocked. "then why have ponies been spitting at me? bumping me? and knocking me over in the streets?" Unholy asked, a little upset. She took another sip of her tea, attempting to calm herself down. Unholy set the cup down on the table and sighed.

She had the feeling that she'd be alright with showing Diamond. Unholy unlaces a bracer and threw it to the floor, exposing the stripes on her legs. "I'm half pony,half zebra... I am a curse upon this land and I can't do anything to change it..." She muttered, grabbing the bracer and lacing it back around her leg.

Unholy felt around the table until she found the cup of tea. she shakily raised the cup to her lips and took a sip of the tea. "I don't know about that... most ponies wouldn't say that if..." Unholy cut off, she realized that she probably shouldn't say anything next to the royal guard pony.

@, @, Unholy sat down and sighed. she didn't have the slightest idea of table manners, so she leaned against the table with her hooves resting on it. She let out another sigh and slumped over some more at the table. (occ: i changed her looks a bit, so bare with me...) Unholy adjusted the bandaged that covered her eyes so they'd fit more snugly. She shook her head and sat up straight again. "They call me Unholy Sight... they say im cursed..." she muttered in reply.

Unholy trotted out of the spa and to her room, she felt more courageous now that she had a new look. She was still frightened of passing between carts, but nopony was there to help her.she slowly put one hoof infront of the other until she made it across and back to her room.

"I really have no idea where we are, or why we're here... but I do know my name... I'm Autumn Dream, most ponies call me Autumn." she said, flicking her tail back and forth. "and what might your name be?" Autumn asked, wanting to know the answers to the questions Star had just asked her.

Unholy realized the pony wasn't about to give up so Unholy let out a sigh. She quickly tightened her bracers so they wouldn't accidentally fall off while she was walking. "Okay fine. you win. I'll go with you for a spot of tea, but thats it." Unholy muttered.

"uh... no... I suck at chess... but if its the only thing we have here to do... maybe its not that bad of an idea..." Autumn said, pondering what she just said. What the hay Autumn?! why would you even suggest something as crazy as playing a game that you completely fail at?! Autumn thought.

@, @, "but... i'm not allowed in the palace... I'm a beggar, a nopony! ponies mock me, spit at me, shove me over... i do not think i should even set hoof in the palace for the palace would surly become unclean and unholy..." She explained, hopeful that she might be able to leave without many problems.

@@Cocodrillo, @, Autumn rushed to the new pony and quickly dove down to make sure she was okay. Autumn sat next to the strange pony and sighed. "the first pony I've seen in a while... and she is knocked out cold... its just my luck in this situation..." she muttered to herself, double checking to see if the pony was okay.

she glared over at thee other pony. "I am not a filly!" she snapped, rather angry. "I'm eighteen, and actually... i would love a spot of tea... it's been a long time since i've had tea... a very long time..." Unholy said, cooling down a bit from the comment, she quickly shook it off.

Unholy turned her head to face the other pony, showing him her sightless eyes. "i-i didn't mean to... I've never been to this part of the city before, i have no idea where i am or how i got here... it just seems stragne to me that i happened upon the palace grounds..." Unholy mumbled, half to herself.

@, Unholy got up and continued backing away, making sure her hair was covering her face and her bracers were tied tightly. "n-no... i-i'm fine..." Unholy muttered, lowering her head in shame, she was just waiting for the mocking and insults to start... they always did.

A small teal colored blind pony wandered through the streets of Rome, she had bracers tied tightly to her legs hiding a very shocking secret, she was half zebra. She shrugged as other ponies rudely ran into her and knocked her off balanced. she shrugged it off and continued walking. "this city... its just a pain in my rear..." she muttered, kicking up some dust. She stopped when she hear the voices of other ponies, she somehow managed to wander onto the palace's grounds. Oh Dear... Unholy thought, backing up. as she backed up she smashed into a pile of helmets and created quite a ruckus.

Unnholy trotted into the spa and waited for a pony. Lotus Blossom and Aloe trotted up to them in synch. They leaded Unholy to a bath. "you look like a mess." said Lotus. "we'll clean you right up and make your coat and mane shine." Aloe added. The twins poured a bucket of warm water over Unholy's head... the stripes on her back and face... they were washing off... "i-is this paint?" Aloe asked, scrubbing off the stripes on Unholy's face. Unholy began to blush." uhhh... yeah... Zecora told me that I wasn't enough zebra to stay with her, so she painted the stripes on my face and back, and she styled my mane..." Unholy stammered. The twins finished scrubbing the paint off and washing Unholy's hair. "So you only have stripes on you legs? how peculiar... i've never seen anything like it before. i guess it's something very special." Lotus said. Unholy was led to a chair. "now wait there sweetie, we're going to go get the hairstylist, we'll be back." Lotus and Aloe chimed together before trotting off.
