Fire Runner

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....

Glory inclined her head respectfully at the Emperor before she turned to Unholy. "Forgive me for this intrusion," she said. "But I had a feeling about you the moment I saw you and just had to act on it. Would you be interested in becoming an apprentice of mine?"

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.

Scar placed the book down on the floor next to his bed and sighed. "Tomorrow I have one battle and I need to work at the front gates to the city...i'm going to be so busy." He muttered, blowing out the lantern next to his bed and laying down.

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.

Diamond chuckled slightly...then realized that Unholy was serious and she couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, Please forgive me. But you are most certainly NOT a curse upon this land my dear. One of my best friends is half pegasus half zebra. I think it is a rare gift rather than a curse...I think you look wonderful and you should wear your stripes with pride." She said, giving Unholy a warm smile...forgetting that she couldn't see it.

"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.

"If ?" Diamond asked, giving Unholy a questioning look...even though she couldn't see it. "I am sure you are a wonderful young mare, and if you were cursed...I would happily help you be rid of it...curses are no fun." She said, sipping her tea.

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.

@,

Scar trotted into his room and pulled a book from a small shelf by his bed.

I feel like Scar is lonely, and needs a griffin friend... so i decided to add a griffin character into the bunch... the funny thing is, she is more like me than my actual ponysona...

Fire Runner

"I don't think you're cursed...in fact you seem like quite a kind mare. Here's some tea for you sweetheart." She placed the tea in Unholy's hoof. "It's quite nice to meet you. I am Senator Light...or Senator Diamond...or just Diamond. I don't really mind." She said, smiling and sipping her tea.

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.

Alright, I think this is a good one for Autumn to be in.

okay, her link and description in my signature.

@, @,

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 said checkers...not chess. There was this pony who somehow got tied to a chair...he wanted me to play chess but he only put one of the funny small pieces in the corner of the board...and even I know that's not how you play chess. Where are we ? And who are you ?" She asked.

"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.

"Nonsense Gladius, if the senate doesn't like the idea than that's their problem, I would like to have a cup of tea with my friend and no pony is going to stop me." She looked down at the filly mare and only just realized she was blind. "Oh my...that is exactly why you need to come inside for some tea. Its the least I can do. Gladius, would you be a dear and help our friend here inside while I go put on the kettle ?" She asked, moving towards the door but waiting for an answer before walking in. Scar got bored of throwing the ball and got up. He yawned and stretched, then made his way out of his room towards the mess hall.

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.

Star slowly sat up. "I...I'm ok." She said, blinking a couple times then looking up at Autumn. "Lemme guess...you're gonna start talking nonsense and you're gonna ask me to play checkers or something...right ?" She asked, pushing herself to her hooves, a little confused as to why she felt so tired.

"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.

You can have Unholy be an Oracle too if you really want. You could either be some sort of apprentice of Glory (or Glory could be your apprentice I suppose) or you could be sort of like a rival or something.

oooooo! a rivalry! i like it! its like Twilight and Trixie!

but i think i'd be better off as an apprentice.

@@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's fine Gladius...she's just a filly. Why don't you come inside for a cup of tea." She said, holding out her hoof for Unholy to take. "I was thinking of making a pot of tea anyway so this gives me a good reason. Please, its my treat." She said, not noticing how the pony seemed to be shying away...or how she was blind.

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.

@,

 

Gladius heard the crash and immediately drew his sword.

 

"Stand back, ma'am, we can't be sure it's not some sort of threat."

 

 He trotted quickly over to where the crash had taken place. 

 

@,

 

"And just who might you be, exactly? More importantly, why are you on the palace grounds?

 

Gladius maintained a level tone this whole time. He didn't really suspect that it was any sort of threat, but he always made sure to do his job properly.

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.

I'll use Glory then; I like your explanation as her being a prophet and being somepony who the citizens rally round. ^^ I don't use her often enough in RPs. In ancient Rome, the vestal virgins were considered with much respect so it kinda fits her and her talent.

oh... shoot... i was going to ask if Unholy could be an Oracle... but you beat me to it

okay, have fun with that XD

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.

Encore blinked, and looked at Unholy as if just seeing her plainly for the first time. Her sudden confidence was both unexpected and astonishing. "Well, I suppose... That I could look into it," he mused as they boarded the carriage that indeed contained the spa. The only thing immediately visible was a heavy, highly polished wooden door halfway down the magnificent abstrace mural of a wall. Very well done, Encore thought. The door could easily just be part of the mural. It's just blended so well. He opened the door to the spa for Unholy, and a strong vanilla scent wafted from within. Wrinkling his nose slightly at the smell, Encore inclined his head. "This is it. After you."

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.

@,

"If you want... you can stay..." Unholy whispered, lowering her head again.

suddenly, Unholy got an idea.

"I bet they have a masseuse, you can relax and get a massage while i get. my mane fixed... then wee can go to the skate rink or something... i don't mind trying something new like skating or gambling at the casino..." Unholy added.

she figure that if she acted more fearless and more ike a seeing pony. she'd have a better chance with the stallions.

@,

"I would appreciate it if you did walk with me. and you can go ahead and go where ever after you lead me to the spa..." Unholy said.

He's probably wondering why I even care about how I look... But you know what? I'll do what I want to do... Unholy Sight thought to herself.

@,

You're lucky your pony has one racist thing to worry about...

Unholy is going to be suffering from racism and prejudice remarks about her disability...

yay me!
