Aurora Lights

Auran Smiled slightly at the notion of making her happy and taking stress away from his friend. He nodded to her and replied, "Anything to help a friend in need." He walks over and takes a blank schedule, takes a pen and starts to write down a couple of well thought out and planned schedules for his friend. He made sure the lunch times were perfectly fitted to each of the Guard's known preferances and made even more careful planning on where they should be positioned throughout their patrol. He then looked at the sheet and said to Rose, "Well, Cap. I believe if you're 90% at work, then everything else will also get your 90%. Friends, Family, Relationships. Letting ponies, and things that matter not have your best. Well, it kinda makes life a lot harder. So, if you need some time away to get well and continue to give your 100, then you won't hear any objections from me." He smiles at her kindly as he hands her the now complete schedule for the Patrol. Longwing nodded to his statement, "Well, you know that's true. Somnus is a softie for Ruby. Ah, all stallions have their weaknesses. Besides me. I'm Auran Longwing,'Champion of The Sky' So. Yeah." He let out a slight gruff of laughter at the end.

Longwing had saluted back to his Captain and he made the faintest inkling of a smile across his face as he saw the mare's respect for others hadn't been taken away by her ranking. He was really quite fond of Rose, actually sought to make her proud. He wished to be captain one day, maybe later on down the line of command. He was a General Officer, meaning he did hold fairly high ranks but still able to be deployed in combat. He regarded Rose as more of a friend than just a co-worker or partner in arms, thus he made it a duty to make sure she was treated fairly by any other staff member below him. He replied with a slight tinge of playfullness in his voice,"Oh, Captain Rose, You never cease to make my day strides better. But, yes Ma'am that will be quite fine. I've got issues that need attending before I leave my post anyhow. If you need some assistance making the Schedule for the recruits, I can help. I did it when you were off on a leave of absence a few months ago. I am a General Officer after all, besides you seem like you need some rest. You and Arrow here look like you've been drained." He looked at Arrow with a raised eyebrow," You know, Arrow. I would sometimes like to get a snack out of there but, uh. I kinda can't. Either it's broken or always, Always out of snacks." He tried his best not to let a smile crack upon his lips, or let his stone-like manner be broken by this obviously bad attempt at a good joke.

Longwing sighed as he looked at the time and saw it was time for lunch. He sighed softly as a Guard took his place and he started towards the nearest eating establishment, but he remembered he hadn't had his schedule updated for next week, so he then rerouted and went towards the Captain's areas. He opened the door to Rose's area and he saw Arrow and Rose. He raised an eye as he looked at at the two,saying in a deep, and strong voice,"Good Afternoon. Ma'am I haven't recieved my new Schedule. I was just curious about if I was stationed at the same post or not. I've made a request to transfer to Luna's Palace if you don't remember. I was hoping to have that filled out before next week." He walked a litle closer, Polearm now having a sheath on the tip and it was placed on his back in a safe manner. He waited for a response paitently as he looked at the dog that had been in the room and he blinked slightly detached from the emotional aspect of having any type of companion.

Auran stood at the base of Celestia's Throne, spear held tight as he stared into nothingness, his emotions blank and his face stone like. He took a deep breath as his mind started to wander, wondering what to do after his shift. He may go and train some more at the Training Camp, or he might get a bite to eat and head to the park to do his daily running and sprinting, or maybe even fly some laps around Canterlot. He kept his stone like face as his eyes slowly scanned the room, making sure none of the occupants in the Castle Hall were being mischevious or disrespecting any of the Royal Property. He started contemplating about his after work life, noting he really didn't have many, if any, friends. Yet this never bothered Auran. He always liked being more alone than anything, considering his childhood and young adulthood. He closed his eyes for a moment as the pain of remembering his mother set in. Auran quickly snapped back into his stone-like appearance to stave off the depression that seemed to well inside of him. Work was more important than memories, and right now he didn't have time to think about the past.

Murdok sighed at the mare's comment to his attitude, and shook his head, "Not much to be happy about these days, I mean, one wrong move and your Necro food. I would highly reccomend you to stay with us, mare. The world outside is too dangerous to go it alone, the Necros are changing. Evolving. Just outside we killed a huge necro with clubs for fists. Survival is not something someone can do alone anymore. the first 3 years, yeah, I would say go ahead and leave, but now, everything is different. Not only do you fight the Necros, but survivors as well. People and ponies are- for lack of a better word- completely bucking insane. I won't stop you from leaving, I'm just saying it would be in your best interest to stay with us." They hear a gunshot and something falling, Murdok growls before he hears a Necro scream in the building, it's terrible shriek echoing through the halls, he looks at the mare as he stands to leave, " Your choice. Live, or die alone." he turns to walk out of the room as she gathers her supplies.

Murdok looked at the mare unicorn talking to him, and he said with a blank emotionless tone," Can't turn what's already dead." He then looked at his dangling hand and tilted his head to the right a slight but as it's tendons and ligaments slowly lend themselves together, rather disturbing to look at really. He then stood and looked at the guns she had beside her and narrowed his pupils, " Reach for a weapon and the Necro is the last thing you will need to worry about. Contrary to my unicorn friend here, I have no intention of hurting you, but prove your a threat and that'll be the last thing you do." He looks to the door , wondering were the Pegasus went.

Murdok follows Silver with dead silence, following his lead into the police station. Now that the rain was no longer assaulting his senses, he could clearly smell and feel another pony in the building. He narrows his eyes and continues ahead of Silver and follows the strengthening scent, feeling the life form get close. He opened the last door in between him and the pony and stared at the pony, cocking his head to the left slightly before a crawler Necro burst through the ceiling vent and headed strait for the unicorn, but thanks to Murdok's quick reaction speed, he tackled the mare and he himself was bitten on the shoulder, the thing wrapping it's tail-like spinal cord around his neck. Murdok roared angrily and in pain as he grabbed the beast by the head and it bit his wrist frantically, causing Murdok to once more shriek in pain, but this time he slams the monster's head on thee floor with such force it's head explodes into fragments of bone and brain matter, blood once again covering his face and torso. The floor under his now empty hand being cracked and imploded slightly by the force of his crushing maneuver. He looks at the mare and pops his shoulder back in place, his wounds healing quickly as he feels the venomous bite of the Necro course through his neck and arm. He sighed hard and looked back at Silver, "You can come in now." He says in the blankest voice possible.

Murdok sighed and looked at the ground, "I've had enough of this threatning me. If one of you says something threatning to me again, I won't hold my mercy clause any longer. I'm not a monster. I'm not a freak. And I did not want to be this. So lets just keep this little scene to ourselves. Besides, if you do tell anyone...Well, You know the rest." He then looks at Silver and said, "Thought you wanted your gear from the Police Station. One mountain at a time, Boy." He looks to the mare and blinks blankly at her before walking oast her and started heading towards the Police Station, not even making an attempt to clean himself of the blood that drenched his body. After a few minutes, the sky started to darken with thick black clouds, Murdok sighing heavily as the rain starts to pour down in an instant, like it came out of nowhere, but obviously this storm had been brewing for a couple days now. Seemed like the Sun, and Cloudsdale was engulphed in the black clouds. Thunder cracked loudly through the sky, lightning being seen in the distance. Murdok hated the rain, it could muddle up his sense of smell, and hinder his life form sensory. So, it seemed they were blind going into the station. Murdok looked at the boarded up windows and doors, shaking his head slightly before looking to Silver and saying, "Not getting in through here, unless you want the whole town to hear us breaking in. We're going to have to find a way in through the back, or do you know any other entrances?" He looks around warrily, the rain soon cleaning him of most of the nearly dried blood, but his hair was still a little stained with the red liquid.

Murdok stops moving in place and he closes his eyes for a second, saying in a calm voice, " I'm a Necrohemrophage. Or just a Necrophage for short. I am the only one of my kind, as far as I know. My name is Murdok Parrish, platoon leader in the EDF, or was anyway. Now, please remove that blade from my neck before I remove it for you." he looks over his shoulder at the mare, contemplating on doing one of the more disturbing things he can do with his body.

Murdok started walking with the two ponies, feeling the sun starting to break through the clouds, he looks up in the direction of the city and he puts his arms in front of the ponies to make them stop, and he says," Before we go into that town, I need you to see something." he points at Cloudsdale, it seems to have been ravenged, just like everything else in this world, but something seemed a little different about it today it seemed like there was life up there. There were few pegasi flying around, along with what looked to be transport ships to take people and ponies up there, "We should try to make it there, seems like they may need help. Might even be making a new faction, or Safe Zone. Maybe they can help me find the person I'm looking for." he says and continues on, momentarily contemplating about revealing his abilities, but the time isn't oppertune just yet. They made their way into the town and imediately saw the destruction of the buildings, the advancement of the vegitation of the Everfree Forest, and the skeletons and corpses lining the streets. Carts causing some areas to be blocked on the road. Boards covering some windows and doors,markings saying things like 'HELP US, WE ARE ALL DEAD, and STAY AWAY!" As they walk through the streets, Murdok hears something break some glass in an alley way and he turns his head in that direction. He narrows his eye slits and sees through the darkness, seeing a large, menacing Necro feasting on a dead mare, which seemed like the one he had saved earlier. He sighed,almost as if he had felt bad, but he said, "We need to keep quiet around here. I feel like Necros are prevelent here." he looks forward and just as soon as he does, he steps on a glass bottle, it breaking and making a loud clatter and shattering sound. The large Necro turns it's attention to the three and roars, bounding out of the alleyway quickly. Murdok blinks and shoves both ponies out of the way, as soon as he does this, the large Necro swing's its club-like fist, tossing Murdok back a good ways. He hits a caravan and falls to the ground, looking almost dead before he growls and starts to stand up, the Necro looking somewhat confused, it charges once more, letting out a roar. Murdok growls evily, his right arm breaking to form a large blade like appendage, the Necro charges head first and Murdok starts running towards the Necro. He slams his blade into the ground, causing him to vault into the air as the Necro stops charging and looks up at him. He was about 7 feet in the air before he lets out a roar of his own, slamming the blade down on top of the huge Necro, slicing the beast right down the middle, blood erupting from the monster to shower and soak Murdok in thick, red blood. He's crouched in the middle of the two halves, his blade sunken into the hard pavement, he reforms it back into his arm. He slowly stands and looks at Silver, then to Rose," This thing is not like the others I've encountered. The virus must have mutated again." he sighs and continues walking as if he had just stepped on a pebble in the road.

Murdok nodded to the unicorn and looked at the tent the pegasus was in and he closed his eyes for a moment, focusing his energy into the ground to send out sort of a "ping" that allowed him to sense all life in about 1 mile, though most of the land is now barren of life, it helps him pinpoint threats, lets him plan out his attack. He senses a small life signature very far from them in a nearby town, he sighed softly and stood from the fire, looking at the direction of the town. He then looked at Silver and said, We should go into the town soon. I don't like waiting in the open like this. especially with a fire. Besides, you needed your weapon and stuff right?" He opens the pegasus' tent and says, " We are leaving. You can stay if you want, but I don't know if we are coming back. I'd suggest staying out of the cities." He then prepares to leave, snuffing out his cigar and tying his laces once more.
