@@00Pony,@@Miss Reaper, His ear twitched when he heard a strange noise emanate from Ariel, and couldn't help but look over. Her face was exasperated and full of awe, but not the good kind, more like the "I'm freaking out right now" kind. Saron turned to her, and said something that made Break stand up in shock; almost flipping the book he was reading. He froze, hearing a blaring truth go through the air as Saron finished talking to Ariel. His mouth was agape, but he was turned away from the ponies so they didn't see his face. The...the future?! What?! Wait...... Fractals of memory overlapped in Break's mind as he unraveled all that he has learned so far. The crystals made spires in his mind and connected beautifully to make a neat craft of thought and solution. Saron knew, the whole time. But him saying it now means Ariel DIDN'T know he knew, which means my feelings about him were completely justified. Break peered down at the Book that lay on the floor, it's page had flipped on accident when he dropped it from his magic. He picked up the book with his magic again, and looked at the page it stopped on, the page's title was "Weird Eye Syndrome: A.K.A Ice Eye". He skimmed it's contents, and made a very decisive conclusion on Ariel's state of mind. His hoof raised and met with his chin as he made a small gasp upon finishing. The book slowly floated back down to the ground. He shook his head a little bit; finding his senses returning. Break didn't want to break the news just yet, as he wanted to get a matter straightened out first, "Saron. What is your special talent again?" Break was still looking away, trying not to let them see his stoically darkened expression. His voice was very straight and had a particular weight to it. The room was on the peak of it's potential outbreak of emotion... He could feel the atmosphere darken before anypony could answer, he could feel their secrets and hidden thoughts pulsating under chains they made themselves: Even more than ever before.

@@00Pony,@@Miss Reaper, Break looked at the Princess for a moment, and motioned her to move towards the bookcase. "I'm looking for a book on Strange Illnesses and stuff..." He quickly glanced back at Ariel, but it was so quick that nopony could ever notice. He leaned in closely, trying to whisper, "Anything on weird eyes that make you act strange?" ((I guess we can all play as Twlily? lol)) "Well, yes. The book you're looking for is 'Brain Block Cases'." She floated out at brown hard cover book from the shelf above. Break immediately grabbed it and flipped through the pages with his magic, "Thank you! I'm just trying to figure something out..." Twilight started to walk away as she left Break to his own devices, she wanted to talk to the new pony anyway. ...Twilight, you're a character, I'll say that much. ...But anyway, let's look for weird blue eyes or something... The pages flew by under his magic. It should be under 'Permanent Afflictions' it seems... dBreak was finally getting to the bottom of ...SOMETHING it seemed, unless another gaping hole in the puzzle were to show up out of nowhere...

@@00Pony,@@Miss Reaper, Going out into the Sunlight, Break was greeted by the blinding radiance of the outside. "It's nice out today, isn't it?" He asked, rhetorically. He started for the library immediately, making sure his .."friends" were right behind him the entire time. Ponies passed by without much of a care, as they were out to do their own business. The Library was just in sight, down the dirt path. I....I feel like something bad is about to happen now. ...No, I can't stop now. I have to keep going, no matter how much it's going to hurt.

@@Miss Reaper, I'm gonna post! I've just...been....busy.... ....myehh. I'm sorry.

@@SleeplessSketch,@, Break sat for a moment, wondering about what his friends were doing. He was curious as to what they might do while he was gone. Considering that last time, Sketch had gone through a few changes and Tranq had spent some time with him too... It was new feelings that Break had not held dear until now, friendship. But right now, Break had to focus on staying calm around the Princesses, and not asking too many questions. It was then a guard came into the room, and spoke aloud, "My princesses, the final pony is ready for your meeting. He is waiting with the others at the entrance to the West Tower." At that moment, both Princesses got up, and so did Break. "Thank you, my faithful guard. You may return to your duties." Celestia relieved the guard as she passed by him, the guard nodded, and head back into the hallway to do whatever. ... Break walked alongside Twilight, as she followed Celestia down the shimmering hallway of stained glass, and found their way to the west tower with ease. It was quite a ways away from the dining rooms, but wasn't impossibly so. Up ahead, he could see some ponies looking back at the princesses, ignoring Break. Break looked down the aisle of ponies to see who was to be at this meeting with him. Only two ponies were familiar, and one of those two he dreaded seeing here. The two ponies in question were Special Delivery (A.K.A. Dream Delivery), and ...Prince Blueblood. What is HE doing here?! Is she serious!? ....Wait. Was he the one holding everypony up earlier? The Prince cocked an eyebrow at Break, and gave him a smirk, causing Break to grimmace for a split second, only to try and ignore him. Like he would try anything out in the open. He's not stupid. ...Well, actually, I wonder if Princess Celestia knows that she isn't going to have a niece-in-law. All of the ponies quickly entered the tower after Princess Celestia. A spiral staircase awaited the ponies. The stairs were reflective marble, and the soft pattering of all the pony's hooves on the floor echoed in the tower. Break was in front of all of the ponies, only because he had followed behind Twilight, instinctively. Unfortunately, Prince Blueblood had followed suit. Break couldn't help but look back, only to find that the Prince was giving him "the look". It was a signature look that most ponies have, and how it looks depends on what the pony is personality wise. ...Break rolled his eyes, and looked forward once more, and admired the craftponyship of the walls and stairs on their way up.

@@00Pony,@@Miss Reaper, The pony just shook his head as he started for the staircase. I didn't mean to give her that look... Break's lament was translated as an estranged expression upon his face. He looked over at the Crystal, whom had most certainly seen his look. Ah jeez... this isn't good. ...It doesn't help since I just went through a bit of an experience back in my room. The staircase got closer, as Break rubbed his mouth for a moment as if to make sure it didn't have any residue from his vomiting. Break stopped at the end of the staircase, and looked back at his pony friends. "Just making sure, the Library is where we are headed, correct?" He wanted to make absolutely sure. "I'm just....double checking." When he looked back, he could see a bunch of locks loom over their faces as they looked at him. Break shook his head again, and the illusion disappeared.

@@Miss Reaper,@@00Pony, I'm...I'm waiting for 00Pony to post! DX I dunno!! AAAH! lol...

@,@@SleeplessSketch, Break watched as Sketch rambled on about breakfast, walking away as he did. He didn't want to keep Sketch from his breakfast, so he didn't pursue the matter any further, although he was wondering why Sketch thought he and Luna were friends. Did he evesdrop or something? ...This is the first time I've ever met the princesses before, so it's a bit strange... I guess. Break thought to himself while he made his way down the hallway once more. I hope they got my message... I wouldn't want them to feel like I just ditched them. Break came to a stop when he noticed a door that was slightly ajar. He looked into the area out of curiosity, to find that it was another dining hall! Break's eyes widened when he saw a pony with a grand presence, a pony that was guarded by two guard ponies. She was shimmering in the glorious sunlight beaming through the window, and Break couldn't help but stumble in to get a better look. "Oh hello there, Break! How's breakfast?" Princess Twilight's voice aired when she saw Break come in with a plate of pancakes. "Still at it huh?" "H...Hello Princess Twilight and...P-..." Break was incredibly overwhelmed by the presence of Princess Celestia, he did not feel worthy at all. "Princess Celestia." He looked up at her, who by the way was sitting on a cushion that was raised ever so slightly. "Yes, Hello Break! I'm glad to see you are well after that adventure you had yesterday. Twilight told me about the lengths you went to get here." Break blushed a little bit, sitting at the table across from Twilight. "I'm very glad Princess Luna chose you for this meeting....which should be happening when I hear from the last attendee." Wait, Princess Luna picked me? Why? and...there will be other ponies there too? Break remembered his first dream about the meeting, and how there was mention of other ponies about to attend. "S-so..." Let's just do this one thing at a time while there IS time. "So.... Uh... Why did Princess Luna pick me anyway? I don't really pride myself as an important pony." "Yes, well, she picked you because of your steadfast talent for truth seeking... Right? She would often hear about you during the night here in Canterlot, although you did just move to Ponyville, am I correct?" The Princess thought for a moment. H-How did Luna know about my nightly escapades?! I was just... I was sure I was discreet enough. No pony has really found out I had been looking into things, except for a FEW. The princess smiled at Break. "I'll try not to hide anything from you. But please, if I do... I just want you to know I have a very good reason for doing so." She gave him a motherly smile, it felt as warm as the morning sun on a pony's face. Break looked up at her, and spoke again, "You're right........." Sometimes ponies have a very good reason for hiding the truth, which is...okay...but... I still wish to know! I feel like it would nag me to my grave if I didn't pursue it. "....So, why the meeting in the first place?" "Break, I told you already, you'll find out." Twilight chuckled. "..." Break didn't know what to say, so he just took another bite of his pancake as he waited with the princesses for this last pony to be ready... whoever it was.

@,@@SleeplessSketch, Break just lay there for what seemed like an eternity. He was unable to back to sleep, and was unable to move due to fear of his own imagination, so he just stared at the ceiling. The sun just barely cracked the horizon when he felt inclined to actually get up finally. He rubbed his eyes, and looked around his room from his cushy bed. The room was a somber purple color being changed into its true light lavender as the sun slowly rose in the sky. He slowly crawled out of bed, and put his hooves solidly on the ground, and went into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror, and stared at his reflection for a moment. Flashes of his dream last night went through his head quickly, causing him to shake it immediately. "...It was just a dream. C'mon Break." It didn't calm him down very much when he spoke aloud, but it made him more aware of him actually being awake than before. Making his way out of the bathroom after washing his face, he took it upon himself to go into the joint hallway. He smelled all kinds of breakfast being prepared for whomever else lived in the castle. Entering the dining room, he saw that plates were being filled with breakfast by the chef ponies of the castle. Break took a gander at the different kinds of food, and smiled as a server pony gestured for some pancakes. With his magic, he lifted up the pancakes, and started to eat them while he walked back out the dining room. "Thank you." Break said. "I'm just going to take some with me while I go attend to some matters, ok?" The server pony nodded. "Also, if they WANT to come to the meeting in the West Tower, make sure they ask somepony of a high rank." Break thought it to be the right thing to leave something to tell his friends where he went. He went to the guard's pony, a black stallion with a unicorn horn this time, and told him where he was going and who to tell. The guard nodded and gave a fervent "Sir!" when Break finished, which caught the pony by surprise. Nevertheless, Break headed out into the main hallway of the castle, and went towards the west tower. The sun started to shine through the stained glass, and sparkled as he passed by them. He turned a corner, and suddenly he bumped into a rather large pony. It was Princess Luna! Break stepped back a moment, as her presence was very awe inspiring. "P-P..Princess Luna. Hhello!" She smiled at him, and said, "Hello there Break. How are you this morning?" Luna looked at him and spoke with a gracefully regal voice. "Aren't you going to the meeting?" Break asked, albeit intimidated by her rank. She smiled, and said, "Oh I'll be asleep all day. I usually take Mondays off to catch up on my sleep cycle. Oh, and the meeting is after breakfast, but it appears you have some already!" She pointed at the pancakes floating in mid air, in his blue idle magic. Break blushed a little bit in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking..." He looked down modestly. She put a hoof under his chin to have him "chin-up". "You'll be fine, I know it. Don't worry about what might happen, the future rests with what happens now, so you shouldn't stress to much." She started to walk past Break to get to wherever she was going. She smiled as her mane obscured her face as she walked away. "...The sky isn't going to flash colors on you, don't worry. ...and nopony is sending you any ... letters, yet." She chuckled innocently. At that moment, Break saw a different light over Princess Luna. She knew...somehow, about the dream he had last night. W-what.... how does she...?! Break's sense of truth seeking started to resonate once more, but this time he chose to ignore the feeling. No... Not the Princess. I can't... "H-have a nice nap, Princess Luna!"

@@00Pony,@@Miss Reaper, Break looked over and saw that Saron had been leaving his apartment at the same time as him. How strange it was that they were leaving in sync. Saron nodded at him in a friendly gesture; Break nodded back. "....So we're off now, huh?" Break asked, rhetorically. He watched as Saron held the door for Ariel. Break's eyes pierced Ariel as she appeared down the hallway, but only for a split second. There was a touch of guilt in Break as he looked away and started for the staircase. I need to... ....I just need to stay calm. Can you do that for me, Break Shimmerald?

@, @@SleeplessSketch, Break quickly entered his bedroom, and flopped onto his bed for a good nights sleep. He needed it to be alert tomorrow, as it was the big day. Quickly he made sure his ticket was safely secured in his pocket, just before he got himself comfortable on the nice soft bed. For some reason or another, he subconsciously started to hug the extra puffy pillow next to his sleeping pillow. **** ((OOC: Yes this next thing is a dream, no need for confusion this time!)) Break looked around, and found himself in that same meeting room again, this time however, the princesses were missing, and it was just him and the glorious panes of glass that walled around the room. No light pushed through them, but rather the room was brighter than what was outside. He looked around and yelled out, "Hello?!" Nopony seemed to be there at the moment. Break looked down at the table, to find that there was a piece of paper. The paper's details were obscured by a large amount of blur and fog, but Break could make out a phrase at the bottom: "My love runs deeper than the rivers in the Appaloosan Mountains." This phrase was followed by an unreadable, but familiar signature at the bottom. "Why?" "Who is this for?" "Is it for me?" "Will someone tell me?" "WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?" "I want to know!" "Tell me why!" "I ReAlLy wANt tO KnOW rIGHt noW!!!" "PLEASE!!" "....Hel..p... m...e..." ... Break suddenly shot up in a cold sweat. He looked around frantically, and saw nopony in sight. The sky outside was a deep dark blue, and the moon was shining through the glass. How long had he'd been asleep? He took it to his burden of getting up and leaving his room. Making his way into the joint hallway, he crossed the archway into the main corridor of the castle. He looked down the hall to find a large pony figure sitting in the still darkness. The moon caused an overcast over this figure, so he couldn't quite make it out from his current angle. As he got closer, he could see that it was somepony familiar. This pony looked up at him, and produced a familiar looking piece of paper: although Break couldn't quite put his finger on why it looked so familiar. In any case, the pony spoke to him, "You know why I'm here... Remember? How you figured me out? I've never felt so alive when you did... I... I couldn't control myself...Tck..." The pony snickered a little bit. Break backed away from the pony as a demonic smile appeared on the pony's face; it's head turned into an impossible angle. The moon outside started to flare into shades of purple, red, and green as a laugh was heard. This laugh was very...VERY familiar to Break, but again he couldn't quite connect the dots. The darkness from the demonic smile started towards Break as he just sat there, gazing at the bewitching eyes that slowly appeared over the smile. For some reason, Break couldn't help but copy the smile back at the thing in the darkness... The laughter grew in volume as a cacophony of it started to engulf Break's ears, but he didn't mind, following a complete eclipse of his body by the darkness until there was nothing left. Nothing left, but a broken smile and a stream of tears fell from nothingness. ***** Break's eyes shot open, as he was still in bed. He stared at the ceiling of his room for a long time, as if to assert that he was indeed awake.... ((OOC: Time has passed, but I don't want to god mod the time passing, lol, do stuff while this all happened, yknow?))

@,@@SleeplessSketch, The pony just watched as Sketch left the dining hall, avoiding his questions. Break couldn't help but just stare down at his food while a grieving headache emerged in his noggin. He heard Tranq say something with a face full of food, which caused him to look up at her. He chuckled a little bit at the sight of her kooky attitude. Break smiled as he said, "Tranq, that's a good look on you..." He then backed up his statement, "..is it good?" He looked over at the dessert on the table. It was...dessert, of course. What else could it be? It looked pretty good to him. Maybe if I just relax for the moment, I'll be able to get over this craziness for just a moment. He took a bite of the chocolate cake he had swiftly put on his plate. For some reason, he had the urge to look over at the guard by the door, who was staring at Break for some reason. ".....Do you want some?" Break asked the guard. The guard seemed to tremble a little bit at the thought of sharing food with the honored guests. It would be against his protocol, it would seem. The guard responded, "My duty is to guard you all, not e-eat cake." He stuttered for a split second. "Oh pshh..." Break scoffed the guard, with a pompous tone. He flicked his fork full of cake forward a little bit matching his voice, "But, this cake is to DIE for. It's not a lie; it's just wonderfully delicious. Come on, try it." Break smiled at him. He took a few bites of the cake, and ate it as cleanly as possible. It was then Break stopped for a moment, and dropped his fork on the plate, What the...? He looked over at Tranq, who seemed to be eating desserts. The guards pony stood his ground however, and stated, "Sir, It is my DUTY to stay here and watch over this entrance while you are here." Break suddenly blurted out, "Come on, you stu---" He stopped himself, by punching himself in the face. "........I'm sorry. I must be really tired... I shall, um... take my leave now." The confused pony got up from his seat, and started for the door. ...Am I going to be ok?

@,@@SleeplessSketch, The moment in the dining hall was slowly becoming even more awkward, that even the guard's pony's small cough wasn't enough to break the ice. Break felt as though the atmosphere was hard to sink in, as they had just been through a lot that day, and it was quite a stressful few hours just then. Break looked over at Sketch, who seemed still not as chipper as he usually is. Which is odd, considering he wasn't Skotch...or shouldn't be. The pony's natural curiosity had been sparked once more as he took a look at Sketch with piercing eyes, albeit by accident. Sketch is acting a little funny, I wonder what's going on...? Break finally spoke after giving it a little thought, "So, Sketch, what's up? You've been a little quiet over this adventure so far." Of course, Break didn't want to cause distrust between one of his good friends. "...You can tell us anything you know. That's what friends are for, right?" He pulled out the friend card once more.

@,@@SleeplessSketch, As Break was about to open the door to the dining hall, the door opened by itself to reveal Tranquil with a very devious smile upon her face. Before he could even say anything, she yelled out something, "Honey! You should come back to bed!" Before slamming the door in Break's face. Not only was Break stunned, not only did he hear loud foot steps coming back to the connecting hallway, but he was also excessively confused. Break grimaced as he looked back to find the "hwhite" stallion standing under the arch, staring straight at Break. "...." ".....Keep walking." Break uttered loudly as he pointed away from the dining room door. The stallion turned back around, and gave off a smiling glare at Break as he left. I will destroy you, Terse Tranquil. I don't know how, but I will find a way. A song found its way into Break's head, and it caused Break to finish his thought with a final anecdote. Lock the doors, close the blinds, we're going for a ride. Break turned back around and attempted to act like nothing happened as he entered the dining room, which had a table full of food for the taking. A guards pony was standing at attention next to the door as he opened it. "Well that was refreshing." Break said, referring to the bath he just took before the shenanigans started up. "What's for dinner?" ((OOC: I'm...99% sure that meeting place you were referring to is the dining room. ...HOORAY.))

@,@@SleeplessSketch, After having some water on the way inside the castle, Break slowly regained his senses and was able to think clearly again. Although, to his astonishment, Princess Twilight was walking with them through the gallant hallways. He didn't know what to say to be honest. He hasn't had the chance to speak to royalty before, and it would be a first for him despite all the ponies he's investigated during his time in Canterlot. ... As Break was shown to his room, Twilight looked him over for a moment as she was about to leave him be. She said, "You summoned those wings yourself? I'm impressed. They're pretty good. When I first tried that spell, the wings came out all wonky and gross." Her statement reminded Break of Tranq's strangely sized wings. "The spell is a bit general. Actually, it reminds me of an ad I saw for Knick Kacks back at Ponyville." She chuckled to herself. "Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you at the meeting tomorrow." Break stopped the Princess from closing the door when he interjected, "W-wait! What is this meeting about anyway? And, why was I picked for this?" He didn't want to seem demanding but it just sort of came out that way. The princess just smiled and answered, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough." She finally closed the lavish door, kindly, in front of Break. ...Why do I get the feeling that Princess Celestia does that to her all the time? Break went over to his gallantly made bathroom, and proceeded to clean himself off in the marble bath tub. He was rather fond of the designs and liked how the walls and pillars were all so clean and well kept. He couldn't help but admire the nicely put designs all over the walls and floors. It just said "Royalty" to him. ... After finishing up in the bathroom, he saw to it that he should eat at the dining table. He placed his hat on his bed, and started for the door when he noticed something peculiar in the mirror next to his bed. It was his reflection that seemed off. Something about it seemed missing. ....His wings had disappeared! Break let out a small huff as he exited his bedroom, and into the hallway that connected the dining room to the rest of the castle. Strangely enough, the exit to the main hallway of the castle wasn't guarded by a door, it was just guarded by guards. It seemed strange because it didn't really make any sense, but of course Break couldn't stay hung up on such an insignificant little detail for long. As he passed by the guarded open arch, a stallion was passing by as well. His gaze met Break's and it stayed locked on him long enough to cause a disruption in Break's calm disposition. The stallion spoke to Break when they both stopped on opposite ends of the white limestone arch. "Oh, if it isn't Break Shimmerald." ...!? That voice! It can't be!? Break walked closer to the darker main hallway to get a better look. ...Buck! BUCK BUCK BUCK, APPLE BUCKING....BUCK! One of Break's "Regretfully Investigated Ponies" had shown himself to him after the longest while. "...Prince Blueblood. Can I help you?" Any other words would have caused Break to run away. Break looked off to the side with a regretful look on his face. And by HELP I mean HELP ME get AWAY from THIS stallion. An entitled air was all over this particular pony's expression, "I didn't imagine I would ever see YOU here of all places." A small amount darkness seemed to eminate from this stallion for a moment, "I find it very pleasing to see you've become a higher rank..." Break looked over at the guard pony standing just a few feet away, he seemed a little unnerved by Blueblood's choice of words. As he should be, because the stallion actually said something not negative towards a pony "lower" than him. "You know I just---" The other stallion leaned in slightly closer closer, cutting off Break's statement. "Oh I know. And I know you---" Break instinctively pushed the larger stallion away from him. ...Not in front of these guards, you don't! Just...go away. The guards were a little surprised at the small amount of physical contact. They looked at Break with a slight amount of concern. "I've no time to deal with you at the moment, BB. Can't we talk about this later?" Break insisted. A dark expression fell upon the Prince's face, an expression only noticed by Break and Break alone, "That's fine, Break. Fine fine fine." With that, the stallion went on his 'merry' way. Break sighed with a small amount of relief. He looked at one of the guard's ponies and said, "I don't know how you deal with him." He walked back into the dining hallway, and entered the dining room proper as the guards ponies exchanged slightly confused looks.

@@00Pony, okie dokie lokie~ Hehehe.

@, @@SleeplessSketch, ((OOC: I'm pretty sure the wings will disappear in a little bit as the night continues... Don't worry you guys, I got this! ;D )) The pony could hardly express his exasperation towards his friends as they started to complain and falter as the sun started to fully set. "Wait! Just hang on one moment. I'm just checking to see if it's even still going, although it's probably over by this point however." Break told his friends as they neared the entrance of the tower, "Just... wait one moment, for me?" Break quickly trotted up to one of the guards in front of the door, and stopped just in front of one. The guard peered down at Break with a steadfast and stoic expression. Intimidating, but not frightening. "...Yes?" Break pulled out his pass to the meeting, "Yes, um... Is the meeting still happening?" Break wasn't feeling too good, now that he could breathe for a moment. The guard looked a little confused, and then motioned for Break to wait a moment. Of course, Break did as he was told as the guard went inside the Tower. ... Minutes passed, and the guard came back out, grumbling about somepony not telling him something, "....No, the meeting hasn't even happened yet. It's tomorrow, sir." A piece of glass shattered in Break's mind, and his face was smashed with an expression of confused excitement coupled with a deranged frown/smile, "It's......" Break sat down with a thud on the ground, "......T-...T-...CK..." With that, Break fell to the ground with a loud thud. "S-Sir? Are you ok?!" The guard was surprisingly legitimately worried. Break's eyes seemed to cloud as somepony stepped out from the West tower's door. This particular pony seemed very modest, but regal at the same time. She had the understanding of what others feel, and the compassion to support all those she meets and befriends. It could be none other than... Twilight Sparkle herself. ((OOC: Ok, leaving time for you to react/act out TS if you want. lol... I don't want to accidentally G-mod or something.))

@,@@SleeplessSketch, "Oh, um... hmm. Let's all just go head to the castle's west tower, and we can figure something out on the way. I'd like to know what the situation is with the Meeting, unless you want to split up here? ..." Break was excessively apprehensive about splitting up due to the nature of most of the snooty rich ponies around canterlot. He feared for his friends as they would surely be made fun of for being not well coshered. "Hmm, well, the west tower is the closest part of the castle anyway, let's go in before they close the gates on us." Break ran ahead to the Canterlot entrance, and passed through the open gates without any problems. I really don't want them to split away from me. ...I know these ponies that live here, and a lot of them have really dark secrets. I understand why they act the way they do, and I know a lot of them because of my rampant curiosity. But my friends... they're completely knew to all of them, and I have no way of stopping their judgmental eyes. The west tower was just a stone's throw away from the entrance it seemed.

@,@@SleeplessSketch, Break looked over at Sketch, who was keeping silent for the both of them. "Sketch! I'm glad you've found us! I was worried you got lost..." Break tried to smile at Sketch, but it didn't feel genuine for some reason. Possibly because he doesn't smile a lot. Break looked up towards the direction of Canterlot, and could see a few golden peaks of the castle poking over the tree line in the distance. They weren't far off from the place, and not a moment too soon as the sun appeared to start to set over the sky. "Hah, well, let's go then." He said as he started for Canterlot once more, this time on hoof. ((OOC: c'mon, vamanos, everybody let's go!))

@,@@SleeplessSketch, Break watched as Tranq tried to undo her being stuck to a tree because of her artificial wing. He wasn't quite sure what to do, but attempted to break through the branch that snagged her. "...I don't think I should've taken you all along." Break said, pulling at the branch. "We're in a lot of danger now because of my stupidity and wants." Being sentimental for the moment, Break was doing what he did best: the truth. "Honestly, I can't believe trying to fly to canterlot was a good idea. I just... I just wanted so desperately to be somepony important. That letter really made me feel like I was somepony interesting." Ironically, Break laughed to himself about the whole thing. It seemed rediculous just thinking about it. Break did a quick hind kick at the tree, and it finally let her loose. "See? There! ..... Let's just walk the rest of the way, ok?"

@,@@SleeplessSketch, "Agh!!" Break smacked right into Tranq, tumbling over her as he did. Slowly he recovered on the ground next to her, and shook his head around a little to get his bearings back. He looked over at her, and realized it was indeed Tranquil. "Tranq! ...is anything broken?" He wasn't quite sure what to say. She doesn't look hurt too much... but I'm just happy that she doesn't need any medical attention it seems. ... Break paused for a moment. I'm surprised Sketch isn't here with her, actually.

@,@@SleeplessSketch, Break went into the trees and started flying around low to the ground in search of his friend, but he couldn't see very well in the thick bush. Perhaps he was going too fast? He called out, "Tranq? TRAAANQ?!" He wasn't thinking about anything else except for the safety of his friend, and it was probably a little bit too desperate for his taste. He slowed down, and swiftly went around the trees, and started to scan while getting closer to Canterlot. His reasoning was that Tranq would most certainly think he was heading there right now, right? His search abruptly ended when he bumped into somepony...

@,@@SleeplessSketch, (OOC: Troblem's last post. Sweetie Belle: ...AWW C'MOOON!!) Canterlot was in sight for Break, and he couldn't have been more happy. He was going to make it on time, and with quite some time to spare. It was perfect, he couldn't have asked for better timing. He'll even have friends to talk to after it's all said and done. Friends... Wait, friends?! Break suddenly felt this urge to look back just as he started to see Ponies walking around the Canterlot streets. He looked back ,to find Tranq had fallen out of the sky, and hit somewhere close by to the entrance to Canterlot. Possibly even about a ten minute gallop, through the wooded area that led to the bridge in front of Canterlot. "T-Tranquil?" Break became legitimately worried as he didn't see her reappear. It caused him to stop in mid-air and make a slow descent to where she fell. I'm... I'm not about to lose a friend. Not again. Break wasn't sure of himself at that moment, but was still determined to seek out Tranq's well being.

@@Miss Reaper, Why do I have the feeling Break is going to get this close to stopping Ariel from breaking down, but then Galetea and Nano show up and it's just like "WELP." I can't wait for this stuff to go crazy. Oh my goodness. But then... what happens after that? Do Break and Saron figure things out and work together? Do we all separate for a bit? Will Saron learn stuff about the future? Will Break learn about the truth? FIND OUT NEXT TIME. Edit: I have to wonder, did I overdo my last post? .__.'''
