Painted Star

"If you really think you can handle this without a weapon, I can not stop you from going unarmed..." Kane said with a defeated expression, then looked at Samurai Equine: "And about enchanted or cursed weapons, there is one sort of... special katana I have. I was told that it was made by the spirits, and was given to my great grandfather for a good deed. It does not have active magical powers, but it most certainly an excellent sword. I am willing to give it to you, but I beg you, take good care of it. It's family heirloom after all... Now, the rest of you, do you need a weapon?"

Aw, your art is super cute. ^^ I love the faces you draw. And your colouring. And the proportion you use. And basically everything else about your drawings as well. Now I shall go,and follow you on dA. :3

Thank you! I also like my shading, for this one time.

@Stardust Balance, JonasDarkmane Thank you both! I am truly glad you like my art.

I drew Twilight Sparkle!

Thank you guys so much! I am happy you like my art.

I finally drew my second newest (that means almost a year old) OC! And I have a new style once again... It is so sparkly...

"Uh, a picture...?" Kane said, with a confused look. "I do have one painting of her, I could give it to you..." With a motion of his hoof, he sent his servant to get the picture. "I understand, you need to know what she looks like to find her, but are you sure you don't need an actual weapon?" he continued, with some worry mixing up in his puzzled expression.

"It would be terrible to even think Kare would, uh, have an interest in my daughter, but it is very much possible. I think I can see how that could be an advantage, but it would also be one more reason for you all to hurry up." Kane said, looking really worried. "Now I have a question. What weapon is each of you best with? I'll ask a servant to get it for you."

"The enemy, unfortunately, is strong. Kare has some amazing masters at his service, I don't think you can defeat them in a face-to-face combat, but you may be able to trick them. About the reward, I don't know what is important for whom, but I was thinking about a good deal of money, at least thousand gold coins for each pony taking part in the search. And of course, I will treat you all to a rich dinner here, at my home." He said, shuffling some papers on a desk. He was looking for the maps of the surrounding area. "Oh, and you may keep the weapons you take for the search, or ask for almost anything else as well." He added quickly, hoping the reward sounded reasonable to the ponies. Hearing the word dinner, it was decided for Onaka. She needed food, and not only was the money a small amount, she could finally have a good meal, something other than rice.

Onaka trailed behind the small group in silence. She really didn't want to risk anything, but she was hungry, and she did search for jobs here before, not finding anything. She sighed, as she continued walking, until the rich stallion reached his home. Kane opened the front door to her home, and invited the ponies inside. "Please, follow me." He said, as he led them across his countless corridors to the guest room.
