Stardust*

Destiny by far in my opinion.

I have the perfect story line too! AH! lol. I can see it all playing out in my head!

It would be interesting for Lilith to stay back, having that conflict of which one she must stay loyal to. She would know how to hide from the armies to keep Trivy safe, or if she decides to turn on Trivy it would be easy. such internal conflict!! I think it would be a great way for some action to happen and to help Lilith truly pick which side she is on. mayyyybe?

@@Pucksterv, @ "Sorry about that. Took a bit longer than anticipated. In hindsight we prolly should've teleported together," "Uh yeah... I can't do that... I mean I'm not that good with magic... should have warned you about it, sorry." Trivy said, running her hoof down her neck, slightly embarrassed. "Anyway, lets get going, we don't have much time left." "You need to be more confident Trivy." Stardust landed with a pretty loud thud, shaking the ground and after climbing out of a small depression that she had left began to address the group. "We have to get to the docks now! There isn't a lot of time. I can carry a pony if I have to, but I won't be able to take you all one at a time. There are too many of you to do that. Trivy, I know that you think you aren't capable of teleporting more than just yourself but I believe you can." She moved closer to Trivy, she gave her a small smile. "We were given our magic back by the 'Generous One' I don't know if you know what that means exactly. I just flew faster than I have ever flown before, even before my magic was taken from me. I knew that something was different when I was reunited with my magic. Now it all makes sense, the reason why Rarity was so incredibly weak after she was done. She not only gave us our magic back, but she gave us each a part of hers. I flew faster here because I had to get to Aria, I didn't care what happened to me, I had to know that Aria was okay and that I could get to her in time. I had that thought in my mind and I got here in just seconds. I know that was not just my magic, I know that was part of Rarity." She pointed to Trivy's horn, "And you have part of Rarity's magic too, we all do. I know that you are scared, but you can do it, you have to put that fear behind you. You can't let it rule over you. Sombra's armies are approaching, they are only minutes away from the city. Don't let what Rarity sacrificed be in vain! Look at all of these ponies, if we don't get them to the docks NOW, they will be lost, we will be lost, and all of Equestria will be lost! You CAN do this Trivy! Now warm up that horn and get yourself and your group to that ship! I will take Aria and we will meet you there!" She took a couple steps back hoping that her message set in and she would be ready to save her family. Stardust might have been alone for years, but she knew she had family, and she was willing to do anything for them. She looked to Aria with a warm smile. "What are you waiting for? Grab your guitar! I am not going to be on that boat for who knows how long without some music!" She gave her a quick wink as she zipped past her into the hideout to grab her telescope and her saddle bag, she took the key from her neck and got the map from her locked desk. She quickly made sure that she had all she needed and flew the the top of the stairs, taking one last look at where she called home for so many years. She was back up on the grass and she knew it was now or never.

Stardust was steadily working in the ship, going as fast as she could to get everything ready for the voyage. I am sure glad I started putting rations on the boat a few days ago. It's not much, but I can get the ship there a lot faster with my magic back. She knew that she would help by pushing the boat with wing power, so the amount of food and water on the boat should last even with the amount of ponies that would be on the boat. Stardust flew up the center mast and started to prepare the sail. She looked in the distance across the city, and her gaze met a massive black smoke. It looked as if the darkness was spreading across the land at a speed that seemed almost impossible. Her eyes went blank as she realized what it was, she began to panic, she finished getting the sail tied and she flew behind the boat, starting to push the boat as she blasted wind into the sails. It started to inch forward, with each flap of her wings the sails filled with wind and it started to pick up pace. She gave one more large blast and she knew that it would make it to the docks. She flew the the helm. She was steering the ship to make sure not to run straight into the dock. She settled it down coming within inches of the Griffon and Psych. "Get on the ship NOW! I have to gather the others, we have run out of time! We have to leave!!!" She was frantic as she met the Griffon and Psych, "Get on and get down into the hull, I have to find Aria! If I am not back in 10 minutes, you have to get out of here, even if that means you fly." She was off in a bolt, she was flying faster than ever before, she HAD to get to Aria, she would not leave without her.

I know a lot of people, and we talk occasionally. But... I don't have a friend that would be considered in the norms of being a best friend.

We still need to see what is going on with Lilith, maybe that could be our meanwhile. or the fact that once you guys get to the hideout you can't find her and we have to do a frantic search?

Imagine this. You wake up to a coolness in your home, the windows were open all night and there is a crisp smell in the air. Getting ready for the day you notice out your windows that the wind is blowing, not hard but there is a big enough breeze to shake the leaves on the trees. After putting on a long sleeve shirt (because it won't be cold enough for a jacket) you leave your home. You step into a world that is clear, no heavy fog or smog. The sky looks just a little bit more blue and the clouds look especially fluffy almost like cotton candy. You take that first deep breath of fresh morning air and you can smell a mixture of freshly cut grass, the fire pit of your neighbor and his deliciously smokey fire wood. You can faintly hear it crackle and soon you hear the jingle of a dog collar as someone is going for a late morning run. You take a few steps and the sight of your front trees capture your full attention as the vibrant green has disappeared and in it's place is a brilliant mixture of burnt orange, red, yellow, and tan. You feel the wind tickle the back of your neck as you witness it hit the trees and a few leaves gently float down and kiss the grass before continuing their journey to the yard next door. Just as you start to feel a chill the sun peeks out from behind those cotton candy like clouds and the beam of light sparkles down and greets you with a warm hello. You begin to take a little walk to get the blood flowing before your day officially starts. As you walk your senses are overloaded with the amount of smells, sights, feelings, sounds of everything around you. You can smell bacon, you know that someone is enjoying a warm breakfast on this crisp day. You can see decorations of corn stalks and scarecrows. You can feel the leaves beneath your feet as they aren't quite crisp enough yet to crunch but they have a gentle texture to them. You can hear laughter as kids are playing before they have to get ready for school. Everything seems to just slow down and you become part of something different. You are able to really see the world and everything in it. You make your way back home and instead of that morning cup of coffee that you normally go for, you make a nice hot cup of apple cider. The smell of cinnamon and apple hit your nose and it sends you into a dream state of everything you had just witnessed and felt. It is almost like your entire morning is right there in your mug. That, that my friend... is what fall is like.

6/10 not sure if it is Dog, James Dog. Or something else but it's cute.
