  1. @@Illiad Easle, Argante nodded, pushing the tears that were about to happen back. She leaned into the comforting touch, welcoming it. She prayed that he was right, her citizens might do better with merging back, more than her at least. She closed her eyes, a soft sigh escaping. She would have to do a lot more hiding, a lot more lies. She hated herself for it a lot, it was probably the source of a lot of her problems, now that she actively thought on it. She stepped back for a moment and smiled at him. "Thank you Midnight, you are very kind," she nuzzled him for a moment, then turned to the wall and opened it up. The earth crumbling under her touch. She walked in and waited for him to follow. Once he was in, the earth rose once more, to fill in the hole. She turned back, leading the way back to the keep. Walking back into the courtyard however they were met with panic filled voices. "Princess!" "My lady!" "Waaaaaa" Argante winced at all the voices at once, pushing her way to the stage as so many ponies talked to her at once, surrounding and cutting her away from Midnigh. Her heart rate raised up, her panic starting to grab hold. A small shock from her bracelets pulled her back though, she shook her head and opened her wings, forcing the crowd around her to step back. Flying up and above everyone, she glided to stand up on the stage. She sighed and closed her eyes, folding her wings back to her side, calming her mind as someone spoke. "Your Highness! Where have you BEEN!" She winced as she saw Hoofbeat glare at her, the other members behind him. She glanced back and forth, between the council and her citizens. She took a large breath. She was prepared for this, not on this kind of scale of course, but prepared nonetheless. "I went out, with Midnight, outside the walls, he went to deliver letters, and as your princess, and a curious mare, I went to go see the town of Ponyville to see what has changed." her voice was firm, her stare was a challenge, she listened to the gossip and wanderings of the others. This was her hoof up, she had the upper hoof here, and she sure wasn't going to let it go. "Much has changed! We will need to prepare, we will need to adapt, all of us will have to plan, study, and work very hard. We need to be as accepting as we once were," she glanced towards her council members, they shifted, knowing it was directed towards them. She glanced around, finding Midnight in the crowd. Though it wasn't too hard to find him. She smiled, she hadn't felt so much courage bubbling in her in a long time. Her smiled grew wider. "Everypony, I am here to also tell you I will be gone for a little while," the whispers grew loud as all the ponies started to panic a bit. Argante frowned, she never really realized how much they relied on her. That would definitely need to end. "Listen to me, we have lost touch with a lot of things, you lean on me too much, you need to rely on yourselves as well as me, and the council. They will be in charge of what they know, please, while I am gone, go to them with your problems if you can not solve it yourselves," the talking quieted once more. Argante removed her cloak, the fabric falling and wrapping around her hooves, she spread her wings wide, pulling herself to her full height. "I promise you, as your princess, as your leader, and as your friend, I will come back, with new ideas, with new possibilities, with hope!" There was silence, she quickly grew embarrassed and tucked her wings back at her side, her ears flopping down. A cheer started though, and soon quickly grew into a roar of applause. The council looked around astonished. The hope upon everyone's faces was apparent, there hadn't been such hope in so long, it was breath taking. Argante could only smile, the tears that were once sad, now spilled over in happiness. Towards the back, the elderly pony, Raindew, made his way to Midnight, motioning for the stallion to follow him away from the crowd, the ponies surrounding them, unconsciously moving out of the way as he made his way through the crowd.
  2. @@Illiad Easle, Argante nodded. She had always seen all the eyes outside of the barrier. They always made her uneasy, she never wanted to see the creatures those eyes belonged to. She stepped out with Midnight, saying her goodbyes to Zecora, and following the stallion through the woods. She kept glancing around, nerves and paranoia starting to get to her. She unconsciously trekked closer to Midnight than she intended, all of a sudden feeling like a small filly again. She bumped softly into Midnight, snapping her out of her small little stupor. "A-ah sorry!" she stammered, stepping quickly to the side to be a bit further from him. She chastised herself in her mind, 'Snap out of it silly mare! You are strong, you are not a filly no more!' she bit her lower lip, her ears down, lost in her thoughts as they got closer to the town and its new earthen wall. She looked at the far away wall, almost home, almost there. "Midnight," she started to speak, her eyes looking at the ground, her voice was quiet, "Do you...do you think that we will be, accepted?" Her fears were weighing heavily on her shoulders. She felt out here she should speak about it for a moment before she had to put the front that she knew what she was doing back on. Out here she could be honest, in there, she had to shroud herself. (so I spent almost a day on this because I couldn't think of the word paranoia, guh!)
  3. @@Illiad Easle, "Oh my gosh your right!!! I am super rude!" Argante grew flustered, her cloak moved showing one wing and her mark to the Zebra. "I shall formally introduce myself since we are out of so many eyes," she bowed as she normally did, hoof over chest, "I am Princess Argante, my kingdom has been hidden a long time, and I would like to ask you, if you would maybe teach my potions master sometime in the future, if you could teach him what you could that would be wonderful, and we would wish to possibly purchase or trade with you as well. I am sorry to have kept it secret." she bowed her head in apology, moving her cloak to settle back over her frame. She hoped she came off a sincere. She wasn't really used to this sort of thing after all. She then thought of her subjects, she knew she wasn't gone for too long but she knew her ponies. There are probably several that are running around searching. She sighed inwardly at the trouble she was most likely in. She looked up at Midnight and smiled. "My subjects are probably pretty worried, I just hope the council won't be too mad at me." she giggled. Though she knew they would be mad, the bit of mischief had made her feel light again, her mood had been very low these few thousand years.
  4. @@Illiad Easle, Argante nodded, her stomach growling as the smell of food wafted to her. She grabbed her stomach, giggling in embarrassment. As she watched the zebra prep the food, she decided to lose herself in her thoughts. Would ponies shun her own citizens cause of how they looked? Her and her ponies had lost a lot of their color since they could not get natural sunlight. Would they be treated the same as this poor zebra? Or like Midnight? Her ears flopped down as the thoughts traveled through her mind. Maybe it was better if the spell had not broken. She bit her lower lip, a small pain traveling through her body. No, she shouldn't think like that. She had to have hope, hope they could come back to the world. She looked to Midnight, a small smile across her features. He was going to help that, she could feel it. She had to have faith. She continued her thoughts, listening to the conversation.
  5. @@Illiad Easle, Argante stared in awe at the different multicolored masks that covered the tree. Looking at each one individually, she noted the carvings, the coloring, everything, about each one. Her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at them. She noticed her companions already went inside and quickly followed. The magical feeling from the tree was very comforting, making her a bit more braver than usual. She sat down in a place she felt was out of the way enough, then started to fulfill her curiosity, "So Zecora, why don't you live in Ponyville?"
  6. @@Illiad Easle, Argante sighed in relief. Though she may not look it she was actually quite the glutton, a trait that persisted to even adulthood, so she was quite happy at the mention of any kind of food. Maybe she would be able to try all kinds of new food now that they were released. As they followed the zebra, she took more note of the zebra, from her jewelry to her mark. 'Zebras are really mysterious, if I remember right Midnight told me they were really good at potions...' she opened her mouth to speak but closed it back. 'Would it be okay to ask her about it? I mean I barely know her...well, might as well leap I suppose.' "So uhm Zecora, do you...do you make potions? Midnight told me that Zebras were really excellent at making them."
  7. @@Illiad Easle, She stared after the strange pony, when midnight spoke to her she came out of her thoughts and back to the matter at hand. "Yeah, your right! I feel bad that this was what my first trip to a town ended up like though, however, I am glad we met Miss Doo, she is very nice." Argante stood beside Midnight and smiled, "Shall we then?" she started to walk on ahead, back towards the forest. It might be longer for her citizens to blend back with the world than she hopped. Maybe not all is lost though. If she could just figure out something that would help. She stopped for a moment and scratched her head. 'Hnng this is going to take a lot of work.' As they walked, she continued to glance around the streets and stores till one caught her eye, as well as her nose. The bright building that had such wonderful smells coming from it made her mouth water. She frowned though. With things as they were right now, sweets should be the furthest from her mind, however her tummy, with it now rumbling at her in argument, would happily disagree. "We should probably eat some berries near the forest once we get there, I knew I should have grabbed some food before we left."
  8. Argante frowned, looking down. She could sympathize, in a way. Things one could have done but didnt. "I guess...thats just one problem that one deals with, when you are immortal...." she glanced away looking at the smiling ponies around them. After what has happened her citizens got a taste of what being immortal was like. Now that everything was back to normal, well, the cycle will continue, and the ponies she knew would be gone, new ones replacing the old. She shook her head trying to clear away the thoughts that were passing through her mind.
  9. @@Illiad Easle, Argante looked shocked for a temporary moment. Double checking herself if her cloak was still on. It was. This pony was perceptive. She nodded, and slowly touched hooves with the small mare. "I-Its nice to meet you, I'm Argante." Yes, good, that was a sentence. Not bad for just meeting a new pony. She looked over her and with her crisscross eyes and very happy demeanor, it put Argante in a very happy mood, she thought the pony was adorable. A good in a bucket of bad. She tilted her head ever so slightly and asked, "How did you know what I was though?"
  10. @@Illiad Easle, She nodded and followed slowly behind. She looked around, her body felt uncomfortable with the occasional stares. She kept close to Midnight. As she looked, ignoring the stares, she noticed there were quite a few stores that caught her interest. She made note of them for a possible trip later on. Hopefully her next trip her might be a bit more welcoming than this. As she glanced, she would occasionally lock eyes with a pony, the look they had as they hid back away hurt her. She was so used to being surrounded by love and acceptance from her own ponies, that this shunning was taking a toll on her. She glanced to Midnight, she couldn't imagine the feelings he had weighing in on his mind. She shook her head, trying to stand up straight, trotting a bit to stand beside him,staying close to his side. She smiled at him, hoping it was a reassuring one. She was going to ask some questions, but she was afraid to even speak in this type of atmosphere.
  11. @@Illiad Easle, Argante looked sad that this was happening, especially to a new friend. It made her blood boil, but a quick zap from her bracelet was enough to reel back the anger quickly. She looked toward the zebra that approached and smiled at the kind demeanor that she held for Midnight. She trotted to stand beside Midnight and bowed her head as a sign of respect to the zebra. "It's nice to meet you Zecora." she kept the excitement down to a minimum, she didn't think she was going to meet a zebra so soon. As she looked at her, she realized how pretty she was. Were all zebras this pretty, or maybe mysterious would be the proper word. She then shook off the thoughts and continued to speak, "We aren't the first?" for such a friendly looking town to be so, unfriendly kinda put a damper on her spirit. (hehe its okay, she will be a bit upset but she tough >3)
  12. @@Illiad Easle, Argante blinked at the harsh sunlight, rubbing her eyes to get used to its brightness. As she adjusted she gasped and surveyed the bustling town. There were so many ponies, so many houses and stores. She continued to look around, looking at the hills that was around, looking up to see a few pegasi clearing away some unwanted clouds, and some laying on them. She went a little forward to get a better look, watching the ponies go about their lives. She smiled, sniffling a small bit. This looked like a nice town, full of acceptance, maybe her ponies would be alright coming into this new world after all. It made her heart swell with relief and then it was filled with excitement. She was ready, ready to go down and look around the town. Her wings quivered, she held them tightly to her body though. "Come on lets go!" she giggled.
  13. @@Illiad Easle, "Well I already told you the first half, I figure you should hear the rest," 'painful as it may be...' she thought that last part keeping it to herself. She looked around the forest, keeping her eyes peeled, she was so used to dense forest, she wasn't sure how well she was going to take the light. She looked at all the animals that were skittering about, enjoying the sounds of the birds chirping. She closed her eyes enjoying their song. 'This is so nice, I hope my citezens will also get to enjoy this one day as well'
  14. @@Illiad Easle, She smiled and bumped him softly on his side with her own. "Happy to have you as one, not many get to see me take off the bracelets. I think I will tell you the other half of my story on the way home, since you have answered so many of my questions, and will probably answer a whooooooole lot more once we reach the town." She grinned, though under the laughs and calm exterior she was nervous. She didn't know what she would see after all. She will have to bite her tongue and try to keep excitement to a minimum, she reminded herself that she could take some mental notes, so she could remember questions later on. Her wings shivered a bit in anticipation. A whole new world basically to explore. What a wonderful concept.
  15. @@Illiad Easle, Although Argante was shocked at the story she couldn't help but let out a small laugh. It wasn't a laugh that was meant to be mean or anything, but she imagined him as a boogy pony and couldn't help but laugh at the image. "Sorry, sorry, just imagining you as a boogy pony made me laugh," she coughed trying to stop her small giggles. "Well hopefully none of that will happen, if something happens, I will back you up! After all you are becoming my friend." she blushed at her words and then continued quickly, "I-I-I mean i-i-if you want to be friends that is, we just met, b-b-but its been nice to talk to you and learn and I...I will be quiet now..." she tried to have her white mane cover her face, as it was red with embarrassment. What she said she meant though, she did hope they were becoming friends, but maybe it was just her? She did only have the same ponies to talk to for three thousand plus years.
  16. @@Illiad Easle, She frowned at that. Rewriting history? That was horrible, no matter the wrong doing history was very very important. Especially to Argante, history kept them knowledgeable, kept certain mistakes from being repeated. She shook her head free from the thoughts and smiled. "I guess a good question would be, what should I expect in Ponyville?"

  18. She nodded and lead him back through the keep quickly. As she had suspected there were several cloaks near the front, as they went past she quickly grabbed one and wrapped it around her gracefully. She pulled up the hood so they wouldn't be stopped, she pressed a small bit of magic around them to make them go unnoticed. Long enough to get to the wall that lead towards Ponyville. Argante looked around, smiling when she realized the coast was clear, putting a hoof to the earthen wall. The wall melted away a large enough hole for them to pass through, she let Midnight go first and she followed suit, sealing the hole behind them with new earth. She nodded at her hoofwork and then looked to the forest. She had always liked looking out into it, but now that she was in it was a whole different story, It wasn't so much scary as it was awe inducing to her. She liked the coolness of the forest, it made her wings shiver slightly. As they walked, having him lead the way, she glanced to him and smiled. "Well now, questions questions, I have so many and I am sure you have some too, or I could finish my story on how we got trapped but, I guess I will start with a question, what is the Equestrian royalty like?"
  19. She nodded interested in his story. The part about killing ponies shocked her a bit, she kept a bit of a poker face though. "Killed who exactly? What is the story on that?" she tilted her head as Orange Blossom brought over the things they ordered. She thanked the mare and sipped on her cider, waiting for him to carry on.

  21. @@Illiad Easle, "I would rather go than someone else, I dont think my citizens will be ready to venture out just yet, it might be...a shock? I know I will be excited, but I will keep composure at least. Also, sneaking out sounds a bit fun, and honestly I would love to cause a bit of mischief before I go, I was a pretty good little prankster back when I was little, Hoofbeat was my prime target cause he was easy to rile up." she giggled at the memories of playing little pranks on the stallion, from pails of water, to switching the colors of his robes, they were fairly harmless. "It might be why he is always on guard around me now, never know when a pail of water will go on him," she laughed some more and then coughed. "But honestly I grew out of it, especially since we were trapped, I didn't wish to cause more trouble than we were already in you know?" she sighed a bit as she walked to the door. "Well lets get going, I am so excited! There should be spare cloaks near the front gate that I could just grab."
  22. @@Illiad Easle, Argante fidgeted, rubbing her bracelet again. "Is it...is it okay if I join you, on your trip to..uh Ponyville? I understand if I have to hide that I am an alicorn, I could wear a cloak! I would just like to, you know, take my first steps out of this forest...." she started to mumble her words towards the end. She was nervous about going out of the forest in general, even if she really wanted it. However that wouldn't stop her from taking those first few courageous steps out into the new world.
  23. @@Illiad Easle, "Most of our decisions are told to the public sooner or later, most of the time its sooner cause of Hoofbeat, he is a grouchy stallion and loves to vent to poor Blossom, since it would be public knowledge here soon, I suppose he didn't wish to hold his tongue with his displeasure." she shrugged and then continued, "Unless its top secret stuff that we, as the council, don't wish the citizens to know, all members are free to discus what happens." She smiled as he asked about her latest experiment. "So a bananaerry is a mixture of a banana and a strawberry, since we traded very often we always got things that were quite new to us. We grew strawberries before but we traded bananas once and learned to grow them. Well you see," she blushed and smiled sheepishly, "I had a dream of a strawberry banana and well, I like tooooooo, dabble in horticulture from time to time and asked our resident green hoof if we could make a cross breed of that and see if it would be possible." she beamed as she explained, excitement all over her features, "And it worked, they say its edible too, we have been working on it for several years now, and now with the barrier broken, we will get more sunlight and be able to grow even more things!" Her excitement was almost infectious, she loved when new ideas worked, even the silly ones she comes up with. "Imagine all the types of food we could make with it!"
  24. "Huh, I only really know Luna, and I have met Twilight and her friends once before." she pondered a bit, trying to remember who they were and how they acted. "Is Luna really going out with one of the Watchers?" she didn't know what that was exactly, she assumed it was like a guard so to speak, so she knew there are certain rules against that sort of thing. Much like it was here.
  25. @@Illiad Easle, "Of course!" She reached into her saddle bag that as dangling from the chair and pulled out several pieces of parchment, as well as a quill. She set them on the table and smiled at him. A knock then resounded on the door, she tilted her head to the side. No one really ever knocked before. She left him to his writing leaving to go answer the door to see what could be so urgent. As she opened it Orange Blossom and her head maid stood there with worried looks on their faces. "Is uh, something wrong?" Argante questioned, slightly fearing the answer. "Princess you can't leave! What will happen without you!?" Orange Blossom shouted, tears in her eyes. Argante's ears went down as the older mare shouted at her. This was what she was afraid of, she hadn't even made an announcement yet, she gathered it was probably Hoofbeat who told her. The angry stallion always went to the tavern to vent to poor Orange Blossom. She could only sigh and put a gentle hoof on her old caretaker. "Listen it's something I have resigned to do, and something I must do. You know for at least a thousand years I have been trying to get us out to..." Argante looked down, her wings unfurling to also match her mood. The old mare understood immediately and hugged the alicorn. "Oh dearie, I'm sorry, I didn't, I mean, I just....I'm sorry...." was all she could whisper to her. She knew the burden their princess held in her heart, but over the thousands of years, it was easy to forget. A troublesome memory indeed. "Me and Sweet Flower will go and do some packing for you, the essentials and whatnot. You can look it over later okay?" she wiped a hidden tear away from Argante's cheek and smiled, trying to make her smile. She did, it wasn't big though, it was full of sadness too. Then she had a thought, the tavern was too far for Hoofbeat to tell Blossom anything, she pulled up and looked at the mare curiously "How did you know I was leaving?" "Oh please, Hoofbeat was mumbling while I was coming in and you know how he talks, I overheard him." she answered. "Well then why were you coming to see me originally then?" Argante asked, she hoped she wouldn't dread the answer. "Oh! Right, totally forgot in my panic, the experiment worked, the fruit bloomed, and it is non poisonous." "That's amazing! I am so glad it worked, I honestly didn't think it would since it was based off a silly dream of mine." "Give yourself some more credit princess, but the bananaerry was a success, we will see if it will produce the same thing with the seeds it produces." "Please and thank you!" Argante all but jumped for joy, happy that it went well. The two bowed and left, Argante closed the door and walked back to Midnight with a renewed spring in her step. "How are the letters going?"
