You've never told me you were going to France, what you going to be doing there?

I had to learn what it meant to make my own decisions and decide things for my life even if it meant ending friendships with people who wouldn't understand or respect that.

Saturn represents contracts, deeds and arrangements in my eyes. The rings are what bound those with each other. Why else do we exchange rings, for marriages?

@Catpone Cerberus Upon his entry into the train car he would smirk in an authoritative manner. It was a good thing that he had found someone who could do more than what he asked of her. The train car was a lot nicer than it was before, so he obviously approved of her actions here to say the least. What was of most importance was the object that Una had there, it was probably something from the papers or from her body that he didn't notice so he didn't comment on that. "I encountered a rather annoying creature there. Took her some coaxing, but she told me the locations of other items of great power - but I have no way of knowing if she's lying and she didn't tell me where the Alicorn Amulet was, other than what I had already surmised - it being locked away, probably in the Canterlot treasury. If she lied to me, she will pay dearly in the future but that's not the main point." he spoke, and then revealed to her the various clothing he had gotten her. Mostly outdoor-ish clothing, with a cloak to hide her other features. With his suits, he cast a spell on them and they vanished to shadow - for further use. With a grunt, he looked out over the area. "It's time we get going, now." he said, not leaving her any room to disagree. He planned to catch a train out of the place, and to head further towards Canterlot.

@Blitz Boom Spectra would run away from the creature as it staggered towards them, and kept hey eyes on it as it eventually collapsed and succumbed to it's internal wounds. It was a horrifying thing, really. Something that did not deserve to exist within the world whatsoever and she'd soon find out exactly why. Looking at the revelation of the Equine Organs was enough to convince her what this thing was. A mad experiment, committed by the a mad pony - just so happening to be the one they were after. Operata could see within Spectra's eyes more emotion than he had seen out of her before. A combination of Melancholy combined with a sense of...loss? She'd force that to the side, but it was clear that Spectra wasn't entirely what she claimed to be. Maybe the vast majority, sure, but what remained if all that was taken away? There was a possibility there, to be sure. She would remain silent for a little while, gazing at the corpse of the creature. She didn't feel one bit guilty for doing what she did to the creature, if anything it released it's misery and pain after all this time. Spectra granted the creature what it needed. Mercy. Then she looked to him. "It is clear to me now that these monsters that roam this area are that of former ponies. The only solution to this is death. They deserve that much. These ponies have already had fates worse than death, but perhaps we can grant them the peace that they need in the end. If anything, you should relish it. If such a mind created this, then I am sure that such a mind would be able to create something far greater. However, this Duke Mind Storm...is not to be shown any kind of freedom, once we have him. I will not risk him escaping, and potentially causing needless chaos and misery." she pointed to the creature. "We will gild him into what the world exactly needs. Or give him too - a release from his wrongdoings." she mentioned and turned away, already charging up another spell in preparation for the next monster to take down, as they proceeded forward. "Each step of the way, we make history. Let us make a future, as well..." with that, she was ready for what lay ahead. At least that is what she thought so far. She did suggest however, that they stay quiet, in the attempts of hopefully being able to avoid these monsters as much as possible.

Thinking more about Lexxic, a character in the fimfic I am reading. He is the one who basically created change in the Bloodwing society, betting all of his actions to war, war, war, that goes against the tradition of having time to recover, but he wants to put it all to the war by becoming even more cruel, fast, and efficient. Unlike all other ponies, he has this like, plate of chaos metal across his face and he has 5 cylinders he can retract from that plate to form blades. Extremely enigmatic, he enjoys what he does - surprisingly jovial, yet tactical. There seem to be two sides within the Bloodwing faction, the ones who support Lexxic, and the ones that support the Council - now RD must walk that tightrope between both sides, or choose one of the sides. “Lexxic is not some mere pawn of the Matriarchal Council that employs him. He has grown into something larger... deadlier... emboldened by both power and desperation. If there was ever a leash that held him in place, it has drawn itself invisible—or threadbare at the very most. He dedicates himself to the cause of the Vigil by duty, but that honor is nebulous at best. His true commitment is to his brothers, and—as time appears to abide—there are far more of them than those who pretend to command them. He likes nothing more than to flaunt his authority and experience, and when his audience runs thin... I fear that so will the walls keeping him in check.” - Seraphimus.

@Illiad Easle Merlot nods in agreement and didn't say much else. She left and would proceed to walk about the project a bit. She didn't have much else to do, so if anyone wanted to talk to her they could. If not, she'd head to her room and take a shower before taking a quick nap. (If you want anyone else to interact with her you can have someone come about if you'd like.) @Kujamih @Blitz Boom @Illiad Easle Spiral looked to last and nodded. "You and me both, that creature must spill its secrets or I'll be more than pleased to spill whatever contents within myself." she commented casually, and was more than pleased that they managed to make quick work of the books that were attacking them. Once they got inside of the study she would look at the various notes strewn about the place. "Hmm, very fascinating. Revolves around something similar to an Arcane Nexus, where many unicorns put their magic in a device to cast much larger spells with their combined magic. Perhaps that is a key to what happened here." she remarked, and when they approached the stallion in Amber, she would use her shadow magic to create blades and cut it out, grabbing the key for the group.

If you put two pieces of bread on exact opposite sides of the Earth - the Earth is a sandwich. But I would say a hotdog is a sandwich.

@Millennium Shadow I do mean 128GB, yes. I am thinking you should use an SSD as a backup. And about Windows 11 - I don't understand what people have against it, it works perfectly for me.

124GB should be good for you. You should do SSD only because Hard Drives are slow and get slower over time. Upgrade to Windows 11.

Probably getting a job, I have never worked before.

It needs a lot of improvement for sure.

I was shaving in my bathroom.

@Catpone Cerberus Sombra looked at her as she left, finding her to be a very odd creature to say the least. Whatever she was, she knew a lot. Not exactly something he was going to go out of his way to trifle with. With the locations memorized in his mind, he would head off to the nearby clothing store. Of course he was just going to steal some clothing for himself as well. As a regular stallion, he figured he would look good in a suit. As he walks about the place, he notices how technology and the general style of things have changed in the past thousand years or so. It was a positive change to say the least. As he entered into the store, he saw the various lights and arrangements within. He found himself a bit bewildered by that fact. It was all very interesting to say the least, but he had a mission to accomplish first before taking a gander at any modern technologies he came across. But one of his goals was possibly taking advantage of said technology to suit his aims to conquer Equestria as he had set out for himself to do. Nothing in here struck him as anything that could be used as a weapon. First things first, clothing. He would make sure that no others were looking when he got himself several suits stuffed into a bag, and he would pick out various casual wear for Una, as well as a cloak to hide most of her form. With the various things in the bag that he gathered after several minutes his body along with the items would vanish into shadow, heading off towards the train car. Eventually, he would return to the train car, wondering if Una was loyal enough to stay as he instructed.

I hated the administration who ran and operated the school as well as a lot of the people around me.

I quite like the message of that!

@Silk Glamour I love it!

For some reason I cannot use the scroll wheel on this website, seems to be a new thing. My mouse works fine on all other sites, just not this one.

@Catpone Cerberus Sombra couldn't help but grit his teeth at that. He felt exposed, having someone who could see right through his illusions and his lies. If that was how this was going to be then there was no hiding his intentions. Not that he cared all that much, it would likely be hard to track him down anyway and he was sure he could take this dragon on should he have to. Only reason why he didn't pummel her into the ground this instant was because there were others around in the area and he didn't wish to make a scene. If what she spoke of was really true, then he would be glad to find anything. If he should go there and find nothing, he'd know that she lied to him. His main objective was the amulet, perhaps she was just trying to throw him off - but he wouldn't discount her map and the locations she pointed out just yet. He would look down at the map, memorizing it's locations within his mind. He stayed silent, his highly annoyed expression spoke all that needed to be spoken. This dragon needed to learn to bow before her true King, after all.

@Blitz Boom The vines of the creature were enough to keep her from getting closer to it. Now that she had the ice crystals inside of it, that didn't matter all that much. Spectra kept her distance from the creature as she focused on the ice shards inside of it. In the meantime, she looked to Operata with an approving nod to show that she approved of his actions. Honestly this thing was quite creepy, and they'd be doing the world a favor by ridding the world of it's presence. "I can go further. I hadn't started yet." she called out to him. The ice inside of the creature's maw would begin to expand in fractal like formations. It was a slow process, but it was noticeable. Her horn glowed a bright shade of blue as this occurred. Also of note, a blue beam of light formed from her horn and shined into the maw of the creature. Shortly after, she started to move the ice crystals around inside the maw of the creature painfully. Dragging them around, tearing at it's flesh or whatever form of interior this creature would have. As she'd tear them about it's maw, the crystals would slowly expand. Across Spectra's face came a cruel and sickening grin. One so wide, that it could almost split her face. Perhaps it comes with experience? Either way, she wasn't going to allow anything or anyone to beat her down. "Don't bother trying with Music. Let's slay this with efficiency. Aim for the branches, offensive actions!" she commanded him, like a military general would.

@Randimaxis I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. I hope it gets better for you!
