General Solar Magus

Just a note to everypony: The map of Equestria will only be created and added to the OOC thread as of the beginning of chapter 2 which is when it will be relevant for use . @Star48955 @Der Kerzenwaechter @Techno Universal So now you guys are up for your first major encounter in the story. I still don't have your characters battle songs, so if you have made your choice please post it so I can add it to the battle opening. If you are indecisive on one, then that's okay. I don't have to put them in the post. I have now set each of you guys to [In Scene] in the OOC thread main post until the battle concludes. @rolle, @)o( Dream Walker )o(, @Star48955, @Maple Bat, @Once In A Blue Moon, @Techno Universal, @C. Thunder Dash, @Der Kerzenwaechter Oh, and one last note. Since I posted today instead of Yesterday, my posting times for this week will be Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Next week will return to normal .

She turns to Napier and speaks to him with disdain. Sunset Shimmer: "A general. Interesting." She looks at his uniform. "General Napier Flight. What would a member of the military and a general no less be doing here among the commoners? Princess Celestia has been so mother like and controlling over the military that it has doubled in size in the last ten years, and nopony knows why. I don't expect you are here for no reason, the army is always busy these days." she clearly show distrust in the army. "Mr Flight, just because I am doing something the military knows nothing of, doesn't make me a bad pony. You need not be concerned. If you wish to hear then fine, I have nothing to hide." she looks at Napier for a second longer. She then speaks to both of them. "Anyway, to answer your question Alexandria, I am currently involved in an archaeological dig below the city. Me and associates of mine have discovered an ancient site that predates the city and possibly the two sisters themselves. While we may have discovered the site, we have found no way to get in as it is protected by a powerful magical barrier, and we are busy searching for a way in. There are many artifacts buried in the rocks and sand around this underground site with markings that suggested to us that a door will open if we put them in specific positions around the site. We are unfortunately low on hoofs and there are far too many artifacts for us to arrange them into every possible combination, and so this is is why I ask for help." She pauses for a moment. "I must let you know that this dig is very important to me and my cohorts, and that is why we are willing to pay such a great deal for the help. Our project has a great deal of funding from a generous benefactor and associate of sorts, but not enough participants. The famous archaeologist/geologist Maud Pie and her team didn't want to help us, ...." She pauses: "... which we were kinda counting on." She asks politely: "So would you be willing to help us? If the deal doesn't suit you, I can sweeten it if you want." She sits on the bench. "My name is Maud. A pleasure to meet you." she extend her hoof slowly with a devoid facial expression. She responds to Heathlife's comment: "Well, I have had my fair share of being a social outcast. I'm not exactly the 'overt' type." she gestures with her hooves. "Ponies find me difficult to talk to because of my small range of interests." "For example, did you know that there is a giant underground cavern several kilometers below the surface that stretches from Poniville to Manehatten and even under the ocean? There are a lot of minerals found embedded in the walls of the cavern from Iron to Silver and others. See?" she looks back at Heathlife. She responds again: "Your name was taken out of education books. Why is that? Did you do something wrong?" A red unicorn pony with a big and flowing black mane is on the opposite side of the street looking at both of them. His horn is glowing but nothing seems to be happening from Chelsea and Thundy's perspectives. He averts his eyes whenever one of them looks at him. (Alright, was just making sure . Ahh it is in the castle, okay thanks for the info ) Pound says to Woody: "Of course you can, stop knocking yourself Woody." Pumpkin says to Woody: "Yeah, you can do it. Your gonna be awesome." Pumpkin then responds to Woody's comment: "Wow, that is seriously amazing. I don't think I'll ever be that good. Even though she is around my age, there is no way I could catch up to something like that. She sounds seriously gifted though. She must be very disciplined in training." The blue unicorn speaks to Maple: "Why we want it is none of your concern, so don't bother asking again." The dark-blue unicorn then says: "Oh yes, why would you tell us?" they say sarcastically. "Why? Because this is not a request little girl." Blue: "And don't let the though cross your mind that you are getting out of this. We still need you anyway. Only you can use the bow, so we need you to be using it if we want the spell to work." Dark-Blue: "Indeed." Dark-Blue responds to Maples comment: "You defend Equestria for what? So that it can just get into trouble again a few months afterwards? You have no idea how naive you are. Saving the world takes a lot more than hitting things really hard." Blue: "Anyway, about that bow......" The blue unicorn then tries to fire a bolt of energy aimed directly at Maple's head. @Star48955 @Techno Universal @Der Kerzenwaechter(Morph) Rarity: "I'm not so sure about this. I feel the need to go and tell my friends about this. The elements of Harmony can help solves this issue. Please don't do anything brash miss Shinning." Bright Shinning: "I cannot promise that Rarity, my time is short." Rarity says to the other fashion pony and the driver of the carriage: "I must go warn my friends as quickly as possible. Lets get a move on, post hast!!" She speaks to the ponies around the carriage: "Please, everypony make space for the carriage, I must leave immediately." Rarity and the fashion pony rush back into the carriage. The crowd moves out of they as best it can. The carriage begins to travel towards the city as fast as it can. Bright Shinning turns to Moonlight, Techno, and Wavecrash. Bright Shinning: "Then it is decided. Let us go, we have little time." She casts a spell that summons a platform of light below their hooves, and makes it lift up into the air. She gears it in the direction of the escort and the Seaponies. A few moments later they arrive at the river in front of the thousands of Seaponies, their King, and their 6000 troop Equestrian escort. Bright sets the platform upon the ground on the side of the river, and flies above the river in front of the Seaponies and their king. In order to get the attention of the thousands of travelling ponies and Seaponies, Bright Shinning conjured a massive flash of light that is almost blinding to the eyes . She then casts a spell that unleashes a blast of energy. The blast causes the front ranks of the escorts to loose their balance and fall over, and causes the river water to push the Seaponies including the convoy with their King several meters back. @Der Kerzenwaechter (Wavecrash). The three children become outright knocked over by the blast. They begin to cry and hurry towards the other Seaponies in the water. Bright Shinning casts another spell that allows her to amplify her voice. She then speaks to the entire collection of beings below her: "Greetings dwellers of Seaquestria and soldiers of Equestria. I am Bright Shinning, Priestess of the White Fields! I cannot allow you to reach the city of Cantelot. I have seen the future and you will all be in grave danger if go there! Please, for the sake of your lives, turn back now!" she urges with great importance. "If you refuse to turn back, then I will make you!!" she assumes an aggressive aerial stance by widening her wings as far as she can. She is now levitating herself in the air with her magic. The soldiers of the escort seem on edge. Their commanding officers are already ordering them into formations just in case. The King of the Seaponies exits his convoy, and jumps into the river water. He then speaks to Bright Shinning. "Priestess, I am King Rip Tide of Seaquestria. My people have long awaited a chance to sea the Capital of the grant nation of Equestria that they have called their own for so many years. We will arrive in Canterlot whether you like it or not." Bright Shinning: "Please reconsider, this is your final warning." Her eyes begin to glow white. The King Rip Tide speaks again: "I will not allow some superstitious fortuneteller to get in the way of my peoples bonding with Equestria. This day is too important to us". Bright Shinning speak: "Well then so be it....." She is preparing to attack. (Alright guys, we have reached the first major encounter of the story). (@Star48955, @Techno Universal, @Der Kerzenwaechter[Wavecrash and Morph], all of your characters are now presented with a choice. You guys can choose to fight alongside Bright Shinning if you believe what she is saying about saving the Seaponies from some big disaster that could come later, or you can choose to fight alongside King Rip Tide and the escort of 6'000 Equestrian soldiers to help the Seaponies reach Canterlot for the festival. Announce which side you choose to join in your next post, and I will launch the battle in my next post. Choose wisely ).

Sweet, thanks. And no frets on waiting any longer, I am making the post now .

Heu guys. Sorry response day today didnt come, some stuff came up, so ill do it tomorrow as early as I can.

Awesome guys. Thanks for letting me know . This kinda info is a big help for how I'm gonna set up coming rounds of posts, so thanks .

Rarity: "Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure about this. Not letting the Seaponies into the city for their own celebration sounds like....a bad idea. Are you sure that you saw what you saw in your futuretelling?" Bright Shinning says to Rarity: "Yes, I am sure Rarirty". Rarirty still seems to be pondering the whole thing over. Bright Shinning says to Techno and Star: "Thank you for being willing to help me. We must act fast if we are to cut off the Seaponies and their escort from reaching Canterlot." She is now awaiting Morphs answer. Applejack: "Aye, no problem Sugarcube, I'm here yo help out ." She takes her hat off for a second. "I'm always much abliged to help another out". She gives Chelsea a small hug. They arrive at the gates of the city. "Ahh Canterlot, the capital of Equestria. Aside from those snobby types sometimes crawling around, I can outright say that this city is a bute. What do you think big Mac?". Big Mac: "Eeeeyup." Applejack She turns to Chelsea: "Well, this our stop off. Me and my whole family are gonna be setting up stands in half a district of the city, so were gonna be busy settin' up for a while. It was very nice to be meetin' ya Chelsea. I hope you enjoy the festival. Heck, maybe we will even run into each other again if luck happens upon it." Shes gives a big kind smile. "Good luck finding your brother, and tell him I say hi." As the gates open, the Apples head in pulling their carts after them. Pound Cake: "Woah, Woody. Don't worry. They wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't capable of pulling it off. You are good enough, there no denyingway that." Pound winks. Pumpkin: "An archer you say. Whats you longest distance on a shot far? I.... kinda practice archery a little, but I'm still an amatuar. So your best will probably blow me out of the water. My effective range is about 14meters at the moment." Pumpkin smiles and chuckles ",but we all gotta start somewhere." (Wait, I thought we were already in Canterlot?) . As Maple begins flying off, a blue female unicorn teleports in the way of her flying path and as Maple hits her, she teleports both of them to a nearby dark alleyway. There was another female unicorn who was dark blue already in the alley. Discord and the others didn't notice what happened. The first unicorn says saracstically with a grin: "It's nice to meet you Maple." She continues:"Yes, I know who you are miss captain of the Night gaurd. I did my homework." She smiles "Let's cut to the chase, I pulled you here because I want your magic bow. Me and my friends are collecting, and we're not very patient. Where is it?" Both of their horns begin to glow as they give fierce grins and walks closer to Maple. "Hello." A pony speaks to Heathlife from a nearby crowd. They walk out to reveal themselves. "Nice to meet you." It was a grey female Earth pony. She seemed a little distant, but freindly. "I couldn't help but notice that you seem a little bit lost in thought." She stops talking abruply and pauses a moment. "Mind if I take a seet on the bench with you? What's your name?" Sunset Shimmer: "Oh, hi there." Shes notices Napiers well ranked military uniform and begins to seem only a tad nervous. "It's just for like a teamwork kinda thing. Me and a friend just need some extra hooves with some work." She then says: "Who are you by the way?" She looks to the front of the line she is standing in again.

There is absolutely no need to appologize . This is all about fun, so being a little late is zero of a big deal. No worries . I was just curious is all .

Sweetness

Ima guess yum, but I has to look it up to find out ehat it is XD Lickerish? (I love me some lickerish )

I know. I 'm sorry to keep you waiting as you were an early poster. I'm doing replies within in the next few hours, and the next reply day will be Sunday.

Ahh okay. Okay cool.

@rolle @Techno Universal @Maple Bat @Once In A Blue Moon @Star48955 @Der Kerzenwaechter @)o( Dream Walker )o( @C. Thunder Dash Hey guys. It's response day and I've noticed that only three ponies made posts. Did something simply come up for you guys or is there something I can help with? Is it possibly the choices thing? I can remove it if you want me to. If there is anything on your minds please let me know. I'm here to make this a fun adventure for all of us .

Sounds like a fun book . I'm getting the feel like it is a do-it-yourself DnD XD. I like your character song pick. It's very powerful .

You are mistaken. Starlight will be taking over the show next season *sticks tongue out* XD. Therefore by my calculations Starlight Glimmer = Best pony^10. Brohoofs @Holiday Agnaktor. Yes I do. The way I see it, magic is a force that breaks the laws of reality, and I believe they can be broken . What do you call a fly with no wings?

(XD) Lord of the rings. Seeing a pony riding a fellbeast or eagle would kill it for me. Plus you wouldnt be able to take pony Sauron seriously, and I won't even try to guess what Golum will look like XD. Oh, and the Ring wouldn't fit on anyone XD. Who is the best pony? (Psst, there is only one correct answer, it's Starlight Glimmer XD)

Slow hard hitting for sure. I'm a late game player who loves to take their time and keep myself safe while slowly grinding my opponents into submission XD. Beware my power!! Lol. How long is a piece of string?

Vinyl Scratch? Sure, I'll kiss her, just so long as she take her glasses off so I can her eyes before I do .

I just listened to it. Nice pick. I really dig the tunes . I see you also kept it a melody like how you wanted for Woody. I'll let you and @C. Thunder Dash know more details about who's singing after who (including npc's) when we come closer to the concert .

Johannesburg, South Africa, also known as the city of Gold. Jo'burg as we call it it one of the very few cities in the world to not be on the coastline. It is also is one of the very few founded 'not' because it was near water, but rather Jo'burg was founded because of the massive mining potential that it still has, which has yet to be properly exploited in my opinion. Jo'burg also has the famous South African tourist destination Gold Reef City. The three tallest buildings in our country are also situated here (although they aren't that tall, as the tallest is 223 meters).

@rolle @Techno Universal @Maple Bat @Once In A Blue Moon @Star48955 @Der Kerzenwaechter @)o( Dream Walker )o( @C. Thunder Dash As you guys can see, I've presented some of you with choice's to make in the story. At certain points in the play, more of these choices can appear. Basically, the choices you guys make will influence certain story arks and can result in a handful of different endings, so I'm not forcing any specific answers. You guys make the choices you want and the play will actually follow a different direction based on your decisions! . And ofc ourse you guys can take initiative and do something outside of the options if you want as well. .... The DM quietly chuckles to himself. "Hehehe" Enjoy .

Lol. Well, Pinkie does sometimes seem to have that thing like Discord where she just knows whats going on, but doens't tell anypony and just gets on with life regardless of what they see. I've been working on pulling that off XD. Personally, I believe that Discord knew excaclty what Tirek was planning back in season five I think it was, and let it play out the way he knew it would all happen. The concert comes later in the day, so don't worry the whole thing will happen. The concert may be comming later, but Celestia's announcment of the event launch is coming soon. You reminded me, I haven't changed the days time in the OOC yet. Bu the way, have you made your decision on what song you want to use for Woody?

Oh, okay then. I see.

Then you should have been more specific. But why would your character talk about making new spells all calm like when there is a worried angel like pony in front of them talking about a horrid event that may come later. Does Techno not care enough, or is it something else? Plus, you didn't even respond to her direct question to you. You need to be more specific about what you mean Techno. We can't have the other players and myself being confused because you didn't say something the way you meant to.

@Techno Universal What are you talking about? She can already see into the future (as per the post and her profile). @Techno Universal Please change it again. She can already see into the future, she needs no spell for it.
