SummerHaven

@Scare Effect “You must have some interesting stories then!” Summer said happily. The bartender raised an eyebrow at the two ponies. Summer tucked the book back into her side bag. ”Oh, I’m Summer Haven. But you can just call me Summer of course.” She said, finishing up her drink.

@Battenberg @Pr0m4NV14 “As far as we know-“ Summer was cut off by the weight of a bandit pony crashed down on top of her. Summer struggled to try to get up, but the bandit held her down firmly with his hoof. ”Mike...use this!” Summer tried to shout but her voice came out weak. “She used her magic to roll the syringe over to his feet. “It’s still got some anesthesia left in it!”

@Scare Effect “Well...” Summer said rooting through her side bag. She pulled out a book and flipped through the pages until she found what she was looking for. She slid the book over for the mare to see. “There is this story about a powerful mage that supposedly lives somewhere in this forest, in somewhat of a hidden sanctuary.” Summer’s eyes lit up as she spoke of it. “The story says that if anypony is able to find her, she will share some of power with them, which would be incredibly useful! I guess it’s somewhat of an urban legend. But the thougt of it intrigued me enough to come check it out for myself.” Summer took a sip of her drink, fully expecting the pony to think she was insane for attempting such an endeavor.

@Scare Effect “That’s pretty cool!” Summer said enthusiastically. “Are you here for work or for fun?” She sipped her drink as the griffin motioned for a tip. She sighed and gave him a couple bits. “I could tell you what I’m looking for here, but you’d probably think I’m crazy.” She said with a weak laugh.

@Battenberg (Did you miss my last post?) @Pr0m4NV14 “I’ve got an idea. I just need you to buy me a bit of time!” Summer said as she started rummaging through her saddlebag. As Victoria battled the bandit, Summer mixed together a syrum from the medicines she had in her bag. Suddenly the bandit leader stopped dead in his tracks. His knees buckled and he tumbled to the floor of the car, revealing a small syringe floating behind him. “That will only keep him out for about 10 minutes.” Summer shouted over the wind in the tunnel. “But it should give us time to figure out what to do with him.”

4 here! France, Spain, Italy, and US (where I live)

@Scare Effect “Oh I’m just looking for...uh... something.” Summer said nervously as she shoved the rolled up map further into her side bag. Summer sat down while she waited for her order. “I suppose it’s rather obvious that I’m not from around here huh?” Summer noticed the gleam of the badge. “Are you...an officer?”

@Scare Effect The loud commotion startled Summer, and she turned around to see what was going on. She saw a grey mare defending herself from a bunch of angry griffons. Summer slowly backed up trying not to draw attention. She backed into a chair which made a loud screeching noise against the floor. This, to her displeasure, drew the attention of several ponies around her including the bartender, who also happened to be a griffin. ”Are you gonna buy something or keep standing around being useless?” The bartender squawked at Summer. ”Yes, sorry.” Summer said fumbling for the menu. Her attention was still fixated on the fight between the grey mare and the griffons.

@Scare Effect Summer Haven looked around curiously as she entered the small village. She was tired as she had been traveling on foot all day, but she was both excited and proud of herself to have found it on her own. As she walked down the main road in the village, she began looking for somewhere to take a break and rest. She spotted a tavern and decided to check it out. As Summer entered, she immediately noticed all the rough looking ponies and griffons. The green unicorn felt a bit intimidated and out of place, but she decided to put on a smile and approach the counter anyway.

THANK GOODNESS. I feel so much better about gen 5 now. I was worried they would slightly alter the characters we know and love and make the new generation out of them. Now I can rest easy knowing they will be new characters!

Yes. The idea of an “evil” fire horse wanting to be petted is just cute haha

“Sunhorse” cracked me up waaaay more than it should have... But anyways....I voted yes but at the same time, I don’t think it matters very much.

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg Summer was panting in exhaustion as their fight with the mob of bandits came to an end. “As much as I’d love to celebrate,” Summer looked around, “we really need to find a way down from here.” The train was picking up speed, unaware of the two ponies standing on the roof. Summer tried to anchor herself as a gust of wind nearly sent her flying off the train. “Thankfully Mike took care of the leader of those goons so we shouldn’t have to worry about-“ Suddenly everything went pitch black as they sped into a tunnel. Summer ignited her horn illuminating the their surroundings with a soft yellow glow. ”That should help a bit. What are you looking at?” She said unaware of the armed pony sneaking up behind her.

This question is so random and specific lol. But I guess Rarity would be the most qualified..?

Chop filler filler

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg As Summer made her jump, she stumbled as she landed on the other train car and fell onto the hard metal. She braced herself, fully expected to the bandits to be on her at any moment. Instead she heard the sounds of a struggle from behind her. Summer turned around just in time to see Victoria kick one of the bandits over the side of the train. She was overjoyed at the sight of Victoria, but the poor mare was outnumbered nevertheless. Two of the bandit ponies had jumped on her back and pinned her down. Summer knew she had to do something to help her. She used her levitation magic to pull one of the ponies off of Victoria. The bandit squirmed around in surprise at what just happened. Unsure of what to do, Summer floated him over the side of the train and dropped him into the snow. She then used the last of her energy to jump back to the other car and headbutted the other pony off of Victoria. Summer’s horn jabbed into the pony’s side causing him to flinch in pain. This left an opening for Victoria to finish the job.

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg Summer took off running down the length of the train and lead the group away from where Mike would be entering. She hoped none of them were Pegasi, as one could easily outfly her running speed. She peeked over her shoulder to see how close they were. They were a good distance back, but she knew she couldn’t keep this up forever. She scanned the area for possible escape routes, and spotted a ladder leading to the top of the train. She looked back again to see the group were catching up. Summer waited until they were a bit closer and kicked some snow into their eyes to buy herself some time. She then raced over to the ladder and climbed up to the top of the train. She tried to duck down out of sight and gave herself a moment to catch her breath, which didn’t last long. She heard the tapping of hooves against the metal and realized they were climbing up as well. Once the bandit’s head emerged into view with a dagger in his mouth, she knew she was running out of options. Below her, the train started to move which indicated that their plan was a success. This gave her a comforting feeling, which was interrupted when the bandit spoke. ”Nowhere left to run, missy!” She looked around helplessly and noted the distance to the next car over. She wasn’t sure she could make the jump, but the alternative didn’t exactly look appealing. Summer psyched herself up, and much to the surprise of the bandits, leaped onto the next car over.

Which he wanted for

Summer trotted along to the back of the train, so that when they ran out it would give Mike an opening to enter. She then took the stick and started hitting the side of the train with it. The noise echoed against the metal causing a loud commotion. One of the figures walked over and opened the window. He stuck his head out and looked around to see where the noise was coming. The bandit immediately spotted Summer, who made no attempt to hide. "What is going on out here!" The bandit growled. Summer swallowed her fear, and throw the stick at the pony, hitting him in the face. "Why you little!" The angry pony huffed. "You fools let one escape! Get her! Now!" The said the pony who appeared to be in charge. @Pr0m4NV14 ( I'll leave it up to you if they all follow Summer or not) @Battenberg

“I sure hope not!” Summer said trying not to panic. “But if this plan works we will be able to get her out of there.” Summer stared at Mike for a moment until she realized SHE was supposed to be the distraction. ”Oh goodness, I hope they aren’t very smart.” She muttered awhile looking around. She spotted a large stick in the snow and snatched it up with her magic. “Ok tell me when you’re ready.”

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg Immediately after Summer landed, Mike took off running alongside the train. She chased after him hoping he had some sort of plan. ”Where IS everypony? The train staff. If the train is stopped they must know what’s going on right?” She said as they were running. Summer was terrified they would be captured by the bandits, but what worried her most was not knowing WHO was attacking them. She tried to put on her brave face, despite the knot that was forming in her stomach. They galloped to the end of the train where the engine car was. Summer looked up at the daunting locomotive. She thought she could hear voices inside. Summer turned to Mike. “How are we going to get in without them noticing us?”

@Pr0m4NV14 Have the bandits found Mike and Summer yet or are they still inside the train?

Can we PLEASE can some sort of history or backstory on Celestia and Luna? Or just more information on alicorns in general. I would love to see the canon clear up all these questions we have about flurry heart and alicornhood...
