"Ok, either she learned to teleport within the last hour, or she seriously undervalued her abilities. And if your talking about what appears to be the princess, Bliss, ya I saw it. I told you, my head is fine which means ain't nothing getting past me." Levitating Belle, he says. "Shall we go and say hi? And if we do, let's find somewhere to put Belle. Not trying to offend anyone here but levitating a pony, it ain't easy, for.me at.least."

"Why don't you take her outside. She could get hurt being levitated through this big crowd, not to mention it might take a while to find Lightning Bliss therein. I can find her and bring her out, or if you'd rather I'll stay outside with Belle and you can come back in and look for her. If nothing will get past you, then it might be easier for you to find her." She paused and gave a slight laugh. "Then again, I suppose a rainbow-accented alicorn can't be too hard to find."

 

As she spoke, her now restless pet removed himself from his pony's mane and buzzed around her and Mirror, eventually perching on Mirror's head.

Luna had been hovering over when she spotted the unicorn she knew to be Silver Tongue. After hearing his panting worries and concerns, she smiled to him and stated. "Fear not Silver Tongue, I believe the matter has been well taken care of. Come!" She suddenly levitated Silver Tongue up, and carried him back to the Galla. "Try not to overly exert yourself, besides..." she pointed to the ball room where apparently after an hour or so of being absent, was Lightning Bliss standing once again at the galla. "Looks like Bliss decided to return after all. Enjoy yourself good Silver." She nodded to him thoughtfully, then went to go find her sister Celestia.

 

-- In the Ball Room --

 

Bliss blinked abruptly as she regathered herself of where she was. After a moment, she shook her head and giggled to herself. "Darn you Nights Hoopla... could have warned me before teleporting me miles away from home to the gala!" She shook her head of her husband's chaotic gestures, and quickly trotted to the table to grab a much needed glass of fruit punch.

 Silver Tongue then rejoined  the group he first met and saw Belle unconscious, supported by someone else, and decided to help the best way he could "Hey, did you try throwing some water on her face?".

[Concerto Dusk 240]

Struggling to hold Belle, he turns to Silver. "I would, but it is takeing all of my concentration to hold her. I am not very good at levitating ponies." Putting her down, he leans on a chair. "Ok, time for plan B" he says, wondering why the bird chose to use him as a perch. He didn't mind, but itvwas unusual for an animal to like him at all. Excet dogs. Dogs always seemed to live him... "ah damn it. My mind is losing it's sanity. He says. Anyways I do nit want to be near her when she wakes uo if we use water. I saw what she can do and Ibdo not want to die tonight."

Eloquence stood in front of Belle a bit protectively, eyeing the two stallions. "Now now, I'm sure there's no need for that. I think she just needed a bit of rest after, well, everything. If you think she should be awoken, however, I'm sure it can be done gently." She turned to Belle and attempted to gently nudge her awake.

Standing away from Belle, he wats cautiously. "I do nit want to get kicked. Pkease celestia don't let me get kicked or hit or anything. I like living. I really do." He says praying for his saftey from the psychotic mare.

((OOC: My OC got his ticket from a fighting competition. The story of how he got to the Gala is a bit long, so I will put a link when I finish writing it down. Edit: fixed some grammar.))

 

After what was quite a difficult quest, Little Antler had finally succeeded at entering the Gala. And it was worth it: the castle of Canterlot was even more impressive from the inside.

 

He looked at the fancy ponies walking around the place: mares dressed in dresses, stallions wearing tuxedos. The environment was also pretty sophisticated, the little child admiring the smooth colored walls and the nice music filling the environment.

 

Right at the first room he noticed a wall mirror. He stopped a little, standing besides it: the short and young caribou was completely naked, except by the black bow tie in his neck. His clothing seemed kinda poor in comparison to the other ponies, but now it was too late to consider changing it. He also didn't have the money to buy something better anyway.

 

He stopped, fixing the bow tie that was a bit out of place. His belly and his leg were still bruised, but thankfully his fur was covering them. The only thing that was really attention-getting was his small pair of antlers, the fact being that he was the only one who had them. He also hadn't saw any other caribous entering through the gate. Hopefully this wouldn't bring unnecessary attention to him.

 

Well, nonetheless he was at the Gala. Now the question is: what should he do here?

 

Before he could think of something to do, his belly immediately answered it by giving a small growl. Antler suddenly remembered that the whole day he hadn't eaten anything... and the scent of food was starting to fill his nostrils. His mouth started to salivate, his body demanding sustenance. Well, eating sounded perfect. He started following the scent of food, advancing deeper into the party...

She sipped her cup in silence, giving off a clear aura she didn't want to be disturbed by others just yet. Still trying to grasp the fact her husband had teleported her with realitive ease back to the gala made her frown up some. "I mean I can only teleport myself 2 miles and that barely gets me to the fields of our homes from here..." she shrugged and finished her punch, then gestured the barkeep for another.

 

Then abruptly she spotted a gray unicorn dressed sharply, with a firm look in his eye. The well he held himself spoke of power and confidence that didn't make her as confortable though. It reminded her too much of Chase Razor. She quickly took her punch with levitation and lightly trotted her way out of the ballroom, when she suddenly spotted for familiar ponies, all gathered around an obvious tired Belle.

 

"Oh dear...they probably don't even want to see me after I just...up and left...Maybe I better duck down for awhile..." Trying to make herself as small as possible, she turned away from the group with her ears tucked down, heading for the performing areas where supposedly the wonderbolts were going to put on a display of flight acerobatics.

Eloquence furrowed her brow at the still sleeping Belle. "She isn't waking up. This isn't good." She was pretty sure she remembered learning that bad things could happen if somepony with a concussion fell asleep and refused to wake up. "Come on Belle, come back to us..." she said, nudging a bit harder now. "Ok, maybe the water wasn't a horrible idea."

Belle groans a little as someone shook her awake.  Belle was sleeping good too. Belle groans again and curses a little in a Prench as she sit's up with a hoof on her head. "Merde..." Her eyes open but they were still a little blurry. She looked over to the pony who was shaking her. But she had to move her head closer to the pony to get a better look. She was almost touching noses when she saw it was Eloquence. A large blush form on her face as she backed away a little to give her some space. "Oh, sorry Eloquence!"

Star wasn't surprised that the unicorn shook him off, he followed him for a second. 

"I don't know much about you, but I know that one stallion can't win a war, all a single stallion can do is end it. Good-bye. " 

He spoke his final words and departed away from Chase and headed going to the ball room, on his way he aproached a random guard. 

 

"Hello officer, could you do me a favor? If you see a pretty dark blue coated with a white mane mare by the name of Star Catcher, please tell her to go to the ball room. Thank you. " 

 

Not even taking a second to listen to what the guard had to say he just continued on his way. 

 

As he reached the entrance the first thing he decided to do was get greeted by the Princesses, after all he didn't have to hide from them, and wanted to see their reaction. 

 

He came up the stairs while waiting in line, gladly the gala already passed a bit so it was not that big. Not a long time later he reached his destination. 

 

"Welcome to the Grand Galloping Gala, Dark Star. " Spoke Celestia, Luna just giving them both an unsure look. 

 

"Glad to be welcomed, I promise I won't cause any major trouble. " Dark Star replied. 

 

"I hope you hold to your promise. " 

 

He bowed and walked away, as he entered he felt a familiar tingling in his horn, something that he remembered from the last gala...

 

"What, no, this was suppose to go awa-" He thought to himself as he suddenly teleported himself away from the ball room.

In front of him were some ponies, all seemed to just went threw something, and with deeper inspection he notice that they were the friends of Princess Lightning Bliss who "fought" Chase not that long ago. 

 

"Ehh, greetings. My horn randomly teleported me here, but my horn seems to know better then me where I should be, so is there anything I can help with?" He spoke up and gave them a small bow in their direction. 

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

Not wanting to use all her magic in an effect to 'escape' the crowds, Bliss decided to teleport herself just half way across the gardens, into a more open area with a view of the city. It was at the opening where the typical season Garden Parties were held for sophisticated unicorns to mingle and establish with one another. But tonight it was a bit deserted since the main Gala was happening mostly in the ball room.

 

She took a seat next to a rail, and watched the night unfold, admiring the beauty of the city and the cool night air. "*Sighs* Such a lovely night, but I don't understand why I feel the need to spend it alone...Other then what happened previously with Chase..." She groaned to herself as she hung her front hooves off the rail, looking more immature then anything. "I can't just keep facing him whenever he finds me...there's got to be some established rules...or boundary with him...Unless I beat him to a bloody pulp he's never gonna back down...And he knows I won't chance hurting him that bad...unless..." She thought back to the previous fight...how she watched in horror as Belle was viciously bucked in the face by Chase...and thrown into the mud like she was nothing...She remembered the anger given by her father...swell in her legs faster then she could control them. "A Princess of Peace needs to have control with her rage though..." she said to herself, "or...what if that was meant to be...Isn't the fact I'm the alicorn of peace...meaning I have to fight to defend it too?"

@@Little Antler,

 

After several minutes of staring at the scenery, her stomach gave an audioable growl of frustration. Had she'd been in a crowd, she was sure the noise would have attracked some giggles. She sighed heavily though, not sure what the Gala had to offer in treats, she was craving something sweet though. It was a wonder she wasn't badly overweight, she having the biggest sweet tooth in her family. As she got up and took off into the sky to make time to get to the tables inside the castle, she couldn't help but remember an inside family joke about her and her mother when it came to fudge.

 

"You put fudge in front of these two, and they will eat till they die," she remembered the quote from her brother. She shook her head and let out another giggle as she entered the ballroom, flying just over head and coming to a soft landing at the tables, right next to an odd looking pony with a brown coat and short tail. Not thinking much of it, she kept to herself and searched the table, hoping to spot something sweet.

 

Nothing seemed to jump out at her immiedatly on the left side of the table. All she could see was crackers with small olives on top, or cheese with a bit of humus to dip in. All was either salty or savory and it only made her tongue feel dry staring at it. Then abrupty she turned her head to the right, not looking where she was going...She felt a sudden whack against a firm pair of horns, against her singlar alicorn horn. She took a step back,

 

"So sorry!" She said to the seemingly a brown unicorn, "I was just eager to find something sweet before my stomach gave out a-" she suddenly stopped then realizing who she'd bumped into. It was one thing to meet a nonpony guest. Blissy had been around gryphons, dragons, draconequus, wolves and many other nonpony beings...She'd even befriend a few buffalo who traveled in Appleloosa when she was living there as a filly...But this was the first time ever, she met a cariabu. "Oh um...So sorry, I thought you were a unicorn and...ah...I never met a cariabu before." She could barely contain her excitment, a spakle of enthusiasm and joy that she met a new being rised up in her belly. "Oh gosh my manners ahem, I'm Lightning Bliss, and it's an honor to meet a cariabu for the first time. Mr?"

She laughed at Mirror's question. "I think it's tradition. One group of friends has to make trouble at the Gala. I guess this year that group is us."

 

She politely greeted Dark Star, as if he'd just walked over rather than teleporting right in front of them. 'Why not?' She thought to herself. 'This whole night has been strange. Why fight it?'. She extended a hoof. "While you're randomly appearing here, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to introduce ourselves. I'm Eloquence."

Little Antler had successfully followed the scent of food to a big room. Inside of it was a table filled with strange geometry things, seemingly like little breads. Alongside them were little olives and near were container with a little of cheese. Olives and cheese were pretty rare to come to his home, but he remembered that they were pretty good. He wasn't sure about those little squares and circles, through.

 

As he questioned if he really wanted to put those things inside him, his stomach reminded that he was still empty. When hungry anything goes, at least that was what his father used to say. For someone who was used to eat winter lichen those things shouldn't prove much of a challenge.

 

He stared at them, wondering what would be the best way to start eating. He watched what some of the other ponies were doing: some of those with wings would use them as grapple to hold the food, others with mysterious horns in their face would make colored magic, bringing the food into their mouths. Those who lacked both appendages would somehow grab them with their hooves, or grab the things with their mouths and carefully push them inside.

 

Deciding what would be the best method, Antler approached one of the little squares and bited it.He was too strong, the cracker breaking in half. At least half of it was safely inside his mouth, ready to be crushed. Said and done, he quickly chewed and gulped it down. He preferred more tasteful things, but still better than lichen.

 

He then approached again the table, taking the rest of the cracker inside of him. It kinda of seemed a lot of effort to eat something so small.

 

He was still hungry through... and there were a lot of those edible squares. He knew that manners usually demanded that guests ate with moderation, but it was really hard to get inside there. The minimum he could ask for was getting a full stomach.

 

Sending care out of the window he started to eat a lot of crackers. Hopefully those things would be enough to keep his body going. As he merciless attacked the table, however, he felt someone bumping behind him.

 

Turning back he saw a white pony with some kind of horn on her head, a pair of wings. He quickly turned back, gulping down whatever was in his mouth and using his hoof to clear any remnant of crackers that were on his face. He then turned back, giving a smile and saying: "Hello miss Lightning Bliss."

 

Remembering pretty well his manners, he gave her a small bow. It was the minimum courtesy someone should do to another... or at least that was what he believed. "My name is Little Antler, of house Typhoon. I am Little Antler because I have a pair of antlers and I am pretty small."

 

'Maybe this is a good opportunity to figure out what those things are.', he thought. He kept seeing ponies using those horns to do strange things with some kind of magic.

 

"You also have some type of horn on your head... does it have some kind of special power?", he asked. "I keep seeing ponies releasing some kind of energy from them, which they use to pick things without touching."

Bliss cocked her head to Little Antler thoughtfully, thinking he was very similar to what the tribe buffalo were like in Appleloosa, with an obvious huge difference. Is this the first time he's ever seen ponies? Or even an alicorn for that matter? Does he even know what I am?? Her eyes beamed with joy at that notion, a being who didn't know her 'status' and therego would except her for who she was. Taking that carefully and gratefully into her mindset, she replied happily.

 

"Oh, my horn?" She beamed and went cross eyed some staring up at it, "it can...um do I guess what we call 'magic.' Thought I'm not very skilled at it to be honest...though alot of ponies here would think I am...but it's a false assumption." She pawed the ground a bit, but didn't think too much of it and returned her question to him in return. "So Little Antler? This your first time to Canterlot? I...well," she pawed the ground again, her wings fluttered a bit in shyness then softly folded back up, "you just seem new in the eyes. Like you are just now observing pony kind for the first time. Have you never seen unicorns or pegasi?"

He looked a bit up, thinking how to best answer her second question. "Yup, I am kinda new in these lands. It was not much time ago that I have saw pegasi and unicorns. I knew about ponies, but I didn't know much about those..."

 

"I take that pegasi are those with wings... and unicorns are those with horns. But I still haven't figured out how they work." He added, before continuing: "Magic kinda fill this gap... I think."

Her big ears weren't helping either.

 

"I'm not an average pony I won't lie... I just, don't like to make a big deal about it." She again tried to explain herself. "I wasn't always the average pegasus in my youth. I have these...well, birth defects," she then proceeded to flick her ears up and down a few times, to show just how bit they were, almost three times the average, even bigger then Little Antler's. Then her tail swung forward, revealing its long gryphon length along with her rainbow fluff. "But now I've ascended into an alicorn... I guess I'm even more unsual."

'How does exactly someone become a completely new race?', he wondered. He wasn't necessary oblivious to magic, some creatures of the tundra being magical in nature. Still, becoming a new race... that was pretty interesting to ponder. A mix of three races... did their power mix together making a being of impressive power... or did they mix in a creature with both powers and flaws?

 

Her body was pretty different from the average ponies, was this also result of being an alicorn? He watched as she talked, kind of cringing when she said birth defects. They didn't seem to be defects for him. Defects sounded like they were something undesirable, like being born without a leg. They were actually cute features. Well, most of the ponies he met were naturally cute.

 

Antler felt compelled to say something, anything. It was kind of sad that someone who had beaten so many challenges still didn't know how to use sweet words... but perhaps those things came naturally.

 

Little Antler put a smile on his face, the kid caribou replying: "I wouldn't call those defects miss. They kinda of fit into you. I wouldn't mind having those."

 

He had a lot of other questions about alicorns. Where they came from? How did she exactly become one? And many others... but he noticed that she didn't want to talk about it. He concluded it was better to let it go.

 

Answering her new question he said: "Yes, miss, I never had come this far before. I came from the tundra, the harsh snow. Our kind doesn't actually has much contact with yours. We mostly prefer to stay in our own borders."

 

He stopped a little, before adding: "This was my first chance to be so far away from home. Things are so much more colorful here... it's feel strange being able to walk without worrying about getting into trouble."
