War released a breath one he had practically been holding since visiting Cantorlot. He was finally done with his business there and heading back to ponyville. He had been summoned to speak about his siblings progress, he was glad everything seemed to have gone over without incident. Now he eagerly flew back to see his brothers hoping they hadn't done any damage.

 

As he was getting close the weather seemed to be acting up, at first he ignored it powering his way through but soon it became to much. He was forced to land a little way out from the town. He was very confused by the current events, what the heck where the Pegasi up to? He had a very difficult time landing his wings still wanting to catch air even when folded due to their size. He had to slowly make his way down by folding his wings falling then opening them again to slow his momentum.

 

Finally his hooves met the earth and he stomped annoyed by this. His wings continued to collect air and nearly topple him over as he approached the town to the best of his abilities. He ended up taking his armor out of a bag he had packed for Cantorlot and wearing it for the extra weight, making sure he stayed on the ground.

 

Placing a wing in front of himself to block the wing he continued, his mane and tail moving wildly in the storm. Those Pegasi where going to get an aggravated letter from him. Quickly the wind became overwhelming and he realized he could go no further. He needed to find shelter somewhere near the city, it was hard to see in this wind but he walked a slow march battling the elements until a few buildings came into view. He made a beeline for the closest building choosing it over the hospital since he wouldn't need a hospital. Upon getting a closer look he could see some pony had fortified it to the best of their abilities, but It looked sloppy, rushed, must not have had much time to prepare for this. That ruined the weather theory since the Pegsai would surly warn the town if there was going to be a tornado. Getting closer he could hear voices inside, the wind made them impossible to understand but he was sure some pony was in there. He didn't wish to bust in on someone so instead of breaking in and scaring every pony he walked to the entrance and knocked on the door hoping some pony would let him inside.

Rapid Wind found himself wondering just what the mayor and Stargazer had been joking about and thought about asking Stargazer, but then thought finding a new job for himself in Ponyville was more important. Plus, he had already had seven minutes worth of looking. The most tempting offer he had seen so far was to go and work as a handy pony for the spa. Ever since he had lost confidence in flight, Rapid had been doing odd jobs which didn't involve flying and the handy pony job seemed doable without much flight. However, it wasn't his only interest. A job at a cafe also drew his attention as he had been a waiter before and though he felt he shouldn't be interested, a position amongst the weather team was available.

 

It caused him great conflict to even consider it since it would definitely involve flying, but did he want to be a mostly grounded Pegasus for the rest of his life? Rapid Wind didn't know, but rather than stand around and make Stargazer wait, he made a mental note of all three jobs.

 

 "Yeah, I've seen three possibles, I'll get started on applying from them tomorrow," Rapid Wind said as he thought it would be best to explore the rest of Ponyville first and he remembered he still hadn't visited Twilight's castle and that had the potential to be interesting.

"Something the dream guards will pay for if I get my paws on them."

 

Zinthar was irritated, bordering on angry. It was bad enough that they had been ditched in the middle of an unknown part of the dream halls - or in some shifting dream for all he knew - but the bombs? The fire? His fur?!

 

He could feel the ends of his hairs singed and smoking a little, felt the hunger rise again after using some of the little energy he still had left after all the time trapped here, and his fur... His precious, precious fur were at places burned down to his skin. He looked ridiculous! Especially since his tails now resembled more that of several rats than his own as they had been hit the worst and lost all the fur... Grrr, if he ever got his paws on those who did this, they would regret every second of it!

 

It might be that his fur would return, but he was proud of his shiny coat, and like many cats, he were vain. Whatever else had happened to him over the years, he were still a cat at the heart of things, and situations like this showed it well.

 

The anger was also one of the reasons why the little power he had left radiated as it did, though Crescent should not be close enough to feel the effect of it. It would have been rather obvious if he did, but instead he looked more wondering about what was with the zeppelin and the flying castle, which Zinthar did as well in his own way. Though his thoughts were on destroying the both of them if he had the option. Sadly though he didn't. Not anymore.

 

"I don't know why they felt the need to put on this display in their little theatre of a world, but if it's a show they want, they can get it. Starting with destroying something on this little... Set, of theirs."

 

He seemed pretty intend on getting something destroyed regardless right now, though the energy was toning down rapidly. He didn't have the peak of rage going anymore to support it, and not the reserves either. Which was likely for the best for both him and Crescent all things considered.

Whilst Ziggy spoke, Fah'lina got done with the apple and started to yawn a little before taking flight, looking around for a clear spot. The ones that Serenade had picked out did catch her eye a little, but in the end, she found a little place at a high nook or shelf where she placed down and curled up. She usually slept in trees as it was safer to have high ground, so it was the most comfortable to her.

Stargazer was curious as to what he might have picked out of jobs on the billboard, thinking mostly that it was some kind of manual labour as he headed towards the door to continue their trip around town. He had heard something about the weather team needing some help, but so did the Apple family at times, or there could be a delivery gig if he was a particularly fast flyer likely.  He hadn't checked the billboard himself so he wasn't sure, but something akin to that seemed fitting enough to the pegasi.

"Keep in mind that most does not appreciate being bitten, Omen. It hurts them."

 

Her daughter nodded and scratched her scalp a little with her hoof, which prompted the little... Well, in spite of a better word, Drake, to claw at it. Something she didn't really take much notice of.

Mother chuckled a little to herself and leaned in,putting her claw down and calmly running it over the creature's head, which seemed to please it well.

Both the sisters now got a weary eye towards the changeling. There was several reasons of distrust for the race that could be the reason for that, but really, the mention of her being a royal changeling was the root of it all now. A fleeting changeling was something they could believe in, but... A royal, without her hive? Something was wrong here.

 

Void was about to say something about that when Null spoke instead, thinking it better if they just... Ignored that for a bit. At least until they found their stuff, as that was really a bigger danger to them right now than a changeling, royal or not.

 

"Yeeeah... So, I'm just gonna put a pin in that for now and go along with things, and then see for myself as time goes by. We don't have the luxury of trust, even if the stories we heard about Equestria is true.

 

Anyway, do you know where there might be a waterfall in here? Please? Cursed objects lying around and all that."

 

You could hear Null were still wary, though she did accept things a little as it were right now. She'd see for herself, as stated, but she would keep the plans on what to do if it turned out to be a trap a little on the side burn for now, instead of going pro-active and clock this one out, just to be sure.

 

Besides... Hitting a foal, royal changeling or not, was not something sitting well with her. Felt wrong to even think about it really.

The Night Guard wasn't his keeper after all, so not like it mattered in the grand picture what he decided to do. Only if he were on parole was there really a need to know really.

It would take a bit of time, but eventually, they'd reach a place that seemed to work as the late night entertainment place in town, and for tonight the stage appeared to be filled with machines and a unicorn with headphones on dancing a little to herself while music blasted out around the place. A lot of ponies was in there, dancing, some drinking cider, and apparently having a great time. At least, this is what it looked like when Ziggy popped her head in and looked before pulling her head back out again and looking at Serenade.

 

"Bit noisy, but I'm sure she's in here somewhere. She had a sort of neon-white... Head scarf? Some piece of cloth wrapped around her head. Kinda like a sweat band, but not.

She sounded a bit nervous at the end, but... Well, could you blame her? hard to tell what a siren would feel like around these sort of places when she had never even heard of one before Serenade. It was a learning experience, and she'd really prefer to ask a bit in advance - though, she should perhaps have asked Way sooner - rather than seeing bad results and trying to learn from that.

Lin inspected the creature and delved into the recesses of her memories, hoping to find information that could explain its behavior. Such a thing hatching from an egg, or something familiar to it, would likely mean that whatever it is that the creature sees first will almost always consider it its parent. The nipping would either say it is hungry or showing affection.

Oh , you had Got to be kidding me!

 

The thought was the second that rolled through Happy's head, right after the obligatory *Oh bugger, a royal guard* that any changeling who hadn't slept under a rock the last few years should have had as well.

 

The attack on Canterlot had been widely told amongst the hives that hadn't been part of the unionised force under Queen Chrysalis, and so had the measures that Equestria had suddenly taken against their kind. Wards to mess with transformation magic, more guards in some towns to scope out anypony acting suspicious, etc. etc.

 

Basically, being a changeling in Equestria these days were almost as harsh as being in the Badlands, though since they still needed love, having to go to the country was still more or less a forced action for those that had their hives near it. His own were not part of those, as they were situated in more closed off spaces to the north and sometimes to the west, but supplies were scarce sometimes, so a frisky run towards a country that oozed love was often tempting. Which, after Chrysalis had ruined the nice order of *sometimes, a few ponies go missing and a few townsfolk can feel a little drained* was becoming a huge pain in the flank.

 

He knew this when he had entered the country, and had thus far been lucky enough to not meet a guard that found him suspicious or a town with the right measures against his kin, yet meeting one always got him somewhat nervous. Hence, seeing this armored one - even if the uniform seemed a bit off - got him shaken a bit beneath the somewhat calm layer he showed the others. For all he knew, the strange looks were because this was one of the guards for the new princess, who might chose attire like this to separate her lackeys from the others.

 

The second thought were born from irritation, and the reality in this going from the quiet place he had planned when he had *handled* a few others that looked for a place to wait this out, to what it would have been if he had just let them stay. Minus the sobbing, scared looks they'd likely have over these.

 

Still, faced with this... Pony, he had to try and act his best. Nothing suspicious, nothing shown, just keep calm, and act like a pony.

 

"Why hello there. I'm Happy Hour, and this is Cyan Flare and her brother Golden Spell. What're your name mate?"

 

He raised a hoof in greeting and sent the larger pony a cheeky, friendly grin. He wasn't That much larger, as Happy's pony form was a bit taller than the regular size ponies, but the armor clad pony still got some height over his head.

Let the game proceed, long as he got to act out on somepony. Somepony who, seemingly, were called Mall, as they were likely going to end up knocking the *evil regent* around, or whatever was the case.

 

As for the suspicion from these, he could hardly care less. Most responses he had gotten when around other, non-horrors, had been obedience, fear, anger, or worship. And suspicion came under the broad definition of fear, and one he had been met with plenty enough times to feel a little jaded towards it. It had irked him a lot back then, but time had helped his perspective and his short temper issues.

 

Well,some at least.

 

The pony-sized cat took a step towards the mare and again let the words roll of his tongue, carrying the same undertone of anger but iotherwise running smoothly.

 

"So, tell me, who is this Mall, and how do I get up there to make him regret scorching my fur?"

@@Blitz Boom, Sereande nods, and quickly heads over to where she's not in direct sight of the door. "That was loud. Way louder then I expected."  She sits down, "I'm fine...really. But yeah, if you can go and get her and bring her out that would be great. I would like to avoid that....music, if you can call it that."

@@Blitz Boom, Astral looked around. "There is a waterfall near my house." She said pointing in the general direction of her house. "Which isn't that far from here." She put her hoof back down, the lack of magic from Null and Void now worried her after it seemed like Void covered something up with a cough. "This may seem like a strange question, why aren't you emitting magic?" She asked gesturing to the two of them.

Lin looked at the little creature once more and replied, "It takes a while to get used to. I still wonder how mother birds know what their children want without them saying."

Sen continued, remembering what had transpired prior to Omen's arrival. There is still a matter of Lin's magic. 

"We should proceed to a place where my sister could get the hostile magics residing in her cleaned out, or find someone to help us out in that task. She says she has a lead, a cave west of the Everfree Forest where she encountered our clan's lost magics. It's as good a place as any to start." 

 

As he ended, his voice slowed down, almost to a standstill. Deep down, he knew Lin too well. He felt he would lose her to magic one way or another. Whether or not this would be a good thing for her, he knew not. It would only be a matter of time before he found out. He didn't ruminate on it any further.

"Thank you" he stated with relief and trotted in behind the unicorn. Looking back to make sure the door was closed firmly before taking in the room. Besides the Unicorn he noted the Pegasus mare and earth stallion, they seemed to be the only others in the building.

 

He waved at the mare as she waved at him. "Yeah I have never seen weather quite like it, I hope the rest of the ponyville citizens made it in doors safely." He replied to Golden Spells comment before turning his attention the pony introducing everyone.

 

"Greetings Happy Hour, Golden Spell, Cyan Flare, I am called War, strange name I know." He smiled walking to a corner near one of the fortified windows to peer out if he could.

 

He sat down using a hoof to try and tame the mess the wind made of his mane and tail. He began to quietly take notes on his shelter mates. He had been in ponyville only a short while and wasn't sure if he had seen these particular ponies before, perhaps they were from out of town? He didn't know he hadn't got to meet many locals yet, he could be wrong. Studying them they seemed friendly enough, they let him in after all and he wasn't exactly the friendliest looking pony.

 

Then again he could say the same of the one who introduced himself as Happy Hour, he was tall nearly the same height as War and look pretty scarred up leading War to assume he probably knew his way around a fight. Of course that didn't mean anything, his cutie mark suggested he was skilled in his name sake...which War was confused by...how did his parents now what he was going to be talented in to name him something like that? That was suspicious, well maybe it was just War he was just learning pony customs. He forced the thought out of his mind to study the others.

 

The unicorn had a tree, War didn't know what talent to link that to, Herbalist? Lumberjack? And his sister, he couldn't make hers out at all. He stared a moment trying to figure it out but looked away after catching himself just encase that was considered rude. "Anypony have any idea what is going on out there? I don't believe this storm was scheduled."
