Flamestreak burst from the clouds, cutting through the tepid wind as he rocketed down in the direction of Ponyville at an breakneck pace. Just as Flame was about crash into the earth below him, The Pegasus decelerated and swiftly went to an complete halt. The Stallion landed like a cat on the surface, his heart was still pounding heavily from the exhilarating flight when he landed, Flame took a split second to let the adrenaline run off before continuing. Once he was fully decompressed, he glanced up into the sky. Celestia's sun shone brilliantly throughout the skyline of Ponyville, The glorious light gleamed over the white, puffy clouds and peeked through the small cracks and holes riddled in the clouds foundation, including the large hole which flame had just ripped through. Flame smiled at the site and started trotting, The dirt road of which he was trotting on was all too familiar to him

 

"Ah Ponville, What shall I do today?" He pondered straightening out his wings a little. There was plenty to do in Ponyville, He could have trotted to the town's Theater and see the latest and greatest school play the town had to offer, Or he could try to visit the town's library and check out an interesting book to read while strolling throughout the city. Ultimately, though, his mind (and his stomach) decided on Sugarcube corner, He hadn't eaten much in the past couple of days, and just the mere thought of biting into one of Mr. and Ms Cakes tantalizing confections was making his mouth water. He flapped his wings twice and hurriedly flew to Sugarcube corner  

 

The Flight didn't take long at all and he found himself staring at the entrance in no time flat, Flamestreak open the doors. the smell of the batter and frosting danced through the air and pleasantly hit The crimson Stallion on top of his nose as entered the bakery. As Flame proceeded to the end of the line he noticed the two stallions in front him, One was an Earth pony stallion who had an all light blue coats with a dark blue mane and tail. His mane was altitudinous and looked like it was ripped straight out a video game.

 

Other stallion was a tall, muscular fellow who towered over all of the other ponies in the store, He was bat pony with a pitch black coat and just as dark tail. His wings were even more voluminous than other pony's hair the latter of which, was getting in Flame's face. He tapped the blue pony on the back

"Um your tail is....getting in my mouth." He explained shifting nervous, not wanting to upset or offend the stallion.

Syo's ears drooped as she slowly started to walk with Briar and Brittle back. She was not saying much else as she walked along with the both of them. Syo felt from strain from her hind legs then she dissipated her staff and got on all fours and started to walk.

 

"You know, Briar, I never wanted to make anyone cry or upset. I may be an immature and easily excited kid but I never want to put anyone in danger... again." Syo said as she walked. "I think Seamore is about done with the collection, I will go on ahead first."

 

Syo dashed forward and moved gracefully ahead and soon disappearing behind the corner and then back to the room where Seamore is.

 

"Are you done already?" Syo asked as she went close to the sack to take a look inside.

Sole was taken off guard by Dyr's 'favor', and was quickly hooked and pulled inside like a fish. Before he could think of a witty remark, like "ouch" for example, a disembodied voice and the shiny new threat interrupted his train of thought. Looking up at the bird-like monster, his first action wasn't taking up a fighting stance, as he normally would. Instead he laughed right in it's face "Your name's Jeeves? Seriously?" He said between fits of laughter.

 

After another moment or two, he sighed "Damn, I needed to hear that. It's been a while since I've fought something with such a stupid name" he mocked, before cracking his knuckles and preparing for a fight. "Hey, is 'Jeeves' here immune to my magic as well?" He asked Dyr, using the beasts name sarcastically. He all but ignored the voice. They'd have to take care of the present threat first anyways.

Allure took in a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Everything I've just been through. Everything I've had to go back and face. Everything..."  Her children being in danger. The annihilation of her race by pony kind. Her failures as a changeling. Her defeat and submission at the hooves of Chrysalis. All the anguish she went though. All the determination she had to proceed. All that she wished to do to protect her loved ones. The images flashed by, before the began to twist, darkening further and further with each twist, before the split off into the links of chain.

"Okay, now that the chain is wrapped around the door, focus on a cherished memory or a loved one. Use the strength that that thought gives you to bind the chain to itself in the form of a lock, like so." Charlie demonstrated by focusing his thoughts on his memory of Vivid agreeing to make a body for him. The memory had a warm glow that radiated happiness. He then shaped the memory into a quite strong looking padlock, binding his chain with it.

"Don't worry about it. And there's need to think of me as royalty in any way. I'm a guard, not a Prince, and wandering in her majesty's castle doesn't mean I have grown to think I need to be addressed like she should.

 

And I apologise if it seems like I was expecting you to speak in another way before. I was just a bit surprised considering how I've heard everypony else talk around here so far, though it isn't my place to judge."

 

Stargazer gave Copper a small smile as he lowered his hoof after the hoofshake, thinking a few new things about the pony.

 

It was nothing bad, and he wasn't judging how he knew guards as it wasn't like they were a closely-knit circle of ponies that didn't interact with others, and even if it did turn out to be bad, he wasn't in a position to judge considering he had started off training for guard duty as an alternative to prison.

 

No, it was just a few minor things about how he seemed to interact, and a few thoughts about what kinds of guards he had run into that expected him to speak to them like he would the royals, along with a few, assorted things here and there. He had the inkling to think it was Princess Celestia's guards that Copper might refer to though, but the Night guard was not without their fair share of stuck up ponies, so it was anyponys guess right now really.

 

@,

 

It was about that point that he took notice of the pony behind them that spoke of getting a tail in his mouth. It seemed like a regular Pegasus stallion from the looks of things - if he went by Ponyville standards anyway - standing behind them near the entrance to the bakery, though he wasn't sure why he was standing this close.

 

It took a few seconds before he registered the other things around them, and it started to fall into place. Amidst his somewhat tired state and speaking with Copper, he hadn't noticed that they had become the de facto end of a line leading towards the counter of the establishment until this one had shown up and instead made them a part of the chain. Now that he did take it all in though, he figured he might as well just follow through with it. He had been debating whatever or not to get a minor treat and a cup of coffee before anyway, and as it stood now, it seemed a sign that he should just go through with it.

 

Besides, he was curious as to how Copper would react to the comment about his tail being in somepony's mouth. Guess they'd see soon enough.

"Oh now we get to think happy thoughts." Allure muttered out loud. Allure closed her eyes in focus. A window began to phase into existence. She and Priestess were together on a wide bed. Priestess looked tired & disheveled, sprawled out sideways on the mattress. But she also looked content.  Between the two them, three little nymphs & three tiny kits, all whimpering, squeaking & chirping, aimlessly crawling & squirming on the bed. 

Allure saw one of the lings start to blindly shuffle it's way toward her. She shifted around so that she could face the little nymph. It shuffled right up to her muzzle. She gasped a little at the touch. She then sort of wrapped her hooves around behind it, and then nuzzled the little ling. It began making making what could be described as short, high pitched, hisses. She looked upon the nymph, and over to the rest of her & Priestess's litter. She pushed the nymph back towards the others. She let out a shuddering breath she did not know she was holding. "Y'know, I think a few of them have your eyes." Priestess said in a tired raspy voice.

Allure let out a light chuckle. "Don't sell yourself short. A few managed to get some of your good looks too." "Aw, is that right?..." She began to shift a ltitle, beofre stopping.  "Right about now is when I'd do that adorable thing, where I'd nuzzle the bed and turn my head upside down real quick, like kittens tend to do, y'know?...But, I'm not exactly feeling it right now." She said, not having really moved. "Heh, it's alright. We can save that for later. I'm.. I'm pretty good right now..." Allure said as her voice shifted to a whisper. She set her head down onto her hooves, just smiling at her six children beofre her, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. Just taking it all in...

Allure was now warmly smiling at the thought, tilting her head back and embracing the warmth it brought. The image began to glow bright, it spiraled and shrank into a solid form, dimming like a cooling diamond. Before her now stood a flawless padlock. She floated it and the last chain she made over to her door. She tightened the length around her door, shrinking it further, she lay the new link on top of the chain, and then slipped the lock through that and the one that would bind her door shut to the outside.

When they had gotten here, this place had been brimming with life and been how a place of this standards should be with the atmosphere and such. Now though, it looked like most of the ones here were walking in a daze that they weren't waking up from.

 

That something really were wrong just got cemented when the dream shifted over into instead an abandoned hallway a little after she had spoke, but at this point it also became painfully obvious that it was too late to do much about that. At least as far as she could tell. So she just followed Crescent, keeping her eye on things as they passed along the empty place.

Whilst there were a time when she could think of dreams being somewhat safe if you ignored the theoretical mumbo jumbo she had heard when growing up about a state of limbo, where your consciousness would be trapped between dreams until your body died out, she was less trusting after her own dream had ended with something dark grabbing hold of her and make her part of this forgotten state. No place was safe or sacred anymore as far as she was concerned, and what could just be a part of a harmless dream or nightmare was gonna be met with the same hostility as she would any real threat accordingly.

 

In this case, that threat was a darker side of Crescent from the looks of things, and no amount of words saying that *it was just a dream and that he couldn't hurt them* would make her relax around him, or ignore the annoying red-eyed bat.

 

Yet, she wasn't gonna say anything to that one now. Crescent already had him at a point where he could do some actual damage, and this was his head. She wasn't taking her eyes off Mall, but at the same time, this was his problem to fix. At least for now.

"Ah, very well then."

 

With that, Briar would wander over to where he had been before and begin to take further care of the seed extraction. Whilst he would be at this, Brittle would stay where she were and look down at what he was doing in silence.

After she locked it, Queen Allure's door bargain to rattle. Something was trying to get in. The door shook violently, but still the chains held. Then, just as suddenly as this all started, the shaking stopped. There was an eerie stillness. Had it gone? Did it find someone else to go after? Well, Last Stand would know the answer to that soon enough...

The Waking World:

 

Doctor Xeno was waiting in the war room for Luna's return when he realized, tomorrow would be his day off. Since he was here, he might as well stay, just in case Priestess needed his care during the night, and after everything was taken care of, he could explore the Everfree a little. He'd always wanted to go to see the Everwoods' planting fields and this was the perfect opportunity to do just that. "On second thought, Please inform Priestess that I will be staying here for the night. If she needs anything, I'll be staying in the war room," he brodcast to the changeling that was guarding the door to Celestia's room. He then made a scroll and pen appear, wrote a note, then sent it to Luna using his magic. After the message was sent, he made a sleeping bag appear then climbed in. Ah, the advantages of living among unicorns.
