open A Whole New World - Advanced Roleplay

[inactive user 79]

We'd been flying, walking and flying again for over three days, and I had to carry the non-flyers. I have two close friends on this expedition and two other pegasi from the royal guard to accompany us and assure our safety. We had no food, no water and we'd have been pretty lucky to find any of said resources out there, in the thick of a jungle. We were just about to take a break by a huge tree, when I realised that I could hear water swishing around nearby. I alerted the others and struggled through the vines, following the sound. Suddenly, we found ourselves at a glorious beach, with a freshwater lake up the beach a bit, running smoothly. We began celebrating as we saw non-toxic vegatation was sprouting around the freshwater, but something that really caught my eye was the glittering light coming from far off in the distance. It was weird, because it vaguely resemble a castle, the figure that the light lit up as it rotated around the area. I moved into the sea, swimming out towards the light. My friends and the two pegasi followed me quickly, seeing the light as well. This light and wherever it came from were very close already, and as I swam out I began to make sense of it.
It is a castle. It's tall and elegant like a gazelle. I kept swimming and swimming and swimming, and with my eyes trained on the castle, I almost didn't notice the scowling pegasus that flew above me. He wore an important looking uniform that suggested policeponyship. 
"So sorry, sir, we just saw this light and..well a castle. So we swam out. But how did you get here before us?" I asked, gesturing back in the direction of Canterlot. The policepony simply smirked and said
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I've lived on this island ever since birth, sir."
 
Okay, that was just the backstory. We will start for real after the guard/policepony, whatever, arrests them for trespassing but they are pardoned by the President, who they don't actually meet because I want to keep is identity a surprise, sort of. Anywho, let's get going! (OOC here: http://mlpforums.com/topic/117663-a-whole-new-world-advanced-roleplay/)

It wasn't long after Shadowhide woke up when she received some important news. When she checked her mail, she found a letter from the castle marked with high priority. It's probably a new case, and about time since it's been too long since the last one. She immediately brought it inside and read through it. She quickly confirmed her suspicions of it being a new case. Turns out a group of five ponies were found swimming up to the castle. Naturally, this was considered suspicious behaviour and the ponies were arrested. After all, ponies could simply walk to the castle, and even if they did, they wouldn't be allowed in unless they were there for business. Swimming to the castle wouldn't have helped in any way.

 

The letter also contained a summons to the castle, so they could discuss the situation further with Shadowhide. So once she finished the letter, Shadowhide set off for the castle. On the way, she already began coming up with possible theories for the ponies' actions. Perhaps they really thought they could sneak into the castle from the ocean by climbing the walls? There are some stupid ponies out there. Or perhaps something important was found in the waters near the castle and they were attempting to retrieve it? Whatever it was, Shadowhide was sure she would know for sure once her investigation was done.
