"Violent and disorderly? These traitors here are wanted for conspiring to assassinate the great Supreme Leader and have been sabotaging our metal mines for the last week. These ponies are far from nonviolent!" the pegasus commander replied to the border captain.

 

The rebel unicorn scoffed at the pegasus. "We are conspiring against the great leader? You already got the assassins the instant they tried to kill him. The ponies that actually attacked your mines died back at the fighting at our main camp. We are only the families of those that have been slain. My son is one of the many ponies that disappeared during the purges after the assassination attempt. I'm here because if I stayed, I feared I would be next!"

 

The pegasus looked at the ponies that were caught between him and his soldiers. Most of the them were mares and children with the occasional teen stallion. "I'm sure our great leader will give you all a fair trial-" the pegasus was saying before he was cut off by the unicorn.

 

"Fair Trial! The leader does not give fair trials! I have not seen any ponies that went to trial come out alive or come out at all! Bringing us back is giving us a death sentence!" the unicorn shouted with fear in his voice. 

 

"Our orders are to apprehend any rebels we have found. I have no part in what happens to you all afterwards." The pegasus then turned to the border captain. "Leave us to our order captain. You of course understand what orders are."

 

-------------------------------------------

 

A unicorn commander with the troops received the orders straight from Defiant Shadow. He decided to tell the pegasus commander the contents of the paper once he returned.

An eastern SU Beach

 

A Fourth rate Ship-of-the-Line disembarked its crew after a long voyage. The beach looked desolate and surrounded by emptiness therefore the Ponissians had no idea they were on another nation's soil. They started to set camp, cutting down a few trees to make some basic barricades around the tents. They brought down most of the equipment from the ship including cannons, muskets, horses(non-sentient) and ammunition. The total crew numbered around 197 of which 90 were marines or soldiers, the rest were regular crewmen and cannon handlers.

 

The ship had been severly damaged during a storm and had separated from the rest of the fleet (that made it to Konyushnia). 

 

They had guards at every spacing between the barricades but made no effort to conceal their position as they were confident they were alone.

[WindyParadise 59]

Deep within the city of Stoneheart there was a murmur of cautious interest as the Council assembled outside the Meeting Palace. A large Earth Pony with an orange coat steps forward, wearing a suit that covers his cutie mark. He is known to many as Shady Storm.

As he begins to speak he allows one of his fellow Unicorn Councilor to amplify his voice to reach the crowds of ponies below them.

 

Shady Storm: "Welcome Mare's and Stallion's, after meeting with our newly elected Lord Potentate we have agreed that he will lead us through these trying times. I for one will be looking forward to the future with hope. A hope lead by none other than... Raining Hearts!"

 The Earth Pony steps out of the way as a darkly colored pony steps out from behind the Councilor's. He walks with a quick but steady trot to the front, the sun giving the scattered pink on his fur a strange glow.

 

Silence dawned upon the crowds at the sight of their new ruler, lingering thoughts of the previous one in their minds.

 Heart's clears his throat before speaking. 

 

"Thank you Storm, thank everypony who helped me get to this point. I look forward to leading the Dominion to ever greater heights of science and industry. As you may have heard I have formed a temporary truce with some of the Dragons. This does not mean the attacks will stop but they will be far fewer than the constant war we were forced to wage before."

 He pauses a moment before continuing.

 

"Keep your trust in my actions and I will do the best to my abilities. The Council is here for you ponies who are unable to reach me directly, tell them your troubles and together we will create a better future for all of ponykind. Now if you will excuse us, the Councilor's and I have matters of state to discuss."

 He then turns and enters the building, leaving the Councilor's behind awkwardly before they quickly shuffle inside after him. Shady waves the crowd off as a failed replacement for his inability to project his voice with the Unicorn's.

 

[A few hours later inside the Council Room]

A slam of a hoof rebounds across the large room, startling one of the guards awake. He looks around in confusion before realizing it's just the Councilor's yelling at each other again and shakes his head.

  "We won't be sending out ponies to die in the wilderness, I won't have it!" A tall purple pony named Starlight Violet from Fillyrivers yells out.

"What you will or won't have does not matter Violet. The Dominion needs to expand it's sphere of influence, the changeling's showed us that!" A gruff earth pony known as Carrot Tool says.

  "ENOUGH! I am enlisting the ponies regardless of your Support. Disregarding the world around us has only let to war and fear among the ponies of Kartrin." A pony with the voice of Raining Heart's says.

 

A chuckle emits from the only Pegasus Councilor in the room, causing the three ponies to turn in his direction. His bright blue fur standing out against the darker tones of his fellow councilors.

 "If your so interested in the world then why not send out Pegasus scout's? They can fly across the landscape and avoid any major trouble on the ground. I know some of you dislike my people but we have skills and abilities that you do not." 

 "Oh come now Sky Coins, you know that sending out military soldier's to explore will lead to wonderful first impression's with our neighbors. I propose we instead send out trained Diplomats, we know the general direction of the other nations. The Lord is obviously very determined for this course of action and I believe a vote is in order." Another with the voice of Shady Storm speaks up.

"Agreed, now who is willing to lend the support of their province to these expeditions?" Heart's speaks up in an annoyed tone.

 

A moment of silence before Shady Storm speaks up once again.

 "Boilport will support you."

  "As will Scalemount."

"Fillyrivers will not grant any support."

"Sparkshill will support you Lord Potentate." a voice from a yellow Unicorn named Dirt Spells.

"Singahoof will support you with what it can."

 

Raining Heart's raises his head in satisfaction as Violet huffs in annoyance. "Then we will go with Storm's plan. But I do want at least one Pegasus guard with each Diplomat, this anger against them is foolish and should not spread beyond our borders. Now if that is all the meeting is done for now. We can collaborate for the expeditions separately but I wan't both of them ready to set out two days from now."

 

 

  As agreed by the Council two caravans filled with products and from Kartrin began to travel with their 25 guard's to the east and south-east in hopes of finding other nations. Each caravan bearing a trained diplomat for first interactions with foreign ponies.

Now that she was settled in, Bright Idea finally had a moment to relax. The time would be short-lived, as the travelers would be there within half an hour. Even with this short window of "relaxation time", the young Premier couldn't help but be a little nervous; she had never negotiated with foreign entities before. In fact, now that she thought about it, she only won the general election because of her stands on domestic issues. The UCP never really established a position on foreign policy, so on that front, she would have to go it alone for the moment. It was definitely going to be discussed at the next party conference, that was for sure.

 

In the meantime, she decided to occupy her time by drafting her first public order. Public Order #1 would fulfill the personal goal she set when running for office in the first place: order the state prosecutor to reopen the long-abandoned investigation into the arson at her old secondary school that killed some of her friends. In the order, she also added a clause requiring the state prosecutor to report to her every 30 days; Bright Idea was not going to allow the state prosecutor to abandon the case once again. It would reach a conclusion, and she - and the families who lost their loved ones in the fire - would finally have closure.

 

After twenty minutes, Bright Idea put the fountain pen down. In a way, she wanted to deliver the order to the state prosecutor personally, but she knew that she only had a few minutes before the foreign travelers arrived. In a rush, she called one of the servants into the Gold Room.

 

"Please deliver this order to the head of the Justice Commission," she asked. "As soon as physically possible."

 

"Yes, Miss Premier." With that, the servant took the public order and left the room.

 

Bright Idea sighed, but it wasn't a depressed sigh. She was relieved. Finally, this decades-long saga can come to an end, she thought. Now, on to the issue with the travelers. She waited, but the wait wasn't long. Within two minutes of the servant heading out the door with P.O. #1, another servant peeked in the doorway and made the announcement she was waiting for.

 

"Miss Premier, the travelers are here."

 

It was time. "Send them in."
