open Forgotten legend

[Unicorncob 5,694]

After a good ten minutes of trudging through the wind and snow, Tyra had successfully led the family back to the village. She looked back to them; they were freezing and exhausted, but they still managed to smile at her.

 

"If anypony is injured or sick," Tyra explained, pointing a hoof toward Icarus, "talk to that pony there, he is a doctor. He will take care of any needs you may have."

 

"Bless you, miss," the mare panted, close to tears from happiness. Her husband smiled with his own thanks and the foals chirped a thank-you before the family went to join the other refugees. Tyra smiled at them, happy that she'd done so much for these ponies.

 

She glanced toward the gate, wondering if the injured Radiant could lead a large group of ponies on his own. What if they were ambushed?

She nodded, a determined look on her face as she sprinted back out to the road.

 

She had a job to get these ponies home safe, and she was going to do it.

@,

 

Icarus smirked under his mask as he heard mention of books. He had always loved to read. In his time, he had never written himself though. After all this, if he lived, it would probably be a good idea for him to write a nice book about his travels.  

 

 

 

"Books can be a great adventure, especially when there is nothing else to do.... but this is besides the point. Were are those ponies that needed medical attention  ?" Icarus asked Blizzard, not paying too much attention to Caliber at the current moment.

"i left him in the refuge hospital. you should see him there. oh, and by the way, more should be on the way." he said to icarus, "you might wanna be ready, four to ten ponys might be here soon." caliber sipped his mug, "and yeah, books are wonderful." he turned back ta ice blizzard, "so? ya have any books of your own?"

[Commander Tangent 861]

@,

 

" I see. I will move to the hospital then, frostbite can be very bad for a pony if left untreated. And when the others arrive, inform me" He said, swishing his cloak around and galloping off. He soon found the pony described by caliber. He quickly went to work on the frostbitten pony Caliber had savedl. It was a simple fix, warm up the leg, and use a spell to increase heat in the area affected. Luckily, dead tissue was not plentiful, but there was some damage to the leg. Using healing spells, and his medical bag, the ponies leg should be good as new within a few days. He finished everything up by wrapping a large bandage around the leg, and putting a heating spell on the bandage. It would last an hour or so, to help the leg regain much needed heat.

As Radiant was halfway back to the village the snow in front of him suddenly erupted with elementals blocking his path. He counted a dozen in front of him, he drew his swords and casted his armor as he heard one of the ponies behind him scream in terror. He turned around to see a small group of elementals behind the group of ponies. "Damn this isn't good, Everypony huddle up stay close to each other!" Radiant exclaimed to the group as they quickly followed orders.

 

Radiant manifested his four golden blades and turned his back on the twelve that blocked his path and levitated his swords at the elements behind the group. He made quick work of the small group of elementals as the other twelve were beating on his armor unable to break it. Radiant turned back toward the others and noticed a few elementals broke off from him and went after the innocents. As they were swinging their arms at those in the front of the group the ponies covered their heads in fear and Radiant managed to stop their attacks in time, quickly cutting down the few ice elementals.

 

As he turned his attention forward he heard more elementals erupt from the snow to the side of the group of ponies. Radiant threw his body into the elementals in front of him knocking the remaining over. As he turned to send his blades against the new elementals he realized he was reaching his limit of stamina from using his magic so much as well as the fact he has been bleeding this whole time. 'I have to dispel my armor otherwise I'll be to drained to even use my swords.' He thought to himself as he dispelled his armor running his swords through the new elementals. As he turned around he saw an elemental in front of him throw an ice spear at the crowd of ponies. 

 

In order to save the pony who was in line of the spear and since Raidants swords wouldn't be able to move fast enought to save the pony Radiant jumped in front of the spear. The spear hit Radiant on his shoulder impaling him stopping when it hit his shoulder bone. The spear fell out of Radiant's shoulder and he brought all four swords back in front of him slicing through the remaining elementals. Radiant let out a sigh dispelling his swords setting them back in his bag and then grimaced over the pain of his shoulder. "Come we must continue we are almost there!" He yelled back at the group and continued forward. As he walked forward he almost fell over a few times from his injuries.

 

Radiant was bleeding heavily from his shoulder as he could see the light from the village in the distance. He fell over on his side and struggled to get back on his hooves. Once he was on all four he continued forward his vision beginning to blur. Both his forelegs were covered in blood, his left was still bandaged and was now a mess of ice and blood. His right foreleg has just begun to become a mess of blood and slush quickly freezing in the cold.

Blizzard was hesitant, but replied, "...Y-yes I do, but I left them all at my house. I uh, I didn't bring any of them with me. M-mostly books about facts y'know?" Blizzard got nervous, he didn't want anypony else to know about his...personal book so he needed a quick escape plan, "O///O I think it's getting hot in here. I'm gonna step outside for some fresh cold air for a bit." He then goes back outside and thought, "Whew dodged a bullet there, I gotta keep that secret. But they're probably gonna find out so I gotta stay alert."

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber raised an eyebrow as ice started talking, as his aura flushed into a deeper blue. that means he's lying 'he hesitated. and he's got a book, that whole 'left em all at my house' was a lie. so was the 'i didn't bring any',' caliber thought, 'why would he wanna hide that book so much? probably something embarrassing. or...he's an enemy. probably the first, but ya can never know.' caliber got up, and walked out with him. "i wonder if the're ok..." he wondered aloud.

[Commander Tangent 861]

@,@,

 

Icarus soon returned from the hospital, smiling under his cloak and mask. IT had been another successful operation on another now smiling patient.  Though, when he saw the two standing around outside in them middle of a storm, he rose an eyebrow. "What are you two standing around for....this weather can be harmful within minutes of exposure !"Icarus informed the two, keeping his voice neutral. 

 

Blizzard seemed uneasy. He wondered if something had happened.....it almost seemed like he was embarrassed.

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard saw Caliber, "Aaah! Oh it's you." Blizzard looks around and notices nopony close by, "Ok Caliber, Icarus, I got a secret, but you can't tell anypony about it! I swear if you do, I'll jump off a cliff, no joke. Ok, it's a really sensitive secret about my book, and don't worry I'm not evil, you can sense good in me, but this is seriously an embarrassing secret that nopony can know about, got it?!"

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber smiled. "saw it coming." he said, "dont worry, your secrets safe with us." he looked at him with this expression :  "whats the secret?" caliber thought about the others. 'i wonder if the're okay...' he thought, 'and if they need my help right now...ah, the're ok. their strong.'

(OOC: going to use Tyra to help radiant back into town so we're all there when Primordus is back online)

 

Radiant was still a distance from the village as he could see a figure emerging from the falling snow. Because of his blurred vision he couldn't tell if they were friend of foe. He opened his saddle bag with his magic to pull out a sword but was to weak to use anymore magic. He fell forward into the snow and Tyra walked up to him noticing the large group of ponies and the trail of blood he had left behind him. She looked down at Radiant who was attempting to get back on his hooves but was unable to get up. Tyra then noticed the deep wound in his shoulder that caused his entire right foreleg to be covered with blood. "You are far to injured I'm helping you now I don't care what you say you stubborn lug."  She stated as she worked Radiant onto her back making sure her blade wouldn't cut him anymore.

 

She turned to the rest of the ponies "Alright follow me we are almost to town." She said walking to town with radiant draped over her back.

 

Tyra, Radiant and the large group of ponies finally reached town. Tyra went straight to the tavern where she found Icarus outside "Hey Radiant needs your help, he is badly injured." She said carrying Radiant where all the other refugees were being treated. Once there she laid him down stepping aside to let Icarus do his job.

@@Chip Circuit,

 

Icarus was shocked to see the state that the group had come back in, but shoved his thoughts aside  as he galloped over to Radiant. He began to mumble to his self as he pulled out his bag.

 

"Deep laceration, tissue damage, bleeding, possible foreign bodies... yes, YES, I know this !" He said as he went to work. He first applied a styptic to the wound to slow bleeding, and poured disinfectant into the wound. He knew it would burn greatly for radiant, but by this point he had probably passed out. As soon as things had calmed down, he placed a healing spell on the wound, increasing Radiants natural healing abilities, and speeding the recovery process. The wound, if properly treated, should be healed within a day. He began to sew the wound up and pulled a bandage out with his magic to apply once he was finished.

 

"How are things feeling radiant ?  Can you feel your right leg ? " Icarus asked, seemingly in a trance.

Radiant was next to unconsciousness when Icarus poured a solution in his wound that burned the wound. He endured the pain 'This is nothing I've felt worse' he thought to himself as the pain from the solution pushed him further away from unconsciousness 

.

He laid there still letting Icarus do his job, he knew the process of being healed all to well being a guard. No matter what stay still no matter the pain otherwise you'll just make it worse. 'There's the spell now comes for the worse part, the sewing the wound closed' He thought himself bracing for the needle to slide through his flesh. Soon his wound was being sewn shut which is never a pleasant experience when you're awake for it. 

 

Soon his right leg was finished and Icarus asked Radiant a few questions. Radiant glanced back at Icarus not moving his head "Other then some pain feels fine, otherwise yes I can still feel my leg." Radiant said with his usual serious expression returning his gaze forward. He rolled over avoiding bending his right leg, so icarus could get to his left leg.

[Commander Tangent 861]

@@Chip Circuit,

 

"My my....what a patchwork job we have here. But it seems to have worked" Icarus said,  looking over the  makeshift dressings covering the wound. He slowly and carefully removed them, attempting to not cause discomfort in the region of the body. This wound seemed similar, but not as deep or large. Following the same procedure, Icarus addressed the wound quickly and efficiently. In a day, the wounds should be gone, replaced by scar tissue. Fur would take awhile to grow back, but that was the least of his worries at the moment.

 

"There we go, you are looking good. I've seen people with worse fight a hydra, so I am willing to bet you can still help us with refugees. Just take things slowly and you should be fine" Icarus said, scanning Radiant over from behind his mask.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

During the procedure Radiant remained still letting Icarus continue his work on Radiant. In the warmth of the area the bloody ice that was stuck to Radiant's fur melted away still leaving the fur on his forelegs stained with blood. 

 

After the procedure was done on his left leg Radiant slowly stood up on his hooves and bent his forelegs to see how they felt. He still felt a fair amount of pain come from the wounds but nothing he couldn't overlook. He looked back at Icarus "Thanks, your skill matches that of the guard's medical team. I owe you one." He said walking out of the medical area and heading to the tavern so he could get some nourishment in him. 'I doubt Icarus wants me up and about right after treatment," He thought to himself as he stopped by the younger colt that was in the group Radiant escorted. "Excuse me sir, I just wanted to thank you on behalf of all those who you saved out there. If not for you we probably would of died out there. Sorry you got so badly injured over us." the young colt said looking down at the snow 

 

Radiant leaned down closer to the young colt "It's no problem at all, It's what a guard does. We protect Equestria and all those in it. Just make sure to try and stay safe young one and if anything happens feel free to call for help." Radiant grinned as he walked past the young colt soon reaching the tavern letting himself inside. He walked up to the counter "Can I get a juniper berry muffin, a grass sandwich and a mug of cider please." He asked setting the appropriate amount of bits on the counter.

 

The bartender nodded only taking a minute to gather Radiant's order setting it all on the counter. Radiant took his food bringing it over to a table and began eating.

Blizzard could hardly speak but decided to come clean, "*sigh* Ok if you really wanna know.....I....have a book....about

That contains the sad and compelling tale of Equestrian war from my grandfather. As a foal, I remember his face and his awesomeness as my grandfather, I don't remember what his name was, but I do know that his acts of bravery were amazing until his death. My mother never told me the truth, but she gave me his book and told me that if I ever got homesick, to read it. And in this book, his men killed many enemies in bloodthirsty combat, and to make a long story short he helped win the war for Equestria, but was supposedly killed when he was captured by remaining enemy forces many many years ago, and in this book *shows Caliber the real book* are his stories, and one line speaks to me, 'Stay focused, stay alive.' That's what I say! And so I read this book in my spare time to think and what's in here isn't for foals either!

" 

Blizzard started to cry a little bit, "The reason I had kept this hidden, is because the last thing I want is to worry my teammates about personal biz only I could understand. Nopony in this world cares about stuff like this!! *waves the book in the air* Nopony!!!" From there, Blizzard teleported back inside the tavern, went to his room and locked the door, crying some more, and feeling embarrassed that his secret was now known by somepony else. " No!! No tears!!Regardless of what happens soldier, you're on a mission and must not fail. I will get my teammates through and the job done, no matter what!"

Tyra pushed her way into the tavern, taking a long sigh; after that long trek back to the village, supporting the injured Radiant the entire way, she needed a drink.

 

She spotted Radiant at the bar, and grinned as she approached him and hopped onto the stool.

"It is good to see you up and about so soon, my friend," she smiled at him, "how is your leg faring?"

 

She then turned to the bartender and ordered a tall cider. She really needed one after that journey.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Tavern dore opened and Tybalt walked in,he was looking worried.He looked around to see if others have return,and whan he seen Tyra and Radiant where there,he smailed for a second.He than walked to them and asked "Good you'r back,more or less in one piece.Where are others?" Tybalt looked around tavern "Nevermind il send them a letter to meet us here." He than pulled couple pieces of paper from his bag and wrote <(Name of receiver) meet Tyra,Radiant and Tybalt at towns tavern.I got news about portal and this misterius enemy> he than rolled paper and spoke some weird words "Drepeorim Losontron Furion." Than from pure air appered three black pigeons,Tybalt put rolled paper around there leg and sad "Find Blizzard.Find Caliber.Find...how was his name....o yes.Find Icarus." And as he finished saying that one pigeon(one for Blizzard) flyed upsters.And other two flyed outh the dore."How we waith." Tybalt sad as he turned to Tyra and Radiant...

Radiant took a big bite of his sandwich, following it with his cider. Once he swallowed he glanced over at Tyra "My legs are fine now, that Icarus is just as skilled as any medical officer back in Canterlot. Right now I just need to get my strength back, I pushed myself a little too much with my armor spell." He said as he took another gulp of his cider. He looked at her for a second and back at the counter looking rather embarrassed as well as ashamed "Thanks for carrying me back into town, sorry I had to be a burden. I will do better next time so that doesn't have to happen."

As radiant continued eating he finally looked down at his forelegs realizing his fur was still matted with blood. Radiant stood up from the counter "excuse me for a minute." He said as he walked out of the tavern. Once outside he grabbed clumps of snow and began rubbing his fur down to wash off the blood. After a short while his fur was still tinged slightly red but it wasn't extremely noticeable. He went back inside and took his place back at the counter continuing to eat.

[Unicorncob 5,694]

"Do not think badly of yourself for what happened," Tyra grinned brightly, taking a large swig of cider before continuing, "companions look out for each other, I am certain you would do the same for me if I was injured!"

 

Her grin became toothy. "What is important is, we got everypony back here safely, and none of us perished!"

 

Tybalt suddenly burst through the door, and started chattering to the two ponies about where the others were. Before getting a chance to answer, he started writing something down and sent some magical pigeons off with papers.

"...wait for what?" She mumbled, noticing Radiant step outside and returning with a relatively cleaner looking leg.

[Commander Tangent 861]

Icarus walked into the tavern after cleaning and disinfecting his equipment. He would finally get a chance to eat and drink, after the long journey to this forsaken town. He walked up to the bartender and got himself a glass of water.  Raising his mask slightly, he began drink the water, savoring the cold liquid as it traveled down his throat. For a moment, his scarred face was revealed to any whom wished to look.

 

After drinking, he lowered his mask and adjusted it so the seal would become useful again.  Looking over to Raidant, Icarus couldn't help but feel accomplished. He had fixed another pony, and had another patient that would make a great recovery. It had been a good day so far for him, against his expectations.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant swallowed his food and looked at Tyra again "sorry just I'm used to not having to rely on other ponies, so having to have somepony carry me back just felt a bit degrading. I am still thankful for your help just i feel like a failed myself some." He said taking another sip of his cider turning his head forward.

[P-Jay 1,987]

"Well, that's a thing" caliber said, after ice blizzard teleported off. "I didn't know his grandpa served in the war. Ya learn something new everyday," whistling, he walked back into the tavern, to get himself a drink. He noticed tyra and radiant, and sat next to them. "Sooo...what happened? Fill me in."

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant raised a brow at Caliber who just sat with them "As to our objective, Tybalt is waiting on everyone to be present." Radiant said taking another bite of his sandwich and taking another drink of his cider. He wiped his mouth and decided to slide his scarf back in his bag.

[Commander Tangent 861]

Icarus saw the others and decided to join them. Walking over to them, he took a seat next to caliber. HE remained silent, listening to their small talk. They seemed to be relaxing and getting ready for whatever tybalt needed them for. Another good thing was that Radiant seemed to be doing well, at least, for just having surgery done on him.
