open Crystal Of Darkness

[Skylord Nexus 527]

As the group arrived at the Crystal Palace a pony came out to meet them she was dressed in a red dress embroiled with gold she had a look of relief and anger on her face "You were meant to be here exactly 5 minuets 43 seconds ago... but you are here now so please follow." The mare began to walk into the castle.

Awlix looked at pony dresed in red and whanted to said thet pony thet comed for them did not said annything about them needing to hury up,but she started walking fest and Awilix did not had time to say noting.Awilix shaked her head and started to walk slow,she did not whant to be frst behaind this new pony dresed in red.

Helvard tilted his head at the mare's apparent desire for punctuation, but as she said, they were here now, so he followed her anyway.

 

"So, are you the pony we are to meet for this artefact?" He asked, a mix of hopefulness and exasperation in his voice. The lack of professionalism in the Princesses' briefing was becoming taxing on the group's efforts.

 

It made no sense; if this artefact was so important, why were they so vague with details? Surely they would want to get every last piece of information correct?

[Little Red 1,529]

Ooooooh! Bjorg very much liked that dress.

 

Bjorg had been wondering what Equestria standards of style was-- this must be it. What a dress. She began vaguely fantasizing Awilix in that dress. Nah, didn't suit her eyes. Did it? It didn't in Griffinia standards. It would probably still look good, though.

 

She began imagining Aurai in a red dress. Didn't really suit her color, but red was best color, and Aurai was beautiful, so it would obviously work.

 

If anybody was to look at Bjorg's face, they would notice a rather red hue to it as she followed the others absently.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix slowes down and she alowed Helvard get in front of her.As Helvard moved in front of her and she was not frst after pony dreses in red anymore she tok a big breath and small smaile apreded on her face.Awilix raised her head and felt much beter,because this way no one could think of her as a leader.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

The mare turned her head and looked at Helvard then said very bluntly "Indeed I am but frankly I don't see what the point is of sending peasants to deliver such an important artefact anyway here we are." As the mare stopped it could be seen that there was a long corridor and at the end of it there was some kind of gold amulet it was circular and had a white jewel in the middle "Wait here while I go and collect the relic." 

[Pucksterv 4,508]

Aurai walked after the group without saying a word. She looked at the mare in red with interests as she had never seen such a gorgeous dress before. Probably because the dress was something Aurai would never be able to afford or even pull off. She stayed behind the group but could see the gold amulet from where she was standing.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As pony dresed in red finished talking,Awilix thinked same moment "Peasants?Who doeas she call peasant?I am godess chamption,and not just a peasant." Awilix turned around and made small circle so she would cool off a litle."Ok Awilix dont ower react,she didnt meant annything wrong with thet." Awilix thinked.Awilix did not lower her look from mare dresed in red as she asked her teammates a question "So guys who is going to cary this relic?"

Helvard snorted indignantly at being called a peasant.

"I am the commander of one of the Frozen North's strongest militias," he grumbled, scowling as the mare left for the artefact, "I am no mere peasant."

 

His expression softened upon hearing Awilix's query.

"A good question," he answered, then blinked in thought, "Either someone with good grip, or the strongest of us, should be in charge of its protection." He put a hoof to his chest, smiling. "I volunteer myself."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix looked at Helvard as he answered her question and volunteered to do it.Awilix thinked "Whay do this fat one need to cary it,I am good inaf to cary it too." But she did not said annything out loud of things she thinked,she did not whanted to start argument,she just fake smailed and said "Thet will be great.".

After a while the mare walked back holding the amulet and some kind of pillow "Ok which one of you will be taking possession of this relic. Just to remind you also do not give it to anypony no matter what they say only the princesses are permitted to hold this under stood?"

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Well..." Awilix started "....Helvard volunteered to cary it.So give thet relic to him." Awilix stil had fake smaile on her face,as she said this.But as thet smaile on outside did not show how sad she was thet she did not volunteered frst,and thet she wont cary this relic in name of her godess.

[Unicorncob 5,724]

Helvard nodded at Awilix's answer. "Aye, I did volunteer first."

 

He turned to the mare, and seemed to detect some disappointment in her tone. Being a servant of Luna, it would make sense that she would want to carry it.

 

"However," he continued, then smiled to Awilix, "you should hold it, friend. For your Princess Luna."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Relly?" Helvard action left Awilix speach less "I-I-I....I would be honored to cary it." Awilix then turned her head to others "Of course if its all right with others.".Tru Awilix head gone lot of questions,plans,goals but one tought made her happyer then ever before -This is it,Godess lead my to this path,this is probably what she whanted my to do- .Awilix did not had thet fake smaile on her face,this time it was relly,and it was biger then one before.

The mare looked at Awilix rather bluntly "Well then here you are." The mare put the amulet around Awilix's neck it then started to glow. "Good now then you must hurry back to the princesses now otherwise this could mean the end of Equestria hurry go NOW!" 

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As mare dreased in red put amulet around Awilix neck,Awilix looked happy but calm.But in her head Awilix was all just not calm.She was screming from happiness.Awilix turned around looking at her teammates and tryed as calm as she could posibly said "Come ON!What are we waithing for?!"

[Little Red 1,529]

Bjorg grinned crookedly at Helvard's compassion towards Awilix and how happy Awilix seemed. She was somewhat surprised at the mare's sudden yell, and nodded at Awilix.

 

"Yes! Let us go," Bjorg agreed cheerfully, wings ruffling and head tossing, "to apparently save Equestria!" How exciting! She liked this place already.

[Unicorncob 5,724]

"Aye, neither pony nor beast shall stand in our way!" Helvard added, smirking widely. All this talk about saving Equestria and the energy of his allies was psyching him up.

 

He put a hoof to his chest and took a deep breath.

"ONWARD, BACK TO CANTERLOT WE GO!" He bellowed, stomping proudly after his group.

[Fiery Shadow 109]

Spot On was following right behind the others, trying not to lose track.

She had her bow in her hoof and her telekinetic magic on the Arrows Fletching and the bows strings.

She had a close eye on Awilix's neck making sure the Amulet was under safe eyesight.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As the frst three of her teammates started walking,Awilix joined them.She almost started to skiping from happiness,but she need Spot was waching her,more importently Spot was waching her Amulet.Awilix did not liked this,Spot burst of anger not so long ago made her think thet he could be just an enemy thet is trying to get this amulet.And this look did not help her change her maind.And as she did not move her look from Awilix,this situation becomed awkwardly for her.She whanted to tell him to move her look away from her,but she did not whant to start fight.Others could see thet Awilix changed her behaivor,she was not so much happye as she was when she got amulet.Awilix tryed to still be happye but this strange and weird look from Spot did not alowed her.

[Unicorncob 5,724]

Helvard stomped along with his allies, noticing the glare Spot On was giving Awilix. Specifically, her neck, and presumably the amulet hanging from it.

Her bow was set, looking ready to fire.

 

"Why do you stare at her?" He asked, glancing down to the smaller mare, "Do you not trust her?"

[Pucksterv 4,508]

Aurai sighed as walked after quietly. She was starring at the amulet as well but not because she was keeping an eye on it It was more out of admiration. When helvard asked spot why she was starring, Aurai quickly looked away. Not wanting to be guilty of staring as well.

"I am sure Spot On is simply eying the great beauty of Awilix!" Bjorg chirped, never one to miss an opportunity at flirting. She almost hugged Awilix with one wing, but remembered Awilix's anger towards her last time she had been touched, and stopped herself.

 

She decided to give a more serious answer. "Well, we do hardly know each other! Perhaps Spot On is simply making sure our friend Awilix doesn't run off. Which she would never do, of course." Bjorg added kindly to Awilix, pure, honest faith in her voice. Even though she had been with them all for maybe a day or two, she trusted them all completely. She was like that.

 

Anyway, the ponies of Equestria all seemed so nice. They weren't the type to backstab her!

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As Bjorg talked Awilix thinked "Is this one blaind,he is clearly looking at amulet.And her wepon is out." Awilix then seen he is trying to hugg her with his wing,Awilix looked him with one eyebrow raised as if she was asking,what did you just tryed to do.

Finally out of the empire the group had been told to head a few miles south where they would find a balloon waiting to take them to Canterlot. However around one mile off from the Empire a three dark ponies stood in front of them as they parted a black 'unicorn' stepped forward and began to speak in a calm voice "Hello my young friends I was sent by the princesses to collect the relic off you and deliver it to them as to keep you out of danger." The unicorn waved his hoof and a forth pony came out pulling a cart full of gold "Here is your reward if you give me the relic then you can have the gold."
