open Crystal Of Darkness

[Fiery Shadow 109]

Spot On introduced herself to Helvard in a polite tone.

Greetings. My Name is Spot On. Yes i am the pony you are supposed to meet.

And good morning... griffon!

She had been hunting griffons for a long time, hoping that Aurai would not know about her griffon-cide.

I was told to meep up with all of you.

She nervously stared at aurai for a second, hoping to celestia that she doesnt know.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix woke up as some one yelled tru the house.Awilix opened one eye and looked at her window seen sun was up.She closed her eye and thinked "Sun...Ahhhhhh" as she said lest part she she trowed her pillow at window,pillow flyed tru air and striked wall next to it.

Moments later she stended up and looked at mirror in her room seen her mane was onces again in mess.She onces more like lest night pulled our her mane brush to fix it.She fixed is quait fest,and pulled one black rose from her bag and placed it in her mane.She picked up her spear,from floor.Awilix then turned at a doore,unlocked it and walked out side,in just a moment as new pony said he was told to meet them.Awilix instantly remembered thos two imposters in Canterlot,and thinked this pony was send by thos imposters.She looked at him from head to hoove and said with normal,almost angry voice "Who are you,and whay did you need to meet us?"

[Little Red 1,529]

Bjorg woke up with a start. She jolted up on her bed, and hit her head.

 

"Ouch!" Bjorg grumbled, rubbing her head. She trotted out of the house to see all her companions from yesterday.

 

"Good morning, pretties!" Bjorg chirped, coming in between Aurai and Awilix, to see another mare, much to her delight-- except with artificial wings and a strange pupil in her left eye.... but otherwise, she was quite the looker.

 

"Well, hello!" Bjorg said cheerfully, raising a talon to shake her hoof. "It's a pleasure to meet your! I AM BJORG!" The last bit, as per usual, she shouted.

[Fiery Shadow 109]

Spot On was quite uncomfortable with the shouting. She looked at Björg while rubbing her ear that took most of the noise, revealing both her eyes to be the same strange pupils.

 

"You speak with the volume of a raging dragon! You might even awaken one!" she chuckled. "Im Spot on." she said and shaked hoof with Björg!

[Gloomfury 243]

Mezra woke up a little later to the sound of Bjorg shouting again. Feeling a bit more comfortable  with the others she felt like she could talk to them all  feeling a bit more relaxed. After grabbing Lucy, her spell book and bag she left her room to meet the others. She didn't like the idea of leaving her stuff unattended, she didn't know who might try to take her stuff if she left them alone.

 

@@Unicorncob,  When she caught up with the others she went over to greet Helvard first, feeling a bit more comfortable  around him then the others. "Morning, Helvard, I hope you slept well." She said looking up at him with a smile.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As new pony ignored awilix question Awilix got angry,but calmed down quick when she heard name of new pony.She laugh for a moment droping her guard,laugh left smaile on her face.Awilix thinked "Spot on what?" Then she started to think about evry posible answer,and more she thinked biger smaile on her face becomed,and with thet smaile on her face she turned around at her friends from lest night and asked "So whant now?"

Aurai stood quietly next to the other. Again she looked at Bjorg but quickly looked away because of her shyness. She quickly got back into the house to get her back out of her room. "Which room was it again?" she went through several rooms before she found her own. She grabbed her bag and went outside again. This time not standing next to anyone but standing alone as it felt more comfortable.

[Little Red 1,529]

Bjorg was quite fond of Spot On's compliment. "An honor to meet you, Spot On!" Bjorg cried. She nodded cheerfully in greeting at Aurai and Mezra, who seemed to have just come out. She turned back to Spot On. "Tell me, Spot On! Where has our group of adventuring warriors been summoned?" Bjorg said with flair.

[Fiery Shadow 109]

She turned to Awilix in an upset manner.

What now? We're Waiting for the others to ready up! ain't that obvious?
She said to Awilix, sounding upset to a minimum.

"I do not know! I was told to find you here and bring you to the crystal empire."
She said to Björg, sounding 100% convincing.
She still was nervous about the griffon nearby.
"Ill let you all get your stuff and we'll get moving!"
She said and waited patiently for them.

Helvard smiled at Mezra as she made her entrance outside. "Good morning, Mezra. Aye, I did sleep well, which is a surprise considering it was an Equestrian bed I slept on." He chuckled.

 

He raised an eyebrow to Spot On's little outburst to Awilix. Was there a need for such an answer?

He would have to keep an eye on this one.

 

"I have all of my things here," he informed her, "so I am ready to head out when the others are."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix smaile droped as Spot yell at her,she asked her a simple question and she started off agresive at her.She turned her head and was faceing her with just a half face,she raised an eyebrow and said "What is your deal?If you dont whant to answer my question,you dont have to be agresive about it!" Awilix moved couple of steps forwered to make distance from spot,and then turned around to face her.This way Spot could not suprise her with bow and arrow.Awilix onces more looked at Spot from head to hoove and thinked 'This one will be trouble...'

Spot was collecting herself.

I apologize for my outburst. Being out in the wilderness all my life, surviving on what i have, Hunting griffons for food---

She stopped herself since aurai was nearby.

erm.. By that... i mean Rogue griffons. scavengers. Bandits.

dont take it as an offensive statement however.. Your name was what now?

She asked Aurai.

However we have to move. The Crystal empire is waiting!

She said and started walking, Unfolding her Predator bow in her hoof and loaded an arrow from the spring-box. The arrow folded out from the box that clearly was way shorter then the arrow itself, the arrow however, became thinner the more it extended.

Her bow was nothing ever seen before. the arrows were loaded in a small box, the strings were spring-loaded for extra firepower and the two ends of the bow was made out of a hard elastic rubber, allowing for extra drag resistance.

@,

 

"uhmm...my name is Aurai.." Aurai said as she took a few steps back from Spot. Something about made her freak out a little. Not looking where she was going she crashed into a trashcan, making a lot of noise. Her face went red from and embarrassment as she quickly started to move forward, not wanting to attract any more attention.  

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix smailed as Spot said her apologize.Then awilix said  "Its all right." But in her head she thinked 'This one will be un predictable,she change her emotion evry couple of seconds.I will have to keep my eye on her.' Awilix stil had thet fake smaile on her face,as she moved after Spot.

As Spot On was moving with the others towards the crystal empire, she started having conversations with the others.

So hey, Björg! How come your name sounds so unique?

She could speak griffon-tounge, which was why she could pronounce Björg's name correctly.

Aurai, Björg, i hope you two don't take my words earlier as a threat. Those griffons were Bandits. Although they didn't make it very long when i was around. well... let's just say that they got arrows trough their foreheads and nailed to trees. No offense though. they were the ones who tried ambushing me. and actually.. they did actually make a good snack. No offense.

She said and tried to be as friendly as possible to the two griffons. the same species she had been hunting for supplies and food.

 

As the group continued down the path to the crystal empire, Spot on got the idea of singing a motivational song to keep the mood up.

 

We walk alone
In the unknown
We live to win another victory
We are the young
Dying sons
We live to change the face of history so be afraid
It's the price we pay
The only easy day was yesterday
So hear our voice,
We have a choice,
It's time to face it

We are one
We are one
We are one
We will stand together
Number one
Number one
The chosen ones
We are one
We are one
We will fight forever
We are one and we won't die young

She sang the Canterlot Military anthem, We are one, by 12 Swords; for herself.

[Pucksterv 4,508]

@,

 

"It's alright. I'm not offended. I was raised in Equestria, I never really felt like I belonged to the griffon kind anyways." Aurai said still a bit shy but feeling a bit more comfortable. She listened to Spot sing, she wanted to sing as well but decided not to. She was still too shy for that.

Bjorg followed Spot On, extremely pleased to hear her name pronounced well. When Spot On finished her song, Bjorg responded to her earlier question.

 

"Bjorg is from the great land of Griffinia, many miles from Equestria!" Bjorg said cheerfully. "Our society is very different from this one. My name means "help" in my language, for it was hoped that I would be a noble beast and help others!" Bjorg's chest ruffled in pride, and her wings ruffled on her side.

 

"I must say, I am shocked you managed to ever catch one of my kind. Griffins are very strong. But I find no offense. After all, I knew griffins back home that had eaten ponies." Bjorg said cheerfully. "So long as you do not expect me to eat a griffin, you and I shall get along well, Spot On! Anyway, enough of that subject-- what is that song you sang, pray tell? It was uplifting, and you have a nice voice!"

[Unicorncob 5,738]

Helvard followed after Spot, keeping quiet as he didn't want to interrupt her singing.

 

However, he had to smile at Bjorg's comment about griffins eating ponies.

"I have battled many a griffin in my life," he chimed in, stomping along next to her, "and I am not ashamed to say they have given me more than my fair share of scars. Especially one commander of them who threatened my home, though thankfully he was not of your Griffania. Certainly a worthy opponent."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix walked in back,as she did not like to be quait close to the other.She did not had thet fake smaile on her face anny more,and she did not look right in front of her.She looked at ground under her and thinked about evrything thet happen in lest day-frst thos two imposter,but others were sure they were rell,so maybi she could be wrong about them imposter,and she thinked about new pony in there group,un precitable and quaite rude to her she did not know what to think about him.He could be friend,but also he cpuld be foe thet is just looking for her friends trust so she could just kill them when they drop guard.- Awilix head was full,but because she walked alone in back,she had time to think about everything,and clear her head.

[Pucksterv 4,508]

Aurai walked along side the group, keeping quiet. She listened to their conversations but was too shy to participate, resulting in feeling left out even if it was her own fault. She let her head drop down, looking at her claws as she continued walking down the road.

[Fiery Shadow 109]

That my dear friend, is the Canterlot Military Anthem. I've been hearing it when recruits for the royal army were marching past my sleeping areas.

The song of Bravery, We are one.

The song is a mark of honor and pride for the royal army of equestria.

She awnsered to Björg's question.

She noticed Aurai walking a bit away from the others.

She came up to her and tried cheering her up.

Hey, Aurai! what's wrong? There's nothing to be shy for.

She said in a motivational manner, in an attempt to learn know the blue-tinted Griffon.

I've been where you are now! i was shy once as well. Alone. Scared.

She kept on trying to cheer up Aurai as the group ventured down the road.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix looked but as Spot tryed to chere up Aurai,Awilix looked carefully what she was doing there,and thinked 'This one may be even more complicated then I thinked,she looks friendly,but she was so rude before...Others like her a lot,she cant be so much evil then.But I cant forget story about wolf in sheep's clothing.I will need to look after this one litle more to see her true goal.' Awilix looked around,question how they arent at  Crystal Empire,just yesterday it looked like they dont need more then five minute walk.

@,

 

"Hmm what? Oh yeah I'm fine..just leave me be.." Aurai said with head still hanging down. "I'll be fine on my own." She said as she walked of further from the group. She was confused with herself, she did not know if she wanted to be alone or that she needed a friend right now.

[Little Red 1,529]

Ah, well. Spot On had left to go comfort Aurai, it seemed. Wait, did the other griffin need comforting? Alas! She had failed in her task of being an amazing, caring griffin, by not noticing that Aurai had felt left out! And now she had missed her opportunity to flirt...

 

She continued walking ahead of the group, vaguely realizing she had no idea where she was going, but heading towards the big crystal castle place anyway.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix thinked about everything,making her tought lighter and her goal clearer.Awilix reised her look at a clear blu sky and said,almost whispering "Godess i am soory I ever doubt at you." Awilix then looked in front and with smail on her face folowed Bjorg to where ever he was heading.
