private Following the Dream

[Unicorncob 5,631]

Indus scowled with displeasure at Jacky's hasty exit. Apparently she hadn't considered a group exit in her plan.

 

Nor had she planned to.

 

He watched as Summer made her exit, leaving only himself and a worried Flearia in the room with blaring sirens.

"Don't panic," he commanded, and got close to the mare, "Stay next to me."

 

His horn glowed a soft navy hue, which expanded into a flash of light. The two unicorns would find themselves in an alley a few yards away from the museum, where ponies were beginning to gather around.

 

"We'll have to blend into the crowd," he muttered to his companion, and began a nonchalant walk into the group of ponies, "Come, to the tavern.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

Flearia looked towards Summer leaving the room and not a moment later to let her think to go after Summer or not. Indus moved into intum distance to her and lighted his horn! Before she knew it. Flearia was outside in a alley beside the mansion they had been in finding the key.

 

 

 

"We'll have to blend into the crowd," he muttered to his companion, and began a nonchalant walk into the group of ponies, "Come, to the tavern.

 

 

"AUUGH! You didn't just do that!" She whimpered and gasped for air,

 

Not many seconds later there was a purple light coming from the mansions top. Presumably the roof window in one of the rooms, and clashed into Flearia's horn as she once again gasped for air!

 

After holding her forhead with a hoof for a few seconds she mumbled to herself and tryed to look for Inuds! But he wasn't in sight... She strugled by herself to get to the tavern mostly unnoticed more then to any Deamon pony walking past thinking she might have had to much to drink... again*

After our champions entered tavern, same one they had sleeped in lest night, they could not see much. This tavern seemed dead as lest night, with not much deamon ponys eating. But in the corner of the room was our champions friend - "Jack". She was eating something thet looked like fish, and did not even raised her look to see our heroes enter the tavern.

 

 

(Just to say, you guys are not at Jacky table yet. <--- More you know)

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

The quick walk back to the tavern made wonders for Flearia's recovery! 'Ugh! Why did he do that! Stupid Indus... Reckless...' she tough to herself while stumbling insode the tavern. Afterlooking around she first tought that she was the first of her friends to arrive. Tough sje also saw Jacky eating some fish in the corner. She wanted to put up a forcefield around the tavern to take away the posibility to teleport out from it. Sadly she hadn't been tought that lind of spells. Only how to disrupt it if needed.

[Summer Breeze 2,522]

summer finaly arrived at the inn, she was a bit out of breath from running. she useually flew to wherever she was needed. 'I-I need to practice *huf* walking a bit more' she said to herself. then she saw flearia who had allready arrived at the tavern. then she saw jacky sitting in a corner, eating like nothing happened. Lucky for you that I'm tired now summer thought when she trotted towards jacky.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Oh." Jacky started in betwene her baits, with cheerfull tone after Summer walked close to her "You maid it...<she tok abother bite>...with just minimal scraches." She said after she seen her wing. "Sit,sit." She said as she moved chair oposed to hers with magic "After other two come <she tok another bite> we will move out." Jacky was acting like noting wrong has happened - like she planed all of this before hoove.

[Unicorncob 5,631]

Indus entered the tavern, not exactly looking pleased. He had given Flearia an instruction, and she had wandered off on her own.

 

He spotted her sitting with Summer and Jacky. At least she made it back safely, but his exasperation was also directed at the group's 'leader'. If she could be called one.

 

He walked over to the group, a light scowl on his face.

"Ms Dragondanser, I told you to stay close," he sighed, shaking his head.

 

Sitting himself down, he glared daggers at Jacky. "So, was there any particular reason you decided to run off with the spoils and leave us to fend for ourselves?"

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Reason?" Jacky said to Indus right after she finished her meal "No...No particual reason. You ready to move out?" She said as she looked at our champions.

They got what they whanted from this small Deamon town, and now it waa time to move out, move into the unknown.

[Summer Breeze 2,522]

summer had wanted to start yelling at jacky but she had not expected jacky to be so calm and act like nothing happened, summer got confused and then prof started talking. so jacky was saved this time but the next time she wouldn't get away with things like that this easily. 

 

then jacky asked if they where ready to go again 'going already? but it's still night!' summer protested 'and I'm hungry from running, and I want to fix up my wing a bit' she added, then grabbed her saddlebag and got her little first aid kit out, she grabbed some band aid and wrapped it around her wing, it was noting serious but she was scared of infections, something her father learned her that she had never forgotten. 

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"You are not smart criminal.Huh?" Jacky said with quait tone of voice "They will relaise soon thet we are the one who stole the key.....and I would like to be far away from this place when thet happen." After this Jacky contineued with normal voice "Beside, I would like to reach Tomb of Glight by morning." Jacky voice become plane, with out an emontion as she contineu to talk "I am going with or without you. It is your choise will you join me or not."

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

"No! You are not going to go anywhere!" Flearia told Jacky and looked down on her. "That is if you don't want me to calling the guards this instance that is! You knew perfectly well what would happen when we got into that vault and still you didn't think a second to inform us about it, leaving us to get captured while you flee and making us take the full blame if captured." Flearia didn't take her eyes of off Jacky tough a wake glimmer from her horn was vissible, unseen by Flearia, and hopefully the tavernkeeper too. Was that around all tables in the tavern. Posibly in every rent room too. There eas a wake purple aura on everything. Levitating thenbjust faintly enough to be unnoticed. "Did you really think such an obvious act of treatchery would go by like nothing? I'm really tempted to have the guards that you yourself said soon will realize what happend to come take you. But attleast I want to hear what was going trough your mind."

[Unicorncob 5,631]

Indus was a little surprised at Flearia's sudden outburst, but he couldn't fault her for it for a second. He was in total agreement - Jacky knew this whole time what would happen, and she expected the group to take the fall.

 

"You left us behind to be prosecuted," he muttered, a dark gaze in his eyes, "Expect the same kindness in the future, Miss Jacky."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As Fleara yelled at Jacky, other deamon-ponys thet were currently in tavern looked at them. Even the kaid tavernkeeper thet had given them food this morning was now looking scared from thet "thing" thet yelled and pulled most of furniture in air. One of this deamon ponys rushed out side the tavern with fear in his eyes.

 

"Imbecile..." Jack said to Flearia after she pulled full atention of evryone in the tavern.Jacky voice was still emotion less, but now even her eyes were full of fire. As she opened her mouth to speak, it looked like she was about to breath fire from it "....dont think this is act of kaidness." She said as she stend up, at this moment Indus started to talk "Was thet.....a treat?" Jacky said, as she tryed not to laugh. "I will probably....no no,scratch that. I will defiatly see you again. Maybie then..." She said as demon pony guards started entering this small tavern. They were armed and ready to fight. "....we wont be this rudely interrupted." Jack onces again, as the moment she stol the key, started to burn and desapire. As she was about to desapire, she sheard a grin. After she was gone, where she was siting there was an key, same one from before. And a map,and on the map were some kaid of drawing. This was probably her plan were they would go next. And it this whole hury she probably forgot to pick a key and a map before she escaped.

 

Guards thet entered moments ago were pointing there spears at our champions. Archers from back already set an arrow in there bow and were ready to fire it at frst sigh of our champions trying to move. Currenly inside of tavern there were fifteen deamon pony guards, and outside of tavern were onli ten, but more were cooming evry minute. And evrysignle one was armed to the teeth. "Drop all your belongings on ground.NOW!" One of guards from insaid the tavern yelled out, and this line was aimed at our champions.

[Summer Breeze 2,522]

Summer stood lissening to flearia go all out on jacky and nodded in agreement. She was so focused on jacky that she didn't notice that flearia's magic was a bit out of her controle. Then, when flearia was finished yelling and prof started to speak, a chill run down summers spine. Prof looked calm as ever but his words were clear.

 

When jacky opened her mouth to speak, summer expected an explanation, but the only thing she said was 'imbecile' and summer immediately knee what she was talking about, everyone in the tavern was looking at them and things where going wrong. Summer wanted to say to the others that they better would be going now but at the same time jacky dissapeared, leaving behind the key and map.

 

Then guards entered the tavern, fully armed and ready to shoot at anypony moving. Summer froze in place and stared at the demon pony guards.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

"Imbecile" was the reply that Jacky had given her as answer. Jacky also started to move away from The corner booth theyalö where in before lashing out at them all. At the same time there was a magic stench filling up the room that made Flearia grin ill as she saw ten... No, fiftheen armed Deamon Pony guards filling up the tavern. Im the same instance she also realized that sje had done it again... Her own magic had filled the room without her own counciousness about it! Might it be her own ability to smell magic, maybe the shock from having a chunk of magic forcibly removed from your mind... Or maybe the knowlendge tjat she once again had lost full conciousness of her magic? All to all she almost missed that Jacky once again started to use pyroteleportion. Making her body get scorchd and melt into as she teleported away.

"No!" she shouted to the now ash pile on the floor.

"Dropp all your belongings on the ground, NOW!" Ordered one od the more bulky guards. Most probably the captin of the guard force as a row of archers made themself reafy to pierce then at the first move they made. Far to rash!

The booth suddenly got really cold. And infront of the tree ponys was now a thick layer of ice closest to them followed by a many scrambling sounds as most of the furnitures that had been wrapped in Flearias aura now also made a part of the wall surrounding them!

"What manner of hostilityis this! Why is there a half battalion inside the tavern and WHY are your weapons drawn at us! Explain!" Flearia spoke with a harsh yet high up noble sounding voice to the guards from inside their deffence

"We need to find a way out of here, they aren't going ro listen to reason! They already got their weapons drawn at us! NO Indus you are not using your teleoortation spell on me again!" she whispered to Indus and Summer both

[Unicorncob 5,631]

Indus just shook his head as Flearia yelled at the guards bursting into the tavern. The key was just before him, keeping it out of their line of sight. With the slightest movement of magic, he teleported the key onto a coat hook by the door, totally unbeknownst to them.

 

"Ms Dragondanser, let me handle this," he said calmly, and slowly approached the guards, "Is there a problem, sirs?" He asked with a cool, level voice.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Flearia moved furniture thet was tavern property into big stack in front of them, thet looked like some kaid of cover. Pony thet started destorying tavern property now started to yell at demon ponys for pointing there wepons at cleary insane creature thet was ready to burn the tavern and evryone in it. Demon guards did not get time to answer to Flearia question because Indus asked them a question much fester then they could answer to Flearia's.

"Thet creature over there is destorying public property and disturbing piece." Same as before guard yelled. Guards thet were stending with wepon tightened their grip on wepons because they relaised thet creasy pony wont just stop.

 

This was all happeneing in front of tavern owner's eyes - mare thet was kaid to our heroes even if they were not deamon's. At this point her eyes were full of tears as she wach thet one pony, destory all thet she worked to build, she knowed thet dameg to tavern will be much greater then her incom and thet she wont be able to fix annything of dameg done by crezy pony - and would be force to close the tavern. She wached as her life destoryed in front of her own eyes by an creature thet was not part of her own kaind.

[Unicorncob 5,631]

Indus didn't say anything about the demon guard's calling Flearia a 'creature' - no need to stir the hornet's nest anymore than it already was. Instead, he gave the guards a small nod. "I apologise for my companion's behaviour, it's been a long night for us and tensions are a little high."

 

He turned to the tavern owner, the kindly mare who had given them no manner of hostility, and offered her a sympathetic expression.

"Miss, I would be more than happy to compensate you for any damages or repairs," he said, "You've offered me and my companions warm hospitality, and it would be wrong to not return the gesture."

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

"Thet creature over there is destorying public property and disturbing piece."

 

 

A deep frown appeared on Flearias muzzle and a heavy snort followed the comment that the Deamon pony guard had outbursted from it's mouth. A chair, maybe two had been broken as the furnitures had been placed around the ice wall for extra cover from the rampaging guards that brought half a battalion inside a tavern! The innkeeper looked despaired at the them. Knowing that there would be nothing left of her tavern or reputation if the guards would have their way. Knowing her own people's hasty and reckless behaivior towards  outsiders.

 

As Flearia catched the innkeepers tearfull eyes she realized that using the furnitures wouldn't stop the deamon pony guards, They would just smash them without regard for the innkeepers property.

 

She again used her magic to move away ALL furnitures between them and the guards. placing them in a safe distance if there would be a bad outcome from the scenario.

 

"You are the one disturbing the peace bringing that many guards to a public place like a treath that would maky anypony defensiv. And by the looks of it, the destroyed property would be your own doing."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Tesions were high?!" Deamon guard yelled back "Just look what is it doing with furniture, it move them around randomly around the tavern!" As he was saying this Flearia moved ALL furniture again, to safe place from her,demon guards and her friends.

After thet Flearia yelled at demon guards, demon guard sighed and said back "I just dont have time for this...." he then looked to his left and said to an deamon pony with low tone voice "Go draw her face and ban her from this village." He then looked at our heroes and start talking "After your image has been drawn leave this village. UNDERSTEND?!" Demon guard thet was supposed to draw Flearia image made couple of steps forwered and started drawing.

 

Tavern keeper smailed at Indus after he said they would pay for dameg. And right after, out of control pony, moved ALL the furniture to safe place thet made her happye because she knowed thet what got broken got, and noting more will.

[Unicorncob 5,631]

"Sir, please, there's no need for that," Indus argued, keeping his voice calm and level, "This was all a simple misunderstanding. Nothing has been damaged and nopony has been hurt."

 

He slowly raised a hoof. "Besides, not to undermine the way you handle the law in your town here, but it seems a bit extreme to exile this mare on a first offence, does it not?"

[Summer Breeze 2,522]

Summer was standing at the back of the tavern the whole time, she tried to be as invincible as she could but ,of course, she could not get invincible at all since she was not a unicorn. And she even doubted that Flearia or proff knew a spell to make themselves invincible. Anyway, summer tried not to draw any attention to herself since she would not make this situation any better. Proff can handle this she thought.

 

Then summer saw the mare that owned the tavern in tears, and her hart almost broke. This was not what she had wanted, she just wanted some adventure, not troubles. When everything had calmed down again and the furniture had been rescued from the guards summer quietly walked towards the mare. She bowed her head and said: ‘I’m so sorry for all the trouble miss, really’ and she grabbed a silver coin from her saddle bag and gave it to the mare. Summer wasn’t sure if you could pay with equestrian money here but it had to have some value since it was made of silver.

 

Then summer turned to Flearia again ‘this is not your fault’ summer said to her friend ‘it’s all the fault of that stupid, lying , betrayer’ and the last words she almost spit out, summer still was very angry at Jacky, if she had just told them what to do or had made an escape plan this would have never happened.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"It is no-tolerent (when I get home il fix word before this) law." Deamon guard said, as rest of guards start leaving the tavern " We got rules, thos who break them probably dont want to live here in frst place. So they are escorted outside." At this moment, guard thet was drawing Flearia finished and he as well left. "You got ten minutes to leave the town. After thet we are going to kill you." Deamon guard said with a smaile "Have a good day." And right after he finished he left the tavern as well.

 

Tavern keeper smailed at Summer as she gave her some kaid of silver. It probably was not inaf to pay for crazy pony's destruction, but it was great act of kaindess.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

'No-tolerance law my hindquarter! And about what! A lill lose magic? Defending oneself from a batalion raging deamon pony guards!?' she frowned to herself as the guards left and she let the ice wall around them evaporate. After her companions had both whent up to the inkeeper she too did the same.

 

"I'm really, really sorry for this Ms." she said with slooped ears, levitating a small ponch with gems from her bag and emtied it into a side pocked of her saddlebag and filled it with nearly fifthy equestrian gold bits and moved it to the counter. "That should cover the damage and also a bit extra for the Inconvinience i'v caused. It wasn't intended, fare well."

 

She continued on her way out of the tavern and made a quick look to Summer and Indus. "I'll be a bit futer outside of the village gate waiting if you need anything else, no point in me staying after a death treath even tough I don't care, it shouldn't go out on you." and with that she exited the tavern while she asked her companion for a personal talk. Making Irra appear on her head and feling the stares of the guards as she exited the gates, she didn't care for them, she was to deep in arguing telepathicaly with her friend. Dissapearing from the lightfrom the village in a faint purple glow.

[Unicorncob 5,631]

Indus watched the guards leave the tavern, and shook his head with a sigh.

 

This town's law system is out of control.

 

With another subtle burst of magic, the key disappeared from the coat rack and into his saddlebag's pocket.

"It seems we've overstayed our welcome, ladies," he muttered, and walked toward the door.

 

He stopped mid-walk to look at the tavern owner, and materialised a card with his name, occupation and address on it.

"I apologise for all the trouble, ma'am," he said softly, levitating the card to her, "Please send a letter for the damages to that address and I'll have a repair team sent out to you. Thank you for your warm hospitality, it's been a pleasure."

 

With a bow of his head, he continued on his way to the town gate, avoiding any glares he might receive from the townsfolk.

 

He walked out to the town gate and met up with Flearia.

"She'll come back for this key," he growled, "and I plan to have some words with her when she does."
