Bill lowered himself,

"Apple Danishes, and by the creator you better not poison them..."

He stated, attempting to come across as frightening as possible puffing out his non-existent chest.

He smiled slightly at the thought of the Danishes, though he could never eat, nor taste, the people of this area seemed to have an obsession with apples. Now that he thought about it, that was actually really worrying... like... addiction level worrying...

 

Oh well, moolah is moolah.

Celestia nodded to Choros, and two guards stepped forwards. "These guards will show you to the library. When you are ready to head to your quarters, just let them know and they will lead you to them." With that, the two guards nodded and began to lead the way to the library.

 

Celestia then turned to Bill. "Of course. A cart filled with apple danishes will be sent to your room within the next hour." When Bill warned her about poisoning them, a confused expression crossed her face. "You need not worry. We would never even think about trying to poison you." She nodded towards two guards, who stepped forwards. "These two guards will accompany you to your quarters. If you need something, just let them know."

 

Celestia turned to the other three ponies - Indicus, Silver, and Amethyst - and paired them each with two guards. "Your guards will show you to your rooms now. If you need anything, just let them know." With that, Luna and Celestia headed back to the gala to calm the crowd.

 

Twilight stayed a moment longer though. To Silver, she said with a gentle smile, "It is good to see you again, even in this unexpected way. I hope you rest well."

 

She then turned to Amethyst and gently put a hoof on her shoulder. Amethyst gulped and looked up at her mentor with worried eyes. Twilight smiled sympathetically and said, "Everything is going to be okay. Please trust me on this and try to stay calm." Her smile broadening, she added, "This would be the perfect opportunity to visit the royal Canterlot library." Amethyst nodded nervously. "O-O-Okay..."

[Choros Isorropai 409]

after being lead to the library, choros began grabbing seemingly random books, setting them on a table and going for more...

as he starts to scan the shelves and grab more books, glances at one guard "could you get me some food from the galla, and a drink? i dont mind shairing," glancing at the other guard " and could you find me some books on anchient languages?"

 

choros pauses his search, "oh, and thank you..." then he procedes to go through the library as before...

[silvermoon15000 337]

Silvermoon sighed, he knew he couldn't beat the princesses in an argument. "Fine, but I'm only staying one night, if I don't get back to the everfree things will go bad, and you know it," he said. He had never mentioned his job to a lot of ponies. He was a defender of the everfree making sure none of nature got destroyed and the everfree wouldn't try to attack Equestria. He looked his mentor in the eyes once she told it was glad to see him, "it's nice to see you too..." he said before following the guards.

[Square 69]

Bill nodded, but said.

"One guard, one guard will take me there... with blindfold."

Bill knew it was an acceptable request, if he were to be attacked, he didn't want to be out-done. The visual impairment was just for a giggle, but it made sense.

Regardless, he stood staunchly, looking down the second guard he had been assigned.

The older ex-soilder looked at the two escorting him and shrugged, "Take me to whatever room I'm supposed to be in then you can do whatever afterwords it doesn't matter to me I can keep myself safe." With that Indicus followed the guards to his temporary quarters.

The first guard that Choros had spoken to nodded and walked off to get him some food and drink, while the other one immediately walked over to a bookcase filled completely with books about ancient languages. "Which languages would you like, sir?" the guard asked in a very polite manner.

 

"Hopefully, one night will be all that's required." Twilight nodded once more to Silver before she flew off. The guards then showed him to his quarters, a large room in the west wing themed after Princess Twilight Sparkle. The walls were painted a gradient of dark blue to very light purple, with the ceiling being covered in an elaborate mural of Twilight's cutie mark. Next to the bed, a large window with purple curtains showed a view of all of Canterlot. "Is there anything else you will need, sir?" one of the guards asked him.

 

The guards that Bill had spoken to looked at each other, but shrugged a moment later. One guard walked off to resume his former duties, while the other stayed with Bill. However, when Bill asked that he wear a blindfold, the one guard that was left bit his lip and replied, "I am sorry sir, but I will not be able to show you to your quarters if I am wearing a blindfold. I am willing to wear one when we get there and I am guarding your room unless I hear any suspicious noises from the hall, if that would please you."

 

Both of the guards assigned to Indicus nodded respectfully. He had been assigned to a room in the castle of the west wing that was themed after Luna. It was quite large, mostly a gradient of dark to lighter blue, and had paintings of her starts and moonrise overhead. A window let him view the night sky outside, and had silver curtains that matched the sheets on his bed. The guards said, "Normally at least one of us would be required to stay with you, but knowing you are highly trained and work for Princess Luna, we trust that you will be able to take care of yourself if you wish us to leave."

 

Amethyst followed her guards to another room in the west wing, before stepping inside. The room was themed after Celestia, and the walls were painted to look like a giant golden sunrise. The curtains were a light purple, and the bed covers were a soft orange. Amethyst had never seen a room like this, and was broken out of her trance only by the guard asking her, "Is there anything else we can get you, miss?" After a moment, Amethyst responded hesitantly, "W-W-Would it b-be too m-m-much trouble f-for you t-t-to show m-me to the c-c-castle library, and h-have some f-food and drink d-d-delivered?" She was not used to asking for things, and did not want to be rude. "Yes, please follow me to the library," one of them answered as the other one went to get some food.

[Choros Isorropai 409]

choros sat at the table, pilled with books, and began to open some of them up.  replieing to the guard, "any that pretain to the area and are considered 'lost' or 'dead' languages."

 

opening books on mulitpul tables, running from book to book, "hmmm, there has to be something here...."

 

the guard with the task of finding ancient languages brings over a pile of books, and now choros has 3 tables with books. choros smiles to himself, seeing the mass of knowledge in front of him, "......."

 

humming to himself, he scans the books, going from book to book....

"No...that'll be all," he said walking into the room and closing the doors himself. He sighed, "she knows that I don't sleep," he said to himself as he stepped out on to a balcony. He was a night pony, he didn't sleep and even if he wanted to...he couldn't, he was plagued with nightmares every night, not even Luna could help. It was just how it worked, so instead Twilight cast a spell on him so he wouldn't have to sleep to live and it wouldn't drain his energy either. The funny thing was he was special in some way. He was born on a full moon with its rays shining down on him. It gave him the ability to heal as long as he was outside...but only minor wounds and some major ones depending on what they were. It also made his magic stronger. It wasn't until a while later he got bored. There was nothing to do but look at the moon and the stars. He stuck his hoof to his chin and started to think. "AHA," he thought of something...he could see what new books were in the library. He also could look for a book on whatever the artifact was. That or he could go taunt the guard outside his door...but that's not what he wanted so he stepped outside and asked the guard to take him to the library. Once he got there he began his search.

@@silvermoon15000,@@Choros Isorropai,  

Amethyst arrived in the library just a little bit before Silver, and after having greeted Choros, was deeply absorbed in a book about advanced alternate dimension travel. She hardly heard Silver's footsteps, and only realized he was there when she accidentally pushed a small pile of more books off the desk and got up to pick them up. Realizing Silver had entered the library, she smiled a little and said, "H-H-Hi S-Silver. H-How are you d-doing?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

"It's up to the two of you. Though I imagine you would rather be at the nearby bar where you'r fellow guards go to relax, rather then standing in front of a door while I look out the window. So if you two want to take the night off then you may." Indicus replied, his back too the door as he looked out the window.

[AmethystDawn 69]

@@Shadow Dancer, 

Both guards dipped their heads to Indicus respectfully, before walking towards the exit and leaving his room. Of course, they left him the key to his room on a small table next to the large doors. The moon was staring to rise, and the stars were already aligned for the night by Luna.

[silvermoon15000 337]

He jumped when the books fell, "oh...hi Amethyst," he said with a smile. He hadn't expected to see her in here so it startled him when the books fell. He rubbed the back of his head with a hoof as he let put an embarrassed laugh. He then crouched down to help her. He didn't really believe in wasting magic on things like this. He liked using his hooves. He started to pick up some books, "I'm doing alright, how about you," he asked.

[Square 69]

Bill accepted this, allowing the guard to guide him to his room, though he was disappointed that he couldn't get away with the blindfold, the guard seemed nice enough. Bill began to sing as he walked.

"Moskau - fremd und geheimnisvoll, 

Türme aus rotem Gold, 
kalt wie das Eis.

Moskau - doch wer dich wirklich kennt, 
der weiss, ein Feuer brennt 
in dir so heiss.

"Th-Thanks," Amethyst said as Silver helped her pick up the books. "I'm d-doing alright t-t-too, th-thanks for a-asking." As she put the last of the books back up on the table, she said apologetically, "S-Sorry, I d-didn't mean to st-startle you wh-when th-the books fell..." After another moment, she asked in a friendly manner, "Wh-What are y-you doing here? H-H-Have you c-come to e-e-enjoy the l-library as w-well?"

 

The guard smiled a little bit. Though he did not recognize the language, nor the song, he could tell that Bill was having a good time singing it. Soon enough, they reached Bill's room. It was another room themed after Luna, identical to Indicus's quarters. A room in the west wing, it was quite large, and painted mostly a gradient of dark to lighter blue. Paintings of Luna's stars and moonrise were overhead. The window would let the skeletal pony view the night sky outside, and had silver curtains that matched the sheets on his bed. The guard nodded respectfully and said in a friendly tone, "Unless you need anything else, I will now put on the blindfold and guard your room. I will only take it off if requested, required, or if I hear suspicious noises in the hall."

[Choros Isorropai 409]

suddenly and without any hint as to whats wrong, choros suddenly droped his head to the desk, and began to sob quietly...

 

after a moment passed he then got up and walked out of the room to the balcony.  looking at the moon, muttering under his breath

"hold your breath, make a wish, count to three..."

 

looking at the ground, as tears start to flow, choros begins to sing softly...

"come with me, and you'll be

in a world of pure imagination

take a look, and you'll see

into your imagination...

we'll begin with a spin

traveling in the world

of my creation

what we'll see

​will defy explination...

if you want to view paradise 

simply look around and view it  *looking around at the scenery*

anything you want to, do it

wanna change the world

there's nothing to it.............."

 

the tears stop, and an odd grin slowly grows on choros's face, in a shallow voice that gets louder with each line....

"there's no earthly way of knowing....

which directlion we are going.....

there's no knowing, where we're rowing...

or which way the rivers flowing..."

 

looking back at the sky, proclaiming in a booming voice "Destiny, Destiny, no escaping, thats for thee!!!" repeating this like three times...

then just as suddenly as it happend, choros walked back to the desk, and began to study the books again...

whistling an unknown tune, and lost in the books, as if nothing had just happened...

[Square 69]

Bill nodded to the guard, then stood in the middle of the room, patiently awaiting the arrival of his pastries. It seemed as if he was about to get in some pretty deep schizen, and it was important for him to be awake, not to mention he couldn't sleep...ever. Regardless, Bill stood, motionless, as if he was, well, a statue.

[silvermoon15000 337]

"No need to apoligize..." he said holding up a hoof, "and yeah..." he said with a mock smile. His memories kept flooding back and he wouldn't sleep, so this was where he thought he could go for some quiet, that wasn't the case here. "Heh, so what are you reading," he asked trying to change the subject.

[Choros Isorropai 409]

looking up from the books, choros wonders why others are here, and when they came in... that botherd him.... so absorbed into study that he didnt even notice.... "i need to pay more atention..." going back to the books, singing quietly "overload, overload, overload, comin' up to the overload, overload, overload, comin' up to the overload...."

Soon enough, a gray colored mare with a purple mane and tail opened the door. She was pulling a cart with a very large pile of apple danishes. "Hello? Delivery for Bill?" She looked around the room, expecting there to be somepony there. She didn't realize that Bill was standing right there, and thought that he was simply a new statue or something. Deciding to leave the danishes there for when the pony returned, she parked the cart full of pastries and left the room.

Amethyst looked at Choros with a slightly confused look when she noticed him talking to himself, but shrugged and turned back to Silver. I wonder what he was talking about... He sure seems different than any other pony here... She thought to herself. Maybe he was just thinking aloud about the book he was reading. Still, she had a nagging feeling that he was talking about something else besides his book.
