“I made a special promise to myself. No matter what happened, I would always be there for my friends. I would risk my life for them, taking the shot, all to ensure they lived to see another day. While my life’s worth something, theirs are worth something more.”\

*Hugs Loyal tightly*

 

That's beautiful.

“And meaningful. I didn’t want to lose others in any similar manner, so I’d make sure I was there for my friends. There is a reason I’m called ‘Loyal Defender’, after all.”

“And besides...think of it like this – even if it is gone, you can show you really care about it by finding a way to restore it to its natural beauty.”

Funny you should say that, the chandelier in the Cutie Map room is made from the roots of the old Golden Oak Library.

Yes. My friends dug up the roots & made the chandelier for me after I was feeling pancake...Er...Down about living in this castle.

“I’m sorry, feeling ‘pancake’?”

Nevermind. 

 

So, what are your plans for the rest of the day, Loyal?

(Ha! XD)

 

“Hmm...I’m not sure. Though I guess some things I could do would be to get to know Starlight a bit more, or perhaps explore the castle to get to know it better so I don’t get as lost.”

The castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you like, except the West Wing...

That's where I keep my Starswirl the Beareded memorabilia.

(speaking of which, we didn’t decide on when this RP takes place. Does it perhaps take place after Season 7?)

“Memorabilia?”

 

 

[Sparklefan1234 169,731]

(I'm not sure. Whatever works best for you.)

 

I've already said too much!  *Teleports away*

Edited March 17, 2018 by Sparklefan1234

[Loyal Defender 4,111]

(We’ll go with after Season 7, cuz it’ll be confusing if we suddenly run into an episode’s event.)

“Uhh….Twi?” I waited to see if Twi would come back.

*Twilight teleports back to where she last saw Loyal Defender*

 

I'm *so* sorry I left so abruptly, Loyal but I had *just* remembered that I needed to...Loyal?

 

*Twilight looks around confused,  calls Loyal's  name again & is met with no response*

 

Gosh. I wonder where Loyal is? 

 

*Suddenly, the front door creaks open & a familiar voice is heard*

 

Twilight, Are you here?

 

*It was Spike Twilight Sparkle's Number One Assistant returning home from his trip*

 

*Twilight teleports to meet Spike at the door*

 

*Excited, wings outstreched, BIG SMILE* 

 

SPIKE!? *The pair rush to each other & share a tender, loving embrace*

 

*Ooh* I missed you *so* much, Spike. 

 

I missed you, too, Twilight. 

 

Princess Ember says "Hello." & I brought you these back from the Dragon Lands.

 

*Spike holds up a sack filled to the brim with gems & a book with a rose colored cover with gold leaf pages*

 

It's a journal Princess Ember wrote especially for you, it has everything you've ever wanted to know about dragons. 

 

Everything?! 

 

Yep, *everything*. 

 

*Excited squealing, clears throat*

 

I mean, thank you very much, Spike.

 

 I'll be sure to thank Princess Ember in my next letter for her generosity. 

 

C'mon, I'll make you some lunch & you can tell me all  about the rest of your trip. 

 

*Twilight & Spike go in to the kitchen & have some lunch*

 

(1. Good thinking. 

2. Well, I guess that was perfect timing, then. )

(Sorry for suddenly leaving like that. I still need to record a game, I got sidetracked. But I will leave you with this. This will show the first few signs of Loy's...evil form I mentioned, but not too much of it.)

 

I was wandering around the castle in search for Twilight. After she wasn’t back for five minutes, I wandered off. But now I was lost. “Ah, great….” I muttered. “I knew I should’ve stayed put….I don’t even know where I AM now...” The rooms and halls all looked the same, and there were no marks in sight to imply if I was closer or farther from where I was. 

 

"Kind of strange, isn't it?" A voice called out to me. I looked around frantically. "Hello? Who's there?" 

 

"Why, you don't even remember me, do you? How rude. I've been with you all this time.."

 

"W-Who are you? Where are you?"

 

"I'm someone and no one. Someone you should remember, but chose to forget.."

(It's cool. Have fun with your game! )

*After waiting for what seemed like hours for Loyal to return, Twilight Sparkle grows worried &

sets off with Spike to find her lost Alicorn friend* 

 

*Worried*

 

Where do you suppose he could be, Spike? *Oooh*, I *knew* I shouldn't have left Loyal alone, now he's lost & it's all my fault... 

 

*Comfortingly*

 

Don't worry, Twilight. I'm sure he's just fine. 

 

*Still worried but also, at ease* 

 

I hope you're right, Spike. C'mon, lets keep searching.

“You really thought you’d leave me behind, didn’t you? Thought you could just go on without me...”

 

“What are you ON about?”

 

“Do I really have to spell it out for you? I’m the remnants of your past! I’m the one you left behind when you moved here, and met your so-called ‘friends’!”

I wasn’t even sure if anyone else could hear this voice, but I still wasn’t sure what he was talking about..

[Sparklefan1234 169,731]

(So, he's like that mirror in King Sombra's cave combined with Apple Bloom's dream in "Bloom & Gloom"?...Awesome! )

*As they continue their search for Loyal, Twilight Sparkle & Spike make their way deep into the bowels of The Castle of Friendship* 

 

You wanna know someting sad, Spike? 

 

*Spike tilts his head upwards facing Twilight*

 

'Kay? 

 

We've lived in this castle for many years & this is the very first time I've *ever* been down this far. 

 

*Scared* So, what you're saying is: You have absolutely *no* idea where we are!? 

 

*Shakily* That would be a "Yes."...

(By the way, curious question -

Aside from the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight and such, just for reference, can you list all or most of the ponies you’re good at? Because the way you highlight others names who haven’t been shown interests me, even if it’s just because that’s their natural color. Unless needed, I don't plan to use, like, five different ones in one scene, I usually go up to two...sometimes three. But I happen to see some ponies we both like, then perhaps we can make something out of that in the future.)

 

“You really thought you could be happy, didn’t you? You might think so, knowing you have friends and family, and your folks are still alive...but you will never, EVER truly be happy! You still have all of those memories and realizations that are just waiting to hit you between the eyes and make you realize how pointless all of this is! There’s no point in being happy if it won’t last forever..”

I didn’t know what to say. I really didn’t. I just sat there, letting him ramble. Although, if someone was down here, I’d be lucky for them to hear him and follow the voice.

(And by the way, when I mentioned using Tempest, I didn't mean like for the movie plot kind of thing. I'd already done it like that with someone before (unless ya want to, then just let me know.) I meant the reformed Tempest. Reason she wouldn't have been around would be because she was in Canterlot for a few days, adjusting to the sights there and would be returning sometime soon.)

(The main reason I highlight the characters is it helps the reader know who I'm referring to. Also, I'm surprised at how you think )

(The voice could be in Loyal's head so, Twilight & Spike won't know what's going on.)

 

*As they headed deeper & deeper into the cavernous castle Twilight suddenly remembers she had wings .

 

Ohmigosh, I'm such a ninny! *Slaps forhead with her hoof* Spike, we could've just *flown* around the castle to look for Loyal

 

 instead of wasting our time walking for hours.

 

Spike:  *Annoyed baby dragon grumbles*

 

I'm sorry, Spike.  

 

*Twilight motions to her back with her head* 

 

Hop on! 

 

*Twilight & Spike begin flying until *finally* they spot Loyal sitting in a corner & staring into "The Mirror of Unpleasantness".

“Face it….you know when things get rough, they’ll save themselves just for the fate of Equestria. Heroes never keep their sidekicks or friends in mind. They only care for the world.”

 

“Rrgh...that’s not true! In the past few days we’ve had up to two or three special moments together! They’re not going to forget me!”

 

“Suuuure they won’t. They’ll act like you’re their priority, and then ditch you behind your back!”

[Sparklefan1234 169,731]

(Thank You! Although, I don't know *why* Twilight Sparkle would have such an depressing object in her possesion.)

 

*Relieved, Hugs Loyal tight* 

 

Loyal! Oh, thank Celestia you're safe!

I didn’t hear her. I was too sucked into the conversation (it’s not like I WANTED to be).
