open The Reaper

[Zhooves 843]

He appears to wake up a tiny bit more as the spell grabs him.

 

"The treebrary? On a branch? Well... Branches and clouds are the only places I can sleep, because of my back..."

 

He shakes his head a couple of times.

 

"...but I think a cloud'll be healthier... Especially if I do this."

 

Ha vanishes in a deep-blue blur, and reappears close to the ground with a cloud.

 

"I'll just sleep here... By the ground... Good day..." he manages to say, before his eyelids close and he starts to snore silently before he can manage to lie down on the cloud, leaving him hanging on the edge once more - sleeping.

Sythe didn't understand these ponys was they were so different "Dose anyone run our community or is it just aways like this?" he wanted to meet who was incharge he didn't like this town but this is we're he was sent

[TheBreech 91]

"Well, yes and no... We have the Mayor, but for the most part, we listen to the more respected members of the community. It's like a council of elders, though some ponies in that grouping, like the librarian, aren't old enough to be considered elders. We aren't a town of lawless savages but we really have just a basic system of leadership."

[GreenWind 70]

"I meant do you have a main leader like a president or a king or something like that" he didn't understand how this place worked at all the ponys always were happy there were basicly no rules at all to him

[TheBreech 91]

"Oh, I'm sorry I thought you meant the town's leader. That would be Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. An important think you should know, while we refer to them as The Princessess, they're a step down from gods, and most ponies whorship them as immortal beings. I only know otherwise because the librarian is Celestia's apprentice and knows her teacher has limits, even if we've never seen where they are," Breech told him, his mind begining to drift at the power Celestia and Luna had.

[Zhooves 843]

His ears sharpened as the name Luna was mentioned, and he started mumbling in his sleep...

 

"Oh Luna... Zzz... I love thy night... Zzz... The great sights in the sky...", he says as he rolls over onto his side.

"Princesses eh well makes sence" he turned his head towrds the peguses "what's the crazy one talking about over there something about loving the night an all that" it was clear as day that this peguses was sleepy

[TheBreech 91]

"I'm guessing his job is to mantain the sky at night... makes sense considering his name," Breech said, "Back to the Princesses, I think Celestia calls herself Princess instead of Queen or Goddess so she can be more relatable to regular ponies, she seems to want to have an important role in our lives, but doesn't want us to have total dependance on her," Breech said then corrected, "Personally, I prefer Luna, I can funtion just as well during the day or at night, but I like the night a little more, peaceful," Breech said turning his head to hear their pegasus friend's almost inevitable response.

[GreenWind 70]

He crossed his arms "Good thing I don't have to meet them or since I'm a creature they have never seen there gonna want to meet me" he joked "Besides I dont want to meet some dang old princesses" he smirked

[TheBreech 91]

Breech was having dificulty controling his temper, his ever present swords on his back seemed eager to avenge the insult to the Princesses,"Okay, calm don Breech he didn't mean to offend anyone, he hasn't been here very long, he couldn't know much the Princesses have done for Equestria, and he meant it as a joke, trying to be friendly," he thought to himself, trying to calm down and avoid causing problems.

"I know you don't mean anything rude by that joke, but just so we're clear, I said they aren't invincible, not that don't deserve to be whorshiped. Princess Celestia has done countless things to protect Equestria in the thousand recorded years she's been out leader, and Princess Luna, even if you hold her time as Nightmare Moon against her, has done enough to earn our respect as well. They are both very important to all of Equestria, and you shouldn't say things like that about them, even as a joke..." Breech said, he was regaining control of his anger though he wasn't able to conceal it completely.

Sythe seeing the anger building up smirked wider "What ever helps you sleep at night" he took out an iPod and put in the ear buds as he began to walk away "I'm off to do some exploreing see ya and by the way" he turned his head before he finshed "I did mean to be rude" he walked away

[Zhooves 843]

He yawns as he rolls off the edge of his cloud.

 

"...Ow... Again..."

 

He slowly gets up while opening his right eye.

 

"What... did I just hear...?" he said, seemingly confused and somewhat irritated at the same time.

[TheBreech 91]

"Then keep your distance Scythe... I don't want another Buckingville....." Breech warned, fading into a whisper as he mentioned the site of a massacre from a few years before. "This is why I lived alone for so long... Is this all I'll ever find in life with others..." he thoguht to himself, haunted by the memories of the ponies he knew in his first attepmt at a life after his clan exiled him. Wordlessly he sent his swords away to a cavern he had specifically enchanted to prevent himself from teleporting to if his weapons were there so he wouldn't be able to hurt others if he did lose himself to his emotions. Vaugely aware of Night's question, Breech silently walked off towards a quiet part of the forest he liked to meditate in, hoping to prevent his darker side from taking over.

[GreenWind 70]

Sythe walked around the town and got to know many things about it he finally knew his way around town. He stopped when he got to the school "Hm pretty small school" he saw that there was a class going on for a moment he tought to himself "Wonder how bad I got on breeches nerves its always fun to get under people's skin"

He slowly opened his left eye as he looked up to the sky, reavealing that his iris had turned to a blood-red colour.

 

Shaking his head, he drops to the ground, saying to himself in a slightly tortured manner: "Not now... The guy wouldn't know to not make insults towards her... Calm down...".

 

As these words left his lips, he flew up a few meters, before flying straight towards the forest - at a speed that would even impress the Wonderbolts.

[TheBreech 91]

Breech approached his meditation spot, a small grove hidden behind the thick bushes and trees, moving towards a small cave, little more than a dent in the cliff, Breech sat down and began trying to relax. "Okay, focus on something neutral, something neither happy, nor angry, nor sad. A simple chore such as sweeping, rain splattering against a window during a storm, leaves being carried away in a small stream. Simple things to lose your focus in, things to lose your emotions in," he began saying to himself, reciting an old chant his mentor taught him to assist in reaching an emotional stablity, "Why did Scythe say those things?" Breech found himself wondering, "Was he really trying be cruel, or could it be somekind of behavior more common in the place he's from. Maybe it's some kind of prank, like those self-lighting candles Pinkie put on my birthday cake this year, just a joke meant to annoy somebody..." though a bit disturbed at the thought of a culture that would enjoy such things, Breech also realized this was a culture without anykind of ponies so there was reason to expect differences. "Well, I feel better, might as well go get those blades, been awhile since I've had to do that little excercise..." he said outloud, refering to the obstacle course he designed to make sure his mind was calm before trying to retrieve his swords, otherwise he could just grab them even if he was still angry.

[GreenWind 70]

Sythe looked at the playground of the school "Hm" he walked over to the swings and sat down on one "Breech must be pissed" he thought "I'll tell him I was jolin the next time I see him" he began to swing

[TheBreech 91]

Breech had his swords sheathed and invisible on hs back again, the obstacle course he'd set up proved effortless, reinforcing his confidence that he he'd sucessfuly expelled the negative emotions he felt building up earlier. Still, he wasn't excited about talking to Scythe again. He wouldn't actively avoid him, but he planned to take a path back to the library, where he didn't expect Scythe would normally be. Starting with exiting the forest near the school, within about 30-35ft. of the playground where Scythe was on a swing set. "Take a path where you aren't likely to come across Scythe, first few steps on said path and you've already come across him... wow..." he silently teased himself, while he facehoofed, "Might as well clear the air about it..." He walked towards Scythe, who had already seen him emerge from the forest, "Hello again, I didn't expect to see you here," Breech greeted him, feeling a bit guilty for how he'd reacted earlier, "Sorry about going all defensive like that Scythe. Princess Luna's history tends to bring up... well... let's just say more personal emotions for me, and I overreacted."

[GreenWind 70]

Sythe looked at him and looked down in the sand "I don't really care I was joking that's all and for her history again I do t really care my history isn't much better no it's worse" Sythe stopped himself "Why am I telling him this?!" he thought

[TheBreech 91]

"Normally I'd argue how your history can beat a millenium of exile on the moon, but I'm not really expirenced with being a reaper so I can't say you're wrong..." Breech told him, wondering about what it's like to be a reaper like Scythe, thinking about that newborn that died last night... "How did you become a Reaper? I mean, you said you're 'A' reaper as in there are more and you aren't the robed skeleton I imagine when I think of death."

[GreenWind 70]

Sythe looked at him "When I was born I was chosen to be a reaper because of my dad" he looked back down "One person can't do all the work since there are so many people so each reaper gets a world why I got this one no clue..."

[TheBreech 91]

"Because of your dad? Like he was a Reaper and you followed in his footsteps?" Breech asked, all to familiar with having his own life chosen for him before his birth. "Not many people can escape a fate like that... Thank you Princess Luna," Breech silently prayed, still just as grateful for the mercy the Princess showed him as the day she convinced her sister to give him a chance at his redemption.

[GreenWind 70]

Sythe looked at him this time seroius "My dad was not a reaper he's a cold hearted demon who get joy out o others pain" the was pain in his eyes "And the reapers thought a demons son would be perfect no emotion or anything but they were wroung..."

[Zhooves 843]

He flies in from the north, and lands heavily on the ground next to them.

His fur is covered in snow and icicles hanging from his wings and head...

 

His left eye has a clear sheer of red mixed into the sky-blue.

 

"...H...Hello."

[TheBreech 91]

(OOC, if you don't want to read all that, here's a Summary:

Breech was an assassin, murdered alot of people, earned a pardon thanks to Luna, and he asked the other 2 to keep it a secret.)

 

"Hey Night," Breech said, having gotten used to the pegasus falling out of the sky at the strangest times. "I know what you mean Scythe," he continued, becoming withdrawn as he spoke, "My father was an assassin of the Blood Wind clan, the best of them, of us... When I was born it went without saying where my place would be. He always expected me to become the best of the best. That was my destiny, chosen before my birth and written on my skin," he said as he nodded at his cutie mark, "that was the symbol of the clan. I lived up to his expectations, I became the deadliest of us all, if my loyalty had ever been questioned the others would've killed me out of fear. I mentioned Buckingville earlier, you probably don't know this but that was the site of a masscre a few years ago. A massacre I commited..." Breech paused for a moment shaking slightly as he thought back about his mission," I was ordered to move into that town and befriend the residents, earn their trust, and kill each and everyone of them without any survivors. I completed the mission sucessfully, my father was beaming with pride, I was sick to my stomach. A few months later I was assigned another mission, the first one after being tested to make sure my abilities didn't slip up during the year I spent in that village. I failed that mission and the clan believed I had abbandoned it, they ordered my execution. When my former brothers came to my room, weapons drawn, I knew what had been decided. I cut them down and ran, ran for days without stoping untill I looked up and saw Canterlot in front of me. I wanted to die, so I went straight to the castle and got an audiance with Princesses. I confessed to everything I did, and I could see the fury in Celestia's eyes. Princess Luna, however, wasn't angry with me. She looked at me and I guess she saw a reflection of time as Nightmare Moon. She begged her sister to give me a chance at redemption, to earn forgivness for what I had done. Celestia, gave me a sickened offer, go back and kill the very ponies I had called family for my entire life and she would forgive what I had done. She was suprised when I agreed, and shocked when I came back alive I brought a list of ongoing contracts within the city helped prevent my brothers and sisters from killing the innocent ponies in Canterlot. Celestia forgave me for what I had done, and Luna asked the librarian here to help me find a place to stay. And a couple of months later, here we are. And there was no part of that you asked me..." Breech finished, facehoofing himself for rambling like that, "I got way off track there, sorry," looking over to Night who he was sure had just heard everything, "Please don't tell anyone. While I'm not a criminal on paper, I don't want the ponies around here to know what I did, I don't want them to tke it the wrong way. I like living here..."
