She nodded, smiling and dutifully sat at the end of the bed, humming the love song. She began to spin words off of it, then question the lyrics, and remake them, and repeat the process, quietly. I wish I could help him. What ever's causing his nightmares, I want to free him of it.

"The ancient world had many rulers. And the word demon has many meanings. My estimation of you being a lower D class was an accurate one. You are pathetic." Jack said, "By the way, I lied. What I said was one hundred percent of my power was really more like eighty five." He retracted to his former body and proceeded to walk away.

Nightfall closed his eyes, but at first couldn't sleep. As fatigue took over, he tried fighting it, but in the end failed. He heard Sapphire's humming and singing right before he drifted off. There was another thing about her: she had a good voice. And then... No more dreams.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She sung to him, switching songs, and noticed that he seemed to sleep restfully. She smiled as the sun came up. She figured he'd be alright, so she started to make some brownies to go with the standerd police breakfast; doghnut. She hummed while she did it.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

Wind laughed as Butajiri fell to the ground. Thats the pony who was taunting you inside the restaurant...You should kill him. All in good time, my friend. They thought, as Windward leaned down. Need a hoof ? He asked holding out his hoof to help Butajiri up.

Nightfall woke at his normal hour, still not fully refreshed, but unable to fall back asleep. He sat at the edge of the bed and thought. He thought about how his life had gone, what he was doing with it, what he could be doing with it. It seemed to depress him a bit, but he never forgot that he had grown up without anything. He walked into the kitchen and sat down at a table with a cup of coffee.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She served him a doghnut and brownie combination. She thought they were the healthiest items in the world, because cops ate them. She also made the brownies, which meant that she had put effort in them. She wanted Nightfall to like them. She wanted it alot.

Nightfall bit into the combination.

"Mmm... Sapphire, this is good.. Where did you come up with this? I mean, when? Did you get it forms ome kind of recipe book?"

Nightfall really thought it was good. He wanted another, though his insides said to hold off for a bit.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Hmm? Oh, it's Den's grandma's recipie that he forgot about. He learned it when he was 7, but baking wasn't important to him. So I know it," she grins, "Glad you like it. His mom used to say that cooking is the best way to a man. That was before she died though..." She visably cringed and turned around.

[Bari 7,020]

Neither Lapis nor Photon heard Jack's parting words. Lapis continued to dream peacefully as Photon grew weaker. The after effects of whatever Jack had used reduced the dragon into nothing more than a battery. But he could recover with time. The sting of the blade had felt very familiar. Almost like the warrior griffon of old. It was not impossible Jackson Snow was a descendant...

 

"When Mare and Griffon meet and mate

Their offspring share a curious fate.

One half is Horse with hooves and tail,

The rest is Eagle, claws and nail.

As a Horse it likes to graze

In summer meadows doused in haze,

Yet as an Eagle it can fly

Above the clouds where dreams drift by.

With such a Beast I am enthralled,

The Hippogriff this Beast is called."

 

Photon chuckled deeply. There was no denying it. The taste of his aura was quite the same. Jackson Snow was the descendant of the warrior who had dared to oppose him and imprison him within this gem. One way or another, he'd have revenge. Twice now he had been humiliated. And by the same blood no less. He needed to master Lapis Lazuli. And the opposite needed to come to pass as well.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Hmm? Oh, it's Den's grandma's recipie that he forgot about. He learned it when he was 7, but baking wasn't important to him. So I know it," she grins, "Glad you like it. His mom used to say that cooking is the best way to a man. That was before she died though..." She visably cringed and turned around.

 

"Sapphire?"

Nightfall half-got up from his seat.

"Sapphire, are you ok? Please, tell me if something is wrong..."

Nightfall kinda stood there, awaiting a response. He had quickly switched from his thought mode to his concerned mode.

 

((OOC: I'm going to bed now. Night!))

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"I-i-it's fine!" she said to brightly. Internally Den was having a discussion with her. Hey, Sapphire, it's alright, okay? Mom wouldn't have wanted us to be sad. You know that, you have all of my memories. But I'll never meet her Den. I won't ever meet our mom. Yes you will; we have to die sometime. You know what I meant!

 

(Alright, night)

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Butajiri allowed Windward to help him up. He had completely forgotten that he had insulted Windward just a few minutes earlier. "That was weird. I knew those mares liked me, but that was a lot more than I'm used to." He brushed himself off and straitened his hair.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

Windward smirked. Yes, it was very very strange. I noticed quite a few ponies who were... Whats the word... Climbing all over each other... maybe it was the food, Or they all drank to much. He said, grinning at Butajiri. You should really just kill him now. I know, I know, I know... Now shut up. They thought.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Something clicked in Butajiri's mind. Their was a lot more to Windward than he thought. Butajiri changed the subject. "I seem to recall seeing a pony that looked a lot like you doing some very suspicious things at the town square. I also recall hearing rumors about a wind master who caused a bit of a scene a few days ago. Tell me, if those two are one in the same, would that have anything to do with the recent bombing? If so, I want in. I want to make a name for myself, and bombs make a hell of a message."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

You sure are fast... yes all those bombings were done by me, and no you may not help me. if you want to make a name for yourself than you may want to move to a different city because this one will be dead once I am finished with it. Wind said, smiling at Butajiri.

Will you kill him now ? No I want to see his reaction.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"Good." said Butajiri, "destroying a city will make a name for me, and I am sure that my Banshee Shriek will be very useful to you." he slung the sword from his back and held it high. It appeared to be a normal blade, but Butajiri looked up to it like it was a god.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

I dont give a flying buck what your sword can do. I dont need help killing a city. if you join me you will die, That I can assure you. Windward said. He turned around an started trotting towards the harbor. He is quite rude. Agreed... But I do hope he follows. To fight him I assume. Only time will tell. They thought.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Butajiri loered his sword and followed Windward with no intentions of stealth. He would not hive up that easily.

Jack sat by himself under a mulberry tree. There was no longer any sign of the blood that had once surrounded his body. He had hoped to get rid of the beast inside of Lazuli, but he couldn't get it to reveal itself, even when he called it a parasite. In order to achieve his goal, he would have to kill Lapis Lazuli.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"I-i-it's fine!" she said to brightly. Internally Den was having a discussion with her. Hey, Sapphire, it's alright, okay? Mom wouldn't have wanted us to be sad. You know that, you have all of my memories. But I'll never meet her Den. I won't ever meet our mom. Yes you will; we have to die sometime. You know what I meant!

 

(Alright, night)

 

"Is it? Are you sure?"

Nightfall didn't want to sounds intrusive.

"Well... all right, then."

He sat back down and finished off his coffee. He looked inside the bottom and saw the dregs. There was some kind of weird feeling he got, like there was a sign... He blinked and shook his head.

"No, no signs. Those are just silly superstitions."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She sighed, "Another day of fighting crime," she says. Ironically, right then some phones start ringing.

 

The Music Maven woke up, shifting the music piles off of her face. She moaned; she was a little sore from the day before. She put on her costume, plus a black hat that slightly resembled a park ranger's. She'd picked it up the night before and had sown a treble cleff into it. She jumped out the fire escape to look for things to do.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall quickly poured himself another cup of coffee, but the image of this... "sign" stayed with him. He drank the hot, bitter, black liquid as he walked over towards one of the ringing phones. He picked it up and answered it in his usual fashion: "Manehatten Police Department, Captain Nightfall speaking."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sapphire answered a phone, "Hello! Police Station, what is your emergency?" She asked brightly, smiling.

 

The Maven walked in, looking tired. In all honesty she wasn't 100% after last night, the spells had taken a lot out of her.

 

Neil woke up and made breakfast for the foal. Due to the recent bombings, he didn't have to go to work. He fixed up breakfast for the both of them and set Patches's plate next to him.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

Windward grinned when he noticed Butajiri was following him. Oh please let me take him on. No I want to see what he will do. They thought as Wind turned around to face the pony. I told you that if you join me you will end up dying or being caught by the police. He said.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"... Yes, we know about the bombings... Yes, we have been to the site to investigate... No, sir... Yes, sir..."

Nightfall took a piece of paper and magically scribbled some notes down onto some paper.

"... Yes, sir... I'll get on it, sir... All right... Thank you... Goodbye."

Nightfall hung up the phone, and turned around.

"Ah! Maven! Glad to see you around. I need some help, you see..."

He started packing his saddlebag with several forms, blank sheets of paper, pencils, a thermos of coffee, and some donuts.
