private Founding of Equestria (RP thread)

[Nightfall 3,950]

Velnir kissed her gently on the cheek and got out of the tub. He stared at himself in the mirror. His eyes caught on a metal object in the wall, and he frowned. He turned to it and carefully pried it from the door. Placing it in a sheath on his bag, next to his knife and dried himself.

(For Vinyl)

Vinyl thought about the commander's order. "No, I'm not going to be sending an extraction team. It puts the lives of more ponies in danger and it would throw away any kind of element of surprise we have. Sapphire, fall into 1st Company, 1st Platoon. You're the platoon leader now."

"Then that's it... We are the extraction party. (Let's assume Martin has told us the plan cosidering @[Krystal] hasn't posted for a time. http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png ) PEGASI! Form the storm! Vinyl, I trust you will follow us."

 

She drained the tub from the water before getting out. Shelby felt refreshed, and she dried off.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir shrugged his bag on, saying, "I would feel better if you stayed in the caves with all of the other ponies, Shelby. Then, at least, you'll be safe..." Karma has to much to bite me in the flank for... Please don't take her! He quickly turned away from the mirror and awkwardly kisses her. When he breaks, he says, "Please don't die!" and runs out the door.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Fire Blade's heart stopped. He crept up to the bars and whispered to his captor.

"Look, whatever you do, don't let them in here."

It was obvious he had fear in his voice.

 

As Surge opened the door....Sorry but your punishment is not over. The two families walk in. Two mares(wives),one teen(colt), and two foals(one boy,one girl). Surge greeted them and them in. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Considering your situation and all. Its ok General. Yes its fine. is he here? Yes he is. Right this way. The two foals were not just any foals. They were the two who found the bodies. Now i must ask you before you go back here, are you sure you want to do this? Yes...yes i am. I want to look into the colts eyes that killed my husband. As do i. ...............The teen said nothing. The foals just walked silently. Surge walked over to Fire Blade cell. Then is how we do things here.

Fire Blade, of course, felt a wave of guilt flood him when he saw the foals and the mares, and all he could do was hope Surge wouldn't let them into the cell. The things they could do...

"Wait!"

But he was gone. She wished she too could have told him to be safe. She slumped down against the tub, near tears.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir was going down the stairs when he heard, "Wait!" He froze up instantly, which caused him to roll down the stairs. After hitting the bottom floor, he turned around and ran back up. He poked his head into the bathroom and saw her crying. "Nonono, I don't like that face," he said to her. He kissed both sides of her face, resulting in his rubbing her tears off. "The men are fine on their own, so I have a few hours... If you want..."

She was still crying a little bit when Velnir came back into the room. She reached up and grabbed his neck, pulling him close as she hugged him.

"Velnir... Just do what you need to. And please, for me..."

She kissed him for a moment, only the remains of tears showed (though she was still sad).

"... Don't get hurt, ok?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He smiled warmly and sifted through his bag, coming out triumphantly with a bandanna. It was worn, and green, and smelled of herbs, kind of like Velnir. He wrapped it around her neck and kissed her, saying, "I promise to come back home after this war. Now, like I said, I hate to see you sad. Come on Shelby, let's take a nap."

"Are... Are you-"

But she decided not to argue against him. To make him angry would only unleash a monster, or so she thought.

"Ok."

Now that she thought about it, even though she had just finished a nap, she was tired. She went into the bedroom and curled up on the bed, facing the door so she could see Velnir come in.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He walked in and dropped his stuff next to the door. He curled into a tight ball at the foot of the bed, placing his tail under his head and stairing at a wall. He sensed he'd fallen out of favor with Shelby, and was unwilling to do anything that would increase that feeling.

[Nightfall 3,950]

She wondered why he had curled up at the end of the bed.

"Look... Velnir..."

She got up slowly and crawled over to him, hugging him when she got there.

"Don't be so sad... Velnir, I... I really do love you."

She hugged him tightly, hoping he would feel better just as he had done to her.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He let her hug him, but looked away, "It's hard to love a monster, Shelby," he said, saddly, "But a monster will never try to hurt you for trying." He let out a few silent tears, smelling her scent, and feeling her softness. And even though he couldn't meet her eyes, he subconsciously pressed into her.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Fire Blade, of course, felt a wave of guilt flood him when he saw the foals and the mares, and all he could do was hope Surge wouldn't let them into the cell. The things they could do...

 

As they walk in....Here he is. Captain Fire Blade of the Unicorn Stealth Force. The families look into the cell at the stitched up unicorn. Both of the wives look at him. General...may we go in there? We need to say this to his face. Looking at Fire Blade remembering what he asked for......Sure why not. He cant use his magic so feel free. I only ask that you dont harm him. Very well. Mia stay with your brother. Mezio stay with Mia and her brother. The two mares walk in the cell, sit down across the room from FB. Well hello Captain Fire Blade. Well hello Captain Fire Blade. They said at the same time.

He sat up against the bed, obviously a bit scared.

"Th-there must be a mistake... I'm not a captain. I've never been a captain..."

He didn't know what to do. He could only hope they would pull knives on him or something.

"I haven't been part of the Unicorn military for too long, and-"

He stopped short.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Aelicine was standing in the middle of a glowing circle of runes, as a few of her disciples helped her fuel the spell. "Alright, show me what you need me to see, Seline," she whispered. Her eyes glowed, and she saw a prison, though not through normal eyes. She saw a unicorn who had been tortured, but it seemed that, by the amount of emotional energy, the torturer had hurt himself more. She mourned for the unicorn as her vision shifted to a bedroom, where the was literally an emotional black hole, and a mare trying to help him. She figured this was the torturer, and that was his mare. Every now and then, he would spark up, but it was like a lightbulb flicker. She was shot back into her own body; she had much to think about.

[Nightfall 3,950]

He let her hug him, but looked away, "It's hard to love a monster, Shelby," he said, saddly, "But a monster will never try to hurt you for trying." He let out a few silent tears, smelling her scent, and feeling her softness. And even though he couldn't meet her eyes, he subconsciously pressed into her.

 

"Velnir. I told you to forget about the past. Try to think of the future; of our future. You need to start going back to make herbal remedies. Maybe that could take your mind of this trouble..."

She hugged him a bit more tightly. Soon enough, she had fallen asleep.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom stood outside on her four hooves and watched as everypony was getting prepared for war. She sighed as she watched ponies putting on helmets and armor, while others sharpened their weapons. There was also supplies being moved around, constantly.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir felt her fall asleep on him, but knew such a feat would not be possible for him. He could fake happiness for her, but inside he felt empty. Thinking about her, being near her, it helped, but he was pretty advanced in his state of depression. As soon as he started feeling better, he'd think of the torture, and how he'd felt; scared, sad, confused, and... Crazy, the scary euphoria and feeling of power. He hated it, and by extension, hated himself for feeling it. He crawled slowly and gently out from under her, and went outside, heading for the forest.

[MagicalStarRain 599]

Star Rain shows up at the location where the army is preparing for war. Having already been filled in about what's going on, she got her armor on immediately. She chose a thin sword of medium length as her weapon(a samurai sword), and couldn't help but notice a white pegasus mare(Cherry Blossom) outside. Curious as to why she wasn't preparing, she asked,"Who are you? How come you aren't getting ready?"

 

Even though she was a little angry at the Earth Ponies for "hoarding" the food, she didn't blame them as a whole. She was also scared about killing any civilians.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom looked and turned around to see a Unicorn talking to her. "Me? I-I'm just here to give medical support," she replied, now with her full attention to Star Rain.

 

Pegasus and Unicorn soldiers were moving back in forth into their units and to their platoons. War was imminent and wouldn't be stopped so easily.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir stopped in front of a tree. It wasn't some random tree, the bottom half looked well-bucked. He leaned against it and spread his things around him. It was without any form of passion. Taking the sickle, he scrawled symbols on the ground, without any real purpose.

"Oh ok," Star Rain replied. She leaned against the side of the entrance. She summoned her book and read it and found some rocks to use as bait when needed. She changed the rocks' colors and made them sparkle and gleam. After that, she wrote in a diary.

 

Dear diary,

 

Today, I'm headed off to my very first battle. It's against the Earth Ponies. To be honest, I'm not so keen on fighting this battle. True, the Earth Ponies are keeping our food away from us, but I don't blame them as a whole for the actions of a few. Letrix also told me that their leader will be coming after me because there was no evidence I wasn't involved in the killing. I'll just have to keep my eyes open, my horn glowing, and my hooves steady.

Shelby woke up and noticed Velnir was gone. In her heart, she wished him the best and that he wouldn't get hurt.

As do i. ...............The teen said nothing. The foals just walked silently. Surge walked over to Fire Blade cell. Then is how we do things here.

 

Fire Blade felt like backing up further. He didn't want to suffer anymore. Yet if he did, he would grind his back into the wall. He was scared. Especially when it felt like some other-worldly feeling came on him that he was being watched for a few moments.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Sapphire saluted Vinyl. "So there is no way of avoiding war with the earth ponies?" She asked the empress.

 

"No, not unless they stop hoarding our nations' rations. Now fall in." Vinyl returned the salute and turned to Commander Greylight. "So what will be our course of action?"

 

((Sorry I took this long to post. I was waiting for the earth ponies to have their scene and, by the time y'all were finished, I forgot about responding))

((Razorwing needs to get back in here as well.))

 

"We create a massive storm and try to beat the Earth Ponies into submission that way. I trust you will want to go in first, but I want you to stay back and try to keep at least the good safe, not to mention any prisoners of either of our kingdoms."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir leaned against the tree and sighed sadly. The tree seemed to shiver against his weight, and he closed his eyes, "Giving Tree, tonight there is a hole in me. I maimed and poisoned again. I feel emptied. Irrational. I lack motivation to continue." He felt a searing pain around his cutie mark and ground with pain. A green mare, with hair seemingly of leaves, and a mask. Her eyes glinted with a smile as she gazed down upon him. "Velnir, Velnir, Velnir. It has been a while." The voice was clear and lighthearted. "You love her, don't you? I can't think of a better mare for you; she makes an honest living, she's strong, and the many trees I speak with enjoy listening to her sing while she works."

 

Velnir stairs at her, "I love her, but-"

 

"No buts. You are like a son to me, your love for her is stronger than your self loathing. Stop marring your soul, you need your heart. There may be a time when your body is cut up, and then it will be important for you to keep your mind and spirit." She hugged him close and slid her mask up.

 

"But, Maple, what if-"

 

"Be at peace, young disciple. I willingly absolve you, your punishment being your soul-snare. I freely give it back. Now I must go, Seline has spoken to me of something... Disturbing." She placed a hoof on his cutie mark, and he squirmed in pain. When he awoke, his sickle was gone, and in it's place was a short, wooden dagger. It was shorter then his normal one, with a maple leaf hilt guard. His hip felt raw, and he was tired. He felt a little different, but he staggered off towards home, picking up his things. He entered the building, rubbing his face, and felt such a pang of emotions as he saw his marefriend he nearly cried.

 

(Long story short, I changed his cutie mark into a maple leaf. Feel free to notice)
