Icicle said in a way that sounded as if he did this type of thing almost everyday, in truth the amount of labor Icicle had to do in the irelands was equal to that of 50 years of training, yet Icicle was no older then 23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kennedy 1,228 March 14, 2013 Author Share March 14, 2013 @, Gladius just stared at her for a minute. She was drenched in sweat and covered in dirt from the fight, yet somehow she still managed to maintain the elegance and beauty that she always seemed to have. Then he realized he was staring and shook his head, snapping out of it. He headed into the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Light Diamond 2,801 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 @, Diamond's smile widened and she moved farther into the water. She dived in all the way and broke the surface with a relaxed sigh. She rolled over onto her back and used her wings to keep herself stable in the water @@jdor11, Scar laughed. "You want to fight me ? Really ? I think I would rather meet you again when you aren't ripped to shreds." He said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually he stopped, not far from Diamond, and just floated there for a while, content to just sit and watch her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icicle grabbed his vile a few seconds later a large scythe made of ice formed, "Just like now..." icicle said laughing, "Don't worry i will blunt the blade so i don't cut you..." a few seconds later the scythe became duller and was more of a pole with a blunt edge on it.

And I never said that you are a bad fighter...I am sure you are quite good at fighting...i'm just better." He said, bluntly. "Now, I am going to get something to drink." @, Diamond let out another relaxed sigh and looked over at Gladius. He really was a handsome colt, and just like before she found herself just kinda...staring at him. After realizing what she was doing she cleared her throat and looked up at the purple sky.

Alex Kennedy 1,228 March 14, 2013 Author Share March 14, 2013 @, Gladius saw her looking at him and figured she must have caught him staring. He looked away and tried to make something up to talk about that would distract from the awkwardness. "It... it certainly is a beautiful night, huh?" He cringed inwardly. That was a pretty weak line.

Miss Light Diamond 2,801 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 @, Diamond nodded. "Heh heh...y-yea." She replied.

Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 Ooc: Finding it difficult to post when nopony is interacting with me. -.- Glory walked away from the palace quickly, looking about her. She could sense that everypony around her was waiting for something else to happen and that the mood of the citizens had quickly changed from what it had been a few days ago. It was as tho there was something oppressive in the atmosphere, something which hadn't been there before. Glory wanted very much to speak to somepony about this, but was unsure about who to approach. Many ponies felt nervous about speaking to her, assuming that anypony who had both wings and a horn was an alicorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icicle walked around until he came to the palace, he saw Glory and realized he never let her look at the vile, walking over to her he only said "look at me through this."

Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 Surprised, Glory looked into the vial that Icicle handed to her. Inside, she saw a pale blue pegasus pony who she recognised as her mother, meeting with a red and indigo unicorn stallion. She gave a little gasp, realising that this must be the father she had never known. Glory's mother Starfall lived in another city; she sometimes visited the temple, knowing that her daughter could not leave it. But she had never mentioned Glory's father.

Was she closer than before? He must just be imagining it. "I can imagine how you would be. You have such a terrible burden to bare as one of the foremost members of the senate. Yet... the way you manage to appear so upbeat all the time, never cracking under the pressure... It takes so much courage and willpower. Not to mention the way you can make everyone else around feel so at ease. You're an amazing mare, ma'am." He subconsciously moved his hoof toward hers until they touched.
