Suddenly the pony coughed more blood so Icicle stopped talking and got to work, first he got the ponies armor off, then he did something strange, he took the bottle of snow he always kept on him, and opened it. Taking a knife he cut a good slice into his arm, blood came out, but this was no normal red blood, it was blue and cold, drops of blood fell into the bottle forming ice in the bottle, Icicle took the bottle shook it and poured the mixture into the ponies wounds, ice formed where the mixture fell forming ice scabs.

Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Glory was somewhat suspicious of both these ponies; however, she could not deny a place in the temple to anypony who needed it. She told the stranger who had just arrived that he could stay in the temple for as long as he wanted, but there was to be no fighting within its walls. She was shaken by what her instincts had told her about the amulet; not evil, but not good, either. It was a force of nature which could go either way depending on the will of the pony controlling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Kennedy 1,228 March 12, 2013 Author Share March 12, 2013 @, Gladius was sad to part with her, but he had more important things to attend to at the moment. Rushing to the palace, he saw several dead guards outside. Cursing himself for not being there to help, he continued into the palace, towards the sound of fighting. He arrived in the palace to see several guards, including the captain, surrounding a large griffon who, by the looks of things, had already killed many of the soldiers. Gladius drew his sword and rushed over to help them, but he wasn't fast enough. The captain raised his blade to strike, but before he could, the griffon lashed out with his talons, gashing him severely and sending him flying across the room. To Gladius, this all seemed to happen in slow motion as he ran towards the griffon, who made short work of the other guards. The griffon turned to face him, and it was a face that Gladius would never forget. The griffon's face was covered in scars, such that he hardly had any normal skin or feathers left. Gladius lunged at the griffon, but it quickly dodged his attack and disarmed him with a swipe of his claw, knocking Gladius' sword out of his grasp and onto the bloody floor. It was then that the griffon spoke, in a deep, raspy voice. "Ah, yes, the young sword prodigy; Iron Helm's son, if I'm not mistaken. Your father was a great warrior, and they say you've inherited his talents. If only you'd arrived sooner, maybe your talents could have saved your brothers in arms. But I've had enough for today; you get to live a little longer." Before Gladius had a chance to stop him, the griffon leapt into the air and flew off, leaving Gladius alone among the bodies of his victims. Gladius rushed over to where the captain was still laying, bleeding profusely but somehow alive. "Captain, who was that? What happened?" The captain barely had the strength to respond. "Raptor, a terrorist I thought we'd done away with years ago, when I was just a raw recruit. But it seems I was wrong, and now he's back. Gladius, as long as he's alive, the city is in terrible danger. Somepony has to..." The captain passed out, having lost far too much blood. Doing the only think he could think of, Gladius picked the captian up and carried him to the palace healer. The healer began treating his wounds, and told Gladius that he thought the captain would survive, but it would take a long time for him to recover. @, Gladius left the castle and went back to the arena, where Diamond was. He found her and hurried over. "Honored senator, something terrible has just happened! There was an attack at the palace and many of the guards died. The captain is severely wounded, but thankfully I think he'll survive. But more importantly, the griffon responsible for the attack is still on the loose somewhere in the city. You have to go somewhere safe; a prominent senator like you could be his next target." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Runner 160 March 12, 2013 Share March 12, 2013 Scar hadn't noticed Fire blush...he was to busy stabbing at a small piece of sandwich with his claw. He sighed and looked up, only to see her covering her face with her wing...he still didn't really get why. "Um...you okay there ?" He asked, forgetting about the sandwich which was now just a pile of crumbs and shredded veggies. "y-yeah, im f-fine..." Fire stammered, moving her wing from her face and scratching the back of her head with her talons. She picked up her sandwich and quickly took another bit, but she started staring at Scar's eyes. wow... his eyes are beautiful... she thought. she quickly shook her head to clear her thoughts.
