Without lifting her head, Chamois looked up at the pony who seemed to be speaking to her.  Also she confirmed this, she raised her head.  "Oh...is it?" she said, glancing down at the book to see if she could spy a three.  "I didn't really look at it before I began to read..." she said, almost apologetically.

" As long as you didn't read anything that could completely spoil your experience, you're fine. The first one is Beautiful Creatures, I think. It's been a while since I read the series."

 

Lyona then looked at the shelves where the pony had found the book. " Here you go. Beautiful Creatures, book one Caster Chronicals. I'm Lyona, by the way."

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 20]

Apolyon was starting to get distracted by the noise and by the amount of people, and if that was not bad for Apolyon was having trouble containing his alter ego Apollyon. Looking around Apolyon located the door and made his way to the door trying to avoid contact with the other ponys and without completely standing up. Apolyon almost hated his size, for someone who does not like being noticed being twice as large as most ponys does not help.

(OOC: Me spelling Apolyon, Apollyon is not a typo)

Sunny Dew gave them both a nod and headed out the door. She was still getting used to this. She didn't know why she was required to be escorted by guards in a place like Ponyville, but she feared that they may come to use today. The uneasy, ominous feeling worsened as they made their way to the library, but she tried to ignore it as she held her head high and trotted through the town.

Golden followed close behind, consider the ponies of Ponyville and thinking on the fact this could be considered a city of heroes causing him to ask, "Did Princess Twilight and her friends really use to live here?" He was honestly curious and hoped starting a conversation with Sunny while they walked wouldn't be a problem.

@@EquestrianScholar, 

Sunny nodded. 

"Yes, since Princess Twilight's coronation I was able to speak with her as she was in Canterlot more often. and he sometimes told me of her friends," she said, smiling as she recalled how the mare had always looked so nostalgic when describing some of the adventures she had had with her friends. She was glad they were in a better place, together, sad as it may be.

"While they were not all born here, they did all reside in Ponyville. We're heading to where Princess Twilight herself lived right now."

"You mean the Ponyville Library," the stallion asked intrigued a small smile playing on his face despite the mood but lost it as he considered something else. Not sure he should ask but deciding it couldn't hurt he asked, "Did... did Princess Twilight speak on her mentor Princess Celestia? I always wondered if the princess acted as differently with her students as she did from her subjects to her sister."

[Feather Gem 968]

@@LittleRawr,

 

As Chamois was only a little ways into the second page, she nodded and reached out to take the book.  She didn't speak too much, hoping to get the conversation over with.  But as the pony had given her name, Lyona, Chamois felt compelled to give her own name as well.

"I'm Chamois Vine.  Thanks."

[LittleRawr 679]

@@Feather Gem,

 

" Nice to meet you, Chamois Vine." Lyona replied.

 

She doesn't want to talk, I guess. I understand, probably just want to read the book. The pegasus then turned around to leave. She paused for a moment and looked over her shoulder.

 

" Enjoy the book." With that, Lyona left to mingle with the other ponies.

[Feather Gem 968]

@@LittleRawr,

 

Chamois nodded at her as she left her alone.  For a moment, Chamois sat quietly, staring into the air.  But as soon as that moment was over, she opened the book to the first page and gave a silent sigh as she began to read.

It didn't matter.  In the end, it never did.

[sunne 660]

@@EquestrianScholar, 

Sunny thought for a moment.

"She did." she said, continuing to walk. "But even if she hadn't, I could have answered the question myself. I was Celestia second highest student. She didn't treat her students too differently, maybe a little more disciplinary so nopony thought they could slack off, but  still as gracious as ever. She was immensely proud on Princess Twilight's coronation day. "

Though, I'm not sure if she'd be as proud on my own day to come were she still here, she thought. 

"Princesses Twilight and Celestia seemed to share a bond of some sort. Not quite sisterly, but not quite mother-daughter either."

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 20]

Apolyon sighed the outside wide open spaces where a change to inside the library witch would normally would be a comporting place but all the ponys inside made it feel claustrophobic. Apolyon took a couple deep breaths and gathered the energy to teleport he finished casting the spell. Apolyon never liked doors he preferred teleportation to most methods of movement, Suddenly Apolyon's delayed teleport came into affect as he telported to the mid section of the stairs, Apolyon almost slapped himself once he was in the library he forgot that teleportation spells were noisy and bright. Crap, was the only thing Apolyon could think.

Am I late to the party?

 
Emerald watched the library loom steadily over the horizon as she approached: why she, or all ponies, had been called to this affair, she couldn't understand. It made no sense: she had given up on that life some time ago. Shaking her head to herself and vowing not to draw attention to herself as she always would at these kind of meetings in the past, she pushed open the door and stepped carefully inside.
 
"Oh for... This is terrible. The absolute last thing I wanted to see. Perhaps It's not too late to back out? Walk away: things would all be better now if I knew when to just walk away." The mare thought to herself, allowing the occasional incoherent word to escape carelessly under her breath as she did.
 
She didn't turn and leave, of course. Not yet anyway: her curiosity was piqued, just enough to stay for the time being.
 
"I shall hear what heartless mission they wish to set me on this time, if only for the pleasure of knowing what I have avoided."

@Sweet Symphony

"Well I believe the princess would be proud of you," Golden says graciously before adding, "you are helpibg to continue the legecy of heroes."

The stallion grew quiet after this, following Sunny without another word as if deciding he had spoken enough and anymore would be too much.

Symphony had entered the Library unnoticed, and was now reading in the corner.

 

@@EquestrianScholar, 

Sunny nodded, smling. "Thank you, Golden Dawn."

 

They soon arrived at the Library. Sunny knocked on the door and they were greeted by a mare with a metallic blur=e coat, whose turquoise eyes widened as she recognized her. She bowed, and turned to the ponies in the Library.

"Everypony, please take a seat. Announcing the Princess-to-be, Miss Sunny Dew!"

 Sunny blushed. She wasn't used to being introduced like this. She walked to the center of the room and faced the several ponies, ready to begin.

 

 

Sweet immediately snapped her book shut and turned her chair to face the center of the room. She stood up and bowed.

 

 

Color Spark brought Firecracker to a chair, and before sitting, they both bowed.

 

((So, we are ready to start with the plot, everypony! I will start it up soon.))

Persi took up a position on the side of the room, she bows along with everypony else

'So this is the new Princess ah? She's a little beauty ain't she, looks a bit nervous, lets hope she's up for facin' the pollies. That guard looks a bit tense too, not surprising givin this places history for trouble. Great, now I'm strain' to rethink comin here'

[Milk Wave 454]

"Hm, what, what the~?"

Moon started to become confused a bit, but set her mind straight just after. From hearing what was said just now, she turned toward the voice and bowed down. Of course not being able to see, Moon didn't exactly bow towards Sunny Dew but instead towards the pony who announced it.

Princess-to-be?.... Oh wait, that pony. Teehe~

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"Perfect, another fine pony to be moulded into a heartless tyrant in the name of Canterlot." Muttered Emerald as she watched the sickeningly overblown entrance: grand, eye catching...

 

Exactly the kind she would have made herself in a more naive time.

[Penguin 34]

Winter hears shouting across the library, which is very unusual. He gets out of his chair and puts the book back in its right place. He casually walks towards the center of the room and sees the princess standing firm ready to announce something as he walks up to the side and gently bows down.

[LittleRawr 679]

 

 

"Perfect, another fine pony to be moulded into a heartless tyrant in the name of Canterlot."

 

Lyona sat down beside the mare. " You've got something against the Princesses?" She muttered, looking at Emerald Gaze with her eyes narrowed. She might be trouble... No, that's just the royal guard training kicking in. Be nice. 

 

" I'm Lyona." With that, she turned to face the Princess-to-be with a small bow before sitting back up. 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"Emerald." Responded the mare. "I do. Is that a problem?"

 

Perhaps a more barbed response than what she should have made but still: this Pegasus with her white knight attitude... what did she know?

 

"They will leave you for dead within a heartbeat to further their goals." She hissed quietly.

[LittleRawr 679]

 

 

"They will leave you for dead within a heartbeat to further their goals." She hissed quietly.

 

" I was a royal guard, and guarded Princess Celestia's chambers a couple of times. I'm sure ponies who squeal over chocolate cake and then go to prank their sister are not ponies who'll leave you dead." Lyona whispered, keeping her eyes on the Princess. She then took a quick glance at Emerald Gaze, a smirk on her face.

 

" The nobility are another case." 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Royal guard? That explained a lot.

 

"No? And I suppose one wouldn't, say, banish their sister to the moon for a thousand years either? Don't be so naive!"

 

Of course, the guard were kept in the dark as much as the diplomats were: she doubted either ground even knew half of what the other was ordered.

 

"Our lives are just a game for those in power."

[LittleRawr 679]

A scowl marred Lyona's features.

 

" If Princess Celestia didn't want her sister, she could've simply killed her. Pass it off as the elements killing Princess Luna. But, the night Princess is still alive, am I right? She even visited Ponyville once, from what I've heard."

 

At Emerald's next words, her scowl grew. " We are not playthings. Only Discord would do such a thing."

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

 

Being mean to Lyona makes me sad.

 

 

"Keep telling yourself that. What is it they say? Ignorance is bliss?"

 

Of course she wasn't going to listen: she didn't know fear like Emerald had, hadn't seen the results of being abandoned by ones 'benevolent ruler' in her time of need...

 

Well, she had tried to warn her. Let her find out for herself then: Emerald had seen it before - the royal guard were just as expendable as she had been.

[LittleRawr 679]

 

 

"Keep telling yourself that. What is it they say? Ignorance is bliss?"

 

Lyona glanced over at Emerald Gaze. " If ignorance is bliss, then you must be the happiest pony alive. "

 

Who does she think she is? Lyona fumed silently. I would move now, but everypony's in place. Don't want to disturb anypony because of her... I'll just stay here. Hopefully she won't talk back.
