open Mercs of Equestria rp

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri trotted away from the group, and down the hallway to the front of the castle. He looked around for a guard to discuss with. He was no detective, but he was willing to give it a shot. Better than being with the group. It had only been minutes, but he felt unappreciated somewhat. It was from his upbringing that he felt like this. Depressive, angry, guilty, and no self-esteem. Well, it all racked ontop of the pain from Fluttershy missing. "Excuse me." Dimitri said to a guard standing at the entrance gate. The guard turned and raised an eyebrow. "Did you know the Princesses are missing...?" The guard stood wide-eyed for a moment, and then galloped into the castle.

Draco sighed at Acheron and just used one of his cutting spells to slice lightly across Acheron's back. "Enough I can get us the information from a friend in Nw Colt city," Draco said as he walked. "You okay Majestic?" Draco asked as he walked slowly. Blood seeped from his wound.

Majestic Bloom after sketching the design focused herself on watching the scenery that the windows presented. Her ears perked up when she heard Draco asking if she was ok, "Yea, I guess I am." She was fine, just disgusted by the scene that happened before her.  

[dragon4111 914]

"It's something that needs to be done some times," Draco said as he looked at Majestic "Anyhow what you saw just now is why I do't use anyy offensive magic. I lack the control needed for precise cuts. Or rather I get angry as you jut saw," he said as he looked into her eyes.

"I know, it just, it isn't right," Majestic Bloom responded as she turned to face Draco. And after a while, she spoke, "So, does that mean you use defensive spells mainly?" If Draco is horrible at offensive, then he must be good at defensive right? Defensive spells aren't as difficult as one that require precise control over one's magic.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Damn..." Dimitri whispered as the guard ran off. "Ahh Home, Let me come home. Home is wherever I with you..." He sung under his breath as he trotted back to the group. He missed her. Every waking moment. He felt even more useless. He stopped and sat in the middle of the hallway. He closed his eyes and held back his tears. "This is no time to cry. Crying helps nothing. You need to be strong for her. Just go back to the and get working..." He came upon his allies and sat nearby.

 

"Did you learn anything at all from those guards?" he asked sullenly.

[dragon4111 914]

"What I do have is power. ANd the magic I use s mainly summoning as a last resort and levitation," Draco said as he looked at Majestic. "I won't tell you but it's two summons. Anyhow it's mostly levitation," Draco said as he looked at his back "Oh that smart definitely,"

[Demirari 454]

"Information? No, nothing," Majestic Bloom replied. She hadn't really done anything but watch as two stallions torture ponies, then she spoke to Draco, "Ah so you can summon and levitation?" So this stallion in front of her can summon, interesting. She wondered what he can summon.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco nodded "Aye yes I can my dear lady," Draco said and then sighed "You see Majestic I can analyze the situation or rather see what other's can't," Draco said as he looked at Dimitri. "I have information for where to go," he said "My family library in Canterlot er here I mean,"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"So, what are we dealing with here? I mean, the monarchs are missing as well as my wife and friends. This seems really bad....." Dimitri rubbed his forehead and patted his mane down. "Well, if we know where to go let us go. I sure the guards will take care of this here. We should just hurry up and find out as much as we can. Especially a location...I want to find her." He looked over to the tortured guards. One dead, the other still bound by that Acheron character. He felt a chill down his back. There would be more violence to come....

[dragon4111 914]

"Acheron kill  that guard that insignia has an enchantment that shows the one who holds the lash," Draco said "As I said the Cult of the Seneschal. Seneschal of light is an ancient alicorn once spurned by Celestia and luna for his ways of being absolute," he said. "This is all from my memory," he said once more. "Generations trying to find the Seneschals. It's written in my family's tomes that there are 7 generals each reflect a greed,"

[Demirari 454]

"Interesting. So that means they reflect off of greed, envy, lust, wrath, sloth, pride, gluttony," Majestic Bloom replied, interested in these seven generals. And Seneschal of Light, who was he exactly? Majestic Bloom had never heard of him before, until now.

Mystic returned to Equestria after having completed a contract from the griffon lands. when she arrived, a courier intercepted her with a letter. after reading the letter, she realised she was already late and made haste to the location of the other mercs. after a while of searching, she eventually found them, but did not approach. instead she casted a spell that sent a message into the minds of her allies without any noise

"I have arrived, I can see you all. how shall I assist?"

she kept to the shadows

[Demirari 454]

"Huh?" Majestic Bloom spoke, alerted. Was she imagining something or did somepony speak? Majestic Bloom looked around, confused. After finding no one except the guards and her fellow traveling companions, she spoke, hopefully not sounding insane, "Did somepony hear a voice?"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Hello?" Dimitri confusedly whispered. He looked over to Majestic and heard her speak. "I heard something...I not know what it is though.." He looked around the area and kept his guard up. Well, the voice did say assist....maybe it was friendly. "Where are you?" he asked as he trotted around the room.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

Mystic pondered showing herself to the bearded stallion for a while, before finally deciding and jumped off the wall where she was hanging and landed before them

"no need to raise your weapons at me, for we are on the same side. professional assassin and fellow Merc of Equestria"

she said, not giving her name quite yet

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Well, hello." Dimitri was rather apprehensive of the stranger, but the more help the better. Anything to help him quicken the search for his beloved. She was a little strange though. An assassin...? He was not a fan of that profession....if you could call it that. He noticed she did not give a name. "Is nice to meet you. I am Dimitri Hammer." he nodded at her, gave a smile, and stuck out his hoof. A customary polite greeting.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

Mystic shook Dimitri's hoof

"Mystic Dawn"

she gave a small formal curtsy before turning her attention to the task at hoof

"what is it we are planning at the current moment?"

she stood and waited for an order of what she should do, or if there were any more questions 

[dragon4111 914]

Draco looked at Mystic "Draco O'Malley and currently Acheron over there is being alittle useless," he said as he sighed. "Anyhow follow me," he said as he walked towards the family's old home. "We'll find more information at my family's library," Draco said as he was disturbed.

[Demirari 454]

"How does your family have information on this cult?" Majestic Bloom asked following Draco. How did Draco exactly know? That was suspicious, really suspicious. Or she was just being paranoid as hell. Maybe a bit of actual suspicion and just pure paranoia.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Useless O'Malley? All you've done so far is maim a lead of ours badly enough to where the only solution left was to kill him anyway!"

 

Acheron walked over the now unconscious body of the decoy guard. He hadn't killed him, but he had used subtle magics to drain information out of his minds. These dark spells are what led to both the guard's small mind wipe and unconsciousness. Acheron had also used some minor flame spells to sear off the insignias from his body and thus remove the magic attached to them. 

Though the unicorn had gained some useful insights, it was rather broad and vague, and only a few things about this cult and its leaders clicked in his head. Acheron was rather irritated by this, he could have easily sapped even more insight from this decoy were it not for the others around him. For now, he needed to restrain himself from using his actual magic, lest he cause an uproar among the group before they even get on their way for this task.

Acheron looked to the newcomer. Had she just used a telepathic spell on him and the others? Wow, it took some skill to do that with more than just one target.

"Looks like I'll have to keep my wits about me and focus on resisting such unwanted entries..."

 

No one should ever even have the slightest connection to Acheron... ever. It never ended well.

 

After giving Mystic Dawn a quick looking over, he simply gave a small bow.

 

"My name is Acheron," he said monotonously. He was really getting tired of introducing himself, and he hadn't even done it that many times. Acheron usually preferred to just keep a low profile and stay out of everyone's attention, but apparently that wasn't going to happen here. 

 

Acheron decided to make a mention of Draco's knowing of the Seneschal cult.

 

"His family, from what I gathered, had some run ins with this Cult in the past."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco sighed "It's called investigating. And simple my family despite not being knights anymore choose to follow leads sometimes false sometimes true but it always leads back to the Cult. So yeah can't really say much but information from inside members through the ages,"

"That's the point I was making Acheron,"

"Interesting," Majestic Bloom responded back. Now that made sense, though a little strange. So many questions she had, but decided to store those away for a later time. Her curiosity satisfied, along with her paranoia. She couldn't simply jump into conclusions.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"so how many 'leads' did your family find, O'Mally?"

Mystic asked, wanting to piece together the full puzzle of what needs to be done before she can do anything relating to the task at hoof. she also wondered how she would be of use to the group, her best skills were acrobatics and stealth

[dragon4111 914]

Draco chuckled and said "Deep enough to know the generals' sexes," Draco said "Oh and they treat their prisoners with respect not torture. so we shouldn't worry too much," Draco said "But still we should hurry," Draco said as he walked  quickly. "Dimitri, Acheron, and Majestic, I need your help looking for the right books. My family was properly paranoid,"
