Edmond: Well, he was by definition, dead, in practically the same way as Az was, if I'm right? It's only recently that it turns out that a piece of his consciousness was pulled back.
Silver shook his head. "The Architect made it clear that he was not subject to Equestrian law. Therefore, he was not entitled to any of the rights and protections afforded to loyal subjects of the princesses." *********************************************** Blackheart grinned. "Extremely well, actually. We're looking into ways to miniaturize the cutting laser to use in conjunction with the bots. In theory, we could have discovered a way to mine out ore safely, with minimal environmental impact."
Midnight glanced at him and trotted over to him "Hello, you must be Silver? What are you doing here?" she asked him, still wearing the crown on her head. He would definitely notice that. "Also whos ordering you around as well? I need to have a little chat with you and your actions" she remarked. "Also you see that shadow portal? This is under the protection of the shadow empire, you shall not harm anypony here without my say so" she added
Silver glanced at the new mare. "I have not seen one of your kind in many years, Shadow Pony. Why have you come to this world?"
Edmond: Still though, that's kinda assassination of foreign dignitary. You don't know how many other Empires and civilizations are still angry. If not for their respect of him, they would've burned this world from Time. Heck, I'm glad that Arch sent that message as he died, the one stopping them from doing so. I mean, if say, a visitor from the other side of this planet were to visit, they aren't subjects of your princesses, would you kill them, if you heard them make an offhand comment about their status?By your definition, they aren't entitled to live?
"Why have I come? Well, several reasons really, first take my rightful place among the princesses of course, my kind ruled long before they were here, and they have returned, unless your going to oppose anyone friendly to the Princesses?" she said with a snort. "Second, because our Shadow portal is collapsing, because one of you light ponies meddled with that Architect, and caused lots of damage, which im intending you to fix" she remarked.
Griev: Edmond's right, just saying, based on what you said, Silver, if someone isn't subject to this country's laws, they don't deserve to live? I looked at your laws through psychic projection, says no where in them that, if someone who is a non-resident of this land, and thus not technically subject to these laws, that they must be killed, at worst they can be warned not to break the laws, and if they do break them, they can be deported. Now before you wrongly kill me for breaking no law of yours, I'll be departing. (Summoning the Light itself, and chanting) monus personus, exitus departus. *With that the Light flares around him, and fades taking him with it.*
Silver nodded to Edmond. "Were they to become a threat, absolutely." He then turned to the presumptuous shadow mare. "I hope you do not honestly believe that you, an outsider, would be welcomed into the royal hierarchy with open hooves."
Edmond: He never did follow through, and he made them after he was threatened by Silver, keep that in mind too. All the army actually did was cause a rumbling noise and a small amount of shaking. Even after all that, any damage that was done, Architect used his last moments to fix it. If he actually intended to do a lot of harm, he could've immolated himself.
(oh dear, you insulting her now? Thats not a smart move) "This world was shadow before, It can be Shadows again" she threatened. "I've not come all this way to be insulted, by a simple thug. You are not the Princess, you do not speak for them. Look around, you have no authority here" she remarked narrowing her eyes.
Azrael stood back up. "Don't worry about this one, Silver. One blow last time, and she retreated into the sword."
Edmond: ( grumbling,) My sword....and I still don't see why you should have the authority to determine whether or not somepony lives or dies. That piece of Architect's in a bad state. Hope that fragment survives.
Silver sighed, speaking to both Edmond and Midnight. "When it comes to the safety of Equestria, the Night Guards operate with the full authority of the princesses. If a threat is made, we have a duty to deal with that threat. It is as simple as that." He looked Midnight in the eye. "I am not a simple thug, my dear. I am the Captain of the Night Guard and a Knight of the Lunar Order. Do not threaten me."
Indeed. But that piece of him, is angry. It'd do well to avoid angering him further. So why are you here, Silver?
