I was originally going to write an enormous introduction post, but that won't happen since I don't particularly know where to start it. When you are ready, you may begin
"Visibility reads 1 foot in all directions. Stay on guard." Riposte braved the harsh weather, as some pony in the dome was reading him battle conditions. He would have to be extremely careful. It was common to get separated in the wastes. He drew his estoc, and held it as his side. He would have to strike fast should he bump into something.
(Wow, dead already?) A lonesome Ryborian wandered down an empty path of frost and ice, her armour protecting her from the elements. She wore a cloth around her mouth to keep her warm while the upper half of her head shown only beauty. Dressed in an armour of black gold and purple, the Ryborian headed across a frozen wasteland. Nobody would dare come across her, not even the darkness. Alexia was a young Ryborian survivor of the evil that came across the sea, having mastered combat at a young age to save her own world. Her race was represented amongst the Alliance as a key member, although the Ryborian's were hit fairly hard when Ardelan fell. Around her neck was a necklace of Sihana, the Ryborian Goddess of Creation and Life and the chief deity of The Nine Divines. She prayed each night to the goddess to survive the horrors that were going to come, and the horrors that passed in which she was grateful to be alive. Other than what came to be the "Safe Zone", which extended some distance in the south past Equestria, entire countries and cities were left in ruins against the disgusting menace. Alexia's battle wasn't finished until the creatures were no-more, and she would give her life to see peace return to her world.
Riposte suddenly bumped into something- or someone. He held his estoc ready, and steeled his resolve. "Who's there?!" Answer before I cut you to ribbons!"
"Ryborian, lower your weapon" Alexia responded. If she was being mugged, it wouldn't had been the first time some wannabe thief wanted to tangle with her. However, she could tell in the voice of the other pony that it wasn't a thief.
Riposte focused his vision, then sheathed his weapon. "I apologize, it's hard to see in this snowstorm. What brings a Ryborian this far north ?
Alexia paused her lips before answering. "I'm coming from the South to investigate something for the Alliance. I have been summoned by Celestia personally, although I don't really know why. There is a meeting that is taking place in the Dome soon that contains the leaders of each nation in the Alliance, including the Eriborian."
