Three groups of ponies approached "Equestria". A trio of pegasi, A trio of unicorns, and one lone earth pony. Equestria was in all honesty nothing to look at. The entireity of it comprised of six tents, with a few ponies being able to be seen amidst them. Despite the truce that had been announced between the races there was still quite a lot of hostility between everypony, clear lines dividing the tents into groups of two. Instructing the unicorns in how to begin colonizing the land was the aide of Platinum, Clover the Clever. In charge of the pegasi was the gruff leader of the pegasi himself, Commander Hurricane. The earth ponies that had arrived didn't really seem to have a leader, rather working together on their tasks. The one that seemed to be playing the largest role in organization was somepony named Swift. However, before each of the new arrivals can seperate and go to their own encampment, the earth pony, Swift saunters up to them. "Hello all, my names Swift, an' this here is Equestria. It aint much to look at right now, which is why we could sure use your help. Ya see, in the forests northeast of here there are these things called timberwolves. Nasty buggers they are, but according to that unicorn Clover the wood that their bodies are made of is vital for building. If it aint too much of a problem for you could ya go get some?"
Inferno looked at the Earth Pony called swift, sort of hovering near by. "Could there be some... Fire... Wood?" She gran sheepishly at the thought of setting alight without getting yelled at.
Swift shot the grinning pegasus a look. "Ah don't think that burnin the wood's gonna help with buildin up the place an' all." Swift walks back towards the earth pony part of the camp muttering to himself. "Damned pegasi, Half of 'em are arrogant as unicorns, the other half are all crazy blighters, nothing good's gonna come of this truce."
I heard someone muttering about us! "Watch your tongue you earth pony! I heard what you saying! You do not insult us, the Pegasus, like that!" Iris Rapture, the newcomer of Equestria, raise her voice at Swift. She's kinda upset the fact how Swift comment things about Pegasus. Then she turn back to speak with Inferno, the Pyromaniac. "Sadly Inferno, the future of Equestria is in our hand. Those Earth Pony had some point! I think we are suppose to knock down those walking woods (timberwolves) and cut some woods rather than turn them into ash.That would not solve anythings at all if we burn it down." Iris point at the northeast forest where the timberwolves located . "We need those woods to settle things out for the brighter future of our mighty Equestria!" Iris start to head back to Pegasus Camp direction. "We better to start to head back to our camp rather than wasting our time for having conversation with these ponies. We better to settle things out first. I will wait at our camp.. bye.." She turn back and say... "And Inferno, please do not burn our camp ^^ for our sake"
"HEY! Now need to fight!" Snow suddenly interjected, "We are one nation now, and I personally don't want us to fall apart once more."
Inferno sighed. "Do I really come off as stupid? I was asking. That way I can determine how important this wood is. Jeez, I may be a pyro but I'm no and idiot."
Rashall just shrugged and started walking towards the forest in search of these timberwolves. Commander Hurricane knew that he was an outsider to even the other ponies here and Rashall knew that many of the Pegasuses kept their distance from him when they could.
"as snow said we are one nation meaning we will need to work together". Alchemy then looked at platinum and hurricane who still refused to work with the other races. "if we want to survive we need a plan... Well I'm stumped anyone else got one".
Snow sighed, "Let's just carry on." she thought back to her life in the Unicorn castle, how Princess Platnum and the king were mere figureheads that followed (almost) her every whim. SHE was the true power behind the unicorns, but no pony needed to know that.
Rashall moved away from the main group of ponies silently as he always did. The camoline cloak was great for concelment coupled with his silent walking.
"I'll have you know, not all the unicorns are bad." Hibiscus said as he trotted up to Swift's side. "I met a particularly nice one recently, and she actually knew her stuff! It's the pegasi I don't trust. Never have, possibly never will; but I'm always up for change."
Rashall stopped as he wondered through the nearby forest, hearing the sounds of tree's cracking. As he silently approached the noise he saw the source of the sound. A pack of five timberwolves, as they moved their limbs creaked as if they were the trees in the forest around them. Young Timberwolf Lv 2 HP: 18/18 DMG: 2-3 Timberwolf Lv 3 HP: 27/27 DMG: 3-4 Timberwolf-Pack Leader Lv 5 HP: 50/50 DMG: ??? Timberwolf Lv 3 HP: 27/27 DMG: 3-4 Young Timberwolf Lv 2 HP: 18/18 DMG: 2-3
TickTock listened to the other ponies, and after hearing what they had to say, she began saunterng over to the unicorn tents, looking back every so often, cautious of everypony. "Oh they won't hurt me. They are new to this land just like me. We all just need to find a way to...do something" TickTock realized that she sounded incompetent. "Oh listen to yourself Ticker. You don't know anything at all." TickTock continued on without another word to herself.
Snow managed to separate herself from the group and snuck into the unicorn royalty's tent, "Hello again King Goldmine." she greeted the King. "Hello again Snow." he replied. "I've been thinking, monacharies will clearly be unable to rule over such a mash of cultures and races, as if one rules, it would be unfair to the others. Why don't we try something new, how about something called a 'Republic'?" the King had an interested look on his face, Snow's honeyed words leeching into his weak mind, "Go on." he said. Snow smiled, "Well, you see, ponies come together and vote for a large 'Council' that will make desicions and a 'President' to lead the council. That way, race isn't an issue, it is whomever is fairly and freely elected." the King nodded, "I like it, I'll suggest it at the summit later today." he said. "Wait, don't you think I would be better at it than you would?" Snow asked. "Hm, good idea, why don't you go to the summit in my stead?" The King asked. "I would be honored, now I must settle in, and thank you again." as Snow left the tent, a smile spread across her face, Perfect, she thought.
Platnum had returned to her seperate enclosed area of the tent when she heard a voice near her, "Don't scream, don't do anything." said Snow, stepping out from the shadows. "How, how did you get in here?" she asked quietly. "Short-range teleportation, but that doesn't matter. Listen Princess Platnum, I know you probably want to know what I want and so here it is, I only want these things; 1: I want change, and maybe a little bit of power, and I'm getting it the only way I can. 2: Call me crazy but I want this nation to succeed, more than that, I want it to THRIVE, but in order for that to happen, the old order has to be swept away in order to bring in a new, functional government that can truly bring Equestria to its full potential. I'll make you a deal Platnum, help me, and I will guarantee you a place on the coming Council and nothing ill that I can control will befall your family. I'll leave you to make the choice, if you accept, show up to the summit wearing this in your headdress." Snow levitated out a beutiful white flower, "It's called a White Hope. But if you refuse, come with a red rose. I must go." and then Snow disappeared with a flash outside of the tent, leaving Platnum to mull over her offer.
"Who are you? What do you want?" ...Who am I? You know who I am. We met each other before. I am your only friend, remember? "Stop talking non-sense! I'm not your friend anymore! I don't know what you are talking about?" ....What I'm talking about?.. he he You know what I'm talking about... You cannot run away from me.. I am always watching you where ever you go.. You cannot escape your fate.. “What do you want from me!?" hee hee....Will be see you on the other side.... "WAAHHH!!!!" Iris wake up and scream in panic. She sweats all over her body. She quickly grab her glasses and look around her tent. “Stay away from me!” But there is nothing but slient... The tent is empty. "Sigh, it just a dream..” She grasp to herself silently. She feels relief that there is no sight of the 'thing'. “Yawn -O-... not this again...” Then, she slowly crawls out from her tent. She look up at the sky and thinks Um.. One good BIG MUG of cider might be a great start to set up the Equestria. “What a lovely day! Start up with full health!” Iris see Commander Hurricane and said "Good day Commander Hurricane! How are you doing!" Then, she ask Commander Hurricane to give her permission to meet Earth Pony. Commander Hurricane doesn't seem happy with my idea but he let me go. Before Iris leaves the camp, Commander Hurricane said "Watch out those ponies! They are full of lies" and start to head forward to the Earth Ponies Camp. "As I remember the old Earth Pony name Hibiscus love to drink cider (cuz’ he look like drunkard all the time). Those ponies might have some cider to start the day!"
Alchemy was messing around in his alchemical chest and being as he was staying with clover the clever he had a little help. "clover, thanks for helping me, you know your sister lily the mixer taught me everything I know about both you and potions". After a nice bit of small chat clover and alchemy started talking about new potions. "so your saying that if I apply a bit of my own blood (due to it being poison immune) along with poison joke petals, lavender and goo moss, I can create a potion that counteracts any type of poison. Well if the news about the king being poisoned being true I must do something". He took the ingredients from clovers chest and also a sewing needle. He prepared the ingredients in a cauldron and put his hoof above the cauldron and slowly inserted the pin into the hoof and slowly took it out". Clover: "whoah, seems like alchemys down for the count. I guess it's up to me to finish the potion". After about an hour alchemy woke up from bloodloss and the potion was complete".
Inferno flew over to the edge of the forest and sighed. "Do I really come across as a Pyromaniac idiot? I just happen to specialize is fire... Hmm... I wonder why... I come across as such..." She hung her head low as she looked into the forest. She gazed into the darkness, and sat there, thinking.
Iris arrive in front of the Earth Pony Camp. She stare at the gate and knock the door and wait for somepony to open the gate and let her in... "We have to talk about Apple Cider!" -^- she shout and hopefully somepony could hear it.. "We need CIDER PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!" Still waiting...
