Welcome, welcome, sit back, enjoy yourselves! This is purely for your entertainment, but beware, sometimes even in the most peaceful settings, death and destruction can rise...
Jhera checked to make sure all of his merchandise was in the correct location. When he was sure everything was neat and tidy, he grabbed a sign off the floor and hung it in his window. Turning it to 'open' and looked at it from the outside. Flowers and Fragrances was open for the day. Jhera turned towards the sun and smiled. Taking in a large breath, he yelled "Good morning, Ponyville!"
Firebreeze had just returned from his fourth weather hob this week. It was hurricane season in the Everfree forest and the workload was tiring to say the least. He flew over to his cloud, lied down, and fell asleep almost instantly.
Dark Shine got off of his cloud and decided he would pop in to see his friend Jhera at his shop. This time however he would go on foot, to avoid crashing.
J was walking towards the Ponyville market with his merchandise. It was a small wagon with some bags in it and a set of small jars filled with small orange peppers. Getting close to his locale he heard some one yell "Good morning, Ponyville!" and saw a chestnut colored pony in what seemed to be a perfume shop. He mentally said "G'morning.". Finally arriving at his area, he simply left the wagon in a designated area, let loose a small metallic hook form the edge and levitated the bags filled with herbs and spices around it. He then placed the small jars in a neatly piled pyramid where the wagon was opened and pulled out two signs, one saying 'J's Cooking Herbs and Spices' and the other one with a list of prices of his stuff. He finnaly finish with pulling an apple form a blue colored bag in the wagon and began eating it, waiting for the customers.
Angel Wisdom was wallking in the dusty hallways of the temple, going to her office. She was expecting a letter from an higher priest, a letter that could change her life. The only temple was in Canterlot, but in the letter, she could have the opportunity to expand the faith in Celestia to Ponyville. At the edge of the small town may soon rise a temple, and she would maybe be promoted as the High priest of the brand new building. She was quite excited; she was habitued to the daily routine of the old temple, and she may have the opportunity to bring some dynamism in the religion.
Jhera carefully picked up one of his yellow lillies and sniffed it. The flowers he had grown were as great as ever! He replaced the flower in its respective vase as the door opened and two earth ponies wandered in, examining and looking over his shop. "Hello! Welcome to Flowers and Fragrances! Can I help you get anything?" Jhera asked. The first one turned toward him and said "Yes, might you have something to eat? I thought of going out to break out fast." Jhera nodded and went into his back room to pull out some flowers and bread. He quickly put together two sandwiches and wandered out. The pony thanked him and paid for the sanwiches. As the two left, the second one eyed the sign in the front of his shop. He was still relatively new in the town, and not everypony knew about it. The two walked out with satisfaction and Jhera broke out in a toothy grin. If newcomers keep arriving, they would tell their friends. Their friends would come, and they would tell even more friends! It would certainly save him money on advertisement.
Dark Shine kept walking till he came to the shop: Flowers and Fragrances. He walked into the shop to see a familiar face. "Jhera... Hello!"
Fireheart had just finished her emergency call to stop a forest fire in sherwood forest near Trottingham. Now she wanted to treat herself by getting a nice refreshishing lavender fragrance. Noticing that flowers and fragrances were open she decided to enter.
Angel finally arrived at her office's door, and waited before opening it. She took her time to calm herself and slow her heartbeat rate. She opened the door slowly, and saw the letter lying in front of the door. It was sealed with a golden silk ribbon, and the enveloppe was a pale blue color. She took it with her hooves, and pulled the ribbon. She then opened the enveloppe, and slowly removed the letter. The paper was made in a mix of whool and a special tree, making a resistent and soft paper. The letter consisted of a few lines: that was a good sign. "To who it concerns, Your request has been approuved. You must make your way to ponyville with no delay. Your request has been accepted only because of a donation from an anonym pony from Ponyville. You will be given the role of the Solar Temple's High Priest, and if you don't find ten adepts within five months, a reasonable delay, we will be forced to bring you back to the main temple in Canterlot. Good luck, The High Council." Angel stayed calm, and put back the letter in the enveloppe. Finally, she'll become an High Priest! She took her baggages, consisted of a white leather saddlebag, and exited the office, the letter in her mouth. She locked the door behind her, threw the key under the door, and walked happily out of the temple. She hadn't saw Canterlot in years, and smiled as she saw other ponies. Now, she was expected in Ponyville with no delay, and she didn't knew when was the next train. She could use her wings, but she hadn't used them for years, and didn't knew if they'll support her to ponyville. She quickly walked to the train station, and looked at the ticket board: ten bids for a ticket, wich was too much for her, and the next train leaving in two hours. She had only three bids, given by one of her friends at the temple, a long time ago, for some reason she didn't remembered. Anyways, she'll have to trust her wings, and hope not to collapse from fatigue during the flight. She walked to the city's remparts, flapped her wings, and left the ground. She flew over the gates, then went down. She let the wind push her a little before she touches the ground. Surprisingly, she hadn't forgotten how to fly, and she was almost weightless! Trustfull on her wings, she started to fly again, to lend way later in Ponyville.
Dark Light flew around Ponyville in huge, lazy circles, it had been too long since her last leave and now she had almost a month and a half off! Not that really mattered, as it seemed like almost ever long-lasting leave of her's was interrupted by some 'emergence', which usually turned out to be false alarms. She took a deep breath and truly smiled for the first time in ages.
Jhera looked up from his book as he heard the enterance bell tingle. "Welcome to..." he stopped as he recognized who had entered. "Ah! Dark! How great to see you again! I haven't seen a familiar face in ages. Business is really booming now, though. Looks like word of my shop is getting around!" The entrance bell tingled again, and Jhera said "Just a moment, I have another customer." Turning towards Fireheart, he said "Welcome to Flowers and Fragrances! Might I help you find anything?"
Dark Shine smiled then looked around Jhera's shop. Then, an idea struck him. He decided he would wait for Jhera to finish his buissiness. He wandered around th shop, looking at the flowers.
Inside her grungy garage on Avacado, Aurora Heart was drawing. Her horn glowed brightly, her magic encasing a red colored pencil as she colored in the tattered wings of her famous character, the Butterfly. She was in her zone; death metal blasted from the various speakers around the room and her head bobbed with it. This particular picture was for her portfolio, to be judged at a contest this weekend.
Jhera was taken aback. "My...what!?" he said. "Well, sure, I have some Lavender Perfume, but I didn't know it was FAMOUS?" He shook his head as he went to the back room to grab a bottle of the requested perfume. "There's no way it's famous, I've only been here two weeks." He said as he gave the perfume to the customer. "That will be four bits, by the way." Jhera said.
Dark Shine walked up to Jhera. He then looked to the Pony purchasing the bottle. "I'll pay." He smiled as he pulled out 4 bits from his saddlebag. "There you go Jhera!" He tilted his head and smiled.
"thanks, names fireheart I work in the fire deprtment at the weather factory I'm also a territorial guard"
