Day 13 of Travel to House Unity lands..

"So far so good. I am probably going to regret thinking that but whatever. Ever since that bandit attack we have been on edge. Luckily they only took the least useful wagons but sadly they did take a few guys i knew. But that sorta thing happens nowadays. Cant dwell on it too much. Anyways were only a few hours away from the nearest city of the House, A place i cant remember the name of. We have already passed the 'border' and a few villages where we traded a few things with locals. Never seen many other ponies before growing up in a griffin kingdom. Anyways Senny has been asking me constantly why I'm staying in House Unity lands instead of staying with the caravan or going back home, obviously i cant tell her the truth and she seems to even be able to see through my lies. She obviously knows im hiding something. I just hope she doesn't find out until i can get my pay and leave this caravan to start my quest.

Anyways enough about that. by the time i am writing this i can see the city in the distance. Lots of farmland around but doesn't seem very productive. Always heard this was one of the more poor factions to come from the former equestria. But its the only chance i can take. I cant challenge a Stronger house by myself, even if im an alicorn. Dont get me wrong anonymous reader who probably stole my journal, i know a lot of spells, some normal unicorns cant even think of casting, but i cant take on an army. I need an army and a starting point of my own. So the kingless fractured house of unity is the best spot to try. Kinda ironic that the House of 'unity' would be the most fragmented house. Ill have to think of how ill start out trying to convince ponies to follow me. Probably start out by..-"

Sunbeam is taken from his thoughts and his writing as Senny pats him on the shoulder.

"Your turn for guard duty. Also I've been meaning to ask, what do you do to your mane to make it look all ethereal and sparkly like that?" Senny says while sitting next to Sunbeam on the wagon.

"Magic, and on it." Sunbeam sets his journal down as he grabs his weapons and starts patrolling around the wagons.

Unfortunately for him, he left his journal right next to Senny.

'Hmm i wonder what hes hiding..' Senny thinks as she grabs the book and opens it to a random page.

'Yada yada going to House Unity blah blah Reclaim throne blah blah One of a few alicorns words wor- Wait WHAT!!' Sunny re reads the last page as her eyes are basically popping out of her head after reading those sentences again.

'T-theres no way! Now that i think about it.. Princess Luna did reportedly have a 'mane of stars' like him.. and hes pure white like Celestia is said to be... but hes only a unicorn.. right?' She thinks to herself. 'Then again he does have his own tent so no-griffin has seen him without his gambeson on.. Well i thinks its time i paid him a late night visit when we get in town.' Senny thinks as she thinks of her plot to see if what he says in his journal is true, While reading more of his journal to pass the time..

10 Minutes later..

By the time the caravan gets into town its late at night and the Caravan master has everyone report to an inn that he scheduled everyone to sleep in. And since its night time the market is closed so the Caravan wagons are taken to a private warehouse while the traders and guards sleep. Unfortunately for everyone the inn has fewer rooms than expected and some are going to have to share rooms with others, with Senny volunteering to share a room with Sunbeam, much to sunbeams Un-comfort and terror that she might see his alicornyness. As they are given the key and Sunbeam tries to dissuade Senny from bunking with him and trying to convince the caravan master to let him have a personal room, Both to no avail.

"Sunny sunny sunny what are you hiding from me~? Ill find out anyways when i get you in that bed even if i have to use rope~" Senny teases Sunbeam as they head to their room.

"S-Senny s-stop it and im pretty sure they come with at least 2 beds.." Sunbeam says, face as red as a tomato.

"Well ill just be sure to break one then." Senny says, enjoying Sunbeams embarrassment as she unlocks the door to the inn room and walking in, with a little extra sway to her hips.

"W-well uh.. im gonna go wash up.." Sunbeam says as he rushes to the bathroom, closing the door a little to hard and looking at himself in the mirror. 'Okay so im sharing a room with the most perverted griffin i know, and i have to hide my wings from her while we share the same room and hopefully not the same bed.' he takes a deep breath and splashes some water onto his face and dries off. 'Ok i can do this just dont take the gambeson off and ill be fine. juuust fine..'

Sunbeam exits the restroom and goes to the bed to get ready to sleep, noticing that Senny currently isnt in the room, he decides to open his bags to get a loose shirt instead of the heavy and warm gambeson, and be much more comfortable during sleep while still hiding his wings.

'This will work much better than a gambeson, though ill have to bind my wings with some of my bandages so they dont extend out on accident or in the night.' Sunbeam thinks as he takes off his armor and quickly starts wrapping his wings to his sides with the long bandage cloth. Doing it as quickly as possible as to get it done before Senny returns from wherever she went. Unfortunately for Him, Senny never left the room.

"So you weren't lying in your book journal.." A Voice from the now open closet says, while stepping out to reveal Senny.

Meanwhile Sunbeam panics and falls on his back, dropping the bandages and causing his wings to extend from the sudden rush of adrenaline. "S-Senny! uh.. T-this isnt what it looks like!" He says trying to retract his wings as he gets up.

"Calm down Sunny i already read your journal. Just wanted to be sure you weren't imagining things."

"Wait what?" Sunbeam states as we looks at her questioningly about how she is being so nonchalant about the whole ordeal.

"Your just a pony with both wings and a horn, not like those dont already exist. It also explains why you dont want to be seen not wearing anything on your upper body, and like to sleep alone." Senny says while walking up to Sunbeam and lightly punching his shoulder. "Plus were buddies, not like i care whether or not you plan on doing some stupid thing like trying to conquer equestria or something, i mean, i helped you steal from that Minotaur a while ago. And that was stupid."

"Yeah that was.. so uh.. Your not surprised or shocked in any way? like? at all?"

"Nah ive seen weirder things. Life in a caravan does that to you. But anyways lets get some sleep then we can talk about you being an idiot later." Senny says jokingly as she heads to her bed confirming to Sunbeam that she in fact did not sabotage her own bed to have an excuse to sleep with him.

"Yeah i guess we do need to sleep befo- wait why would you want to talk to me about my quest to reclaim the throne?" Sunbeam asks only to get no response as He is quick to look away from senny as she strips naked to sleep. "O-ok im going to bed!"

After putting on his shirt and crawling into bed but facing away from the now nude griffin. He thinks to himself about how he is actually here now and what he is going to do.

'hmm i cant just walk into the castle and tell everyone to make me king, ill have to earn it and probably take it by force if diplomacy doesn't work. But how will i manage to get any ponies to follow me, let alone make an army of ponies. Hmm ill have to start small, probably go around fighting bandits or something. That might work, ill recruit some local villagers and volunteers then use the excuse of fighting bandits to make them trust me while training them to be better fighters. This will take a while but i have all the time time in the world. My only problem is going fast enough so nobody claims the throne of the House of Unity or conquers it, which will make my job a lot harder than it already is. Well ill save those thoughts for tomorrow when im not tired..'

Sunbeam stops thinking and goes back to trying to sleep, taking a few minutes of tossing and turning before a nice warm feeling reminding him of being wrapped in his adoptive mother's wings comes over him and he sleeps soundly the rest of the night...

The next day...

Sunbeam wakes up to find the light of the sun coming in through the window, he slowly opens his eyes to only close them again as its bright in the room still. He still feels very warm and comfy and simply wants to lay in bed for a few more minutes, enjoying the warm feeling of the blankets, the bed, the pillow, and the warm wings wrapped around him.. Wait..

His eyes blink open as he looks behind him to see Senny, covered by the blanket, staring back at him with her wings and arms wrapped around him.

"Morning sunshine~!" She states while giggling at his growing blush.

"S-senny! w-what are you doing!" Sunbeam states while trying to get out of her grasp, only to be pulled closer to her with her warm body pressed against his back.

"Well you kept tossing and turning last night so i snuck in and wrapped my wings around you. That seemed to do the trick so i slept with you aaalll night." Senny whisperer into his ear teasingly much to his discomfort.

"S-Senny w-while i appreciate the gesture c-can you put some clothes on!"

"Alright fine, Geez your such a buzzkill."

Senny gets out of his bed and goes to the other side of the room to put her clothes on as sunbeam faces away from her to avoid her trying to get him to look at her slender body and her nice cur- NO! BAD THOUGHTS!

Sunbeam shakes his head of those thoughts and gets ready for the day by putting on his gambeson armor and gathering what few belongings he has. For his work with the caravan is over and all he has to do is get his pay which he will use to probably get a better shield and maybe a timberwolf mount for himself.

"Hey Sunbeam, mind if i tag along with you on your quest?" Senny asks, interrupting Sunbeams thoughts on what to do with his pay.

"Huh? Wait you want to go along with me on my quest to get the throne to equestria? Why?"

"Well you obviously will need help and you probably didn't pack enough bits to get through the week, even with your paycheck from the caravan."

'Damn shes right, now that i think about it i only packed about 200 bits with me and the paycheck will probably be spent on the Timberwolf..'

Sunbeam sighs "Alright you can come along but please, No teasing me anymore."

"No promises Sunbeam~!" Senny says in a sing song tone as she gathers her bag and leaves the inn. With Sunbeam following her.

Senny and sunbeam head to the market, where the caravan master is probably haggling with local merchants about prices for the cargo. And after a short walk and search for him the two go up to him after he finishes selling a crate of gems to a Unicorn.

"What is it you two? make it quick i got wares to sell." The CM says.

"Im just here for my pay, since this is my stop."

"Ah right, alright let me get your pay." The Cm is about to go into his wagon when Senny stops him

"Get my pay too, im stopping here as well."

"Hm? alright then, certainly going to miss having you two around. Good luck on whatever journey your on you two." The CM says while giving both a pouch of bits, with Senny's being significantly larger...

"Thanks, Good luck on selling things, Hopefully we'll met again" Sunbeam says while walking away with Senny, looking for a timberwolf stable where he can buy a nice mount. "Alright now all i need is to buy a Timberwolf mount."

"Well you could always mount me~"

"SHUT UP SENNY!" Sunbeam yells as they walk off. Unaware of the shady figures watching them from the alleyway...
