When i awoke i was in a rather empty room lying on a bed...(Why does everyone i know keep putting me to sleep...) I went outside i was inside my house it was midday i went to go look at the wall to see how much it progressed while i was out. RIka must of spotted me and called out my name before she landed next to me.
“Shade, I heard you were injured i came by to see how bad it was.” Rika said
“Thanks but i'm fine Ragna is one hell of a medic whether she thinks so or not.” i replied
“So how did your scouting go?” i asked
“Fine we spotted some resources but nothing important.”
“Hey can ya do me a favor?” i asked
“Shure.”
“Can you keep a lookout for any mineral veins were going to need metals soon.”
“Yhe i spotted a couple i draw you up a map and keep looking for some the next time i go out.”
“Thanks. I'm headed over to the wall to check out its progress wanna tag along?” i asked
“Shure i'm open.” Rika replied. We headed off to the wall as we did i decided to ask Rika if she would want to train some of the... greener ponies in combat
“So Rika you're an assassin... do you think you could train someone what you know?” i asked
“No offence shade but i don't think your blade is very... convenient for this style.” she said chuckling
“Ha... i could never be an assassin but i was wondering if you could train others to use a blade or at least train pegasi in combat maneuvers.” i said
“This is because of the abduction isnt it.”
“Yes it is. Toraven and I planned on training some of them to make sure that doesn't happen again but we do have a variety of styles so i was wondering if you would like to help us.”
“It would be my honor. Have you thought about asking Raymond or Ragan as well?”
“Yes i have i simply haven't gotten around to it yet.” I said... We arrived at the wall Toraven was standing guard atop of the gate looking pleased with his work. I decided to call out to him
“Toraven how is the wall looking?”
“Outstanding shade. How are your wounds feeling?” Toraven said
“Outstanding as well thanks to Ragna.”
“So Toraven about the Training sessions?” Rika asked
“Ahh shade told you about those... yes we should probably get that sorted out sooner than later.” Toraven looked at a worker that was on break.
“Go fetch Ragna, Raymond, and Oliva.” He commanded the worker
“On it Sir” The worker said and ran off. Toraven came down and we talked about the wall.
“So who's going to be watching the wall?” Rika asked
“The Guards and their commander that Shade came in with volunteered to take shifts watching it... after a while tho we wont need anyone on the walls if we confirm that this place is safe.” Toraven said. The worker came back with Ragna, Raymond, and Oliva. I informed them of the matter at hand and then we got to talking about the details.
“So who's going to be doing what? Oliva asked
“Well i'm no good with swords but i'll gladly teach any unicorn about magic both defensive and offensive.” Raymond said
“I can train unicorns in both magic and Weapon combat.”Toraven said
“I can train anypony in being a vanguard.” I said
“I will aid in shades training” Ragna said
“Alright so its all settled i guess i'll go take the head count and get everypony together to decide.” for the next hour more and more ponies were gathering in the middle of town trying to decide their choice of weapons training. Oliva finally returned with the last of the ponies that are in this town Oliva came back to us.
“So i got everypony the head count is about 83.” Oliva said
“So theres about 89 of us total...”I said
“Well i'll deal with these ponies all of you can go take a break.” Toraven said
“Well me and Oliva will stay and help you Toraven” Ragna said
“I'm going to go gather some of my spell books than” Raymond said
“Rika do you want to go and look for supplies with me? I plan on starting up a forge soon.” i asked
“Shure.” Rika replied
“We will see all of you later. I'm going to stop by my house for a second i need to send a report.” i said
“No problem i'll wait” Rika said as we walked off to my house. When we arrived i got quill and parchment that the Princess supplied me.
“What is that?” Rika asked
“I'm supposed to update the Princess on our status every month or so... might as well do it now...” i said while writing the letter
Dear Princess
I have reached the town and we now have a sturdy wall we number a total of 89. We are starting combat training for all of the ponies in this town. The town is coming along nicely and the buildings are starting to come up and in about a week or two i think we will have the town fully up. We found some rogues around here they only killed one of ours tho we cleared the area so it's under control now. Since not much has happened i'll keep this short and end it here.
Oh yes... almost forgot we are going to need some small supplies could you send some equipment for a forge and some farming gear with the supply caravan thats coming to this town as well with the basic necessities.
-Shade
“Hmmm how do i send this?” i asked Rika
“There's wraps in the box put one of those on it i guess she is the Princess i have heard of her magic.” Rika said. I wrapped the letter in one of the wrappings and it disappeared in my hands.
“Thats... convenient. Alright lets get out of here let me just get a couple of things first.” i said. I gathered some of my supplies and a parchment so i could mark out where the supplies are.
“Alright lets get out of here.” I said while opening the door. i heard the sound like a magical explosion happened
“WHAT THE F...” I shouted before i got interrupted i was turning around to face the Princess at least an inch away from my face.
“SHADE WHAT DID YOUR REPORT SAY!!!” The Princess looked like she was about to impale me with her horn.
“Be a bit more specific?” i said backing away slowly
“89!!!” She shouted...
“Oh... yhe 89 made it here...”i said Rika cut in
“Well a bit more made it here but we kinda...” Rika said
“KINDA WHAT?!” The Princess shouted
“Killed them” Rika responded
“How many...” The Princess asked
“About 10 and we lost 1 due to the locals...” i said
“Oh well thats not bad at all... i thought the number was going to be more around 40” The princess said easing up
“I will be sending some more guards to fill in the numbers that were supposed to be here and i will be sending those supplies that you asked for as well.”
The Princess said before disappearing. Rika and i simply stared at each other for a moment. Rika burst into laughter
“I always thought the Princess would be more... regal! Is she always such a...” The Princess appeared behind her...
“Such a what... go on tell me.” She said staring down at Rika.”
“Bitch!” Rika said laughing. I couldn't help but join Rika in laughter.
“Well actually yes i am. Shade could have told you that right Shade?” The princess said looking at me
“Well i always thought of you more as a cunt but... i suppose bitch would work.” I said
The Princess started laughing as well. Rika stopped laughing and looked simply confused.
“Look it's fine i know most of the things that i do make me look like a bitch but thats the price of being a leader. Shade understands that's why he doesn't care he treats me like anypony else and i enjoy it is a nice change of pace from the normal routine.” The Princess said before disappearing again.
“Is she always like that?” Rika asked
“Yhe it's fine she was actually nice to you. Well we should get going before she pops up again.” i said. We went off into the mountains to look for ore veins. While we were in the forest i took some of the fallen branches and sharpened one end of them so i could mark where the veins are. While we were out Rika flew around the mountains spotting the veins after she did i went over and marked them. We barely talked her training encourages her to be rather silent it didn't phase me tho i actually prefer the time to think. When she did speak she spoke with her actions so we kept our detection at a minimum the whole time. We finished off two mountains and found some rather rare materials enough keep us supplied for quite some time. When we got back the sun was setting and almost everypony was asleep except for the Captain and his guard so i stopped by to talk to him while he was on watch.
“So how did everything go while i was away?” i asked
“Fine... Toraven actually got some sleep he's been up for at least 4 days straight you would think this is a battle to him.” The commander said
“It probably is just another mission to him... The Princess is sending more of her troops to us.” i said
“Great more recruits...*sigh* Well i guess you'll have more training to do.” He said
“By the way how did that go anyways?” i asked
“pretty well... but it would be better if i showed you oliva has the sign up sheets wait bit and she will be here.” he said looking towards his right down the long side of the wall
“What do you mean?” i asked
“Oliva has been galloping around the wall trying to get her thoughts together.” He said
“About what?” i asked
“Don't know... and honestly don't care.” He said
“Well while we wait i'm going to need you to send Toraven and some of your men to escort a few miners i have some ore veins that i nee.”
“Do ya have a map?” he asked
“Right here.” i said handing him the map
“Wow... quite a few spots. I'll get on it first thing in the morning. I just realized that we haven't been introduced properly my names Gerald.” Gerald said
“I would say my name but... oh look there she is.” i said as i noticed Oliva Galloping straight towards us.
“Hey Shade!” she said running past me... Gerald started laughing
“Better go catch her!” he said still laughing. I sighed and started off after her
“Hey Oliva slow down!” i called out to her
“Nope if ya want me ya gotta catch me!” she called back
“Don't make me do this!” i called out to her
“Do your worst!” she called back. I followed her for a bit shortly after realizing that i couldn't outrun her so i looked to the buildings as an aid. We ran about 1/4th of the wall i wasn't running at my max speed but i could tell neither was she i spotted my mark leading off the stairs was a line of housed with finished roofs that would be perfect for me to cut her off with. She turned around and laughed while saying
“What's the matter can't you keep up!”
I made my move using all of my might i dashed left and jumped off the stairs and landed on top of a roof all the roofs ahead of me looked stable so i speed up and went straight to cut her off. Cocky as she was Oliva looked behind her and didn't see me so she slowed down a bit laughing seeing my target i closed the gap and jumped off of the nearest building targeting her. While i was mid air i heard her say
“Looks like i out ran the poor guy Ha!.”
I landed on her knocking her over and onto her back i mounted her so she couldn't move “Caught you.” i said laughing.
“Gah!!! Don't do that almost scared me to death... Yhe ya caught me what do ya want?” she said saddened by her defeat
“I want to know how the Sign ups turned out.” I said
“There in my bag.” she said staring at me “Would ya mind getting off?”
“Only if you don't run again...” i said
“Well no guarantees soooo.” she said
“Im not getting off.” i said
“Well then...” she said. Staring into my eyes she reached up and kissed me using my distraction to kick me off of her. Landing on my back she quickly reversed hold...
“Looks like you fell for one of the oldest tricks.” She said
“Are you sure you can keep me like this?” i asked her
“I don't know can i?” she responded
“Nope...” i said. She planted her back legs onto my own.
“Try to get out now.” she said. I have to admit i couldn't get out of this by normal means she was surprisingly strong. I simply stared into her eyes intently until she blushed. She moved off of me and reached into her bag.
“Here they are.” she said handing me some pieces of paper.
“Wow... quite a few chose me and Toraven Rika has a bit and Raymond has little if any.” i said
“They look up to you two for some reason.” She said walking away
“Why were you running up here?” i asked
“Well... i wanted to clear my head and think.” she said
“About what?” i asked
“About everything we're going to need to train some of them in farming as well not to mention the supplies that were going to need.” she said
“The supplies will be sent to us shortly. If you would like you can train them in farming.” i said
“I'll get on it than.” she said walking off
“There's something you're not telling me...” i said
“Yhe well ya don't need to know everything.” she said walking off of the wall at a faster pace. I let her go best she deal with it on her own. i went back to my house.
When i entered the house i saw Ragna moving around furniture.
“Where did all of this come from?” i asked
“Well Shade don't say hello or anything. It came from some of the others as gifts.” Ragna said
“Ah thats kind... well i'm off to bed it has been a long day.” i said while heading upstairs
“I'll join you in a minute” she called back to me
I got upstairs and laid down on the bed their was only one bed... Ragna came upstairs and laid down next to me.
“So how are you liking the bed?” Ragna asked
“Its great. Although there is only one...”i said. She turned over and was staring at me
“Is that a problem? Can the great Shade not handle a single mare.” Ragna said with a flirtatious tone
“First off don't ever say that you're just a mare you are much more than that, and second i would rather not, i'm tired.” i said
“No your not you can't lie to me.” She said smiling
“You're right i simply don't want you to make any moves.” i said
“What moves?” she said
...
...
...

“Shade...” she said “Shade.” she said again “Shade!” “Bastard...” she said again turning around
I wasn't asleep i was just pretending but... it seems to have worked i didn't want to push her into anything she wasn't prepared for. Although i don't want to irritate her... hmmm maybe later not now though i actually am kind of tired after searching for minerals and chasing down Oliva. This town seems promising probably just going to have to wait for the caravan to arrive before we can really get going tho. I layed in bed for about an hour before i could actually sleep...
Two Months Later
Dear Princess
It has been a while before i have reported to you so i am doing so now...
Your supplies got through and the men were well needed they are working on guarding the walls, farming, and helping the other ponies get some discipline... I have got a forge working and have made quite a large amount of gear for the town its slow because i am making the gear tuned to the wielder. The town is fully set up you should stop by and talk to some of the ponies they consider me their leader but they're not all under my command they are simply feigning allegiance i can tell by the look in their eyes. Anyways the weapons training is going well. I'm being called away at the moment so i am going to end this here.
-Shade
“Shade come here!” Ragna was calling me so i went upstairs into our bedroom.
“Shade now i know you have been resistant to this but...” i knew where she was getting at so i walked out the door and went to my forge.
“Damn it Shade!” i heard her call out and than she appeared in front of me on the stairs
“So your training with Raymond has been going well i see...”
“Yes and there more where that came from.” she teleported us back into the bedroom and barred the door with magic
“I believe you're abusing your powers...” i said
“And i believe you're abusing me you act like we're together but whenever i want to sleep with you you refuse. What's wrong is it Lilith?” she asked with a look of concern in her face
“Well its not Lilith... its more you. I am aware how i appear the majority of the time. I come in change your life grant you power give you purpose... you're blinded by all of that you're acting on pure emotion and not thinking. Don't mistake me i do have feeling for you and i hope that you have the same for me but i simply don't like rushing into these things you should know that if you have Lilith's memories.” i said.
“Well i'm not acting on pure emotion i have thought about it alot and i know that your what i want now come on. Will you lay with me?” She said removing the lock on the door and laying down on the bed...
“Maybe later.” i walked out of the door and went to my forge. When i arrived at my forge i saw Cresa my apprentice waiting for me. She is a young mare unicorn her body is that of a templars even without being one she is snow white all over rather gorgeous i couldn't understand why she would want to work a forge but to each their own i suppose.
“Hey Cresa how is the gear looking.” i asked her
“Im getting better with blades but i can't get the armor quite right... at least not like yours.” she said looking over towards my gear up on its rack. “And that weapon. I could never manage to make something like that.” she said now gazing intently at my weapon
“Well to be honest my weapon was given to me by the Princess. When i asked how old it is she said that she didn't even know but i can tell that it was forged with more than just metal it was forged with magic.” i said staring at my weapon the pitch black blades that glow when bathed in blood...
“Now my armor you helped me forge.” i said walking over to my armor looking it over
“Yes i know it was amazing seeing the final project.” Cresa said
“You'll see many more in your time all you have to do is keep at it you're getting better.” i said staring at her next to the forges flames she looked like a goddess
“Now i'm going to have to check on the others if you don't mind.” i said
“Its fine i planned on practicing for quite some time anyways” Cresa said
I went off to check on Oliva she started a farm and we expanded the wall around it. Oliva has been working constantly almost like shes possessed keeping vigilance over her crop and over those who work on it. When i arrived she was Walking out of her home for her normal routine i went to go talk to her.
“Shade. Hows it going?” she said
“I was about to ask you the same question you have been working harder than anypony else is there something wrong?” i asked
“Im fine its just that if we don't get a source of food we can't survive here.” she said... she was hiding something still... i don't know what but she was.
“Alright then don't overdo yourself.” i said walking over towards the wall to go meet Toraven
When i arrived he was shouting at one of the guards
“WHY WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SLEEPING WHEN I COME IN HERE!” Toraven was shouting at a guard in the barracks.
“Maybe because you make them go on 12 hour shifts.” i said
“Shade glad you're here I have been looking to spar with you again.” he said forgetting about the guard i turned to the guard
“Go get some sleep and here's a hint don't just stare walk around think of something... it helps.” he nodded and ran off
“Well i would spar with you but every time we do spar we scare the others...” i said
“The price of perfection” Toraven said
“So hows it going Toraven?” i asked
“The recruits are fucking annoying... but there making progress anything else you want to talk about?” he asked
“No just checking in. I'm going to go find Rika know where she is?”
“Somewhere around your house i think.” he said. Nodding i walked off
I Saw Ragna and the Princess walking out of my house the Princess walked towards me
“You said i should stop by so i am. That Ragna girl welcomed me already we talked for a bit. You should stay with her.” she said winking
“Did she tell you about that...” i said
“No i just know you... give into her be happy enjoy yourself.” she said walking away. The Princess went to go over to talk with some of the other ponies. Ragna stared at me for a bit then she went back inside. I found Rika flying around training some pegasus in air maneuvers. It was her star pupil Contis he was training under her since he signed up and has planned on becoming Rikas right hoof i have to admit he has made improvements he went from being able to get from point A to point B to being able to remain undetected while flying at high speeds. Rika spotted me and ended their session early. She landed next to me and started off the conversation
“So Shade like what you see?” she asked
“If you mean by your practice than yes. I think your star pupil has a lot of potential.” i said
“Well he's talented but i think he has his eye set on something other than honing his skills... I always spot him watching me it's rather humorous he thinks he can use the skills i taught him on me.” she said with a chuckle
“You sound like you enjoy it.” i said
“Well i do but i would never do anything with him he's too foolish i have my eyes set on bigger prey.” she said with a smirk
“I'll be sure to remember that. How have your other students been handling your training i know some of them are using your maneuvers and my style flying vanguards outstanding...” i said
“Mine are going great. The hybrids... well they have some trouble with speed and acceleration.” she said
“I could get Cresa to make some lightweight armor and weapons won't be as durable but it will work.” i said
“That should help them a lot at the moment at least until they get a proper endurance for their task.” Rika said. i started walking over towards Cresa and the forge Rika followed
“Hey Cresa i have a order for you!” i said
“Great i need some practice.” she replied
“Some units are too weighed down by their gear i'm going to need you to forge some lightweight armor and weapons for them. I'll have them come by so they can give you their specs.” Rika said
“Hmmm lighweight what metal should i use Shade?” Cresa asked me
“Well i would say use mithril but we don't have any of that anywhere near here... we may just have to make some enchanted armor... your lucky you can make that type of gear only unicorns can. I'm going to go get Raymond so he can help you with it.” i said
“Allright I'm game making enchanted gear... sounds hard.” Cresa said
“It is but its worth it. And if you do a good job with these orders i'll let you enchant my armor.” after i said that her face light up
“You mean i'll be able to work on that masterpiece again?!” Cresa said with excitement
“Yup now clear the forge and get some of the finest materials you have ready i'm going to go get Raymond.” i said walking off towards the gate so i could go to Raymonds training area Rika followed
“Shes cute.” Rika said
“Don't get any ideas shes pure i'd like her to stay that way...” i said
“You can't keep her “pure” forever especially here sooner or later she's going to see the world and you for what it really is.” Rika said
“I know but she is young she doesn't need to know what i have done yet...” i said
“Do you assume that she will think less of you if you tell her?” Rika asked
“No. I just don't want her to try to be like me.” i said
“Like what? Your great.” Rika said
“I have been through hell and heaven and neither are pleasant for the likes of me... i have done things that i can never redeem myself for... and to be honest i have been awaiting my death for quite some time... i'm anything but great.” i said
“So you say... but you are our leader nothing else matters now. Where all depending on you so don't go letting us down now Shade.” Rika said. We reached the gate signaled the guards and went through to go to Raymonds training ground. He normally practices there out of the way of the town so he or his students don't harm anything. When we arrived he was training his students in how to funnel their power to make weapons out of elements. Being the show off that he is... he went excessive he launched a lance made of fire into the air and waited for it to fall once it started to fall he launched a ice lance at the flame lance they collided at their top speed and created a mist that overlaid the area he they focused and launched multiple electric arrows into the air creating a dazzling display of a chain of light covering the sky.
“Don't try that you'll end up killing yourselves.” i said to his students
“Ahh Shade and Rika what a pleasant mood kill...” Raymond said
“The mood was killed when you started to show off your talents Raymond.” Rika said
“Heh... guess you're right i get a little carried away sometimes. Well what do you want Shade.” Raymond siad
“He wants you to train Cresa in enchanting. Some ponies need some more lightweight gear.” Rika said
“You sure she can handle that Shade?” Raymond said
“She's strong and talented and with you as a spotter it can't go wrong.” I said trying to appeal to Raymonds pride...
“Well when you put it like that... fine. Allright our session is up think about what you saw today and try to hone your minds.” Raymond said dismissing his students. We went back inside the walls and started heading for Cresa and my forge. When we arrived at the forge Ragna and Cresa where talking and waiting for me to return. Ragna ran over to me saying
“Shade your late...”
“For what?” i reponded
“Our training...” Ragna said
“*sigh* The recruits do i have to i mean you have all the same skills...” i said
“Evren you where a recruit once as well Shade.” Ragna said
“No i don't think so. I can't remember any of my youth so...”
“*sigh* Just come on Shade where late as is...” Ragna said
“Fine lead the way...” i said. i watched Ragna lead the way and i attempted to sneak off but... it was to no avail she caught me seconds later and forced me to go with magic... after a few minutes of “Walking” we arrived at the training area all of our students where there.
“Well lets start this... ALL OF YOU FORM UP!” i commanded and they formed into straight lines with about a two hooves in between each one of them.
“Alright today we will be going over unarmed combat their WILL be times where you will lose your weapon so you still need to practice it. The winner gets to go up against a pony of my choosing. You'll be fighting by your own choice until then after you lose tho you're out any caught cheating will be punished by myself. DISMISSED.” they began walking around and finding partners to spar with Ragna tuned to me.
“So who is the pony you're going to send them up against?” She asked
“Well i'm going to try and get Oliva she seems like she needs to work off some stress. I'll be back in a bit. keep watch over them and instruct them while i am gone.” i said while walking off towards Olivas farm. When i arrived at Olivas she was lying on the porch sleeping.
“Tired?” i asked she woke up and rubbed her eyes
“No bored after my jobs done there's nothing to do.” She replied while yawning
“I got something that will keep you busy come on follow me.” i lead the way with her following back to the training ground. The last batch was ending at it was down to the last three they decided to have a three way brawl. It ended in a stalemate neither of the three would admit defeat so i ended it.
“Allright. You all fought well now here is your final opponent the last match will be a 3v1 the three of you against Oliva.” i said
“Wait why is it three of them against me.” Oliva asked
“Because you pack more of a punch than all three of them combined now go out there and show them what you’ve got. Just don't kill them...” I said
“Are all of you ready?!” i asked. They all nodded so it was my cue
“BEGIN!” i shouted. They charged at Oliva but she remained still she waited for them to get close before she made her move. They decided to try and flank her one went straight for her one went to the left and the other went right. Although they didn't balance out their speeds so the middle one reached her first she ended his charge with a swift buck to the head. The ones on her left and right where close together. She dodged them and waited for them to collide and then kicked one in the ribs knocking them both onto their sides. Oliva yawned and stated
“Shade if this is your finest then we're screwed...”
“It is their first time in unarmed combat so you have to cut them a little slack.” i said
“Wake me in a bit. I'm going to go lay down again.” she said while walking off towards my forge.
“Allright i'm pretty sure that concludes our business for today.” I said as i dismissed my recruits. A guard ran towards me.
“Shade!” he said in distress
“Yes?” i responded
“Theres... a wolf at our front gate he said he wants to speak with the leader of us and quick.” he said
“Hmmm i see has Toraven seen this? if so what did he say about it?” I said
“Well Toraven Said that he would watch your back from the gate but he won't walk out with you...” The guard said. We hurried off to the gate so i could see what the wolf wanted when i arrived Toraven was standing behind the gate waiting for me.
“Shade he's unarmed and says he's peaceful i will be watching from the top if he tries anything i'll cut him to shreds.” Toraven said
“Glad to hear it but i'll hope that i won't need you. Alright i'm going out.” i said. The gates opened and i went outside they shut behind me. The wolf started to talk he had a growl in his voice
“Are you in charge here?” The wolf asked
“Yes i am my name is Shade its a pleasure to meet you and i hope that it can stay that way...”
“Call me The Wolf there is no need for you to know my name... i came to warn you i am the leader of a large collaboration of packs of wolves we are overpopulated and starving... for quite some time we have been on the move going from one area to the next eating what we can... my packs have become restless and have started to rebel. They have decided to attack your town I'm sorry i couldn't stop them.” The Wolf said as i stared at him he was larg... taller than me he was about 3x my size and 2x the size of any other pack leaders that i have seen.
“I understand i was a leader of an army once... you can keep them restrained when they're winning but when things get rough the worst can happen.” i said
“I'm glad you understand that makes this a lot easier on me. I will be joining my army when they attack.” The Wolf said
“I understand a good commander is more loyal to his troops than they are to their commander. I won't hold a grudge... we won't go peacefully tho i want you to know that... there will be blood on both sides spilled...” i said
“Than i believe my warning was fair. My army will be here in Three days. Goodbye. Next time we meet it will be in combat.” The Wolf said as he ran off into the forest. I went back inside Toraven called out to me
“Shade what is it?”
“Gather everypony and meet at the center of town NOW!” i commanded him
“On it!” he said as he ran off
“Gerald!” i called out to the captain of the guards
“Yes sir!” He responded
“Get all of the guards gather them and keep them 24/7 on the wall NO BLIND SPOTS DO YOU UNDERSTAND!” i commanded him
“On it” he ran off shouting at guards. Rika was one of the first to arrive
“Shade what's going on?”
“We're going to War go and help Toraven get everypony and meet me in the center of town.”
“All Right” She said. She flew off. I arrived at the center of town and awaited everypony... all that came through my mind was that we weren't ready... this attack is too soon... our enemy is too fierce... our soldiers are to green... than i realized... a feeling that i have been deprived from for so long... the feeling that any second i could die... i was... at peace again...
