Previous ChapterNext ChapterSandro first person narrative:
"well my acolytes my plan worked better then i expected. Miss twilight's friends had no clue of what happened to them the down side of this plan was that i had to use the mask of false face to do this illusion, i will probably will get a well inquisitive questioning from the young princess but it will come later. For now i need to deal with the so call "elements of harmony" but the worst thing about that dinner that the friends of miss twilight will ask me questions,now how do i know they will ask questions you must wonder?. Well it's simple really they are a group of mares in our world they will be ladies well some of them at least and in all of my lives in ashan,enroth and my short stay in Axeoth i learn this, women love to talk and ask questions. But in order for me to learn the secrets of this world i need to earn the trust of this little ponies first".
twilight castle:dining room
The six's mares,dragon and stallion where eating talking and laughing. Sandro of course did not need to eat but he used is magic to make it like he eat the food in order to trick the young mares and then twilight started to say something and from there sandro knew the questions will begin so he played his part in it as well.
"This food is amazing spike". Twilight said to the young dragon that she treated like a brother.
"Thanks twilight i added some new ingredients i got from gabby when she drop the mail this week". Spike said in replay
"Yes young steward this food is very good but i must say that i noticed you only have fruits and vegetables and gems for your self for some reason, by the way young spike can you bring me some red wine and some wild boar if you have some". Sandro said to the dragon.
"I think we have red wine but why do you what a boar to come here anyway?". Twilight ask Alejandro not understanding him.
"Yes why do you need a boar to drink wine they are such filthy brutes". Rarity said to the duke in a lady like tone.
"You think i gonna drink wine with the boar? Sandro said to them.
"yes". All the mares plus dragon said to him.
Then they did not expect what he did after that he started laughing.
"Hahahahah poor mares how naive and sheltered life did you have". He said to them a smile on his face.
"And what the hay that is supposed to mean". Applejack said to him offended by his words.
"Well i will only say this red wine goes better with a boar then let say chicken". Sandro said to her a smile on his face.
"What a chicken have to do... With... That.....". Then it hit applejack like nothing she ever heard and she was angry very angry.
"YOU MONSTER". she yelled at him and every one in the table was in shock.
"Applejack stop this at once Alejandro is a guest here and what ever you think he say i am sure it was a misunderstanding". Twilight said to her in a disappointed tone.
"Well your guest jest ask you if you had some boar to eat". Applejack said to her not removing her eyes from the stallion.
"WHAT!!". The rest yell and where looking at him as well.
"Did you really what to eat meat?". Twilight ask him in shock.
"If you don't have boar i can eat some veal instead". he said to her like nothing
"How can you eat meat that is wrong in so many ways". Rainbow dash said to him.
"I think i gonna be sick". Fluttershy said to her self.
"Now girls i am sure the duke can explain all of this". Rarity said to them in hope that no argument will start.
"Thank you miss rarity and to answer your question with another question have you ever have you ever tried to eat meat before in your life?". Sandro ask them.
"well no". They all say to him.
"Then you can't judge me for eating meat that was something we all did in costa del toro and only after you try some you can say what you want". He said to them and all of the mares started to think and wonder about that and he knew he had to revert the talking to something more to is liking or he will never earned the trust of the mares.
"So from what luna said to me the six of you are the "elements of harmony" so what exactly is that?". He ask them in order to get some info on them.
"Well its a long story but the short version is that the elements are artifacts that represent a trait that connect to us and together its boost are power". Twilight said to him in responds.
"Ya the elements are awesome we manege to beat every bad guy using them and i bet you probably don't have something like that in your country". Rainbow dash said to him in a using a smug face.
"Well no we don't have something like that we have something more practical to use against our enemies". Sandro said to them not really impressed of this so call "elements" knowing that back in ashan much stronger artifacts exists.
"So when a big bad vermin is causing havoc in your country how are you dealing with them?". Applejack asked him.
"Well that depends on the threat but most of the time its end by execution". Sandro said to her and taking a sip of wine.
"You jest kill them like it was nothing" applejack said to him and the more she talk to him the more she can't trust him.
"Its not like its the worst thing that can happened you can also become a slave like the rest of the half breeds or be hunted like an animal by a noble". He said to them in a casual tone.
"You enslave other creatures". Pinkie said and her mane started to deflate.
"That is jest wrong why any pony what to live in a place like this didn't you care for any pony or animal". Fluttershy siad in a mix of crying and sadness.
"Well to be honest i wasn't part of this if you want to complain do it to the ruling family of the holy falcon empire. Plus i was busy studying in the Academy of Magic in the city of Al-Betyl and for your information i only care for two individual my hole life and both are dead so DON'T JUDGE ME YOU INSOLENT PONY!!". Sandro yelled at fluttershy and then he saw them looking at him in a manner to familiar he saw in them terror.
For two minutes silence no one spoke all of the ponies where in shock and fluttershy hiding under the table and then the silence was broken by rarity.
"Mister Alejandro your eyes are glowing and i am sure that fluttershy didn't meant to upset you". Rarity said to him afraid that he will do something else.
"I don't care if she meant it or not i will not be judged by somepony that can't even hold her ground in an argument". Sandro said to rarity in tone of spite.
"Hay don't talk to rarity like that". Spike said to him in anger.
"(if you don't what her to know how you feel for her you will stop talking whelp)". Sandro said to spike using telepathy.
Spike was then looking at him using a face that said how do you know that but he got silence from him.
"What happened to your eyes?". Twilight ask the angry necromancer.
"Magic outburst when i calm down it will stop". He said to her and looking at his plate.
"Well i think you need to apologize to fluttershy". Rainbow dash said to him.
"She is right sugarcube even if she made you upset you could have act differently". Applejack said to him all so.
"Ya that was very mean if you can apologize now we will have your welcome to ponyville party". Pinkie pie join her friends.
After listening to their hypocrisy for so long sandro had enough he needed to get out before he will do something they will regret later on.
"Excuse me miss twilight what can you tell me about the forest next to your village?". Sandro asked her.
"Well its the everfree forest its a place full of monsters and bad magic to wild to control. Why do you ask?". Twilight asked him wondering about his question.
"So its pretty much quiet if somepony whats to take a walk". He said to her.
"Yes you can say that why?". She ask again.
"Well then excuse me girls but i am going for a walk don't follow me". Sandro said to them i a blunt way.
When he left the table rainbow dash stop him and said to him.
"You not going anyware until you apologize to fluttershy". She said to him in a determined tone.
To his respond was only to unsheathe his sword and he said to her only three words "move or die". Sandro said to her his sword next to her face.
"Rainbow dash move now". Twilight said to her friend she knew rainbow have no chance against him.
Before he left the castle he stop for a second and then he said something disturbing to twilight in telepathy.
"(miss twilight i am a patient man but if your friends will not know their place then you and them will face the horrors of necromancy at first hand)". Sandro said to her and he left the castle thinking only one thing.
"Alma how much i miss you".
