Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

The candidates finish their physical training as they feel nervous about today's training. Silver walks inside the room with a lot of papers and stuff. Silver calls everyone to assemble and puts down the paper.

Silver starts to announce, "All right everyone, today training is collecting information. Every spy need to know how to collect the information of the target. Any question?"

The gray unicorn asks, "Eh... so we work in a team or single."

"In team, unicorn." Silver takes a paper. "Oh, I didn't know your name."

The gray unicorn answers, "It's Dust Sweeper, madam." Silver laughs at the name as the gray unicorn glares at her. "Why did you laugh?"

"Are you even sweeping yourself?" Silver grins. "I hope no one will sweep a mare like you."

Dust huffs. "Can I ask what that paper is for?"

"This is your target that you have to collect information." Silver puts the document on the table. "You can choose a partner and collect information. You have 5 days to do that."

"That's easy." Taco folds her paws. "This will be fast."

Silver taps her wing on the table, "Did I say that the guards will arrest you when you make a mistake?" Taco steps back as the eagle continues. "Don't worry. The soldiers will take good care of you if you get caught. Now, pair up, step up and choose your target."

Every candidate is stepping up and picking the target. Some of them feel excited while some of them feel scared when they pick a scary face. Silver whistles because she thinks that she can rest from now, until Gaze and Taco don't pick the last document on the table.

Silver is going to ask but Gaze cuts her off. "We have a target in our mind."

Silver tilts her head. "And that is?" Taco points at her as Silver retorts. "Hey, that's not the target in the document."

Taco grins, "You said to choose our target, not the target on your paper." Silver facewings as she doesn't predict this thing. Taco continues, "You can't deny, right?"

"If you want to do this, how about the bet?" Silver pulls out the blank paper. "If you want to play."

Taco and Gaze look at each other and nod. The blue griffin puts his claw on the table. "All right, if we win, you have to tell me all about you."

Silver retorts, "That really dump, you know." Gaze turns away as Silver sighs. "Fine if you lose, you two have to get married."

"What!?" Taco slams the table. "No way I will marry this dumby."

"Then take this document and do your job," Silver throws the document at the Abyssinian as Taco catches it. "Don't do that bet when you are not ready. You two will going to lose."

Taco is going to look at the document. Suddenly, the blank paper is shiny. Taco, Gaze and Silver have a magic circle at their paws/claws/wings. Silver looks back at the griffin as he is putting his claw at the blank paper. "I accept."

Taco slaps at his head. Silver 'tsk', "You know you can't even disvorce when you lose the bet, right?"

"I won't lose." Gaze points at the eagle. "and I like challenges."

"Not me, you idiot." Taco grabs his neck and drags away. Gaze is trying to struggle but the three- colors Abyssian wraps her tail around his claws, making the griffin helpless as he accepts to be dragged.

Trevor and Bell are sleeping on the table because of last night's lesson. Suddenly, a loud sound is near the caribou, making the brown caribou jump up and look around. Trevor sees the old mare is tapping the halberd near his seat.

Trevor glares at the old mare, "Can you stop doing that?" Then he takes a deep breath. "What time is it?"

"8 A.M." Aria points outside. "Now take Bell outside and have breakfast. We will do some practice."

"Fine." Trevor levitates the female caribou who are still sleeping. "So, what is the practice?"

"Secret." Aria grins. "Take your lover out of this room please."

Trevor glares at her. "She is not my lover," then the brown caribou goes out the room with Bell on his back. Aria giggles as she believes that those two will be a family.

Bell opens her eyes and feels something not right. It is like someone is carrying her. The yellow caribou looks around and sees Trevor is carrying her. Bell blushes and asks, "what... what are you doing?"

"Carry you to the dining room?" answers Trevor . "You know that is usual for us, right?"

"But why are you carrying me?"

"Because you sleep so peacefully so I don't want to wake you up." Trevor keeps walking and feels Bell is holding him tighter. The brown caribou looks back. "Eh, you can go down now."

"I like this more," Bell rubs her head against Trevor's neck. "Can you please take me to your dining room? I'm still sleepy here."

Trevor rolls his eyes. "Fine."

The caribou duo goes inside the dining room. The food is ready as Sabrina is enjoying the breakfast. When she sees the duo, she smiles, "Looks like someone had a good night."

"Meh," Trevor puts Ball down without hesitation. "Last night was a nightmare to me when an old mare was going to kill me with her halberd."

"Scare?" Sabrina grins. "I hope you will be ready for this practice."

"And what is the practice?" Trevor starts eating breakfast. "I hope it is not too hard."

Sabrina takes an apple. "Just meeting a prisoner named Degan." The brown caribou stops eating and gulps as the changeling points at him. "This is your first practice."

"Wait, wait, wait." Bell stands up and raises her hoof. "Why don't you do that?"

"If Eldaro or me do that, he will look down the leader of this camp." Sabrina spins the apples and uses her boomerang to peel it. "It is just like this apple. Your fame and spirit is just like this peel of apple. Tore down and then..." The changeling eats it. "But if this preel tough like diamond, no one can eat this apple."

"I... honestly don't know what you are trying to say." Trevor sighs. "But I will meet him once."

"Good." Sabrina points at the door. "Eat up and prepare for the talk. We will have a lot of fun today."

Trevor is nervous as he continues to have his breakfast. Bell calls her breakfast and sits down to enjoy the peaceful moment while the brown caribou doesn't know what to do.

Eldaro goes into the armory as he wants to see how the blacksmith works. When he works inside, he sees a yak smashing the hammer with something round. Eldaro looks around and sees many creatures are working with him at high speed.

The yak notices the old man. "Oh you came here at the right time."

"Oh," The old man walks inside. "What did you know, Fuse?"

"Nothing special." The yak takes out the musket. "except this thing. This weapon works very well for bipedal creatures like minotaur, dragon, etc... or creatures that have fingers like griffin."

"How about the repeated crossbow." Eldaro folds his arms. "Did they affect the same?"

"I'm afraid so." Fuse looks at the crossbow. "Honestly, the arrow for this crossbow is very small. I have tried to shoot it with the armor but it can't piece through the heavy armor, plus the range is less than the normal crossbow. "

"I see." Eldaro mods. "I am thinking about the formation of the army."

"The thing called a musket is easier to use in the army." Fuse comments. "Not the repeated crossbow. I don't know if they fit any attack formation."

"None of them fits attack formation." Eldaro takes the crossbow. "But I see there is more than this crossbow. Like a bigger one."

"Oh..." use nods. "I see. Anyway, I want to craft your weapon too."

"Why did you want to do that?"

"Price of the blacksmither." Fuse grins. "If anyone can craft your thing, I can do it."

"... are you sure about this?" Eldaro takes out the pistol. "I mean I am afraid that you will hurt everyone and this world will be in chaos."

"Then I won't tell anyone." Fuse slams the table. "Give me that thing and I will craft you the same."

"You can analyze it. Just give me a moment." Eldaro takes out the bullet out of the pistol. "Craft this small thing. This is more important than that weapon."

"You got it." Fuse takes it. "Quite small, but I think I can do it."

"Just don't talk about this thing to anyone." Eldaro raises his hand. "I will stay here for a long time."

Fuse grins and shakes his hand. "Deal." Eldaro leaves the armory room as he knows this yak can do this.

Sky is taking wine in his room. He is very confused about what is going on after being dispelled. The caribou doesn't know what to do now and doesn't know how to handle this situation. This is just like a new world to him, and in this world, the male treats the female like dirt or trash.

He starts sleeping while drunk. He starts to dream about his world. Suddenly, someone shakes him as the blue caribou wakes up. He sees Leaf Cutter is looking at him curiously.

The blue caribou sighs, "Tell me, Leaf Cutter. What happened to the previous king?"

"Don't you remember master?" The unicorn sits beside him. "That tyrant king is dead under the hoof of our great king, Dainn."

"Ah... now I remember." Sky looks away to hide his shock when he hears about the previous king's death. The blue caribou wraps his hoof around the mare. "Today I just want to be at home."

"We will take care of you, master." Leaf Cutter smiles. "It is a great honor to serve you."

Sky grits his teeth when he hears that. The blue caribou just wants to kill himself to get out of this world but something inside prevents him from doing that. The blue caribou sighs. "Right... tell the caribou slave to buy me some fruits and stuff, then asks her to make a good food for me. "

"As you wish, master." Leaf Cutter bows. "Any 'night' with anyone?"

"Not now, leafy." Sky sighs. "I just think about something. You don't need to bother about it."

"I see." Leaf takes a basket and goes outside. "Take care of yourself. I will be back in 30 minutes."

Sky sighs in relief and puts his front hoof on his forehead. There are too many things to think about for him. If he sees that black coat again, he can ask him about something.

Silver is walking to the training room with a smiling attitude. When the eagle comes inside, she sees the soldiers are training with a crossbow and bow. Silver smiles and sits down. Suddenly, one of the soldiers comes to her and asks, "Can you spare me?"

Silver looks at the soldiers and sees that he is a teal earth pony with a blue mane. The eagle quickly shakes her head. "Deny. I am not organic, you know."

"What do you mean 'not organic'" The soldier pointed at her beak. "You look like an ordinary eagle."

"Nevermind." Silver stands up and walks to the bench, then she picks Taco and Gaze up as
they are struggling to get out. "Too bad. Do that again and you will regret it."

Taco and Gaze huff and go out of the room. The soldier is confused, "Are they your student?"

"Maybe." Silver looks at them as they are arguing. The eagle asks. "What's your name, soldier?"

"Brave Ground." The earth pony points at himself. "I just want to train a stronger creature."

"Then why don't you ask Ox?" Silver tilts her head. "I am not that strong you know."

The earth pony shakes his head. " Just want a new trainer."

Silver sighs and walks to the training area. Brave Ground takes a sword and stands beside the eagle. The earth pony quickly charges at the eagle and goes to slash her but Silver just stands there and watches. When the sword is going to make contact with Silver's body, Brave Ground feels something grabbing his sword. Looking around, he sees the eagle is taking the sword with her beak. The earth pony is trying to get away but Silver quickly kicks him out of the area.

Silver sighs in relief and walks away as Brave Ground is trying to stand up but he can't. The eagle sits down and enjoys the coffee. The peaceful moment is just short for her.
