Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom
The decision
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia, Luna, and others walk inside the room as Celestia doesn't know whether to believe this caribou or not. If he is right, she can take care of the threat of Dainn, but if he lies, many of her subjects will die. She puts her head on the table as Luna is dealing with the paper. Suddenly, a cup of tea is put on the table as Celestia looks up. Sabrina is helping the white alicorn up, "Get up. A ruler must not show this emotion in front of your guests,"
"If you are actually a guest," Celestia takes a sip, "I don't know if he is telling the truth or not."
"How about sending a spy there?" Eldaro sits down, "I assume that we will get much information about their country."
"I'm not sure," Celestia leans on the chair, "If that caribou is saying the truth, I can't send any spy to go to track them. It is dangerous."
Eldaro smiles, "You are really more competitive than Sabrina." The changeling puts the boomerang near his neck as the old man pushes away, "Relax, just a tease."
Celestia giggles as Sabrina glares at him. Sabrina sits opposite of the old man, "Honestly, this is a 50-50 choice," The changeling turns to Celestia and Luna, "But if I were you, I would accept this call to help the resistant, but I will have a plan B about this thing,"
Eldaro nods, "I will accept too." Celestia turns to him as Eldaro raises his hand, "What I see is a 'don't have any to lose' caribou. He isn't afraid of death," Eldaro leans on the sofa, "But I don't have any power here. The decision is depending on you two."
Luna puts her hoof on her cheek, "So, can I know more about you, Sabrina?" The changeling looks at her in disbelief as Luna waves her hoof, "I mean, you are really like a queen,"
"... Fine." Sabrina stands up, "I am Sabrina, queen of the Earth(en). Nice to meet you."
"Whoa," Celestia looks at her curiously, "You must be tough to have yourself far from your hive, right?" Sabrina glares at her as Celestia giggles, "Just joking. Anyway, if you are here, who will control your country? The king?" Sabrina nods as Celestia giggles, "I wish I had someone who tries to claim me."
"That is the price of the goddess," says Eldaro as the alicorns are looking at him. "Anyway, what about your decision? Do you want to help him?"
"I don't... know." Celestia sighs, "I will answer you tomorrow. Please come inside my room until then."
"Are you sure about this?" Eldaro turns to her, "You are trusting an outsider, who is just a guest in this world."
"Because we see you are very different," Luna sighs, "I may need your help."
"If you say so, then we will go out," Eldaro and Sabrina start to walk out of the room, but Luna points at the changeling as she is confused. Eldaro gives her a smirk and pushes the changeling to the sofa, then quickly closes the door. Sabrina turns to him and yells at the old man, but he is gone. The Sisters grin as the changeling knows that they will have a lot of questions.
Eldaro walks outside the park and takes a deep breath. It's like he wants to live here forever. Taking a book, he starts to read it. Many ponies and creatures around look at him as the old man ignores them. A shadow overcomes him as the old man looks up. An eagle with silver fur is landing in front of the old man. This eagle is as tall as the human.
The eagle starts tp reports. "Hey Eldaro, I saved all the maps into my data."
"Good thing," The old man smiles, "Can you help me with one thing?" Silver nods as the old man continues, "Can you fly to the caribou kingdom, where Dainn is ruling?"
"That kingdom named Atlas," Silver sits down, "But I haven't fly there yet, so I don't know,"
"That's why I need your help," Eldaro closes the book and sees the pegasus is separating the cloud, "We will help the resistance soon if that caribou is saying the truth,"
"You are following the Black Mage's quote, right?" Silver folds her wings, "I have recorded your conversation between you and the princesses. I can see that they will help, but just with food and weapons,"
"You're right," Eldaro rubs her chin, "I don't think she may risk some of her soldiers to aid one of the resistance that is not popular in this world." Eldaro points at the sky, "But I will be surprised if she allows us to borrow some soldiers."
Silver nods. The eagle starts to spread her wings and flies away. Many ponies have to cover because of the wind. Eldaro continues to read the book and enjoys the moment of peace. After 30 minutes, the old man starts to walk around the city to see if something is news to him.
Many ponies around look at him and start whispering as the old man continues to use the phone to take some pictures. Suddenly, he bumps into someone as the old man says, "Sorry,"
Looking around, he sees a brown pegasus as she is standing up. The pegasus looks at the old man as she is rubbing her eyes and hopes that she is not in illusion. Suddenly, the green earth pony is coming to the pegasus, "Aria, are you okay?"
Aria turns to her husband, "Not sure honey, do I see a human in front of my face?" Eldaro is surprised while the green pony looks at the old man as he is not sure what creatures he has just seen. The brown pegasus touches the old man to make sure that he is real. The old mare sighs, "Looks like I am not dreaming. This is a human that I'm just talking about."
Eldaro kneels at the mare and asks, "How did you know about humans?"
"Secret," Aria turns to Lemon Heart, "Come on honey, we got a shop to go," and Aria drags the old stallion somewhere as the old man sighs. He looks at the map to see if somewhere else to come.
Celestia is lying on the table as she has just finished talking to the ambassador of Atlas. It is weird for him when he tries to close as many contracts as he can. When the white alicorn comes to the garden to relax, Raven Inkwell comes inside and shows Celestia her work as the white alicorn huffs. The earth pony starts to lead the white alicorn to the garage to prepare the chariot to come to Appleloosa.
When she comes to the garage, many of her researchers and scientists are studying the tank as Sabrina is teaching them about the engine and stuff. When the changeling sees the white alicorn, she waves her hoof, "Hey Celestia, you are going somewhere?"
"Not quite," Celestia walks to a chariot, "Just have to go to Cloudale to solve some problem."
"Hmm... charming name," Sabrina smiles, "I want to come there to see."
"Sure," Celestia sighs, "Anyway, what are you teaching?"
"Something about the engine," Sabrina rubs her head as the researchers keep writing by feather pen, "Honestly, this is a good time to learn something new, but your land is not ready for our technology so I will teach something basic first." Sabrina turns to the alicorn, "But anyway if you have an answer, tell us. We will prepare."
"I will,"
Celestia climbs on the chariot and the pegasi guards fly away. Sabrina admires this scene because it is a legend in her world, then she continues to teach about the engine. After a while, Eldaro and Luna walk inside the garage as Eldaro checks the tank while Luna sits on the chair and watches the tank.
Sabrina finishes her teaching and walks to the blue alicorn, "What are you staring at?"
"Just this... tank, right?" Luna waves her hoof, " I wonder how long to build this,"
"If this is your level of military technology, it will take like two centuries," Eldaro jumps out the tank with a thin rectangle thing, "I don't know if you are able to build this." Luna glares at him as the old man just ignores her.
He puts that thing on the table as the changeling tilts her head, "What will you do with that laptop?"
"Just... prepare something," answer Eldaro, "I know this land doesn't have a network to connect with, but I put here and wait for Silver to return," Luna levitates the laptop and starts to examine it, but Eldaro holds her horn and puts the laptop down as the blue alicorn looks at him, "Don't touch this thing, please,"
Luna starts blushing as the old man feels something strange. He releases her as the blue alicorn breathes a little, "You know that touching the horn of a unicorn will make them feel... weird, you know."
"I see..." Eldaro points outside, "First, I'm old already. And second, if I choose between you and your sister, I prefer your sister." Luna is silenced for a while, then bashing his head, making the old man lie on the ground. The blue alicorn then huffs and walks out. Sabrina shakes her head while Eldaro stands up and rubs his head, "What did I say wrong?"
"You really good at... shooting down every girl you meet," Sabrina starts walking outside as Eldaro doesn't know what happens. He follows the changeling to take a break.
The sky is changing into the black and blue color of the night as a golden chariot comes inside the place. Celestia walks out of the chariot and goes inside the castle to take a rest. When she just walks into the dining room, Luna is chatting with the old man and the changeling as the maids are putting the food on the table.
"I admire these foods," Eldaro eats the salad. "This one is so pure, not having chemicals or stuff."
"Do tell, who put the chemicals in the vegetable," Luna giggles as she looks at the changeling, "I bet that is you, right?"
"No... but... you know, it's hard to control the chemical in farming," Sabrina sighs, "If... you could share the technique in farming, I would appreciate it,"
"Just ask Sunset to create a spell for you," teases Eldaro as Sabrina glares at the old man. Eldaro puts his hand on her face, "I bet you will need her a lot." Sabrina sighs as she returns to eat the carrot.
Celestia walks to join the dinner as the trio welcomes her. The maid puts the food on the table as Celestia sighs. Luna asks, "What's wrong, sister?"
"I think I will accept the call," The white alicorn takes a bit of carrot as the others stop eating and look at her. Celestia sighs, "I know this is a dangerous thing, but if I think about the caribou, I feel something is not wrong when leaving them with the tyrant king."
"Are you sure about that?" asks Eldaro, "You don't afraid of revenge?"
"That's why I need your help," Celestia points at the old man, "If I send my soldiers, Dainn will know where they are from and take revenge for my cities and ponies."
"I see," Sabrina folds her front hooves, "but are you sure about this? I am willing to help you. But if we succeed, many caribous and creatures there will find the way to get out of their country."
"I know," Celestia nods her head, "And I will have another ally for my country. I think I will have two."
"That's because we owe Sunset a lot," Eldaro puts his fist on his cheek, "and we will borrow her, once."
"And I will supply food and weapons," Celestia looks outside, "That's all you want, right?"
Eldaro nods, "Yep, we are collecting the information of that country, and we will ask about the rebellion. If they are ready to fight, we will help them."
"That... quite generous," Luna smiles, "I am not seeing a queen and a general. I am seeing heroes."
Eldaro and Sabrina look at each other and laugh, then they turn back to the meal with the Sisters as the old man knows this is a hard way to return.
