Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

Sabrina comes to the juice store and goes upstairs. Opening the door, the changeling sees an old man is watching the creatures from the window. The soldiers are in a hurry while the normal creature seems to be walking inside without any fear.

Sabrina looks at the chessboard. "Someone comes to play with you."

"Just a friend of ours." Eldaro sighs. "I wonder if this mind controlling mind increases to the next level. The level where the emotion will be wore off."

"Sounds dangerous." Sabrina looks at a camouflage sniper rifle and realizes that gun. "You seem to be looking at the past, don't you?"

"No. I just can't remember where I got that sniper rifle." Eldaro smiles. "I should shave my beard."

Sabrina giggles. "Lying too bad, old man. Anyway, the attack was successful, but we lost many soldiers from that attack."

"Let me guess, five hundred?" Eldaro turns inside. "I guess we should have a safer way."

"Three, three hundred." Sabrina slams the table. "Aria reported that the plan was going smoothly when it completely destroyed their farms, factories and a harbor."

Eldaro rubs his chin. "Looks like the enchanted ammunition did a good job in there. Did you find something unusual?"

"Nothing. Trevor said that the soldiers are in high spirits when the campaign is successful." Sabrina takes a 'queen' on the chessboard. "When do you want to use it?"

"Not yet. This 'queen' is my final option." Eldaro sips tea. "A good tea make me have a lot better mind."

Sabrina rolls her eyes and she turns to leave the room.

Inside the city under the ground, the soldiers are partying hard. Aria looks around and sees a yellow caribou is drunk while the brown one is struggling to get out of her grasp. Aria shakes her head and turns to leave but a brown hoof takes her.

Aria looks back and sees Trevor is begging for her help. The brown pony sighs and pushes Bell away from Trevor but the yellow caribou hugs Trevor immediately. Aria smiles. "Look like you have to take her to her room."

"No. She looks like want to keep me in her room." Trevor tries to deny it. "I don't want to do it."

"Come on, you shouldn't deny her like that." Aria pokes his antler. "She is so cute for you, right?"

Trevor looks back at Bell and finds her cuteness. The brown caribou sighs and stands up, then he heads to Bell's room to take a rest.

Aria sighs in relief and sneaks away from the party to go outside. Sabrina is heading to the HQ to get Trevor. When she just passed the old mare, the changeling is being grasped by Aria. The old mare smiles. "Can we have a talk?"

"Sure. Can you wait for a moment?" Sabrina looks at the old mare and points at the nearby mountain. "I'll be back for about 10 minutes. Meet you at that hill."

Aria heads to the hill. When she is at the top, she sees a table in a flat space, near a cliff. Looking at the cliff, it is very deep. Aria notices the changeling is coming here with some tea leaves.

Aria sits down and asks. "Who put this table in the place like this?"

Sabrina puts the tea leaves into the pot and starts cooking it. The changeling sighs. "Eldaro, the one who likes to be abnormal."

Aria nods. "Anyway, I want to ask something about that old man." Sabrina sits beside the old mare. "When I talked to him, I saw something he regretted in his talking."

Sabrina smiles. "He regret because he can't complete his dream." Aria looks at the changeling carefully as Sabrina continues. "He never wanted to be a general since the beginning. He wants to be a baker."

"A baker?" The old mare is surprised. "But that... can't be."

"You really don't know." Sabrina puts the cups on the table. "Before being a general of my country. He is a baker in a bakery in Ren Village, a small village in the south of ... eh... my capital city. Honestly, I still remember that bakery."

"You like it? That means you want something in it." Aria sighs. "Then what happens?"

Sabrina sighs. "It happens on the day when I become a queen...

A young woman with the white pony-tail hair was sitting next to a quite old man with silver and black hair in a car. Some of the guards are sitting next to them. They seem to have some trouble when driving a quite ugly road.

Eldaro sighed in frustration. "Come on, I don't have time to wait. I want to come back as soon as we can."

Sabrina folded her arm and laughed. "Come on Eldaro, your bakery is still there, no one is going to steal your cake. Even if it was... delicious."

"And you are going to steal the title." Eldaro put his leg on the chair. "Man, I just want to hug my wife to sleep already."

Sabrina teased. "I hope that she won't kick you to the living room because of me. I am a beautiful girl by the way."

"Meh, you just a third rate in my eyes." Eldaro knocks Sabrina's head. "And you should buy something to cure yourself."

Sabrina laughed and leaned on the chair. When they were near the village, there was a lot of smoke flying in the sky. Eldaro realized that way is his village. Sabrina commanded the rider to drive faster there.

When they got there, the village was becoming a ruin with some of the buildings on fire. Eldarlo ran fast to the bakery to see what happened. The man got there and saw his bakery was burnt. His wife's head was stuck on the stick in front of the flaming building. Eldaro kneeled down and didn't believe what he just saw. Sabrina looked at him, then she commanded her soldier to check somewhere and left him alone.

"I see." Aria pours the tea on her cup. "So... after that, he joins the military to have revenge?"

"Yeah. It will happen in the next month. I know that it would be hard to join but he accepted the test." Sabrina sighs. "His physical condition was to blame for being a soldier."

"I see. So he worked like a commander." Aria turns outside. "Interesting. I used to wish to have a commander like that at my age."

"Dream on." Sabrina teases. "I remembered that he started to be a captain over 10 years ago. Heck, that's too fast to be a general."

"... I see." Aria stands up. "I have to go to meet my old friend. Sorry for disturbing you."

"It's a good feeling to talk with the dead person." Sabrina rubs her chin. "Feeling weird though."

"Not weird enough." Aria stretches her wings and flies away, leaving the changeling drinking her tea and chilling in the personal space.

Celestia is reading a paper about the reports in Atlas. She feels happy when Akron city is completely destroyed. The food crisis will be a serious problem in Atlas.

When Celestia is feeling happy about the report, Luna appears behind her and reads the report paper. Celestia pushes her sister away, then turns back to her and pulls her cheek.

Luna pushes the hooves away. "Stop that."

"Why? You are such a cute little pony, Woona." Celestis pats Luna's head as the blue alicorn pushes her hoof away. Celestia coughs. "Anyway, how is our campaign?"

"I have cleared all of the criminals that try to set the mind -controlling pole." Luna sighs. "All of them are being mind-controlled."

"I see. I want to check our food storage." Celestia is opening her desk. "To do an investment."

"What investment?" Luna tilts her head. "You are not going to arrive at Atlas, right?" Celestia nods. Luna slams the table. "Are you crazy? You can't support Dainn like that."

"Who said I am going to support Dainn?" Celestia taps her hoof. "I am not stupid."

Luna looks at the map. "Then the rebellion, right? You shouldn't trust them too much like this."

"I must trust them actually." Celestia brings out the map. "Because of them, Dainn can't send the army to invade another country. They just like the front line of resistance."

"But what if their leader will be the same, like Dainn?" Luna retorts. "You can't trust them like that, especially if you and the leader never have a meeting with each other."

"I am going to have a meeting with him, actually." Celestia sighs. "But not now. I will do that in next month."

"I disagree, sister." Luna shakes her head. "I can't trust them."

Celestia sighs. "I have decided." Luna glares at her sister as the white alicorn sighs. "I know this is hard for you but we have to trust them. We can control the situation."

Luna rubs her head. "Fine. I trust you this time, but you better not come back with a wound." Then she leaves the room. Celestia rolls her eyes and knows that this will be hard.

The moon is rising up and the red armored soldiers are guarding around the hospital. Inside the hospital, there is a stag who is wrapped by the bandage. The explosion made the stag heavily injured.

Hrathr looks at the picture that has a female stag, a small one and him. He tries to hold it but he accidently drops it.

Suddenly, a brown hoof grabs the picture before it touches the ground and gives it to him. "Thank you." Hrathr looks at the hoof and slowly turning up. He sees the brown old mare is standing there and watches him. Hrathr sighs. "What now, old mare? You want to kill me?"

"Is this my old stag when he can finally finds the artifacts with me in the ruin." Aria puts the picture on Hrathr's chest and pokes it. "It seem unfamiliar."

"What do you want? I have nothing to say. Just kill me." Hrathr turns away. "At least I can finally meet you before the end."

Aria sits down. "What about your family?" Hrathr glares at the old mare as Aria takes the picture. "I know that you will never serve Dainn except something."

"You know nothing." Hrathr keeps glare at the old mare. "The old king is suddenly death so I have to serve this new king."

"Nice lie." Aria stands up. "I will head to your home and find your family, then I will 'release' by my halberd."

"You... you... don't you dare to touch my family?" Hrathr tries to stands up but the halberd is pointed near him like a centimeter, make him lies down. "Fine. I will tell you everything."

"Good boy." Aria puts the halberd down. "Now let's start. I will help you if I can."

Hrathr starts to talk about the old king, Svardagr, being poisoned when driving back to the capital. Hrathr and Lord Rashk were investigated and found out Dainn was the one who poisoned the old king.

Hrathr tried to get out of Atlas but Dainn came there first and prisoned then in the capital city. He couldn't go out and had to serve hulim. Rashk knew that and he volunteered to serve Dain in order to keep Hrathr safe.

The old mare hears that and sighs. "That's why you served that kid."

"And what will you do? Rescue them?

Aria stands up. "In trade. You and that stag named Rasks will be on my side, got it? I will bring you out too after I'm done"

"Sure. If you can." Hrathr gives the old mare a smirk. "You can sneak into here, but I doubt that you can do it there."

"Let wait." Aria opens the window. "And we will see about that." And she jumps out of the window. The soldiers around come to chase her.

Hrathr looks at the picture and just wishes that Aria will succeed.
