The pony group got to Hawk's house. They quickly entered it, so no more guardponies see them. The house was poor on furniture. There was only a table, some chairs and a wardrobe.
I don't need anything luxurios. - Hawk guessed what they were thinking. - Just the basic. Now to continue my story. I was about to tell you about Blaze, the Fire lord, wasn't I?
Yes, you were. - Rarity replied them.
I spent every moment I didn't use to invent new arrow peaks to fight him. Luckily, I wasn't alone. A young mare about my age always helped me. She used this. - said he and opened the wardrobe
Rarity looked inside. It was a strange looking battlesuit. There were two black bracelets on the front hooves. The only other thing on it was the belt.
It is a very strange thing. I bought it for her from a travelling trader. It is more than it looks like. The suit enchances the pony, who wears it, to have excellent close- combat battle skills. The bracelets contain poisonous bullets and the belt is full with amunition.
What happened to the mare, who weared this suit? - asked Rarity
Her name was Graytree. She was my marefriend. But the guards of the tyran caught her and killed her. This suit is the only thing, that remained from her. But you should wear it! - he got the suit and gave it to Rarity.
Me? No, darling, that is far too generous. And I am the Element of Generocity!
There is no use for such a powerful weapon to just hang in my wardrobe. And I have broken up with the past. Take it.
A..alright. - Rarity was amazed from Hawk's generocity.
It feels strange. - said she after she put it on.
We need a little training, so you can feel how to use it. Hmm... that dragon!
Me? - Spike was angry. First this stranger flirted with Rarity and now he asked Rarity to beat him. - He's turning us against each other! He is a spy!
It was a joke! We'll use a scarecrow! - Hawk told him.
Oh. Sorry, bro. - Spike felt uncomfortable.
No problem.
Rarity, try to test it out.
Rarity still felt strange about their new team member and wasn't sure about her feelings. Because of this she just tried to swing her left front hoof to the target gently. Instead she jumped and decapitated the poor scarecrow with a strong left- hoof punch.
Wow, this surely is powerful! - Rarity was a little intimidated from the powers of the suit.
The suit is called " The Widow", because it makes the bad ponies' wifes widows! - joked the archer
Rarity still felt uncomfortable. Taking such a big gift from a pony, who she just met, and who had lost his marefriend in a tragic accident? And now he was giving it to her? Was he thinking her for her new marefriend or something?
- Hawk, can we talk alone for a minute?
Rainbow Dash started to sing:
- Rarity and Hawk sitting on a tree...
An arrow struck the tree next to Dash
- Be careful! - Hawk warned her.
Now it was Pinkie and Applejack's turn to laugh. This time on Dash.
You, you, are you sure for this? - Rarity asked Hawk after they got behind his house.
What? You think you are now my marefriend?
Well,so- so, darling.
The fact, that you call me darling and not by my name, hints it. But I leave this decision to you. Untill you are sure in your feelings, stop calling me darling, please. It is embarassing.
Ok, Hawk.
That's it. I may have the feeling, but you should have them too. I won't force you to do anything.
The both ponies got in front of the house. Everypony else were looking at them.
- Ah, I gave her some advice about the suit! - lied Hawk.
Everypony threw their "Oh, really?"look at them.
Awkward! - whispered Rarity
The firelord must be stopped! - Hawk tried to distract the group from the love conversation, that everypony thought they had and which they actually did have - The ice arrows and your friend Glace will be extremly useful!
Why? - asked Glace
The Fire lord doesn't rely only on stolen kinds turned fire guards. He also has an elite group of soldiers, called the fire spirits.They have no flesh and nothing can't hurt them. Their only weakness is the hole in their armory. from there they cool down. But if we freeze or cool down too much this area, the spirits will extinguish themselves. Clear?
Clear! - replied everypony, but hawk could still see the laughter in thir eyes.
We assault the castle tommorow!
Spike already had no hope, that Rarity would love him. What was he? A normal baby dragon. And what was Hawk? A fully- grown stalion with a pinpoint accuracy. Obviously his cupid had the same acuracy and hit Rarity's hearth from the first shot. He even didn't realise when he started singing:
- Rarity and Hawk sitting on a tree...
He even didn't feel when Hawk got him and took him behind the house:
Look, bro. I see you are jealous from the very beginning. Just don't. Let her decide. Ok?
Ok. - replied Spike
Now get a good night sleep, because tommorow the battle wouldn't be only for the castle, it would also be for Rarity!
