//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: MLP Spying is Freindship // by Timelord04 //------------------------------// The three stallions stood at attention before their king, splendid in full uniform regalia only their eyes followed the grand figure of their lord as he paced, slowly turning to them “Bow Sehne” the king nodded to the earth pony of dark brown skin and forest green mane and tail with a bow for a cutie mark. The King turned next to a pale skinned dark maned pony with an abacus on his flank and a confident look in his eye nodding toward his sire “Magnus Wolke” the king smirked at the Intelligence pony before turning to a noble looking stallion standing straighter then the rest, a much more elegant and stylized uniform an eager controlling grin threatening to overtake his face. “My nephew you will lead this group of your friends to Equestria and you will send me reports every week on what you find on their nature, and from your reports we will make plans on removing that foal Celestia.” The king laughed as he sent his three spies off to start their appointed task. “Messer Von Ross” The immaculate pony turned slowly to face his uncle the King “Yes Mien Liege?” the king watched him before saying “Succeed and the title barony is yours….fail..” he let it hang in the air as Messer bowed “Of course”. Walking out of the throne room his mind running, contingencies for their plan looking up from his plots seeing Bow Sehne already pining over the state of his beloved bow. “Why do you love that stupid thing Sehne, it’s just a useless piece of junk” smirking Magnus ignored the heated look from his woodland companion while going over his own equipment that he would bring for the journey that consisted of a saddle bag filled with books and self-made notes on what he thought they would have to deal with. “At least I don’t read all day and night and do nothing!” retorted Bow already moving toward Magnus threateningly, already at one another’s throats “Knowledge is power!” Magnus shouted back. “Enough foals you’re acting like new born fillies!” Von Ross takes a deep breath calming himself “Besides it is befitting stallions of such prestigious stations such as us” the other two deflated and sat down at his command “Messer your no fun you know that, you should join me after this mission for a hunt” A loud burst of laughter erupted from the other side of the room as Magnus wiped a tear from his eye with a hoof “You know for a fact that he’ll never set hoof out of the city unless he’s forced to and besides it would mess up his perfectly spiked mane” still smirking reaching up to wrap a leg around his shoulders when a dark grey aura surrounded Magnus’s hoof and threw him away “Know your place when speaking with me, Bow you know I have more important things to do then run about in the disgusting forest…and why do you hunt we don’t even eat meat?” The hunter pony looked up from his work and shrugged “It’s fun the thrill of the hunt is what I live for” Magnus shook his head and looked back at Messer’s cutie mark of a mask half black half white “So Messy what does that cutie mark even mean?” Messer shook his head and sighed at the foolishness of the other pony “Firstly don’t call me that, and secondly it means I’ll show you the side of myself that you want so that I can control you to my whims” both the common born pony’s just looked at one another then back to him “what?” they said together, Messer just face hoofed “Just get ready!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “My little pony’s, thank you for coming” All six element of harmony bearers stood before their beloved matriarch. “I have called you here because we are receiving very important visitor’s from the neighboring country of Stallions Reich” the six assembled pony’s looked at one another confused until Twilight spoke up “Princess isn’t that a closed off country and not to mention aggressive” Fluttershy let out a squeak at that hiding behind the nearest pony. “Yes that is true we have had problems with their leader King Bishorse.” Celestia let a small smile cross her face “But this is a Momentous occasion, the three coming will be here for lessons in friendship, that is why I want you six ponies to help them learn and hopefully they will return and teach what they have learned back in their homeland, hopefully they will make Stallions Reich a happier place and let us befriend them” once again Twilight was the first to speak but this time all the ponies looked almost eager to help these strangers learn what they did all those months back “We would be glad to to help these ponies Princess Celestia” the regal alicorn smiled and proud of her star pupil and her friends, then a different pony spoke up “Princess would you perchance know if any of these Stallions are royalty?” asked a hopefully pristine white pony with the perfect mane. Celestia smiled a little at her question “Well one is the nephew of the king and a soon to be Baron, Messer Von Ross” Rarity’s eyes lit up at the words while the others merely smiled and sighed at her.
