I was in deep sleep in a snake jar, which was now a regular jar after I hugged a cobra to death, and even though was being moved around, I was never disturbed. In fact, the rocking motion was very soothing which but me in a deeper sleep. I had dreams of what the new world was like, a utopia of all types of ponies, a luscious meadow accompanied by a beautiful town with a shiny silver castle in the middle. To add a little more drama and epicness, I dreamt up a evil stallion, who was covered in so much skulls, it was like he was wearing skulls on his skulls as he let out a evil laugh . I stood on a hill and looked up at the skull cloaked stallion and yelled "You won't get away this skull lord". I launched my self in the air and prepared to strike down skull lord as he jumped towards me doing the same. After we clashed, Skull lord was defeated and the kingdom was saved and I was named king of the new world by the old king, who was wearing a really huge golden crown with fluffy red robe. He told me that I deserved more than he did because I was more awesome than he was. As the outside condition got warmer, my dream world was changed to a luscious beach. I was wearing the golden crown and wearing the long, red, fluffy robe while laying down on a bunch of throne pillows. I lay down and relaxed while 3 cute mares, a brown earth pony with dark pony tail mane was on my left giggling, A pink Pegasus with long flowing golden mane with pink hair liner was on my right kissing me cheek and a light blue unicorn with purple long mane covering one of her eye was crawling up my legs and onto my body giving me a seducing glare. "It's good to be to the King" I said blushing as I let out a sigh of pure bliss and happiness.
"WHERE IS MY SNAKE" the light-blue unicorn said, but in a rough stallion's voice as it surprised as my eyes widen and let out a loud scream waking me up from my pleasant dream.
"Wha-What is going?" i asked still a bit cranky from being woken up from a awesome dream.
"Hello is someone in their!" said a stallion as he starts to shake the jar with me in it making me a bit annoyed and a bit sick.
I popped my head out of the Jar and stared at a light-brown stallion with a goatee and a long black mustache and yelled "Hey dude, knock it off." The stallion fell over and let out a loud scream as he was caught of guard by me popping my head out of the jar. I climbed out of the jar and landed on to the sand to gaze at the new world. I see a bunch stone like house and of course i feel the scorching heat coming from this sun. "hmm not what I expected and phew its hot in here" I said expecting my surrounding as this is place is not how I dreamt it "hmm maybe I'll get a better view of this place if I climb."
"Hey colt, mind telling me what you are doing in my snake jar and where is my cobra" the mustached stallion yelled as he walked up to me getting in my face about it.
"hmm What's a cobra? Oh you mean that snake" I said as I looked at him angry not really interested about his problem.
"Yes Yes now what happened to my snake?" the mustached stallion said while smiling but with a ticked off tone in his voice.
"hmm tell me where am I first then I will tell you about your um snake" I said giving him a cheeky grin.
"Grrrrr....phew your in Saddle Arabia" he said while trying not to get too angry with me, so he can get his answer, "Now where is my Cobra?"
"Yeah I hugged your cobra to death. Thanks for the help" I answered with a smile as I ran past him and start climbing the building by jumping from window to window.
"You little bastard" he yelled really loud really mad that I killed his cobra.
"Thanks for the help mister" I said appreciating his help while ignoring his insult and the loss of his snake as I make my way to the top of the stone building to get a view of Saddle Arabia. After reaching the top of the building, I saw the vast city of Saddle Arabia and how majestic and different it looked from Germaneigh and Guardania. "Woah!" I said in amazement as I see of in the distance large building some had amazing structure, some made of better material as we get closer to the center where a huge palace resides with a weird gold shape like a curved top and huge gate with amazing robes and and banner around it. Their was a building with a oasis on top of it, a group of ponies, wearing white rob, gathered in a building with a open field, however some were in ruin and badly damaged. I figured their must be some disaster especially around the western region, where it was hit the most. Despite that damaged area, Saddle Arabia still looks like an amazing place and I wondered how I was gonna handle this new world. "Saddle Arabia, I have arrived!" I said to the world of Saddle Arabia letting it know that I am here.
"Welcome to Saddle Arabia kid" a voice that sounds like they haven't drank what in weeks welcomed me to Saddle Arabia. I turn to see a Stallion wearing a black turban covering his head and wearing jewel encrusted armor.
"Uh thanks stranger who are you?" I asked curious of who this stranger is.
"Names Skarr kid" Skarr said as he walks towards me "and you are"
"Who wants to know?" I said as I stepped back cautiously sensing something off about this stallion.
"I am the head of Saddle Arabia Special Forces (SASF). Now show your respect and give me your name or I will force it out of you" Skarr threatened as he approached me.
"Well I am... getting the hell out of here" I said as I quickly try to run away. Unfortunately, my left front hoof was rapped around in some dark cloth which came from Skarr back as I struggle to escape.
"Your not going anywhere kid" he said as he pulls me closer to him with one hoof while signaling the Pegasus from above who was wearing the same clothing but in a light browner turban.
"That's what you think ugly" I insulted him as growled while grabbing my sword with my tail not only cutting the fabric that was holding me but creating a fire slash in his direction. He was able to side step out of the way, giving the chance to jump off the building and grabs some clothes line to swing on and jump of to another window in another building and wall jump away from the SASF.
"Weird kid" Skarr said to himself while the Pegasus meets with him to await their orders. "He went int between those building I want the soldiers to head to the South, Southwest and West of Saddle Arabia. He must not escape" He order the SASF Pegasus.
"As you wish sir" the SASF Pegasus said as the bowed as one heads for Burning Blitz as the other heads to gather more troops.
I jumped through window to window and bounced on each of the fabric that was the roof of some of the merchants tent before running on the ground dodging other ponies and avoiding the SASF sights by turning into an alley, but everywhere I turn Pegasus was always find me and running continues as I said in frustration "Geez how do I get rid of these guys?". I see a interesting place with purple fabric and nice music and they're a lot of ponies in their, which was a good place to hide. "Their are a lot of people I can hide among the crowds" I said as I head inside and stopped walking and walked normally inside this colorful room. This place had music, a weird smoke thing and pretty unicorn mare dancing in a weird suits. I heard around the other ponies that these were belly dancers. "Belly Dancer weird name" I said confused but I looked around as some SASF members came inside I crawled away until one of the belly dancers tapped me on my head and before I could say anything she shushed me.
"Shush! Follow me I will help you" she whispered as a tan colored, belly dancer, unicorn mare wearing red belly dancer clothes with a golden liner on her waist, with a purple pony tail mane held with a golden scrunchy escorted me to a secret room.
I nodded and followed her as I stayed low until we got to the room which looked like her dresser room. "Thanks for helping me lady" I couldn't have escaped without your help" I thanked her as I looked into her pretty big eyes "So what's your name?"
"Your a cute kid my name is Fantasy" she said in a seductive tone as she walked passed me and her pony tail rubbed my face making me blush. "Sorry to say this, but you haven't escaped yet." Fantasy said as her seductive tone turned fierce as she uses her magic from her horn, which glowed purple, to pull out two giant golden curved sword and started to slash them around me.
"Woah I thought you wanted to help me." I said while dodging her swords.
"You should have thought twice kid, I am with SASF" Fantasy said as she starts to rotate one of her swords and launches it towards me.
"If your with them, then why not rat me out seems stupid don't you think" I replied while wall jumping of the wall and over the spinning blade making my way towards Fantasy.
"I prefer doing it solo, nothing give me more pleasure than crushing myself." Fantasy seductive as let out a chuckle before her other sword came at me. I was able to block, but it did sent me falling back to the doorway.
"Well I am gonna show you how stupid you are when I beat you to the ground." I said as I glared back at Fantasy as I twirl my blade as I start to charge up my attack.
"Ha I am an elite member of SASF and I show no mercy not even to a colt" Fantasy said with a evil grin on her face as she was ready for a wide power slice.
"News for you." I said with a grin as the swords slice I ducked was able to upper slice it so hard that both sword when crossed were split in half, "I too am a elite.". I walked up to fantasy and pointed a sword to her neck as explained "Now your my hostage got it?".
"Alright you won but let me honor you with a dance of defeat for your victory" she bowed her head while grinning at me without my notice.
"Like the idea, make it short" I said happy but at the same time in a hurry.
"Oh it will be." Fantasy said with another seductive tone as she started to dance as her hips were moving side to side and her arms were in the air waving in a weird but lovely way. I noticed her horn glowing, but before I react she hit me and everything was blurry. A loud echo was heard from above as I hear Fantasy voice "HEY YOU AWAKE LITTLE COLT"
"What the?" I yelled as I saw a ginormous Fantasy who was like hundred feet tall which made remind me of Gardenia which upsetted me.
"YOUR JUST THE WAY I WANT YOU UNDER MY HOOVES" Fantasy said as she lifted her hooves revealing stains of all the other crushed ponies.
I was horrified but I had to get away so I fired a fire slice from my sword which made her back of and hop around while blowing on her hooves. I immediately ran under a couch while I jumped to avoid the earthquake she was making with her hooves. "Damn she shrunk me. I need to figure a way out." I said catching my breathe trying to figure a way out until I see a little hold in the wall "Got to get their somehow hmm?".
"YOU LITTLE PEST, I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?" Fantasy said in a angry tone but a return to a evil smirk as she head for the couch and used her magic to lift the couch over her head and said out loud "GOTCHA!".
I was able to avoid her sights, because i was on the legs of the sofa and with that oppertunity I jumped and stabbed her snout and yelled "NO GOT YOU!".
This made Fantasy flick me closer to the hole in the fall as she let out a loud ouch, before turning to my shrunken size yelling "YOU'LL PAY YOU INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE..". Fantasy was interrupted because the couch fell on her head after she lost her focus on her head making her lose consciousness.
"See ya, You big dummy" I said taunting as I stick my tongue out to her before I ran through the small hole and made it outside. Just before the SASF guards came in to check, what was up and assist the unconscious Fantasy.
I ran through what seem like a alleyway with trash container and rats in my shrunken state. My small size didn't last long as I immediately grew back to my normal size saying, after I took a breath of relief, "Glad to be back to normal." . Realizing that I was still wanted, I proceeded by hiding behind the trash container to avoid being found by the SASF and I say to myself "Their everywhere. I need some sorta way to blend in, a disguise perhaps". I look around for something to use as a disguise, but I notice that most ponies wore white gowns and some sorta cloth on their head. "Why are they wearing pajamas it's not night time" I said confused about the choice of clothing these ponies wear, but at the same time, it would be the perfect way to blend into the crowd. I looked around to find some clothing and I was able to find some white gowns just above me hanging in the clothes line. I looked around for the SASF troops to see if the coast is clear to jump up from wall to wall working my way to the clothesline. In one quick movement, I grabbed the white gown with my teeth and used my tail to swing myself back into the wall, with minimum detection, as i return back behind the trash container to put on my robe. The robe was too big, so I cut the robe to be the perfect size, while still covering my armor and sword, and also not to trip over my robe. I used the spare cloth I cut from the robe to make a head wear so I can cover my mane to decrease detection. "Perfect, I look good" I said as I saw my reflection in the puddle. "OK, lets see if this work." I said as took a deep breath praying for my disguise to work, "Here goes nothing.", I said with confident as I start to walk into the crowd trying to blend into society. So far it is working, the SASF pegasus are flying over me while avoiding getting to close to the SASF unicorns and earth ponies. "It's working they don't notice a thing, hehe." I said to myself letting a small giggle as I am relieved that my disguised work. Unfortunately, the laughter didn't last long as my stomach started to growled, which took the joy out of me and replaced it hunger and sorrow. "Dang, I am starving" I said feeling my stomach as I searched for a food stand and after walking around the city, I found a fruit stand and unsurprisingly it wasn't free. I walked up to the light-green fruit sales pony who was wearing the same robe as me, and had five'a'clock shadow. "How much for a apple sir" I said acting sweet and desperate.
"If you ask then you can't afford" he said with taking a deep breath and responded with a rough tone in his voice.
"I don't know how much it cost, sir" I replied annoyed on the inside but acting sweet and innocent on the outside.
"Ugh, It's 2 emerald coins" sales pony said with annoyed look on his face as he wiped his face.
"Emerald!? I mean oh emerald coins well I don't have any, but I am so hungry" I said at first shock about the payment, then changed it to act sweet as I gave a puppy dog eyes.
"No coins, no apple. Beat it!" he yelled at me not having any sympathy for me.
"Fine you heartless punk!" I said upset that I didn't get free food from this annoying thug.
"Bah!" the sales pony said not caring about my insults. Just after that, I used my tail to steal a fruit and increase by walking pace, however he noticed and let out a loud "HEY!".
"Thanks for the apple" I said being coy and escaped around the corner eating the apple which tasted mushy, but sweet still. I continued to walk down the road as the sun started to set and the temperature was dropping fast. This surprised me due to the fact the it was scorching a few minutes ago. I looked for a place to stay, but I have no money for the inns and I couldn't stay in someones home in a risk of being snitched out to the SASF. I decided to head to the east of Saddle Arabia, because it was in ruin and I could hide in their till suns up. I ran towards the east while using my tail to steal bread from food stand so I won't sleep hungry tonight. After a many hours of speed walking and bumping into strangers, I arrived in the east side ruins of Saddle Arabia and I was right that very few ponies lived here which made it perfect for me to take shelter for the night. I climbed my way to one of the emptier and damaged building and used my head piece as a pillow to lay down on. It wasn't comfy, but it was all I can do for now. "First day of Saddle Arabia was not as I expected" I said as I looked up at the star in the sky, "but, tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow I will prove my dad wrong, and I will survive!". Minutes later, I fell asleep still shivering from the coldness of this wasteland.
One week later...
I awoke again from another restless night sleeping on the hard ground of the ruined building. I lost a few weight from the lack of food I was eating throughout the week and a the only thing I had to drink was cactus juice which just makes me hallucinate and passed out for many hours while a snobby camel was mocking me from the side. I got up, feeling groggy and tired, wore my robe and head into the desert to greet the snobby camel. After walking into the desert, while eating the small loaf of bread I had left, I approached the snobby camel, who just came back from his walk, and with a smirk I said, "Hey Cam, guess what day is it?"
"Don't you dare?" the camel yelled out of disgust and anger surprising me, "Ever since my brother went around spouting out that insufferable catchphrase. It has become so popular, that us other camel are fed up hearing that phrase over and over again every Wednesday." .
"My bad sorry cam" I said feeling sorry and caught of guard by his anger.
"It's Camelot Fufflebag III" he raised his nose in the air annoyed that I keep calling him cam.
"Whatever" I said rolled my eye as walked by him to get some cactus juice to help me get by the afternoon.
"Cactus Juice again why not get a job and buy some water you ruffian" Camelot said as he looked at me ashamed.
"Why don't you mind your own buis..." I said but I was interrupted by a firework that was coming from the ginormous palace accompanied by the sound of cheering ponies. "What is going on?" I said as I was looking at the fireworks wondering what was going on.
"Have you been living under a rock?" Camelot said rolling his eyes and the dumb question I asked, "ugh, It is that time of the month when the royal Sultan greets his people spreading his wealth and wisdom throughout Saddle Arabia."
"Sultan, kinda like a King" I asked Camelot as my curiosity grew and a grin covered my face.
"Yes, if you wanna be medieval." Camelot said as I was not annoyed cause I finally get to meet the king.
"Gotta see this, Thanks Cam" I said as I head to finally meet the king but not before I turn to face Camelot and said with a grin, "Happy Hump Day." .
I ran into town but not before Camelot said out of anger. "OOOOOOOOOO YOU LITTLE BRAT!" .
I ran into the city, carefully avoiding the rush of other ponies as they ran their way to the palace. Annoyed by the constant shoving and insulting, I got out of the way by standing near a wall and letting them all pass, but at the same time I said "If I don't get their sooner I won't get a better view.". Without a moment to lose, I quickly started to climb the building, but i wasn't able to climb it due to the lack of food that I was eating and fell down after climbing one window. "Ow too tired, too hungry." I said moaning as my stomach growled and the pain of falling. After getting up, I looked around and saw no one around, with that in mind, I said "Everyone is gone, if everyone is at the palace then no will be at their homes". I quickly headed inside one of the building and my theory was right it was completely empty. I made my way to on of the open windows that is closest to the top. With one taken breath, I immediately jumped out the window, and made a stubbly landing on the roof of a shorter building due to my hunger. "*groan* How many more building do I have to jump." I said as I looked at the palace and I groaned louder as I realized that I have still have a long way to go. I jumped through building and building and each time and with every time I land I would stumbled more and more causing small scraps and tear on my body and robe. Eventually, I would arrive at the building closest to the main road that leads to the palace where I would rest, but not peacefully due to the loud cheers and foot stomp of ponies and the loud fireworks. Out of nowhere a loud horn was played as the gates, suddenly opened and the first to appear where the SASF wore a tan colored turban with golden armor. Then followed by a bunch of cute unicorn belly dancer as I stared at them with both love and hate because of Fantasy. After that, their were jugglers, musicians and more guards surrounding the float that was caring many fruits and desserts that also revolved around a weird cannon. As soon as the food cart passed a gigantic elephant creature walked right in and behind it another fruit float with a weird cannon in the center that surround it with another group of guards. "Woah, This is some show and look at how big that elephant is." I said out of surprised and my hunger grew more seeing those food on that float. I looked around and noticed something that elephant was wearing a not only a royal purple and golden tarp, but what I first thought was a hat on his butt was actually a weird purple silky throne around with Skarr on the left, A bulky pegasus wearing dark turban similar to Skarr on the right and Fantasy with a gauze on her head on top of the covered throne dancing. "That must be wear the Sultan is sitting." I said as I awaited for the Sultan to step out. The festival continued with cheers and the SASF delivering food to everyone as I kept my faced covered as one of the SASF delivered me a slice of strawberry shortcake and a plate full of pancakes which lit a smile on my face. I started to eat the strawberry shortcake until I hear under horn as I looked down to see a Skarr blowing the horn to get everyone to stop cheering and get their attention.
"Attention Stallion and Mare, It is my honor to announce the presence of our great leader, Sultan Figgy Pudding" Skarr said as he used stepped aside and to kneel for respect with Fantasy and the Black turban pegasus kneeling with them.
"Ha Figgy Pudding!" I said as I snickered under my breath not drawing attention to my self while eating my strawberry shortcake. As the Sultan stepped out of his covered veil throne revealing a a very fat brown stallion with a long, white bear that covers his lips and chin. wearing a giant turban with a shiny red gem on his head and a mark of a golden pudding with a turban on top of it. "Woah he is fat" I yelled before I close my mouth as I took cover as the other ponies and the guards looks up at the building, where I was held, but they didn't see anyone and resumed it was a kid, but Skarr was suspicious.
Figgy Pudding let out a jolly laugh as he grabbed his gut and said, "ho ho well I guess I did gain a pound or two.". The citizens and guards join in the laughter of Figgy Pudding admiring his spirit, but not to much to avoid being to mean to him. "Now on to business" he said clearing his throat as he slowly approaches the head of the elephant and said out loud,"I'm glad you all could join in this monthly festivities after another situation led by those atrocious and monstrous sand beasts.". The citizens all look terrified and start to talk as the remind themselves what happened.
"Sand beasts?" I said as I looked at the east side of the Saddle Arabia and gazed at the damage, "So that's what happened.".
"This isn't a time for fear, this is a time for celebrating!" Figgy Pudding said out loud which confused the guards, citizens and me. "We celebrate that we are still alive, because as long as we are alive and still have faith in each other we will over come everything that those insufferable sand beast throw at each other." He said with a passion in his tone of his voice that gets the citizens pumped up and me curious. "As long as I am alive and big boned, as long as my are willing to put everything on the line, and as long as the ponies of this town have the faith in not only me and my guards, but in themselves. Those sand monster won't stand a chance, because we have something those monster will never have.. a kind heart." he yelled louder and louder as he brought the feeling hope and tears of joy to these ponies and even to some guards.
"Someones been practicing." I said not believing in the words he said because of his appearence of a fat slob.
"NOW MY SADDLE ARABIAN BROTHERS AND SISTER REJOICE" Figgy Pudding yelled while signaling the guards to fire the cannon which fired gems of all color green, blue, yellow, red, purple, silver and gold. Figgy Pudding soon fell over out of exhaustion, but to be caught by Skarr and the dark turbaned pegasus. "My word I must have overdid it again" Figgy Pudding said with winded breath as he grabs a handkerchief to whip the sweat of his forehead as Skarr and buff turban pegasus carried him back to his throne.
"You were inspirational as usual sir" The pegasus said as he sets him down and kneels before him as he starts to tear up.
"Now now Arid Dunes, cheer up, I'm well now just escort me back to the palace I want to see my fellow ponies rejoice." Figgy Pudding said as he lays down on the throne room catching his breath.
"Right away" Arid Dunes said as he flies uses his massive strength to lift the throne along with Figgy Pudding inside it and carries him to the palace balcony.
I watched while that steroid inducing pegasus carried that tented throne up in the air into the palace balcony while finishing my pancakes and strawberry short cake. "Now that I met you time to meet you face to face." I said smirking as I stared at the palace and then looked back to see Skarr looking directly at me. "Wait did he see me?" I said freaked out, but I didn't show it so I just act casual and picked up the gems and started to the try to climb back down "Just act casual.". He soon headed straight for me and I yelled "Oh crap!" and immediately jumped off and used the clothes line to descend my fall and headed around the corner. He followed me around the corner and lost me as he looks around trying to find me I was standing in plain sight as I had my head through a wanted poster of me. Skarr wasn't able to see me as he headed back to the elephant. "Phew, idiot" I said with a smirk as I wiped my forehead surprised that it worked. Now that I have a better look at the palace when it was open, I believe that I can find my way to sneak into the palace. "Better get some rest, cause I am sneaking into that palace." I said with assurance that I can do it due to my history of sneaking in to my dad's castle which was impossible to sneak in. I headed back into the ruins avoid detection with a full stomach as I climbed to my spot and slept early, but now I sleep happy knowing that I was able to turn the tables to my favors. Night fall fell across the peaceful Saddle Arabian as the stars were shining, the crescent moon was clear as day and quietness of the night. I awoken feeling cold which I expected to so that i will wake up easier. "*yawn* alright let's do this. "Before I go let me taste these Arabian chocolate." I said while taking a large bite of the Arabian chocolate piece I bought with the gems I collected from the festival, "Wow That's good!.". " Lets do this!" I said with a serious look as I wipe the chocolate of my face and decided not to wear the white rob to avoid detection. I ran into the Arabian night clinging to the shadows as I work my way to the palace wall. Their were little to no other ponies around at night only vendors sleeping out at night protecting their stand and SASF patrolling the town looking for trouble. I was that trouble. I managed to avoid being seen as I worked my towards the wall. I have reached the enormous white wall which was a lot larger up close then I thought. I hid in the alley looking at the palace wall's look-out point to see some SASF watching the city. "Dang this wall is huge! How am I get gonna get up their?" I asked looking up awe at the massiveness of this wall. I rushed at wall trying to run up it, but I feel hard just halfway up their and crashed into the ground, before rolling back into the dark alley avoid detection. "OK can't run up it and it will take forever to climb it, before these stupid pegasus sees me." I said recovering from the fall. I spent my time thinking on how to get up this stupid wall, and I am drawing a blank until my sword started to glow. "Huh what's going on with this thing?" I said as I pulled it out of the sheathe and started to stare at it, as I was mesmerized by its glow. "Are you talking to me?" I asked it as it felt like the sword was communicating with me. The sword taught me a new technique that will help, I had a lot of question, but I didn't have the time or was bother to question it. "Alright, hope this works." I said planting my sword on the ground with my tail and looked around to make sure the coast is clear, before I thrusted my handle sword forward which created a fire streak that runs on the ground until it hits the wall creating a small explosion making me cover my ears. "That was dumb! That was dumb!" I said in a panic as I knew that would attract them to the explosion. I rushed inside the hole that the explosion left and quickly find the nearest bush to hide in. I hear some of the SASF rushing in probably checking the hole that my stupid sword try to make. I peeked out of the bushes as the SASF expect the hole..
"What do you think was that?" one SASF guard asked.
"I'm not sure let's inform Skarr." other SASF suggested.
"I am not waking him up" the guard said kind of afraid and rejecting that idea.
"Fine what about Arid?" the other guard asked.
"Do you wanna ask Arid Dunes?" guard SASF tilted his head asking him if really wanna do that.
"Ew you got a point. Lets just guard this hole till morn." the guard suggested as they decide to sit by the wall and he grabbed some sort of drink from his bag. "Wanna drink?" he asked as he offered his drink to his partner.
"Thanks, I really need this" he said as he shared some of his drink and felt relieved from the taste.
I waited for a while till the guards became a little bit loopy giving me the perfect chance to crawl around the courtyard which seemed unguarded, well except for the two loopy guards. "Now is my chance." I whispered to myself as I crawled on belly, after I rolled my eyes and shook my head, disappointed by these two idiot guards. I crawled under the sitting edge of the fountain and worked my way around it until I reached under bush. Peeking through the bushes to check if the close is clear, before crawling to the wall as I planted my back to wall and slowly walked on two hooves until I reached under the patio. "Now I climb" I said as I quietly climb the Palace Wall by slowly and carefully hoping from one window to another. As I climbed, I begin to wonder why and how my sword was able to communicate with me and if their are more secret moves that this sword can do. I stopped thinking as the spotlight was heading towards me. "Oh no" I said as I quickly dropped down to windows to avoid being detected by that spotlight. I stared at the spotlight, keeping my distance, as I carefully maneuvered away from it until it went the other way. "Phew, finally!" I whispered out loud continuing my climb until I finally reached the balcony. Before I head inside I turned around to get a good luck at the view and It looked so peaceful, beautiful and huge as I felt like I could see forever beyond the sand. "Woah!" I said before I looked up at the crescent moon and the stars in wonder as I said "Wow!". "Now where was I? Oh yeah." I said as I remembered what I was doing and headed inside the room to try to find the Sultan. I carefully walked around the dark room as I approached the bed. To my surprise, it wasn't the Sultan, but a red alicorn filly with a short curl in the top and bottom of her mare and a mark of a weird black eyeliner with a scarlet red eye. "Whose this cutie?" I whispered as I took a few seconds longer to get a look at her body and liking what I see before I cover her up and continue to quietly walk around the dark room and continue my search for the sultan.
"h-hello, who are you?" Scarlet said after a yawn as she sat up rubbing her eye.
My heart stopped as that cute filly just woke up and realized that I was going to get caught soon if I didn't think of something. "um I was randomly picky by by the sultan to stay at his castle for the day." I lied to her as I just came up with it. I turn around to face her, with a smile on my face and said "Get some sleep OK.".
"OK night." she said as slowly laid down on her bed getting snuggled into her bed sheets.
"Good night." I said with a smile as I slowly make my way to the door whichis visible due to light on the other side.
"DADDY SOME COLT IN ARMOR WANTS TO SEE YOU!" she yelled out really loud which not only caught me off guard but alerted every the sultan and the SASF towards me.
IT'S THE WANTED COLT" a guard yelled as I hear hoof steps heading towards this room.
"YOU IDIOT!" I yelled at her pissed of and terrified that I was caught. I ran back towards the balcony, but I was intercepted by the muscular black turbaned covered who had his hoof spread out and floating above the railing.
"Come to me my child." Arid said in a muscular and soft tone in his voice as gets closer to me.
"Um no." I said creeped out in many ways as I ran back inside and broke the door down to only be greet by more guards to my left. "Just great." I said with groan as I wasted no time in grabbing my sword with my tail to prepare for a fight. In a flash, one of the guards launched a fabric of from his turban and knocked my sword of my tail. "Dang it!" I yelled in frustration as I watched my sword slide of into the corner. I hear a bang that came from the window behind me as it swung open revealing it to be Arid Dunes.
"I've Arrived" Arid said with deep and harmonic tone in his voice.
"AHHHHHHHH" I screamed being even more creeped out as Arid Dunes tackles me to the ground, pressing his body on my back making it impossible for me to get free. "Get off you weirdo!" I demanded before two curved sword was held crossed under my head.
"Look who we got here?" a familiar voice was said as the fabric cloth that hit me retracted and revealing none other than Skarr.
"And who are you I am sorry all of you look alike." I replied with a smirk across my face only to for Skarr to push my head down so my neck is right on the swords which I struggled against the force of his hoof.
"Jokes over kid, Now your gonna answer to me?" he said with a serious tone in his voice as he tilts my head to get a direct eye contact with me.
"What is all the commotion?" said a voice coming from behind the wall of the SASF. As the guards quickly made a path for him, it turned out to be the guy I was looking for, Sultan Figgy Pudding. "With all this noise going around you will wake my daughter." Figgy Pudding said a bit upset for this loud noise.
"TOO LATE DAD", she said making Figgy Pudding face hoof.
After removing his hoof from his face he asked as he walks towards me, "What in all of Saddle Arabia is going on.......here?". He stopped to look at me, who is glaring right back at him. "Who do we have now?" Figgy Pudding asked, turning to Skarr.
"This kid is unknown to this kingdom, he assaulted your guards, committed theft and broke into the palace. We believe to that he might be a spy for Salazar Tombstone." Skarr answered as he listed all my crimes as he pointed to me, "My majesty what should we do with the intruder?"
I stared directly add the Sultan eye's expecting the worst possible sentence. I begin to think about what I gave up to pursue this and maybe my dad was right. I couldn't make it on my own and it was much better if I stayed back at Guardania. Now staring back at the Sultan eyes I wonder.
Was it worth it?
