Still Christmas Time!! · 5:21pm Dec 23rd, 2013
Well, just a quick update from my previous blog post.
Forgot to mention that there's already another surprise in store for Chapter 30 of Diprosopus. A very, very short snippet of it is at the very end of this, after the main course.
The third Dashie & Tassee story, Dashing Through The Stroke, is now pending for approval and right on time! It'll probably be up in a few minutes (hopefully) so get ready!! Damn, the mods are extra quick today... here's the link!
Alright, back to Diprosopus.
Extra short snippet below! Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!
"A bit of fresh air, Twilight?" he asked.
"It may do you good."Twilight could only comply, even though deep in her heart she knew there was something else; something which the Masque is not telling her; something very important. She had a small hunch on what it was, though she could not be so sure. All she could do now was to pretend as the fool.
Every thought of that was kicked to the darkest corners of her brain when she saw the majestic sight that beholds her eyes. They were standing on a metal-plated balcony of some sort of tower, she presumed, which overlooked the brilliance of Canterlot's suburbs. Instead of the elaborate architecture of the upper districts, all she could see were thatched houses and brick apartments, with pillars of smoke billowing from a chimney or two and streaking across the orange dusk sky. The higher society lavished further away, with the palace barely visible in the horizon, reminding her of the length of her journey through the sewers once again."Canterlot looks amazing in the sunset..."
"As always, Twilight."
"I never imagined Canterlot to be this big," she admitted, placing two hooves onto the iron railing surrounding the platform.
"I always thought it was as large as what I saw, with all those royal buildings and lakes and statues... it's like this place never existed to me before I met you. All these ponies... all this life... it was almost as if somepony wanted to hide them from the rest of Equestria...""There are some things worth finding out about," the Masque said, drinking the last of his wine.
"Such was the suburbs. A magical place, really. So miserable and so desperate, yet however frail it may be, the spirit of hope strangely still lingers within the ponies living here. It was one of the reasons why I stole from the upper class; to keep that spirit going. To give them more hope than they have.""So you're just like Robin Hoof, huh?"
"That's what all the colts and fillies call me," he said, chuckling earnestly.
"Ah... perhaps we are the same. Robbing the rich and giving it to the poor... a difficult task to accomplish, really. Very difficult. In fact, I think I admire him more than I resemble him. Think about it: he could save the town with every crime he commits, yet all I could do was shelter children. Perhaps it may be much to you, Twilight, but it would be an impossible feat to surpass for me."
Interesting view into him...
