//------------------------------// // chapter 6 // Story: Talion in Equestria // by Silas5399 //------------------------------// Celestia POV I was being escorted through the city by the wraiths guards to the tower at the back of the city I noticed that the wraith was flying though the air and into the tower Talion's POV "Dammit celestia" I yelled as I landed in my tower "did you really have to come here now" I sighed. "My lord" I heard behind me as I turned my head to see my captain of the guard I created to think for himself so he can defend the city if I am away at the moment. "The princess is nearing the tower should I go meet her at the entrance and escort her in" my captain said. "Yes, me and her have a few thing to discuss" I said as I sat down on my throne. Celestia POV As I approached the tower I noticed one of the was different from the other he was intelligent I knew the other guards were moving armor which was a forgotten art and almost no one except a few remembered me and my sister seeing one of them but even I could not understand the complexity of the enchantments required to create a single one let only a full army. "So your the princess of the forces out side the gate I am not impressed" the guard said. "How can you be so sure" I about that a said with a grin. "My master gave me the power to sense energy if we were to fight we would probably be on the same level but you would not stand a chance against my master" he said opening the door " I was told to escort you inside" he said as he made a gesture for me to follow him. As we walked in the first thing I noticed is a alter in the middle of the room with a shield around it as I looked behind it I saw a throne with the wraith on it. "Now then" the wraith said "would you like to explain your actions today or should I guess" he said as he stood up from his throne. "First I would like to apologize for this misunderstanding" I said to him "Oh really" he said as he continued "you come to my city with a force of 500 armed and ready for combat and you also sent spies to find me don't bother to deny it I have received report of your two scouts the other day" he said with a angry tone in his voice "but I am willing to hear you out" he said with a calmer voice. "Ok the reason is that you are a ring wraith" his angry look returned "the last ring wraith in recorded history was a warlord that nearly took over the world before he disappeared" his look turn to neutral as he asked me a question. "What was his name" he said "Isildur" I said as his eyes widened "do you know him" I said as I readied myself to run if I needed to. "He and I have a history I would rather not say" he said as he glanced at his ring" weren't exactly friends you could say. "What happened between you two" I said. "I killed him" he said "That's impossible ring wraiths can not be killed" I said "Under the circumstances I was able to maybe I can tell you the tale one day but now is not the time or place don't you agree" he said "No I guess it is not but I would like to discuss relations between equestria and um" I said. "Minas Morgul" he said "Yes we would like to hold a peace meeting with other kingdoms as well at the grand galloping gala this year" "Sounds reasonable though I will bring one or two of my guards in case something happens" "Of course all representative of other kingdoms are allowed a few guards when they go to other kingdoms. "So which kingdoms and races should I except to come to this" he said. "The griffins, dragons, minitours, and buffalo" I said to answer his question. "Okay I will make preparations to go to canterlot when is the gala going to happen. "Two months from now I would also like to ask if i could leave someone here as a form of diplomate to negotiate trade" I said as he gave a smile "No need we can settle that now" as he snapped his fingers as a table was table was brought into the room and he sat down "ok I think I already have a idea". "What is it" I said. "Rocks" he said as I gave a look of confusion "are you confused I though you knew about stone and iron golems abilities stone golems are control the earth and plants around them so i will use some of it for building and iron golems are able to absorbed stones and boulders and refine them into various metal and we can give you a percentage of the metals that are produced by the golems and you could also send traders here so they can have a stable income of metals and ores so they can sell them and give me a percentage of the profits they make selling them i am also trying to find a way to create gems as well so they can sell those as well and we could provide jewelry stores with them so we could also discuss trade for those as well as the other things I said" he said to me and i was amazed he came up with this in minuets and it would also bring many traders and reputation to equestria as well as Minas Tirith. "I think that is a perfect idea I can set up roads to this city so they can safely transport the rocks and boulders you requested" I said as i was glad we found common ground so fast. "Also since the everfree is a dangerous place my guards will patrol the roads to keep incidents from happening" he added "I almost forgot I never asked your name" I asked him "It's Talion" he said. "Also i have been meaning to ask you what is that orb in the center of the room" I said pointing to the strange in the center of the room. He frowned " it is a dangerous item if in the wrong hands not for what it can do but the mental strain it can put on someone can drive them insane" my eyes widened " it has the ability to view anything and anyone at any time but i think it is more powerful than that it could even have power we have never seen before". "Then why don't you destroy it" I said with a concerned tone. "It is to valuable imagine the ability to find any criminal in the world in moments and arrest them wherever the might be" he said "But what if someone steal it" I about to fire my magic at it. "See the shield around it is a combination 3 spells the first one will kill any living thing that enterers another one of the, blocks all magic and the last one block all forms of touch wither it be from a object or a living being so no one can go through the first spells is a trap if someone some way around it so it can not be stolen not only that this entire room is enchanted as well so I will know who or what is in here at any time" he said "So it is safe" I said "Yes I think it is time for you to leave it is getting late and I don't want to keep you waiting here'' he said "Yes I have to lower the sun" I said as I walked out of the tower. As I walked out the gate my guards were at the end of the bridge readying to attack before I stopped them. "What do you think you are doing" I yelled at the guards. "Captain Shining armor told us to get ready to attack so we can kill that abomination and I agree with him that thing has no place here and no right to claim this place" the guard said. "Where is captain shining armor" I said. "In his tent planning the attack with the others" he said pointing to the large tent. As I walked over there I could hear them planning "what is the meaning of this" I yelled as l looked at shining armor he was wearing his armor and he had a shield with a star on it. "Princess your alright I thought that abomination imprisoned you we already have a plan of attack to take the city and everyone is prepared" he said. "You will stand down this instant shining armor" I ordered him. He looked shocked and that look turned to anger "But princess that abomination could attack us at any moment and kill thousands of ponys" He argued as the others in the tent nodded their heads in agreement. "You will all stand down this instant or you will all be trailed for treason" I said. "Princess you can't be serious he uses dark magic you know that anyone that uses dark magic is corrupted by it and he commands and army and he has a city that could withstand a month long siege and still stand strong" shining armor said. "And if that happens we will deal with it but now stand down you are officially demoted from captain" I orderd. To say he was shocked was a understatement "now be reasonable princess we don't need to go that far" i of the guards said. "Not only have you ignored my orders you completely disrespected me you are demoted from captain of the guard till further notice we are returning to canterlot now" I said as everyone prepared to leave as shining armor went around the back to speak to a hooded figure Shining armor POV You know why I called here" I said. "Yes you want me to kill someone" the assassin said "Yes the abomination in the tower" I said as I pointed at the tower. "You know the price my services" he said as I handed him the bag of gold I had on my belt. "You know what to do" I said as I headed back to camp to help pack for our return to canterlot. Talion POV "my lord if you are going to meet other leaders I think it would be wise to have a personal guard we have the tower guard but i do not think they will suffice for a meeting like this" my captain said. "Your right I have been meaning to make one but I been busy lately so I will start making them tomorrow I already have a design for them" I said as I went to my room at thee top of the tower to my room it was a plain room with a bed with curtains on it and a table and book shelf with the books from the box i had when i first arrived here their were 38 books in total and I have yet to read them all And as I laid I went to sleep to wake up to a new day.
