Luna stared at the stallion before her,his gleeful smile betraying his lack of forethought. "twas this display of might truly necessary, Emissary" Luna stared at the soldiers guiding in the airship for landing." Sorry it was the Admirals idea to do the whole dropping in thing" Sen said shifting his eyes between the two princesses.
"It was impressive but you could have used the docks over there." Celestia said pointing at the airdocks with her wing. Sen brushed off the recommendation by saying "Real friends tend to drop in on each other." A sky blue mare galloped up to the prince. "What was that Sen." the scientist said while knocking him in the back of his head. Luna giggles with joy At least somepony is keeping him in check.
"Ingot forge you highnesses, I am the technological adviser of the Sumareian empire." she said bowing to the princesses. Luna placed he hoof on the unicorns shoulder prompting her to rise. "Lets head inside shall we." Celestia said as she saw her guards relax a little bit. Sen paused " Bronze eagle this is songbird we are happy go lucky I repeat happy go lucky." Luna turned to the stallion with a look of confusion until he saw what she guessed was some form of communications device.
Celestia lead the party to the grand hall where the anthology of Equestria was displayed on stain glass windows he saw a image of six ponies turning a horrific creature to stone.Sen pondered what the creature was.
Luna asked the foreigner " has thow seen this creature?" Sen still looking at the window "No but I cant help but feel that it is a evil thing." Celestia turned to the two royals " He's not evil just really annoying." she said still headed to the feast hall.
Sen stood in awe at the spread of food before him. Why don't they just call this the land of cakes.Sen stared at the variety of sugary foods.
"Eat up it must have been a long trip." Celestia said with a smile noticing the awe in her guests. Sen sat down and simply marveled at the number of colors, the only time he saw this many colors was on the battlefield.he turned to his friend who was nibbling at what he believed was a apple turn over.
"Cider sir?" asked a unicorn mare snapping Sen out of his awe "Oh yes please." the golden liquid filled his cup. the smell of fresh apples wafting into his nose. he put his mouth to the cup it warmed his stomach with its sickly sweet taste."Can I get some more cider over here" as the meal progressed three bottles of empty cider stood in front of the intoxicated pony. " and thats when I shaid thats no zebra." Sen said as he started to laugh drunkenly at the two princesses.
Luna nudged her sister "This must be put to an end sister". just then Sen shouted out "Tempest get over here you.. you.. silly mare you" The gray pegisi stood at the door and looked at her prince Not even Five hours and hes already hammered. Tempest then apologetically nodded to the princesses, as she went to pick her prince up and take his back to the ship."Where are we going Tempest the party just started." Sen cried out with a drunken smile on his face.
"Well that was a good exercise in modern politics wasn't it Luna?" luna stared at the spot where the Emissary was sitting "Such a foal, that one is." Luna said to her sister.
As Sen was dropped on his bed he fell instantly into sleep. The scenes war coming to him.
"Sir the walls are breached" crackled the radio on his side "Good make sure those Zebras don't reinforce the gap." Sen looked out onto the city. his armies had secured most of Neighrobi and had finally breached the palace defenses. Just as victory was assured for his army the sky blackened and a menacing cackle clawed into Sen's mind "Try as you might prince you will never find me you are too weak" said a voice that sounded like numerous ponies speaking at once.
Sen opened his eyes "Why is it so bright... Shadow can you fix this for me." the room suddenly darkened as Sen sat up in his bed his head split from the hum of the ventilation systems only made his headache worse. The door to his room opened with a loud whine "So your awake." Tempest stood at the door staring at her weakened prince a sinister smile crossed her face. "No dont do that." Sen begged as she kicked the door and turned on the lights "What I can't hear you." She shouted at the top of her lungs. Sen fell to the floor trying to cover his ears. "Why?" Sen called out from the pain. "Know your enemy." she said flapping her left wing. "Oh come on that was just a friendly sparing match."Sen groaned at the vindictive mare as she marched to the window. "Say your sorry for humiliating me."Sen stared right at her "You wouldn't." as soon as he uttered that sentence she opened the window."Ahhhh..... Buck you, you monster." Sen screamed as he rolled on the floor blinded by the light. "Have a nice day my lord." Tempest said curtly as she joyfully skipped out of the room.
Sen groggily put on his armor its worn red paint showing the scratches and dents he's worn this armor since he became a officer in the Imperial army.he threw his mothers black sash around his neck wearing it as a scarf.
Canterlot was a buzz with activity as Sen couldnt help but noticed a large number of royal gaurd amongst the crowds maintaining order."Hey." Sen jumped as his childhood friend bumped him in the side."Hey" Sen replied weakly.Ingot looked around and pulled Sen towards the docks "Check out the Embassy." she squealed excitedly.
the Sumareian embassy was exactly what he expected it looked like a smaller version of the palace in Sumareia."You got to hand it to these Equestrians they can build a building lickity split." said Tempest walking up from behind. the three ponies headed inside it was a seen of organized chaos as soldiers moved trunks to their respective offices and rooms. "We got permission for the garrison?"Sen asked the military officer. "Yes we did we are to have no more then seventy ponies here however." Sen looked quizically "How many do we currently have here?". Tempest replied "Only forty as of now sir."
Sen entered his office to find princess Luna staring at a map of Sumareia. "Hello Emissary I must ask when did your nation capture Neighrobi?" the princess turned to Sen, "Actually I was the one who conquered the city seven years ago."Luna looked at the prince with indifference, "I get the feeling you don't like me princess." Sen said." You take what it means to be a noble and treat it as a joke." She said turning to look at the armored prince."Princess if I must be blunt, you were a thousand year absentee, the politics in the world have changed. we came here because Equestria asked us to come, hay just a few weeks ago Canterlot was invaded by Changlings where were you great and mighty Luna." The princess took pause at this.She knew it was true and that was the part that annoyed her.Sen sighed in resignation " My apologies your majesty." Luna looked at the large earth stallion and simply left the room.
