//------------------------------// // Introductions // Story: A Wandering Soul // by An0nym0us Br0ny //------------------------------// Sevron sat in the courtyard just outside the Castle limits. A few guards were posted there to keep an eye on him as Celestia mustered the ponies she wished for him to meet. He sat for about 20 minutes, but quickly lost time, as he fought boredom. Finally, after a seeming eternity, Celestia strode out with 8 ponies for him to meet. And of course, they were all a little bit jumpy, but were able to contain themselves. Celestia made each one step up like a child and announce what they provided for the army. The first up, was Rainbow Dash, a loyal flyer who commanded the 32nd-Air Battalion. Her current rank, was Colonel Chief Commander for the whole Air Force part of the army. Next up, was Applejack, an honest and strong leader who commanded most squads in the battlefield. Her current rank, was Lieutenant Colonel. After her, came Twilight Sparkle. She worked magic with technology and was able to hack just about anything. On some occasions, she may act as an intel manager, for soldiers out on the battlefield. Since she was just about the equal a technician, she had no ranking, for it was not needed. After, came Fluttershy, a timid, and kind soul who commandeered rescue squads for escorting civilians and V.I.P's. Her current rank was Lieutenant Gunnery. Pinkie Pie came up fifth, she was generally a psychologist for troopers who may, or may not be loosing their minds. And, as you guessed, she had no ranking either. Then came rarity, she was technically the Mare who took care of Armor and Weaponry for new soldiers, and even repaired them on occasion. She had no rank either, since she only stocked things. Finally, then came Luna and Cadence, they announced that they were the apparent Co. Commanders, Luna of the Air Force, and Cadence of the Infantry. And finally, after all those shenanigans, they were done and over with, since Sevron was now officially part of the army they had a very brief conference. "Alright, now, to begin we know two things. One, is that the Griffon army plans to attack one of our most important bases. Two, is that we have the element of surprise. They do not yet know that we have Sevron in the army, so, if we attack quickly and swiftly they won't know what hit 'em." Celestia surmised. Everyone nodded in approval except Sevron, who simply asked, "Where will we meet?" Since nopony else but Celestia had heard him speak, surprise lit up all over their faces. "I will explain at a different time, we do not have the time." Celestia inhaled, "We will meet about 3 clicks away from the base and safely wait until they arrive, then, we will charge on them with all force." Again, everyone nodded in approval. Even Sevron. As they all went their separate ways, they had a compelling feeling that they might actually succeed, with the plan. And that, drove them to go on.
