I lightly jumped off my balcony and landed safely on the ground below. I proceeded to run towards the crash site of the 'light'. I had to avoid night patrols, because the weapon is too dangerous to wield. So, I wouldn't want anyon--pony, to know about this. My destination is far, as it landed outside of the city, and Canterlot is big. So sneaking out undetected would be hard. But then again, I've got powers on my side, although low-leveled, they're still handy.
As I reached the city's outskirts, I relaxed a bit and-
"What are you doing?" A Unicorn guard whom I did not notice asked me.
"Uhh, nothing," I answered.
"Hmm, an unknown guest? Sneaking out at night? And says nothing when somepony is on to them and asks them?" He said and continued sarcastically, "What do you plan to do to Equestria, you spy?!" He then chuckled and walked closer towards me.
"Seriously though, what are you doing?" He asked me again.
"Well, if you want to know, you must keep it a secret alright?" I answered truthfully this time. He nodded reassuringly, "I'm going out of the city to investigate a silver light that crashed somewhere out there."
"Oh, then you need an escort," He said.
"Why?"
"To avoid suspicion from other night patrols of course."
"I see."
After that, we both went to the crash site and noticed a blink in the distance. I ran up to it and he followed, when I got there, a small crater surrounded the light. It was different here, the light isn't blinking when seen closely. Even my friend had to shield his eyes from the bright silver light which, didn't seem to bother me at all. Instead, I enjoyed looking at it. I reached out my arm and held the top and the light brightens up causing my escort to shut his eyes. The light soon faded, revealing my self-made sword.
I lift it up and examined it, its' hilt was a weird design, it had a cover for the user's knuckle, which is useful when an enemy is too close. The blade however, is shaped like a rapier's, because back then, I was more into skewering. The guard looked at it and levitated it with his magic. I walked towards the other and lifted it up. I summoned a sheet out of thin air and took the other one.
"We need to go," I said as I rolled up the swords in the sheet.
"Why?" He asked.
"Some might have seen that light and sooner or later, they're going to investigate it," I explained.
"Oh," He nodded in understanding.
And with that, we both ran back to the city.
We finally reached back at Canterlot and my sword are safely kept inside the sheet, I turned towards my unexpected friend and reached out my hand to expect a hand/hoof shake.
"Thank you for your company back there-"
"It's Stealth Strike and you're welcome," He said and took my hand with both his hooves and shook it gently.
"Ah, well better get going then."
He nodded and I ran back towards the castle, and remained undetected.
What I remained oblivious to was that there was a third unwelcome company, a hidden spy whom I didn't detect. The figure of said spy flashed in my mind and left me dumbfounded. I looked back out and slapped myself.
