Playing stupid with their god-queen for a few hours had probably been one of my most fun ideas. As soon as she walked in I felt I needed to play stupid with her knowing Horsian and everything. With the questions that she had asked of me, I was able to easily manipulate them, using technicalities. As the time went by the pseudo smile that she was baring was slowly turning into a frown.
After a long boring talk with the sun goddess Celestia. I learned of this land named Equestria, and that it was four thousand years since the horses were last seen. That the ponies had become more accepting towards all. The old kingdom had disappeared, due to a crazy evil pony. That only proved that they hadn’t changed from what I learned from Xanther. I learned that the goddesses personally took care of that Tarkove. While all I gave her were lies, of how we destroy all things we live. Mainly that we had become owners of all of the forest. That we controlled what happened in the forest, and that nothing happens without our okay. Which was a really good idea, due to the fact that it interested the sun goddess, and as soon as she translated to this purple thing, purple became really curious.
Now all I need is for them to want to see it in action, and then I can make my escape towards home.
The only truthful thing that I had given to purple was the significance of the necklace and that it was what bonded me to my family. Then it flashed black and I felt a cold feeling right in my core, as I felt someone pass away. Someone very close to my heart. Mother.
Tears going through my heart as if a thousand bees were flying straight into it. My eyes were starting to tear up as I felt a hoof started rubbing mine. Celestia said something, but I was in too much shock that I just laid there and blocked out everything. I felt numb. Almost as numb as when the winter frost came.
When I came to, it was dark. A single light had been turned on. I took a quick look around the room to see that Purple was still here shuffling through some papers. It seemed that Celestia had left while I was asleep. After shuffling trying to escape once again, I could feel that the locks had become looser than I had remembered. After a minute I had been able to escape. I quietly got out of the bed and snuck towards the door. Taking one last look she seemed far too distracted to even pay attention to her surroundings.
I opened and shut the door. Once again into the eerily empty hallway. Only this time I wasn’t stabbed by a metal stick.
I’m not going to fall asleep like before. Now to find the exit to this horrid place and get home.
I took a right and started trotting until I found a sign that looked like steps. Taking that as my queue I took it to an even smaller corridor of steps. I silently cheered my victory and the fact that I would be home in an hour at best. I found another clear crystal wall and took it. My stomach dropped at the sound of an alarm going off somewhere. I bolted it to the right away from the town. As I got further away from the town I felt as if I was getting closer to the kingdom. It felt as if someone was leading me by the hoof. A warm presence had come over me.
I began running and reached the edge of town. In the distance I could see a giant gated forest. The closer I got to the gated forest, I felt as if I had been here before, but quickly dismissed it because, up till now I had never been outside of our home. The feeling felt burning hot as I approached an opening in the gateway.
I might as well rest in the forest until morning. It is gated, so it must belong to someone right?
Trotting through the gates I went into the forest and found a hole in one of the tree bottoms and got myself comfortable.
I will be with you tomorrow Xanthor I thought before going to bed.
Xanther
After getting down to the city I immediately hid in the shadows to do some scouting. I see ponies everywhere. They all have these freaky deaky creepy smiles on them. They all seem to have the same mark on their backside. Taking another look around he sees that a light blue unicorn with a brown had noticed him. Said unicorn had gained an even bigger smile, that seemed impossible for any being to have.
Need to hide, need to hide. I thought as I ran towards the other edge of the town. I found some caves and ran into them. Hoping that the creepy pony had stayed there until the night circle was at its highest.
