Las Pegasus
“Please please please please!!! You must go with my little sister Sweetie Belle to her 1st big show! I will gladly pay you for your time and for making sure she stay’s safe!” Glarin just grumbled as Rarity continued to plead to him. It had been two days.
Two days Rarity had come to Glarin’s new house to ask, no, she was no longer asking. She was begging he go with her little sister to some city down south called Las Pegasus. At first he told her he would think about it, but when one of the guards told him Las Pegasus had become a city full criminal organizations. He declined the offer and also told her not to allow her little sister to go to such a place.
“That’s why I’m asking you to go! You could keep her safe and you could even bring along your little entourage! She needs this so her singing carrier will take off! A well known talent agent came and saw her performance that night you set your beard on fire...” Glarin interrupted Rarity. He had enough of her pleading, and he didn’t want a reminder of how his beard was horribly disfigured a few days ago. If to just get her to shut her mouth he would agree.
“How much were you planning to pay me?” Rarity was elated at this question, it was the 1st time he had asked how much she would pay him. She assumed he had finally agreed to do it.
“Why I would pay you one thousand bits and another thousand on her safe return!” Glarin raised an eyebrow at such a large sum of money, two thousand bits just to keep the little mare safe? Rarity took Glarin’s look of shocked confusion as a sign she was offering too little money.
“I-if two thousand isn’t high enough I will...” Glarin interrupted her with raising his hand
“No no, the two thousand bits is plenty enough. I just uh... Never mind, when was she going to leave?”
“Oh thank you thank you thank you! I’ll send Sweetie Belle with Apple Bloom over later this afternoon with the train tickets! Um how many guards were you going to bring along?”
“Wait, Apple Bloom is going along?”
“Well of course, they are both best friends after all. And well, After what happened to their other friend all those years ago, they don’t like to be apart for very long. But as I was saying, how many guards were you going to bring along?”
“Oh hrm, just one of em, Spike Actually.”
“J-just you and Spike? Are you sure?” asked Rarity as she raised an eyebrow.
“I’m positive yeah, now when are we leaving exactly?”
“Why tomorrow morning of course! I’ll have Sweetie spend the night at your house and I’m sure Apple Bloom will as well, that way you can all head straight to the train after breakfast!”
“Well alright, if that makes it easier for you. I'll need to go let Spike know we’re going on a special mission.” with that Rarity trotted away quite happily with Glarin closing his large stone door behind him and headed down some stairs into the basement.
It was quite a huge basement, it was a side passage away from the main hall and with the addition of the lay lines he had a power source for lights as well. He found a unicorn that would hook everything up for him the day before and was able to get most of the lights installed already. That unicorn worked fast.
The magic lights were much better than using torches and he had no idea how to make runes of light like a Rune-Shaper would.
After Glarin finished packing a bag he went upstairs and headed outside to the Library. He had given everyone the day off today in celebration of his home being 90% complete. He got running water this morning, a big plus. Turns out the lay lines had some kind of magical water running through them at all times.
He had also finally remembered most of the roads around ponyville, he only got lost some times now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glarin was returning back to his humble abode with Spike when they saw Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom sitting outside the front door with Applejack. Glarin just waved at them while Spike did the same.
“So ya’ll are taking my little sis and Sweetie Belle to Las Pegasus to do a show?”
“We sure are Applejack.” said Spike with a smile on his face as he waved. Glarin simply grunted in confirmation.
“I’ve been reading the news, I know what that towns been like the past few years, gangs popping up everywhere with dirty guards doing nothing about it and the such. I even heard a rumor that the guards are in league with em! I want you ta promise me you’ll bring em back to us safe N’ sound.” Glarin just nodded his head
“Applejack, you have my word as a dwarf I’ll bring em back to you safe N’ sound. I’ll treat em the way I would my own sisters. I promise on my beard that I'll return them to you or Rarity.” Applejack smiled at that with a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. I’m glad you decided to go Glarin. This will really help Sweetie Belle get her singing career up off the ground. You gotta start big someplace, I just wish it wasn’t in Las Pegasus.”
“Don’t you worry your pretty little head Applejack, Spike and I are in the same mine cart with em.” With a smile Applejack left back toward the apple farm. If there was one thing she liked about Glarin. It was that he always told the truth and kept to his word.
“So what are we gonna do 1st? I can’t wait to see the inside of your new house!” Squeaked Sweetie Belle. How she could sing without adding in that squeak confused him.
“Well, I dunno what we're gonna do... Whatever you want I guess. We still have a few hours before it gets dark and all.” When Glarin opened the door everyone noticed that the lights were rather dim.
“Why are your lights so dim Glarin? This place doesn’t look big enough for you to have power problems...”
“Yeah the first floor is rather small, lets head down to the main hallway. I’ll show you to your rooms and then I guess we can figure out what to do in order to pass the time.” Glarin went a little deeper into the house and opened a door that led to a large staircase.
As they descended Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle looked around the massive room they entered into. It was lit up with a large amount of lights and had different doors lining its walls. As they followed him in total awe Glarin pointed over to their left.
“Your rooms are on this side, the doors at the end of the hallway lead to the gym and the other leads to the mine, the right and left door respectfully. On the right side is the bunk houses for the guards and other trainees. I’m assuming Princess Celestia and Princess Luna will send more my way once they see how their guards look.”
“This place is huge!” shouted Sweetie Belle as she looked around.
“It sure is big, I never expected it to be so big when the outside looks so small. I guess that makes sense though since most of this is underground.” Spike just crossed his arms.
“Yeah well, I knew how big it was from the beginning when I helped build it.”
“I did my share of work once my ribs were set in place. So don’t go taking all the credit for it lad.”
Once everyone was settled in, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle turned to each other for ideas on what to do for entertainment. Spike offered they play a board game while Glarin suggested using his gym equipment, as that is what he had been doing to pass the time when he had nothing else to do.
They opted for the board game.
“Aha! You landed on my property! You owe me...” Apple Bloom picked up the property card and looked through it. “...246 bits Glarin!” Glarin just grumbled as he picked up a hand full of bills.
“I hate this board game called Ponopoly. When did I even get this game?” said Glarin as he forked over the game money to Apple Bloom.
“I believe Twilight gave it to you along with all those books to help you learn Equestrian.”
“Bah, I don’t need to learn how to read your goblin scratch language. I’ve been fine so far.” Sweetie Belle just raised an eyebrow.
“Thats why you keep handing the cards over to Spike! Are you also just handing us more than we need because you can’t read the numbers too?” Glarin just grumbled as he handed the dice over to Spike so he could roll.
“No, I’m just being generous...” said Glarin as he crossed his arms. Spike jsut chuckled as he looked over at Glarin.
“Hey Glarin, you mind if I ask a question?” Glarin raised an eyebrow.
“Not at all lad. Ask away.”
“Well I remember you saying that when you enter into a fury, you lose the use of your body. What did you mean by that exactly?” Glarin grunted as he cleared his throat.
“Were you not listening when I told this to Twilight some time ago? Well not only do the muscles break and tear, but you lose the use of your senses the longer or more often you enter it. Taste disappears, sense of touch dulls, and sounds become muffled. The worst of it is when it begins to take your eyes. The light begins to fade and everything takes on a shadowy aspect. In the end you could end up in a permanent world of darkness.”
“T-that can actually happen?” asked Apple Bloom as she listened
“It can and has happened, but most Berserkers die on the field of battle before that happens. No ones reached the point of no return and lived long to tell of it, because if they have it was on the battle field.”
“How do you prevent something like that?”
“Prevent? Well, you can slow it down. My old teacher told me those that enter a fury without a guiding light fall faster than those without a light to guide them through the darkness.”
“A guiding light? Like what?”
“Hrmm, like something to focus on, something to protect. A priest of Berronar actually provides a good beacon in the darkness for us. A few normally project a holy light from the cities in times of war.”
Spike just nodded his head as he thought about that while they continued to play the board game well into the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The morning went by rather quickly after breakfast. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle complained about the beds being made of rock. To which Glarin just shrugged with Spike laughing.
The train ride itself was also uneventful. Absolutely nothing happened.
And Glarin hoped it would stay that way. Hopefully the criminal scum he had heard about in Las Pegasus would pay them no mind and this would be a simple job with just him keeping watch over the two mares with Spike.
When they arrived at the Las Pegasus train station Glarin was surprised and a little in awe about all of the brightly colored and glowing lights and signs in the city. Many of the buildings were also so high he couldn’t see the tops of them once he got close to them.
“So this is Las Pegasus. I figured a city filled with criminal scum would be more on the down low.”
“Well the criminals aren’t really out in the open Glarin. Las Pegasus is a city full of gambling and illegal activities that are kept on the down low, as Twilight says. Cause what happens in Las Pegasus, stays in Las Pegasus... except metritis or arteritis, that sticks with you for life.”
“What in blazes are those?”
“Venereal Diseases.”
“And a Venereal is?”
“Well its not a thing its um...” Spike was starting to become flustered with answering when Sweetie Belle just blurted it out.
“Hes just using a fancy word for sex.” Glarin lightly pounded his fist into his open left hand as he understood it. Then became confused again.
“Wait, too much sex can make you sick? What kind of horrible place is this?!” Sweetie Belle just face hoofed while Apple Bloom laughed
“As long as both parties make sure to keep clean its not much of a problem. Applejack told me all about that stuff a few years ago.”
“Yeah Rarity told me pretty much everything as well.” Glarin just looked between the two of them as they continued to talk, then glanced over at Spike. Spike just got flustered again
“Twilight told me about some stuff, but uh, it was really awkward... apparently dragons develop differently from ponies and she was stumped on a few things.” Glarin just scoffed
“Well a course you develop differently! You’re a giant fire breathing lizard! A dragon! Why I wouldn’t be surprised if you had two or three of em!”
“Well actually...” Glarin threw up both hands to keep him from speaking more while Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom ended their conversation to try and hear the rest of what Spike had to say.
“Enough Lad! I don’t need to know. Lets just get to where we need to go.” Glarin looked over to Sweetie Belle who took a piece of paper out from her saddle bag and looked it over.
“Lets see, The hotel were looking for is called the Sheltered Mare. Its located on the opposite end of Las Pegasus from the train station.” Glarin looked out ahead of him and grunted.
“So if we walk straight long enough, well find it...”
“Or, Or Glarin, we could get a taxi. That way we don’t have to walk.” Suggested Apple Bloom.
“Money shouldn’t be a problem while we’re here. Rarity already set up a hotel room for us and everything along with some bits to pay for food and taxi’s.”
“Wow really?” said Apple Bloom, Sweetie just nodded her head with a big grin on her face.
“My sister is really hoping this gets my singing career off the ground. She was saying I could one day be singing up on stages like Sapphire Shores. And then she could design dresses and costumes for me to wear!”
“Wow thas really excitin! Good thing that talent agent was in town when he saw you perform Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle nodded excitedly with both of them rushing off together toward the street so they could hail a taxi. Glarin just looked over to Spike.
“Keep your eyes peeled lad. Let us pray to Moradin that this goes as smoothly as the two lasses hope it will.” Spike just walked out after them as he talked to Glarin.
“Yeah well. I’m sure those news ponies exaggerate things just to get more views or whatever. I seriously doubt things are as bad they say it is. I mean, if ponies were kidnaped everyday and sent into slavery like they said, I’m sure the Princesses would of done something about it by now.” They could see Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom waving their hooves up in the air trying to get the attention of one of those yellow carts.
“I hope you’re right lad. What about those rumors of the dirty guards who even help the criminals?” a rather large yellow Cart pulled up along side the road
“Just lies made up by the media. There’s no way the Solar guard would be entirely corrupt like that. I mean, Im sure there’s a few, but its not like all of them are like that.” Glarin looked over at the pony who was pulling the taxi. He had a beard. So he was trustworthy in Glarins book.
“Where y’all headed to?”
“The four of us are headed to the Sheltered Mare!” The taxi driver gave a bit of a shudder that caused Glarin to raise an eyebrow.
“Are you sure? I can suggest much nicer places to stay. Take the Dancing Stallion for example. Plenty of nice folk in that area.”
“No, just take us to the Sheltered Mare please. I’m doing my first big show there tomorrow!” the Stallion gave a sigh.
“Alright then. Hop in...” the Taxi Driver looked at Spike and Glarin for a second then raised an eyebrow. “... are you two with these young mares here?” Glarin grunted while Spike replied with a simple yes. As Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were distracted with putting all of their bags inside, the Taxi driver leaned over and almost whispered to them
“Keep an eye on ‘em at all times over there. Most of the Marenapping happens on that side a town.” Glarin raised an eyebrow while Spike just widened his eyes.
“Are you serious dude?”
“Dead serious. That side of town is bad news. I don’t like staying in it for long.” Glarin cursed under his breath while Spike just looked at him.
“Hey, are one of you gonna help us or what? Come put those new muscles of yours to work Spike!” Spike just looked down to Glarin and nodded his head, then went over to help.
“Don’t you worry about a thing Lad. Me and the dragon will take good care of them. Were acting as body guards. Names Glarin of the dwarves by the way.” The taxi driver looked to be in thought for a moment before gaining a smile on his face.
“The Glarin? I heard about you. Oh boy, that’s good then. I’m sure nothing bad will happen with you around then. Well hop on in, I’ll get you guys there in a jiffy.” and with that everyone got into the taxi and he took them to the Sheltered Mare.
Along the way they passed by so many signs and advertisements it was hard to ignore them. Many of them were so eye poppingly bright and colorful your eyes were drawn to them whether you wanted to look at them or not.
After about 30 minutes of fast paced traffic filled traveling inside the taxi, they arrived at the Sheltered Mare. He stopped just in front of the entrance and let them all off.
“Good luck during your first show! I’ll make this ride on the house for a future star! Just uh, stay safe ok?” Sweetie Belle just nodded her head with enthusiasm at him while everyone else unloaded the taxi. Once it was empty he quickly went down the road and was out of sight.
Thinking nothing of it, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom began heading to the front door when a dog about the size of Winona came up to them and began to happily yip wagging its tail.
“How cute!” Said Sweetie and Bloom as they began to pet the dog, much to its enjoyment. Afterwards they waved goodby to it and went inside.
“I wonder who’s dog that was...” they walked toward what they assumed to be the front desk.
Glarin and Spike were looking around the lobby. It seemed to have many balconies and was extremely fancy looking. Golden pillars lined the walls with expensive looking art between the pillars. They arrived at the front desk with a very pretty looking mare behind the counter.
“Excuse me! My name is Sweetie Belle and a talent agent by the name of Keen Eye told me to go here. He said everything would be set up for a show I would perform for tomorrow. Also my older sister Rarity contacted this place in advance about booking a room for me and my friends.” Sweetie moved a hoof behind her to point out Apple Bloom, Glarin and Spike.
“Sweetie Belle was it? Let me check the records here, just a moment.” The mare turned around and began looking through some files until she pulled one out.
“Ah yes, Sweetie Belle, your sister Rarity did indeed pay for a room in advance. The manager was also informed of your arrival and he went ahead and upgraded your room to a pent house suite. Apparently you impressed Keen Eye enough to put in a very good word for you.” She put several room keys up on the counter and pushed them forward.
“Wow a pent house suite!? Really? Just for us?!” Sweetie gained a huge grin upon her face.
“Indeed, our Manager Himmel Krieger always enjoys giving new up coming singers the best. He hopes to bring more fame to the hotel once they become famous. Since this will be your first major show, I presume?” Sweetie just nodded her head.
“Excellent, be sure to remember where you got your big break ok? Your room is up on the 35th floor.” Sweetie swiped up the keys in her magic and levitated a key to everyone.
“Wow a pent house suite on the 35th floor? Thas amazing Sweetie Belle!” Glarin was the last to get a key and grunted as they headed toward the elevators.
“Sounds fishy to me.” Glarin was just looking at the key in his hand
“Oh I’m sure he does that with all the new up coming stars! You heard what she said right? That talent agent Keen Eye put in a good word for me!”
“That doesn’t sound like any pony name I’ve heard before though.” Spike spoke up next
“Sounds like a Griffin name to me. They always did have fancy sounding names like that. Griffins have names similar to ponies. Except its mostly done with their native tongue instead of equish. I know a little bit, and I think Himmel meant sky. I can’t remember what Krieger was though. I’m sure Twilight would know.”
“Well it doesn’t matter what he is. I just don’t like the sound of it. This place is giving me a weird feeling.”
“Oh come on Sir Glarin, lighten up a bit. Lets just go up to our room and unwind. My show starts tomorrow so we can have a bit of fun today!”
And with that Glarin kept silent as he followed behind the group keeping a close eye on everything around him. Everything seemed normal enough. No one was watching them and was keeping about their own business it seemed. On the way to the elevators they passed by a room with rather large doors with some manner of loud drum beats and other sounds that Glarin couldn’t identify coming from behind it. Apple Bloom noticed him looking at it and decided to tell him what it was.
“This is the theater Glarin, the sign above says so. Mah guess is this place is where Sweetie Belle is gonna perform at.” Sweetie nodded her head again.
“Most likely, I didn’t see anything else like a theater or ball room besides this one as we walked around.” When they reached the elevator they saw a pony wearing a uniform inside standing by a lever.
“Hello and welcome to the Sheltered Mare Elevator, what floor is your room on?”
“The 35th floor please!” The pony in the red suite nodded his head and pulled the lever, causing them to quickly ascend the floors and rise to the top. Once they got to the 35th floor the pony tipped his hat and bid them good day as they left. They traveled to their room and opened the door revealing a rather large room. The pent house suite had its own kitchen and 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. The living room area was rather big as well with two couches and several odd looking tables. Apple Bloom looked at the table curiously.
“What an odd lookin table. Ya think its some kinda fancy one?” Spike looked at it as well, while Sweetie traveled to one of the bedrooms.
“I would have to say yes, it doesn’t look very practical and it also looks like it can fold up, or fold out I’m not sure...”
“Forget the table guys! Look at this bed!” While Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Spike were exploring the room. So was Glarin.
He was carefully scanning the walls and a few of the walls didn’t seem as flush as other places. Maybe it was because of bad construction or something else entirely, he wasn’t sure. If the walls were made of stone he could be 100 percent sure of himself. The room also had a faint magical feeling to it. He couldn’t pin point it, but it was there. He didn’t like this place at all. The room felt, wrong, to his dwarven intuition. A knock came upon the door prompting Glarin to stop inspecting the wall and answer it. He opened it to find a Green Stallion with a few other ponies behind him.
“Can I help you?” said Glarin with a raised eyebrow.
“Ah uh, yes I hope so. You see we were told by Mr. Kreiger that a new tenet would be staying up on this floor for the next few days. As the newly hired security team, we thought we would get a look at the new tenets. Just so if we see any suspicious characters we can take care of them. You see we’ve had problems in the past with disappearances. So Mr. Kreiger hired extra security on the floors with his most valued guests.” Glarin just kept looking at them unmoving until he grunted.
“Security huh? Where’s your uniforms then?” Before the pony in question could respond, Spike showed up.
“Who are these guys?” Spike crossed his arms as he looked out to them. Many of the ponies slightly stepped back when Spike came into view.
“They say they’re extra security hired to help keep the important guests safe.” Spike raised an eyebrow.
“But none of them have uniforms.” The green Stallion in the front chuckled.
“Thats because Mr. Krieger didn’t want us standing out. Try to blend in and look like guests he said. He hopes we can catch who ever is responsible for the recent string of Marenappings. After all, its bad for business if ponies keep disappearing around your place of business.” Spike nodded his head in agreement.
“I guess that makes sense. So you just came by to do what exactly?”
“Just to see the new tenets of the floor so that we know who is and who isn’t supposed to be on this floor, That’s all.” As he finished speaking Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle came to the door as well.
“Oh, who are these guys?” The stallions looked past Glarin and Spike and smiled at the two mares.
“Ah, were just the security for this floor miss. Also I have a message for Sweetie Belle...”
“Oh, that’s me!” said Sweetie Belle as she moved to the front.
“...yes well, your show starts at 1PM in the theater on the first floor tomorrow. Just head backstage around noon and the stage hands will help set you up before you go on. Well, that’s pretty much all we came to do. Enjoy your stay.” with that, they all nodded their heads and left.
Glarin just watched them leave down the hall before closing the door and locking it.
“I don’t trust em. His smile was off. And I didn’t like the looks they gave the two of you.”
“Stop acting like an overprotective big brother. I’m sure its not everyday they get to see a rising star and her friends. Let alone a dwarf and a Dragon. I’m sure they were just shocked.”
“Yeah thas right. Dragons still aren’t a very common sight in Equestria. An' Ah’m sure you're still a very new thing for many to see Glarin. Didn’t you see the stares ponies were giving ya as we walked through the lobby?”
“No, No I did not. I wasn’t paying attention to that.” Sweetie and Bloom just sighed.
“Well lets go check out the town! We have an entire day to see the sights!” Glarin just grunted as he followed behind them.
As they walked out of the elevator to the front lobby exit they saw a rather large griffin talking with some ponies by the front desk. They could hear the end of his sentence before he turned around to look at them.
“...Do I make myself clear...?” The pony at the desk nodded her head and was pointing her hoof at them. The griffin approached them with a smile on his face.
“Ah, you four must be our newly arrived guests. From what Keen told me, my guess as to who Sweetie Belle is would be...” he looked between the two mares before setting his eyes on Sweetie. “...you. Such a lovely white coat just like he said. I cannot wait to hear your singing voice my dear.”
“Are ya Mr. Kreiger, the hotels manager?” asked Bloom as she tilted her head.
“Manager and owner of this fine establishment! I do hope you enjoy your stay while you are here. Is the penthouse suite to your liking?” Bloom and Sweetie just nodded their heads fiercely with huge smiles.
“Excellent! Did you get the message from the security team as well?” Sweetie just nodded her head “Ah, even better. Are you all headed out to explore the city then?”
“We sure are!” the Griffin let out booming laugh
“I hope you enjoy yourselves then. Remember though, you have a show tomorrow!” The two mares nodded their heads and headed to the door. They were soon followed by Glarin and Spike who seemed to just shadow them.
At the front lobby the Griffin watched them walk out, then he saw a dog approach them. He watched as the two mares petted the playful looking dog before going on their way. The Griffin turned back toward the mare behind the counter.
“I want that mangy mutt taken out back and gutted. I won’t have some filthy stray tainting my hotel. If its still out there when I come back from lunch. I’ll gut the damn thing myself, and then mount your head in my office with the others.” The Mare nodded her head fearfully then galloped out the front door looking for the dog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was now the next day and Sweetie Belle was nervous about going on stage in front of a large crowd.
“I-I- don’t know if I can do it you guys...” Bloom just patted Sweetie on the withers
“Don’t you worry, you’ll do just fine. Just pretend you’re still in Ponyville singing among friends and family!” said Apple Bloom.
“You’ll do just fine Sweetie, you have an amazing voice. I mean, you have a cutie mark for singing so of course you’ll do just fine.” said Spike
“I’ll beat anyone that dares boo yer singing Lass. Why not sing something more upbeat this time around.” said Glarin as he crossed his arms and huffed. Electing a giggle from Sweetie.
“Upbeat? Oh! I know what to sing then, go tell the DJ and band to play song 42...” The pony on stage was introducing her as a new and upcoming singer in Equestria, as he said her name he held his hoof out to indicate it was time for her to come out. “...wish me luck guys.” Sweetie walked out on stage and the crowd started cheering. With Bloom running down to inform them what to start playing.
( Footloose - Holding out for a Hero I couldnt decide what to play, so you can decide. Happy )
The music slowly began as the host left the stage leaving Sweetie by herself on the stage. She looked back over to her friends on the side of the stage and took a deep breath to relax her self.
Then she sang, and boy did she sing. Everyone within the theater could feel her emotion and strength from her singing voice. Using her magic she kept the microphone near her mouth as she moved upon the stage electing cheers and whistles from the crowd.
When she finished singing the crowd in the theater all stood to stomp and applaud her performance. Causing the winded white mare to gain a broad smile. The host came out again and held out his hoof to which Sweetie handed the microphone back over to him.
“Wow I must say, that was quite amazing, would you mind singing another for us?” Sweetie became flustered, but she nodded her head yes and the band behind the scenes began to play another song at random. The host left the stage with Sweetie levitating the microphone from his hand. She began to sing again with just as much strength and emotion as before.
This continued for another hour or so. With the last 20 minutes being the host talking with her, asking how she started singing and what not.
Everything was going rather smoothly. Sweetie Belle had to stop Glarin from beating back her new fans with a broom stick he had found as they tried to crowd her as they left the theater. When they exited the theater they were meet with Mr. Krieger.
“I must say my dear, bravo, bravo. You put on quite a lovely show my dear Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie began to blush and shy away a bit from him.
“T-thank you. I’m glad you decided to let me perform a show at your hotel. I’m sure with this I will become more popular!” the Griffin let out a laugh.
“I must say my dear, you not only captivated my ears with your beautiful voice, but you also captured my heart...” Sweetie opened her eyes in mild shock.
“W-well I...” She became flustered and started to slowly back up from him. Glarin and Spike raised an eyebrow at the situation, unfolding their arms as they watched.
“Please, would you do me the honor of becoming my marefriend, and live here with me? I will take care of ALL your needs and then some.” Sweetie Belle lowered her head with a mighty blush on her face.
“I-I’m sorry Mr. Kreiger, but there’s somepo, I mean, someone I like already.” he reached a claw out and gently placed it upon her shoulders.
“Oh come now my dear! Surely I can...” his sentence was abruptly cut off by Glarin stepping between him and Sweetie Belle with his claw thrown off with a rather brutal slap. Spike walked up and stood next to Sweetie Belle. His height making it easy for him to overlook everything that was happening.
“Are you deaf boy? She said no.” As Glarin stood between them he brought his fists up to his mid section and began to loudly crack his knuckles in a threatening manner. The griffin quickly backed off with a forced smile and laugh.
“Ah yes, my apologies. Please, enjoy the rest of your stay. I hope I didn’t offend you.” Glarin nodded his head and they walked off. Sweetie and Bloom looked back at his smiling figure until they were near the elevators. Once they were near the elevators waiting for it to arrive, a pony walked up next to Mr. Krieger, his smile had turned into a scowl.
“Mr. Krieger, is there anything that...” Mr. Krieger grabbed the pony by the throat
“Bring me that filthy creatures head on a platter with that snow white mare alive and well. I don’t care what happens to the other two!” He released the pony who began to cough and gasp for air.
“Y-yes boss! Right away boss!” As they were getting into the elevator, Glarin spared a glance over to Mr. Krieger. Glarin saw the griffin look at him with the eyes of an angry beast. Glarin smiled before getting into the elevator after Spike.
“How dare that filthy plebeian touch me!” Himmel Krieger flew up to one of the balconies in the lobby and disappeared behind its door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back inside the room Sweetie Belle was running around the suite with Apple Bloom celebrating how well the show went.
“All the cheering and applause ya got was amazing!”
“I know right?! At this rate I’ll be super famous in no time at all!” Sweetie said with a squeak.
“Mr Kreiger was a bit weird though...” said Sweetie as she looked to the side
“Well, it seemed he REALLY liked ya Sweetie. You still on about that colt Button Mash? Didn’t he get fat recently?” said Bloom with a hoof to her chin in thought.
“Yeah he did. But that isn’t the reason why we broke up. He was always too busy with his games to notice me. Even when we did play together it seemed like I was annoying him.”
While Bloom and Sweetie talked about things. Spike and Glarin were having their own conversation.
“Damn, I can’t believe he came on to her like that. What a creep.”
“Bah, No ones gonna be getting close to her like that with me around. I promised Applejack I would treat em like my own sisters and bring em back to her or Rarity safe N’ sound. Safe N’ sound would also include their chastity.” Glarin looked up to Spike in a slightly threatening manner.
“What are you looking at me like that for?!” said Spike a bit offended.
“I remember what you said about them back in Ponyville lad. Once were back in ponyville feel free to do as you please. But while were here, I expect professionalism. I didn’t sleep much last night and I remember you pacing around talking to yourself about how to ‘woo em’ while we're here.”
“Well you know, its just that...”
“What about those mares you got back home? Ain’t 5 enough for you?” Spike just blushed as he began to stutter a bit.
“W-well its just...”
“By Moradin’s great beard laddy! Are you some kind of sex fiend?” Before Spike could deny or confirm Glarins question a knock came upon the door. Glarin turned to look at the door.
“Oh I wonder what kind of beardless pony has come up to see the new singer. I hope they don’t mind seeing the bottom of my shoe instead.” Glarin and Spike trudged over to the door and opened it. Outside the door were those same security guards from yesterday. That same Green Stallion just had a stupid smile on his face.
“Hey guys, great show you put on today. Listen, Mr. Krieger is very sorry about what he did. So we have drinks for you. Free of charge of course, complements of Mr. Krieger.” He held out a platter with two drinks on it.
“The drinks for the girls are on the way. This is just some Fire Water, I can light it for you if you wish.” Glarin was about to deny the drinks when Spike took one from the platter and sniffed it. Causing the green pony to chuckle.
“You’ve never had Fire Water before I take it?” Glarin just grumbled
“We’ve had it before, But I just don’t trust you lot. This whole place has been giving me a tingle in my beard.” Spike sipped the drink and shrugged.
“Lighten up a bit Glarin. I don’t see anything wrong with the drink. Tastes alright to me. Besides, he said he was sorry downstairs right?” Glarin let out a loud low grumble as he grabbed the drink from the platter and sniffed it as well.
“Would you like me to light it up for you Sir?” Glarin waved his free hand to deny it.
“No thanks, I’m done playing with fire for awhile.” He threw his head back and downed the glass of Fire Water with Spike doing the same shortly after. “Tastes a bit funny...” Spike looked at him and shrugged
“Maybe its just a different brand.” As Glarin set the glass back onto the platter with Spike, the green stallion had a huge grin on face with the ponies behind him softly laughing.
“Stupid rent a guard’s...” was the last thing Spike and Glarin heard before the world began to swirl around them.

*Sigh* My gut told me this would happen the very second it was stated her show would be here. I have to read on!
(If this doesnt turn out well, im adding you to my Drommon Kruz)
well i expect to see a Kentucky Fried Griffin in the next chapters once Glarin gets pissed
Bring forth the blutzorn!!!!!!!
I saw Himmel Krieger and my mind translated that to Heaven Slayer... My fuzzy grasp of German and fondness for metal are potentially to blame.
*groan* not another german bad guy stereotype
I really hate it that every german displayed in any kind of media is always a megalomaniac sociopath with a god complex. I really am fed up with this trope. 
Himmel Krieger? Waht the buck, thats German for sky warrior.
