Storm Clash glanced around curiously as they trotted through Ponyville. Despite the small town being so close to Canterlot, he never visited it before. The few times he was assigned to guard the Princess on some delegation it was usually headed to one of the bigger cities. Even when he was on a leave, he opted to hang around with few guys from the Royal Guard, or visit his family in Manehatten.
Ponyville was quite peaceful looking. There weren’t any stuck up ponies in sight, everypony was polite to another, and all were visibly happy. It became clear as to why the Princesses and Sir Matthias felt it would be the best location for teaching ponies about the Holy Light... if what little he understood about it is true. Storm recalled hearing about how Sir Matthias was able to fight off the Changeling Queen and King Sombra, both powerful magic users, on even grounds; and at the same time heal those wounded at Sacred Heart Hospital, all thanks to its power.
For a moment the pegasus stopped paying attention to his surroundings, as he began to feel panic gripping his heart. Was he really a pony that could learn to control such powers? What if he would just humiliate himself during training, or worse, waste everypony’s time? What if-
“While it’s understandable to admire this beautiful town, you seem to stopped paying attention to what I’m saying, Storm Clash.”
At the remark, said by Sir Matthias, Storm snapped himself out of his brooding. Few ponies were glancing his way, some sympathetic, others - like Rainbow Dash - snickering, for getting reprimanded like that. Sir Matthias, however, didn’t even flick his ear at him, continuing to stare ahead as they trotted towards the Abbey.
“Sorry, Sir.” Storm said, wondering how he knew he wasn’t listening.
“No need to apologize, you didn’t miss much.” Sir Matthias replied with a warm tone. “As I was saying, all four of you will have to divide duties, such as cooking and cleaning, between yourselves. Don’t worry though, after you complete your training, we will have many new initiates, so there will be more ponies to pinch in.”
“Wish I could pinch somepony...” Tucker murmured, barely hearable. “Bow-chicka-bow-wow!”
The other sentence he said much louder, making the Grand Master glance back at him sharply.
“Um, sorry, sir.” the unicorn apologized, no doubt feeling a bit intimidated by the paladin’s stern gaze.
Sir Matthias rolled his eyes and turned his head back, to which Tucker sighed with relief. He then almost immediately looked to the left. Storm, following his gaze, spotted two mares sitting by a table in a restaurant nearby eating brunch. One was a unicorn with similar Tucker’s coat, but brighter, and mane pale cyan; while the other was an earth pony whose coat was pale yellowish, and mane blue pink. Storm Clash had to admit that they were quite pretty, but instead of gawking at them like Tucker, had redirected his attention back to Serenity, who’s just about to ask Sir Matthias a question.
“Lightbringer, sir,” Storm raised an eyebrow upon hearing this name, but decided to ask about it later, “how long does training initiates to paladins usually last?”
“It depends on many factors.” Sir Matthias replied. “Weapon training, prayers, discipline... but if you are wondering how long your training will last in particular, then know that I was hoping to have you became paladins in a matter of weeks.”
“Weeks?!” Storm thought, his doubts about himself again rising.
“However, after the ceremony that will grant you connection to the Light, you will still have to learn how to work with it, how to use its powers to heal others and fight your foes. I don’t expect you to be able to do such feats right away. It will take some time for you to understand how to channel the Light. I also plan for you to have a sort of ‘field practice’ at some point.”
Hearing that, Storm sighed quietly. It was huge relief for him, to know that it would still take time to learn everything after the ceremony... whatever would happen during it.
“Is it necessary for a paladin to go through ceremony to work with the Light?” Serenity still inquired.
“No, some can learn to open their hearts to the Light without it. However, where I came from, Light is much more... present, in the life of others, than it is in Equestria; so those that manage to find connection to the Light on their own have encountered with it before. For example, when I was young, I usually went with my family for praying session in a chapel to receive Light’s blessing. I am hoping that eventually, ponies will similarly start coming to Everfree Abbey for that, but all in due time, as they say. For now, we need to focus on your training.”
“You know, you never actually mentioned that before.” Twilight broke in to the talk. “Was the rest of your family also part of the Silver Hand?”
“No, I was the only one.” Matthias replied. “But the Light was an important part of everyday life to my family, so to speak, and many others.”
“Um, what’s a silver ‘hand’, Sir?” Serenity asked, confused.
“Hands are those things minotaurs have in their upper-legs instead of hooves.” Guard Shield told her.
“Yes and Silver Hand was the name of the order of paladins I was part of before I came to Equestria. My cutie mark is its symbol. And before you ask, the order was composed solely of humans and dwarves, creatures who also have hands.”
“But...” Storm said before he could stop himself. Sir Matthias glanced his way, so he had no choice to finish the question. “... if that’s true, then how come you were part of it?”
He remembered how Brann, the dwarf that was in Canterlot for few days, looked, and assumed that humans weren’t much different. Meaning completely different from ponies. How come a pony became a member of their order, then?
“Well,” Sir Matthias told him, smirking, “let’s just say that I’m a very special case.”
To Storm Clash’s confusion, as well as other initiates, judging by their expressions, Matthias comment made the six mares and one baby dragon all giggle.
“Well...” Sound Wave commented after a long moment of silence, “this is not much different.”
“Oh, quit whining.” Cherry Bomb replied, already feeling annoyed. “And besides, I think this is better than standing uselessly in some corridor of the castle.”
“So, standing uselessly at the entrance to an abbey uselessly is better? How do you figure?”
Cherry had to admit that his friend is right at that point. Both of them were now at the newly-built Everfree Abbey, and were supposed to stay and guard it for as long as there wouldn’t be more paladins wannabes training here. That could take months, for all they knew.
“Well, obviously, this part is as boring as that.” he finally said to his fellow unicorn. “However, you clearly weren’t paying attention when we went through this town. If you did, you would have noticed.”
“Noticed what?” Sound inquired, now curious.
Cherry grinned as he told him.
“Notice how much mare-stallion ratio is in our favor.”
After a second to comprehend that, and possibly also recall how many of the ponies they passed a few days earlier when they went through Ponyville were mostly mares, Sound Wave also grinned.
“Heh, I guess you’re right. We will have to discuss with Matt how often could we go on a leave. Damn, now that I think about it, isn’t that hot DJ from Shining Armor’s wedding living here?”
“Why do you assume I remember the wedding?” Cherry asked, shifting the spear he held to stand more comfortable. “I don’t know if I ever drink so much as that night.”
“Hmm, I do recall two mares joining us and Matt... with one beating you!”
“And you were the first to go, as always.” Bomb retorted, once again feeling a bit ashamed that a mare proved to have stronger head than him.
“Not ‘always’, Shining Armor gets down before me most of the time... provided he stays until the end. Damn, when was the last time we went drinking with him?”
“Dunno, must have been last... May? Damn, that’s long.”
“Hmm, maybe we should ask for transfer to crystal guard?” Sound Wave pondered. “It would be nice to drink with him again.”
“Because then you wouldn’t be first to find himself under the table?” Bomb smirked at him, and noticing the offended look Sound gave him, he chuckled. “Anyway, as amusing as the sight of Shining Armor getting drunk is, I don’t think we would get to see that anytime soon, with him being Prince and all.”
“Yeah, he’ll probably never get to party like we used to ever again... poor bastard. So, do you think Matt will become our new drinking buddy?”
“The Grand Master of the Holy Order. Yeah, I can just see it.”
“Well, we need to get somepony new; it’s boring to just look at your muzzle across the table... maybe those new initiates? Hey, while we’re at it; who was it from the Royal Guard that is supposed to be trained here?”
“Storm Clash and Guard Shield,” Bomb reminded him.
“Oh, right. Hmm, I suppose Guard is a bit too old to fancy going out with us... and Storm, sadly, might scare away all the ladies-”
“Dude!”
“What? You know I don’t have problem with that jaw of his, but that is a fact.”
Cherry sighed, recalling the few times they took Storm Clash and few others for drinking (with the first time needing to drag him). Almost all mares were glancing away from their table whenever the pegasus with a crooked jaw was with them.
“Well, they were all prissy unicorns...” he tried to say.
“You do realize that we are also unicorns, right?” Sound asked, smirking.
“Yeah, but I’m from Dodge Junction, and you’re from Fillydelphia. We might have both moved to Canterlot when we were young and later went to on to join the royal guard, but we are not like those so called ‘elites’ of Canterlot.”
“You got that ri-” Sound began to say, but paused for some reason. “Hey, look at that, the Grand Master himself… with company.”
Cherry Bomb looked immediately the direction Sound Wave was nodding at. Indeed, he could see in the distance that Matt is approaching, along with ten other ponies (and one dragon), most of which were mares.
“Well, this will be pleasant.” Sound grinned, no doubt already planning to be better acquainted with one of them.
Sighing, Bomb found himself in sad duty of bringing his friend back down to earth.
“First of all, we’re on duty-”
“I know, but that doesn’t mean I cannot get a better look at them, right?”
“-and second of all, one of those mares is Shining Armor little sister.” Cherry Bomb finished. “Remember how back when we were teens you told him that she was a cutie and he-”
“Don’t even remind me.” Sound cut him off, his voice having lost all humor.
Bomb couldn’t blame him. Shining Armor gave them that day very precise description of what he would do to either of them if they would even try to date Twilight. Heck, both unicorns almost got nightmares from that.
Twilight gasped as she finally got a good look at the Abbey.
It was huge; easily double the size of Ponyville’s market. A small wall, big enough for ponies to jump over it, made of white stone covered the area outside of town. The big building inside of it, no doubt the ‘chapel’ Matt mentioned, was one of the most beautiful buildings she saw. While it lacked the size and sheer magnificence of Canterlot Castle or Crystal Castle, it was as elegant and captivating as the buildings in Altomare were. Twilight looked in awe at the white and gold walls of the chapel, and five spires, the central one being the highest, sprouting from the roof. She couldn’t wait to get a better look at it, and more importantly, what was inside.
The other building, while also quite spacious, was less impressive. It looked a lot like the Royal Guards’ barracks in Canterlot which, as she figured, made sense. After all, paladins needed some place to sleep, and considering Matt’s plan to have many more ponies training in the future, shelter such as this was the best option. Twilight could also spot a smaller building attached to it, right next to the huge empty space, but couldn’t tell what it was from this angle.
On the other end of the Abbey there were many trees, and the lavender unicorn assumed that Matt had some sort of gardens placed there, or a small park. She could also spot some fountain, and a weird looking statue...
“Eh, it’s not that big as I thought it would be.” Rainbow Dash remark, said in usual for her tone she used whenever she pretended to not be impressed, made Twilight concentrate on others.
“Well, it is only roughly a third the size of your ego.” Matt replied to Dash’s comment, making their friends giggle at the cyan mare expense. Glancing at others, the stallion asked: “So, what the rest of you think?”
“It looks amazing!”
“Gorgeous!”
“Mighty spectacular!”
“We should celebrate!”
“It’s very... big.”
Fluttershy’s comment, not by any means disrespecting, made Matt chuckle and glance at the chapel. “Well, I might have gone a bit too far with it. It actually looks more like a cathedral than chapel.”
Twilight was about to ask how exactly those two types of building were different, when she spotted that the break in the wall, with a road going through it, had two royal guards standing there. It didn’t take a genius to figure out this was the entrance to the Abbey, but why were there guards here?
“Due to our numbers being so small, I requested presence of the Royal Guard to help protect the Everfree Abbey.” Matt said as they neared them, as if reading her thoughts. “While I have nothing against ponies coming here - far from it, in fact - it would be bad if some of the weapons or armor pieces went missing.”
“Oh, that makes sense.” Twilight realized, wondering how she could miss that.
“Sound Wave, Cherry Bomb, how’s the first day on the job?” the paladin asked the two guards when they finally reached the entrance.
Twilight smiled to them as she realized those were her brother’s friends. She knew them, of course, but it was impossible to tell it was them with those armors on them.
“They look terrible in white.”
“Pleasant, and it surely beats what the last ponies that got relocated ended up with.” the one on the right – Sound Wave, by the voice of it - spoke. “They’re all the way on the border with Saddle Arabia, the poor idiots.”
“Idiots?” Matt inquired, seeming a bit displeased with the word.
“You would understand if you’d met those three. They were originally posted near where Crystal Empire was - you know, before it appeared again, so it was right in the middle of nowhere - for years. The seclusion must have affected them somehow.”
“Hmm, anyways, you remember those six ponies and dragon, and probably know Guard Shield and Storm Clash. The other two are Serenity and Tucker Out.”
“Sup?” Tucker greeted the two guards.
“Hi there, to all of you,” Cherry Bomb replied, both nodding their head. “So, is there any chance of going drink someday?”
The question was obviously directed to Rainbow and Applejack, who shifted a bit uncomfortably. Apparently, they still remembered how the reception ended.
“You do realise you’re on duty, right?” Matt asked the two, annoyed.
“We are allowed to take some time off though.”
“Eventually.” the paladin told them, but sighed as he ended the discussion. “Let’s go and see everything up close, shall we?”
Twilight was the first to march into the Abbey, right after the Storm and Guard. She got a good glimpse of their cutie marks while at it: Guard was, unsurprisingly, a shield, while Storm’s... a smiling face?
Putting the thoughts about cutie marks away, she looked around. The chapel’s entrance looks majestic, having short stairs in front of it, making the main floor of the building being about a meter over the ground. The frame of doors was lined with gold and silver, which reflected beams of sun, making Twilight turn away for a moment.
“This is the Lightbringer’s Chapel.” Matt announced, pride in his voice. “We will conduct prayers and philosophical part of your training here. Over there are barracks.” he added, pointing at the direction of other building. “This is where we will sleep and eat. Due to your status as initiates, you will be staying for the time being in the lower rooms, with multiple bunks in each, until you’ll rise up in the rank. They’re not co-ed.” the paladin told clearly disappointed Tucker.
Twilight chuckled quietly as she regarded the barracks. Now that they were closer, she realised that it had banners attached to it, which were now flapping on the wind. Most of them had the familiar symbol of Equestria, two alicorns flying in a circle with sun and moon, few had Crystal Empire’s, white snow petal with wines on violet background, but others... had a half of a sun on one side, ending of moon’s crescent with stars, and a single hoof above them, all on black background.
“This must be the symbol of Celestial Light!” she realized with a jolt, amazed that it took her so long to figure out.
“The building next to it is the armory.” Matt continued. “You will pick up an armor suiting your size, as well as weapons you will feel most comfortable with. Paladins traditionally fight with warhammers and maces, but swords are also popular, as well as spears, halberds and axes. Since paladins’ main duty is to protect, it goes without saying that we also carry shields, as well as sometimes librams, to aid our allies with incantations of the Light. We will practice fighting at this training yard.” he pointed at the big empty space near. After that he turned around. “This small park will serve as place where you can relax in peace, whenever you’ll find the Chapel to be too crowded for your liking.”
“Sir,” Storm Clash asked, a bit hesitantly, no doubt curious about one detail as everypony else, “this fountain... I mean, the statue...”
Matt chuckled warmly at the pegasus discomfort, before he glanced at the direction of the fountain.
It was a small pedestal, with water coming from its sides. On the pedestal stood big, massive being, reminding Twilight a bit of Bolvar, at least from shape. Like Brann, it - or rather, he, judging by the beard the portrayed being had - was bipedal, but much taller. He was clad in heavy-looking plate armor, in one hand holding a book, in other wielding huge hammer.
“This is a human, a man that trained me in the ways of Light, Uther the Lightbringer.” Matt said, and Twilight, knowing him well, detected a hint of sadness in his voice.
The unicorn glanced back the statue, and noticed a small plaque, that read:
Uther the Lightbringer
First Paladin and Grand Master of the Silver Hand
"The third and most important of the Light's virtues is compassion."
Twilight smiled at the tribute Matthias made for his old mentor, but before she could address that-
“My tail is twitching!” Pinkie’s scream pierced the air, and almost at once, everypony ducked for cover...
Except for the four paladin initiates, who looked at the strange behaviour in confusion; the two Royal Guards, glancing from the entrance to see what the commotion was about; and Matt, who continued to stare at the statue. Twilight opened her mouth to speak, but then:
“AAAAA-!” another quite familiar scream, erupted and was silenced, when the owner of it first appeared out of nowhere in the air, and then met violently with the ground few seconds later.
“Hi Brann.” Matt said nonchalantly, his eyes still on the statue.
Who was the one that suggested the name for the order?
You magnificent bastard, took yer sweet time didn't ya.
10/10
Need moar.
2790739 Hm, looking back to those chapters, I notice that I indeed forgot to give the credit for suggesting the name. You suggested the name "Celestial Light" in the comments under chapter 48... but chapter earlier, tehrandompony also suggested the same name.
Ok that last line was great
Brann's face meets ground, act 3 !
A truly awesome symbol for what is sure to be a awesome order.
So, looks like Brann finally made it back with the Paladin supplies eh? It's going to be an interesting experience to see (if you chose to show it anyways) the paladin philosophies that Matt will be teaching them.
The logo is great :D and the chapter was quite enjoyable... interesting chemistry for the initiates you have here...
BEST.ENTRANCE.EVER.
There be no better drinkin' buddy then a dwarf!
woo! Brann's back! alright!
2790797 I suggested that? You accepted it? what the fck?
2791454
**** Sylvanis, she used WMDs on Gilneas when her invasion force was pushed back, after she specifically told the Orcs she wouldn't. As much as I dislike Garrosh, even he was preferable to Sylvanis and her psychotic obsession for revenge.
Hahahha yaaaay Brann its back!!
2791590 Just incase you didn't know =D
http://www.wowpedia.org/Matthias_Lehner
2792133 Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
Wow...
Just, never mind that I even said something to begin with.
Coulda been anything. All but six know what it means and the seventh don't give a DAMN!
Yeah, he's not lookin' forward to admitting the Crystal Pony situation...
Also, awesome work on the symbol!
I'm having a really hard time believing that Tucker Out is over a thousand years old because of the way he speaks.
2790797 thanks I couldn't remeber if I did or not and it was really puzzling me.
2792727 Lore-wise, specs and stuff like that makes no sense. Thrall for one could create earthquekes and summon feral spirits since Warcraft III. I am not going to operate by game mechanics in this, otherwise I could have had Applejack die and get brought back to life by a spirit healer after timberwolf attacked her, I mean, what would be the point for Arthas to heal her?
I was kinda hopeing that Bran would bring guests with him when he returned, oh well.
2792166 oh lol I just thought it might be interesting and started reading, thanks. And to the author, I have to say you have improved chapters have progressed. Can't wait for the next chapter.
well, talk about a painful way to kiss the ground
2792747 True enough on that, but specs are the game developers way of introducing fighting styles. For example, a person might be better at using a spear than a sword and shield, or vice versa. So, that being the case if they up and decided to pick up whatever weapon they weren't very good with and attacked something that they could barely defeat with their weapon of choice... I'm sure you can guess how that would go.
Prot paladins are defensive fighters, they prefer to let the enemy attack first, thus their emphasis on defense
ret paladins are all about "the best defense is a good offense", and to that end go all out damage.
Holy paladins are basically the spellcasters of the paladin class, they don't really want to be mages or priests but they prefer to let their spells talk just as much as their hammers.
Also, holy magic is magic
[youtube=Lp5XsILypYQ]
If you'll notice at 1:00 that paladin looks up a blessing in his spellbook before casting it.
I suppose all of this is to say, you can totally have a badass paladin without making him overpowered... you just have to make sure and use everything available to him while not making everything available to him.
2797755 True, but he doesn't know that (or didn't, at the time)... Besides, despite being a real pain, I hear they have some pretty great trinkets.
2797039 There's a necromancer in Tirisfal glades that seems more than happy with his lot in un-life.
Also, out of mild curiosity, if forsaken are an "abomination against nature", what are undead warlocks? Cause that happens to be my favorite character... not mad, just curious.
Finally had a chance to read this chapter. Firstly, Oh poor Brann, that transportation artifact seems to love teleporting him into Equestria a decent ways off the ground. Also, I like the way you described the chapel and it's surrounding grounds, and that statue to Matt's mentor? Beautiful. Just beautiful.
2792747 You know what? I just had a possibly genius idea; maybe when they have more initiates, Twilight, Matt, and Brann (maybe make it Matt or Brann's idea based upon a remark figure out a way for Matt to use the Holy Light to tame/convert some Timber Wolves to server as guards, assistants(maybe, sort of a silly concept though), or companions. Timber Wolves are technically/most-likely self propagating magical constructs. So, in theory, you could convert a Timber Wolf by replacing their natural magic with Holy Light magic. It would really make the Everfree Abbey unique. And the Timber Wolves wouldn't be mindless slaves, just loyal towards their Paladin and other Holy Light users.
wait!!!!! Better Idea for what they could be used for; when they get more initiates and the chapel starts getting larger, the Timber Wolves could serve as message carriers between Ponyville and the Chapel, or between the Everfree Abbey and other Chapels(when or if they eventually build more) Maybe that could become a big test for the initiates after they become Paladins, taming/converting a Timber Wolf and binding to themselves, making it match the body type of the species. So normal Timber Wolves for Unicorns and Earth Ponies (albeit maybe about 2/3rds the size of normal Timber Wolves) and for pegasi; 1/3rd normal size Timber Wolves that have leafy wings.
Yah the idea does deviate from what Paladin's typically do, but I wasn't thinking of the tamed/converted Timber Wolves from a general combat stand point, the guard ones being decent in combat but aren't able to utilize the Holy Light(of course) and are more of an intimidation factor. While the other ones are more for carrying additional books or other non-weaponry for the Paladin that tamed them. Since ponies can't carry as much as easily as bipeds, and this isn't WoW (or almost any other RPG video game) where you have Timelord Technology pockets/backpack that you can shove everything into. In theory the Timber Wolves could feed on fallen branches and Holy Light energy itself, meaning the Paladin that tamed/converted them has to feed them every so often or they fall apart. Which would promote responsibility in a more realistic way then having a normal pet. As well as better management, and awareness of the Light by having to know how much Holy Light is left in their Timber Wolf companions.
For the record, this is the reason I enjoy reading good fanfics, especially crossovers, that do something different or complex. It get my mind, which can be extremely creative at times, into a creative mood. So my mind thinks up an idea and then just runs with it, upgrading and altering it until it either gets bored with the idea or feels that there is nothing left to change/upgrade. I just really wanted to share this idea with you and the other readers.
2792237 Thanks! I'm glad everyone likes it! And your right, I forgot about that. No wonder Matt was all nonchalant about Brann's entrance. Matt lost a borderline bet.
Hahahaha lol
love it keep going!
Heeeeeeeeeeee's back!
2797039 We forsaken have minds of our own, We fought against Arthas and we brought him down with the help of our faction.
You do not seem to understand how deep that sentance cuts in someone that's played forsaken for nine years.
2799464 What exactly in my previous comment suggested that I think Forsaken don't have their own minds?
Borsuq I really need to ask this:
Why is Tucker Out's vocabulary badly contradicting with the fact that he is over a thousand years old?
Is he written like that on purpose?
The problem I'm having with him is that almost everything he said on this chapter destroyed my immersion to the story.
2799912 Well, for one thing, he was stuck in amber/crystal like thing for all those centuries, so the fact that he has over thousand years doesn't mean anything. For him, it was practically like waking up... but due to the extended time he spend in that block, his mind suffered thrauma, resulting in amnesia.
So, he speaks like he used to back in then, even though he doesn't remember that, because he only list his memories. Now, if you are curious how could somepony talk like this in those times, while we see clearly that Luna, who also got back after thousand of years, speak differently, using old words such as "thee", "thou", and such. But, in case you don't remember, in "Birth of the Nightmare" mini-arc, I portrayed that kind of talk to be used by her only during official occasions. I meant it to be a way of speaking that only royals and nobles used while talking with somepony, accepting guessed, during court, et cetera, while in their homes and such they spoke normaly.
I know, I know, I should have everypony speak using anachronisms, but I felt that I could get away with reasoning I presented.
2799939
Well I didn't mean that Tucker should use the old way of speaking, but his way of speaking is kinda the reverse of it, its a fairly new way to speak, and in our society which in most cases mirrors the pony society this way of speaking didn't exist a thousand years ago.
Now I can only speak for myself because I don't know the opinions of other people reading this. I didn't find Tucker's way of speaking funny or clever, I found it out of place and it just felt wrong.
If it some point your gonna have an epic battle with Tucker in it, if he is gonna speak like he has in this chapter, its gonna destroy the entire scene for me.
This is the first chapter where I found this problem with Tucker. His dialogue in the chapters before this for the most part didn't have this problem.
Hi brann....
XD
also I must admit I'm quite pleased with the image you chose as the "mark" of the Celestial Light- is it celestial light or celestial lights? I'm bad with names, you see...
With a few guys.
Heal those wounded at the Sacred Heart Hospital.
A few ponies.
It was a huge relief for him.
Start coming to the Everfree Abbey.
For a few days.
Comfortably.
Drank.
Proved to have a stronger head than him.
Ask for a transfer to the crystal guard.
And a few others.
Shining Armor gave them that day a very precise description.
Rainbow Dash remarked, which she said in her usual tone.
Mares.
Glancing at the others.
What do the rest of you think.
I requested the presence of the Royal Guard.
Where the Crystal Empire was.
Drinking.
Right after Storm and Guard.
We will conduct prayers and the philosophical part of your training here. Over there are the barracks.
Of the other building.
A few had the Crystal Empire's.
All on a black background.
You will pick out armor suited to your size.
Since a paladins' main duty.
Will serve as a place where you can.
On the pedestal stood a big, massive being.
In the other wielding a huge hammer.
A few seconds.
Brann should really look into getting himself a Parachute Cloak
nice work dude nice work
That was obvious as there was nothing else to fall.
Poor Brann he really needs to find a way to cross dimensions that doesn't involve falling...
good work.
LOL XD I love this guy's entrance!
3622286 So true, but unless he's an engineer I don't it would help him much.
As funny as Branns sudden appearance was, I have a feeling his reaction to Serenity (THE CRYSTAL PONY) is going to be even better. XD
