Venia and Radiant run into eachother on the way to Frosty
MEANWHILE, Frosty and Prima are not quite done
In a few minutes, my paladin will come and shatter the bindings that hold your soul in one piece. Can you give me even one reason not to let her do it?

"I attacked ponies calling themself protectors of this kingdom.
Protectors of these ponies.
I attacked ponies who had brutalized my friend, and humiliated her, who have made her live with an atrocious burden all this time.
And in doing so, I forgot your biggest and first teaching.
I should not let my emotions drive me."
Mantain the bow.

Please! Don't! I… I never wanted any of this to happen! I just wanted to be with you then I died then you bid me to this dagger and I did it just for you! I abandoned afterlive just so I will be able to help you but you didn't even go to Rosefall and you neglected me and I was trapped here and it was so maddening and then when I asked Kilana to take me to you again you were with two mares at once even though after what you said to me about stuff about flesh and thing and I lost my mind but I saw how stupid I was! Please! Just, let me really help you in Rosefall or just send me back! I never wanted this…

The shadowy pony they are bowing to remains unmoving
"You may leave. This has nothing to do with you."

"You asked to learn power over the dead. And I taught you. Yet you let the power overwhelm you. Control you. Tell me. Should I even teach you any further?"
>>211117
"And what would you think you could possibly do to make up for such a fundamental failure? You are no longer some mere initiate. You should have mastered these basic pillars of your strength long ago."
>>211115
You have a sudden craving for a hamburger and NASCAR. Since neither has been invented yet, you only feel a deep hollow emptiness in your soul.
>>211120
He stops in his tracks
He did kinda just leave you after binding you…
…Perhaps I have not been as much the better pony here as I had thought. Well… I still find it difficult to simply forgive and forget.
So I offer you a final offer.
If there are any words left unspoken
Any deeds left undone
Then now is the time
Before I have your soul sent back forever to whatever place calls for it.

Shadowy figure, my friends showing fear and respect. Looks like this is my cue.
"Yes." I bow again.
"I will wait for you two outside, if your meeting with your… sensei takes too long maybe I'll go to the library to read or two.." I whispered to Kilana, with that I go outside of the door and wait.

"I have to master the call of the Moon. She whispered in my hear, commanded me to punish their guilt.
Knowing they had hurt somepony I care for only made it worse.
It's all the things Lady Radiant has been trying to teach me, about beign passionate and strong of heart, clashing with the idea of suppressing my emotions, and when.."
Yeah, I'm rabbling, ain't I?

I pause "You shouldn't.. you should forefid me from learning it at all, and take my own staff hostage.." I look distantly for a second. "I should be punished for acting like a child.. I am not worthy of your training.. But I desire to try again, I have learned caution from this, and will not stray in this manner again."

"Tch. This is complicated. How many details do you know? How many were hurt and ho badly, if at all? Were they identified by anyone other than us? Where are they now?"
>>211151
"Hello, Miss Venia. It makes sense that they are not above punishment, I need to oversee this in some way regardless. Revoking their abilities is not an option no matter what."

I will accept your judgement, but please.. Pumpkin was acting on my behalf, spare him and let me bear the punishment.."

HUGGING BLADED WEAPONS IS NOT A SMART PLAN
The prince accidentally cuts himself a little as he presses the flat of the dagger against his warm chest
"AH!"
>>211163
"When what will you do to earn your place back, after trading your lord for another?
What will you do to show you serve the future king first, and the moon only second?"
>>211166
"Panic. Pain. Revenge.
…I have known those things all too often myself.
Bladeling. Is this true? Were you acting under her ideas, orders and wishes rather than your own?"

"NO!
I won't let her take the blame! I charged in, I confronted those slimes, I raised the first hoof!"
Give Kilana an hard look.
"As for my redemption, that's only for my Lord to decide, Shadow Song.
Neither me nor you can fathom His will. But I'm ready for whatever sacrifice He deems necessary."
>>211174
"My training will do me nothing if I can't help you! Or Bearing, or Shadow!
I won't leave you behind!"

"That's not the only problem. Those guards will need to be kept quiet. And knowing Shadow Song, what she has in store for them won't be pretty. I will have to intervene if she intends to inflict anything permanent on them."
>>211178
"That won't be the wisest decision now that it's out in the open, yes."

>>211183
"There is no proof anywhere Verne, calm down. I'm sure Shadow will do nothing to the Wintergrasp guards, we still need them after all. Can't start jumping at each others' throats like that."

She actually twitches a little
"Did you just say it is not for me to decide?"
>>211182
He lets go of the cut
I regret everything I ever did to try and find a use for you. Willingly or not, you seem to be a source of disaster for me and my beloved Sunrise.
You have had your hug. Your final word. Your taste of blood you many never have asked for. Is your soul satisfied? Or need I pull you of there for a final kiss or something before you agree to leave in peace?

She turns around, her eyes red from tears, her face twisted with anger
The sharp slap sends you flying across the tower. The sound of impact echoing through the room
"WHERE IS YOUR HONOUR? YOUR DIGNITY? YOUR GUTS? YOU GIVE IN LIKE A SCOLDED CHILD!
I THOUGHT I TRAINED YOU BETTER THAN THIS!"
She takes a few deep breaths
"Bladeling. Who is your lord? Who is your master? And who is the one you answer to, and whose judgement you will face?
Me?
The Moon?
The Future King?
Or what?"
>>211191
I fear I may in my haste have done deeds I should have left undone. I have violated the sanctity of death for my own gain. I have condoned the creation of cursed weaponry.
…and I should not have done any of it.
Perhaps, Prima, you did help me after all. You helped me learn an important lesson.
Come on out.
He conjures you a temporary magical body of light and places the dagger on it
Leave that damned weapon. This body is much prettier.

"RIGHT HERE! RIGHT HERE IN THE HOOVES THAT PROTECTED MY FRIEND!"
Calm down.
"Right here in the heart that stopped beating to save this kingdom!
I'm not going to allow anyone, not Lady Radiant, not those slimes, not even you, mother, dictate my actions anymore!
Frostmourn is my only lord."
Pause. Calm down even more.
"But you, you are all I look up to."

>>211213
Your body seems about as solid as conjured objects.
Tangible but teetering on the verge of ceasing to exist.
"You taught me death is not something I should tamper with. I do not possess the knowledge to understands the price of such deeds, nor do I possess the skills to wield such power with true clarity. You have helped me see the error of my ways, and allowed me to understand that simply because I can do something, does not mean I should.
And for that, I thank you."
He locks you into the kiss you always wanted in life
'1d10+3'
>>211219
She wipes her eye
"That's my boy…"
She then clears her throat and straights up again
"Still. Understanding what you did wrong is but the first step to absolution. You must still make amends to those you wronged.
I consider you are even with the guards…
But I doubt Radiant deserved all you gave her.
Both of you."
Roll #1 7 + 3 = 10

"Find peace in death.
Any last words?"
>>211239
"Make mommy proud… son."
>>211240
"H-HI LILA!"
The others seem a bit surprised
"You know her, Cinders?"
"E-Embers."
"More like Embarrassments. Now do you know her?"
"y-yes!"
"Fat chance. I bet she's just another mare you stalk."

"Yes, Lady Radiant was not deserving of that.. I'm not sure that she will so easily forgive me, but I shall go to her." I rise as look from her to pumpkin and back, and a small smile takes over, he really is something. "All this trouble.. I hope I can make it up to you as well, in this life or the next. "

"Go in peace. And know I never forgave you for anything you did yo hurt those I cared for."
He releases his control of the construct body, allowing it to shatter, sending your soul back to Tambelon.
He then collects the dagger.
"Well, time to make sure nothing remains."
He walks off to find Radiant and whoever is with her.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
>>211245
"Oh get a room you two. A room in some other tower. I need to water my fish and prune my cactus. Now shoo. Both of you."

He looks at you and then back at Embers

>>211267

The pair accused of assault was allowed to seek their own redemption at the hooves of one most capable of dishing it out to them."
>>211268
"Well I am talking to you, missy"
"Well um… n-no, not really I was just…"
"He was just going to pay back a little debt he owes me is all."

"Acceptable way of dealing with the issue. It should keep the guards quiet as well. Still, subjecting them to dungeon time would send a message to the populace that their rulers are not above the law and can be trusted. Should not be a problem since the issue is still contained, however."

Ironshod nods
"That's right, Embers. Damn right."
>>211294
"Well, if you feel that best covers your damages.
I imagined you might have preferred to send them on a quest of self improvement, or come out with you on patrol to stop the lawless in a more correct way. But, I leave it in your hooves. Consider it your repayment for any harm that came to you in the event."
>>211296

"Hmmm… now that I think about it… See, Prince, this is why I need someone to think for me, but…"
I nod.
"Yes, that shall do it. One week of service to the greater good. Their possessions taken, they will have to selflessly work to help ponies. Clean public properties, make and distribute food for the poor, do charity work. All day. They won't be allowed to see any of their friends either, and should have six hours for themselves per day, that means the time they are allowed to sleep, and sleep at the barracks. I will personally oversee that they don't slack.
Do you find that suitable enough as well, Prince?"

Ironshod flicks you across the horn before you can cast anything

His words are cut short as Embers punches him in the eye
"YOU KEEP YOUR HOOVES OFF LILA!"
Ironshod looks downright shocked

"Had you wished to sacrifice as little as you could, you would not have stayed. You would not even have accepted the call to save my mother. You would never have studied magic or combat. And you certainly would not have agreed to marry Unyielding."

I grab him by his neck and pull him close, face to face
"Listen to me closely here, because here's the truth: I fight and kill the enemy so someone, somewhere - probably someone I've never met and never will meet - will be happy. I never told you how I lost my father. And nothing I ever do can make up for that loss. But if I put myself in the way of people just as bad as the ones who killed him, if I take them down, then someone else they would have hurt gets to stay happy. It's not just the killing and trying to survive myself. It's making the world a little better in the process. If I hadn't pulled your mother out of Ironfoe, the entirety of the Northlands would have been in the same state as they were 20 years ago. Endless wars, death and destruction. They would have never been able to stand a chance against the Southern threat."

>>211464
Yeah that did break the dagger.

"Venia please, this is serious. It will not only allow me to walk right again. It includes a detachable exoframe that can be mounted around my whole body. This, combined with an outer armour layer with in-built catalytic runes, will enable me to use this whole self powered armour as an extension to my body, amplifying both the physical and magical aspects.
What I need you for, is helping me figure out the correct way of creating such a runic matrix - one best suited for conjuration."

"It needs a shorter name.
The short and simple of it is that I will have my leg replaced with a golem. However, this new leg will contain mounts that allow me to equip further pieces of the same hollow Golem, making up a set of full body armour that can move autonomously and thus weights nothing on me.
Adding to this, I plan to carve the inside with catalytic runes, enabling the entire suit to function as a single catalyst to my spellcasting.
This is needed, because the wing spell is not strong enough by itself to lift such a weight."
He taps the silver coil on his horn
"This lovely gift enabled me to continue my research, and I have so far found out that it is indeed possible, if difficult, to stack multiple instances of the wing spell."

The only way I have found to circumvent the problems involved with hollow golems, such as not having a place for the core, is to use the wearer, myself, as the core instead. My severed leg allows for direct neural connection with the golem, so I can be in direct control of it. Even if I got hollow golems to work otherwise, they would still need to be piloted more than worn. A clunky and dangerous business."

"How do you suppose Manifest Destiny knows as much as he does, though?"

I began to draw circles on the floor.
"Well, she's the one who push me to be more close and… intimate to you. By intimacy, I thought a kiss or two would do, but perhaps she knows a lot about boys.. and their need. That is why she helped me by arranging my hair and looks."
"Well, that may had something to do on how you behave that night with all the talks of you… doing me.."

"These three are the only ones who sell silk in Wintersgrasp. And mysteriously they all charge vastly more than foreign merchants."
The merchant defends
"Coincidence! But these guards are telling us to pay them the supposedly 'stolen' money and they will let us go!"
>>212545
"…have you not seen it? The…thing that lurks by him?"
>>212546
He is starting to get really red in the face by now
"I can't believe this is happening to me… You… you're incredible…
…and I mean that in a good way…

"Either way, considering Manifest Destiny's… unnatural knowledge, and the presence of that entity, it is safe to say they are related. Which means that whatever his Master is, it is real, and cannot be ignored if what the rest of what he says is true. If that entity can give him that much knowledge, there may be more it can do."
"Now that we both know this, we cannot afford to brush him off as a madman any more. We must at least acknowledge this as a real threat… or a real opportunity."

Use this 'Master'. We can attempt to negotiate for its assistance or otherwise, and if all else fails… worship it. Or at least, convince it to appear as a god so the North's faithful have something new to turn to."
Keep my face stoic and unblinking. I know just how insane my proposition is, but if it's out only hope…

>>212575
The prince sighs

I will… consider it. If that was all, you may go."
>>212577

Go off and give some medicine to Venus too before sleeping it off. Night, if we're really pulling long North I'll be back in 5-6

"Oh hey Corn. What's new?"
>>212590
"Take care Verne."

He pours you a glass of clear drink
"Bottoms up?"
Roll to see how hard it hits you.

"Well, no. But the point stands. These merchants are fixing prices and making an ill gained profit off it!"
>>212593
Both her students just got a week of community service for punting a paladin in her gaping void of a cunt. She is less than happy.
"No. I just thought I'd use the energy for cleaning instead of killing something."

…I just feel so… deeply… deeply disappointed. At both of them. Ah the pains of being a mother…"
>>212602
"That's my point - ALL of these merchants have the same prices! All of them are selling it far too expensively!"

"Imagine bakers doing the same for bread! Or guards deciding to abandon a street because it became too hard to patrol!
Think of the commonpony. If you did mean no harm, give back half of the price difference to all the ponies who brought from you, as an act of faith.
And don't accuse guards of such low acts as shakedowns. They are on your side."
Despite what some do.

"Yes, well… I wish a lot of things too. From what I understand he did it to help Kilana. I'm sure it just got out of hoof and that this wasn't what they intended to do. Besides… nopony got hurt right? Well I suppose lady Radiant did but still, no serious injuries were had. If Pumpkin really completely lost control he would have probably killed them, but he didn't."

"Same here. I was talking with Pumpkin a few days ago and he mentioned how you had asked him and some of our friends from back when we were foals to help too. I was hoping that me and my potions might be able to help."
I take out a few Mirror Image and Conjure Armor potions and set them on the table in two groups.
"Ever since I was a foal I've been able to make potions that contained spells. In fact, the first time I successfully combined a potion with some food I cooked when I got my cutiemark."

The merchants bow down
"Y-yes. Okay. We should have thought this out more."
The guards seem very pleased with the outcome
"Thanks kid. We've been trying to get through to them for hours. Stop by at the barracks later, we'll give you something nice as thanks."
The guards take the merchants away to get the money
Also Kilana is here now

…Oh by the sun and moon I need to get a grip.
Can I take off your clothes?"
>>212638
"Yes, I remember… I wonder.. could these potions be produced in large quantities?"

"Pumpkin actually asked the same thing. To do that I would need a lab of some sort, because we don't want the food in the kitchen becoming contaminated with odd spells. I would also need larger quantities of ingredients. That means that instead of plucking a hair or feather from your or Anita whenever I want to make something we may have to…shave a few mages. Those would be the easy parts, though. The potions do not always absorb the spells correctly, and sometimes they go flat without warning. If I could figure out a way to solve those last two problems we would be able to arm your entire army with magic."

I put a hoof around her neck
"From what I understand Falconwreath was a loving husband with a terrible job. But if he truly loved you he wouldn't have made you live through all that you saw. And he sure as hell wouldn't want to kill you for you having enough of his sickening deeds."

He starts to grunt a little
"Ok… that's good… um.. I think we should move on before I… end things before their time.

"It's not the same, Shadow. The last few years I've spent with him are some of the best I've had all my life. I carry those memories with me into the future as luggage. To remind me during the bad times that there are still good times to make up for it. I'm not a pony of intrigue or bureaucracy. I don't even look forward to being a queen. But I'll still go through with it, because it's his dream. It's been his dream for so long. And I still sometimes feel a pang of guilt that I denied those dreams all those years ago. What I can tell you is that I'll make it damn clear to him when I don't like something. If I saw him doing the things you saw Falconwreath do… well… I don't think I'd ever be able to forgive him."

>>212758
He stares at the grave
"He was a good pony. I can't imagine what heartless demon drove him to such deeds…
…I think I should honour his memory. Yes. I think I will apply for the guard.
At least if they don't want me, I have one more reason to die."
>>212757
You're a bit too good at this.
The poor boy barely has time to enjoy your naturally skilled tongue before he shoots his load in your mouth.
He then reels back and breathes heavily
"WHOA! Are you sure you've never done that before?"
>>212759
"Still sore, are we? Well, it'll repair in time. I've been trying out our new blood. They seem capable and valiant to say the least. So, when will we geld them?"
The paladin recruits suddenly fall very silent
>>212761
"Thing is… stabbing a pony in the eye and turning the blade until he has a confession was as mundane to him as signing for a shipment of ink is for your future king…
I guess I'm just haunted by the knowledge that I never really asked him. Or even told him. I just… left."

The murmur among the candidates starts to grow
"Primitive but effective, I suppose."
He turns to the paladins
"FORM A LINE THEN. ON THE DOUBLE."
There seems to be some hesitation, but one by one the paladins do follow orders, save for one who just stares at Celaire in angry disbelief.
>>212767
She leans into you
"I'm so lucky to have at least found a friend in you. And a son in Pumpkin. I just tend to wish from time to time I had a chance to say I was sorry to him…"
>>212772
It seems to help him gather his thoughts
"Thank you. You are a good pony. I have nothing to offer in return but my gratitude, but… thank you. From the bottom of a heart lifted from a bog of sorrow."
>>212773
"I-I could do the same to you while we er… wait"

"WARRIORS OF SUNLIGHT! ABOUT FACE! TAILS UP!"
The nine swallow and turn in unison.
The tenth stands his ground
"Soldier. Did you not hear the order?"
"I did. But I will not bow to your madness! This is not a sacrifice I'm making for your ridiculous semblance of a cause! Keep your sashes and medals! I want no part in this insanity!"
He throws down his paladin insignia and storms off.
The others remain silent.
Celaire motions you to give him the hammer.
>>212783
Seems you are about done for the day.
You should go back to the barracks and wait for Radiant.
>>212784
"I only with I get to say that to him before his blades cut me down.
But now I'm sounding gloomy. So how about that Celaire fellow? Quite the number he did on Radiant."

"Oh Sun… tell me about it. Everpony in Wintergrasp heard her!"
I snicker
"Poor Radiant couldn't walk straight for days. She's got a short temper… and very headstrong too, insisted we should spar immediately when I asked her about it. Didn't so much as touch me the entire match. But I like her still, she's so very dedicated and unwavering, yet honest and caring too."

"WARRIORS! REAR HOOVES APART! NO TALKING. Sun guide us all."
He paces slowly behind the sweating warriors, letting his steps echo across the training yard
"Any volunteers to be first?"
No answers
"Good. I did say no talking. I'll just start here then."
He comes to an abrupt halt, lifts his hammer, and as a loud gasp is heard along the line as each warrior fears they were picked, he smashes a nearby rock, then tosses the hammer back to you
"And that concludes our test. You all pass. Willingness to sacrifice anything and everything for your cause is an important aspect of a paladin. And you all stood unflinching in the face of such a sacrifice.
Now go and rest. You deserve it. Dismissed."
The nine leave, some wobbling a little from the adrenaline rush.
After they are gone he turns back to you
"Another one down it seems."
>>212788
A bunch of very pale paladins are returning from the training grounds at least.
>>212789
"You know what else is honest? A rock. Never heard a rock lie in all my years. That doesn't make it smart though."
>>212780
He gets down for a good look
"I can barely believe my luck… I hope y-you like this…"
He skittishly starts licking you

Wave goodbye to Celaire then look for them.

"I have no concern about what you might think of me, Lady Radiant.
I know full well what I am and what I did.
Even if you'd like to think my actions selfish and unjustified, my only offense was to act without a direct order from my lord.
That is the reason I've accepted this punishment, and that is what I'll make amend for.
Don't try to shove into my head some kind of idea of heroism and good fight.
You have no idea what fighting for the right cause means."

"In case you never looked, I don't cast a shadow. That's because my shadow walks beside me, not beneath me.

"You should ask the smith for a quick batch of ceremonial suits."
>>213160
"I could think of no greater honour, my blade. I will gladly accept."
>>213203
"I was going to! But then my friend Pumpkin -who's having a wedding VERY soon!- started going on about me performing the wedding march by myself through magic and I- I don't want to let him down! So please, do you know of ANYTHING that could potentially make it happen? Even with my skill, I still can't do it!"

It is wedding preparation time.
Venus and Bearing Fruit are out picking decorations.
"And to think we only met less than a year ago. And here we are now."
"I never even thought I'd agree to be a bridesmaid. That was one weird double date."
"Yeah, remember how the boys asked us for it?"
"Ha, yeah, they were all-"
AND THIS IS HOW WE MINIATURE TIME REWIND
Verne and Pumpkin, welcome to the past.
>>213205
Oh poo. That was probably your best one.
…maybe Shadow could lend you something?
>>213209
"Well we do have some things that might help. Come on in, we can discuss it over some tea."

"Well lets put it this way - he asked me inside his room, and the next thing I know is I wake up outside to say yes. So yeah, I was excited… then we had cake~"
>>214098
"I doubt it. He has better things to care for than how his old mother dresses."
>>214101
Well well, looks like Kilana beat you here.
…hello, ladies?

"Not much. Just talking my fiance~"
>>214109
Well enjoy being time locked for a moment as Pumpkin resolves his part
>>214115
You can't help but wonder if Pumpkin always enters via the bathroom
>>214113
No.
She is still an assassin first, a once-lady second. Or third. Or fifty somethingth.
"Well yes. Might as well look the part I guess."

Venus is digging through her clothes
"I can't believe the shit you talk me into…"
>>214119
She thinks for a while
"I honestly can't recall…"
>>214122
"Lady if you want functional armour you need to be methodical about it. Stuff I can toss together in a day or two won't protect you from anything bigger than a snowball."
>>214121
"he can be like that, yeah. Isn't it cute?"

Okay is that a stupid smile on my face? Yeah it must be.
"Don't just tell everything, allright?"
Give her cheek a small kiss and then turn towards Kilana.
>>214121
"Even if there were I'm sure you could handle them with your hooves behind your back zigga.
I'm here just because we were going for a date with Verne and Venus in a few, wanted to see if she was ready."

>>214133
"I don't s'pose you could get me some leaf gold from the market could you?"
>>214135
"Venia in case you've forgotten, I spent the past ten years living in a forest. I haven't been outside this tower since I got here."
>>214136

Much better.
That is a very pretty mane and tail~
>>214150
"Venia I have not eaten anything I did not kill myself for years now. Forgive me if some of my social manners have gotten rusty."
The shadows look a little concerned as she actually steps out the door herself for the first time since she got there
"…this feels so strange."

"You ladies are in luck! We still have some great brands from Prance with us!"
>>214220
Bearing check the menu
"…I'm not really hungry"
Venus gives her a look
"Look if the food doesn't please you just say so."
She looks a bit taken aback by the direct comment but then laughs
"Ha! Yeah ok I'd rather donuts."
>>214221
A waiter takes the order and heads off to get you what you wanted

Shift closer to Pumpkin as we walk towards the baker.
"I never do much… I just make sure to be there at the end of the day, when he comes back home."
Then, drop my ears and look towards him.
"He made me sick worried… I hope you don't really-"
Turn abruptly towards Venus
"He doesn't run off in the night to get beaten up too, right?"

What luck, Venia is out looking for a dress t- wait… is that Shadow Song with her? Holy shit she is actually outside for once?
>>214313
Depends on what you want.
Celaire knows his armour
Frosty and unyielding are good with royal and military
Or maybe you could ask Shadow for the Lordblade uniform…
>>214314
There is no official word on who is better, Miss Needleseye or Mr Button Nose

Seems to be drilling his soldiers for a wedding salute
"Ah, the hero of the day himself. Greetings."
>>214317
"Oh I got plenty. Plenty indeed. Take a look around and ask if you need any help"
>>214318
Shadow song pats your head
"I have nothing planned, Just this old thing and Venia's lovely additions to it."
>>214321
How darling. It complements your stripes and has a little necklace to give it personality

And holy shit does it ever.
Careful with that dress or Unyielding might make this a double wedding.
Its like this was made for you.
>>214335
Shadow grabs you and spins you in the air a bit
"Haha! There's my daughter in law! How you doing sweetie?"
She seems… remarkably happy.
>>214328
"Well now. Armour? Hm. I never thought you were a pony of that kind. But certainly. Let us go find the viceroy. I'm sure he would appreciate to get in on this."

Whew.
Allright she's not as scary as she was a few years ago.
"I can't believe it's finally time! And now I have to find a dress…"
>>214348
Do a slight bow
"Not yet Lady Venia, me and Pumpkin have been thinking until now on the theme of the wedding, I just had no time find the right dress!"
>>214351
Walk over and give a long look at the dress.
'1d10+2'
"We do now Kila! Last night, me and Pumpkin finally found it! It's the sky! Think about it Kila!"
Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Viceroy Unyielding is at his desk, working. As he sees you enter, he waves for an aide to pick up where he left off and comes punch you in the shoulder
"Groom huh? You sure grew up fast. So, what can this almost-king do for you? A bachelor party?"

"Eheh. I wouldn't mind, let's just not talk about it with the bride…
But actually, I'm here looking for an armor for the great day.
Me and Bearing came up with a nice idea last night and, well, yeah…
Basically, I need an armor that shows my purpouse, my love for the moon… And looks stunning!"

>>214419
Shadows waves to you
"And don't you dare not come back for me!"
The prince is with Sunrise
>>214422
They have separate shops.
Needleseye listens to you and thinks
"Work together? With Button Nose? Don't be silly. That old goat would never agree to it."

She gets a faint smile
"That'd be great for business… but still, you'd need a small miracle to get that stubborn grump to even talk to me. You're welcome to try though."
>>214432
"That we are. That we are indeed."
"Frosty is having problems picking an outfit."
Sunrise has become a decent if cautious mage. She prefers to keep working on a few spells rather than widen her range.
>>214436
"Well I doubt I'd let anyone else wear it. Still, I like you. Put a bit of padding in it and I think it'll sit well on you. Of course I can't let you have the royal insignias on it or anything since those are for the king only."
>>214443
"Well you do make a point. If you can get Button Nose to agree, I will agree too… But only if he comes and says it to me in person."

"Oh y-yeah of course! I'll use the insigna of the Moon, if that's allright with you.
I mean, I don't even believe I can touch something like this…
But thank you, Unyielding. You were always a mentor to me."
Then, move in closer to him.
"And when will you and Venia get to it officially?"
"Oh y-yeah of course! I'll use the insigna of the Moon, if that's allright with you.

"Oh, its very specialized. We need a set of gowns for wedding, its got a very particular theme, and everything needs to be just so, you know how brides are." I wave my hoof as if I'm annoyed. "Well, she has the craziest idea, and It could make you famous, famous enough to bring in customers from other nations.."

"Oh, the theme is fantastic, inspired even! Its the the sky itself, The bride will be the sun, and the groom her vigilant moon.. The brides maids all made too be their stars.. " I wave my hoof around painting the scene. "For it to be perfect.. we need one thing, one key. The prefect dress must come from.. " I pause and look faint for a moment. "Oh, I just don't know if you're ready for this.."

The armour, once stripped of royal seals, has no insignias.
You need to find some on your own.
"Only the best for my Venia. Anything else I can do for you, kid?"
>>214479
he takes off his outfit, somewhat annoyed, and gets his royal armour, fur lined cloak and the under layers that go with it, then puts it on
"Well?"
>>214484
"Yes yes get to the point. Whatever it is, I'm sure I can manage it. Heck I put magic wings in a dress once."

>>214512
"Stole my best customer from under my nose? Took all the money on a deal we split? Did her level best to drive me out of business?"
>>214513
"Not really, no."
"Oh c'mon! You wanted to show her the spell!"
"I said it isn't ready! What if I miscast? No. Not now. I'll simply wear the normal version for the wedding."
Sunrise huffs
"…but it looked so cool…"

"Hm… let me see what I can do. Could you check back this evening maybe?"
>>214516
She huffs but then calms down
"Well ok…"
Frostmourn takes off the armour
"Such is life with these experimental spells. And don't worry. So far the worst that has happened was a misconjured construct. Embarrassing and painful, but not destructive."
>>214518
He looks at his bag of money and back at you
"…so you've already spoken to her then?"
>>214519
"Years back when we worked together. She kept on teasing me at work, but I never paid it much mind. However after all they money from a big deal just vanished into her pockets, I quit and opened this shop."

"I know what I said. But I also know I feel like a whole new mare out here! C'mon at least give me some tips!"
>>214558
>>214561
"I'll consider it once I hear it. Come back when you have the truth from her."
>>214559
"Of course. I may not be a direct disciple of the moon, but I am a capable cleric. Do you have some of your own, or would you like a few of mine?"

Oh Moon.
Those two again?
Sigh…
Yeah, walk there and look for a divine jeweler.
I have a very specific piece in mind. Glowing dark with the colors of the night all around, and shining bright white in the middle, just like the moon.
A piece like that would be perfect to hold the cape on the armor.
Roll #0 5 + 2 = 7

Open the thread in 2 tabs, one for each name
It seems there is a new jeweler along on the caravan this year. She seems less pushy than the other pair.
>>214597
>>214602
She shakes her head
"I wanted to fund our wedding with that money. I wanted it to be a surprise, but he kept insisting half of it belonged to him. When I finally gave in and was about to explain, he stormed out and never spoke to me again…"

It's perfect.

>>214627
>>214628

"That old fool… Thank you girls. Thank you. I- I should go talk to him…"
She puts up a [CLOSED] sign and runs to Button Nose's shop

Ilistar*
Typos!
"Wait I never told you? Ilistar was his first name. Lord Ilistar Falconwreath."
You also spot a darn good looking stallion going about the market. Strong body, handsome jaw, well groomed mane.
>>214637
"I made it when I could not sleep. I started work as I looked at the moon. I put it down as the sun rose, and continues when the moon held me awake again. It took two months to finish. But it helped me sleep more soundly.
I guess most ponies of the north simply do not appreciate the moon."
>>214638
>>214636
Button Nose seems shocked his age long rival is in his shop
"Needleseye? What are you-"
He has no time to finish as Needleseye slams him, then kisses him right after
A long moment later she speaks again
"You big dummy… you never stopped to listen… I needed that money to pay for our wedding…"
He seems speechless
"…I… made such a big deal of the money because I needed half of it for your engagement ring!"
Heartwarming.

"Short bow. Something compact. Easy to fire on the move. Light. Draw distance no more than seven hooves. With range."
The stallion raises an eyebrow.
"You seem to know about bows."
"I do. I've used one all my life"
"Well isn't that quite something indeed. So have I."
>>214671
"COME ONE! COME ALL! FLOWERS EXOTIC, FLOWERS MUNDANE! FLOWERS FOR EATING! FOR DECORATING! FOR EDIBLE DECORATING!"

Well done. It was poisonous.
The merchant didn't even notice so he couldn't warn you.

"Sure, sure. What kind are you looking for? Southlands? Far east? Arid west perhaps? Equestrian?"
>>214687
"Hunter?"
"No, sports archer. You?"
"More of a hobby, really. I work as a… teacher?"
"Ah. A respectable position indeed."
"I agree. So, a sportspony are you?"
"Indeed. Four time winner of the golden arrow in Equestria. Only archer to claim the regional title two years in a row in Trotantium. Third ever pony to win a medal in the Griffon Grand Archery Tournament."

"Sky? Well well let me see… a bunch of these… a few of these… loads of these blue ones… and a big old sunflower.
Yeah, that should do.
Blue for the sky, white for clouds, silver for the moon, yellow for the sun and a few twinkleblooms for stars!"
>>214723
He seems a bit hesitant himself
"I um.. should probably get going uh… I have… things.. to do…"
"…oh…"

"Well we have a few ways we can go about this. One would be to pre-cast the spell a few times, provided you can maintain it for so long. Another would be to make a temporary spellbound trinket for making copies, but I doubt we have time to make one that can last longer than one mass use.
Or we could see about brewing potions to mimic the spell…"

Oh crap, I need to try and fix this
"Uhhh… what my friend really meant to ask is if the two of you could… have a contest! Yeah! She's really good with a bow you see and nopony around here has been able to beat her yet! Seeing your expertise, I'm sure you'll make for a good opponent!"

"Well the sun is big ain't it?"
>>214736
"Oh?"
"Oh?"
"Well I would never step down from a little challenge. Name your prize and we shall compete.
…I assume you have a target range?"
"My prize? Heh… how about you take me out for dinner if I win?"
He looks at her with amazement
"Uh…"
'1d10'
Roll #1 5 = 5

"We'll need them in time for the wedding. We'll have the groom tell you exactly where to bring them, his name is Pumpkin Smile" I lay down enough coin for the arrangements we need. "Right, so that's enough for each bridesmaid to have a twinkle bloom, and the stallion arrangements.. and.. Yes that's the list!" I'm assuming pumpkin gave us pocket change for this

"Well making disposable ones out of scrolls is possible. However I must warn you. Each will only last one cast."
>>214761
ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
"Oh? Do tell! Do tell! I just got us some flowers too. And I think the dress issue will resolve itself very nicely."
>>214760
She looks you deep in the eyes. It is a little unnerving to see her look so… vulnerable.
"Venia… I miss him. I miss my Ilistar…
Being out here has done just want I feared… all the memories are coming back…"

I nod
"Well… you were in love with him, even when you fled. But…"
I rub the back of my neck sheepishly
"I can't exactly tell you to just completely forget about him. But still, the things he did were evil. Evil enough to overpower the power of love. Is that really a life worth living?"

"Not Frosty, not this time! It was Unyielding! And you won't believe what else he did for me!"
Take out the Moon seal.
"Let's just say this will go over the most beutiful armor pony has ever worn in all the north!"
>>214772
"Right! I got Anita for the entertainment, Corn for the food and Lady Radiant will marry us!
Oh and I think I've seen Celaire prepare something with the warriors of sunlight, but I'm not sure…"

"Just… can you make as many as you possibly can? Pumpkin can probably pay… but I don't know how many he wants… I- I should probably check that with him. Do you think you'll think you'll be here in… I don't even know how many days there are… Crap!
I know it sounds ridiculous, but can you keep making these until I return?"

"He allowed some to go… if they cooperated. He killed when he was told to. He tortured when he needed to. But I don't think he ever hurt anyone for fun…
…and he never hurt me."
>>214790
"Well if you can get me say fifteen, twenty sheets of leaf gold, I can gild you ten suits of armour. Deal?"
>>214793
he starts his work

"Venia, in case you can't tell, I am heartbroken.
…I kept myself in isolation for so long to suppress these emotions. To become hard and strong.
Now look at me.
…maybe I should just go sit in my tower some more…"
>>214822
"Well sure we can provide"
"Given you have the coin for it."
>>214823
You can tell there have been many tears shed here…
"Oh! The bride. Hello deary!"
"You have done us a great deed young one. Tell us of your dream dress. It will be a gift from us to you. Our masterwork. Free of charge."

"I choose a perfect braidsmaid.."
Get up.
>>214835
So. Tell them all about the dress. The theme of the wedding.
"And so I should wear something that recalls the sun, and… the bridsmaids all little stars…"
Go on until I've depicted everything in the most minute detail.
"Am I missing anything, Kila?"

"That it is. And there must be more to life than drink. Tell me, what do you do for fun? Can't be just drinking and chasing stallions, can it?"
>>214848
"Yeah we can give you fifteen for that"
>>214849

The tailors take notes and make quick sketches as you talk

"Reading, sparring, shooting things with my magic bolts, I used to go hunting with Anvil every so often as well. Though these days that rarely happens. Aside from that there's teaching Sunrise and Frostmourn. Practicing and trying out new spells every so often aaaaand… well that's about it really."

…! "Whoa, calm down. We have everything together. Your dress will be ready, your flowers will be fine, you have the best location, and the best groom. Gurl, you're set up. We only have to check on the music and catering, and Pumpkin was handling those. Nothing to worry about at all."

"Eheh, right, like that time he did that huge move in the sky, and then landed an hinch away from me, and gave me the best kiss of my life…
We had just met, you know.
Or that time he took me to fly~"
Okay try to find comfort in her embrace

A sharp whistle and yelling out IF ANY FINE STALLION MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR COMPANY seems effective enough.
A pair of fine looking lads seem interested in the offer.
"Well hello ladies"
"Both of you looking for company?"
>>214936
Yes, I googled it.
"Surely. What do you need?"
>>214937
"Will do. Check back in a few days. I'll have them prim and polished, glowing with pride."
>>214938
Magic, and, well, a big barrel with a fire under it.
