The day is still bright, but you have traveled far into the forest, and can only see the occasional ray of light shine down through the trees. You are one of several who heard the call of nature and have come here to find out what the cause of this meeting may be. There are several animals, ponies, and other wise here, all looking up to a mighty Treant, its leaves full and green, and its face as serious as it is kind. "Welcome friends, I hope you are all happy in this world.. We have decided to move on leaving our guardians here to watch over you." As you get closer to the front you can see to the side a small mushroom like creature with arms and feet, he has an aura of decay around him and a slight smile on his face as he kicks back in the shade. Standing to the side is a cluster of floating rocks, this shape is vaguely hoof'd, and seems to have its arms crossed.

Under the shade of a nearby tree, I bear my parasol to catch the few rays that have hazarded through the green to have at my fair coat.

Currently, I'm pre-occupied with fretting over using my telekinesis to hold up the edges of my silk dress, keeping them from the disgusting dirt below.

I don't look at ease even being here, and slightly recoil when a nearby squirrel looks at me with curiosity. Despite looking to be quite distressed, I bite my lip and say nothing.

The Treant continues. "You who have answered our call. Who share the knowledge of nature and how to apply it.. We need your help, we wish to retire and need to find a location suited for us. In your wisdom, you may find a place for us to settle that is suited to all three of our needs.." the massive tree gestures toward the two other creatures, the mushroom and the rock elemental.. "This is the task we have sent you for.."

>>246112
"Ah — I think there may have been a mistake."

I pipe up, a bit defensively, "I don't think I'm right for this kind of… labor. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't have come if I had anywhere else to go! I'm not meant to be outdoors. I need to go back to the city. Why would you invite ME, of all ponies?"

I pace in place a bit, obviously bothered by the fact that my hooves are touching dirt.

The Treant turns to you, its brow furled a bit. "You answered our call, if you did not care for nature you would not have come here. Do you mean to say you traveled here to turn me down?"
>>246120
The stone elemental floats up and raises its arm toward area. "This place is too close to the cities, too closed in, noisy.. and not enough space for mountains to form, I could never be happy here."
The treant looks incredibly annoyed at his outburst. "we have done our job here, and its time to move on to someplace tranquil, balanced, and where we won't be disturbed. We have each assigned guardians to watch over the lands for us, timber wolves, lesser stone elementals, and your most trusted mages have been given the knowledge to summon a 'Lord Smooze' should anything go wrong in your world you will be able to rely on those beings for aid."
>>246125
The Great Treant smiles. "You ask the right questions young one, I like that. In the end we leave that answer up to you. The Shroominites are very desirable companions, and would like us all to stay together. If you find that no place is suitable for all three of us, thus preserving our current balance."
>>246128
A small cluster of bees emerges, they form a small heart to let you know that they love you, and hum extra synchronously. "
>>246122
"We have a few favorite spots to investigate, but its been years since we were there and any place that we choose will need some form of attention I'm sure. The white desert, the swampy marsh, the mountain ranges, and a peaceful meadow.. "

I give her a perturbed look and respond rather pointedly, "Me."

"Well I do care for the plants and the animals, but isn't this all a bit dirty and chaotic? It's quite wild out in the forest! I suppose now that I'm here and have nothing else to do, I may as well help, but why did you call upon me?"

No.246152

I give a respectful bow.
"What do you think would make a good place for them, Flower?"

"You have a hive too? Where?"

"In Canterlot, of course! Most of my family's manor is interspersed with greenhouses. I tend the Hive." I indicate her little companions, "I did not realize that wild bees even existed. Mine require so much care. I suppose I have quite a bit to learn about this so-called nature, dirty-though-it may be."

>>246155
I blush a bit, and cover my eyes by lowering my parasol a bit.

"I-uh…"

I pause, unsure.

"I needed to leave the city, and I had nowhere else to go when I was called, so…"

>>246162
I nod. "Right. No time to dwell on the city. I'm sure you don't want to know about my boring old life. Let's get to finding a nice park, or perhaps a quiet suburb for these noble elementals."

A group of small shroominites jumps up and displays they are clearly as mobile as any pony. Their legs are small but quick. "Not a problem for us, not at all."
The earth elemental simply rolls his eyes a bit and hoovers back and both displaying his mastery of gravity.
The Treant speaks slowly. "We can move where we need to go, thou we may be a bit slower than the others we certainly have been preparing for this. " Indeed, it seems like the massive roots have be morphed a bit into spidelly 'legs' and 'feet', and the treants are mobile enough for this trip. "We can not do this to often, but it is likely our final journey so we will make the effort for this."

That… I did not expect. Pardon me, spirits."
I give a respectful bow.
"Would you prefer for us to explore other possibilities, or would you like to move now?"

No.246213

>>246204
>>246209
I smile pleasantly, "Why yes, they can be called wagons, and often are by the laboring class. You see, some ponies choose to make their way in the world by serving others. It is simply the way of things. I'd imagine they answer the call to help me cross the street much in the same way I've now answered the call to help these elementals find a home."

I give my best proud, determined look, before retreating back under my parasol.

No.246219

"Ponies… living to serve other ponies? I don't understand! Why would they do such a thing? What do they have to gain?"
I scratch my head, confused.

No.246226

"Yeah! You should be free!"

"Its understandable, but we wouldn't have called you here without a plan for out departure. We shall trail behind your group to see for ourselves how the new land fares."

So the party traveled onward to the meadows, the sweet scent of flowers fill the air. The land is gently hilly, and there isn't a town for miles. The bees seem thrilled at this place and hoover excitedly. An odd sparrow is flying away from something over the hill, and before it can land its shot down with an arrow. A hooded pony scrambles to grab it and seeing your party shoots and arrow with a red feather on it toward you. It lands harmlessly before your feet and a note unfurls from it. On the parchment is a simple skull a clear message to you.

You slide into a pure white dove and fly over their camp unseen, nothing more than a little bird who moves like a cloud.

You know, I'm starting to think maybe this whole 'summons to serve nature' thing is for the best. I can't remember the last time I had words with another pony. I'm usually so absorbed in my greenhouse that I lose track of time! You know, it's quite like a large greenhouse out here, now that I think about it. Maybe I've been seeing things wrong the whole time."

>>246264
"Oh, please, call me Alexandra, or even Alex, if you like. And oh, my, yes. The pavement in Canterlot is everywhere. It's quite convenient. It's a large carpet, like the grass here on these plains. There are ponies everywhere, of course, but not so many animals, or these…"

Wow, that's impressive, they simply watch with jaws loose as you launch a boulder from the air at them, you strike your target, the leader, knocking him on his flank, he's just barely awake now.
Your bees perform wonderfully and make a small sword shape with their attack, they subdue another attacker and the others seem to be done fighting, they are weakened and their leader is down. They are sort of bowing to you, chanting "Boulder Bee Goddess New leader!"

I let out a sigh of relief as she changes back.

"Ah, it's… nevermind, it's more important that you're okay."

I pace in place a bit, distressed. "Sorry. So sorry. I was worried I had lost a friend. I thought they did something to you. I wish I had come sooner, now."

The mare with the hat looks surprised and stands proudly. "Red arrow tribe, HO!" she say to them. they all echo "HO!" you can only guess that this means they accepted her as the new leader since right after they all lined up behind her.
She turns to you. "You are kind goddess, we will be headed to the forest now, live better there."

They began packing up and treating their wounded, you can over hear groans as the new leader is listing out commands to respect nature, like "no eat bird" and "trees good, not break small ones"

The Treants are clearly pleased at your work, and they seem to be wondering about the place. The Shrominites look extremely sad, and the Earth elemental is eyeing a particularly sharp hill.

The elemental scoffs a bit. "treants would love to be rid of me i'm sure. they're just leeching off my ground anyway, lazy. And it wasn't for no reason, they were taking from nature, eating everything not meant for them, killing sapling even if we don't stay the land will be better off."
A shroominite hops over to you two. "Its much more fun if we're together.. Please think about it some more.."



You can see the treants seem pretty happy here as well, they seem to gathering around a flower bed.

"I'm aware they've gone, but we've sent them away needlessly if we don't use the land at all. The damage they've done is not healed by sending them off. In fact, they'll damage their new land even more by taking from the trees and wildlife to create new housing elsewhere. If we didn't intend to use this plot, it would've been wiser to contain them here, and instead set them to work righting their transgressions, through planting new trees and custodializing the wildlife.
