She slept until noon, and didn't really care for the cold food, but the note was nice. So she kept it. For safe keeping~
>>173346
She gives you a concerned look
"What? Why!? Oh don't tell me you've gotten into trouble!"
>>173348
"Bitch yo betta keep them stripes straight as an arrow. I don wan be catching you in no zigga moments y'all hear? Now PEACE."
She vanishes in a puff of watermelons and jazz.
You have shifted alignment to Chaotic Good.
A bad roll might trigger a Zigga Moment, sending you back to your evil ways.
>>173351
Well if you insist on impatience, it technically IS "tomorrow"

Hm. So a small set of spellbound slips of teleport can be used to swiftly clean a room by teleporting everything with a slip to their original locations… Clever.

Don't throw old wine away! It can be used to clean stubborn stains on stone surfaces! And that's not all! A messed up mane can easily be cleared with a reversed lightning spell due to the way static electricity works!
>>173398
She's just leaving class.
>>173395
The dress is still very nice. A 9/10.
"There you go impatient little miss. A fine dress for a fine customer. Do drop by again!"

Unyielding must have carried you home from the woods.

There is a servant entrance if you want to try that.
It leads through the muddy yard and kitchen.
>>173455
You keep puffing sand in the faces of everypony you find and then hop over them and shove them face first in the snow.
Great practice, even if one of the bigger guys you pull it in punches the air out of you for a good fifteen minutes.
>>173458
…is she still asleep?
Man, she must be lazy as hell

Yep. That should do it.
Vanish - LEARNED. Ha! That was EASY!
Bearing then taps you on the shoulder, her face full of pebbles and snow, eyes red and mane muddy
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA WITH THE DISAPPEARING TRICK AND SNOW BATH!?"
Indeed most ponies you practiced on share this sentiment.
DC6 to explain your way out of this without losing a popularity point.
>>173469
You walk in.
She seems to have at least brought the food in but fallen asleep again.
>>173470

Why yes, yes you can.
Bet you feel clever. You outsmarted a wooden plank.
You are now in the kitchen.
Brickhouse is having trouble fitting.
>>173478
The displeased murmur is striking.
You are no longer famously cool.
"Ugh. I gotta go wash up. Don't ever use me as some training dummy again you hear me!" She huffs and struts off to take a bath.

The prince looks like he hasn't slept at all.
>>173487
"Wha? WHA! AA!"
She falls out of bed
"AH WHAT TIME IS IT!?"
>>173488
You hear something about Pumpkin being a dick and practicing some trick on bystanders.
And lots of murmur about… strange couples.

>>173496
"NOON!?"
She leaps up
"No! Oh no I'm so late! SO LATE! Where is my uniform…"
>>173497
Just food spills and the occasional mouse.

You keep a heroic pose up on top of him and get smacked in the face by a hanging pan.
You fall off him and land in some soup spills.

She keeps bathing
"Well… if you insist… You could wash my mane for me?"

Well there is still a big ol' splodge on it.
Still, better than it was before.
You have a 8/10 dress.
>>173537
She bites it down and takes the pain for a while then pushes you away and washes it herself, grumbling
"…you better have some nice surprise for me later for this…"
>>173538
"Well there goes my attendance record and reputation, nothing more. Gah. And to think the night went so well. Why must the morning after always be bad?"
>>173542
"We found a sun emblem on him. It could have been planted though. Nylis should be ok, I think. She insisted she was ok. Last I saw, winterbreeze went to comfort her. And I'm unharmed…"
he returns the hug
"…I don't want to be this scared miss Venia…"

You can hide the stain, but that ruins the shape of the dress so it's of no use.
Regardless, if someone snitches about you breaking the uniform code, you'll be escorted out.
>>173553
She opens her talon
"Reading it was the one thing I found strength for…"
>>173554
"NOT HERE YOU… YOU… PERV! Urgh. Ah. You are just HOPELESS today! Come and find me when you're the nice gentlecolt I love again. Good day."
She storms off.

I shudder a little

And as she does, Venia focuses her magic
Let a wish be granted to this mar eof the north
Let her feel her one time of true joy
Let the wounds of the past be healed
And let these two fly together, if only for a day
The spell embraces and engulfs Bearing, before focusing on her back and detonating, erupting into a pair of glorious wings that slowly lift her off the floor.
Shocked at first, her eyes then fill with tears of joy as she flutters to the top of the room
"P-Pumpkin? Am… am I…?"

Weren't you talking to Nylis?
Is Nylis here?
If not, i dunno. Go find your waifu. Or the prince. Or something.
Oh look a newcomer at the school!
>>175024
"Not a clue."
>>175020
"Honorable suicide. We would need to unite all the Northlands to even stand a hope of slowing them down. Wintersgrasp and Ironfoe alone are too weak."
>>175023
He nods and observes
"That's more of a Falchion than a Scimitar… what if I wanted to conjure… the king's sword?"
>>175028
Nobody there.
Guess you should try the assistant.
>>175027
"I've began research into some less-explored powers."
"What she means to say all she does these days is blacken windows and read up on blood magic."
"And flicks the bean like there's an exam on it the next day."
"HEY!"
"Oh c'mon we can hear it across the damn hall"

The prince has massive glowing wings
Venia is pointing sixteen swords at him
Holy shit is she trying to kill him!?

"Come in."
The voice of a young lady.
>>175041
"I simply wish it to… look the same. You know. It would be… proper. And fitting, don't you think?"
>>175043
"NO NO DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!"
"Like two weeks now?"
"Ever since she found that book she"
"SHUT UP!"

You were in her company already
"So you were going to perform for me, right?"

"It is our possessions. We are no longer able to stay here at the palace"
A worker pokes his head out the door
"We found explosive mold growing in the adjacent room. Odds are it is inside the wall, so we need to rip it open. Sorry for the inconvenience."

She twirls a claw in the air

"Equestria's wealth is remarkable, but outer provinces can often fall out of favor over time due to the central government all residing in Canterlot…"
>>175059
The assistant councilor put her glasses away
"Oh do come in. I fear the councilor has fallen ill, so I, Miss Threadbare, will be taking over his duties for now. Are you new?"
>>175061
She is eating at the cafeteria
>>175062
"That it is! Forged by Old King Wintersgrasp, it is the sword that killed his rival, King Ironfoe. From then on, it has been passed down from generation to generation, each son of Wintersgrasp wielding the blade in turn! I-"
He stops and his eyes grow watery
"-I… I'm not… I'm… n-not…"
Sunrise snaps out of her loving daze
"F-Frosty?"
He is biting back tears now
>>175063
"Mmm… I'd rather now… It's… kinda spooky stuff… dunno if you'd like it."

"Tch… This will be tricky… we need to vie for their favour somehow, then. First we show them teeth, then we show them hospitality, then acceptance… but this is still the loss of Wintergrasps' sovereignty. But then.. gaargh-"
Hold my head in my hooves.
"You can think of nothing to be done, Mr Destiny? No matter your answer.. I would like you to assist King Goldenblood and Prince Frostmourn in whatever way you can. They need to know."

I enter, trying to prevent my ears from folding. I then find a suitable place to take a seat.
"Oh my, is he going to be alright? As for being new, yes I am new here. I was told by my mother to enter and enroll in this school though as I arrived I thought of roaming the premises if its to my liking. I was then told by a guard to check your office for further details."

>>175068
Walk over to him and hold his head between my hooves, moving my face close to his as I do so
"Frostmourn, don't let your possibly different bloodline throw you off-guard. It means absolutely nothing at this point. You were raised to be a prince and eventual king of Wintergrasp and you are just as worthy of the crown and throne as your predecessors. Now snap out of it."

Guinevere raises an eyebrow
"…yes? And?"
>>175079
>>175071
"B-BUT HOW WILL I BE A GOOD KING!? NOT JUST TO WINTERSGRASP BUT TO IRONFOE AS WELL? HOW WILL I RULE OVER A NATION I DID NOT GROW IN? HOW WILL I WIELD A SWORD WHO BY ALL RIGHTS BELONGS STABBED THROUGH MY HEART!?"
>>175076
"Ah yes, welcome to the Great Northlands Academy. Please tell me your name and preferred uniform size, dear."
>>175077
"…Thanks a ton guys…"
"Next time keep it down, you make sleeping hard"
"And that isn't all"
"…not cool man"
"Hey at least I'm honest"

"What are you talking about? If you have been exposed to magic powerful enough to show you the future, then can you not find a way to exploit this magic for Wintergrasp? Whatever your answer may be.. I will focus my efforts on the prince and the land. Gah, if only I had studied magic…"

"You sound almost exactly like your cousin all those years ago… so I'll tell you what I told him. You are not alone here. You've got countless of friends who will support you the entire way. I know this must be all weird to you and hard to grasp but I promise you that you will become a good king. I know you Frostmourn, I've seen you grow up inyo what you are today and I know that you are a good pony. I know you can do this. Now please, calm down."

You puff away from reality
Guinevere looks around, a little confused
>>175104
It is.
"Glad to have you Lila. Please sign this and your uniform will be ready in the ground floor storage room as you present this slip. Now is there anything you'd like to ask?"
>>175107
"No. He is rather rich. He simply has had not time to install windows yet, so they are boarded up for now."

Pumpkin and Nylis are there

She doesn't mind though

"Because I know that you, of any, could take my words and not deny them as foolish prophesies.
It is no magic. It is the will of the master. The god of gods. The creator."
>>175133
"Why not invite him over? I took the liberty of inspecting the mansion. It rivals the palace inside. We could maybe host a party. Like say… a costume ball. Would that make you happy, miss?"
>>175135

"Through sword and fire if I must…"
>>175170

"Hmm… yes, those two. I was refering to the lap-dog of the Prince too, the pegasus with the daggers. I still don't know his name. Those two need to stay out at all costs… and my only concer about keeping Sunrise out is because I'm afraid Frosty won't want to come inside without her.

>>175192

"Well, we will try diplomacy first. Alliances. Provinces. If all else fails, arms. But only united, can we challenge Equestria."
>>175193
He looks at you
"Well aren't you a fine example of beauty. Small size, yes? Right in here."
>>175194
"That is my duty, miss. Let Sunrise in. She is a commoner, she will not have the funds for a good outfit, and will be lost among the masses. Invite the other two as well. But omit the requirement of a costume from their invitations. Then have the guards send them away. Nopony will know to suspect anything and they will have egg on their face.
…and finally, if you are not afraid of doing some… underhooved tricks… I have one more idea."

"The creator will see this story to an end. He has many strands of fate he plays a symphony on as he weaves them into a tapestry of legend. Pick a path and stay on it, as I have. All will fall into place. You will know if you stray too far. I know I have been shown the price of… denying him."
>>175200

"Not exactly. We will try our best to avoid conflict and ally whoever is willing. If they don't want this then clearly they are opposed to the idea of a united North. A npn-united North will stand no chance against Equestria. If they are too ignorant and stubborn to acknowledge this then we'll have no choice but to force our hoof."

He digs out a small potion from the trunk
"A poison. In large doses, it kills outright. But dilute a dash into a glass, and all you get is confusion, disorientation and heightened emotions. You could simply give it to the prince, but that would be suspicious. Instead, we can poison all the food and drink. So slowly, all present will feel the effects, save for you. And then all you need to do is take him, and… well, you know what you want of him when you get him alone. The mansion is big, You will have privacy."
>>175201
"Well, I think this is enough magic for today after… one more trial."

"I see you have read of him. Yes. Timewarden Starswirs. He is but one pony, the same way every grain of sand in an hourglass is but one grain of sand. He exists a thousand times in every blink of an eye. He resides beyond time and is said to have seen and experiences every moment there has ever been a million times over."

He does nothing off-colour. Well, nothing worth telling him off over.
"You should know the prince himself studies here. Hard to miss, he has a solid iron leg."

Two soldiers walk out, one stallion, one mare.
"Right. Combat theory. Listen up, short lesson but easy to miss. This can save your life in battle so pay some damn attention and take your eyes off whoever you have them set on."
"In combat, it is important to keep yourself protected. Though instinct will draw you to guard your most vital points, it is important to remember that even a non-lethal hit can lead to a slow and painful death over time."
"Lesson one - correct use of a shield. Never underestimate a shield. Someone tries to hit you with a sword?"
The female instructor swings at him
"Block it with a shield"
He blocks
"Someone tries to grab you?"
She goes for a grab
"Push them away with a shield"
He demonstrates
"Someone tries to tell you a sword is more important than a shield?"
She opens her mouth
"Smash them with a shield"
He bashes her in the jaw, sending a tooth flying.
"Any questions so far?"
He hisses in pain
"Oh shut it you patronizing witch… gah my head…"
Sunrise rushes to comfort him
"oh no… your pretty wings…"
"D-dont worry… I can make more… agh…"

"I see you have read of him. Yes. Timewarden Starswirs. He is but one pony, the same way every grain of sand in an hourglass is but one grain of sand. He exists a thousand times in every blink of an eye. He resides beyond time and is said to have seen and experiences every moment there has ever been a million times over."
>>175267
He does nothing off-colour. Well, nothing worth telling him off over.
"You should know the prince himself studies here. Hard to miss, he has a solid iron leg."
>>175268
"In two nights time at the earliest, miss. We should decorate. And you need to write invitations. Not to mention pick an outfit."

After putting on the uniform and putting back my normal clothes to my pack, I head out of the changing room and give him a deadpan stare.
"Eeh? Amuse me not please. I may be new here but the prince studying here is too farfetch. I mean I imagine a fellow like him is home studied by scholars and such."

"Yes miss"
The tailor is having tea
"Greetings dear lady. Did you enjoy the dress?"
>>175285
"Say hello to Private Chat here. He has a marefriend who is like the ninth sky. He is also here to tell you all about the vital points of a pony, and how armour has been designed to protect them.
Aaaand BEGIN."
>>175286
"All will be known in time. If this is all you can take for now, then it shall be all. Good day to you."
>>175287
"Well I'm glad we have SOMEPONY here who cares. Ok, magic users should rely on smaller shields. They are less cumbersome and get in the way less when trying to channel the winds of magic. Now for offensive use, put some SPIKES on a shield. Bam. Now it pierces AND bashes. Double the hurt, same amount of effort. Win win. For defense, get a Greatshield. Tall as a pony, wide as a buffalo. Guards your front and makes it so wide you don't need to guard your sides! What more could you ask for?"
>>175288
Sunrise pets his head
"He means well miss Venia, don't be mad…"
He is just trying to cope with the headache in silence.
>>175297
"Well he gets to bend the rules and has a private magic tutor, but he still hangs around here and eats with us and all. Many of the students are his friends. Or so I hear. I'm not the… popular type."

>>175298
"Well he's going to have to endure a little more than just a headache."
I sigh and look around the are
"I guess that'll be all for now. If you have any questions then just come to me and I'll address them. Sunrise, if you're interested in learning how to use magic then you can always come by and ask. Same applies to you Valnia. Have a fun day."
I walk off towards the castle, let's go find Unyielding

The male instructor smacks her with a shield again
"Not a single damn thing. Dual shields are even better!"
>>175304

I then arrange my pack. "Well I am going to the dorm then to get my items unpack and stored. See you around." I then see if I remember correctly and go to the dorm.

Great.
"Yeah, amor right.
You got big and small of all kind.
Commander Bossy here, he's wearing heavy armor. Standard issue for all you future soldiers of Wintergrasp."
Tap on it
"Bulky, you can't stand upright, and makes a lot of noise. But will deflect a sword hit two times out of three and send you home with a bruise instead of one hoof less."
"It's daddy is superheavy, those armors are like, walking castles with walls and towers and archers too, because if you are strong enough to wear it you are strong enough to take three other ponies on your back and still run ten laps around the training fields."
Pace back and forth for a moment
"And in both of those, you are a crab! A walking chest waiting to be split open by a skillfull strike at the joints!
So don't get too comfy in there, because a good shot with an arrow, a magic strike of lightning and you are fried.
Also, daggers are great to maim limbs off somepony inside one of those."
"Then light armor, neither hay nor candy, usually leather and so on.
Trackers and rangers love those, the layers of leather do a real good job at stopping the arrows and the small weapons, saving you from the problems of which above."
"Mages usually want to wear nothing but some clothing thou, since armor might slow them down when casting."
smirk now
"And then, there's the most important armor of them all! No armor!
Like this, you are as agile as you can be, silent and deadly, ready to strike down on your enemies from the shadows!"
Stealth to demonstrate

Lets try finding that right dorm again.
>>175319
"Hmm hmm hmm… what about a creature of myth and legend? A graceful phoenix? A spooky ghost? A powerful Alicorn?"
>>175320
"Well armour is mostly just weird-shaped shields strapped to you."
>>175323
"WHOA! Oh! Oh hey honey. I was just making sure none of these were trapped or anything."
>>175325
Both instructors give an approving smile
"Good job kid. You know this stuff. Feel free to take the rest of class off. Full marks to you."
"Indeed. Go on, you deserve it. I ain't even gonna demonstrate on you like I thought. Run along."

"Well you next then, little miss ha ha. Weak points on the equine body. GO."
>>175331
He digs out a big book and starts flipping pages
"Well let's see here… Old Queen Aurora of Wintersgrasp, known for beauty and majesty / The Windigo, a spirit of the cold north, graceful and deadly / A snowolf, a symbol of stealth, mystery and strength / The Lady of Frost, elemental lord of water and ice with a heart of ice… Anything you like yet?"

The prince and Sunrise are on a cliff outside school.

"Yeah, I know all about that. The points are the joints, you take out a pony's joints, they can't move, and they can't fight back. The soft belly is very venerable if you can get to it. The neck is a large weak point in its self, just look at how hard it is to defend.." I draw pictures to go along with what I am saying on the chalk board. '1d10'

"Hmp. Get back to your seat."
>>175342
You light a huge boulder and laugh a little
Unyielding is visible scared by this

He shrugs with a smile and leads you to the correct dorm, then opens the door for you
"…may I come in?"

The prince groans and piles snow on his head
Sunrise pats him
"Frosty had a little miscast…"
>>175346
"Not bad."
The female instructor takes the chalk and draws a few more circles and arrows
"Major blood vessels flow through these points. If punctured, death by bloodloss is almost inevitable. Here are the major organs, and directions they are most vulnerable from. Again. Take a bad hit there and it is all over. And if all else fails just hit 'em here."
She draws one last arrow which draws some giggles from the students
The male instructor looks at the board, then her
"…yeah whatever. I'm not demonstrating that.
If there are no questions, class dismissed."

Quickly drop it back to the ground

[Your Grace Prince Frostmourn of Wintersgrasp
Your regal presence is lovingly requested at a costumed ball on the eve of the full moon at the estate of Prima Donna of Rosefall.
Dress with regality befitting thine status, to dazzle all present as you are so often fond to do.
Yours, the awaiting hostess Prima Donna]

He pings one sword away, does a spin and deflects another, catches the third, sidesteps the fourth and…
KABOOM
The last sword explodes
Coughing and spitting some metal shards, Unyielding laughs
"HA! I knew that bastard had boobytrapped one! ow…"
>>175468
Two more shadows drop in
"Close the book and slide it over, bladeling. This is no longer a game."

"Yes, all as planned, all as planned. I found the trapped sword before a student got hurt after all."
He is kinda bleeding.

"Pirma, she's just a little rich girl who thinks she's all that. She's in love with the prince, kind of delusional." I mime crazy with my hooves and spin my eyes a little bit for extra effect.

I raise an eyebrow, as well as my voice.
"What do you mean like really friends? Are you saying we weren't friends? That we never laughed together and everything? Did our friendship and the time we spent together mean nothing to you? You'll not only just turn my back on me but betray me by teaming up with those ponies who smack-talk me constantly?"
I let out a huff.
"I guess what they said about zebras is true. They can't be trusted with anything."

"No, I don't want you to take me back or anything. I'm much better off with a group of friends who won't sell me out like a cheap toy, or tell me to get lost when I mess up. No, they actually help me out when I make a mistake, and would never dream of making me do those things." I glare hard at you to show how serious I am. "Friends don't hurt each other like that. I have true Homies now. I don't want to be your hollar back gal."

"So you had a little break? And how long until your basic little instincts kick back in and you rush into the changing room of the bucks again? Or do you think your new friends are keeping you around for you 'company'?"
I laugh again.
"Don't make me laugh, they'll just fuck you and then throw you away like a stained rag."

"Nevermind the cold.
As for the mishap, I was caught dozing off in Sergeant Shieldbash's theory class, and told to explain why armour was so important in battle. Well of course I know why it is, but then he told me to explain the theory aspects and after I made some shit up, his co-instructor just snuck up and whacked me in the crotch saying "that's one reason". Now this would've been no big deal - except I'm supposed to be a damn stallion. So. I think that's supposed to hurt. And then I had to fake a late pain reaction as everyone stared and it was so close to blowing my cov- STOP SNICKERING."

They've yet to send an assassin in person, have they?"

Believe it or not, it is said that physical gods are the rulers of Equestria, possessing terrible magic artifacts… the only way to counter that would be to build up our own strength, to research and develop magic technology for ourselves to counter them. And.. you're the only one I know who can do this, I've seen your skill, even if it has brought some of us misfortune.

"I was born with nothing. No home, no friends, not even parents.
I survived for years in the freezing winds of the lower city. In the slums, the bug-ridden streets were my home.
I don't fear pain, because I was born into it.
And then, I went soft. I met the Prince. Valnia. Verne. Miss Venia. Medve.
They gave me a place to stay, swept far my young life of sorrow.
I still can't understand how such a luck fell upon me. From beign one nameless scoulder on the street, to one of the closest friends of the Prince.
I had forgotten everything. No more pain, no more shouts, no more sounds of broken glasses.
And then they killed Medve. Right there in front of my eyes. And why couldn't I help? Because I had blacked out from the pain, the equestrian assassin overtaking me in a fight.
And then I realized just how wrong what ponies call 'pain' is.
It's not the burning flesh. Is not the broken nose or the smashed bone.
Is the searing sensation of the heart, the knoledge you could have done something, but didn't.
So no, Shadow Song. I don't fear pain. Not anymore."

She smacks you in the junk, making you let out a high-pitched squeak

"Cloth. And. Sticks.
And the armour is genuine. There might even still be some stains on the inside."
>>178449
"Perfect! I might even have some stuff your size ready to go"
She digs around a bit and finds a (my roll)/10 princess dress
>>178452
"Well, it is a place I feel comfortable in. Like a home away from home. And you wanted to see places that were special to me, did you not? But the best part is up there."
He points up the ladder
>>178451
She stops you half way
"Nah. Stick around as Verne for a sec. I kinda like him too."
She snickers a bit
"Nice frills. Where'd you get those from your mom?"
>>178453
She peeks out from under the pillow
"I bet you think it's kinda sad I resort to that. I imagine you never get that lonely…"
She levitates a book over to the pillow.

"You flatter me, lady Battleborn. I trust you want to pay for it now?"
>>178473
You neatly split into two, stepping to the side to shut the curtains
"Oh! The good part of improvisation is that you never know what to expect. Do you know what the most important part of improvising is, by the way?"
>>178476
Her ears droop
"O-oh… I-I'm sorry I didn't know… C'mere. Let me hug the pain away… shh… it's ok… let it all out…"

He pokes it open
"Go ahead. Take a look."
>>178489
She takes out her white bow and a single long, jagged arrow, as well as the book
She opens the book, reads a few passages in silence, sighs and throws it into the fire
>>178490
"Well don't just leave me hanging! C'mon did you ask me here just so we could read and not even talk about stuff in private? I bet you use magic to do it."

She thinks for a moment and does some counting, before looking at you

"You're sobbing all over me about trouble at home while your junk is trying desperately escape from a frilly pair of panties never designed for a stallion's pride. And you're saying I'm the one who needs help?"
She loves your hooves onto the straps of her uniform
"Well help me out of these damn pants first"
>>178497
She lays down and stretches her legs as it does
"…the most important thing is… whatever your partner does… always go with it. That way the story can flow freely… Mmm~ I like this idea, for instance…"

Slowly undo her clothes.
"It's all over you, in everything you do. You're the one who can't stand to be who you are and want to become someone else, no matter how much it hurts you. I dress like this because I enjoy, not because I feel like I need to hide from myself. It hurts you, doesn't it?"
When I'm finished stripping her down:
"There. Doesn't it feel better, just leaving yourself like this?"

"Never figured a good way for that. So I stuck with the more… traditional ideas."
She absentmindedly turns a page
>>178505
She stands up and fires the arrow into the burning book, creating a billowing explosion of purple smoke and dancing shadows
"When I was small, I remember my mother singing to me. She sang of how I should embrace every day and sleep well every night, for sorrow and death could come any day. But I cannot remember her face. Or even her name. For she, too, was a shadow of the crown."

"I feel damn naked is how I feel. And what kind of psyco-analyzing are you trying to do here? I pretend to be a stallion because frankly I look like one, act like one and sound like one. Heck my dad would probably have preferred if I was one. Now at least have the courtesy to keep me warm if you insist on stripping me down."

"The same sort I do to a lot of ponies. Part of what I do is analyse them, find out their weaknesses so I can exploit them to control them or otherwise crush them. Of course, I don't want to do any of that to you, but it's still useful skill…"
"Just tell me honestly. Are you perfectly fine with all this, everything you have to do? You only sound like one because of that throat infection you have, probably induced it yourself… you only act like one because you've forced yourself to, not necessarily because you enjoy it. And.. well, looking like one is subjective, not something the work of a skilled beautician can't mask. Answer me honestly, and I won't ask again."
After my next post I'll be going to bed, I'm ded

With no home, no friends and no money to my name, I lived off the streets until he found me. And he took me in. He gave me a place to sleep, warm meals and all the love he could offer.

"I was born in Hardflank, probably the worst cesspool in the entire Northlands. Father was often away on business, and sometime he wouldn't eve be able to come back in time with money. Mother, she had to do some… unspeakable things just to keep me fed. Things changed when father finally managed to get us into Wintergrasp, it's not the most prosperous land, but it was better, and worthy of being called a home. We were treated fairly here, and our fortunes were finally looking up. That's when, as a foal, I decided I would serve the land by becoming a helper of Prince Frostmourn, though now I've grown to like him personally as a friend…
I had my talents. I was good at lying, sneaking around, sneaky stuff, you could imagine the sort of stuff I helped the prince out with as kids, heh. Like that one time he met Sunrise, his special somepony, and I saw them… fall in love right there. I was jealous, I wanted to know what it was like, until recently where I just broke and, well, started dressing like this.
And here's where you come into the picture. I've always planned schemes to help the prince, no matter the cost to myself. I've engineered betrayals, damaged things.. well, whatever he wanted that I could agree with. I never once thought of myself, until.. you. It was only when I met you that I started thinking about myself. If something happened to me.. then I wouldn't be able to be here for you.
Well, that's it for my rambling. You can tell me as much or as little as you want."

I'm just missing the equipment. So they raised me as a bit of a tomboy at first, and then as a straight up son. I always thought it was normal. So I wore boy clothes and did boy things. But I never really felt like I fit in with anyone. I came here to study the art of war and combat, so I could join the guard and be a soldier like they wanted me to be. And I'm lucky I did.

I look away from him for a moment, hiding my blushing cheeks from him and pondered, even though he looks rubbish he do got the courage to say something.. like that.

Okay….
"A… are you cold? You can come and s.. share this quilt w.. with me." I raise the quilt, inviting him.

"That's where all those like us go in the end, isn't it? Just wanting to be forever forgotten. But you are a great soul, Song.
Takes a strong will to survive all that. A lesser pony would have been broken."
Get back on my hooves
"I know you'll never do it. Never come back, live with normal ponies again.
But you should. Slowly, maybe, you could even like yourself again."

He smiles warmly and snuggles in next to you
The sun is setting
"You know… I have come here to watch the sunset often. But today… it feels warmer."
>>178580
"In these broken lands? No. I prefer my woods. I do not want to be another knife to be passed around from back to back in some court of rich fools. No king is worth coming back to. At least… none that rule today."
>>178583
"It just feels weird and unnatural when I try magic. Lack of precision control maybe. Too jerky and sharp, you know. Bedposts are much nicer."

Smirk at her
"Not today, no. But we already know how this is going to end, don't we?"
Start making my way back home
"And if you don't care for ponies, don't care for this land.. Know at least this. I care for you, Shadow Song.
Might they say what they want, you are neither a monster nor a blade.
A fool maybe, but not a monster, not the you I know."
Yeah, I'd better get home.

"Maybe I am. Maybe I'm just an eager gal. Ever thought of that?"
She tried nudging you with her magic.
>>178599
>>178603
"Oh dear. Well. Looks like I still have a few things to teach…"
>>178605
"Go in peace and enjoy your party. But come back smelling of wine and I'm making sure you don't fly for a week!"
Hmm… I wonder what awaits back home
>>178606
"It is not as cold as the hearts of some ponies. And the view alone makes up for it. Then, what do I need a view for now? I can just turn my head and look at you."
Roll #0 6 = 6

"…Stormcloak? What, like how you're saving this pretty little hole for the Prince, right?"
She grabs your tail with magic and lifts your butt up with it

Unyielding clears his throat
"So, the first thing for today's lesson will be… get outta here and enjoy the day. You did well enough. Go on. Get!"
>>178628
"Yeah. Well no. I'm stating rather clearly. You are very pretty."
>>178635
"What's the matter telebutt? Ask me over and then don't even want to spend with me? Tsk tsk, I might as well have stayed in my own dorm in that case~"

"That was simple. I mean like derpa derpa derr simple."
"And now for-"
"-desert"
>>178647
You can fit in there if you get snug
She just softly sleeps there. Poor thing must have been really tired
>>178651
You pull her face first out of bed and onto the floor
"Ow… you'll pay for that telebutt!"

He sighs and looks at the sunset
"…no girl has ever said that to me before…"
A single tear swiftly rolls down his cheek

"Heeeeey! HEY! Kya! NO FAIR!"
Her mouth says no
Just about everything else says yes
A lot
>>178680
No…
No…
nah…
too common…
boring…
doesn't suit her…
YES. This is it. This is the one. Facta maculæ - the Ghostblossom. During the day, it looks like a blade of grass, but at night, it opens up into a beautiful, pale bloom.
Snipping it quickly, you preserve the blossoming state, and hurry it back into the mane of your beloved.
Such a gift not many know exist, and even of those, few could give it.
>>178682
"I'd love to."
He holds the hatch open for you
"Oh and… Lila… thank you. And welcome to our land and school."
>>178683
Nope.
No Nylises here.
Just a pair of big pegasi winking at you.
HOW HARD IS MAGNA GOING TO GET RAILED?
WILL NYLIS EVER PLAY FAIR?
WILL PUMPKIN GET HIS REPUTATION POINT BACK?
WILL LILA EVEN MEET THE PRINCE?
WILL VERNE BECOME A GIRL FOR REAL ONCE UNYIELDING PUTS TWO AND TWO TOGETHER?
AND WHAT ABOUT THE BALL! YOU NEED COSTUMES!
Also there was something about assassins and politics and uniting the north to face equestria bla bla bla you just want to pretend horse sex with your waifus don't you.
Until next time everyone.
