((Theme of this thread: Earth Pony Pride!)) Icefox was not the only one fighting the Cockatrices with his eyes closed. Noblesse, relying on his earth pony Intuition manages to STRONG stomps his fair share of the beasts. With a loud snap the spines of each of the creatures he stomps on shatter, all while he dances around the pegasus' comparatively crude rip off of the Earth Pony specialty. “Well now, that was an adequate warm-up,” Noblesse says rolling his shoulders, then looking over at Obsidian, “Ah, yes, hello good sir. Hrm, I am sorry to say this, but you really should have been freed long ago, I have no clue why you weren’t. The year is currently 5150 AR, and as for my dear Aunt Celestia, well, she is currently.... indisposed. Though, even is she wasn’t, just who are you to demand an audience from the Princess of the Sun, hm?” Edited by Queshire, Aug 7 2012, 05:07 PM.

Gryilldae flickered back to his basic form. Then, realizing he was with an ancient and disoriented prisoner, he shifted into the shape of Serif Font, banking on the unicorn's distraction with Noblesse having prevented Obsidian from noticing his rapid formshifts. "It would be more accurate to say she is missing. Luna currently holds the throne in her absence." He glanced back at the Kirin and other pegasus in the room, before turning his eyes toward the released pony. Of course he saw the signs of some sort of warrior, but he was unsure as to what his crime might have been. "If I may suggest, the area around us is surrounded by wild woods and, unfortunately, dangerous monsters. Shall we agree that you will not attempt to attack us prior to our leaving the forest?" |

Icefox glanced up when the last sounds of the monsters were gone, and after a quick check around he snapped the blood off his whip and coiled it into it's holder on his belt. It was only then that he realized that the crystal had contained a real pony, and he figured it would be best to simply answer his questions. "The year is fifty-one fifty, this entire city has been deserted for the better part of a millenium, and we have no idea where Celestia is. Now, who are you, and why are you here?" |

Obsidian snorted at the male Pegasus and the Earth Pony with the multicolored mane that had addressed him. "You're damn right I should have been freed long ago! I shouldn't have been imprisoned in the first place!" When the stallion had asked him just who he was to ask for an audience, he narrowed his eyes at him. "Who am I? Who am I?! I am Obsidian Blade, Captain in the Equestrian Royal Army, and leader of the 99th Unicorn Platoon during the Great Gryphon War of 494! I killed well over two hundred Gryphons in the defense of Everfree City! I am he who is known as Gryphonsbane!" He glared at the Earth Pony stallion, then to the multiple pegasi in the room, then to the Kirin, and finally, locked his eyes on the strange pony that he had sworn had fangs and bug wings a moment ago, over four thousand years worth of anger radiating off of him. "... Now who in Tartarus are all of you?" Edited by That_Little_Twerp, Aug 7 2012, 04:24 PM.

"We are the ponies who found a soldier imprisoned for reasons unknown and discovered he was displaced five millennia. At this point, our primary concern is ensuring said soldier does not go off into a world he has no familiarity with and cause massive damage to both himself and society as a whole." Serif Font's delivery was entirely deadpan. "If you're looking for a more specific form of identification, we are what the common pony refers to as treasure hunters, archaeologists, adventurers... I will assume you have gathered our intent. As you have no doubt noticed, the city is no more. Please, ask further questions so we may elucidate you." |

((Note: In case you don’t know, The House of the Rising Sun is the, non-canon, name for Celestia’s bloodline)) Noblesse glares at the pegasi and changeling as they just spill, admittedly poorly kept, national secrets to someone that had obviously committed a horrendous enough crime to get him sealed away. At Obsidian’s words though, comprehension suddenly dawns on Noblesse’s face. “Ah, I know who you are now! You’re the Black Knight! My nanny used to tell me your story when I was young! Yeah, that was a classic. The heroic knight who sets out to defend his homeland, but during his quest to save his homeland his pure and noble heart slowly gets corrupted by the very force he fights against. Now, of course the ending differs from telling to telling, in some stories he gets redeemed, in others not. In any case, the moral of the story as I saw it at least, was to not become so wound up in your beliefs that you can’t conceive of the idea that you might be wrong.” “Ah! Please forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Noblesse Oblige,” He says giving a flourishing bow, “Duke of Sleipnirheim, captain of the guard though I am currently on voluntary leave, guildmaster of the guild of archives and records, and descendant of the House of the Rising Sun,” |

//I don't know you guys... I hold off posting so Icefox can post, and then you go and skip me// Moon Chaser picked herself up off the floor and tried her best to remove the dust and dirt, only succeeding in working it further into her off-white coat "Thank you Mitsi," she smiled at the Kirin before turning to the recently freed pony "You know, in the last four and a half millenia we've had a little invention called politeness, even if it is catching on slow amongst some ponies. Really, you'd expect a captain in the 99th, who you'll be happy to know are still serving with distinction as the hammers of retribution, to show a little more decorum. Especially after knocking a mare onto her rear." She rubbed her flank absently while gesturing round the room "Anyway what my protean friend, You can call him Gryilldae, on account of it being his name, what he means is that we're tomb robbers. Ponies of fortune, if you will." Moon thought for a bit "I suppose he's kind of a prince, duke Nobelesse already introduced himself, and with great distinction, this rather well mannered Kirin to my left is Mitsugi-sama, who is something of a professional monster hunter. No doubt explaining the corpses. The large dragon behind me, who can actually get larger, is Prince Anduriel; youngest child of the dragon queen Ishtakhriot. Like yourself we found him in the remains of this not-as-dead-as-advertised city. That leaves the pegasus behind me, Icefox, who is the professor of history and archeology at Canterlot University. Canterlot being the new seat of power in Equestria. And myself, Moon. That I'm leading two princes a duke and a professor of archeology in a tomb raiding expedition should tell you everything you need to know about both myself and the state of the nobility." She gave an elegant bow "So now we're all introduced. I don't know why you where imprisoned, nor do I care. The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. As long as you're not gonna pose a threat to no-pony. Now we'll be happy to escort you safely to civilization for the low, low price of you helping to carry the sack o' loot." She broke into a broad smile "Despite Gryllies claims, it does not have a large bit sign drawn on the side, but there's some chalk in amongst the supplies if you want to amuse- hey, the crystal shards from his prison are still littering the floor. Gal will give a good price for these!" Moon hovered off the floor careful to avoid the blood, while she collected up what she could of the crystal. |

Mitsugi gave Obsidian a deadpan look, before turning back to Moon Chaser and offering his hoof to help her up. Beings like Obsidian simply annoyed him. Arrogant and cocky to no end, Believing that something made them better than others... It was what made him so annoyed with nobles- most of them were that way; it was grating, it was foolish, and it was one of the few things that could actually aggravate Mitsugi. Luckily, devouring the cockatrice had helped, and he was no longer borderline rage driven anymore so he could take this no problem. Mitsugi instead ignored the warrior and helped Moon collect the shards of crystal from the floor. |

Icefox nodded as he was introduced, although Anduriel had one thing to point out. "I'm not actually her youngest, anymore. There are two more that have been born since I was, and I heard that she has another litter on the way." He settled back and began carving another gemstone out of the wall, tossing it into the sack while Icefox did the talking. "No doubt, the government will want to talk to you. After all, there was probably some reason that you were stuck inside that thing, and even barring that you could be a potential health risk. Viruses we don't have an immunity to anymore and such. So, yeah. Just come back to the surface and we can take you to the capitol to get checked out." |

Obsidian let out a low whistle. It seemed that he was woken up by a rather... interesting bunch, to say the least. A Duke, (and a descendant of Celestia herself no less!) a PEGASUS scholar, (which was quite the surprise to him; most pegasi he knew weren't exactly the bookish sort.) a tomb raider, a monster hunter, and the son of the Queen of the Dragons. "Seems I'm in the company of some interesting ponies..." he turned to Anduriel, offering him a slight bow. "... and one VERY interesting dragon." "While I do have more questions about the current state of Equestria, I think it can wait until we're a sufficient distance from... that." he said, gesturing towards the practically-picked-clean cockatrice corpses. Turning to the one who introduced herself as "Moon", he offered her an apologetic smile. "I'll... gladly... carry your 'loot' for you, but if it's really been as long as everypony's said it's been, I doubt you'll find anything else here. Not much treasure one could find down here, in what basically amounts to a prison." He trotted over to the admittedly large looking bag, and hefted it over his shoulders with little to no issues. It was a little heavier than his old sword, but it wasn't cumbersome in the slightest, thankfully. "... But if you manage to find any sort of large sword or something, I'd like to keep it for myself, if that's alright. Call me crazy, but I'd be more comfortable if I had a weapon to protect myself in case something else were to happen." Edited by That_Little_Twerp, Aug 9 2012, 01:32 AM.

"With all due respect, I would rather keep you unarmed. You were imprisoned for some reason, be it factual crime or political intrigue, and you admit to being a warrior. If you can trust us to escort you to civilization, we will ensure you are properly equipped once we arrive." Gryilldae flicked his wings. "You are, of course, free to 'escape our bounds' and get lost in a foreign time. I am certain such an act would only end favorably." |

“Will you give us your parole that you will not attack any of us, and will accompany us to Canterlot to undergo examination and temporal rehabilitation services? If so, then I am sure we will be able to work something out. Considering the type of creatures that make the wilder reaches of the Everfree their home, it would be best if everypony was able to defend themselves” Noblesse says, studying Obsidian with a glance, “Though, that said, considering how long you’ve been imprisoned and how long Everfree City has been abandoned, any mundane weapons have surely fallen prey to rust and age.” “Now then, I think we should go..... this way,” Noblesse says picking a hallway out of the room at random, relying on his Intuition to choose the path with the most loot. |

Mitsugi shook his head, gathering up the last few shards of crystal and slipping them into the bag that Moon was using to hold them. He turned to follow the others, lightly flicking Moon with a wing. "Well then, shall we?" he asked, still ignoring Obsidian. |

Moon poked her tongue out at Mitsi's good natured teasing and flashed him a good humored smile, before returning to address the new-comer. "Well we've already picked over the surface, but where else is better to hide your treasure when your abandoning the city than a subterranean Prison." She looked up and followed Lesse, one way was as good as another and it wouldn't pay to be split up down here. "As for your crimes, they where five millenia ago. I mean... yeah... technically I may have accidentally unleashed war on Equestria last time I freed a pony from the Everfree, but as long as you don't cause any trouble I'm content to treat you like any other pony. I mean, we're hardly defenseless here. Just, y'know, don't invade Equestria, kidnap the princess and plunge us into perpetual twilight. Oh and kill ponies I care about. It would look bad if I made the same mistake twice, no offense Gryll, and you'd only regret it. Briefly." Moon paused momentarily, "Probably." the word held and icey promise, clearly a commentary on the length, not the likelihood, of his remorse. "Still, I've developed a frightful habit of sticking my neck out for my friends, and I am a very friendly pony. So I hope that you'll prove to be a very friendly pony too." |

"I do loathe your attempts at sarcasm. I thought I would let you know that." said Obsidian, glaring at the tan Pegasus. He Turned his attention once more to the Earth Pony noble and nodded. "I give everypony my word as a Captain in the Equestrian Army that you shall all remain unharmed, and I will willingly accompany you to this... 'Canterlot'." Noblesse's observation that any normal weaponry might be useless by now hadn't gone unnoticed, fortunately. "Well, be that as it may," he said, a smile on his face. "A large majority of the Equestrian army's weaponry are anything but 'Mundane'. A Captain in the army would often have a preservation spell cast on their weapons and armor, to help keep them in working order. Excellent deterrent against chips, cracks, and warping. Still doesn't stop them from getting dirty, sadly." He paused, shifting the bag around a bit as he followed behind the Duke. "Of course, depending on the caster, the spell could last a few months, a few days, or a few years. It's all relative, really." He turned his head towards the "Moon" mare, shrugged. "I suppose you could say that. I'm not the kind of pony to actively try and make friends, but I had quite the reputation for placing the lives of my comrades before my own. Got a majority of my scars that way. See that scar along the back of my neck? Nearly got myself beheaded trying to break some POWs out of a poorly fortified Gryphon encampment. Was gonna be executed as an example. Of course, the rest of the 99th wasn't going to have any of that, no sir. Ended up calling that little skirmish 'The Battle of Eaglehead Rock'. Got my arse chewed out by Ol' Red for gettin' myself captured so easily. Gave me one doozy of a shiner. Can't say I didn't deserve it though." Obsidian laughed, the memories rushing to the surface like a geyser, which quickly died back down as he reminded himself that nopony would know what he would be talking about, what with it being over 4500 years ago. |
