- >When the princess gets within hearing distance of you to, every guard in the area turns to face her
- >Now that the pink unicorn/pegasus is closer, you can see that she isn't happy
- >When she finally lands, she shouts, scaring off her little escort group
- CHRYSALIS! HOW DARE YOU!
- >She didn't even return formalities
- >She must be pissed
- >You turn to the queen, but she isn't paying attention to anything other than the pink princess, as is she
- Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, what have you come here for?
- >She glares at her in disbelief
- DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME!
- >She shouts again, her voice echoing across he lands
- >At least, that's how loud it sounds
- How dare you steal the crystal shard?!
- >A split second of silence reigned
- I don't know what you are talking about
- >That's when Cadenza's horn flashed pink, and a bubble surrounds her
- >The two of you actually
- >It seems that you are the only one concerned, however
- >The princess and the queen started arguing with each other, an payed you no mind
- >You run your hand across it's surface
- >You are met with an odd resistance, feeling solid and smooth, yet not fully solid
- >Like a force field
- >Probably what it is, actually
- >As you run your hand over it's inner surface again, something happens
- >You feel something else, but it isn't the shield
- >Running on instinct, you sort of reach out to it
- >Suddenly something clicks
- >You know...
- >With a thought, you reach out to the shield
- >As soon as you touch it, something happens
- >It turns from pink to a balanced mix of blue-green
- >Then it warps itself, going from a bubble surrounding you, to a large wall, to a bubble surrounding the princess
- >Both Chrysalis and Cadenza stop mid sentence
- >They turn to you, mouths agape
- >You capitalize on this opportunity
- As I understand it, there seems to be a misunderstanding
- >Chrysalis is staring at you in wonder, and the princess is stammering
- Wh...How... What are you??
- >She stutters at you
- >You ignore her for the moment and turn to chrysalis
- Do you really not know what she's talking about?
- >She shakes her head in response
- >You release your concentration and the bubble crumbles into nothing as you turn to face the princess
- It is my understanding that a princess represents her empire
- >She stops murmuring to herself long enough to nod at you
- Well then, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, would you care to tell me what exactly you are accusing Queen Chrysalis of?
- >You make sure to emphasize the formal titles
- >Despite being clearly bewildered, the pink princess rights herself to a much more proper stance
- Well, um...
- >You fill in for her
- Anon
- >She nods
- Well Sir Anon, I am here because your queen has stolen a priceless artifact that holds great power
- >You raise an eyebrow at being called her subject, but you let it slide
- And you believe it to be the queen because...?
- >She gives you a look
- Who else could it be? I tracked it down to a changeling base in the everfree, but it was destroyed by a hydra by the time I arrived
- >Wait
- >A hydra?
- >Chrysalis shares locks eyes with you, and you can tel she's thinking the same thing
- Correct me if I'm mistaken, but a hydra is a creature with multiple heads, some of which may spew fire, and each with black eyes and razor sharp teeth, yes?
- >This time Princess Cadenza speaks up
- Black? A hydra's eyes glow green
- >...
- >Wat
- >Then the thing that attacked you
- >...
- >Both of them look to you
- >What are you, a diplomat?
- >Well, actually, maybe this counts
- Chrysalis, is there somewhere more relaxed we can discuss this?
- >Before you can answer, Princess Cadenza pipes up
- >I know the perfect place
- >Before anyone can react, you feel something change
- >Like a tension building in the air
- >Suddenly, just like with the bubble, it clicks
- >You're being tele-
- *FLASH*
- >-ported
- >The three of you are now in what appears to be a library
- >It seems to be built entirely out of crystal
- Stay here a moment
- >Cadenza says, and you hear her hoofsteps go into a main room
- >Chrysalis nudges you out of your awed state
- I did not know you could use magic like that. What other secrets are you hiding?
- >She sounds pretty serious, but she looks really nervous
- I didn't know i could do magic at all
- >You earnestly reply
- >You are actually pretty surprised when you did it
- >It was like you acted on a reflex, and you instinctively knew how it was done
- Don't play games with me Anon
- >She replies with a tone full of warning
- >Shit she sounds mad
- >But you told the truth
- Relax, cheese legs. I'm telling the truth
- >The look on her face from that remark is absolutely priceless
- >Pure comedic rage
- >You chuckle at her expense, and it only seems to worsen her mood
- >Before she could do anything to you, Princess Cadenza walks back in with a cup of tea for everyone and a large book
- >Chrysalis opts to give you a death glare instead
- >You smirk at her and turn your attention to Cadenza
- I'll begin with the history of the crystal shard. It was back when....
- >You each take a sip of your tea (quite tasty, actually) and listen patiently
