Rogue Fire wrote:"Yep. Funny thing is, that was all part of the same mish where I was working as a bodyguard for that aristocratic family I mentioned. You know, the ones who taxidermied their dead relatives." Rogue chuckles "Well, once their mountain castle did what mountain castles do in this genre, burn down, and I got back to civilisation, I found out that the whole family i'd just been working for had died out centuries ago, in a fire at their castle home which was of course now an ancient ruin. And to top it all off, in the end I didn't even get paid!"
"Wicked" Eva said, staring at you in awe.
Rogue Fire wrote:"How behind schedule are we by the way, what with the engine stall and all that?" Rogue asks.
"Not much" Kaylee looked at her wrist watch: "An hour, an hour and a half maybe"

She was quite the cutie but eventually she just dissapeared." She shrugs, "the cave still exists but the changling, her webs and captures poof... gone." Fire lets out a long sigh, "i do miss her though."
"Oh man, I'm sorry" Takeshi said, looking at her.

Blue, blonde and purple wrote:She looks at the time. "How long until that sunrise?"
"Should be any minute now. Come on" Kaylee happily waved and jumped off her chair.
As you reached the top deck, a fresh pleasant breeze from the ocean washed over you. The sky was still dark, with a few rain clouds gathering further ahead on the horizon.
Kaylee deeply inhaled and smiled: "I love this job. Never felt more free than when I sailed through the ocean"
Ashley, Harlequin, Eva, Takeshi, Johan, Penny, Madelyn, Cookie, Riza, Zoy and her dad all slowly gathered here one by one, leaning against the guard rails and looking at the horizon.
The quiet waves of the ocean peacefully washed over the hull, as the ship made its way forward. It was quiet here, soothing.
Ashley brushed her hair back and sighed: "...we don't get many moments like these lately... that's why they're so precious."
"Hey! Its about to start!" Kaylee pointed left of the bow and as you look toward her outstretched hand, you see the dark ocean suddenly painted gold, with a bright orange streak appearing over the horizon.
The sky slowly filled with bright shining gold, reflecting off the rain clouds, as the sun began to rise over the water.
It was mesmerizing.
There were no residual lights from a city, or the constant clouds of vehicular smoke that stood high in the air.
No, out here, in the middle of the ocean, nature appeared in all of its glory. The stunning gold colors of the sun, as it peaked over the endless body of water, it was breath taking.
"Wooow..." Johan quietly said, staring at it with wander.
Ash smiled: "...it was a fun ride.. wasn't it.. all things considered.." she giggled a little: "I better call Ragnveig port control, let them know we're coming"
She reached for her brick of a radio and pressed a button:
"Ragnveig, Ragnveig, this is Union Destroyer, B-031 Hyuuga, we are on approach to your port, requesting permission to dock upon arrival, over"
After a few moments, you heard static from the radio and a cheery voice responded:
"
...-Roger that Hyuuga, we're ready to receive you. Dock number 3 is empty and awaiting your arrival. See you in an hour, Hyuuga, smooth sailing"
"Roger port control" Ashley said smiling: "Keep the coffee warm"
"
You bet" the man's voice in the radio called, releasing a brief chuckle.
You noticed Kaylee subtly inching towards Twilight, as Hyuuga continued to sail, cutting through the waves of the ocean.
"Soooo Twilight" Kaylee cheerily called: "I have a.. question..... I have a serious, serious... question..." she said with a poker face, staring at the rainy clouds in the horizon:
"How are you with like uh.. conjuring magic?" she asked briefly looking at you:
"You know, lets say, an earth pony, could you conjure a pair of wings for him? In theory?"
