And here we go! Start time I just want to add that this post is only so long because I'm excited and it's sort of an introduction to my characters, you guys can post however long you want to xD The length of my posts may not be kept up - LOL. --------------------------------------- It was a crisp spring morning, about 12.30 o'clock, at the time where this adventure starts. The young and newly restored to her throne Princess Stargazer paced her apartments in the Stormhold Citadel - the home of her parents. She would not be taking the Citadel for her home once married however, instead she and her beloved would move into the recently discovered and formally abandoned ruins of the old Dream Castle in it's secluded snowy valley, which was well on the way to being rebuilt. Her father and mother would remain at Stormhold. The pure white winged unicorn was nervous, but understandably - today she would be married after all, a large jump in her life. Of course the young bride was nervous. The event would call for her to be in her natural birth form out in public, and while she didn't deny that she felt comfortable and relaxed in her true form, Stargazer had worn the guise of Storm Runner for so long that Storm Runner seemed more than just a disguise, a way to protect her. It could be said that she was still getting used to her birthright, she did after all, grow up as a pegasus and now she had been revealed to truly be a winged unicorn - Stargazer often forgot her horn existed. The few times this had happened had often been followed by her banging her horn against a low door or something. It was not only the wedding she was nervous about - she was 5 months pregnant, though her delicate white cloak and train cleverly concealed what little of her flank was showing her pregnancy. She was snapped out of her thoughts by a knock to her door, glancing at the clock she saw the time - 12.50pm. She took a moment to collect herself and opened the door, following the maid down to the chapel doors, where her mother - the Queen Riversong, straightened her tiara and veil. "Are you ready?" She asked her daughter softly, smiling. Stargazer nodded and flipped her veil delicately over her head as was the tradition of brides everywhere. "Yes mother." A deeper voice was then heard, and the young princess looked to her father Stormbolt."Then let's go." The chapel doors were pushed open, and the royal family began to proceed down the aisle to the sound of the wedding music. Stargazer mounted the dais and stood next to her lover, Moonfall. The two exchanged fond, affectionate glances, before both turning to the priest who would be conducting the ceremony. As the ceremony started, that was when it all started to go wrong. The temperature dropped a few degrees and the lights flickered a few times. Outside, the wind picked up and the sky darkened slightly, turning this beautiful spring day into one more suited for the dark and cold of winter. It was just after the exchanging of the rings that all hell broke loose - the windows shattered inwards, showering broken glass down on the guests and occupants of the small chapel, the shards twinkling like falling stars. What seemed like a brown, red and purple swirling cloud followed the glass down, forming into an almost misty fog like structure as it reached the floor, and crept along. As some ponies panicked, others took action. Moonfall and Stormbolt along with a few guards leapt in front of the priest, the princess, and the bridesmaids. Their physical presence however, would not stop the strange fog. It crept sinisterly past their legs, and since it was not a physical substance they could defend from, their planned attacks became useless. The fog was now swirling around most of the room, congealing into a thicker cloud like substance around Stargazer and a few of the guests, a pretty yellow dralicorn for one, a wise pink unicorn another. Others may have been caught up in the strange fog, but the loved ones of these targeted ponies could only watch in horror and shock as the fog seemed to swallow the surrounded ones, the first to disappear was the dralicorn, known as Sunstar, then Stargazer, and then Twilight Shine, wife of the unicorn Tornado. The fog, once it had claimed it's victims, seemed to be satisfied enough to retreat back the way it came, creeping up the walls and out of the shattered windows. Before it fully escaped however, a flash of lightning struck behind it - conjured by Stormbolt's anger and shock no doubt and fueled by the protective spells that the fog had managed to bypass. As the lightning illuminated the strange cloud-like fog, two, maybe more figures could be seen within it, grinning maliciously. One was a unicorn known well to the land - none other than the dark and twisted Wraith who had so often with the help of his now deceased parents plunged the realm into peril. The other, a strange almost pegasus, with sharp eyes and a grin just as evil as Wraith's. Almost in the blink of an eye, the two abductors in their strange fog had disappeared with their victims. Moonfall was filled with dread - Wraith had enough of a grudge against Stargazer to harm her, and he had been gunning for Moonfall himself for so long, the winged unicorn with the broken horn feared what would happen to his beloved and their foal, especially once Wraith discovered her pregnancy.

Luna was frozen in place. Had that been her trusted guard, Demonica? She stared at the spot where Sunstar had stood. "Mother?" she whispered softly, then louder, "MOTHER!" Luna looked about frantically. She wished her lifemate, Orion Pax, was at her side. He would know what to do. Luna took a deep breath. Orion was susposed to have come, but a fractured wing and pelvis had bedridden him. Luna had made Celestia swear on the Sun that she would watch over him. Even Discord had promised he would watch over Orion. Luna lifted her head. 'I have to be calm now. No more tears and panic. Mom is a big girl. She can take care of herself.' "Demonica?" when the half-blood failed to answer, Luna knew. "Why, Demonica? I trusted you!" Calming herself down, Luna walked up toward the alter. Not long ago, she had walked toward an alter toward Orion and the start of a new life. "It got my mother." Luna muttered, "Heads will roll!" reaching the Alter, Luna stopped. "I hope there is a reasonable explaination for this! Whatever that wierd mist was, it took my mother, Sunstar! I am this close to going Nightmare and I'm not happy!" She looked directly at Stormbolt, "I know my sister, Celestia, is going to be angry when she finds out what happened! So, what happened?"

Stormbolt's gaze was drawn to the blue winged unicorn who had approached, ears back but listening to her words. From her tone, and understandably so, he guessed she was as angry and confused as he and Moonfall were. "Ma'am, please show some decorum, despite the circumstances." His tone was cold and thunderous, just like the storm outside. "The other guests do not need more reason to panic. I can assure you that going Nightmare will not help the situation at all." Briefly he closed his eyes and lowered his ears, attempting to calm himself. "I apologise for my abruptness, the truth is we do not know what happened. They have not only taken your mother, they have taken my daughter as well, and believe me they shall not get out of this lightly once we find them." Stormbolt opened his eyes and looked at the mare, regretful that he had seemed abrupt and possibly rude. They were all stressed and worried of course, and biting each other's heads off would not help. "I think we had better retire to a secluded room, you and I, Moonfall and the partner of the other poor pony who was abducted. I know you recognised one of the ponies in the cloud - and we know the other. This information had better not be shared publically, for safety reasons. Might I ask you to follow me to a private room to discuss the matter?"
Moonfall however was not wanting to discuss it - he wanted to find Wraith, break off his horn, and then push the other into the Volcano of Gloom - which was now full of Smooze instead of Lava. However, Stormbolt was right - they had to create a plan of action, and he most certainly would refuse to be left behind.

(Its fine by me.)
"I agree." Luna forced herself to calm down, "I know the pegasus in the mist. Lead the way." She looked around the room, "I will have to inform Celestia, who may decide to send someone to help investigate. I just hope my Mother is okay." She sniffled softly, "I really hope that those who got taken are okay."

Tornado and Twilight Firehooves arrived by portal, and as the gate slwly opened, the two Dream Valley ponies stepped out into unfarmiliar territory.
"So this is where Princess Storm Runner lives." Tornado said looking around. "I always wondered what the kingdom your friend ruled looked like!"
"Yes!" Twilight Shine nodded. "She helped me get over my grief involving drummer's death, and I just couldn't miss out on hger wedding day!"
"I do look forward to seeing her dream castle, though. It is the one Luna based our own Dream Castle's design on, and named it after."
They soon approched the castle drawbridge, and Twilight rapped on the bridge with her hoof.
"Now be on your bes manners, Tornado!" She whinnied. "No asking our hostess about her castle's history!"
"Got it." Tornado sighed.

[[Introducing a bit late but they are here]] [[Abductee]] Name: Sweeps Breed: Earth Gender: Male Age (in human years): 21 Appearance: Dark gray fur, mid range blue tail and mane, cut to buzz cut Picture?: Personality: Sweeps is a rather timid type of Earth pony. He’s overly shy and somewhat clumsy. Powers/Abilities: Mathematics Personal Weapons: Standard issue Guard weaponry Personal Possessions: Guard armour and weapons, locket from his mother Brief History: His father is friends with Celestia’s top general and hoped by enlisting him into the Royal Guard he would shape up. Sadly this isn’t what had happened. Because of his shyness and clumsiness he has always been given the easiest of tasks. He has an unusual knack for mathematics and works to keep the Guards books in order. He has lack of confidence in his own abilities and will often fall out with the rest of his platoon, who have played numerous pranks on him because of it. His commander decided to give him a chance to grow and assigned him as part of the protection detail for an upcoming Canterlot wedding. Giving this is an easy assignment what could possibly go wrong?

He was discharged from the Guard, despite all of his achievements and accommodations. Cast out he found work as a mercenary. Can often be found at a local tavern near the Equestrian boarder. He owes a life debt and is waiting for the chance to pay it back. Attachments:

Another day in the barracks and Sweeps dreaded it just like any other day, his father got him to join and he hated every day of it. He wasn’t as buff as the rest of his unit, it showed because his armour hug on him very loosely. “Alright listen up you fillies” bellowed the platoon sergeant, GaleForce, it was typical for pegasi to be named after a form of weather, but that wasn’t what he was famous for. He was more famous for his very loud booming voice and the size of him…much bigger them then the rest of the stallions of this unit. “We have been given an important task. EYES AND EARS FRONT PRIVATE!. We have been tasked with the protection of the princess for her wedding, this should be easy one. I wanted something more for this platoon but orders are orders. Here are the assignments” A unicorn aid trotted next to him using his horn to make the scroll hover in front of him. “Private Corline” “Sir” the tall white earth pony at the end of the row stated “You are tasked with door duty, inside the ball room” “Sir” Corline responded “Private Acer” “Sir” “Same duty as Corline” The list went on for some time and each of the platoon got some decent roles, and then came to me… “Private Sweeps” he said his voice changed to a more sarcastic tone “Sir” Sweeps responded “You got an easy task” Easy? Since I got here nothing has been easy….what is then come on get it over with so we can all have a massive laugh over it…. “Sir?” “Your assigned to the Princes escort, you will remain at her side at all times and make sure nothing happens to her, got it?” “ssss-“ “WELL” Sweeps snapped to attention looking at GaleForce right in the eye “SIR YES SIR” he bellowed GaleForce grinned a little “Good those are your assignments, PLATOON ATTEEEEN-SHUAN!” he screamed, the ponies all snapped to attention “PLATOON DISS MISSED!” In unison the ponies marched back to their barracks. Sweeps was thinking that maybe, just maybe his life was gonna change for the better here.

Zero and Battlefield have PM's Also just a note, it's set in Stargazer's native country - still Ponyland but much later than the Equestria era and not in Canterlot )

(Anywhere you like, you can keep your post up - it's great ^^ Just need to catch up to where Sunstar and I are, just after the abduction. Perhaps Tornado and Twilight were in the front rows, and he's stunned and runs up to the group at the front before they actually leave the hall - and for Zero, perhaps your mercenary pony approaches them in the hall? Just a few quick ideas - it's really up to you guys I do love your posts though!)
