Please come upstairs, young filly.

Is it normal to punish heroism now?

"[COLOR="#A9A9A9"]But to be fair, Sabina did yell fire in a crowded building

"B-but mom, I..." There are very few things that seem to ever bother Sabina. However, big pink bows seem to be one of them. "Awww, I don't... it... but I..."

VOD HAH LOG!

And with that her hair is blown backward. Sabina blinks in surprise... and then sulks a bit. She follows her mom up the stairs, defeated, to put on the pink bow; Her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.

Adepha watches through the window as Spark uses his Shout on Sabina

Sabina feels a faint breeze, both against her body and in her mind in a strange phenomenon the filly simply cannot put into words. However aside from cooling her down slightly the shout doesn't have any noticeable effect.

While Subtle fell unconscious, Adepha was stumbled back. Sabina was barely even fazed.

It's hard to tell what this means.

It's not good for young fillies to be getting to scuffles, especially with the Law. Mrs. Blades reminds her daughter as she applies the bow out-of-sight from the rest of the group. By the time the duo returns downstairs, they can see Sabina in an adorable big pink bow in her mane.

[cavalieredraghi]

You know you really look adorable when you have that bow in your mane Sabina. Spark states honestly. Well we all ready to go now?

"Sorry Sabina. Shall we go?" Subtle says. She notices that Sabina reacted differently to Spark weird shout thing but decides not to be paranoid and feed suspicion. Besides, Sabina is physically more stable.

Gear turns to leave.

We should get going.

[DigoDragon]

It's not good for young fillies to be getting to scuffles, especially with the Law.

"I'm sorry, mom," Sabina said sadly. "I promise not to do something reckless like shouting fire again." She walked back down stairs, tail between her legs again. She was completely regretting the false fare-alarm shout.

You know you really look adorable when you have that bow in your mane Sabina. Spark states honestly.

The filly stood there blushing red. "Um... thanks. I'm ready to go now."

[cavalieredraghi]

Spark gives Sabina a Toothy grin. Just let me handle anything related to fire from now on ok! Spark moves to the door. Thank you Mrs. Blades for your hospitality. Alright lets get to the hive.

[Emperor Ing]

Well if you ask me Sabina I think you got off pretty easy. Adepha remarks as they make their way to the hive.

After several minutes of travel the group is finally on the obsidian gates of the Palace, with two Palace Guards keeping watch. One of whom salutes Spark, but gives him a flat look. Oh come on that could not have been more than two hours. Are we being attacked?

You recognize Canthid pretty much immediately.

Thousand year old Superstition: speak Discords name and he will appear.

[Emperor Ing]

I've been standing here for the last two hours. They don't tell me if Arlia-
*AH-HEM!!* Canthid's counterpart clears his throat, with a death-glare aimed at Canthid.
I don't exactly keep tabs on Queen Arlia's day-to-days, y'know? Go inside. The Guard casts a spell, causing an unseen machine to begin activation, opening the gates for you.

To the best of my recollection, everything down here is all set for the Summit. All we're waiting for is the ready signal from Canterlot so you should be good to go.

[cavalieredraghi]

Spark bows to the two guards, Thank you both again. As Spark passes them he askes Gear, What was that jump about? All i said was Discord?

Gear places his hoof over Spark's mouth.

Don't. Say. His. Name.

Speak his name, and he will come.

[cavalieredraghi]

Spark being the most confused Wyrmling ever, Who He?
Yes as a Player in know who Discord is. but that does not have to mean Spark does.

[Humble Master]

"That seems like an old superstition." Subtle said, currently preoccupied admiring the magical opening of the gate. "Besides isn't Dis..." she sighed ""He" still sealed in stone or whatever from when he returned and was subsequently defeated?" She then turned to Spark "He's a Spirit of Chaos that basically ruled Equestria 1,000 years ago. I've read that Princess Celestia and Luna used the Elements of Harmony to seal him away. He returned recently, but the current bearers of the Elements managed to defeat him. Apparently his magic is extremely potent and, random."

[cavalieredraghi]

Spark looks confused still, and as if he were thinking. So, there is a being named Discord, that has magic greater then The Princesses? Wow, Sounds like a good person to make your friend.

[Rater202]

"[COLOR="#A9A9A9"].He returned recently, but the current bearers of the Elements managed to defeat him.

...What?!

Spark looks confused still, and as if he were thinking. So, there is a being named Discord, that has magic greater then The Princesses? Wow, Sounds like a good person to make your friend.

Spark, are you crazy!?

Next you're going to say you want to be friends with...

Gear tries to come up with the name of an ancient evil:History(2d6)[4][1](5)+4 9

[DigoDragon]

Well if you ask me Sabina I think you got off pretty easy.

Sabina doesn't say anything. She knows this bow is just the tip of the iceberg of punishment she'll face later.

The conversation back and forth about Discord does cheer her up slightly, in an odd way. "Don't know why you're all talking about that when clearly you have me to worry about." She tried to smile a bit there to show she was just kidding. "Well, let's go confuse another adult."

Sabina starts walking in through the gate.

[cavalieredraghi]

By the time Spark get to the doors of the palace, he tells Sabina. I can actually burn down the Town Hall if it will help you from getting more punishment. Spark said jokingly. Spark knew that Sabina, well enough to know she was worried, he did not need to be a changling to know that.

[DigoDragon]

I can actually burn down the Town Hall if it will help you from getting more punishment.

Sabina stops in her tracks. She sighs, turns around, walks up to spark, and bear hugs him. "Don't ever change."
She turns around again and continues walking, feeling better.

[Emperor Ing]

Next you're going to say you want to be friends with...

The first name that comes to mind is "Nightmare Moon."

Spark, that's like...a thousand times worse.

Spark guides the group through the winding, polished stone walls of the palace undisturbed. Asking for directions, they hear that Ambassador Sicale and his attendant/assistant/friend (the term used differs depending on who you ask) are exchanging stories with Queen Arlia and Ambassador Knacooth in the Throne Room.

Sure enough, walking in the throne room, the four can be seen. Starting from the left, there can be seen a Changling drone with a cerulean shell and wings, but whose eyes are obscured by a pair of sunglasses. Something about him, however, strikes you as extremely cuddly. Next to him is a Unicorn Stallion with a green coat and a blue mane who looks like he can go hoof-to-hoof with even some of the toughest Hive Guard here. Then there is Queen Arlia on her throne, and to the furthest right is a massive hulking brute of a Changling easily as large as Princess Celestia with at least five times the mass in muscle alone. If the Unicorn could go hoof-to-hoof with the palace guard, then that changling could incapacitate any of them by simply walking into them, purely on accident. One can also see he has a red-tinged carapace with red eye-lenses and a red shell along with red wings that are easily large enough to support his body weight. His features also appear elongated, predatory, and vicious, very dragonlike.

Adepha gawks at the massive changling. What the hay is THAT?!

The Queen is the first to spot the new arrivals.

Ah! Welcome back, Spark! How is everything?

The names of everyone from left to right:

[cavalieredraghi]

Hello Mother! Spark cheerfully says, Things are... EH, but before i get into that let me introduce everyling. Spark starts from the left to the right. Introducing Sicale, Adamant Shield, and Knacooth. And these are my friends. Subtle, Sabina, Adepha, and Gear. Spark then repeats himself in Dovah for Knacooth.

[DigoDragon]

Sabina attempts a polite curtsy in the presence of the guests. "A pleasure."

Subtle bows before the gathered officials. It had taken her awhile to get used to Spark's mom being the Queen of Hive Olith."Pleased to meet you all." Almost instinctively Subtle tried to see if any of the officials gathered there had the tell-tale magical sheen in their eyes that signaled domination.

Gear is noticibly a bit intimidated by the presence of the behemoth and the fearsome unicorn-underground with brutes and all that, but still mamanges to bow in acknowledgement of the royalty and peace delegation beings present.

[cavalieredraghi]

Spark nods as his friends introduce themselves. Now were to begin. As you know i Domination has been happening around town. I thought Adepha was, but it turns out Subtle actually was Dominated. Also more of the town may be dominated then we first though, due to this Glyph, only Crystal ponies can see. but the magic is still there and can affect other ponies. And we still are not sure who is behind it all. the lead theory right now is, it is some pony or ling that works for you or the mayor.
Spark gives a quick summary knowing his friends would fill in any gaps.

Spoiler: ooc

if Arlia does not repeat anything Spark says in Dovah, Spark will.

[Emperor Ing]

As you approach, Subtle is able to get a good look at everyling's eyes (except for Sicale because he's wearing sunglasses.) She's fairly certain that none of them have any yellow sheens that betray a Domination.

Unfortunately your words seem to confuse the behemoth Changling, though Queen Arlia speaking draconic seems to clarify that immediately as she's acting as a translator.

Foals?! Adamant balks. We're entrusting the security of this event with a bunch of ten-year old foals?! However it seems to be that he is the only one of that opinion. Sicale appears to cringe, Arlia gives the unicorn the Evil Eye, while Knacooth didn't understand a word he said and the Queen does not seem keen on translating it. Perhaps it's for the best.

Sicale clears his throat, trying to grab everyling's attention. ....ANYWAYS, we have heard about all this. Queen Arlia happily translates this to Draconic for Knacooth's convenience. It sounds like, well, you already know why. But from what else i've heard, it's not just about us. You've caused far more trouble than he has, with writing a glyph noling else can see and Dominating two ponies into passing out false documents. It's almost as if whoever this is is targeting you all in particular.

From what Queen Arlia has said about you all, you have quite a reputation around town. You, somehow, seem to be his biggest threats.

Or "her." I'm not making assumptions here.

Ahney ven mu fend kunus borii bo do un paal

"Either way we should anticipate the next move of our foes." Queen Arlia translates.

Turning public support against us is a good first-step. The delegates from Canterlot will see protests, and the burden will be on us to address their concerns. If they are all Dominated, our pleas would fall on deaf ears and the Delegates would be difficult to persuade that they are, indeed, Dominated or that this is a part of an elaborate scheme for a purpose we don't entirely understand.

It is the truth, though.

Orchard's Razor. He, or she, has us where he wants us. What would his next step be?

[cavalieredraghi]

their initial purpose is clear, and you already have stated it, they want to undermine the whole Summit? Spark sits down, with his claw to his chin. Is the summit being held here in the hive, or in the town? Spark also thinks on old strategies that may have been similar to this.
