§§§§§ With Mane 6, 2:10pm along Equestrian borders §§§§§
Six mares that looked fearless on the outside, yet were quivering in fear on the insides were approaching the border of Equestria and Drafiston. Then again why wouldn't they? They were entering a place they have never seen before, and they've been from Fillydelphia to Vanhoover!
They couldn't help but feel watched. Something, someone, had their eyes on the gang, and everypony felt it. It didn't help when Rarity randomly stopped because she thought she saw somepony in the corner of her eye. Fluttershy looked around and also saw the mysterious entity that Rarity must have seen, but only for a second as it escaped her view.
They kept quiet though, they knew that everypony was nervous and they didn't want to add anything to the already ignited flame that was the teams nervousness.
They kept walking, until they reached the border; a large river, maybe 100 feet across was the only thing between them and the towering stone-brick walls that surrounded Drafiston.
They now beheld another predicament; how were they going to get across? Fluttershy and Rainbow were the only ones being able to get across safely thanks to their wings. As they were about to ponder on a solution, a small, in fact very small being, came out of the blue and scared the group.
"Oops, my bad ladies. Wasn't my intention to alarm you. Wait patiently, for the bridge will be raised soon. Only then will you be allowed to go on Drafistian territory." As fast as he came, he left in a puff of smoke. The gang of six had just comprehended what had happened. They didn't believe that they just spoke to a 4 inch tall colt, who appeared and disappeared out of thin air. Then again, they've seen tons of stuff that was once thought impossible, yet this was pretty mind-blowing.
Bubbles started coming out of the water, fishing the attention of the girls. Curiously and cautiously, they approached the edge of the river bank. Until they all jumped back in surprise when a light blue metal bridge emerged from the water below, granting them access to the country ahead.
§§§§§ Meanwhile, with Gabolia (Gab's POV)§§§§§
As I lifted the bridge for the six, I couldn't help but be happy. My daughter was coming here, I haven't gotten a good glimpse of her yet, but I will soon. I'll have to hold myself back from hugging her.
"You saw her Essef, what does she look like?" I asked
"Can't say much without spoiling anything, but I'll say puberty was nice to her." My brother replied. I mentally slapped him for the comment and held my position, quietly awaiting for the six mares that were walking across my bridge.
§§§§§ With Mane 6 (3rd POV) §§§§§
As the six kept walking across, they saw a white figure. As they kept on walking they noticed that there were no guards anywhere, as if this place had no army. They approached the end of the bridge, Twilight gasped as she recognized the white figure.
"It's him, it's our target, the threat." Twilight whispered to the gang. They wanted nothing more than to go back, but there was no going back when face to face with the enemy.
They reached the end of the bridge to see nothing more than a small staircase leading to a door in the wall, and the white pegasus that awaited them.
"Hello there!" The pegasus called out. "I am The Seventh, ruler of this place. I welcome the six of you, to Drafiston."
The group just stood still, then Twilight walked up. "Good afternoon, sir." She answered as she bowed, the others followed her lead.
"No need for those shenanigans, we don't have the time." Said Gabolia, as he turned around. "Follow me, we shall move to the entrance of the kingdom, where we shall speak more." He started hovering towards the door, followed by Dash and Fluttershy, the other four walked up the steps towards the inside of the kingdom walls.
AN: Alright, not much this chapter, I'll admit it's a little short, but I didn't have much time and I want to let it explode in your face next chapter. On that subject, next chapter will be up before or on the 20th of July.
Till' next time, and as always, Greatness Awaits!
