Head Hunter walked out the Canterlot gate, and saw a dark grey pony talking to what appeared to be a crowd of ravens. The pony itself had Dark Grey fur, a Dark Brown mane with a black horn poking through the front, and on it's flank was a picture of a Raven on a tree branch. (Head Hunter refused to call the 'natural tattoos' by their real name, but everyone who was a pony had one in which depicted their talent.) The Raven in the picture seemed to be leaning forward, as if listening in on a conversation. This may seem weird to some people, but people like this are actually quite common among ponies, especially among unicorns.
"Raven Holm... I have heard that name before... But that must be him." Head Hunter muttered under his breath.
As the sniper got closer, he could tell that Raven Holm was talking to the ravens. The birds flew off as the pony turned to face Head Hunter. His eyes where the color of lava, and seemed to show wisdom beyond the pony's actual years.
"Ah, brother, you must be the Human Princess Luna assigned me to help! As you could tell by my, heh heh, gathering, I am Raven Holm. I will act as your guide, you spy, and you link to the Princess of the Moon." He said with a smile. He had a deep voice that carried an unfamiliar accent.
"That is me. Uh... Why did you call me 'brother?' Are you a priest?" Head Hunter asked, cautiously.
"No, the local ponies just seem to be more at ease with me if they think I might be." He stifled a deep laugh. "I know how to remain undetected as the birds I have befriended. I carriage is coming short ally to take use to the outskirts of Manehattan. That is where the first rebel on the list is, correct?"
Head Hunter checked the paper in which Luna had provided him. "Yes, as zebra is making trouble by shouting and using magic to frighten those who pass by him. He tells them he will kill them unless they donate to the rebellion." He rolled the paper back up and placed it in a pocket in his vest.
They waited for several minutes before Raven Holm spoke again. "You seem heavily armed. I think you may have brought to many weapons my friend!"
Head Hunter shook his head. "Nah, if anything, I don't have enough. I will have to find away to get to an dispenser, which I a device out engineers use to get ammo and medical supplies to their allies. Luckily, I have a full 25 sniper rounds, and 17 clips of ammo for my Ludgermorph pistol. Of course, my machete and my switchblade don't use ammo, but they will be risky to use."
Raven Holm seemed fascinated by Head Hunter's weapons. "I am unfamiliar with such weapons. Please, tell me what they do!"
"Well, the switch blade is just a knife that puts the blade in the handle as opposed to putting it in a sheath. My Machete is just a sword that..." Head Hunter throughly explained each of his weapons as the two waited for the carriage. They were destined to become very efficient partners to say the lest. The rest remains to be seen...
I was going to showcase the first rebel being silenced, but then I realized that Raven Holm need plenty of explaining and describing, so I settled on making it a full chapter.
I have exactly two OCs that make up the Installers Of Kings rebellion, so please do not hesitate in submitting me an OC!
