The Elder Hooves I: Arrival of the Six
Chapter 18: Before the Storm
Previous Chapter Next Chapter-Valenwood, border between Thalmor and Stormcloak empires-
Heading south west were the Skyrim, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Valenwoods legions of the Stormcloak empire. A total of about 20,000 ponies. At the head of the entire army was the respective governor generals for the legions, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy.
"Where in the wide world of Nirn is Rainbow Dash?" Applejack asked, starting to pick up on the local slang.
"Uh, she was in attendance," Pinkie explained looking at the 'R' section of the record book Twilight suggested pinkie use "Maybe she's just falling back?"
"Maybe, it is a been a long, and were the only ones with a carriage. Not to mention were only half way there." Scaleblade added.
"Whatever the cause I do hope she catches up, we need to keep her close to the front," Pinkie announced. Pinkie watched as they passed a small landmark that only few recognized as the marker for the Thalmor border "Alright, we are officially in the Empire of the Thalmor. Shall we go over the plan again? Alright, we are going to board shipment vessels that have been redied for us on the beach.We will ride them for an hour or so and begin our assault on Summerset isles. The Cyrodiilic legion will fight out side along with the Archers from Valenwood. Neloths healers and destruction mages will also fight around the city as the conjurers and nords enter the castle along with me and my friends."
-Thalmor Dungeon-
"Well! That's it! Your disguised as a guard!" Ink-Wing was extremely impress with his handy work, for right in front of him was a golden mare with an orange mane, as well as wearing the armor of any local Thalmor guard. However this was actually Rarity wearing a disguise he threw together, at the price of knocking a guard unconscious.
"Thank you darling!" Rarity thanked her savior "Oh we should send a letter to Pinkie to inform her on our situation. She'd wan to know imidiatly!"
With that Rarity scribbled like mad on a peice of paper she ripped from some book. Wen she was done Ink-Wng magically light it to fire and watched as the green smoke flew away.
-Imperial City-
"Yo, have you seen Governer General Scaleblade?" A black stallion asked a guard.
"Governer General? All of them, along with the empress, headed to Summerset to declare war on the Thalmor. An army of over 20,000!" The guard explained.
The stallion then ran off, he needed to be in Summerset.
-Halfway through Thalmor Valenwood-
Still marching through Valenwood, the army had surprisingly not been detected, save for the odd skeeter or wolf. Then again they took a route where not many had settled in the province so it made sence.
When Pinkie looked through her telescope she was delighted to see eight or so large ships, ready to go, sitting along the coast. Tonight, we dine in Oblivion! Pinkie smiled at that thought.
Meanwhile further back in the group, Rainbow dash was suited up with her good old armor from Orsinium. She was however weilding a bow now as she thought it would serve as a good weapon when flying. She was running in order to catch up to her friends.
The closer to her friends she got, the better she could see the boats ahead. They were massive shipping boats. Finally they had arrived and they were ready to board the ships. Rainbow had gotten on the one designated for her and her friends.
After about a minut of searching she had found her friends in the command room. Pinkie was changing into her armor, as the rest already dawned theirs. Twilight wore some destruction mages robes, Fluttershy had the biggest set up armor and Applejack had a set of banded iron armor.
"Ah Rainbow! Your finally here!" Pinkie stated "Do you remember the plan?"
"Pinkie," Rainbow sighed "You've told us the plan a million times, I think I got it!"
"Alright just making sure," as Pinkie said that, a letter materialized right infront of her face. She opened it to see it was from Rarity, Pinkie instinct lay began to read out loud "Pinkie, we urgently need help escaping the Thalmor palace, we are going to lock the entree nice to and guard the Dwemmer artifact."
"Alright, as if we didnt have enough pressure on us." Twilight stated
-Thalmor Palace-
Rarity and Ink-Wing were sneaking through the hallways at an attempt to find the room keeping the aritfact. It took a while but the did end up finding it. The Artifact was massive. Ink-Wing, who had delved into Dwemer research once or twice was amazed. The most complex of Dwemmer technology was the lexicon, yet it could fit in ones hands, he couldn't imagine how they maneged to build this.
Of course as the reckless intellectual that he is, he literally dove into the machine.
