Chapter 5
Previous Chapter Next Chapter{Next day}
It had been a day since I meet the princess, I had told Rarity what happened between me and her. "Well it seems you made friends in high places." She said to me with a smile, but then there was a knock at the door.
I opened it to see the two guards from before carrying three bags two of them the same size, I got form the mayor's assistant, and the last one was much smaller. "Oh is that my payment I didn't expect so much." I said as they brought them in.
"Two of them are, the last one is full of small cylinders." One of them said as they set them on a small table.
They left after setting them down, and I looked in the one with the cylinders, they were filled with several different kinds of dust, and I lined them all up by color, their were 5 red, 3 yellow, 4 green, 2 black, 5 dark blue, 3 cyan blue, 4 white, and last 3 dark orange.
"Wow she works fast where did she get all this." I said to myself as Rarity walked up.
"Oh what are these?" She asked as she attempted to grab one of them but I stopped her.
"It's dust, and they are dangerous if not handled with care." I told her, as I pulled her hand away from them.
"So what does each color mean?" She asked but then I looked at her eyes to see them moving up, so I moved my head back towards the dust to see the black ones floating.
"These blacks ones are gravity dust they many times form floating islands, the red one are fire dust, dark blue is ice, yellow is lightning, green is earth, the cyan blue is a very rare one that can create hard light, it is used to create force fields, the whites ones are air, and the dark orange is I think used to fuel several different types of vehicles." I explained to her as I grabbed the black ones, before they got to high.
"So where are you going to put them?" She asked me.
"Well first I'm going to go buy a large case to hold them, and as for one's I will bring in mission, I wanted to ask you if you can make tiny pockets on the inside of my coat to hold them." I said, as I reached into one of the other bags, to pull out a few dozen bits.
"Oh there's no need to." She said.
"But I want too, you and your sister gave me a place to stay it's the least I can do." I told her, and she had a small smile as she took the bits.
I have her my coat before getting to work on it. I then returned to my room to put my hat on. I then moved all the dust in here, but kept the gravity dust in a draw to keep them from floating to the roof.
I left the boutique to go find maybe find a pawn shop or a store that sells cases, and I asked around, and found where they sold them, they sold them at a rather large store in town.
"Ok then let's see what they got." I said as I walked inside, they sold of variety items but I was only interested in the case section, I decided to get two, one for if I had to go somewhere, and the other to store the ones i'm not using.
I took them to the registers, and they asked. "Are you storing one particular thing in there?" They asked.
"Well yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" I asked them.
"We use magic foam for cases, magic foam cane change to hold different things, so we ask people this so we can make it into the shape of what their storing." They explained, so I took out the empty cylinder.
"I'm storing things like this in them." I told them so they brought out several layers of foam for the bits one but only two for the little one.
After they were all done the one I could take on travels could hold 15 or so, and the big one could hold over a hundred, couldn't get an accurate count.
I gave them the bits then headed back to the boutique, I placed them both in my room." Then Rarity walked in.
With my trench coat. "Its done." She said as she handed me my coat she had made five tiny pockets, that would fit in cylinder each on both sides, and over them were buttons that put a cover over it, to make sure they didn't fall out.'
"Thank you." I said as I gave her a quick hug.
"Your welcome." She said, as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
She left the room so I could getting things organized, she said she would come back a little later so we could move things out of the room.
I put one of the red ones in the small case followed by all the air, and ice ones, then all the yellow, and last 2 greens, after that was filled up I but the rest in the big one, I had an idea what I could use the gravity dust for, but no idea what to use the hard light dust for, I had no idea how to make a shield generator.
Soon after I left my room, carrying my spear in my right hand.
Rarity was talking to a customer but I decided not to interrupt her as I made my way outside so I could train.
I got a good ways from her home before doing something that was rather taxing on me i could not only control it I could make ice that moved on its own, but like I said it was taxing and I could only made maybe three depending on the size, that would be able to fight for me, I've only used it for either distraction, or for training like I am now.
I made Beowolves that were twice my size. "Attack." I ordered as they charged me the two on the sides on all fours while the middle on his hind legs.
I activated my aura as I readied my spear. The two on the sides reached me first, as both lifted one of their claws to attack me, but I jumped between them as I charged the middle one.
The ice beowolf tired to swipe at me with it's sharp claws, but I slid under it as I tripped it with me spear, and as I went under it I flipped over the spear head, to load in a large ice bullet into the gun part.
As it finally fell to the ground I was up on my feet again, but I saw the other twi charging back towards me.
The one I knocked down was getting back up but as it rose to its feet I shot, the bullet went through it, and into one of the other ice beowolves.
The one In front of my shattered into pieces as did the other one I hit leaving only one remaining.
I let it get close before I jumped high in the air as I spun the spear above me before throwing it, and my aim was dead on as it went straight into its head making it shatter as well.
I grabbed my spear after I landed, and pulled it from the ground as I turned around to see Spike, Rarity, and the others.
"Hello." I said, as I put the bottom of the spear to the ground.
"How did you do that." Rainbow said rushing over to me with a huge smile on her face.
"Years of training and fighting grimms." I told her as the other approached.
"So this is where you were I was wondering where you went." Rarity said.
"I saw you with a customer, so I thought it best not to interrupt, so I slipped out to train." I told her and Spike walked up to me after that, and he held out his hand.
"Thanks for saving me." He said so I shook his hand.
"Not a problem so how have you been since then?" I asked.
"I still have some pain every now and then, but I'm fine." He told me, and soon Sweetie belle came out, and when she saw Spike she had a huge smile on her face.
"Spike." She yelled as she ran up before jumping, and taking Spike to the ground while hugging him.
"Sweetie Belle we just got you those clothes." Rarity as she pulled them up, my only guess is that they are together.
"So shall we go inside." I said and then Pinkie told me.
"Wait I have a surprise for you at Sugar cube corner." She said gleefully, and I smiled.
"Ok then, I guess we could make a quick trip to sugar cube corner, let's go." I said so she started pulling me through town, to what looked like it was made it look similar to a gingerbread house, i guess it made sense since it mostly sold sugary treats.
But once we got inside it was dark but then all the lights suddenly turned as as several people screamed. "SURPRISE."
"Sorry if it's last the grimm's did major damage to the store, so your party was postponed till today." Pinkie said as she jumped around excitedly.
I smiled at her, and said. "Thank you I really appreciate it." I told her as I walked up to join the party.
She had made cakes and cupcakes for everyone to enjoy, I grabbed one of them cupcakes but as I took a bit out of one i got the sense of familiarity as I chewed it. I then felt an overwhelming sadness wash over me, as I heard someone approche.
"Um Winter are you alright, your crying?" She asked, and I out a hand to my check then took it away to see a tear but it quickly froze, then I realized why I was crying, these cupcakes tasted just like Winter's, no my mother's, and thoughts about how she was doing filled my mind.
"Yeah it's just that I worry about my mother I had suddenly appeared here after I graduated from the academy, she must be worried sick." I told her as I started at the cupcake.
I felt Rarity put a hand on my check before she looked at me with worried eyes. "I'm sure she ok, and that she knows your safe." She told me and I put a hand over hers, as I relaxed.
"Thank you for that but I still need a little time to calm down." I told her as I forced a smile.
"You know you can talk to me if you need help." She told me.
"I know and I really appreciate it, but this is something I must do on my own." I told her, and while she wanted to argue with me but she accepted my decision, as she walked back to the party.
I went back to eating the cupcake chewing it slowly but after eating it, I saw some of the children were looking at me.
"Hey kids want to see a neat trick." I said and some of them looked at me with anticipated as I took in a deep breath before blowing out a cold mist, but after it left my mouth it turned into swarms of butterflies made of snow, and ice.
They flew around the kids, as they started chasing them while laughing, and even some of the adults were laughing as they looked at their kids chase them.
"Looks like your good with kids." A femanine voice as I turned around to see a black haired women.
"Oh I didn't see you there, and you are?" I asked.
"Ocvativa at your service." She told me with a small bow. "I've heard a lot about you, and how your the princesses personal bounty hunter." She said standing up straight.
"Oh you heard about that I thought it was a big secret." I said with a little confusion.
"Trust me nothing stay secrets for long, I even heard reporter's are on their way here." She told me.
"Great." I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.
"Hey it's not all bad you'll be a celebrity." She said.
"Well I'm not really looking to be a celebrity, what I want is to find a way home but no one here even knows what aura is so that means I could be hundreds of thousands of miles away from home." I said, with hope quickly draining from my voice.
I closed my eyes as I rubbed them, and I heard her clear her throat.
"Well I hope you find your way home." Was all she said, before walking away, and it was getting dark outside, but the last continued for the next hour or two before it was finally done, and we all went home, and as soon as I got there I collapsed on my bed exhausted before going to sleep.
