Thrylos

Dusk Sky looked surprised as the mare asked to go out into the winds, but nodded. "If thats your wish, then came this way." Dusk showed Gray Shade the special coats for storms such as this, got into one, then went out and took over as she saw her first mate having trouble with keeping the place under control. Shouting orders, soon the only chaos was the storm that threatened to tear the wood of the decks.

Dusk set a hoof on the table and raised an eyebrow. "No, no. Theres bragging rights, kid, when you do jobs like mine." Plus, the mare was intrigued. (o.o ONE LINER! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!)

The old mare looked up at this new unicorn, who had helped another pony. She would need lots of help... "Oh...maybe a week, but by the smell of it..." She raised her muzzle and sniffed. "Probably a day or two. We should be landing soon." Looking out the window, she saw a small speck of light from the stars through a tiny break, that was then quickly replaced by cloud. "See that tiny break in the clouds?" Dusk directed this at Grey Shade. "That means its night, and the storm is breaking up. Its going to be a nice, though cold and brisk, day tomorrow." The pony trotted over to another pony and helped a stallion find a quiet place to read in this din, then turning and quieting some ponies until the room was only filled with hushed, frightened whispers, and some slightly cheery chatter. "Well, thats that." The sunset yellow earth pony looked at the light gray unicorn and warmly grinned that old grin of hers. "And you are?"

Ink Soul sighed, winked at Shadow Myth, and used his magic to move crates into a stairway, eyes clenched shut with concentration. Slowly, Ink stepped down the floating boxes, feeling for each new step. Suddenly, the unicorn set a hoof on a curved box and tumbled down the falling crates, just barely making it down. "Woo...what in the world did I get myself into, leaving my writing for this..." Hurriedly, Ink cleaned himself up and looked about. Only the pegasi and him remained. Oh no...and now I had to go and get angry at Unity! Planning on finishing what he started, he trotted after them before turning to the waiting pegasi and looking sadly at them before running father from the two mares.

Hello! I'm new to drawing ponies, but paper sketches and later drawing tablet sketches will be fine for me to do as requests. I have lots of free time. Just ask! Specification is great, but sometimes just describing the pony and what feel you want will be better for me to draw. Thanks!

Hops was thankful when Timbre Swing asked for a drink, and escaped the group, getting a drink and swinging it over to Timbre. "There ya' go!" Hops said merrily. "Nothing better after a good song." Dusk was surprised at the question, and didn't see Hops running behind the counter. "Well, I guess there are indicators for it, that I'm an airship captain." The old mare chuckled. "Just your normal cloud flyer. Small, old beauty, sturdy as steel. Thin, night sky blue fabric, with iron edging and the works, with a nice wooden cabin."

Ink Soul shrugged. "If you call successful only being known by an older, less known part of Canterlot, then use. But I enjoy it, and thats what matters." Pulling out a thick, tattered leather-bound book, he pushed it over to Dunder. "First one. Took a while, and it was never titled...by me, anyways. The publishers, who had trouble getting it through, named it Sleeping Insanity, but I never thought it was as dark as that, to deserve such a name. Just the story-or stories-of a ponies strange, reality-shifted dreams."

The unicorn ducked and weaved through the trees, slowly approaching the trail. Looking behind himself, the unicorn saw two others, another one close behind, chasing after him. Quickly, he saw the trail ahead, and was about to follow it when a thought hit him. I can't go into town with all those ponies! Hope those others don't just go down the trail... Then, the skinny, not so athletic pony jumped onto the trail, and quickly fumbled, legs buckling. No!!! I knew I should have taken those exercise classes! Grunting, he heard the roar and jumped, crashing down and twisting a hoof. Hissing with held-back pain, the unicorn tried to get up, but just lay back down at the fire that coursed through him. Get it together, Ink Soul!

(Sorry to poke and prod, but Dusk Sky is a girl. ) Captain Dusk Sky stepped inside to hear the prays of her less strong passengers, and sighed a little. Putting on her hat, which she had of in the storm stepped forward and lay a hoof on a crying mother and her daughter, and the old mare smiled warmly at her. "Come on, ol' girl. This storm ain't nothin' compared to some I've navigated." The rest of the ponies that had been crying out for their lives and watched her. "I'm certain I could keep tons of glassware from even chipping in a storm such as this." Then the yellow mare walked into the center of crowd and gently helped the youngsters and fragile, both mentally and physically, back to their feet. Warmly helping a small colt and his sister, she grinned and was rewarded by a more comfortable grin then before.
