Shifty

Punda shook his head. "I have seen headaches before but never that bad. Do you need to see a doctor? It would be no trouble to take you. I have all week to see the princess."

(Let see how it goes with Witty and Punda then)

Punda noticed Witty began crying. He cautiously stepped forward. "Are you alright?" he asked, worry began to form on his stripped face.

(I'm fine with pairing Punda, let's see how it goes. He's extremely shy, if you haven't noticed already.)

(I don't mind shipping at all really. Have any pairings in mind?)

She grumbled then she noticed that the pony was still waiting for an answer[colour=#800080]"Ummmmm they are uh specialized wings.My real ones where uh hurt or like ah broken."[/colour]Witty Winds said nervously.

Punda gasped at the pony. "I am very sorry to hear that. I apologize for Forte's inappropriate question." Punda said, he gave a light glare to Forte. His sudden shift in personality surprised him. He usually was very nervous and even shy around new ponies, but he felt for the pegasi's plight.

Punda could feel the suspicion in the air and decided to speak before he was completely forgotten. "Do you work for the weather team?" he asked Wiity.

Manny looked back at Helios. He looked desperate, like cornered animal. It reminded her of the time she chased a cat into a corner and it scratched her. She would have to show she was boss. "Well, where could she have gone? Do you have any camps or caves nearby she could hide in?" Manny asked with what she believed was a tone of authority.

Punda didn't protest at all. He just shyly scuffed his hooves on the ground.

Manny looked around suspiciously. "If this is a trap..." she trailed off threateningly. She walked forward, "Show yourself mage!" she shouted, challenging the eggnomancer. There was no reply.

Manny smirked and threw the cloak on her back again. "Good, once I see the princess you get your cloak back." she said smugly.

"No." Manny said as she dodged and weaved away from Helios. She pulled the cloak off of her and held it in her mouth as she continued to move out of the enraged unicorns way.

Manny bit her tongue to keep from yelling an insult at him. He was her captive, what gave him the right to call the shots. Manny marched up to Helios until she was nose to nose with him. "You have only one loyal follower at this point. Not to mention that uprising must have lost you the title of Duke." She bit his cape and pulled until the tie snapped and threw it on herself. "Now you don't have a fancy cape either. So what are going to do now, peasant?"

Helios groggily awoke yet again. Seemed like he was getting knocked out a lot these days. He once again saw the same hooves from earlier shaking him. "Lady Manzanita," he said in a mockingly formal manner as he rose to his hooves and clutched his head. He narrowed his eyes at her next comment. "Of course I can walk alone if the help being provided is by you!" he shouted acidly. He was actually surprisingly unharmed after the last sequence of events, well, except his pride. And he prided himself on pride. "Why should I lead you to Princess Dawn?" he said petulantly as he turned his back on her and stomped a hoof. "What will I get out of it? Hmm. The second you have her back I am whisked away into the prisons," he turned his head back to say to her, before shaking his mane and striding off to the exit haughtily as well.

"Wait!" called Manny. Helios was her only lead to the princess, she couldn't let him leave. "The princess is very forgiving. She has to be. If you lead me to her, I promise you won't become a prisoner." Manny spoke, her voice sounded a bit worried but she tried to hide it.

"H-hello." Punda said, the wind from the pony's shout ruffled his mane slightly. Usually he would have it tied up but today he decided to have it down, now his once smooth mane was every-which-way. Punda guessed his mane had gotten too long.

Punda shyly looked to the ground again. Meeting two ponies so soon was something he didn't expect at all.

Manny watched Helios warily and shook him to wake him. "Can you walk far without needing help?" she asked. "I'm going to search for Princess Dawn and you are not leaving my sight." she said with an air of finality. She watched the others leave then looked back at Helios. "I believe you know where Overeasy is."

Manny shot a glare towards Helios. "Liar." she muttered under her breath. She would not have him slandering the good name of the princess! She turned back to the new Orange filly. "It's very nice to meet you. The princess would also like to meet you...when she returns of course."

Stardust had just entered the library, when she noticed a bunch of other foals playing.

[colour=#ff8c00]Mind if I join your game? [/colour]the orange pegesus filly asked

Manny noticed the new filly and marched up to her. "Who do you follow? Princess Dawn or this faker here?" Manny questioned as she motioned to her captive.

(Sorry if it seemed like I abondoned this RP, I've been distracted since my brother came home from the Marines)

"Unyasi is in the south lands where it is very warm." Punda said. He spotted the silver pony nearby and was once again stricken by shyness.

Manny had climbed down from the mountain, but tried not be noticed. She easily snuck around the deposits of bookite before coming upon something interesting. "King Helios. It's been some time, hasn't it?" she asked the fallen not-king, she didn't expect and answer. She hefted his weak and surprisingly light (for her anyway) body and snuck away with her captive.

Manny quickly hopped atop the books she had stacked, though she slipped a couple of times. "I'm right behind you Princess!" she grunted as she pulled herself from the edge of a rather larger book. She may have been slightly taller than average but her longer legs weren't helping her all that much. Still, she tailed after her princess loyally.

Manny began stacking books on her back and took them to the princess to build. Being an earth pony had its gifts, Manny was proud of her strength. She could pull more than anyone in her classes and sure she wasn't all that smart but she knew being strong would help Fort Book.

Manny quickly bowed before running of to the dungeons. "Prisoner it's time to...uh oh." Manny said as she looked at the empty cell. This wasn't good. Manny quickly ran back to the princess hoping to get the news to her in time. "Princess Dawn, the prisoner...she escaped." Manny panted as she reached the princess.

Once Manny took care of the prisoner she went to her princess's call. "I'm here, is there anythin you need me to do?" she asked, eager to serve her princess.

"My Zebra brethren and I come from the land of Unyasi." Punda said, a hint of his native tongue was shown in the fluid way he said the name of his homeland.
