Unonemous said:Sotil tilts his head up as she brings herself closer "Well, uh...Heh...I...Didn't really do much aside from work when I was a foal...I love crystals and everything about them, so, when I get into work, I tend to get a bit lost." He gives a small chuckle before sighing "Well, that's the thing...I could have given aid. I could have helped, maybe made things easier...But, I didn't have a single clue as to what was going on." He rubs the back of his head a bit "So, really...I just...I was kind of a waste of space at that point, hehe..."
Sotil stares blankly at the rather oversized bag of bits atop his cart "Uhm, Princess..." He steps forward and peeks into the bag "This is easily three times the cost of the necklace...And...Wait, what?" He turns to look her in the eye "You just...Just decide to give me a bag of bits for international travel? I-I mean...I love the idea, and the fact you were so quick to give it to me, but...You don't even really know me, and you're just willing to send all this money my way?"KageYuuki said:
Princess Celestia
Celestia shook her head, letting out a long sigh. "You weren't a waste of space Sotil, none of my little ponies are." The solar princess offered a soft smile before setting a surprisingly large bag of bits on a clear space of the cart. There was easily a few thousand bits in it. "Please don't be so hard on yourself over this. It wasn't something I could have handled on my own." The statement would likely come off as a bit of a surprise coming from the supposedly all powerful Solar Goddess. "As for the necklace, I hope that's enough to cover it. Not to mention handle the cost of traveling to the Crystal Empire. You'll probably find and work with crystals you've never seen before while there." Another soft smile before she took a step back. "I'm afraid I need to be on my way, I'll never hear the end of it if I'm late to the Winter Ball." She knew Luna would hassle her the entire time if she were late.
"So could I have the necklace by chance?"

He stares at the bits for a moment before looking up at the Goddess before him. He lets out a slow breath before digging into his cart, pulling back the plank for a hidden compartment that was filled with soft, silk fabric, something to ensure nothing inside was ever harmed by bumps and such. He pulls aside a few of the cloths and produces the commission she asked for.
It was a deep, deep black crystal, one that seemed to absorb any light that came near it, dotted with a multitude of silver slivers all throughout at different depths and distances, creating a somewhat decent representation of deep, dark space, or the night sky. The ovular-cut gem was housed in a perfectly polished silver housing attached to a chain just as brightly shined "Here...I hope it lives up to the difficulty that you all went through."
"Yeah, it is..." He says softly, peering over once more at the bag of bits. When she booped his nose, he blinked and his ears layed back...He almost looked like he saw a ghost...Or felt a ghost. Regardless, it's clear the action was something that caught his attention. "Uhm..." He rubs his nose "Yeah. It's always been a dream, heh...Certainly a part of my future."KageYuuki said:
Princess Celestia
Celestia chuckled softly as she shook her head at Sotil's confusion. The princess gave him a light boop on the snout. "I saw that look in your eye last night when we talked about visiting the Crystal Empire . . . it's a dream of yours to visit there, isn't it?" Sge offered a gentle smile. "It's a gift, don't fret so much over it. I know you'll love it there."
Soft pink eyes lit up as Sotil pulled out the finished pendant. "Oh Sotil," Celestia gingerly lifted the necklace in her magic, watching the way the silver shimmered like stars. "It's perfect, far beyond what I pictured. My sister will love this." She pulled the necklace closer before looking back to the stallion. "Thank you. I hope to see you later tonight at the Ball. I'm afraid I have to go and get ready." She gave a slight bow of her head before turned and walking away, the necklace still floating beside her in her magic grasp.
"I'm not quite sure what secret I'm keeping..." Silver said before thudding came down the stairs. Silver turned to see Arc cautiously look around the stairs before sighing and walking out.Mrjenkins said:
Amelia stops shaking the container and opens it. For a moment the liquid is white and has a white glow too it, but changes to black. Amelia seems frustrated for a moment before getting up and moving a carpet, revealing a trap door. Amelia opens it and it reveals thousands of other capsules each with the same liquid. Amelia cranks a lever and a new space rises up. Amelia places the container in the storage and closes the trapdoor."I hope you can keep a secret mate."she says, as she sets the carpet back and sits on the chair again.
Assailant said:"I'm not quite sure what secret I'm keeping..." Silver said before thudding came down the stairs. Silver turned to see Arc cautiously look around the stairs before sighing and walking out.
"What are you guys doing down here?"
"There was a strange sound and I investigated." Arc waited a bit longer before sighing and shaking his head.
"Alright, what's all the commotion outside than?" Silver tilted his head. "Everypony seems to be migrating somewhere. Should we investigate?" Silver frowned.
"You think it could be a Shifter lynching?" Arc began to nod, before pausing and laughing.
"It's gonna be hard to get used to this." Silver cocked his head again, not catching on. "Whatever. Might as well check it out, right?"
They both seemed stunned by this. A ball? Immensely few of those had occurred during their lifetime, and the few that did... often didn't end well. Large gatherings of ponies were often frowned upon, as a Shifter could easily integrate that way. As such, they felt they had to, and both responded with a nod. Despite knowing the war was over, their instincts still acted like it wasn't.Mrjenkins said:
"The commotion is some ball or somthing starting..wait a minute."she thinks for a moment before having a face of slight surprise."I'll be right back!" Amelia runs into her room, and exit with a tie on her, it is rainbow."you two, maybe three. Want to go? It could be fun." Amelia waits for the. To respond. While iden finally goes down stairs, as a Pegasus, and they look slightly tired.

Indicus had to shield his eyes from the bright magical light, once it died down he opened his eyes and was taken aback when he saw Anda the color of the flowers complemented her coat and mane perfectly the gown itself flowed with each of Anda's steps the mushroom caps creating a somewhat mystical aura and the wreath shown a benevolent power. Indicus for the first time in a long time was left speechless though her request snapped him back to reality and words once more found him as training and etiquette took over until his mind could settle. "I would be glad to be your date for tonight, besides it would be quite foolish to deny a chance to be a date for a mare as beautiful as you goddess or not." Indicus's mind finally caught up to everything as his face contorted into a equally playful smile. "Besides if I passed this chance up i'm sure my parents would smack me from the heaven they currently reside in." Indicus laced his own foreleg around hers in kindviska said:As the magic began to intensify, a soft voice came from behind Indicus "It looks like I returned just in time."
As a few in the group turned to face the source Anda stood proudly in a gown much like Lavender Moon's.
Hers however was made up of exotic flowers and ferns from the Northern grove.
gorgeous blue ferns wrapped around her ankles leading up to flowing palm leaves.
The purple flowers seemed meticulously de-petaled so that they would lay flush like a scale.
The him was lined with dozens of tiny glowing mushroom caps that looked more like blue glowing studs.
Atop her head was a gold laurel wreath to display her sovereignty.
Aside from her dress her form was that of a radiant, mature mare.
As a few of the pony stared at her return she could only shake her head and laugh softly to herself " I did say I would be back did I not?.. You didn't think I would attend my granddaughter's first ball without dressing appropriately did you?"
As she walked closer she moved with a sense of grace that matched Lavender Moon's stride.
It was clear to anypony who would look hard enough that the sisters were very much like the spirit.
Lacing her foreleg around Indicus's she asked "Now then, I don't suppose you would mind being a goddess's date for the evening?."
raising an eyebrow playfully she added "Or dose my age bother you?. "
"That shouldn't be necessary," Silver said. "We're wearing the uniforms of soldiers. Or, we will be anyhow. That should be enough to let us in."Mrjenkins said:
