A Mare's Best Friend
By: Nivalia Date: March 16, 2014, 10:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
In the quiet road to Ponyville, a dark mare with a peculiar
looking snake wrapped around her shoulders make their way to the
small town hoping to find something of value. Equipped with only
a satchel the pony looks up at the sky to find it partially
cloudy, providing enough shade from the sun to make the trip a
tad more pleasant. "Well Caprica, we're almost there. Once we
get to town we take a small break, then we continue our search."
The python simply slithers about, finding a comfortable position
to rest before flicking her tongue out momentarily. Nivalia
smiles, looking ahead to see the outskirts of town just ahead.

It was a slightly cloudy day in the small town of Ponyville.
Sometimes the town could be quite peaceful and lively, with
ponies running around and doing stuff, like shopping at the
market stalls. Today looked like one of those lively, peaceful
days. Completely normal. No troubles. Sure there were some
clouds, but it's no trouble. Nothing to worry about. Calm,
uneventful. At least that's what the ponies who didn't see the
potato themed superhero riding on the back of a Manticore
thought.
As the mare and snake were looking off towards the outskirts of
town, a raging Manticore came out of nowhere with a brown pony
wearing a mask and cape riding on the back of it, pulling at the
orange hairs on his mane in an attempt to steer him. When the
figure saw the mare standing there he yelled "LOOK OUT!" before
pulling on the Manticore's mane a bit so that the beast would go
to the right, avoiding the mare.
Once he was sure the mare was out of danger's way, he pulls on a
hair of the raging beast's mane located to the right, making the
Manticore let out a terrifying roar before making a left turn
and promptly running into a tree.
The figure that was riding the beast jumps off of his back,
examines the unconscious body a bit, then rushes over to the
mare and her snake compatriot. "Are you all right?" The masked
figured asks the mare in a worried tone.

Brash had made it her objective to scout out any changes
Ponyville may have undergone since the times the maps she
memorized were from. Mostly adding new buildings to her own map
slowly brings her to the outskirts where some yelling and
roaring in the distance brings her attention to a far off scene.
Her saddlebags of new maps, sketching and measuring equipment
also has a pair of binoculars within. Diving into a nearby bush
she pokes the binoculars out just in time to spot a pony
hovering over some sort of beast. Without determining the
situation in full she focuses on the other pony with the snake.
"Hmm, I wonder..." Brash sifts through her stuff to make sure
she brought what she would need for her new plan. Then with
caution she hops out from the bush and approaches the pair. Not
noticing a twig with a few leaves getting stuck in her mane.

Nivalia jumps back with a short gasp as the Manticore jumps out
towards her; normally she would be set in fear at such a sight,
however when the pony riding it makes it faceplant into a tree,
she simply remains confused. When the masked stranger approaches
her and asks how she is, Nivalia simply nods, "I-I'm alright. A
lot better than that Manticore is right now. Thank you I guess
for not crashing that thing into me." Caprica suddenly shifts he
gaze from the unconscious creature to the filly now approaching
them. The python extends out a bit towards her, drawing
Nivalia's attention as well. "So... Is this some kind of
greeting you townsfolk have for newcomers? I have to admit it's
quite... uh, memorable."

"Umm... I really don't know. I just got in this country like a
week ago so if this a greeting I wouldn't know. And no need to
thank me, it's kinda my job." The masked figure says before
turning to the new arrival with the twig in her hair.
"Wait is it branch day? I thought that was next month, but oh
well." The masked figure says upon seeing the tree part in the
filly's hair before going over to the tree where the Manticore
was knocked out and ripped a branch off it. He then places it in
his hair. (Hair is exposed just in case you can't tell from the
profile pic.) The Manticore then starts to get up, so he gives
it a little kick to the face to make go back down.

Brash takes notice to the twig in her mane, "Why else would I
have something like this in my hair?" She remarks, simply
assuming the strange character would buy it.
She turns to Nivalia, "Now that you've been properly greeted,"
Brash holds a hoof towards the snake, "Is this snake for sale?"
And now that she can identify the manticore she wonders if the
masked pony might be a tamer of some sort.

Nivalia looks over to Brash, "Oh uh no, she's not for sale. You
can hold her for a moment if you'd like." The mare extends her
hoof towards brash as the python slithers to her hoof. Nivalia
then glances to the caped crusader, "So what were you doing
riding a manticore in the first place?"

The masked figure adjusts the branch in his mane a bit to make
it more comfortable before turning to the mare and her snake
sidekick.
"Well it appears that some idiot got a little to close to it's
nest and made it mad. I was traveling through the everfree on my
way to... ahhh what was it? Ahhh yes, "Canterlot". Terrible
name. Anyways I was traveling and saw it headed towards town.
Little known fact is that it's mane is actually connected to
it's brain, and if you know where to pull it's quite simple to
steer." He says as he fidgets with his cape, trying to
straighten it since it got a little ruffled during his ride.

"Canterlot really is a terrible name." Brash keeps her hoof held
toward the python to allow it onto herself. The bit about the
manticore's mane being connected to the brain certainly was not
true, but Brash wasn't about to correct what seemed t be an
intentional lie. She looks towards Potato Ponie, "Would you say
a certain mane style could domesticate the beast?"

"Canterlot?" Nivalia says with a curious look on her face. "Oh,
that's where I'm heading, but then again I'm not really in a
rush." Meanwhile, Caprica slithers around Brash's hoof. In
seconds she makes her way around Brash's shoulders and gets a
closer look at the pony's face. Meanwhile, Nivalia doesn't
notice as she looks towards the forests nearby, "And the
everfree forest has some flora I haven't studied yet. Hmm,
perhaps a few days here wouldn't be so bad." The mare glances to
Potato Pony, "Do you know of any inns in town?"
