- Nolo POV
- -----------------------------
- >You sit among these dethroners, waiting for them to begin
- >For though your enemy was powerful, she had never faced the might of men
- >Equestria will soon be ours, for we hold the true power!" you boldly claim
- >All the rest seem to agree
- >Except for Forge, who doesn't trust you fully
- >This doesn't bother you in the slightest
- >His silly morals give him no rest
- >You listened in on the speech, but as excited as you might be,
- >This meeting stretched on, without any end
- >You had stuff to do, places you had to attend!
- >These men were all great, in their own special way
- >But only Xillian held your sway
- >You observed as he reclined, completely at ease
- >Leaning back and contemplating, completely at ease
- >You suddenly turn at the sound of your name
- >Codz gave you orders, you said you were game
- >You were to hang back here, with Xillian and Sherm
- >Such an easy job, you might as well get a Perm
- >But no, you thought to yourself as you watched Forge get up,
- >He leaves eagerly, wanting a respite
- >As if that would help, Ha! yeah right
- >You still had to go after the most corrupt
- >To that end, an alliance was necessary, with the most devious of all
- >And Xillian the Magistrate was at the top of the roll call
- >You pull him aside as everyone leaves
- >Going about their bushiness, doing their deeds
- >He seems somewhat wary at first, if not ill at ease,
- >But then you ask him something that makes him seemed pleased
- >"My Dear Magistrate, wait one moment"
- >"I have a request that I need to vent"
- >"You see, I have noticed how your goals, you achieve"
- >"Always plotting, without a reprieve"
- >"I know your skills are greater than the others might think."
- >"Which is why I know you and I share a common Link"
- >He watches with interest, seeing where this is going
- >He knew of your skill, and that it wasn't just hot air you were blowing
- >So he let you continue, with a small smile, all knowing
- >"You know how to play the game, that much is obvious"
- >"But what is your end goal, why so devious?"
- >His smile grew wider , sinister and frightening
- >"Why Scurra, the answer's simple, I enjoy their fighting."
- >"I'm a politician, my choice is not hiding,"
- >"merely watching, waiting, biding"
- >"For you see, this fighting will someday stop,"
- >"And when it does, I'll make sure I am on top"
- >"But it is with some regret,"
- >"That I must inform you that my true endgame is a secret"
- >You stare at him, aware of the simalarity
- >"I've had an Epihany, of startling clarity!"
- >"I know that I would not like to pit myself against you,"
- >"How about an alliance between us two?"
- >The magistrate only smiles, and when he answers it takes him a short while
- >"I....would love to form an allegiance with you,"
- >"If only to surprise the others, out of the blue..."
- >"Then it is settled!"
- >"Together, no one can best our mettle!"
- >You both part ways towards your respective destinations,
- >Ready to begin your dark machinations....
