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....
