"...and then they made me their chief." said a red-caped Unicorn named Rising Dawn to a group of kids following behind him. He was at the big gathering where the princess had given her speech, listened for his name to be called and then headed out to the designated meeting place. The problem? Dawn had misheard, thinking he had been added to the second team, not the third one. And as such he ended up wasting time going to [i]their[/i] meeting place only to be embarrassingly corrected. Not that he let that show, instead laughing it off and insisting that his mistake wasn't a mistake at all and that he was simply going to have a word with the Princess to clear up the confusion. Utter rubbish of course but the Unicorn would be damned to let himself look bad on the first day.

Along the way a small group of kids started hanging on to him listening to one of his many tales of adventure. This of course slowed his pace and as a result he was quite late to the meeting at the library. He was finally left alone when the Library was in view. The door was left open and a tall deer stood outside, likely being unable to fit through the door. But because the door was open Dawn could hear all manner of commotion coming from inside. An eager crew, Dawn decided, which suited him just fine. The last thing he needed was to be teamed up with a bunch of lazy sods, and thankfully this didn't sound like that sort. As he approached, he heard mention of the crew missing somepony. He knew they were talking about him, but he couldn't just walk up normally. Oh no. If he was going to be late, he was going to be so in a favorable way.

As such, his light greenish aura appeared around his horn and the hilt of one of his blades as it slid from its holster. With no word or warning, the weapon flew through the open door and into the library, striking the wall with a thunk. Swiftly it was pulled out and in a few lighting strokes carved a "D" into the wall. Perfect. It was quick, bold and dramatic. And the unicorn introduced himself just as dramatically, "You referring to me, mate?" said Dawn with a cunning smile as he spoke up from outside. As he entered he looked around at everypony, waving a front hoof in greeting before magically removing his hat and bowing before Griffon, "Apologies, miss. You see I happened upon a poor, defenseless kitten stuck in a tree on the way here and, I couldn't well leave the cute little creature to his fate." while he spoke, his magic caused the sword to return to his side and the hat upon his head, "But I'm here now, lads and-" he saw Flicker then and his introduction was briefly stopped by a well-hidden shudder, "...and ladies." he finished.
