Equestria Divided: In Nominé - MLP RP

For a time, Torrential continued to walk the road with Star Dancer, a smile on his face and a song weaving its way out of his lips as he merely took the chance to enjoy the company and the scenery around him for a while. However after a time the smile faded, replaced by a stern expression and a look in his eyes that suggested a hardness that nothing mortal would have a prayer of stopping. With a solemn sense of purpose, Torrential removed his wing from around Star Dancer. "Excuse me my dear, but I need to do something before I forget to do it. Hold on to this for me for a moment." He asked, removing his hat and plopping it down on the Pegasus's head.

Walking a short distance off of the road, Torrential planted his hooves into the muddy ground like lesser ponies sited their artillery... for much the same purpose. Taking a deep breath Torrential closed his eyes, focusing on what he was about to do completely. There would be a time to explain to Star Dancer what he had done after he had done it. Slowly, his horn began to glow a greyish-blue hue as the spell began to be form... only to shift into a sun like yellow-orange before a small ball of his magic started to form at the tip of his horn, no bigger than a marble at first. Then it started to glow in size.

From its humble beginnings as something the size of a marble the ball of yellow-orange light started to grow as more magic was poured into it. Within twenty seconds it was the size of Star Dancer herself; within a minute it was bigger than Torrential himself was! Seemingly at what must have been a random time, the spell stopped growing as Torrential started to strain with the effort of part two. The ball of magical energy started to compress in on itself, all the energy that had been poured into it now being forced into a smaller form that it seemingly did not wish to take. As the ball shrunk, it went from a yellow-orange to an angry red color, stopping only once it was the size of baseball.

With great care, Torrential turned his head towards where he was guessing the heart of Earthborn lands lay. Once he had lined up his shot, he tilted his head back before throwing it forwards, the spell being released as it flew much like the baseball it appeared like, soaring through the sky at a steady pace before vanishing behind the cloud cover up above.

Breathing heavily, Torrential clearly had some trouble pulling his hooves back out of the ground while his knees seemed to wobble from sheer exhaustion. The walk back over to the road was much like his knees; wobbly and unbalanced. Once he was back by Star Dancers side, he sat down as he continued to breath deeply. He didn't say anything just yet, but he knew that she not doubt had questions she wanted asked.

What also makes them weaker is that they are tied to a single sphere of influence. Now heres a question folks how ya gonna handle Chrysalis. After all she did take down Celestia (if you ignor the fact the bug was a complete dumb dumb in the end) so that proves there are more powerful things out there than an alicorn. So I present a challenge make something stronger than an alicorn.

I always viewed that fight in the context that Celestia was holding back due to all the innocent ponies that were around them while the fight was taking place. Roasting her loyal and loving ponies by accident seems like the kind of thing that would haunt her.

I guess this is a good time to ask, but how are we handling Princess Candance's origins?

The argument could be made that her ascending would be the kind of event that would catch the attention of almost all alicorns since that sort of thing is kind of a big deal.

For the record, I was speaking of the only member of Moon and Star who is an actual alicorn, not the failed experiments of your archmage. You didn't really think that Cadence started off an alicorn, do you?

On a completely unrelated note, Torrential is about to flew his divine muscles and show the world why attacking an alicorn is a bad idea.

Unless we reach Black Knight levels where we're all like, "yeah, no. You can't hurt me at all."

This is why people grind their levels. Sooner or later you just become a living god. "Who needs armor? My sheer awesomeness will protect me from harm!"

The problem is, the kettle is even blacker than the pot.

It's always the unicorns that waste their lives (And often the lives of others) in their inane quest to become alicorns. Countless before you have tried and failed to do so and countless more will no doubt raise up to waste their time after you're gone.

It is very telling that no unicorn, despite all their efforts, have ever managed to become an alicorn. It's even more interesting when you consider that the only pony to ever ascend to alicorn status was a Pegasus.

And the true gods arrogance won't? To be perfectly frank most of the gods- Celestia and Luna included- are woefully behind times, I think the biggest factor to their downfall is underestimating the intelligence and ingenuity of their adversary, and Scalpel does have plans within plans and a modern mind of science, frankly I think if he succeeds in more of his work the gods will be genuinely freaked out.

I'm sorry is the unicorn really calling us arrogant? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

For those interested, the tune Torrential is singing is Wayfaring Stranger. It's a song that is close to his heart. He has only sung the first verse so far.

Torrential didn't say anything to Star Dancer at first, remaining in silence as he seemed to absorb what she had to say. A small smile appeared on his face as he bent his head down a little, giving the scribe a soft kiss on the forehead before whispering "My sister is lucky to have you in her life. Just don't be afraid to tell her or off or say 'no' to her if she starts to act stupidly." With a parting nuzzle, he rose his head once more, giving his shoulders a brief roll as he continued to walk with his wing around her.

After a little while, Torrential started to hum a tune. As he started to get into the rhythm of it, he opened his mouth and began to sing.

"मैं एक गरीब सफ़र अजनबी हूँ.
बस शोक की इस दुनिया के माध्यम से यात्रा.
कोई बीमारी, परिश्रम या खतरा है,
कि निष्पक्ष भूमि में, जो मैं जाने के लिए."

Few were the mortal ponies that would understand the words of the song itself, but the words seemed to flow together as naturally as a whistling wind, a hauntingly beautiful sensation that only those who walked the open road completely alone would ever truly understand.
