Azure, on the other hoof, was seriously considering taking this book and burning it. He'd only had a quick flick through it, and already, he looked pale.
"H-How could ANY publisher sell this book for her...?!"

(here is a long one)

Sir' Iron Trottingham stood within those dunes upon the rising sun, the shadow of the enemy began to cast over him and the horde seamed to creep closer and closer snarling and gnashing their teeth to intimidate him. However Sir' Iron Trottingham was not phased, not even for a second, his eyes were sharp, and his whits were sharper, calculating all the means of strategy and plan to attack, to know what their attack methods are and predicting how they will move. Would it be from the front, behind, above? it did not matter, for he was ready to counter what ever will be thrown at him, however he was not ready for what happened next

With the first step he took his hoofs began to sink into the sand slowly and every other step he seamed to only fall deeper and deeper into the dunes, quicksand? It was of no matter, a levitation spell would make short work of the issue. But as he began his spell, he felt something harder, more physical, rap around his hoof and and grabbed it underneath the sand. Before he could react he felt the ground shift and hands busted out of the sand. It was a sand pit of Diamond Dogs! they came from underneath the sand catching Sir' Iron Trottingham completely by surprise grabbing him by his tail, body, mane, anywhere they could get a hold of him and dragged him into the sand in seconds. he lost focus and dropped his "Battle Bane" and it to began to sink into the sand just out of hoofs reach.

Sir' Iron Trottingham was dragged under, he was unable to see or breath, only did he feel the sand shifting around him, falling deeper into the desert like it was an oceans depths. He felt the claws of the diamond dogs striping him of his armor leaving him unprotected until he was actually falling in mid air. Only a few feet did he fall, until he landed on a rocky surface catching his breath and whipping the sand away from his eyes he immediately assessed what he could of the area.

It was a TUNNEL! Under the sand many many meters below, the diamond dogs were digging, burrowing through the wall of sand. Yet some how, the sand stayed suspended above with pillars and braces, the diamond dogs must have advanced themselves greatly to have made such an achievement, and the explanation to how they made such a feat lies still unexplained by scientists and archaeologists to this day. what was more important to sir' Iron Trotingham was the reason for such a massive tunnel. They were not trying to send some small part of their forces to flank our own, they had a WHOLE ARMADA to alienate the royal forces, most likely to blind side them (in theory) sneaking around the main forces undetected by digging.

And along the mass of enemy's were cast iron carts, with PONIES IMPRISONED INSIDE! it was to Sir' Iron Trottinghams great relief that It was the missing royal forces that were tasked to search the desert weeks ago, all of them, in small clusters of cages keeping them separated, to limit plans for escape.

In moments diamond dogs surrounded Sir' Iron Trottingham, but with the high probability that their would be no further surprises he prepared for combat, one of the leading diamond dogs laughed at him and said "Foolish pony, what do you honestly think you can do?!"

With a cheeky laugh Sir' Iron Trottingham responded "Nothing... It seams you already dug your own hole..."

"HAHA!" The red stallion exclaims with delight "oh Sir' Iron you are surly the greatest of heroes if not the one with the sharpest tong"

Azure looked at Smooth. "Well, um...thanks."
He turned and made his way, quite quickly, to the table he used to be at, taking a breath, and finding the segment on him.

[mentalshock]

Silently sneaking up to Azure, Smooth wanted to study every reaction the familiar pony had to the book.

[Chromastone64]

Azure was reading the first few segments of the part on him, and anypony who was watching could clearly see something was wrong. This wasn't a chapter in a book, this was whole flipping diary of the Queen! Some of it more foal-friendly then the rest. What was really freaking him out, however, was how she constantly wrote "My Azure" whenever she mentioned him.
Azure was whimpering quietly now.

[mentalshock]

"By the Queen I knew it you are the Azure from that book aren't you." Smooth nudged Azure

[Chromastone64]

Azure was really skittish now. "W-What?! N-No, my name's, um...Az...ran Legacy?"
He gave a fake smile, before sighing. "...Yeah, you're right." He looked at the ground.

[mentalshock]

"Well aren't you lucky. I mean that makes you the King of the Changelings. What I would not give to have that title, but as changeling law dictates I am not legally able to do so." Smooth stated energeticly.

[Chromastone64]

"But that's just it! I don't want to be King or anything! I just want to be a normal pony! To be honest, I don't even really like Her Highness that way, but this book...! She's calling me her husband and we're not even married! And another thing, I'm only 16 and she's...I dunno, over a hundred!!!"

[mentalshock]

I don't know what to say, Azure. You could always fake your own death, but that would brea the Queen heart.

[Chromastone64]

"What? Isn't that a bit extreme?!...She'd still find me anyway." Azure sighed, hoofing the book back. "It doesn't matter now. I found out what I need. I'll just read another book."
He picked up the book he was reading before, "The Few Left".

[mentalshock]

Smooth shrugs and puts the book away.
