Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sierra had decided to take her sister up on her offer to go out, she hadn't been out for a long period of time for months and months and it was really about time she went out with her once more especially when she was nagging at her to join her for months and months "coming Blue" she called as she grabbed a wrap and put it around her shoulders as if she was some old classical movie star and walked over to her bedroom door and opened it. "Hi" she said as she smiled at her sister who just sighed "seriously, a wrap!?" Blue said as she smiled at her sister who just shook her head "once we get off this mountain we will be in beautiful hot sunlight with a very slight breeze, it is beautiful today, why are you bringing that?" She asked as she and her sister started down the stairs of their home.

"Because" Sierra said as she softly yawned "it is something out mother made for me and I never go anywhere without it, it is a comfort of home, I know we won't be gone long but it will be long enough for me, you know what I am like and you know that I always have to have something with me when I go out that calms me and this does" she said as she nuzzled her sister "I love you and I know that I am with you but I just need this extra bit of comfort, thats all" she said as she pulled the silk ice blue wrap with snowflakes just that little more tighter around her as they left the house. "Alright, I guess I can go with that" she said as they both walked past Maria "Maria, please tell mother that Sierra and I are just going to pick some fresh fruit up and maybe then stop over in Solstice for a hot chocolate and something to eat" she said as she looked at her sister "that is alright isn't it?" She asked her sister who thought for a few moments if she wanted to or not but then decided she would "yes, thats right, I haven't spent time with Blue in ages, I might as well make the most of the day with her"she said as Maria smiled at them "sure girls, have fun" Maria said as they both left the house, closing the door behind them.

"So, where to first?" Sierra asked her sister who pointed outside of the Valley once they reached the bottom of the mountain and had moved on a bit from its base "Nightmare Valley or I should say, the outskirts of the place" she said as she opened up a saddle bag and took out a piece of paper "we are needing oranges and some of the sweetest and juiciest ones are on the outskirts of that place" she said as she looked over her list once more before putting it away, looking towards her sister who had stopped. "Sierra, whats wrong?" Blue asked as she saw her sister shake her head "I...I don't want to go anywahere near that place! Do you know what kind of ponies live there!?" She asked, having never really run into any that were actually nice from that place, granted she hadn't been out enough to know there are nice Nightmare ponies and Raven's family doesn't exactly scream 'nice ponies' even though she knows there are a few nice ones in her family but still, not really wishing to tempt fate and find out what ponies do come from there.

Blue sighed "it will be fine, Sierra, come on, we are not even entering the Valley we are just taking some oranges off a tree, that is all, we will be back here in ten minutes tops, I promise and I won't let anything happen to you I swear! Besides, you know how to open portals right? Just open one and get yourself out of there if anything happens, I can take care of myself I just would rather have you safe then worry about myself" she said as she kissed her sisters cheek "you are far more important to have me see safe than worrying about anything else". Sierra caught up with her sister and they carried on "a...alright, I guess I can do that" she said as she walked on with her sister, hoping that nothing bad would happen to them now, she didn't want trouble for either of them but then she did know who to go to if anything ever happened, he may not work for them any more but he was still family, she could still trust Red to help out if they ever needed it so at least she could go somewhere to get help.

"Care for a little run? You haven't done so in a while" Blue said as she smiled at her sister who nodded "sure, lets go" Sierra said as she started running towards Nightmare Valley, she always did like a run when she came out, it was so freeing for her, just to run and not have a care in the world so she took off before her sister, it was one thing she always loved doing once she was away from home ever since she was a child, some things just never changed.

Sierra stopped short as a male came over to them, Blue had reached her and stopped as she looked at the male "Sierra it's fne" she said as Sierra shied away and turned to hide behind her sister "we want no trouble, we just came to get some oranges, our mother needs some for some ice cream she wishes to make, we will just take a few and be on our way" she said as she looked to her sister who was looking over at a near by bush, ignoring her, thinking she must just be wanting to look elsewhere then try and make eye contact with this male, she looked back at man in front of her.

Sierra couldn't stop staring at the bush, she didn't know why but something was telling her that there was something odd about the bush, maybe it was just an animal but her curiosity was getting the better of her and besides that what if it was an animal and it needed help? Sierra couldn't ever say no to an animal in need so she walked carefully over to the bush and carefully looked behind it "hello?" She said as she saw someone behind it and screamed, running back to her sister.

"What the hell...?!" She said as she looked at her sister "Sierra, seriously, what did you do?" She asked, having been trying to make sure this man in front of them didn't harm them to be paying attention to her sister.

"T...there is a man behind that bush" she said as she pointed to the bush she saw the man behind, frightened more so now as she stayed close to her sister.

Blue looked over at the bush "alright, seriously, stop being some perverted stalker and get out of the bushes!" She growled, no one scares her sister and gets away with it, taking out a dagger from her bag, if any of them were to harm her she would be ready, of course she had no idea what would actually happen and whilst she did make the only weapon she was holding now she just hoped it would be enough protection for them both.

"Blue, please, don't, regardless whatever that man in the bushes is lets just get the oranges and leave, lets not start anything" Sierra said to her sister, just wanting to get out of this place, who knows what these two would really do to them and she didn't want to stand here and find out and nor did she want to leave without her sister.

"First" Blue said through clenched teeth, being that there was a dagger in her mouth "I want to know what that man is doing stalking in the bushes, for a start that is undignified, it is rude and if he had any shred of decency he wouldn't be watching two females, so no, we wait just a little while longer" she said glaring at the male in front of her "and you, you stay where you are."

"False accusations or not I am a little weary on trusting those from Nightmare Valley and considering this place turns out more murderers then any other place in this world then yes, I am am a little more inclined to accept that Nightmare Valley ponies can not be trusted 100%, I speak from experience" she said as she said, passing her sister the dagger "use it if need be and not before" she said as she looked back at the other, eyeing him over "then that makes two of us" she said, deciding that if he was to mess with her or her sister she too would harm him...which means he would have the upper hoof but she wasn't one to lay back and get walked over, she wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Can we not just all get along?" Sierra said, having placed the dagger on the ground, her sister could be so hot headed at times and this was one of them, a little lack of understanding and we now see why she has no friends "but if you will excuse me" she said as she looked around the bushes to see if she could find any aloe and spied some a small distance away "please, hang on" she said as she ran over and grabbed the dagger and then cut off a leaf of aloe and climbed into the bushes with the guy who her sister accused of being some perverted stalker and sat down beside him. "It will be alright" she said as she took her wrap off, cut it into two pieces and then cut the aloe leaf in half and squeezed the gel onto the the burn and then wrapped the leg up in half of the wrap and tied it gently but tightly so it wouldn't come off "there, that should help" she said smiling at him "I am Sierra by the way, what may I call you?"

Blue was about to reply to the male when her sister decided to play nurse which just then made her sigh "thats my sister, always finding someone to help regardless who it is, if the worlds worst murderer was injured she would want to help him regardless" she said as she sat down and looked from the bush to the other "it does seem like we got off on the wrong foot a little and my sister seems to want to play nice with Vampire boy over there so I guess I can play nice as well. I am Blue but you can call me Blueberry until further notice" she said, deciding that this guy will have to earn the right to call her by her nickname.

"Bow to us? We are not like that" Sierra said "sure it is polite to do so and sweet and everything but really, we wouldn't kill you if you decided to not do it, we are not that cruel, our parents brought us up better than to expect royal treatment just because of our gender, those Drow ponys seem horrid" she said as she looked out from the bushes and over to the other male "I am sorry for being rude but really, any woman who isn't actually royalty or in a position of power shouldn't be bowed to and be killed if they don't, it isn't right, woman shouldn't try and push power over the male if they have a little or a lot. It is one thing to be in charge but if these woman are pushing their power over men just because they can and have no actual royalty blood or any position of power other then being woman, even if just some commoner (so to speak) then they really need a reality check" she said as she brought her head back and folded up the remains of her wrap.

Blue smiled at her sister "our parents brought us up right, we have all the love and affection we could ever want and then more of it just to hit home that they really do love us, our parents always taught us to be humble no matter what comes our way so my dear sister speaks of what we have been taught and I agree with her, you shouldn't bow down to a woman just because she is a woman and be killed if you don't, it is wrong and this isn't the 1500's where woman rule and men do whatever they say as if it is some sort of alternate universe."

"It is fine, thank you anyway for the offer" Sierra said as she smiled softly at the Vampire and shook her head and placed a hoof on his and pushed it back gently "no payment necessary, I do this out of the goodness of my heart and yes, it was, but more important matters were needed for it" she said as she threw the dagger back at her sister, it landing at her feet "and thank you, Blue, you were right, I did have to use it when needed" she said as she smiled at Yue "pleasure to meet you but really, you don't have to be in my debt, this is what I do, I help the sick, granted my talent is making ice cream but still, it is a side talent I have learnt over the years." She said as she sat back and just peered out from a hole in the bush and watched her sister and the other speak, finding it actually nice to be here as strange as it was, she may not like being in nature much but when she does she finds the small 'strange' things a comfort.

"I guess I have missed the good ponies from this place then" Blue said to Adiemus "I have only ever met Raven's family and needless to say, when you meet her family you tend to get 95% bad with 5% good and since the bad override the good it is hard to see why any good pony would want to be in this place, it would be a nightmare for them to be here but I guess family is family, not that she would probably think so. If there are others like you then I guess I may need to enter this place some time, just see what really goes on here, of course I would need a guide, I am sure you could fit that position" she said smiling at him "as she picked up the dagger and placed it in front of her "I made it, yes, but I made this when I was a teenager and realized from early on that I am no weaponsmith, this was the first and last thing I ever made.

My father is a weaponsmith, he taught me the basics, I learnt a little more then that on my own but when I put it into practice i just realized how bad I actually was and no amount of teaching would ever prepare me for the job my father does and so this dagger, whilst it may look pretty and decorative and well made it is the only thing I have ever made" she said with a sigh as she sat down and looked the weapon over, the roses that entertwined with each other on thorn vines, that went up and down the handle was a nice touch and the blade being that of tempered steal and looked wavy with a sharp point but she always loved the fact it was encrusted with a blood red ruby on the top but good lord was it hard to get, she had to do some rather...interesting dealing with that and this was her only piece but she did love it and she never went anywhere without it.

"We are" Sierra said smiling a little to herself, thinking about her parents back home and her large family "they have done so much for me alone, given up a lot to make sure I got where I am today and I couldn't love them anymore if I tried, I owe them so much" she said softly and thoughtfully as she shook her head moments later "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be rambling" she said as she turned to him. "But those parties, they sound fascinating, tell me about them? Please?" She asked, having never been to a party like that but she had read about them but to hear the stories in real life? She never thought she would ever have that pleasure and besides, if it kept his mind off his family, or lack thereof, then why not?

"I like to live honorable as well and that is why I can not accept it but nice to know you care to take an animals life instead, I understand you respect said animals life but as an animal lover well...can't really say I prefer that, I would rather you take a ponys but you never heard that from me" she said, having always prefered the lives of animals over ponys but that was a secret she kept to herself. not many ponys would like to hear another fellow pony, Flutter or other wise, say that they would rather have a Vampire take the life of another pony over an animal so she never breaths a word about it. "well, if you ever need a healer just follow the path up the mountain, the one that always seems to be covered in snow in Dream Valley, my family home is there, I will be happy to help you...that is if you can entice me out of the house that is, I don't leave that place very often but for a cute Vampire, I might be able to see reason to" she said winking at him.

"Raven is a witch, a bad witch, her mother almost destroyed Arcadia back in the day, her mother killed and brainwashed many, Raven is pretty much her mothers daughter but she isn't AS powerful as her thank goodness, she has potential to be but there is two things that keep her from being that way. One is her genetic make up, she was born from the love of a man who was a good wizard and a healer and her mother, the goodness that is inside of her, whilst weaker than the black magic side of her, is strong enough to at least subdue her bad intentions and power other wise she would be a hell of a lot worse then she is now. And two? She is just lazy, if she could learn to push away the goodness in her she would be a force to be reckoned with but only recently, apparently, has she learnt to dabble in advanced potion making and going by her daughter, she isn't very good at it, her mother best friend is helping her but as I said, she is lazy."

Blue sighed, did she REALLY want her brother to be marrying Ravens daughter? Either way it wasn't her business "you are like my sister then, she isn't a fan of going outside either, we are lucky to get her out of the house three times a year, she fell sick when she was a child and it weakened her and also made her ability to learn to fly pretty much non existant, no body strength means no way of balancing herself to stay in the air...also, because of this she fell and injured herself and no long wishes to even be air born just a little so she just has given up." Blue sighed, she loved her sister but some days she just wished she could be more help to her, encurage her to leave the house more, enjoy what life has to offer, but she knows she wouldn't get anywhere with that and besides, it is her life to do what she wants.

"I am fine with just leaving a mark, if I have to spill blood then so be it but I don't want to leave them dead or paralyzed" she said, her father had taught her that one doesn't have to inflict lasting effects on others when in battle, wounding them is enough if you do it right. "It's cool, I understand, I just am not the type to go that way, my father taught me better then that that, thats all" she said as she looked over to the bush "Sierra, you alright? He hasn't drained you of your blood has he?"

"No, Blue, he has not" she said as she looked to the other "though would it be wrong to say that I wouldn't mind?" She said, looking the other over, he really wasn't that bad looking of a guy, he was cute in his own way.

Blues eyes went as wide and as round as saucers and she ran over to the bush and put her head through the hole "Sierra, have you lost it!? Seriously, how am I meant to explain that to our parents!? "Oh, sorry Mom and Dad, I didn't mean to let some blood sucking vampire drain her of her life force she just thought it may be fun to let some guy have a taste for shits and giggles and how can I deny my little sister of that?' sorry, Sierra, that isn't going to cut it! Stay AWAY from the Vampire or at least his fangs!"

"Oh Blue, I was kidding!" She said giggling a little "I swear, I am not that stupid and besides, he doesn't drink from ponys unless he is attacked and I don't think I will be attacking him any time soon" she said as she pushed Blue away "now if you will excuse me, I have places to be" she said as she opened a portal and turned to the vampire beside her "It is dark in Arcadia now, care to explore my other home?" She asked, Blue nearly beside herself in disbelief.

"Sierra, wait, you can't go anywhere with this man! You have just met him! And you definitely can NOT take him to Arcadia! If you bring an unregistered Vampire into Arcadia that can easily be looked at as a threat on Arcadia and for the next forty-eight hours whilst they check you and him out you will be sitting in a cell! You are meant to be the rational one but this is NOT being rational! Rethink this! Please!?"

"Oh come on, Blue, I am going traight to Tira, he will be able to get me a pass or something, it will be alright!" She said as she looked at the vampire "those stories sound amazing! I may have to crash one of those parties some day, always wanted to go to one but as a recluse I sort of don't get out much" she said as she got up and kissed Blue on the nose "don't wait up for me, Sis, I will be back later" she said as she gestured to the portal, this one leading back to her room but she needed to pick something up first but then it was onto Arcadia.


"Sierra! Don't do this!" Blue begged.

"I am going to Arcaida, Blue, our brother and Ravens brother are Elders there, if I can't be safe in the realm where I know two...well, one and sort of one, of the Elders then what is the point in taking advantage of that a little? Don't worry, I will go straight to Harmonia when I leave home, make sure that this guy is monitored and checked out and isn't a threat, and then I just will get a forty-eight hour pass for him or something, it will be fine!"

Blue really didn't like this but sighed "fine, go, I know I am not going to be able to change your mind, just becareful alright? Though can I ask one thing? why so brash? You never leave the house, we have to beg you to even leave your room, and going to Arcadia? No way will you even step foot in that place, why now? Why the change of heart?"

"Because, I need a new dress, if I am going to crash one of his parties I am going to need to look my best and besides...' she said as she whispered in her ear "I don't know what it is about this guy but I just want to know more about him, blood drinking or not, he is starting to sound rather fascinating" she said as she pulled back and smiled at her "love you Blue, back later and I will bring you a little something to make up for ruining our day" she said as she looked at the Vampire "so, after you, just enter and follow the dark path and you should reach my bedroom, or, in simpler terms, just walk towards the light."

Blue kissed her sisters cheek "fine, but make sure you go see Tira first alright? Just so at least if anything happens to you you will at least have his protection."

"Of course, thank you, Blue!" She said as she watched her sister pull her head t and walk back to the other.

"I guess that just leaves you and I and I have just lost my date so, since she will be going to Arcadia, care to come with me? We were going to have lunch there but now I am dateless...unless you wish to fill that position, and don't worry, you will be questioned a little by the guards that randomly show up once we get there but really, given you are no threat like an unregistered this worlds vampire is, you should be pretty much alright to pass through and if not I will just play the 'my brother is an Elder, let him pass or else' card. Granted that will probably make them call into headquarters but whatever, Tira will vouch for us" she said as she pulled out that realms credit card "besides, this little piece of plastic hasn't had a good work out in ages, I could do with spending a little on it."

"Arcadia is where my family comes from...well, partially, my grandfather and his family are from there whereas my grandmother is from here, it is a magical realm where everything and anything goes more or less, it has werewolves, vampires, pixies, fairies, sphinxes, sirens, cyclops, normal earth ponys, gryphons the list goes on but it also has a lot to do with magic, the place is pretty much built on the stuff. It is my home away from home" she said as she said as she smiled at him "I know, it is Nightmare Valley, you do what you do to survive, I understand, living here would make even the kindest beings want to learn how to do martial arts just to try and survive here which is why I am pleased I don't live there."

Blue opened a portal and gestured to him to go through "after you" She said smiling at him "don't worry, its safe, just go towards the light."

Sierra followed the other through and closed the portal "Tira, he is our adopted brother, his mother pretty much helped create many of the spells that Arcadia live on but she died at Morganas hooves, Morgana being Raven's mother, so he lost her when he was a baby, she had him pretty old in her life so when she died she would have been 'ancient' so to speak but due to spells and potions etc she didn't look a day over 20 and had a body of a 20 year old also so hence how she was able to have him. But he became an orphan and was being picked on at the orphanage where he was staying and so Blue cared to save him one day when she went to Solstice to after that they hung out for a bit, she got to know him, and long story short she fell in love with him and decided to ask our parents if we could adopt him.

Blue and Tira are terribly close, he loves us all but Tira and Blue are basically the closest two ponys could be without sleeping with each other even though he does take refuge in Blue's bed whenever he is staying with us and something is upsetting him, he will still crawl into her bed to just cuddle with her and they will basically talk all night and she usually can make him happy again by morning. So our brother is now an Elder in this place so he can pull a few strings and get us what we want, of course we don't abuse his Eldership but in some cases, like bringing in an unregistered Vampire from this world to that realm well, he usually will do what he does to allow it so we will be safe in his hooves" she said as walked into her bedroom "it isn't much" she said looking around the simple and rather spacious room, there was an old Victorian vanity against one wall of the room, a four post bed against the back wall and in the middle with a bedside table next to it and a nice comfy old fashioned Victorian chair next to a window with a book sitting on its ledge, the place where she usually sits when she is at home and she saw that Maria had started to stoke the fireplace that was against the right wall and her wardrobe was open which means that one of her sisters was in her room again, she was going to have to lock her door one of these days.

"Just stick to the carpeted area though" she said as she gestured to the dark ice blue carpet and walked over and pulled the curtains, it wasn't the greatest but they were only here for a few moments before leaving "unless you can walk on ice that is" she said, having the house made out of ice has its advantages and disadvantages and for those who are not used to walking on ice it was a disadvantage.

"What kind of shops? Everything really, pet shop, cafes, restaurants, homes, of course, apothecaries, cauldron shops, a massive toy store, ice cream parlor, which is owned by my mother, grocers, you name it we have it, though if you want weaponsmiths and grocer suppliers and the like we are looking at needing to travel to Ironriver, they deal with everything industrial there." Blue said as she started through the portal "but we just need to make one stop off first, to the bakers, I need to put an order in for a cake, dessert for tomorrow nights dinner, but other then that i am all yours" she said smiling at him "and just let me do any talking if guards come up to us, they are the 'police' of this world, old school to call them 'guards' but the Elders are old school so..."

"Nice to know the woman of your 'world' are nothing but bitches, I could always get Raven to go tend to them, I am sure she would be able to have them see that forcing men to be nothing but strong male sperm donors isn't a good thing to force the men of your clan to be...of course she doesn't usually play nice like this but I am sure if she would be able to get one of those leader woman, whatever you have, to submit, they may just see how horrible it is to treat men this way. They wouldn't like to be forced to just be caged up and be treated as if they were nothing and just be used for Ravens own personal use so they shouldn't do it to you and I am certain Raven can make them see sense.

But then again she may also take a few as torture subjects, might not be a great idea one hundred percent" she said as she exited the portal into Solstice "welcome to my second home" she said as she gestured to the place, it looked like something out of Harry Potters world mixed with king arthur's time period "this is home" she said about the bustling city of which Solstice was, not as busy as what Harmonia was but still it was a busy city. "Oh, and by the way, if you do move to Dream Valley I could always play tour guide, not that you would need it but still, it would give you at least one friend in the Valley" she said as she looked around and saw some guards heading her way "just be normal, say nothing" she said as the guards stopped in front of her.

"Good evening sirs, what may I do for you this fine evening?"

The guards looked at the male up and down and then back at Blue "that male" one of them spoke up "he doesn't belong here, he doesn't have an ounce of blood from this world in him, he is also unregistered, I should know, I register all the beings in this world myself, care to explain why he is here?"

"He is a friend, I was meant to come here with my sister but she left me for some guy so he is my date for this evening, he is harmless, he isn't a threat to this world, I will vouch for him, I am able to."

"Miss, you have no right in being able to vouch for other beings that don't belong here, what is your name and number?"

"The name is Blueberry but you should already know that and my number is...well, why don't we get to know each other first before I give you that? You haven't even brought me a drink" she said in a sultry voice as she kissed his cheek "nice men buy a woman a drink at least to break the ice" she said as smiled a little at him and giving him a wink.

The guard blushed a little, losing his composure and then quickly recomposed himself with a clear of his throat "Miss, if you don't give me your number now I will be taking you and your friend in on the charge of withholding information, you would be looking at about a month or so in jail."

"Oh for goodness sakes! Can't a girl have a bit of fun?" She said opening up a Portal and put her head through, looking around she found her brother who was just heading out of Government House and grabbed him, pulling him through and put him in front of the guards. "This is your boss, you answer to him, do you not? This is also my BROTHER, which means that unless you want him to kick your a** out of your cushy job that you have you will let me and my friend pass and not pose any more problems for us. Do I make myself clear?"

The guard looked at the pony in front of him, bowing as Blue threatened him "good evening sir, I apologize for Blueberry for dragging you away from the Government building, if only she had said you were her brother I would have let her pass."

Tira looked at his sister and winked at her before looking back at the guard "and I know for a fact that you would not" Tira said in his important Elder sounding voice "I have been hearing complaints about you as of late for being far too strict with EVERYTHING around this place, you may be Captain of the Guard but you do NOT run this place as if you were an Elder, that is my job and the other Elders jobs and lately all I have been hearing about is how you are throwing others in jail for minor offences and I take it you were threatening my sister to also serve jail time?" He asked as the guard nodded "right, so lets make this perfectly clear, you turn around now and leave this place, forgetting your saw my sister and her friend here and I will let you keep your job for another day, and also, make sure you pull your head in and stop being so strict or else you may see yourself knocked down a couple of ranks" he said as the Guard nodded.

The guard had a scared look on his face, he loved his job but he also knew not to speak back to an Elder if you valued your life "yes sir, I understand sir, I will do just that sir" he said as he turned and basically ran off, scared as anything.

Once the guards were out of sight Tira turned around and looked at his sister who had started to crack up laughing which Tira joined in with, stopping several moments later "oh geeze, what an idiot I have on the payroll" he said as he placed an arm around his sister and hugged her, her hugging him back. "How is my favorite sister?"

Blue hugged him tight for a few more moments before letting go "I am great, bored at home without you, but great, I wish you would visit more" she said as she nuzzled him.

"I would love you, you know that, but mother cares to still be stubborn about my choice in mate, right? So I won't be stepping into that house again until she realizes that one bad mistake doesn't make her an entirely bad pony" he said with a sigh before shaking his head a little "anywho, what brings you to this place and with an outsider?"

"I was meant to come here with Sierra but she is coming here with an unregistered vampire so you may want to stick around for that but she bailed on me so I decided to bring him, he is harmless Tira, I swear, I wouldn't of brought him other wise, I just need to have you vouch for him, thats all, please do it for me?" She asked, grinning when she saw him nod.

"Of course I will" he said as he looked to the other "just don't do anything that will make me regret letting you in here" he said as he lent over and kissed his sisters cheek "I best be going, if your sister is going to bring an unregistered other world vampire in here it will be my head that will be rolling if I don't do the proper paper work and everything" he said as he looked to the other male "I would stay and chat more, give you my name and all but I am rather busy, she can always fill me in later and so I do apologize for being rude but an unregistered vampire is a pretty major deal" he said as he opened a portal and walked through it "talk to you later, Blue" he said as he closed the portal behind him.

"And that was Tiramisu, Tira for short, he doesn't stick around long but he always has time for me and our other siblings, mother and father? Touchy subject as you could hear but on the plus side you are my date for the evening so lets go get something to eat" she said as she started off towards the bakery first. "Nothing special, just that we usually have our cook do desert but I decided that for once we would have a nice cake from here, the bakery in Solstice is amazing! We haven't had a cake from here in a while so I decided to make it my treat, we will have a couple of other things also but I want this to be the main desert" she said as she reached the shop and walked into the shop to place the order.

"It is but he has adjusted nicely but then with Blue basically playing big sister/surrogate mother version 2 it sort of helped a lot, our parents just let her deal with him, they stepped in when need be of course and our parents will always be *the parents* but it did make the bond between him and Blue strong." She said as she looked around her room and grabbed a jar of chocolate pepermint fudge out of her bedside table drawer and opened it, taking a piece out and popping it into her mouth before walking over and offering him a piece "I know, bad manners to not offer the guest a piece first but I have been dying for a piece of this all day" she said, wondering where she had put her card.

"As for the house, my mother and Coven made it, my mother designed it and Coven helped magically build it, three stories high and entirely made out of ice, magical ice that won't melt, we don't need it, my parents, grandparents and siblings can go outside in minus degree temperatures and feel right at home and my father, whilst not 100% fine with ice and snow can tolerate it as well to a certain extent, that extent is, however, a bit more then other ponies but unlike us, he can't obliterate it to the extent we can.

But with saying that we always have fires going as well, thanks to this place never melting the fires that are lit won't melt the ice so we can stay nice and warm at the same time as remaining freezing cold, its a little strange but it works." Sierra said placing the jar down on the ground and walking over to her closet, looking through it she pulled out a velvet coat and checked the pockets, finding her card and then put that back and pulled out a saddle bag and put it on and then she slipped the card inside.

Sierra looked back and smiled at him, rolling her eyes, I guess I could but I think dinner on me sounds a little more fun" she said as she shrugged "I am buying one, don't worry, I know exactly what I want, I saw it a few weeks ago but had no reason to buy it as I don't like going out anywhere but if I am going to crash one of your parties I need to look my best" she said as she opened a portal. "After you" she said, gesturing to the portal and walked over and took another piece of the peppermint fudge, wondering if she needed to take anything before remembering something and ran to her bed and picked up a teddy bear she had been meaning to give Tira for years, it was well loved but he always seemed to take hers as a child and she always hated him for it, it was her bear and she didn't want any one else having it and that was even when she WAS an adult but now she felt it was time to part with it, the memories will live on and she and Tira has some awesome ones with it but maybe it was time she gave it up.

Sierra hugged it once more for a few moments more as a couple of tears fell down her cheeks, feeling like she was giving up her best friend she wiped them away she placed the bear into her saddle bag and done it up before walking to the portal "all ready" she said entering it and started to head towards the light.
