Elsa
I've cried, and you'd think I'd be better for it, but the sadness just sleeps, and it stays in my spine the rest of my life.



Elsa had grossly underestimated how everyone was getting along on this side of town. One after another came in, a familiar spotted unicorn came in ranting like no other. Her bitter? Well, look at the pot that was calling the kettle black. Elsa remained silent, watching as numerous others approach. Then again, another pale mare approached ranting and raving. What the hell?! Was it white-bodied rage day or something? Apparently Elsa had not gotten that memo. It was turning out to be quite the adventurous gathering. Even if she didn't win, it was nice to know that the perfect faced complexion wasn't so perfect after all. Hey, at least she was not the only one with flaws.

As Ophelia turned to leave, she followed the group that was with her. It was dominated by men, and immediately she shrunk back against herself. Not only was she of the female gender, but she was one of the only people here without a horn. The only other one to lack it was the ember-dressed equine.

Quickly, their following ended as Ophelia addressed the small crowd. She was quick and to the point, commanding them to keep her away from the tree. Granted, Elsa felt this to be quite an assuming task. In battle, there was no way to know and prepare. The Falls for example, they had no clue that an army was being built just moments away. Even though they were on the track to fortifications, time was the only thing that would help. In the presence of a fresh battle arising, the Edge would have to rely on their warriors first. Their wall could only do so much.

The large black stallion spoke first, offering his plan. Others gathered while he talked, observing from afar. The equine spoke next, offering another valid speech. Elsa couldn't help but be lost in what others were thinking. Coming forward to claim lead? That in and of itself was enough to make anyone jealous, right? They shouldn't have to come forward to ask for it, they should be rewarded it. Yet, sometimes you have to shove your pride back up your ass and go for it. Someone had to do it, and by the looks of it those who had problems with it had not hinted at whether or not they were "competing". The only way to change something that you hate it to take it into your hands. Even if they did not want to lead, they could easily claim it and pass it onto someone else.

Stepping forward she cleared her throat, and began speaking.

[[[[[Elsa would create pitfall traps at the entrances, or, in front of the tree at that point. The Glass makers would quickly make a layer of glass just below the sod part of the ground. Then, it would be layered on the top with more grass and dirt, thus hidden. Guards would be posted around these points, with minute markers to show the edges. They could protect the passable part of land, and have the glass pitfalls on either side. This would keep those who should be inside safe. And those who weren't, could fall in themselves if they tried to sneak in, or be pushed in by the guards. For safety reasons, the guards would/should be mostly pegasus in case they get pushed in themselves. Would also ask seer for a herd quest to make invisible spikes around the base of the tree, so Pegasus who could just fly over would land on the spikes.]]]]


When she finished, she stepped back into the crowd. Elsa could not be sure whether her tactic was good or not, she did not want to think too highly or too lowly of herself. Eventually this would end, and she would either have a job or be leaving everyone alone. It would not be any different though, because she was good at doing both. Edgar nervously rolled upon her poll, anxious for this to be over with. He was trying to take as much of her bias attitude away as possible, and he could only help for a little bit longer. Elsa silently told him to sleep, she was as calm as she needed to be now. With that, the bird rolled up and shut his eyes, not eager at all to know what the outcome would be.
