13th Gem [Video]

Tis the season everypony.

[Dame Rarity appears on screen wearing a marvelous pale purple sweater with accenting amethysts added to the collar and cuffs. She does a pose, showing off the comfortable sweater from every angle before taking a step back to reveal various other sweaters in numerous sizes and colors. Along with the sweaters are comfortable winter coats and scarves that obviously match.]

You could say this is my winter collection for this years Hearth's Warming Eve. Of course, each sweater is made with a material created by yours truly to resist collecting dust or pet hair

And for those of you who are more....battle oriented, I can design warm clothes that are still stylish and battle ready if so desired.

If any pony is interested, please contact me directly and we can discus what you would like.

[Private to Zetta]
Darling, may I have a moment of your time when you're free? I would... like to discuss something.

[She listened and felt sad for her companion. Rarity knew for a fact that war was hell and was ever so grateful the managed to win. But, not without sacrifices.

Rarity set her blade aside and took a seat next to the smaller mare.]

Your world sounds harsh and unforgiving. I know you desire to help your Equestria, that's a desire I can understand all to well and honestly? We lucked out. We won because Twilight decided to sacrifice herself to stop... Well.

[She sighed softly.]

Lets just leave it at war is horrifying. I'm sure you shall get your chance to save your Equestria soon enough.

I have to find the bearers of the Elements of Harmony... the new bearers of the Elements of Harmony. I've only found two so far. It's the only thing that can activate The Gardens of Equestria.

And since not all of the new bearers are here right now, or not even born yet, or The Garden of Equestria not even made yet, you can see I don't have much choice but to wait here, even though I want to go back to the wasteland.

[She nods slightly as Little pip talks. From the sounds of her world, it was much worse off than hers. Something Rarity had hoped wasn't possible in any form of Equestria.]

It sounds like you have quite the task set upon your shoulders Littlepip. Things like that can be rather stressful, and honestly waiting is one of the most stressful things a pony can do when they are attempting to change the world.

[She smiles slightly.]

We once had to wait a month for Twilight to recover from her ordeals before really attacking the enemy. So we were forced to wait in the Canterlot UnderCity and do small raids for supplies and the occasional light attack on patrol units.

I suppose it did leave us plenty of time to train ourselves up a bit. The lessons from Princess Luna definitely helped against General Esteem.

[Littlepip smiles sadly.]

Heh... I guess at least I don't have to face any wars. Just find people.

...Can you tell me more about that sword?

[At Littlepip's request to know more, she calls her sword over again, letting it break apart into its individual pieces and float in front of them. Rarity idly twirled the bridge piece around as she contemplated it for a few moments.]

I think there's no harm in that. I've only ever really explained to one pony how it works and that was Twilight. She attempted to make her own and her results were rather shocking, even by my standards.

You see, this sword is created by unicorn battle magic. The blade itself is unique to the user and can only be used by the person who created it. Most ponies make their blades out of a magically conductive metal and the size and composition of the blade depends on the magic and will of the castor.

[Slowly she started all the other pieces spinning.]

For instance, my blade. Vorpal contains fourteen irregularly cut gems specifically designed to tessellate together to form the sword you saw earlier. I created her myself selecting and cutting each diamond to work together. As you can guess, it took some time to accomplish. And then...

Well, the spell to create her is a rather difficult one. I'm not just using telekinesis to command her. That would be easy. However, you would loose accuracy and control. There is much, much more to it than that.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Knowing that, can you guess why my sword is made of diamonds instead of metal like other ponies?

Uh...

[Littlepip doesn't know exactly why. What does The Ministry of Image have to do with diamonds?]

...They're pretty to look at? The individual diamonds could make for good distractions.

Well, they do look rather pretty. But, diamonds are among the hardest material known to exist. Now, take a look at my cutie mark. You could say finding gems is a specialty of mine.

It takes talent and vision to see an imperfect gem and see the potential it has inside to become beautiful. Finding beauty is my special talent.

You see the spell weaponsizes your special talent. It's.. a rather personal and complicated piece of spell work. In a sense, the sword is an extension of my magic.

[Littlepip does indeed take this opportunity to look at Rarity's cutie mark.

...

That is as lovely a flank as the last time she saw it. Perhaps even moreso given that this isn't a memory orb.

...]

[Littlepip manages to look away and address Rarity.]

Erm. I... don't think I would be able to wield a sword like that. I've never gotten the hang of any other spell besides Telekinesis.

Honestly? I would be surprised if you could. Not every unicorn can manage it. It takes a certain level of focus and the right special talent. Most of the time, it is usually a pony with a magical talent that can create a sword.

Besides, I find that telekinesis is a rather handy thing to know.

Well... do you know where I can find any energy weapons just in case? I know guns aren't meant to be seen in this time, but it's good to be prepared, right?

Energy weapon?

[Rarity gave her newest companion a curious look.]

I'm afraid not darling. You might wish to ask one of the Luna's. They might have an idea if there are any about.

As for being prepared, I most definitely agree just so long as you don't go over board with your preparedness.
