Well, no reason to keep anypony from going to bed or even risk waking them up. Let’s head off towards Ponyville and the guild.
As the sun continues its ascent in the fair morning sky, the soft rustling of the forest’s foliage lulls Starfalls Town to sleep. You decide to leave the bat ponies to their peaceful slumber, and resume your flight eastward.
After flying over a burbling stream and past the distant ruins of the Everfree Castle, you glide down to the southern edge of a wide awake Ponyville. Then, following the directions from the letter, you begin making your way north of the busy town square.
Before long, you find a building matching the description you were given: a moderately large establishment with blue banners flanking a gold-crested door. Above the door, a decorated sign reads: “Equestrian Voyagers Agency.”
Moonflower: “Ooh, we’re here!”
You nod, and enter the guild hall together. However, before you can so much as take a look around, you are greeted by the enthusiastic receptionist.
Receptionist: “Hi, and welcome to the Equestrian Voyagers Agency! My name is Pinkie Pie, and you must be Moonflower and Trailblazer!”
You ask if she was expecting you.
Pinkie Pie: “Nope! I just heard Twilight talk about a bat pony with glowy eyes and what she thinks could be the only alicorn prince in all of Equestrian history! So when I saw you two walk in, I took a teensy little peek, and thought to myself: yup! That’s them!”
While you’re still not quite sure how princely you feel, you decide to let it slide, and ask Pinkie Pie what she can tell you about the guild.
Pinkie Pie: “Oh yeah! The Equestrian Voyagers Agency is a guild for daring adventurers who are willing to brave the unknown — to chart the uncharted, and discover the undiscovered!
Have you ever been on a long and arduous quest, far away from home, and then your tummy grumbles because you’re really hungry, and you still have that grass sandwich you packed earlier, but it’s gotten a bit stale, and there’s this super-duper delicious-looking cake you can smell from across the street, but then you find out that you’re all out of bits? Just me? Well, let me tell you: it’s the worst feeling!
And that’s where the Agency comes in to save the day! Whenever you travel under our banner, we’ve got your backs — and your bellies — covered! That’s right: any transportation, lodging and food costs are on us. That means it’s free for you! What a deal!
But wait, there’s more! Have you ever wanted to send a message back home, but there’s no post office in the village, region, or dimension you’re in? Well you’re in luck, because we’ve got all kinds of animals trained to deliver mail from and back to you, wherever you are in the world! You’ll never feel alone again!”
Moonflower: “Oooh! Cool!”
You admit that those do sound like interesting benefits to have, but you can’t imagine that it all comes for free. Curious, you ask Pinkie Pie about how committed a member becomes to the guild.
Pinkie Pie: “Good question! Agents represent not only the guild, but also their sponsor, and all of Equestria. Now, I know what you’re thinking: holy moly that’s a lotta responsibility! And you’re right, it is!
If you’re thinking of trying it out, don’t you worry — if you don’t like it, you can reclaim your independence any time you want! EXCEPT… during a voyage. Oh! Voyages are what we call the adventures you go on outside of Equestria. Agents can choose to plan their own voyages, or pick from the Sponsored Voyage Board right here!”
The pink mare gestures to a posting board behind her. You quickly skim through the three offers already on the board. The offers read:
“The Canterlot Museum of Equestrian History is looking for an artifact from the Castle of Pegalithos depicting Commander Hurricane’s coat of arms.”
“Manehattan Music Management is searching for pop star Dirt Flaxen who disappeared after a failed tour around the Kirin Empire.
“An independent sponsor requests any and all information about Elves.”
Pinkie Pie: “Anyway — those are the big rules: be on your best behaviour, and finish what you started. It’s kinda like good table manners, if you think about! Ooh, now I’m hungry. Did I mention we serve cupcakes in the other room? I bake them myself!”
