Description:
Clover gasps, shocked that it’s her Uncle! Even though she never met him before, how could he recognize her? Is he going to take her home? Why is he posing as a pirate?
“Uh… kid? I’m not your real Uncle. I meant for you to PRETEND I’m your Uncle, ‘cause my getup isn’t too much of a disguise, and the security is gonna be a bit tighter than normal.” Silverwind then proceed to remove his treasure chest cutiemark with a wipe of a washcloth.
“Usually I use a sticker, but since we weren’t gonna get wet, paint is just as fine. Now… I don’t pose as a pirate. I AM a pirate. But famous pirates tend to be hunted more than traders, so a disguise is necessary for port. The guards are always looking for Highwind, never Silverwind. Make sense? Besides, usually I wear an eye patch, too, but Coin Toss is friendly, so I went without it. But he still doesn’t know my real name. And no, I’m not taking you home. You know too much. Instead, you’re going to work for me and destroy this book. It can’t fall into anyone’s hooves, not even Royalty. In fact, Coin was trying to keep it AWAY from just that. A lot of ponies don’t trust these new Princesses.”
Clover sighs in relief. She got all worked up for nothing! Out of curiosity, she asks if she can try on the beard. Highwind chuckles. “Sure thing, lil’ one.” He says, sticking it to your muzzle with a grin. You ARE A PIRATE!”
Clover wants to know more about the book, and Silverwind simply lifts up the package. “From what we know about it, it’s not enchanted and it’s not possessed. But the magic in here is powerful. Reading it will either blast you full of energy, or make you explode. And the thing whispers, too. Hold it in your hooves too long and it’ll start whispering in some kind of weird tongue. Not only that, but it’s bound to whoever willingly accepts it from the previous Owner, so tossing it out isn’t going to help. Anymore questions?”
