Like Snow Tail, I didn't expect Torrential to respond like that. It's really interesting, and I wonder who Torrential was thinking about. Excellent entry, Bright_Ops :)
Both pegasi looked at Torrential when he didn't answer their inquiries right away. He stood there, eyes at the mercenary on his back, yet they seemed to be looking far beyond her. Tail was confused, having expected a playful response. Her smile faded and her face became one of bewilderment.
Dancer froze. Was something wrong? Did Snow accidentally offend him?! thought the Scholar. She personally had never seen him rage. But she saw those who received Torrential's wrath. Oh Celestia, I hope he's not-
Torrential broke his silence and gave Snow his reply. Dancer relaxed, and Tail began to blush. I expected some more foreplay, but… I never expected a complement, thought Snow. She gave a short bow with her head, and said "Thank you."
The trio continued in the direction indicated by Torrential. Under the alicorn's wing, Dancer was near his cool yet welcoming body. Her heart beat rose, thoughts as mixed up as her emotions. Respect or romance? I can't tell if how he loves me. I can't even tell how I feel about him. I love him as well, but in what way?
I wonder if Scroll feels the same about the Lady Sliver. Though, at least Lord Rain has a very nice mane.
Arriving at their destination, Tail still resting on Torrential's back. She was exhausted from her earlier excitement and long journey. Though she kept vigilant - for Equestria was no longer the safe paradise it had once been. In fact, Snow Tail was barely a year old when the Sisters' disappeared. Try as I might, I can never imagine this world without war, she thought sadly.
On the other hoof, Dancer was old enough to remember the Sisters. She might have been far young for a university student, but she was smart and talented. Alas, you we're not born a unicorn! lamented one teacher. She remembered the well tended weather, the wonderful festivals, and most of all, the peace and happiness before the Division. Those memories seemed to awake at the sight of the ruins.
"This must have been a agricultural complex," said Star.
"How can you tell?", asked Tail. "If it weren't for the fence, I'd swear no pony was ever here before."
"Back before the Disappearance, there used to be ranches like this all through the land. Now I think only in a few lands were they exist." She tactfully did not mention that Earthborn was one of those lands. "Everywhere else is either a state-operated complex, if not a slave dome. And even those owned privately tend to look like little fortresses."
Bats flew through the air, and the mercenary stiffened. But it was not to ready herself for defense. Eyes now large as saucers, Snow began to shiver and even her already white coat seemed to pale. Fear gripped her, and she closed her eyes and hugged Torrential. It was a hug asking for help.

It's that time of year again, when school starts and there's always that massive influx of homework Xp

I don't mind. You just go ahead :)
Thanks :) We finally get to look deeper into Charter's past, and see what makes him a bit anxious.
Sweeper continued to tidy Summer Wind's armor. "Ironic don't ya think? Soldiers are expected to maintain an orderly appearance, yet your job ends up getting your uniform all messed up. By the way, what did you think of the mane?" She held up the 'spoil of war' again to show the pegasi.
Two Years Ago…
Foaledo burned. The sun set, and with the fires in the distance, the sky became as blood. In every street and in many buildings the cries of battle was heard. Soldiers in White battled troops in purple, the streets flowing crimson. Arrows flew through the air, while cannons blasted wall and flesh. Unicorns were casting spells so often that the air seemed thick with magic. There were so many screams, it seemed too much to any who heard.
Charter was running through the streets, avoiding debris and stumbling over bodies. With him was his a peer named Leaf Hopper - she too was trotting at a frantic pace. Above them a tower was hit by cannon fire and collapsed to the ground. A low flyby by Whitegold pegasi caused windows to shatter. Glass and stone left cuts on both Scholars.
The green unicorn face was covered in sweat, and looked above to make sure nothing or nopony would fall on them. Already two pegasi and a unicorn Seraph had nearly fallen on the pair. The anti-flight batteries must be covering the air with arrows and shot thought Charter. It'd be madness to try to escape through the sk-
A flash, and explosion in the sky ended his thoughts. Looking above he saw an airship on fire, falling slowly as it's balloon was slowly engulfed. Several ponies jumped, with parachutes or wings opened. Alas, they were cut down by flak or sunfire.
Distracted by the horrid sight, he tripped over a corpse. He looked and saw the richly tailored suit of a Pony of Fortune. A spear in engulfed in the earth pony, but otherwise the corpse could have been mistaken for alive. Charter gasped, but soon relaxed. He was bewildered by how peaceful the solider looked, as if smiling for finding peace.
A wall nearby exploded, sending stone and metal in every direction. Chance had saved Charter. When the dust cleared, he saw the headless body of Leaf. The unicorn wandered over to the body, her Scholar's cloak was blown clear off. Tears formed in Charters eyes, falling on the now departed botanist. The world seemed to dim around him, sounds seem far off. Shivers spread through his body, his heart became like lead.
He took off his cloak and lay it over Leaf, said a prayer, and then continued his trot. Leaf was gone, but the unicorn needed to keep on moving. It was difficult to keep focus, but he needed to pay attention to keep alive. With any luck he could make it to the Research Center, were hopefully the other Scholars waited. Among them, he hoped, was Vista.
In the shadows, he did not see a figure. Dressed in motley, the pony seemed out of place in a battlefield. A grin covered his face, though it was hidden behind a mask. One could call it comical, save for the blood splattered across the visage. No sounds came from the pony, through he cocked his head to the side. When it seemed safe, the Jester followed.
