BrynnFlynn Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I don't even have a picture of her, but this horse was f*cking incredible. I knew she was special when the stablemaster outside of Whiterun told me she was 'high-spirited'. No kidding--the first time I got off her back to swat down a wolf she killed it before my feet even touched the ground. After a few hours of play it became "The Adventures of Brynn Sleetwind and Pony... Oh and Lydia Too I Guess". When a dragon swooped down on me for the first time, it was Pony who delivered the killing blow. When we were ambushed by our second dragon coming down out of the hills it was Pony who lead the charge, leaving me and Lydia running after her flashing hooves. The third dragon didn't even stand a chance--despite being left at a shrine on the mountaintop for safekeeping Pony leaped to my defense and took fire to the face in order to save my life. I guess Lydia was jealous of all the attention I was paying to Pony, because just after we took out the dragon we came across three wolves. Pony and I ran in to wipe them out, leaving Lydia choking on our dust... Snow... Whatever. I had just given her a staff that apparently can lob fireballs, because the next thing I knew my screen filled with roaring flame. Once the fire died down I could make out the charred corpses of two wolves, but no sign of the third wolf or of Pony. Desperate I ran around that mountain top for the better part of twenty minutes trying to find where Pony had run off to. The third wolf fell out of the sky, and so I began scouring the heavens. Just over the pass I found a camp of dead bandits, but no sign of Pony. Frantic, I fast-travelled (something I never do) back to Whiterun, hoping against hope that Pony would be waiting for me at the stables. Alas, all I found was her identical twin sister and a smug stablemaster asking for another 1,000 gold. I would pay 10,000 gold to have Pony back. I will probably give up the last day of progress just to save Pony from her fate, her destiny to vanish like Romulus in a cloud of flames and snow, called home by the gods of horsedom. Goodbye Pony. No one will ever be able to replace you. And don't worry--Lydia is going to take a dagger to the back just as soon as I get out of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cppcooper Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 :cry:That was such a wonderful eulogy! I hope Lydia wasn't at the funeral to hear it; she might stand in a corner every time you're around. Total brony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge12 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 My first pony died while I was inside some building. I left her out of the way, and when I returned she was dead. It was sad. So, I go and buy a new pony! My new pony was amazing. Look at it. Anyways, I'm riding to a mine and I hear a roar. I look up and see giant wings flapping over me. I dismount and put some distance between my new pony and me, I can't bear to lose another pony. I start shooting arrows at the dragon. Dragon ignores me flies to pony and flames her, and she dies.

Germonicus Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 RIP Pony,touched my heart to hear the story of the love between a man and his horsey.I guess Lydia may just be attracted to you and she found it hard to get your attention while Pony and you were an "item" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saldu Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Nice story, but how come my horses never fight dragons, they always run as fast as they can, as far as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrynnFlynn Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Nice story, but how come my horses never fight dragons, they always run as fast as they can, as far as they can.Because your horse is not Pony. And Pony is badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluechase Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I've lost one horse - no trace, no dead body but hasn't returned to the Solitude stables either. No "twin sister for sale" either. In fact, the dialog was there, I could buy a horse again but there was no horse saddled, only the naked one to steal. Strangely, my lost horse seems to have appeared in Riften but I don't seem to own it any more. I was so sad about it all that now I keep saved games such that I can always go back to where the horse is still intact and on a known location. I don't mind losing progress at all. I do mind mourning even a virtual horse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
