But standing inside before these three Valkyries, it became apparent once again just how tall Artemis was for a pegasus -- and how well-built she was, too. It'd been obvious when shopping for dresses, of course, but a mare being frustrated that sizes didn't fit right was hardly a novel experience. Sometimes it seemed like nopony made clothing that fit any mares at all. But seeing Sparkshower towering a full head over two of these pegasi, and half a head over the third, really put her dimensions in perspective. The Valkyries were, after all, some of the strongest pegasi in the Equestrian Royal Guard. A whole battalion of mares, all flying around in heavy bronze plate armor.
