@@Driz,@@Scribblegroove, Mastema didn't mind the presence of the Princesses. Right now his focus was at the unicorn in front of him. He pushed his black/grey mane away from his forehead seeking to examine her. "You got lucky... I swear you ponies aren't careful sometimes. The latent energy from the Negative Plane may harm you! Remember... always cast a Negative Plane Protection spell on yourself first. That way the spirits won't be able to harm you or touch you." At that time he realized he was babbling and had ignored a question so instead he backed down and let her have some air before responding. He gently bent his head forward while holding a hoof at the height of the Caduceus pendant he had on him, bowing kindly to the white unicorn with the pink mane. "My name is Mastema, Mastema Ironheart. Before you ask why i am here i will tell you myself. I have been robbed lady... Maya right? I think I heard your name when you came back from you visions or whatever it is you tapped into. Anyways... i came here to help you and the rest... i was robbed as well and i believe i can help you on this quest you have embarked to."

Selune sighed. It was kind of embarrassing to tell the story, especially when she had already "confessed" it in a way earlier. "You see when i was little i was blind, my eyes were pitch black and the magic within them didn't stabilize quite well. My lineage had magic within the eyes. But mine wouldn't settle down, and whatever the doctors did they couldn't fix it. I was sure to die if this continued for too long." It was like a sad piano music was playing in the rythm of her words, slow, and steady. "Eventually my mother who was a seer saw a way out of this. She said that the sun and the moon had to shine in my eyes together. We traveled across Equestria to find such a place and we eventually reached the frozen north and saw Aurora Borealis. There the full moon's glow reflected upon my eyes and i finally saw..." It might have seemed like she was derailing but this was important as well. "From that time however every time i was under pressure i... "changed". I wasn't aware at first but those who witnessed "her" said her name was Shar and that she was like me but had a strange dark crimson glow around her... like if she was tainted." she looked at her own hooves as if fearing a transformation right there and then. "Some stallions decided to "stop" this... they took it too far. They wanted to scare me at first but then they started touching me the wrong way. "Shar" didn't like that... at all. She fully surfaced that time... and she... she..." she started trembling, she clenched her hooves angry to herself. "She killed them! And every time someone touched me the wrong way she came out. It took me time to escape her grip, to find a way to stop her, to strengthen my mental defenses." She raised her eyes in a silent plea. "It becomes tiring you know? It's taxing to try and love, try to find solidarity, to be with your own family... when someone like her dwells in my mind."

@@Scribblegroove,@, Mastema though about what the other stallion had said. "Wish Scribe right? Maybe you are right... maybe they didn't steal the heart, maybe they just tampered with it. Or they just placed something nearby to activate remotely from the mountains. It's always a possibility worth checking." Crowley spoke about his theory yet he wasn't certain of it. "True... but we don't know what exactly the amplification is for. A catalyst has two uses... it either makes casting the magic easier, but the magic itself might not be the destination. I mean... they might be calling forth something, gathering it. A crazy assumption would be a chaos implosion bomb, but i don't know. I just prefer to have my back covered from all sides. Scribe? you dont suppose the magic might be gathered for an unlock but rather to a pony, and i dare say that the one with such power may rival even your Vanguards. By Vanguards i mean your Leaders, the Princesses and others. Someone is playing a dangerous power-play..." @@Driz,((OOC:Please tell me if i'm not supposed to do this if she's too far away or whatever...)) This Maya unicorn necromancer right? He wasn't sure of what to feel about her. So long as she didn't disrupt the balance of nature he was fine with it. Conversing with the dead was also something the dead did. So long as he didn't see a walking shambling corpse that would be fine. He heard her from the spot he was and it wasn't long before he rushed to her side. He had a keen ear for sounds that required aid, and he wasn't about to falter "Hey take it easy! You need help! Here before you go anywhere drink some water." he said giving her his own water. "Careful with your magic..."

Selune facehooved at her response and went inside in shame. When they settled Selune started talking... "I... have a mental problem. I think you are the one that can help me. Of course i don't know... i am not sure. It's something that sounds too good to be true but still i have to take my chances. But first things first... before i tell you what exactly the problem it is... are you willing to aid me? I wouldn't like to waste your time with un-necessary questions. I really don't like being a bother."

Granted. Enjoy your instant rotten noodles. I wish i was god no matter who believed me.

I know i know i looked them up. Anyways thanks its perfect!!

Did you just hold a grudge?

N/A Subjective opinion.

@@Sidon Aldermane,It's awesome truly! But could we do some slight adjustments? It's not much i promise it's just the choice of the markings bottom left and top middle circles ((the small ones)) resemble the "female" symbol. It would be okay if the character was female but he isn't. I hope that's not too much. Still you make it look awesome and i thank you for that!!!

Granted. The meeting causes a rupture in the spacetime continuum that destroys the multiverse. I wish i wasnt a coward.

Just hanging around here until it opens by any chance.

Granted but the Enterprise is in Equestria rendering the portals useless. I wish i wasnt a whimp.

Equine.

Granted. However people misheard what you said and brought ninjas instead. I wish i didnt panic when i was under pressure and forgot things.

Granted but your dog ate it as soon as you finished it. I wish i didnt forget anything... Bad or good.

@@Scribblegroove, @, @@PathfinderCS, @@Driz, While the others talked Mastema contemplated. They had tried to steal many things from him but that wasn't the half of what they seemed to get. Maybe it would help his thought process if he talked about things they had stolen from him "Yea... Well nobody steals from Mastema and gets away with it! I guess i should tell you what they stole from me. Many things... most of which fall under the category of magical catalysts. That means that what they are trying to do is pretty hard. You mentioned chaos magic right? As far as i know chaos magic specializes in changing the nature of everything around it. As you may know Alchemy specializes in that sector... it's known to us alchemists that this part of science evolved due to the need to convert other items to precious metals including gold. But the science itself seems to have surpassed this. I believe the Crystal heart itself was not stolen due to its' current function. Anyone smart enough will realize that this organization isn't benevolent at all. He just sat on his hind legs pondering the things that could happen with the heart. Wait a minute... "You said they stole the Crystal Heart. See i haven't studied the heart itself but crystals have many properties, transformative and amplificative. This means they excel at amplifying magic. What they need it for is to widen the radius of the magic they are casting. They intend to cast something that will envelop all of Equestria in its' effect. If it's got something to do with chaos magic then certainly it won't be good. They stole for me magical catalysts to facilitate it. The book probably is going to help them with that, i wouldn't be surprised if Starswirl's book had to do something with that. The magic they are trying to cast is possibly new and unknown. Hmm... Any ideas?"

@@Scribblegroove, Terra shrugged as if the remarks didn't reach him at all. He smiled... "Regardless combat is combat... if you're not careful, if you can't adapt then you will die... simple and cold like that. Doesn't matter what you do! But anyways we'll see everyone in action! It's the best way to determine each other's worth, skills, and greatness." he did the victory shine and gave everyone a toothly smile. Unfortunately the hippogryph made a remark that... well... irked him. @, "EXCUUUUSE me but if manners are mistaken sexual harassment here then the word has gone more wrong that i'd expect. But anyways... we all need a little chill pill here. I am Terra by the way... nice to meet you Stinger and... Atheia right? Oh and this is Fenix my phoenix." as he said that the bird flew a spiral up and let his fire shine a bit brighter. He laughed a bit "Calm down Fenix stop being a showoff!" @@Commander Tangent, "Agnus is right... everyone has a part to play. Let's just satisfy ourselves by doing what we do best!" A simple answer yet satisfactory... well to most at least. Everyone seemed to be overwhelmed by the coldness of combat yet this wasn't what bothered him, at least not directly... He was a bit dissapointed that the environment had gotten to them so much over the time. @@Windbreaker, Terra couldn't be fooled, past the skin Faith was... taken aback from what was said here. Fenix bit his ear a bit shaking him from his inactivity, like if trying to tell him to do something. Fenix took a feather from his many and gave it to him, Terra in turn smiled as he took it and handed it to Faith. "Take this... now you have a piece of us whenever you need it. Oh... and if you are in need burn the feather and Fenix will tell me. Sounds cool?" he gave her a friendly salute before continuing to follow Gilda. It was all he could do not knowing what lied ahead, he wished the briefing would be quick.

Granted... but they don't know who he is so they won't find him. I wish i was omnipotent.

Chaotic

Granted but only in your head. Iwish Queen Chrysalis had a daughter.
