@@Illiad Easle, @@Drago Ryder, "Blitz is the neko you were traveling with right?" Chain questioned Gale "Wait I haven't got caught up yet" "Later, I think he may be in danger" "I guess no one gets left behind, Gale right?" She looks at the dragon "Try to find him from above, if there's danger, alert us immediately" Banner said making her voice sound like a generals "I guess Banner's showing off her specialty, lead us to him Black Knight"

@@Illiad Easle, @@Drago Ryder, "I'm not saying that at all, just telling a story" Chain said as he got his spear out and magic ready for an attack "I'm not a jerk that tries to get others possessions" Banner prepares her sword "Thanks but I think we should stick with as much people we can now, I don't want us getting hurt by what ever our group leader said was in the forests...I hope its just some bandits or a wild animal" She said not feeling the magical energy and walked to where Chain was (I forgot to mention @, )

@@Drago Ryder, "Things just work out that way, I could tell you the time we met another dimensional traveler, he provided the first thing we brought back to Celestia, that was a pair of boots that when stomped on the ground produced fire and a small tremor around the person...he said he didn't need it" Chain was thinking "I wouldn't be surprised if we found another dimensional traveler, and one from a similar world at that" He said looking to The Black Knight

@@Acnologia, "Well if your guess was a big no then your right" Banner replied "Whenever I'm out doing anything and I meet some person I like, always seem to go to far...then again I do drink a bit and when ever I think somethings going to happen between me and them they come up with a counter of why it cant happen or that they don't feel the same" Banner sighs "I was built for fighting, I'm happy I was" She paused, looking a little angry, but goes back to talking normal "it was at the cost of me being barely able to see social queues and such so I kind of gave up on it but Chain still teases me about it" Banner does a nervous chuckle "I was stupid back then" @@Drago Ryder, Chain keeps talking to Gale about him and the world he came from, he didn't think it would be an issue.

@@Acnologia, There was a silence between the two again as Kyubi said that "That's the reaction I normally thing of when I tell people" Banner sighs "Trust me, there's no way that I'd let that happen without some sort of pain on the end with worst ideals...one time me and Chain came back to a world safety" She lied throw her teeth "I promise that we could do it a lot easier than you think"

@@Acnologia, @@Drago Ryder, "Glad that so many people could have had that moment at the same time" Chain said looking at the people around "Quite unique people too" "I mean you are right, plus even if this goes horribly like another world I was in, we can always retreat to my world and close the portal so that they can't get in...of course this world may never be seen again since only Celestia can make the connection that will link worlds and she forgets a lot of them because of how many ponies she sends. She has a book full of all the certain magic she puts in it but it's like picky thing with magic like that, making connections to similar worlds, having the world be at the time period other than the one were in or having it be the right world but far off on location. Hell it could be on another planet entirely" She explains "But lets not worry about that, the only thing we should think of now is to do our best to make the best of the world, right?" She tried to make a lighter note

@@Colenso Rivers, Rachel rushed to the door, bringing Riften with her "Where the hell are you going!" "Breaking the curse!" "You got to be kidding me" Veronica has her hand in her face "Riften, you made maps right?" "Uh...yeah?" He said uncomfortably "You have a map about that trail with the sign right?" "Yes" He brings it out "How will this he-" She takes the map "If I'm correct, there should at least be a path to the place we can correct this or at least some thing to indicate it and I think that sign is exactly that" She says reading the map like she's trying to memorize it "We'll brake that curse come hell or high water!" She said almost uncharacteristically enthusiastic. Banner goes to Lucian "Once she's set on it, she cant be stopped...even if one of us actually died on the way she will still do it for a reason she convinces herself of as the right thing" "So I think we have to leave now, even if I really need another hour of rest" Veronica added hoping Lucian would do something to help, other than just saying that they were doomed. Meanwhile Throg was writing something down on a paper next to the door "We got to hurry so you two need to hurry up!" she yelled even though it hasn't even been 30 seconds

@@Acnologia, "The think is, we want somethings to spill into it, the whole mission is to gather powerful warriors, artifacts, anything that could help the empire...hell they said we could try to make trade routes if possible" Banner said trying to remember what Celestia said "Anyway the world I come from has ponies rule the world, well most of it, there are talking dragons, griffons, changeling which are a pain in the ass, and many more creatures that also control land but...there are a lot of insane things in the world as well that could very well destroy the Equestrian empire and that's why they want help from other dimensions from how bountiful the resources are" Banner explained this like she had said it multiple times before "And it brings in a bunch of things for the citizens to try and go places they could only dream about going" She said with a happy expression that slowly faded "Of course it could also bring the undoing of everyone if it fell into the wrong hands, so that's why scouts like us are sent first with limited supplies"

@@Colenso Rivers, They all got chills down there spine "N-nothing you can do?" Veronica said shivering in fear "Alright, who did it, who was about to do something wicked?!" Banner yelled getting on the stairs for more leverage "How do we know it wasn't you?" "I would own up to my mistakes and ask for help, that's what I think the person who did this should also do" Veronica steps up with Banner "She can vogue for me that I fell asleep around the same time she did and she didn't here any noise from me" "Speaking of noise" She stared at Riften which made him unconformable "I think I heard you talking in the room next to ours, something about a her and how you would take her away" "I didn't think it was wicked to bring Veronica back to her home ok?!" He yelled with a tear coming down from his face "I was sent to protect her and I thought we would be here for a while so I made a message with this crystal to try and bring her home" Veronica looked disgusted "You were hired right?" "Yes, I was one of your personal far away guards, the ones and roofs or in buildings spying on where you went. They said to put on this persona to make me less guessable" his voice deepened as he was looking around worried "Wait" Banner spoke up "I don't think it was Riften that caused this, it doesn't seem wicked, he didn't want to kill anyone on us and I'm sure it was just for protection" Veronica sighs "I guess your right" Throg and Rachel were now the focus. Rachel was bickering this whole time about how Lucian just gave up on helping them and that even though it pained her to say it, these were her friends she needed to help. Throg held Rachel back from doing anything but turned his head as the others looked at him which gave an opening for Rachel to flee and get closer to Lucian "So there is nothing you can do to even help us?! No direction at all?" What looks like a tear in her eye forms as she yells

@@Colenso Rivers, The whole party raced down stairs hearing Lucian and the cackle of a madman "What the hell was that!?" Riften, out of breath came down last, holding something that looked like a crystal in his hands "So did it have to do with something about what Lucian said about the rules?" He said touching the ground off the stairs "And why would you get that idea, OF COURSE IT HAD TO DO WITH THAT" Rachel yelled. Banner noticed what Riften carried "What is that?" Riften hides the crystal in his pack "I use it as a protection measure, it has magic in it to make things back off" Throg glared at Riften, a glare that said 'Confess'. "I'm telling the truth guys, it does have magic in it! And I wasn't doing, or thinking, anything wrong!" He yelled in defense. The group all stared at each other "Stop pointing fingers right now because first we need to confirm all this with Lucian first, would this happen if we broke one of the rules?" She looked over to the child

@@Acnologia, @@Drago Ryder, "It does make sense, A dog barks and a cat meows" Chain ponders it for a second "Well its great to meet yet another ally to get to know, and one that seems nice" "Your right, I knew that even when I was a child" Banner said proudly "I mean if I wanted to go far as a protector then I had to...I'm still protecting to this day, in fact going on this adventure is still protecting the place I love and the the people I like" She smirks like she just did the best thing in her life and takes off her helmet to reveal her face

@@Illiad Easle, Chain gave a slight smirk "I'm not going to brag but, I called it" Chain turned to the dragon "I wasn't interrupting anything was I? I tend to do that sometimes" He looked a little down "Anyway, do you mind telling me your name?" He then realized that the dragon may not know his name "If they didn't tell you" He nodded to the Midnight and the black knight "my name is Chain, over there is Banner and Kyubi" He pointed with his thumb

@@Colenso Rivers, As dusk becomes night and most everyone is sleeping, a sudden jolt brings Banner up around 1am to find that the other bed still had Veronica, Banner sighed as she laid back down when she felt something off. Not from the room but from outside somewhere else...She thought she heard talking coming from the room right next to hers taken by Riften. As Banner came close to the wall she could hear a few words "She's fine...only 4 left...We'll take her away...her brother" he went on but That's all she could make of it, It made her have trouble sleeping but eventually she got some rest thinking, and hoping, it was a dream.

@@Acnologia, The two had some conversation with Kyubi as they traveled with the rest of the group, well mostly Banner as Chain was looking at The Black Knight most of the time seeing him talking with a dragon "You know you can go over there right? I'm not going to stop you and he is in distance to catch up" Chain sighs as he realized it was too obvious and walked away "So as I was saying, The only way to win the poker match against that kind of luck was cheating" She looked over to Chain to see his distance from them "And I was a little to good to think of it but Chain did it without a second thought" Banner kept sharing stories with Kyubi "Hey, I see you made a new friend" Chain said approaching the two in a jog "I didn't know that there were talking dragons here but its not like I have anything against it" He said trying to leave no misunderstandings (Sorry I was not responding)

@@Colenso Rivers, Veronica turns her head at the last part, like shes thinking of something bad "We have to share? Well I think the two guys should do it" She point to them "I need some personal time alone, like I do every night!" "Right because you sleep away from the group, you are so weird and I thought you would die" "Well I made sure I wouldn't end up like..." The group all looked a little down until "You can have your room, me and Banner will share a room" "Sure, it could be worst" Banner opened up the room for both of them while the others split off. Rachel probably said something about how stupid the rules were but everyone knew she would still follow them. Banner instantly went to the left bed "You know out of anyone, I was glad they agreed with me and you" "Why?" "Because I hate being alone at night and Rach-" "I get it, I just want some sleep right now" She thought about what Lucian said. If you harbor any wickedness, and you are within dark, keep your eyes closed until you are illuminated again. And about walking out. If you must venture, do so carefully and without evil in your heart. She just thought it was so weird that a Dismal would say things about evil that way, she was sure that she needed to be like Veronica right now and have an open mind but it was just off to her

@@Colenso Rivers, The second that Lucian left Rachel started eating with her hand. "Turns out I was wrong...doesn't matter, I'm perfectly fine" Her eye twitches a little "Just be calm ok? I didn't know either and I'm suspecting something" Banner says looking very tired "Lets go" "Yeah, I'm not done with my drawing anyway" "Why do you draw everyone you meet? I mean making maps is fine but why do you do that?" "I have reasons!" Riften puts both his hands on the table and glares at Banner "I didn't know you would get defensive" Banner walks out of the room, the rest follow shortly. "What did you want to show us?"

@@Colenso Rivers, Throg felt bad after that and now is looking away from anyone. "Well we are doing it unofficially, they don't know we are here and we have tried our very best to avoid all Dismal...your the first one we have even seen" "Are you sure you should tell him that?" "Pot says to kettle" Veronica says under her breath "I think that your right about the fighting, our group could not take on much, we are not armored, have no plan, and my magic is limited" "We also lack the weapons" Riften pipes up as She explains "Seeing as you haven't actually attacked us, without any of your input" She looks to Banner "I kind of trust you...I don't think that you have any connection to the main Dismal people" She looks at the house around her. Riften now got out another paper and looked at Lucian and stared writing on it, he looked back between his paper and him.

@@Colenso Rivers, Veronica nods, like she understands "Ah...a curse, that would make a lot of sense" The party now looks to Lucian. The big man pats Lucian's back. "How about we get a little more...happy? Like introductions, I am Riften" "Throg" "Veronica" "You know me, I'm Banner" Rachel still struggling with eating with the new utensils looks up for a second "Rachel, and all together we form this group wanting to do the thing the real Radiant army couldn't" Veronica hits Rachel's side "What? That's the only reason Radiant would come over" She goes back to eating as Veronica puts her head in her hands, pissed off. Banner is also doing the same.

@@Colenso Rivers, Veronica looked concerned about the age of the person doing all this "Is there...magic or something that makes you look that young? No offense of course" She said nervously as she ate. Banner was just eying him as Veronica said that, if she didn't say that Banner would have. On the other hand Rachel was struggling to use the new utensils, she didn't use the normal ones in the first place. It was like something no one could not notice.

@@Colenso Rivers, "That is understandable, we are a bit unnatural group" Veronica replied "What are these?" Rachel said looking at the eating implements next to the plates. Banner nudged Rachel and glared at her, Rachel huffed and sat down. "Its safe to say they never talked about the style that the Dismal lived in...or practically anything about there culture" The rest of the party stared at her "I like to keep an open mind and 'this'" She mentions to the room "Proves that not all are in for blood or something" "Yeah, I guess" Banner was still trying to make sense of it "Well I agree with Veronica as well" The man said siting down and getting a paper out that he started writing in. The rest sat down, Banner and The silent man surrounded Lucian. The only two not sitting on the left side was Veronica and Rachel.

@@Colenso Rivers, "See, were fine" Banner added "I think they just plan on providing a room, I would be just fine with that" "I would too...you know it does feel warmer in here" Veronica adds "Pfft, I was never cold" The women crosses her arms. The silent man pointed to a room where he saw Lucian "That would be our host" "I think he's making food, that is a dinning room" "It is" Veronica is the first to go over "You know this is all unnecessary, we have plenty of food on our own, a room is already going above and beyond with us" "I'm not one to pass up free food." The other women comes charging up "plus I think this is like a sort of hospitality sort of thing. I mean even if the manor is kind of run down, no offense, he probably treats his guests like kings" Banner approaches the hot blooded women "You know a good impression can get you far? I don't think your making a good one" Banner looks to Lucian "Ignore Rachel over here, she is...unique" "Is that supposed to be an insult!?" The big man walks in between Banner and Rachel "Don't shout" He says with a voice like he just ate gravel

@@Colenso Rivers, This is a Dismal? She thought a little dumb founded that she was not killed after thinking over the abandoned house line "Well Lucian...thanks" She didn't know how to react. She was about to jump throw a window or something if the knights did try to act...ok she knew she was basically screwed but now it seems alright, at least she thinks so. She snaps out of it "Right, my party are probably about to collapse, we have been traveling for a long time" She looks to the door that is barricaded "Sorry about that but I think a giant creature like that would scare anyone off from first glance" She slowly removes the barricade and leaves, looking to the roof as she backs away to where the rest are. When she arrives she finds the party still in tact "I found a place we can stay, its owned by this person who spared my life from being killed by things that serve him magically" "What I'm hearing is that he is a Dismal because there is no way an Orphan or Radiant would be out here" a women in a wizard like cloak says "You met at Dismal" A man writing something on a piece of paper says as he looks up. "Why didn't he just cut your head off? Did you tell him about us? Do you have a plan if he turns and destroys us all?!" A hot blooded, barley clothed, women yells at Banner. "Look, do you want to be out here in this cold forest? We have already lost one from a sickness" The party gets quite as they remember what happened. A very giant man gets up from a tree he was laying on and pats Banner's back "See Throg is supporting me" The wizard looking women sighs "Fine, I'll go along as well, if we die its your fault" She points to Banner "If Veronica is in, I am too!" the man jumps up and goes next to her "Touch me and sickness won't be the only thing to worry about" She stares menacingly at him "God, yeah lets all get killed!" She shouts "Fine" Banner says as she leads the others away "I was just- Don't leave me jerks!" she comes charging to the others At the door "This is hardly an upgrade from sleeping outside" "Shut up" Banner retorts "Now once we go in, don't piss him off, that is the number one rule" She opens the door "Decapitation in three, two, one-" She says trying to predict something or just trying to piss off Banner, maybe both. (I think I made a good group, they don't exactly like each other is what I was going for) ((also sorry for the wall of text))

@@Colenso Rivers, "Uhhh.." She was dumb founded, This person is a Dismal? She then remembers the question "No, I mean I just thought this house was abandoned so my party could rest here...I didn't even know that you or these things were here" She motions to the beings to both sides of her "I'll leave immediately if you let me, not even tell the people I'm with about you or this place" She knew that if her words did not please him or were not precise then she would be slain at an instant.

@@Colenso Rivers, Adrenalin was pumping throw her. This house is a death trap! She thought looking at the new danger coming closer to her. She pulled out a rapier she had as well as a buckler shield, if worst comes to worst she had to fight the armor against her better judgement. She dashed strait down the middle of the two trying to get to the stairs. She hoped she could use her rope to get down from the height, as well as hope the creature out there would not notice her leave a different way.

@@Colenso Rivers, Banner when seeing this knew that she had no chance alone with this creature, no matter how strong she was. She went in the building and slammed the door shut. She got anything she could and barricaded the door as best as she could. She started looking around rapidly at the door to the windows hoping for her life.
