Spectra would glare slightly at Operata as he walked off. Her silent expression spoke volumes. She wasn't pleased of him speaking up to Jade Eye or speaking at all during this situation. He was to remain silent, when she was talking. Unless he was directly benefiting her in some way - she preferred him not to talk. Though, this went for anyone she met. Either you benefit her, or you best bug off - or worse.
Jade Eye could see that she wasn't particularly pleased with Operata and she were silent for a bit, before she would gaze back at him as if that little disruption hadn't happened. Spectra would look into his eyes deeply, after taking note of his golden arm. Not something she was going to ask about. She wasn't here for personal details - and if she were to ask, it'd perhaps ward him away from answering her statements.
"I'm going to be frank, with you." Spectra would say, leaning forward. "I am looking for anything of powerful defensive measure. Something that is capable of nullifying Harmony based, or otherwise powerful magic. I am aware this may be a tall order of something to ask, and I am prepared to offer what I can in turn. Of course, anything you are willing to put on the table - we will discuss." she spoke. "Even if you know where something like that could be, or if you know others who have something like that, or what have you, that will do nicely for me." she spoke. It was clear that Spectra was after something quite powerful. Though the reasons for it were of course unknown. Jade Eye was free to speculate. Spectra was merely testing the waters here, of course.
Spectra would relax slightly, showing symbolically that the ball was now in Jade Eye's court.

(Magloria)
Magloria would look to Veil as she spoke, processing her words. It came to her mind that she was truly just a school filly trapped inside of a bodily construct that didn't belong to her. Magloria cannot imagine what it would be like to live in such a predicament, and no matter how hard she tried to hide it - she felt sympathy. Though her tactical mind told her that she was not going to let that sympathy impede in the way of her mission. Take down Spectra. Reveal the truth about her to the authorities.
The more she thought about this - the more and more Magloria was less likely to keep her secrets to herself. Her life ended over a thousand years ago. Her old profession was forgotten, as well as all the ones she once knew were all dead. With a sigh, she would look to Veil once more.
"I am a Zorse. I am not a Pony, like you were. I am a hybrid, between a Unicorn Mother and a Zebra father. You do not see this now, because I have grown into inheriting more of my Mother than my Father. In my youth, it was more obvious. In my youth, I was ostracized for being a mixed race. As a foal, my zebra stripes were far more obvious. I turned my hatred of feeling like that, into becoming an Elite Guard, tasked with protecting those aboard sailing vessels. When the captain died, I took command, and lead the charting of Equestrian shores for years. That was, until Spectra came along, with the promises of power - ones that I admittedly, was tempted by. When I refused, she trapped me within that Orb, stole my abilities for herself - with the intention of using them in war." she would say in a matter of fact tone.
"While my former life has died, I will do whatever it takes to remove Spectra was a threat to Equestria. The less she is known, the more power she has. That was what she has always done. Secrecy is power." she sighed, a look of disgust came across her face. "Yet, I am granted another life to do what I never thought would be possible. Am I thankful?" Magloria asked, not finishing that question. Magloria looked more than disgusted at what she had just revealed, but she felt it was a gesture of trust was in order for such a profound task that lay ahead of them. "Whatever goals Spectra has in store for Equestria, it would involve upending an order that has existed for thousands of years, without any other reason other than her own selfish greed. She must be stopped." Magloria could only sigh, rolling her eyes mentally.
Magloria would go silent for the next little while, and would notice that bear that they nearly had an encounter with. It had been a thousand years since she had seen another animal, she realized. She looked on at the bear, with a newfound and silent appreciation as they continued onward. She'd look to Veil as she spoke about Ursa Major Bears. "I have encountered a few and lived to tell the tale. You don't defeat them. You just run." she stated in a matter of fact tone. Magloria listened more to what Veil had to say.
"Never would have guessed such a rift...a Princess being trapped inside the actual moon is something of a fairytale, but I won't dismiss it. I am sure that Princess Luna and these...Elements would be instrumental in defeating Spectra, for that is far beyond my arsenal." Magloria sighed, the amount of information was overwhelming - but that was to be expected, for a thousand years had passed after all, since she was part of the world.
