@Illiad Easle After eating, Trixie got up from the table and would exit through the hallways. Believing that any possible pursuers had lost sight of her she began to form a plan in her head. In her mind, she was free to roam wherever she wanted and had come up with the idea of eventually exploring each different area of the ship as possible. If not to get a feel of things, then it would be to get an idea of where everything was so she could hide in any spots just in case she was being pursued. Without her iconic cape and hat on, she believed that ponies would miss sight of her since they had never seen her cutie mark. She began to look for that library the old stallion spoke of. She remembered Twilight. The bookhorse. The element of magic. She remembered her duel with her among other things in the past. Those were the days. @Jack Baker @Illiad Easle Upon seeing the scene, a thought crossed Maud's mind. It was Discord's loyalists, or raiders. She looked to Raze, and would whisper quietly to him. "Loyalists of Discord. We must head back, and tell the others of this. We cannot take a group of ponies on, plus several spawn. It is illogical and dangerous to do so." she said with a perfectly monotone and logical voice. She began heading back., instructing Raze to do the same. She didn't want to call attention to herself, knowing how outnumbered they would be if they were noticed.

@Illiad Easle Cali laughed at what had happened, she was quite impressed by the alteration of the land he just did to the land. There was now trees and dirt covering where the temple was. It looked like an out of place hill, but one that concealed the temple perfectly. "I mean hey, that works perfectly as well! And about Discord, I know very little about him. I know about what he did, and I know what he is capable of doing but I know little else besides that. What is discord like...as in be around? What is he...like?" Cali would ask curiously, meaning no offense to him. With that, she would glance at the hill and walk off. Nothing bad happened.

@Catpone Cerberus Sparkly would hold the other cup with her 2 front hooves as she listened to Frail Spark talk. "If you don't mind I um, would like to um, feel what you feel like. I never touched another pony. I don't mean to be weird or anything but maybe we could snuggle up or something? I don't know if that is bad or anything but...you never had the chance to be with a princess in your home." Sparkly giggled cutely, she was an almost exact clone of Twilight Sparkle either way. "Either way we need to come up with a plan. Perhaps you could teach me your magic and how I can get around in this area without being noticed as a practical clone of one of your rulers." Sparkly adds with a giggle.

Oh no, I enjoyed his content and now its gone...

@Blitz Boom @Windy Breeze @Kujamih "Never thought about that honestly. But it has been this way for years so if something would have happened it would have already happened. I appreciate the concern but it'd be funny to see what these ponies think of my biology and all that too." Cali said to him, but appreciated his comments. Cali bursted out laughing at the small fireball there, it was cute. It was really cute. She couldn't help but walk over and pat the little filly on her back. "Could very well be the case but hey, that small fireball there is adorable!" she said and with her shapeshifting magic, her mane and tail bursted into blue flames as she laughed but then it went back to normal quickly, it was just some sort of example of what Cali can do. Upon seeing the scrapyard in the distance Cali giggled at the sight of it. "That is cute. Its a little itty bitty scrapyard that doesn't take up an entire CITY like where I am from..." she smiled at how small it appeared to her.

@Blitz Boom Magnolia smiled innocently at that. The thought crossed her mind of Zeehva being the parent she never had, she would have lived a much happier life that was for sure. She blushed somewhat at her words and was clearly quite happy with what she said. The blushing on Magnolia's face was quite cute and innocent. "Mhm, I love the thought of that. But you are my...first friend now so I suppose that will suffice just as good all things considered. You'll have to teach me what you did to me before. Even in those moments, you wanted to reach out to me and show me a better path. Not many could do that, and for that I say, thank you." she said with all the honesty and thankfulness she ever had. Magnolia loved her friend, and she would make sure to appreciate her friendship at each and every moment. Before Magnolia could address Zeehva's comment. She'd notice the elderly stallion, her head would tilt somewhat curiously at him. He had likely been listening in on their conversations but he seemed like he had meant no harm. She looked at his puff there with a varying degree of interest. "Well perhaps we will. Who are you by the way? We aren't from this are and had just arrived here. I'm afraid we don't really know how it works...don't mind us, we were having important discussions." Magnolia said in a more hushed up way at 'important discussions' with a degree of seriousness to it. Still though, her questions reigned. Hopefully this stallion was indeed leading them in the direction of an inn they could stay at.

Fun fact that is one of the things that inspired her

@ExplosionMare It would take Twilight at least another hour to find the answer. It seemed that the spell itself was designed for multiple ponies at once but Twilight had found out an alteration of the spell and had written some notes about the correct procedure to cast it on a notebook. It was fairly complicated but it would do. Twilight signaled to the guards that she was done and the guards had lead her out of her room and back towards the throne room. If Nightmare Moon was there, Twilight would give her the notes and tell her all about the spell. Nightmare Moon would learn that the batpony spell was rather complicated and costly. Way more costly than the cutie mark spell so it would be more tiring so Twilight warned against doing too much ponies at once. If Nightmare Moon was not there the guards and Twilight would wait until she arrived and then inform her on the spell. Outside the construction around the castle was largely finished but some ponies were hoisting moon shapes onto the top of the castle for decoration. The statues were all completed as well as the sidewalks and courtyard outside the castle.

@Illiad Easle "I mean you could always use your magic snap to like delete it from existence, if you are truly as powerful as Discord is. At the very least we could go inform local leaders in the area about this and have this Temple blocked off from intruders so nobody ends up getting hurt." Cali suggested with a slight shrug as she started to walk away from the temple itself.

@Widdershins Honestly, its my character so I'll decide the backstory and such as I see fit. No offense.

@Dawn Glow Your character is so cute! Nice to meet you!

@ExplosionMare The ponies who had their cutie marks changed were escorted out by the guards who were watching over them. Within a few seconds, they had all cleared out of the area. Probably giving Nightmare Moon and the remaining ones some well needed space. Twilight would nod. "I'll do my best, if I manage to find anything I'll let you know." Twilight spoke to Nightmare Moon. The guards and Twilight would then enter the forbidden section again. Twilight took the time to search through books. She was intensely curious about this section. While she had been here before this was different. Nightmare Moon wasn't watching over her this time. She sat down, getting in her very curious book research mode pretty much. With her magic she would levitate various books and read them. There were some dark magic spells, necromancy, and forbidden black arts among various other things. Twilight took a little longer to look over those just for the sake of curiosity. But she would locate more books about the bat ponies. She would look at other books, comparing information. It seemed that the spell was possible to do on one pony but it required a degree of dark magic, since dark magic corrupts and alters forms. It would not corrupt the pony though, just change their form. Still though, this spell was a great deal more costly than the cutie mark changing spell considering the complexity.

@Windy Breeze @Blitz Boom @Kujamih "Fine. I GUESS I will respect mr dimension police over here..." she nudged Light and rolled her eyes. "You know what, going against logic...that sound exactly like it. I had this urge and fascination with crime, I just went with it against all odds. It is really interesting if you think about. What you are saying about a symbiotic life form and infections...its all adding up quite well actually." Cali said in a rather shocked manner. "Well we definitely do have issues with it. We do it on purpose because it makes money, at least for those who do it that manner. What you speak of is a fairy tale as I told you, there is no magic in my world. Don't you mean manhattan? It sounds like this world uses similar naming schemes as it does to mine. That is pretty strange considering how wildly different mine is. Again, I've seen stranger. I would like to burn things though. I love fire. I love causing fire too!" Cali smiled as her mane turned to fire for a split second and went back to normal. Cali laughed at Blitz's comment. "You don't want to go there, for sure. It is like being inside of Satan's butt. Oh, sorry for saying that, but thats what it is. A pit. A hell hole. Its a scum of the earth, I could say so many nasty things about it and we would be here all day."

@Illiad Easle As they left, the influence seemed to diminish. "That is pretty fascinating. I won't bore you with the history of my world, thats a story for another time. Old Lands? Sort of like the Old and New World then? Would that mean they have sailed over an ocean? Sounds similar to what happened in my world." Cali replied. They would reach the entrance. All of a sudden there was a loud screeching sound as multiple hands of a black swirling mass would flow through the halls. It sounded quite demonic. Cali and Disciple were lucky enough to avoid it. As soon as they exit the temple, whatever that was seemed to vanish back into whatever it came.

@Blitz Boom Magnolia had not really considered Dolt to be a friend since she had just met him. But Gretha could be considered one. She was quite wise and would outlive any pony to walk the face of the planet. She thought deeply about this. The thought of being friends with someone who would certainly outlive her was nothing short of surreal. It was utterly fascinating, but that fascination was still drowned about Magnolia's sorrow. She smiled and tilted her head at Zeehva's words. "The way you speak, you seem so sure of your words. That comforts me greatly. Its as if you are the one who was meant to be my parent...in a way, if you understand what I mean. You are um, always there for me and you know so much. I only benefit from your presence. Again, I cannot explain how grateful I am to you for opening my eyes." Magnolia was rather happy with her success so far. It felt good, but she would take it one step at a time. "Whatever the case may be, I don't really...care. While I would have before, I find myself not caring about that anymore. It is strange...priorities change." Magnolia would reply. Truthfully, she didn't. Magnolia stopped and thought. She seemed to enjoy the poke and lean into it slightly. It was calming to her, especially when considering the sore topic of their conversation. What Zeehva had said was logical. Zeehva was always there to brighten the day for Magnolia, and that is something Magnolia never ever wanted to lose. "I am your first friend here, wow. That is surprising but I am honoured. As for my parents...I think that course of action you say is best. But I would love to meet my siblings again if I am honest but again, one step at a time. Lets find an inn, and go to sleep. We can awaken tomorrow with a fresh memory. How does that sound? I am feeling quite better, thank you so much." Magnolia yawned slightly. It had been a long day, after all.

@Catpone Cerberus "Thank you for your reassuring words. I sincerly hope that is the case. I'll believe in what you say. I am just glad that you ponies do not have the kinds of people I do where I am from. At least, they are in a far fewer occurrence. I hope." Sparkly would nod. Sparkly didn't do anything about her hoof and just seemed content to lay there. She closed her eyes for a longer period than normal and then opened them again. As if she was trying to wake up from a dream. No such thing occurred. As for Frail Spark's question, it made Sparkly think. Before long, she came to an answer. "I never would admit this to anyone normally, but I am too easily attached to those I meet sometimes. I like cuddling, and I like hugs. You ponies look so soft, fluffy. Like a pillow. I don't want to weird you out or anything, but another thing you should know is that I sometimes struggle with self hatred and loathing." Sparkly admits in an honest tone. "Some would find my thoughts obscene, offensive, and disgusting. I can tell your kind...at least you are, you probably wouldn't be able to handle them. It's bad things. But enough about bad things, I want good things. For both of us." Sparkly smiled.

@Loud Opinion Not sure if I told you this already but I have re-worked a new backstory for Magnolia. Basically goes something like this. I wonder if this would be okay with you, if backstories will effect how the future goes.

@Loud Opinion @ExplosionMare@abrony-mouse Magnolia silently followed after the trail of pedals. She would not want to eat a pedal from a flower anyways, the thought was quite strange. It made her imagine that someone he knew once could have aten a pedal from a flower and gotten sick. Magnolia would not risk such a thing. Without word she would acknowledge what Silver Tongue spoke of the books. It felt like Silver Tongue was testing and prodding at her and Starlight here. Magnolia assumed he had done this on purpose to see what they would do within their rooms. Magnolia would stop at the door and look to Starlight and Silver Tongue. Her cold eyes would look to Starlight first, and like a slow moving clock they moved to look Silver Tongue in the eye. "That of which you have not spoke of, I already know." she said, believing well enough this was some sort of set up to see how they would act. With that said, she opened the door and headed in. Finally she could be alone in her thoughts like she always used to. She would sit on the bed and lament the thoughts of the day. It was definitely something that she never experienced before. Meeting a strange cultist mare, fighting mysterious beasts in a dark wood, and saving the lives of two others. She lay on the bed. She could never sleep from the never-ending nightmares she had. Remembering the books, she'd grab onto the books with her magic. The real ones, at least according to Silver Tongue's description. She layed on her back, crossing her legs as she brought the first book from the left above her head. Then with satisfying book opening sound, she opened the book and began to read.

@abrony-mouse I giggle at Muon's reactions and gave her a cute little pat on the head. "Feel free to do so, Muon. You can stay in here all you want and I won't force you on anything." I said to her kindly and said a caring goodbye to her, amazed at how beautiful that pony was "I'm not special, Fuchsia. You are the special one." I said tapping a fingertip on where her heart would be. I follow her into town and look around. I admire all the colorful ponies but I wouldn't go up to ponies randomly and possibly freak them out.

@Catpone Cerberus "Well I wouldn't mind trying any food you have. As far as I can tell everything is...normal about me at least as normal as can be, really. I am not sure if its a good idea for me to meet other ponies you know? What if they want to experiment or cut me apart for science? Or do bad things to me? I'd hope not." Sparkly would shudder at that and watched where Frail Spark was. "Optional taxes? I like the sound of that, it sounds so simple and good." she smiled and relaxed on the couch. Sparkly was quite an attractive mare, being a princess after all technically. "I am glad that you are accepting of me. If you want to ask me any questions you can ask me anything you wish. I am all ears, no limits. I want us to get to know each other. And be friends?" Sparkly said, reaching out a hoof to Frail Spark with a humble motion.
