  1. Woody gives a nod of acknowledgement. "I know it will be but we need to get on this now, or else we could lose more people... And lose people is something we should avoid at all costs, they have people who want them to come home so let's get them home." When the messenger was sent Woody kept a sharp eye on him making sure that they at least left his own vision... it was dangerous carrying a message like that. "Well to overcome that problem with your power, I can talk to them to make sure they are calmed down. I do have quite a nice voice, I've heard." He says chuckling softly "I've... also heard I tend to take things really seriously... and well I'm working on it at least..."
  2. Woody opens his mouth to start explaining his plan but stops hearing his second part "Because, It's the right thing for me to do. I know that with those on the inside out mission will be all but impossible as the enemy will be 2 steps ahead... Besides if we fail... my mother..." He shakes his head angrily "First we need to interview every, single member of the team that got attacked they could be among that group. We need to space everything out otherwise the ones behind this will get suspicious so we need to approach in a more casual way, and look for evasiveness. Can you handle that?" Woody tells him glaring around. Wind nods "Morality is always decided by the victors... And I will be sure that we win... It won't hurt if you try that magic of yours, Just point my in the right direction brother and I'll handle the rest. You are my eyes and I am your blade." He lowers his hat to cover his gaze
  3. Woody nodded noting mentally to ask about his life later. "Well... Alright I'll go to him." Woody, now knowing he can use magic teleports to Alexander. "Excuse me, Hiya I need to talk with you about something pretty important if I can borrow a moment of your time, It's about what to do about this traitor of yours, I'm sure you'll find my plan effective." "That sounds good to me, Plus the guilty walk heavier than the innocent because of the weight of what they've done is on them..." He says poetically "I don't know if that will help in this case... But I suppose it's something to feel for right?" He chuckles happily, despite what's going on he's being rather optimistic, He didn't know why... but having a brother around... it just made him feel he wasn't misunderstood by everyone anymore.
  4. "Oh! Well, that means we're not enemies since you're not looking to harm nature." He smiles acting nonchalant "As someone who loves studying interesting creatures with interesting features like yourself." He examines the pony from where he was standing, looking for stuff like claws. "So do you mind if I just ask about how you did that, or what you really mean when you say "Extra skills"? It's just research and I'll keep it a secret that, I promise." He crosses his heart when he says that.
  5. "You're not a hunter are you?" He asks bluntly and getting to the point "I've been in this forest countless times and seen dozens scale cliffs. There's no way a pony could've scaled a cliff like you did before at least... not that fast." He points at him accusingly knowing that there's a fact he's missing... something he miscalculated for or a small detail he didn't see... but he was determined to find whatever it was he missed about this pony, whether he like it or not
  6. Woody stepped up as if he knew how to deal with this. "I need the names and looks of each individual that went out on that patrol, especially those who returned as they could easily be the murderous ones. If they refuse to help you find out it's malicious..." He considers "True it could be anyone, That's why we should walk with you in front... Windphaser bringing up the rear and I could be middle or something... we need people we can trust to be able to lead and see everyone in this group, No Allowing Civilians to break off from the group either, We're on lockdown" Wind was kinda amazed at the display of battle strategy... he smiles looking at Trisha "Well... You heard the man. Let's get to it right? C'mon brother, Maybe your magic can help find the culprit if they're back here."
  7. Woody listened attentively and scoffed, in more of a joking way, he was happy he could fix it "I dunno... I did just come to terms with it" He smiles looking this stranger over waving his paw dismissively "Ok... but on a more real note... as nice as not being half blind would be... I don't know if I can trust you, No offense but we did just meet... and my experiences with strangers recently has been very... Well, It hasn't been great, I'd rather get to know you a little better first... build some trust and stuff. Plus, I feel bad you just offering... I'll earn it somehow. I need to." Wind looked at Woody, confused and baffled "What? You don't trust my brother? He has evidence that he is to the point I bel-" Woody then interrupted him "It's more of, I feel he should know me and I should know him... It's not as much a trust thing. Does that make any sense to you, Morikai?"
  8. Windphaser nod and was about to go over to the distant draconequus but he manages to get over to them before Wind managed to gather up the willpower to walk away from his brother. "Hello, Woodland. I see you managed t-" He was interrupted by Woody "I don't want to hear that, If you think I'm just letting this scar stop me from helping... well, I'll tell you had I been any more helpful... My sister would still be a pony... not a machine..." He stops his dragon claw "So Trust me, I'm going to do my best to be as helpful as I can be... Magic or no Magic." "Well... Good news to you is... We are able to use magic safely" Woody seems delighted by these words "Oh, awesome! I wasn't sure and I wasn't risking anything... But regardless I've been coming to terms with the blind eye... I'm not as clumsy anymore when I'm really trying." Woody looks at both Terisha and Morikai "Hello you both... It seems Wind here hangs out with you both... Who might you both be?"
  9. He listened closely "Morikai... Alright, I'll try not to piss him off... But If he gets between us, death or not I'm not losing you." He gave a sidelong, hope-filled glance to Therisa "We do have the principle of... "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" Perhaps this could be an advantage we need to win this war?" He makes sure his gear is... as it was before looking out and seeing a familiar shape "But... I thought he gave up... There's no way he's coming back for more after what he witnessed..."
  10. "If they try to get him they'll have to go through the best of us... I wouldn't worry, Despite what they can do I've been developing countermeasures with my own magic. They're nearly set up... but I lack the ability to test to be sure the fine tuning on the wards is correct... My point is, We really can't just keep running, I know they're strong and feared but I'm really trying to change that. I'll get there someday and I swear to whatever god may be real that I will make sure you are never taken away from me, brother." His eyes beam with his steely resolve as he speaks each word he believes. He wants to convince himself that this is something he can do.
  11. "She's... not with us right now... she didn't march out... I think... I don't remember... Mom's just been through a lot so I don't know if confronting you will do any good... I certainly didn't help her..." Windphaser lifts his blade off the ground sheathing it "Honestly... Knowing you're here now... I couldn't be happier... you... have no idea brother how much this all means... It means I'll have a family without dad." HE gives a bright smile to Keidor "Cults... I only meet them when they fall to my own blade I never liked them nor trusted them."
  12. Woody followed slowly taking notes on things that seemed... off. He noted heavily the smooth climbing... something that would require a pony to either have equipment... or at least a cutie mark in climbing... He took that information in having paid attention to the stranger before Woody knew that he wasn't lost... as he had once claimed. He flinched "No way... how could he tell..." Woody appears above him "I must say... that's pretty impressive... How'd you know I was there?" He started with a simple question before asking about the... stranger things
  13. Windphaser let him show him... reluctantly and distrusting... but, after he and Keidor returned to their bodies... his blade fell to the sad, and he teared up while hugging his brother. "B-Brother... I... can't believe it.. finally... having someone who shares my pain... The pain of someone like him as a father..." He clung to Keidor for several moments, feeling... strangely complete. "I don't know why it took this long... but I'm glad to finally be with you..."
  14. Windphasers blade quickly found itself inches from Keidor's throat "As If I'm supposed to believe that. I don't remember you at all... All I remember from my time with father was being hurt... emotionally, physically and mentally. Perhaps we never truly met... but I just... can't believe I had a brother... I might've wanted to believe it in a different time... However, war is a nightmare and underhanded tactics are everywhere." He pressed the blade to his throat it barely digging, not drawing blood only parting the skin "So... Prove yourself."
  15. "A matter of time... right..." Maple took a deep breath to balance herself out "The good news at least is that I think we're safe now..." This was when the unicorn announced he was leaving "Good luck... And let's hope that you won't be needed to fight them again..." She turned to the others "We'll be getting there soon... Leave explaining to me you two just need to tend to her, and my mom will probably help too" She did seem to have that trait... the desire to do everything important herself... it was both good and bad for her.
  16. Windphaser took a few steps in a circle "Tch... Very clever of you..." The fire would have hit windphaser head on but he saw it coming due to the light, He managed to slice it with the magic blade negating the magic as a whole as he sheathed the blade back focusing... listening intesly for anything that didn't sound like the storm that surrounded him... Come out... come out. He thought to himself waiting... Ready to strike at any moment
  17. "If I was to simply attack I would get hit by the blasts you fired... I always use my horn to detect a foe's magic. Since I don't cast much magic." He said staring leaving the blade by his side "Clever plan of yours really but I'll end this before you have a chance to fight back." He leveled the glowing blade to point right at the strangers throat from a distance. He then moved like a blur and swung fast aimed at his throat but feigned the swing, at the last moment he moved the blade downward sharply slicing across his legs.
  18. "Well... I can't say they'll be true... I haven't heard my own rumors." Windphaser drew his weapon turning to face this person "Maybe you won't let me kill you... Not like I would, but a fight is still a fight. Consider that a warning." He levitated his blade as normal taking his fighting stance... giving the stranger a moment to prepare before he lowered the blade breaking into a sprint, running beside the stranger, his blade slicing several times in rapid succession as he passed him. After the pass, he turned rapidly to face the stranger not wanting him to do something so he can react.
  19. "Storm... you seem to know a bit more than you let on..." Wind opened his eyes, dropping the spell he had cast on the flames. "In cases like this, I'm not one to trust those who withhold too much from us... You seem... like an ally so I'll trust for now, however, don't expect everything from me... Star's doing fine thanks to the Equestrians that came to this planet with me. Why is it you're interested in me... is it the flame? That's a simple magic really..." In reality, it wasn't a easy magic to achieve... it could only be learned if you had the fury of flame and once you learned the spell it stuck with you... So this spell had a deep meaning to it.
  20. He couldn't be a rare beast hunter... If so he would've attacked me... perhaps its soemthing about this beast in particular? Well only one way to find out... keep following, no matter how awkward it feels. I'm invisible so I should be fine... Unless he's magic too... Nah, doesn't look it... He lowers to be between the treeline and ground as he flies after the pony If he is a hunter... I'll show him what happens when somepony harms nature.
  21. "I'm sorry... I do not. While there I was more focused on escaping him... and that's all I can think when I hear his voice." He steps toward Terisha "No one knows his trapping game better than me, however... All of it is designed to keep creatures in... not get new ones. As for actually beating him... well there are 2 outcomes. I win, or I die. And I suppose either way I get away from him... I have an odd feeling I won't be granted death yet. It's too easy off for somepony like me. Regardless of that matter... I'm sorry I cannot be of more help..." He lowered his head. his horn glowing as he made the flames of the campfire dance. It wasn't anything significant... he just felt the need to practice he spoke, without breaking focus "He will expect me to be weak... as I was as a child after I lose that advantage my father will have the upper hand... I hope you know I intend to not let the fight last that long."
  22. Windphaser was checking his already sharpened blade and sheathed it again... He did that a lot no one but him was really sure why. He moved the Kasa down taking it off as the army took its rest. "You have no idea... Getting to Equestria... I'd expected it to be a sanctuary for me... like mom told me it was." He stomped a hoof, his expression grim "But they found it first..." He shook his head slowly "So I went right back to learning to fight to defend myself and others... at least now I'm enough to take down one the smaller mechs with my blade... but those aren't nightmarish machines like the other group's fighting now..." He looked at the Kasa, given to him by who taught him the ways of the blade in Equestria, hoping he was ok... "Especially sucks when you've got no real friends left to protect."
  23. "Making things worse... if this is a smaller branch... that means that larger ones have more than just one bad book. Regardless, the fact they had it will make Luna and Celestia take this much more serious... I'm sorry you all had to get wrapped up in it... Especially you Speechless... None of you deserved it. Not even me but well I'm used to risking myself for these things..." She sighed as she pressed forth Finally pushing the group past the darkest part of the forest. They had time for probably had time for another conversation... if anypony started one
  24. "We... Know of another but it's only more of an enforcer. Her names Scarlet... we think... Not much has been seen of her as she's more of a sorta well they tell her somepony she should take care of and she gets them alone and takes care of them as far as we know. Other than that... We know nothing." Moonshadow said to him, shifting to his favored earth pony form with a determined smile "This group will be more than enough for Treasured and his crew. Especially with your help too!"
  25. "Oh well, you'll find them in hot places. Safe bet that most of them went home. To the dragon lands..." He looked around. "Maybe Moonshadow's hurt.. or- Oh, Wait there he is." Shining waves to him, Behind the Changeling captain there are 3 other changelings, a dragon, and a unicorn with him. He runs over, out of breath "Sorry... Was having trouble finding anyone who wanted to go." He straightened himself out "I called in a few favors from these 3 here and they helped with the dragon and unicorn. There are others but these few are higher on the chain of command so smaller leader types like lower than myself." He put her hoof against the back of his head "Sorry if it's less than you thought but with a few dragons Mercenaries with us, it'll help out." "Glad you got some ponies with you. Not a moment too soon eh, Well anyways... I've got chariots ready. Several for any situations, just tell them I sent you and they should ask what business you have, if they do tell them it's the Dragon's business. Got it?" He said lightly tapping Caerson on the back. Trying to help lessen his tension.
