"Why, certainly. We have quite the selection of graphic novels, and they're quite popular. As for medical books, I think we have a whole section based on said subject." Harold said, still chipper as ever, even grinning now. Cynthia assumed that he was just happy to have our very first customers. Stopping her mind from reminiscing about her and Harold just opening this library. she focused on her thoughts about Omen.

 

Omen... Cynthia thought. Does she not know how to read? Oh jeez. Should I suggest the filly's books? Or will that be an insult to her? She decided to take a shot in the dark.

 

"If you're just starting to read, we also have a collection of filly's books that are actually quite interesting. Even read some myself." Cynthia lied. She was really nervous about hurting this mare's feelings.

The spider hit the Boulder in the air, breaking one of its fangs, and covering it with venom. The Boulder turned into a giant marshmallow before the spider pushed it away in the air toward where Priestess was hiding, and the spider landed right on the illusion, trying to bite into the nothing that was the new spider.

 

Seamore continued to cut the tree. He could taste strawberries so he started to sing to it:

 

"Welcome to the Everfree

Where the clouds move on their own,

And the animals care for themselves

So you had best leave them alone.

They'll hunt you down and eat you

'Cause to them you are but prey.

Oh, did I say you're welcome here?

'Cause I really meant stay away.

 

Stay away from the cragadiles.

Timberwolves chase as you run for miles.

Now you're full of fear and you want to leave,

But you'll never be free from the Everfree.

 

You are never free

From the Everfree

It'll haunt you as you dream

All the things you see

In the Everfree

Are never quite as they seem."

 

After that the tree was almost cut through. "This tree's ready to fall. If you can get the spider over here I'll try to drop the tree on it!" Seamore yelled.

Upon hearing another pony's declaration, Renius grinned before crouching down and taking out a rather large, thick pair of bolas. He reversed his circling, standing before the the spider at roughly the spot where the tree would crush the spider- after locating what appeared to be an exceptionally angry jackalope. Reminding himself to not touch the poison, he took the marshmallow and slammed it against the ground with a giant pomf before throwing it aside and roaring a challenge; creating as much as a vibration as possible to draw the spider's attention, seeing how most spiders were deaf for the most part.
 
From there, if he drew the spider's attention into leaping or charging into him, he would use his bolas to trip the spider and delay it long enough for the tree to fall onto it, before leaping backwards himself to avoid getting hit by either the spider or the tree. Of course, unless he missed the bolas or was pinned down by the spider, but at that point, chances were that between his reflexes and practice and the enraged spider, things would work out just to plan...
 
((For those who do not know, these are bolas. They are thrown at the feet and, if thrown properly, will cause them to trip.))

Priestess saw the giant marshmallow coming her way. "Fashionista inbound!" But it was a fricking marshmallow. So why would she be worried to begin with? That was until something happened that did worry her, and that was the eye patched pony knocking the chaotic confectionery out of the way. Then issuing that loud, resonating challenge, loud enough to make Priestess briefly think she was back at sound check for a Neighpalm Death concert. But back to the point, eye patch pony was now in the vicinity of her trap, and was about to undo the whole operation. 

 

"Okay, now I have to enact the plan, and save this Mark Greenhay ripoff!" She jumped from the tree and started running down it's trunk. "And we. Are. Live!"  She deactivated her illusion. In an orange flash, the 2nd spider was gone. She refocused that magic into her next gift: "Shikō no sokudo" (Speed of thought). At that moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl for Priestess.  "First things first. You. Yes you. Wrong place. Wrong time. GTFO." She then bolted halfway off the tree towards the arachnids challenger, soaring towards him like a missile. "Hope pony tails are tougher than they look!" She thought as she opened her maw right as she dove behind the new pony, and clamped her jaws on the base of his tail.

 

She hung on, and let the momentum swing her body around, like a jack russell biting on a rope. Except the momentum of the "jack russel terrier" in question was strong enough to start dragging both fox and horse by the tail. The momentum carried them both a good 5 feet, before Priestess felt that her body had rotated enough.  The moment she felt her hind paws connect with the ground, Priestess transferred the momentum, and used the pivoting force of her body to now swing her charge by the tail another five feet ahead. When the patch pony was now traveling forward and  a bit to the side, she let go. He would now be flying a ways into the trees, and be motion sick as all tarturus. But hey, better that than being trapped with a bleeding, reality altering, abomination of nature. 

 

​But now she was free from having her plan go awry. No more anomalies in the plan. Just executions. The cart was now dead in her sights, and she continued running towards it at a speed that would stupefy a wonderbolt.  10 feet away, she cut the magic to her gift, and let her momentum carry her towards the cart. She jumped and dove for the wagon. "No other way to go about this but to-"

 

*CRASH!* Priestess slammed herself shoulder first, tackling the cart with full force. Both she and the lumber cart began to blaze backwards. The sounds of rope cutting through the ground, tearing though the wind, and grinding into bark, filled the air for a brief moment... before it was filled with rustling leaves, shedding of dirt and snapping of twigs. And all around the arcane arachnid, still striking the air where it's doppelganger just previously existed, strands seemed to snap up from the ground. A tangled mesh of rope rose from the ground all around the spider, enclosing in like a title wave from all sides. The very ground beneath the spider seemed to rise up, and hoist the spider up into the air like a claw. The shocked and wailing beast rapidly ascended to the tree tops. 

 

Seemingly as soon as Priestess shoulder tackled the cart, she jumped off. When she was completely off, she sunk her fangs into the edge of the cart wall and dug her paws into the ground to slow the cart. Too much momentum and the cart would pull the spider all the way off the tree and down to the ground, where it would have a better chance of escaping her net. She could feel the cart slow immensely, but she didn't hold on the whole time. She chose that time to let go. The cart traveled another 10 feet before stopping. Priestess and the cart were now 30 feet back down the path. A thick strand of tan colored cloth shot up from under the carriage and made a 25 degree incline up towards where the spider was now dangling. 

 

Then she braced herself for the inevitable. She turned to the side, hunched low, widened her stance, and dug her paws into the ground, awaiting gravity's return and for the cart to-

 

*CRACK!* be pulled back by the spiders weight, and nearly run over the diviner who drove it. Priestess was pushed forward a few feet before her paws her entrenched in enough dirt to keep her stationary, bracing the edge of her cart with her shoulder. She wasn't sure if the crack she heard earlier was from the wooden cart, or that.

 

That net, was made of natural spider silk, stronger than steel. But what made it effective, were the bits of ground up black crystal dust mixed in. Any and all magic outside of dark magic would be negated. 

 

The entire thing transpired in about 10 seconds flat.

 

"I hate spiders." Breathed out the Red maned fox as big as Celestia, before she and the cart lurched forward an inch or two.

The spider squirmed for a moment int the net, the sharp edges cutting through the net. A hole formed in the side of the net, the spider tumbled out and hit the ground hard, tumbling in the direction of the tree Seamore was cutting down. While the creature stuggled tiger back up, Seamore quickly kicked the tree with both hind legs, bringing it down on the spider, and trapping it for good this time, it's broken fang still leaking venom, two legs missing, one limp, one eye gouged out, and a small pool of blood slowly growing underneath it. As the tree fell a beautiful sparkling light blue whisp could be seen floating out of the tree trunk, which then disappeared. The spider was struggling to get up with the tree on top of it. It looked like it was almost able to, but then...

Finally it started to look like this plant pony was stopping his spawning of random things. He had stopped being thrown in random direction, and the seeping now was getting to a point where it was barelly dripping anymore.

 

Vivid looked at the three constructions that was left now, not seeing anything more than rainbow mushrooms and such spawn behind them now.One was barel clinging on, having gotten a good hit before, whilst the other two, one rock and one plant, was about to dive towards her. She wasn't having that.

 

Using the big hands floating in front of her, she grabbed one in each, swung them outwards and then smashed them together. It made a noticeable sound, much like the now fallen tree and the screeching spider trapped by it, but it worked. The two were basically crushed into pieces and nothing had gone wrong.

 

That is if you ignored that swinging them outwards had hit the Jackalope that she hadn't seen, sending it flying head-first towards the spider and boring into on of its eyes with her horns all the way to the base of her skull and making the transformed Last Stand give out a squeal.

 

It wasn't certain how deep it had reached, so you never knew if it had been far enough to impale parts of the spiders brain, but it had at the very least made sure that it had lost an eye, and made Last hate her new form even more than she did before.

With the horn of a jackelope now imbedded in its brain the spider collapsed under the weight of the tree. It squirmed for a moment, twitched a couple of times, then stopped. The creature was now dead, all that was left was to remove its diamonds, harvest its webbing, and finish cutting down the Everwood trees.

 

"I'll move this tree into the cart. Syo, can you get started on finding another tree? Have somepony else take over on that one." Seamore could see that Syo wasn't able to get as much done with her short front legs. She was good at picking out the right trees though, something that could have taken a great deal longer if not for her.

Renius growled as he stood up from being suddenly and randomly spun around several times extremely quickly without warning and flung out of the way by some mysterious force that he couldn't see, resulting in his less-than-polite collision with a nearby tree and a massive headache, as well as a bit of a queasy stomach. Cursing, he sheathing his knife and picking up the pool noodle with a scowl and shoving it into his pack. Maybe it would change back- seeing how the pony stopped sweating venom, it seemed to be temporary- but if it didn't, he was going to have to invest in a new one. "Bah... magic," he growled to himself as he examined the area. There was a jackalope that seemed to be having it's horns cut out of the creature's brain, and a large red fox that was stating her dislike for spiders. It seemed that at least half the group had been hit by the venom. Trapped in his own foul mood at the moment at being completely thrown aside from a kill he wasn't even going to take, without another word, he turned and began to stalk off towards the bushes from where he came out from, irritated that he would be going back to Ponyville empty-handed- besides, if they wouldn't even let a fellow hunter, one that bore the scars of experience, assist them, why would they even let him have anything of the creature to at least have some proof he spotted something? Not that he ever fibbed, but his audiences and buyers preferred him to bring props to prove the point on an almost daily basis.

 

But then he paused as he saw the tree that fell on the monster. It was unlike any other tree he had ever seen before- it was an aquamarine blue with a child's pastel set of a variety of leaf colors. He approached it and looked at it for a moment, before speaking, trying to (unsuccessfully) mask the irritation of his voice as he growled out, "Do you want any help moving this tree?" As an afterthought- maybe these stuck-up hunters were nobles from Canterlot- he added a rather curt, "Sir?" shortly afterwards.

Turned into a Jackalope, hurled like a stone kicked on the road, covered in spider eye-goo and things she'd rather not twant to think about and now somepony was trying to cut around her with a sword that might free her or end up cutting her. She had no idea who the pony was either, as the goo from the spider had seeped over her head quickly and now blocked her ability to see.

 

This day couldn't get much worse right now.

 

Eventually Crescent would hit so that the eye she had been stuck to became mashed enough so that shec ould pop her head away and be free of the spider. That, and free to hurdle backwards towards the ground which was admittedly a bit of way way.

 

"Gotcha."

 

Blitz had wandered somewhat wuiet out of the bush when the spider stopped moving after the poor, horned bunny had been thrown into its head. It had looked safe enough now to come out and look around to see if she could gather a good chunk of the fallen leaves she was after, but when the bunny had hurled towards the ground, even if it wasn't That far, she had thrown herself towards the area and slid over the ground, hooves first, just in time to catch the gooey little creature.

 

It was at that point Last found out that yes, things could get worse. Not to be saved like that from some bruises, no, but to then be pulled in to a big hug by the crazy-looking filly whilst she tried desperately to get away. She really disliked being treated like some kind of adorable pet, even if she did look like one.

 

Over at Briar, the plant pony had stopped excreting what substance had flown through his pores and now laid still on the ground, groaning a little under his breath but otherwise not moving. It was a sign of life though, so it made Vivid just move past him when she was done dismissing the hands and she could wander slowly over towards the tree, trying to soak in the oddities that had started since last she had the chance to look around.

 

One spider was dead, crushed under a tree amongst other things, and the other had turned out to be a mirage of some kind.

A filly had shown up for some reason and was hugging what looked like a bunny with horns that she hadn't seen before.

There was now a pretty large fox-like creature standing over near the cart talking to itself.

And then there was somepony else that she hadn't seen either, though looked like the sort that had seen some battles in his days.

 

Headed towards the fourth of the noted scenarios she hoped that neither the fox not the battle-ready newcomer was going to become a threat towards them. She was more or less drained of the majority of her magical strength right now and felt like just vanishing into the void for a few hours and sleep within the smouldering depths, so she really wasn't up for more hostilities at this point in time.

 

The pony was likely somepony that had attacked the spider though, and as it seemed now that it was dead with several cuts going over its being, she would assume that he had been part of making nature a good deal less savage around here and that the odds that he'd just done it so that he could have a go at them alone was minimal.

 

"Seems like you came around at an opportune time. I can't seem to recall seeing your strikes, but I take it you were the reason it suddenly rose up andlost an eye and a leg, yes? The other wounds at least have been consistently accounted for, and you don't strike me as somepony that have a habit of running away from a confrontation."

 

Vivid had waited until the unknown pony was done speaking his mind towards Seamore, not wanting to interrupt things too much, then right after started to shake her shoulders some to get the big *fur* collar around her neck settled in better. Whilst she could overall bear the cold that these ponies considered Summer, she still needed to be covered to not get a cold or something alike, especially around her neck, and she had felt a small bite of the air around them hit her when she had started to talk.

Syo had dropped the saw she was going to use and collapsed down to her butt on the ground out of the dizziness she felt from creating a huge portal. Her mind and thoughts were scrambled and it will take her some time to get back into focus. She looked on the fight from where she was and saw it all go down with a huge thump of the first tree.

 

That's great, they did it... I best get back to cutting.... What am I supposed to do when I feel what again?

 

Syo then looked up at the tree she leaned against, it was a lot bigger than she was.

 

Maybe I should ask someone else to cut it...

 

 

 

"I'll move this tree into the cart. Syo, can you get started on finding another tree? Have somepony else take over on that one."

 

 

Syo's ears perked up as she heard Seamore and got back up slowly.

 

That's right, I can't just lay on my lazy bottom while the others were trying hard. I got to... focus.

 

"Okay, one more tree coming up!" Syo called and then she took a refresher from the tree she was leaning on before blinking around to find another tree, completely forgetting to tell whoever is taking over what Seamore told her. Within a few more minutes, Syo spotted two trees that match and she went to check on one of them and it sounded similar too. "Found one here!"

 

Okay, that's two, now to just open the port... NYA!

 

As Syo backed up, she slipped on something and before she could recover by teleporting, something was jamming her magic. She landed on her back into the leftover venom from the battle, coating herself in it.

 

Ew... this is like tar....

 

Syo got back up but then she saw something dropping off from her fur... it was her fur falling off. Syo saw it and was paralysed in shock and she let out a big scream. Abandoning her intent to open a portal for Seamore, she ran and hid behind the same tree she called out on.

'Everyone who helped gets an equal share.'... Well, that means either a noble on vacation or one of those odd spirit-guides. But still, perhaps it would be best to cooperate for now. I could use the extra paycheck.

 

Renius smirked as the pony began to levitate upwards after stepping in the venom that was leaking from the spider's mouth. "Well, then... You shall have to wait right there for a moment, sir. And I'll get to cutting that tree that your assistant pointed out afterwards." Chuckling to himself, he started searching for small, dense rocks that he could tie to the floating pony's legs to keep him both on the ground and able to move.

 

After about the second or third one that he found, he noticed another pony approach him who seemed to be bone tired- and also dressed in winter clothes in the middle of summer. Not questioning her outfit, she asked if he was the one who took out the beast's eye and leg. After hearing her comment, he nodded, choosing a fourth rock from nearby. "Yes, lass, that was me. It's been the first monster I've seen in a week; odd for the Everfree. Would that I would have been able to do more." He raised a hoof but, realizing he still had his claws out, tapped the gauntlet lightly against the tree, unlocking the device and causing the claws to slide back into the bracer-mounted sheath. "Renius, Everfree trophy hunter and guide. And might I ask your name, miss?"

She looked over to where Briar was. He was still on his side, groaning in pain, parts of his body melted away. She dropped her rope and started walking over to where he was. The damage looked worse the closer she got. She could sense the chaos vibe coming from within him.

She instead collided with the edge of the cart, rolled onto the bed before flipping over the front and landing on the ground with a thud. 

 

After the death of the spider:

 

"Uugghh..." Priestess stumbled back to her paws. "Okay, what the buck just happened?" She looked out to the battlefield and saw the Spider, crushed beneath a tree, with some squirming object wiggling in one of it's eyes.  "How the buck did it get out?" She followed the cloth rope down the path. That looked intact. Then she eyed the net. The one with the big gaping hole in it. "Oh you've got to be bucking kidding me. That net was enchanted to trap a draqoniquis!  And a freaking diamond spider managed to escape from it!? Oh, I will so be getting a refund!"  

 

Priestess shoved the cart away from her so she could have room to walk out. She grabbed her rope in her teeth and started walking back towards group, grumbling through a mouth full of cloth. She surveyed the aftermath. "Lumberjack is moonbound. Swowrdsmare is gone. Smokey is talking to the eye patch guy who almost shared breathing room with a diamond spider, not that it mattered much.  Batpony is... over there. There's a new pony, where the hay did she come from(?), holding a horned rabbit... one that smells like swordsmare.  I've seen stranger. The cat is... over there. Plant horse is..."

 

She looked over to where Briar was. He was still on his side, groaning in pain, parts of his body melted away. She dropped her rope and started walking over to where he was. The damage looked worse the closer she got. She could sense the chaos vibe coming from within him. 

 

"Dude. You look like s##t." 

When he glanced at the mare he shrugged still helping Seamore, until he herd her blood beat.....Cresent looked around for a whight to use for the earth pony. he decided to use and log guiding him towards it. "try this out. excuse me for a second" he said. Then turning towards priestess he talked her blade towards her neck fangs showing and glaring at her "it WAS you I herd before! now talk before I make good on my promise" he didn't realize his voice droped an octive from his usual pitch

"L-Leave her... Alone."

 

Briar breathed the words out heavily when he heard both the voice of Priestess and then of the bat pony Crescent, who was not sounding too happy. It had sounded as if some hostility was there as well, which was why he had thought it best to say like he did, even though he felt rather horribly.

 

He was covered in patches of the yellow/orange goo that had started to hammer around him when the poison had did it's job and he was partly slammed into the ground, which gave the impression that some of him might have been ripped or even melted off, though he could feel that what used to be there still were. That included the vines that now slid from his back, one of them through a patch of leftover goo, and hit down into the ground as a sort of lift whilst he tried to rise up.

 

"S-She's not an enemy... Whoa!"

 

He didn't get far up before stumbling awkwardly down again like he was Bambi on ice, though this just made him let out a small, half-pained chuckle.

 

"Heh, if I look how I feel... Well, like you said."

 

Over at Seamore, Vivid looked up at the floating pony with a sort of amused look in her tired eyes as the other pony, that had identified himself as Renius, was starting to gather some stones up that he could weigh their air-headed employer down with.

 

"Vivid Loss, Miscellaneous worker to a couple in Canterlot, with my own profession being that of a soul collector. To save you some time, these other ones are Seamore, Crescent, Briar, Syo, the Jackalope is Last and the last two..."

 

Vivid pointed around in the direction of the other ones as she said the names. Or well, tried to, as it seemed like Syo wasn't where she had been just a little before. Perhaps she had run behind the tree or something? Might be something worth checking up on soon.

 

Her hoof ended on pointing towards the two she weren't aware of. The large fox creature that seemed to be on Crescent's bad side and Briar's good one, and the filly that had now let go of the Jackalope that was now bouncing awkwardly over towards the katana on the ground again whilst the filly started to gather some of the many-coloured leaves on the ground.

 

"Well, I can't say I have seen them before, and the fox itself is something that I think i would have remembered."

 

In the meantime, Vivid had apparently been wrong about Last as the bunny-fied pony bounced onwards towards the tree where Syo was behind. It wasn't entirely sure if it was to check up on the cat or if Last had another agenda, but the chances were good that it was to give a check up on the scream that had pounded through her ears, as well as getting far away from the filly. She had enough of being a hug-toy.

"Okay."

 

The two ponies answered in tandem, even though Ziggy was sounding a great deal more exited as she wandered over to the stallion that had offered to guide her towards the medical books. Omen did much the same, but she wandered towards Cynthia, both her and the pink half-Zebra wondering what books these librarians would have in mind.

Outside, just about to knock on the door and finding out what the noise was about, a robust bat pony jumped to the side and looked questioningly at the odd, moving box in front of him.

 

 

After being done locking the vendor from before up in a little makeshift prison he made basically out of a large crate where he now lived, Stargazer had wandered out to enjoy what was left of the night whilst the vendor complained or wanted to be let go, depending on the mood he swung in. Both were dull and boring to listen to frankly, so the less he had to hear either, and especially on his first day here, the better.

 

So he had taken a round through the mostly quiet town before his sensitive ears had picked up on a strange noise from inside a building. It had sounded a bit like muffled cursing and some things being thrown, though what he wasn't sure about, so he had gone closer and prepared to knock, wanting to make sure that this wasn't some sort of domestic argument about to go sour, when all of a sudden a pony came out in a... He had no idea what this was. An odd cart? part of a train wagon? An oversized mousetrap of some kind? Perhaps it was better if he tried to find out.

 

Looking at the pony behind the uhm... Wheel or what it was, he raised a hoof in a combined greeting and trying to see if she would be willing to stop up, or if he had to follow and see what the matter was with this.

 

He still didn't have his Nightguard armor on, but the helmet still set on his head and his belt with the medals he had earned through the years were firmly in place too, so the pony in the moving box might be able to tell that he was of said guards, though nothing was certain. It was still dark too after all, so might be she wouldn't see much and he had to move soon to not be hit again.

Seamore clung to the tree like his life depended on it. His face was a lovely shade of green, his mouth closed tight for fear that he would soon be sick. He was way too focused on staying still to be able to pay much attention to what was going on around him, and turning his head would just make his motion sickness worse. "Thanks," he said to Crescent, not really able to say much else.

She turns the lights on as she exits, just in time to see the bat-pony wave at her to stop. She presses a hoof on a pedal next to the one that makes her contraption move, causing it to stop next to the said bat-pony. Wildfire then presses a button on a console next to her and the side door opens. She opens the small door of the driver's conpartment and steps out through the main doors. "What is it?" She asks the bat-pony.

Soul... collector? How does that make sense? Is she some sort of manifestation of... something? He absentmindedly rubbed his silver charm, trying to ward himself against whatever trickery this... witch might have with his soul. Outwardly, however, Renius tried to play it cool, smiling slightly. "Well, greetings, Vivid Loss. Just don't go collecting my soul, and we should get along fine."

 

With that, he drew his knife and, gouging it into the bark, used it to climb up the tree, grabbing on to Seamore's leg and pulling him down much easier than he thought he would need to, almost as if he was a balloon. With that, he withdrew a length of rope and, after some chopping, quickly tied the rocks he found to his hooves. With that out of the way, he replaced the remains of the rope in his back and, taking out his wood hatchet, proceeded to approach the tree that the pony that was identified as Syo was behind. It the trunk was more of a greenish blue then the others, but it was still clearly the same species with the same technicolor. As he approached, he noticed the jackalope approaching as well, and paused for a moment before continuing, lining himself up with the hatchet and preparing to swing where he would be able to chop down the tree without tiring himself overly much.
