"My name is Syo!"

 

"I'm sorry Syo. I didn't mean to upset you. I hitted my head quite a few times today. I must surely forget some part of the day. I'll note it in my notebook."

 

 

 

"For one, my name is Dyr and I do not need any healing as I have natural resistance to Chaos magic... and about my scythe..." She said as she twirled it around and slashed one of your legs. "I have dealt with chaos types like yourself... I recommend that you and I do not get too close to each other."

 

He fell on the ground as his leg was hit. Once on the ground, he looked in the sky and started laughing.

 

"He he he. You are a fun one. I'm not just a chaos entity yet. I have pony magic at my side too. And I studied some dark magic too! You know, from a book I "borrowed" from the library of the crystal empire. It's great to have a chaos resistant pony around! My spells can go out of controll sometimes. And you would be able to taste my sandwiches without becoming wonky and stuff! Great!"

 

He stopped laughing and the smile dissapeared from his face. He stared in the Dyr's eyes whith a cold, emotionless expression. The silence fell as if the forest went suddenly empty and the wind, gone.

 

"If you ever swing that toothpick at me again, I will have to confiscate it from you." Said Missklang in a calm cold voice.

 

The forest started to vibrate with life once again and the sound reapeared as if nothing happend. Missklang stood up with a wide smile and his usual happy and a bit naive expression on his face.

 

"A friend of my friend is my friend. I'm sure we will get along nicely. You are a very intriguing person you know? Syo too! If I annoy you just say a word and I'll stop. My friends must always feel comfortable. So, what are you doing here? Did you come on purpose? I hope the portal didn't  force you to come. We are anything but catnappers. If you don't want me to help you in future, it's fine by me. I'm not a skilled medic but I have some knowlege of healing poition brewing that Zecora taught me. If you ever change your decision, you are welcome."

Dyr smirked as she finally heared Missklang's cold side.

 

"At least you are not as hopeless as someone I know." Dyr said, with a sliver of respect. "Missklang, is it? I will be sure to remember you."

"I will keep that in mind. And the first thing that annoys me is a barrage of questions that takes too long to answer and not worth my time." Dyr said, still rather coldly. She swung her scythe and rested it on her shoulder as she walked down the road. Syo got out of the cart but then she stumbled. Dyr moved and caught her before she hit the ground. Without saying much else, she held out her paw and conjured a green orb that she gently placed into Syo.

 

"Dyr! I mean, thank you." Syo said as she stood up on her own feet, her energy seemingly came back to her.

 

"I will moving ahead first, or I will lose that demon's trail." Dyr said as she ran ahead and then disappeared in a cloud of red rose petals.

 

Syo was left standing in her dust. She then turned back to Missklang and the group.

 

"Yeah, sorry about her," Syo said while scratching the back of her head, she felt fur there. "Oh, she grew my fur back too."

"Hello! Good to see you again! Why sure! I would be glad to help anyone! What exacly is wrong? Tell me and I will take a look on what I can do to help. If it's for a hole in the body I have some regenerative potions, I have some anti poison too. I still sence chaos energy around. Have anyone been infected with chaos stuff? I can help that too."

"Well, not Exactly like it, there's a sort of sweet smell too, but beach smell? Totally. I mean, not at home, since we don't have a beach near Las Pegasus, but I've been other places before and the ocean smell sticks around. Especially if it's windy."

 

Ziggy flies back, pretending she's getting blows out of course since she finds it fun to put in visual aid to her ramblings at times. Omen on the other hoof, was more interested in something else than to speak about the beach right now. Mainly why the other pony started to act this way, and why her voice had gone... Hollow? She had been in a tunnel before where it sounded somewhat like that from other ponies, but this wasn't a tunnel, this was open land.

 

"Hollow voice... Is that normal?"

"Could you get the Chaos outta me too then?"

 

The Jackalope with the oversized ears had jumped down from the cart and wandered over to Missklang when the mention of getting chaos away again came up.

 

There were a lot of things that had happened within the last few minutes that she had focused on before this, and had kept quiet. The rift, the fact that something slipped out of there that wasn't encouraging, the cat with the scythe - nothing good ever came from beings that used scythes as a weapon - and then of course the return of Missklang himself, along with... Him.

 

She didn't know the Gryphon, but the race of him is what made her narrow her eyes slightly. Not that she hated Gryphons. No, she had several friends from back home that were Gryphons, and she would fight alongside one of them until the bitter end. The issue were that not all of them were like that, and the outsiders of the flocks tended to be mean, unpredictable sorts who would wait for the right time to strike.

 

it made it hard for her to trust this one just from the getgo, though she would wait and see what would turn out to be his story before judging too much and take a swing. Likely if he hadn't tried to drop one of them from the sky within an hour, there wasn't a problem.

 

Anyway, time would solve that, and since the scythe cat and whatever it was hunting were gone she couldn't really do anything there either, which left her at what she could do: plead to get out of this accursed form!

 

"Please? I can't take this weak, cuddly form much longer."

It was hard to tell what Charlie were expecting, but it was likely not the sight that met him.

 

At the bottom of the stairs they would thread directly unto a path of purple rocks floating in the air, creating a trail they could follow, but should not step away from as the space to the sides were filled with doors that looked like they were best left unopened. It ranged from smaller things such as being overwritten by runes, some with boards or chains set up to stop the slightly shaky doors from opening, some that were made of green fire, sickly vines or a number of other diseased elements, to the extremes that had eyes that opened as they wandered by, following their movement and whispering them to come and open to the dreaming creature behind their fleshy exterior.

 

It was unlikely that the ones whose dream the doors belonged to were the ones who had set up the wards, chains and various other things that blocked the doors that seemed to have tried and open before, or were actively trying to lure somepony to open them now, though if it was Princess Luna or somepony else that had stood for this were anypony's guess.

 

Whilst the diseased looking doors had the look as some that was perhaps opened now and again, they were a minority, and as they wandered down the path they could see so with ease. Or well, Charlie could. Briar though, could still hear and feel things around him, which made him somewhat thankful that he couldn't see it as well.

 

At the very end of the path there were a door that did not hold vileness, that stood out much against the rest of these gateways.

 

The door were of old, gnarly wood, and in the cracks showing here and there a faint, whispy glow were seen, but there wasn't a sign of anything diseased or evil about it, and in fact, you could see a few inches of grass where the door met the ground, which was more actual life than they had seen in this hall so far. The mark on the door wasn't familiar to them, but shouldn't be either considering that they had not seen Vivid's cutie mark, but it was the only door that had a visible one, and though the mark of a candle with a skeletal hoof wrapped around it wasn't the most comforting, it was not the worst that could be found here.

 

When they would walk through the door, they would find themselves in the outskirts of a town of sorts, though not one they would be able to recognise. The settlement was mostly crude tents, stone buildings or a few huts made of nearby wood, and not the smooth buildings that were known to the current age in Equestria. In fact, considering what could be seen just by a first glance, it might look more like a play about the olden days, just with more grass than would be on a stage.

 

A bit further down, before they would enter the town, a crude sign would indicate that this town was called *Equina*, though more than that wasn't present, and trying to ask somepony about things didn't help. For the rougher looking ponies around them, it was as if the pair didn't even exist, and from the talking that was going on between the citizens there it didn't sound like they had much focus on that either. Most were talking about harvest or other such mundane things, though a few words filtered through about it soon being time for the ritual, though what exactly wasn't specified by anypony.

 

"Spirits watch over you Meadow."

 

The voice of Vivid was heard before they would get far around, and following it would meet them with the sight of her, just now without all the clothing that kept her warm normally, which gave a better view of the pulsating, slightly orange, ornate patterns that was present on her body in a few major places beyond what was normally seen.

 

She hadn't taken notice of them, and was waving off a mare that had bowed her head to her before wandering away, ending with passing directly through Briar like he was made of mist. There was something to take notice off though, if Charlie would look at the reflection of Vivid in one of the nearby windows.

 

Whilst the mare in front of them had the visage of the one they had met in the waking world, the reflection of her was one of a slightly smaller mare with a more normal horn size. The coat of the mare was a pale grey with swirls of blue, her mane was less of the long *hair* it was now and more a braided mass held together at the end by a string wrapped around a bird skull, and her tail being in sharp contrast to Vivid's current, scaled and demonic tail to a regular, though rather bushy tail. Both the mane and tail were in a mixture of blue and yellow.

 

The eyes of the pony were open fully and had a faint, wispy glow going over the blue pupils, and a smile that seemed to spread joy around her was plastered on her face.

 

Briar would not be able to see this at all, and would have no idea about things, but if Charlie had a look he could likely guess that the reflection - which held some key resemblances here and there - were not of a stranger, but Vivid's own visage, though changed a good deal from how it once were.

"Oh~ wow, this world has griffons?!" Syo exclaimed, clearly have not seen many before. "I need a closer look."

 

Syo held out her paw and with a few sparkles, her key shaped staff reappeared. After pulling down her goggles, she teleported over to the griffon to inspect him.

Serenade's ears twitch even more, "Hollow??" She backs farther into the shadows, "I have no idea what you mean". Her voice is still flat, almost like a very still ocean.

 

If paying close enough attention, there seems to be flickers of movement across her skin, and a dark red glow seems to be coming from under the scarf she wears around her neck.

Sole watched everything unfold quietly, not even speaking when the strange cat spoke to him. He wasn't sure why he did, but he almost felt compelled to let things descend into violence the moment the chaos pony was cut. "Damn, I guess I've still got a little bit of Krad left in me. Focus, Sole, you dense Bastard" He mentally berated himself, before turning to the others.

 

"Sorry I didn't help you back there, Missk. I wasn't myself at the moment" he said quickly "I'm also sorry to say I gotta go. Whatever that thing was, it's dangerous. I know Dyr, or whatever her name was, is going after it, but I want to help her catch or kill it." He finished, before spreading his wings.

 

"If I can, I'll come back later. I'd like to meet your friends. See ya later!" he said, smiling cheerfully, before taking off with a single powerful flap of his wings. He swiftly gained altitude until he was speeding a few feet over the trees of the forest. He locked on to the strange cat's magical aura, and increased his speed to supernatural levels.. One of the benefits of being a magical creature with wings is that you don't always have to listen to physics, this was especially true for creatures of chaos magic.

"This were as real as you are now, but I was never a shaman. Those kind of ponies were valued guides of any town, preserving the balance for a good harvest and showing the way through the voices of the ancestors... They were the envy of many a unicorn."

 

Vivid turned around, but not fully so that she faced them. No, she turned only enough to face her own reflection whilst her somewhat bitter tone went on.

 

"We were very different. My guidance was only for the dead, and while that's a purpose too, I would have traded with one of them in an instant.

He was at least a little concerned that something might escape one of the other doors and find its way into her dreams.

Since Serenade was a bit of way from her adnd might bolt, she raised her voice a bit and talked to her as if she had already started running away, just... In case and stuff.

 

"hey, you dropped some of your papers."

"Yeah, healing spells help a lot on the more severe injuries, but it's pretty powerful stuff, and if used on a wound that's not serious enough can lead to some weird side effects. Trust me, overhealing is a real threat to your health sometimes and..."

 

Sanctus looked concerned at Gold when he spaced out and returned, not aware of what was going on. Loss of focus or a damaged short term memory wasn't always a sign that something was wrong as much as it could just be how they were, but this was still pretty shortly after he had hit his head, and she would rather be worrying too much than too little and then hearing that he ended up bleeding out of the ears or something.

 

"Are you sure that you're completely okay? perhaps it'd be better if I took you with me to the hospital and we could get you properly examined?"

@@Blitz Boom, most of the pages are covered in strange, archaic writing except for the top page. This page appears to have been taken from an even older tome, since it's not modern parchment(which has a smooth texture, this has a rough surface.) This page has a painting, artfully done in color. The creatures on the page seem to jump out from the page.

 

The only words, scrawled in red ink near the bottom are The Sirens.

 

 

Serenade keeps backing away from Omen, and shows no sign that she heard Ziggy. Her glasses fall from her nose, and in the dark both can see that Serenade's eyes are glowing green. "Please...stop...." She trips over her back legs, and ends up sprawled on her back and she desperately tries to right herself.

"well, the thing is, when I was in the real world I spent my whole life as a tree. I could not move, and I could not explore. What I would like is a way to return there, a chance to see the world and all of its wonders. If you know of anything that could help, say maybe creating a vessel I can use to exist there, will you please help me?"

Syo and Priestess had struck up a conversation, so Seamore thought it best just to stay out of it. The fox seemed to have a bit more in common with the cat than with him, so Syo could definitely keep her talking. Seamore then continued again moving the cart and its occupants toward the castle, which could now be seen in the distance, through the trees.

"Hmm. Interesting. I thought that your species was oddly similar to the Nekojin of Neighpon. Sure they do have their own magic, but not to the mage like disciplines you seem to exhibit. Perhaps there is a deeper link betwixt your realm and our own." 

 

"Well... I am not sure about the link between our realms as I came here due to a precise calculation and intent. Maybe one day you will see me in your dimension. I am not sure about this Nekojin you speak of, there are more than just cats in my realm. My kind focuses on two different types of mastery. One for our spiritual magic through developing spirit links and another for our weapon."

 

Syo twirled her staff and then tossed it up into the air like a baton and then teleporting it back to her paw.

 

"What about technology in your realm?"

Dyr stared at this griffon with clear displeasure. Is everyone in this world so annoying? She sighed as she figured what to do with this overgrown bird. After a bit of debating, she sighed.

 

"If you want to tag along, be my guest. But I am not responsible for what happens to you." Dyr said as she continued on. Then she heard something in the distance. After analyzing what it is with both her ears and her magical sense, she smirked a little. "You're in luck, keep up and you will get to see why I don't want others slowing me down."

 

Dyr then ran ahead again, using her scythe with great efficiency. She pole vaulted up to the trees and hopped on the branches, sometimes using her scythe to swing on a branch so that she can jump further.

 

She disappeared from view in a short moment, then there is a clear sound of something getting shattered that echoed through the forest.

Sole grinned back at her glare, he had to admit, he was happy to be coming along. He was expecting a big fat 'NO'. Before he could say anything else to her, she'd apparently heard something, and jumped up and into the trees, swinging from branch to branch.

 

"Hey, where ya going in such a hurry? It's not like we're chasing a monster or anything" he said sarcastically, before he heard the sounds of something snapping and breaking in the direction Dyr had gone. "Damn. Maybe I should take this a bit more seriously" he thought, as he spread his wings and took off, weaving through the trees gracefully. He wasn't sure what he'd find in the darkness ahead, but he kept his guard up just in case.
