Frosty payed close attention to Nerzhei as she explained about their magic. He never learned any of this stuff in the books he had found in the local library.

 

"Tears in time and space leaving marks sounds reasonable. But gems holding magic? I don't quite understand that. Does it cast the spell continuously, or does it only contain the energy needed? If it casts spells, can you turn it on and off? How do you do that? Ah, there is so much to LEARN!"

 

Just the thought of having objects cast magic made him more excited than he had been in a long time. All the implications that could bring! You could make a machine that turns stones into muffins, and let it run all day long! It would probably chew through those gems, but you could always recharge them, right?

 

"Wait, there is also unicorn magic? That means a unicorn cast it, right? Does that mean you have connections to Equestria? Because that's where we need to go, if you didn't know already. And breezie magic? What's a breezie? I...have never read about those. Are they rare? What are they like?"

 

Frosty had indeed never read about breezies. He never put much time into books about different creatures, and even if he did, his local library wouldn't have books about them.

 

"Also, curse magic? Isn't that super bad? It sounds like it's bad, anyway."

 

At first he had been scared of Nerzhei, but now he wasn't really scared anymore. She was probably really smart, even if it didn't quite look like that at first glance.

 

"Oh. Do you have some sort material that doesn't let magical energy through? Because with that sort of material you can make a tube that you can point in directions to find out what direction the energy is coming from. Just make sure to leave small holes in the back so you can still see the gem."

@@Minty_The_Sweet, Astral noticed the magic emitted from Crystal Ball got stronger. "I don't have any books you would be interested in" She said. feeling the magic again, it felt familiar in some way and then Astral realized that this pony was able to see the future. but she didn't want to ask about it, the other pony might not know. "Are you alright?" She asked when Crystal Ball started rubbing the back of her head.


You have your whole life left, so much to do, so much time to do it.

Use it wisely; Because you will never get a second chance.

@@Blitz Boom Cyan Flare pondered for a moment, tapping her hoof nervously against the ground, which was littered with small pieces of debris from the strong winds. "I think it would be a good idea to head nearer the edge of town, yes..." she said eventually. "And we need to get indoors, obviously." She was a highly indecisive pony. She felt uncomfortable when asked to make decisions. "We could try and get everypony to shelter below ground," she said slowly. "But then we would be trapped if whatever - or whoever - is causing this finds us..." Worry weighed heavy on her mind, and she glanced at Happy anxiously. "It might be a good idea to stick around here, actually!" she realised. "A brick house nearby, maybe; if anypony is hurt, the hospital is right here - if we gather everypony to come with us, there'll be someone who has medical training."

@@Minty_The_Sweet,

@,

 

"I sure hope she's fine."

 

After the greetings had come around and she waved a talon at the two smaller ones when it was freed from the hoof/clawshake with Astral, Florence had pretty much kept quiet, except for a small "Yes." right after she were asked whatever or not her name were Florence.

 

It wasn't that she were shy per se, but she really hated interrupting others when they were talking, and being the centre of attention, and she feared that others might look down on her if she did anything socially awkward or rude... Okay, perhaps she were a bit shy, though paranoid came about as well a little. Still, with what had gone on recently...

 

She shivered a bit just before Crystal seemingly got a migraine, or headache of some kind, and moved a bit closer before uttering her agreement that hopefully, nothing were wrong with the foal whilst still holding her own, pounding head.

 

"Maybe it was something about the book that was so awful that it made her brain reel in a bit... Heard some stuff about that book, so it wouldn't be too far fetched considering... Y'know. Though I guess that's a bit far fetched."

 

Her voice had a nervous tinge to it the further she kept on, not knowing exactly what she were supposed to do or say, and hesitant on what sort of replies would be okay right now considering one of the small ones didn't seem to feel too well.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

 

@@Rapid Wind,

 

There wasn't much to see on except the usual, lively market - for a town Ponyville's size - and the smiles all around in the happy town. Not before something seemed to slowly lower down from the small sky over the both of them that were.

 

It were done slowly and silently, and as there was a small spot in the weather right now where there were little to no wind, the piece of paper that were on the way down wasn't heard by Stargazer as it lowered to a little behind him and finally stopped.

 

The paper was cut crudely, looking like perhaps the edges had been gnawed to make it fit the rough, speech-bubble shape, and the string it was attached too seemed no more special than just regular string. What did stand out though, was the positioning of the thing, which from Rapid's point of view would look like something that Stargazer said in comic fiorm.

 

What it said? "I am Stargazer and I'm a giant silly-head."

 

Not the most mature response to be honest, but kinda fun, depending on who you were.

 

___________________________________________________________________________

 

 

@@EQ_Theta,

 

Mother smiled at the confused little being, but did not laugh.

 

"You can use magic, but this horrid essence must be purged, which is why I implore you to when you return to your own body, reach for a place of pure magic in your world and shatter the thing this foulness resides in. The natural energies should not tolerate it.

 

Magic is not just a thing you know. It is alive, flowing through mostly everywhere and weaving itself into every parts of our lives, and the purer the magic the more awareness it hold in itself. It is why the light of Angels are rare to find outside their heavens for example, as the magic they hold are so pure that it can chose to deny its holder if it does not find it worthy.

 

Places of pure magic are much the same. The magic there is alive, and at the peak it will rise up and can be spoken with and at times, learned from. If you wish to wield a safe kind of magic, they are the ones you must speak with when the unnatural magic have been purged from both your body and the object it possesses. Who knows? Perhaps the essence that gathers in your world give you both some of their energy to reside within your being if you're lucky."

 

Some called the beings she referred to Elementals, but it was far too limiting in scope to say that. Yes, some elementals did represent the height of magic in some worlds, but that were only the most natural kinds. The four base elements. It did not hold Light or Darkness, Soul or pure magic, or whatever else that particular world might have to offer. And with the hold this sacrificial magic likely had on Lin's real body and soul, she needed all the elements gathered and combined to a truer form. What she would call a *World soul* as she liked the all encompassing tone of it.

 

__________________________________________________________________________

 

 

@@Wolves,

 

"Alright then, let's see if we can find a nearby brick house or something like it, then send whatever confused sods we run into towards the hospital. Thinking that if anypony's hurt, they have all the equipment here, and they don't seem hit. Better to have that place filled up with the unlucky ones that have been hurt than trying to go field doctor."

 

Happy buckled up and started moving the wagon and himself towards town, slowing it for now in case Cyan were gonna tumble around again like she had done on the way up here, but still headed towards town and what seemed like being caught even tighter between a rock and a hard place.

 

With some luck, the ones that had escaped the dome or avoided it would get their heads on straight and head for the hospital so they'd be out of his way amongst other things. Though, considering how some had panicked around the area out of the corner of his eyes now and again, some were gonna need a nudge towards it from Captain Obvious and Miss Flu.

 

Perhaps if he mentioned she had a flu as well, they'd be more inclined to leave them alone? Not many that wanted to be around one with a cold, even though more important things happened around them. Might be a good deterrent in case they started flocking around cause he really, Really didn't want that. Sure, free buffet usually, but fear tasted like rubbery shoes with Gouda sprinkles and a teaspoon of motoroil. No contest with the sweet taste of love at all, and you wouldn't find love during what might be an invasion.

 

Oh great, why did he have to think about invasions... Hadn't his paranoia enough to work with already?

 

___________________________________________________________________________________

 

@@Frosty Frost,

@@Summer Breeze,

 

"No, the gem doesn't cast spells. Those sort of things are insanely rare and immensely valuable because they can be used as a continued energy source or a central fountain and pump system or whatever else you need that's gonna need to run in a loop continuously. The few on the market of these are harvested from random areas that hold only very little, and it tends to pop up and disappear within a day from the ground, so combined with the usefulness the price gets jacked up a lot. If I had to get a chance to work with these, I'd need to find them some day, though I'm not setting my hopes high.

 

The sort I talk about are storage for magic that have been pre-cast and sealed so the object is always usable, unless destroyed. Usually they are then crafted into simple tasks, like holding heat for water warming, or spread perpetual light like it were a small lamp, capable of being placed in clusters or on walls to give a good light through wherever they are.

 

To be more specific, think about the one I have here as a magical compass, just with a needle not pointing directly towards things most of the time. A sensor I guess is more fitting, and no, I can't turn it off. Wasn't designed to be that way, though some lazy peons would likely want it with a snooze function so they could start sleeping again.

 

You can also have raw magic stored for later use, or just outright sell it.We have a vendor from a place near Equestria come around now and again who buys magical essence like that around and then sells them on to me, which gives me access to the magic I need for both my research and to fill these gems with the right things when I have found out exactly how it works. Frankly, before you lot, I hadn't even seen a pony before.

 

As for Breezies... Think about the most obnoxious thing imaginable. Now make it too small to handle, quick enough not to be caught, highly magical and with the personality like a child who have had too much sugar.

 

Might just be the one flock I have met, but they are truly without a doubt the most maddening little critters imaginable, and if it wasn't because I needed large chunks of their magic, I wouldn't step within forty miles of them voluntarily. Yet I do, so I bite it in me and let them have the things they want and their childish fun in exchange for casting a few spells here and there.

 

Compared to those, curse magic is a breeze, no pun intended. Still dangerous to deal with, but if you handle the cursed objects very cautiously and take the precautions, the chance of things going wrong during extraction of an amount of essence from it are only at about 7.41%."

 

Nerzhei went quiet for a bit after the mouthful to think back on the first time she had tried to take out curse magic and what it had caused. Sure, it had not been as bad as it could have gone, but it got under control, and it taught her a valuable lesson: To never hire curious help that were prone to snooping in things that they'd been told to not open.

 

And now she were taught another thing, though not from experience, but from this pony that had pointed out something that in hindsight seemed so very obvious, but just hadn't crossed her mind before.

 

"So like a magical spyglass? ...Darn it, why didn't I think of that before? It seems so obvious! It would help focus the path and lead to the find to be so much easier. And the chunk that'd have to be used could be reduced dramatically, perhaps even to a few lenses so you could also use it as somewhat of a spyglass if the clarity was right. Just needs a layer of anti-magic metal on the outside and  protective layer on the inside... Lead? Fire opals? Perhaps just a few steel spikes to keep the glass from hitting the metal?"

 

Nerzhei seemed to talk to herself more than to Frosty when he pointed out a design change that could potentially make this a much more viable thing to use in larger quantities, though she acknowledged him as being there from the look of interest that had suddenly seemed to spark in her eyes as she gazed upon him.

 

"It won't be as easy to get done, but... The potential if it could, so the old design could be improved upon instead of just replicated.

 

Are you a scholar of some kind yourself? Sounds like you have at least some sort of researching or inventive part in you at least."

@,

"Oh just a power surge you know, broken horn means I can't discharge any energy so it builds up and kinda hurts" Crystal Ball lied and put on a fake smile. "Hey Butterfly, I heard you were recently reading a book on healing magic. Why don't you tell them about it?" Crystal Ball put the attention of Butterfly who froze and blushed. "I just wanted something new to read and I don't really use my magic" this was all true, Butterfly hated to use magic because of how little energy she would drain from ponies meant that magic tended to be a little painful.

"I don't think Iv ever met a griffon before, Florence wasn't it? um can I ask how you got here? also you, earth pony you said your name was Astral if I remember correctly. How did you get here?" Butterfly again showed her lack of social skills maybe a bit too much with the earth pony thing. Butterfly didn't know very much about socialising considering the fact that Crystal was the only pony she ever talked to so she tended to address ponies by their type rather then their identity.

@@Minty_The_Sweet, Astral tilted her head, after what appeared to be Crystal Ball having a migraine, the magical energy emitting of Crystal Ball was weaker. making Astral unsure what could be cause in the magical energies coming off of Crystal Ball. "Are you sure? horns don't work that way. they're supposed to naturally deposit stored magic over time." She said glancing at the broken horn. "Pretty sure the same goes for broken horns to."

Carl nodded in response to the question, then Miststalker. Miststalker then turned his head to speak to Priestess. "As we have just fought each other, let us keep our distance on the battlefield, lest I fear we may mistakenly cross blades again." In the heat of battle, Miststalker knew it might be difficult for him or Priestess to keep themselves from attacking each other because the adrenaline from that fight was still not out of their systems. He had no interest in fighting a potential ally, even if she had previously been a target.

Sisilia continued gnawing on the chunk of flesh she managed to rip off The Forgotten One. The creature's wounds weren't healing as quickly they did before. Last's attacks were doing the most damage since the blade was made for just this kind of enemy. Sylar landed a few good hits, but his blade didn't go very deep. Penny got a good distance away, scooping her chocolate frog back into her bag. She was glad the sample of black orchid petal worked to finish the effects of the chocolate she had eaten. Turning to face the creature, Penny began to charge her horn, preparing to blast the creature.

Crystal Ball tensed up a little before putting a hoof to her head this time more stressed then anything. "Well..." Crystal Ball didn't know what to say, that was what most ponies would except as an excuse and she wasn't some pony to share this with often. "Um bit off topic but what is your view on changelings? I believe that they should be allowed into society because they can't all be heartless monsters. Maybe some are really nice"

Crystal Ball started sweating now, not used to being interrogated in this fashion. "Oh you remember that canterlot invasion? I remember a really nice changeling helping me escape some of the more hungry ones. Never got her name though but she did look a lot like that royal changeling Queen Chrysalis if I remember. We just talked and talked for ages but she too was blasted away with the shockwave. A few days after the love shockwave I met Butterfly over here and we talked about books although she did seem a little sick at the time." Crystal spilled out the words, not really thinking a need to hide this. If Butterfly could sweat she would of made a swimming pool. Butterfly started fighting with her hooves like she would do in social situations or when she became stressed.

@,

Butterfly and Crystal Ball just stared at Astral before staring at each other.

"Wait! you can see into the future?!"

"Wait! you are a changeling?!"

Butterfly forgot her disguise completely and dropped it, the automatic response for a changeling when they are found out. Crystal Ball heard the sound and a vision of a pink changeling in a field ready to fly off appeared in her mind and she gasped. Crystal Ball remembered accidentally talking about her visions about the Changeling she had met and suddenly drew back as the pieces connected in her head. "Wait.. your the changeling I met that helped me!" Crystal Ball shouted as Butterfly's wings started to buzz as she prepared to fly off but stopped. "Wait... how did you know I was a changeling? also what flower are you looking for?" Butterfly asked Astral, ready to fly off if danger appeared.

@@Minty_The_Sweet, Astral blinked a few times. "I have no idea how to explain this."

"You, emit a very weak magic, but it gets stronger when you have visions."  She turned to Butterfly. "And you, I can sense the stored magic of love inside you."

@,

"Wait so you can sense I am a changeling?" Butterfly's blood ran cold (Well colder) at the thought of how many ponies could sense it and how dangerous this could be. Some changelings she deeply cared for and worried for their safety as they tended to hunt at the same time as her. "Wait I have magic? and it gets stronger with my visions? can't lie, that is kinda cool" Crystal Ball seemed a bit happier at this.

"But... how?" the two mares asked at the same time, quite curious. "Aren't you a earth pony? how could you use magic" Butterfly was completely puzzled by this considering she had aced the biology part of the curriculum.

"That's... one way to put it," Lin pondered."Maybe there is wisdom to be found in these 'places of power' for me to gain. It should help me find a way to move forward. Would you know where such a place could-"

Sen quickly cut in and pulled Lin by one spine on her neck. "No! Absolutely not!" The older longma said furiously. "You've seen what your irresponsible use of magic could have done. Do you think keeping it with you is a good idea?!"

Lin reflexively turned to her brother and raised her voice in reply,"If there is a chance the dark aspects of this kind of magic could be removed, it will be worth it! I know I'm unable to use it properly but let me do this. After using this on you, I've noticed there are benign uses. This magic can be used to help others. If I had the chance to comfort you and remove those terrible nightmares you've had for the last few years, I would have done so!"

Upon hearing those words, Sen let go of his sister's spine. Lin softly continued: "I saw them too when I was merged with you. Sorry doesn't begin to describe the way I felt and... I can't help but feel I'm responsible for them. If you don't want me using magic, then so be it, but let me try to do right by you."

Still furious, Sen turned and distanced himself from Lin and she watched, she felt she had one more reason to keep her mouth shut. "What did I do wrong now," Lin muttered.

@@Rapid Wind,

 

Stargazer didn't get what Rapid were talking about before he followed the hoof and saw the piece of paper dangling above him, though he didn't get a chance to read it before the string it were on were dropped, and the paper fell to the ground, landing backside up.

 

He were about to mumble something about *Foal tricks* when the sky that the string had come from also let something else out. or somepony else in fact, that were racing down towards the Night Guard's face and wrapped around the baffled stallion's neck.

 

It was a filly, around 10-13 yeas old from the looks of things, and though her colours were a bit off the wings told enough to show that she were a bat pony. She wore a small coat with a large neck, tinted blue glasses, shoes but on with clasps and a belt with small pockets and a flash light hanging down the side, though why a bat pony would need a flash light was a mystery in itself.

 

On the filly's long, bushy tail, a large, hairy spider lazily wandered with small steppes further and further up until he were placed on the somewhat slicked back mane of his owner, and looked at Stargazer with no fear in the two red eyes.

 

"Yey, daddy! I found you!"

 

The voice was happy enough to nearly make it seem like it was made of sunshine and rainbows, but considering how long Jelly Drop had waited for this, who could blame her? She'd barely been able to contain herself when she saw him earlier, and after he had seen her hiding place, she could finally stop playing around and just embrace him.

 

Stargazer on the other hoof, seemed to have gone into a sort of *Error, loading* phase, where his brain had shut down on *surprised face* and tried to re-establish a link between his brain and his body.

Sure, she cared about many other things with Derpy, like if her tail were okay, and debating whatever or not it'd be awkward to ask about the eyes, for example. But that didn't mean that she wasn't mighty curious about the wonderland of pretty flowers and yummy treats the mailmare had apparently been at today.

"A map? Watch your steppes and you can get one. Ko?"

 

It was barely a question that came from Ashta to let Ko know that he should step up and get to work, but as the feline had mentioned a map, he knew his kin enough to know that the small push was all that were going to be needed. No need to waste a good commando tone when he knew the his underling were so very eager to use his skills.

 

The spiderling in question wouldn't waste time in drawing his knives whilst he spread silk on the empty piece of ground in front of him and started carving with precise and guided strikes, sometimes cutting things away, at times adjusting, and other times adding, eventually leading to a map of sort to be visible on the ground of the town of Ponyville that took more form as his guided hands went along with the work.

 

"You didn't think that the Beast Court wouldn't do resonance on a town where the Elements of Harmony rose up, did you? We have eyes where it matters.

 

Let him finish the map, and you can pick a place to settle the surprise party. Which reminds me-"

 

"I know to add distance from here and scale of the town compared to this."

 

Ko interrupted before Ashta would have the chance to say something, which he knew irked Ashta at times, but he didn't want to be told to add base things like this. He had scouted the town himself a few times, so having someone else tell him to focus up and get it done right was irritating, and implied that he was a beginner at his job. Which were far from the truth of things, as he knew for a fact that if it came top it, he could scout better than Ashta. That he were higher up the food chain stopped him from pointing that out, though not from finishing the sentence to save some dignity as the map came along.

 

Still, to get accurate numbers if it were, they'd need to know the exact length there. Something the smoke rising from the town might help with? It wasn't much, but the steady stream from chimney in the outlying farm should help if you had an eye for distance and got up above the tree crowns.

 

Briar didn't care much for whatever went on with the spiders himself though. He couldn't see the map or what were going on there, so he could only judge this on the lot of them about to go to Ponyville, which would be quite a sight to behold, and the fact that with most of them gone, Brittle were likely more safe. Something that the changeling in question still didn't feel much as she saw the edges of the large, dead spider from before, let out a small meep and randomly transformed before backing down a bit.

 

it were not a large change, but one of her wings had taken the shape of a spatula, her mane were gone, and her legs had gotten yellow stripes. Nothing major except for the fact that now she really couldn't fly anywhere.

 

In her panicked mind she stepped back a little and to the side to get Seamore between her and the spider, then looked around and saw that she were a little close to other beings. In particular, the changelings, and more specifically, who she didn't know to be their queen. Allure herself, whom her eyes fell upon and returned to between looking if the spider were moving and wondering why this mo- Changeling, looked different than the others.

 

She had a mane, and a tail, which didn't seem to be with the other, smaller ones. But still, the changeling were too uniform in shape for her to think that it were anything like what had happened to her. There wasn't anything random, just... More normal, in a changeling sort of way.

 

Why the thought entered her mind now she didn't know, but perhaps it were to stop her instincts from taking over and just run in the other direction, hoping that she wouldn't get caught or stuck in the middle of something incredibly dangerous again.

"Aaargh! Why you little..."

 

Last jumped back a little, with a small line of blood trickling after her from the slash she had gotten across the face. It wasn't deep, or going further than her left cheek, but it were still a painful strike that had been close to hitting her eye, and she were starting to get fed up with this.

 

It was bad enough that she were getting sloppy enough for this to happen - she had taken too many chances and went for a good hit thinking she wouldn't be hit. She were wrong - but all in all she felt like this was still not working properly.

 

Yeah, sure, Nemo there had a lot more wounds now than when they started, but it didn't seem to slow it down, and frankly it acted more like it were just getting irritated thus far, like they were insects fluttering around it. Heck, even the hit the two strange, serpentine creatures she had vaguely seen hadn't done much more than make it yowl painfully once far as she could tell, and dig a little into itself.No big deal though far as it seemed. Plenty of mass to go around or something.

 

She wasn't going to stop though, and barely after moving back she attacked again, continuing her strikes until she knew better, hoping that maybe, just maybe, the next hit would be the one that made a difference.

 

Meanwhile, at the barrel, a yelp was heard from inside as it toppled over and rolled away a little before hitting a wall. At which point a pony that could barely keep on his hooves from the dizzy spell combined with hitting stone, tumbled out and groggily went towards where Ink stood, trying to get to what he thought was an open door next to the pony whilst speaking with himself.

 

"They're crazy... All of them are completely crazy. Why attack something that can't be seen? We're doomed... We're doomed..."

@@EQ_Theta,

 

Mother floated gently down towards Lin, placing herself next to her and bowing down so she could speak softly with the Longma without too many ears listening in. Though that really depended on how Sen's ears were after all. As a bat, hers were too good for the two to hide small mumblings and the like, but these were not like her, and their threshold were likely not the same.

 

"From what I have seen, he is mad at your interest in magic as it have been magic itself that have gotten you here. It have torn your energy from your body and left it in his, corrupting not just yourself but nearly him too. It have brought you nothing but grief, and pain, so could it not be that he would want nothing to do with something that might make it happen again?"

 

She spoke softly enough for Lin to hear it, though would begin to raise her voice a small amount so she could be sure that her brother would be able to hear it unless he tuned her out.

 

"But he sees it wrong. Magic have gotten you into this mess, but without it, it will not stop. It will devour you, even if you try to not use it anymore as it have already tasted your spirit and life now. To avoid it, will mean death to you. No, to the both of you, as it will use the link that were there to tear into him.

 

Still, his worry is not without merit. Some world's magical spirits can be... Malicious, and could punish on a whim or lie like there were no tomorrow and take advantage of you. To trust them fully would be folly, even if they would want the polluted energy in you gone from their sight. There is the time after that of course, and there his worry is justified.

 

Really, you are both right, as well as wrong. You are both blinded by things, and concern drives you to think the other is not thinking things through. Feelings that can lead to anger, and you do not need that now. Not with the battle you will have ahead of you when you get out here to find both a place of pure magic, and the hour of twilight when it is at its peak."

 

She rose again and flew up high before landing again, wanting to move around a little, and give the siblings some clear space to look at eachother for a few seconds before she landed near the bed.

 

"I can't help you find it though. I will not leave this realm as my children needs me here, though perhaps you can find the location in a tome or from a powerful being residing in your home? They should know the clues, as the places are often riddled with magic to a degree where the earth have trouble sitting still and stone floats, with pure energy gathering around and nature taking on forms you could not find other places. The more energy you see and the worse the lands look, the closer you are tho the centre where you should aim.

 

Omen can help you traverse the place when you find it, though I urge you not to throw things in here from that place. My children find outside things fascinating, but magical objects are... Troublesome, for the unformed at times."

@@Blitz Boom, Cresent breathed out realizing he was holding his breath after the story and for the answer, glad he didn't take the same route the batpony did. It had been slowly eating at him weather the death was in itself a forgiveness. He shook his head clearing the memory's away. "well, iv yet to go through that much struggle for sure but ill help out how ever I can when we get back, which reminders me" the batpony said turning towards the slug.  

 

"so how close are we now, or where else do we have to go you think" he asked

@Seamore Sandwich, @Melke, @Mentis Soliloquy,

 

 

Priestess looked over at the map. "I'd say that's coming along nicely. Though does anyone know where in Ponyville we're supposed to be stopping?" 

 

Reverie looked at the giant spider that Syo dumped out. "That's the thing that's causing all this trouble?"

 

Allure also looked off at the giant spider, before a flash of changeling magic caught her attention. She saw the semi-disguised changeling, the super skittish one, take an even more conspicuous and nonsensical form. Then she made eye contact with the mish mash of transformations. It didn't take an empath to understand what this one was feeling.

"I suppose I might know where to start looking. There is an old cave far to the east where I stumbled upon an orb containing said magics, the same one I used to give myself power." Lin paced back and forth, taking five steps in one direction then turning around to take twice as many.

 

"With luck, that cave is still untouched by anyone else lest they stumble into it like I did. Whether it is has changed its surroundings now will be a concern when I see it for myself. But what do you mean by throwing 'things from that place'? Like throwing them into the wind and it might end up here?"
