when summer heard a voice comming from nearby them she flew a few meters up and got in her defence modes. she helt her front legt in front of her and tried to locate the treath as fast as she could. her wings were ready to blow any treath away as soon as it showd itself.

 

she learned this skill on her various trips to the everfree forest and it had saved her life many times.

 

then, a tiny little dragon came from the bushes and summer almost couldn't keep her laughing, she almost felt embarest that she let herself get scared by such a little thing. but the other dragon was worth to be scared of. she was big and intimidating. even laryel seemed to be intimitated by her! when she spoke summer decided not to like her, she seemed cold and unkind.

 

summer stayed in the air, on the same hight as the biggest dragon. she didn't want to be far away from her, but she wanted to be able to look her in the eyes.

 

'who are you?' summer asked her with a reserved tone 'and why would we come with you? why can't we talk here?' and summer looked the big dragon in the eyes.

 

then summer noticed that her pony friends were talking, it came to her as a buzz in the background but it didn't seem to affect her. the female dragon however seemed not to like it so summer smiled a bit and didn't tell the others to stop. the little dragon didn't seem to like it either and summer got annoyed by him since he was moving so much so she flew over to him and grabbed the rope. then she flew over to a tree to hang him there. 'much better' she muttered.

Jealous was one word that could describe Lin at the moment. Not that she was any less content with what, or who, she had at the moment. Having been given the chance to reunite with Sen after many years of separation was a welcome relief but the current predicament shared by both siblings didn't make her any content with herself. But she won't show this or voice out her feelings; those weren't necessary right now. 

"Sounds nice having some place to go back to," Lin replied. "Even your mother sounds like an approachable sort. I'm honestly feeling like I'm at the beginning of time where chaos supposedly was the only thing present before everything else was formed. Will it be long before we meet your mother?"

She is the only constant in our home. Solid, never-changing, just like the building where she lives and from where we come. Yet none finds the centre she have shrouded unless she wills it, and the stories any of us can remember with her meeting outsiders are few."

 

A display looking like a shadowy ocean with ships battling briefly came into form to their left before it dispersed again.

 

"She says she doesn't care to see our masters unless she fears they harm us. And even then, she comes to them, not the other way, and her house is kept safe. Even master couldn't find it when he tried, though I hope this time goes better because you aren't my master. You're my friend. Or at least some of you are."

 

A playground of shades started to appear around them, briefly showing shadowy figures of many kinds toying with vague shapes of playground toys made from even vaguer memories of old stories. Since those stories and few looks from long ago were all they had to work with, time would take its toll on the specifics of those as their memories weren't infinite, and things vanished here and there as newer stories were told that filled their minds.

The largest of the assembled dragons - or Atazi - removed the clawed hand from her head and looked at the circus of a group they had run into, ending on the one of the ponies that seemed hostile in it, but at least were the only one she did not currently want to knock out and drag after her to make them shut up. She did Not need their noise in her head right now.

 

"I am Nerzhei, and you're coming with us one way or another because either we get out of here, or we'll leave you here and come back to harvest you when the valley have made you into a tree and you'll end up warming my fireplace. I'd strongly advise you to take the first option, unless you want to test me, pony?"

 

The hissing tone were hostile to a point, that were true, but as so far she were being faced with an irritating brat, a stallion that sounded like he had cracked under pressure and a mare that flew up and put a challenging attitude towards her, the question really remained if this were just how she were in general, or if it were giving back in kind to what she got.

 

Lyriel weren't sure, but she Were sure however that this were starting to escalate in a very bad way. Though the ponies were not currently part of the forest, the flames of the Atazi would likely still burn them, and if you aggravated those kinds enough they seemed eager to make use of that skill.

 

As such, she moved forward, picked up the still-talking Blitz - which thankfully made her stop talking - and rose a glowing hand towards the tree where the smaller of their scaled guests were bound for now, which made the tree creak and bend until it were low enough to make the small one hit the ground, at which point he finally wriggled out of the rope and crawled up into the tree that were straightening out under Lyriel's touch again.

 

When she were done, she quickly moved closer and placed herself between Frosty and Summer, looking at Nerzhei with as calm a face as she could.

 

"Honoured Nerzhei, I humbly beg of you to forgive my new friends. Their travel through this forest have been a strange experience for them, and this familiarity they seem to have to your noble kind just haves them reacting a little more than I'm sure they'd normally do."

 

The dragon moved her sight away from the mare and looked over at the dryad that were holding the major noise-polluter whom looked at her with big eyes and a gleeful smile. That one were silent at least for now, so that removed one problem, though she were still not too happy about the other two ponies. As for the dryad... There were issues there, but strangely the obvious one about them normally being hostile and territorial were not one of them. A curious situation, but that were above her pay grade.

 

With that in mind, she nodded slowly at the Dryad and returned her gaze to the pegasi.

 

"Now then, do you want to keep pushing buttons, or do you get your friend to calm down so we can get something productive done here instead of standing around and literally grow roots?"

 

Meanwhile, whilst the back and forth were going on between pony and dragon with a middle ground of dryad, the smaller dragon got himself better placed in another, nearby tree and scouted out the unicorn with narrowed eyes, wondering if he would become quiet if he got jumped. Might be that Nerzhei didn't think much of his fighting skills, but he knew she thought even less of noisy beings than that, and he might be able to get away with it if he took the battle to this one.

 

Sure, the pony were bigger than him, but that didn't stop a dragon after all. He were tough. Honestly!

With that he took the jar, the thermometer, and left the room, closing the door quietly behind him as he headed for another room in the hospital where they had a pony with a microscope. He had a talent for spotting what bacteria they were really dealing with.

 

"Well then... Guess that's the first exam at least."

"For your own safety, I'd suggest not touching the castle itself when we get there right off the bat. The stories are rife with the new princess using varied arcana, and the castle might be under some kind of defensive spell that will react badly to outside influence."

 

Was it likely? He'd go with a tentative yes, but it were hard to say. She were young, but a student of Princess Celestia, and if rumour served right had spent a lot of time practising her magic thus far. Would make sense that she would want to use those skills to protect her own home he'd think, and would explain the unguarded, open windows.

 

Whilst Rapid trotted along, Stargazer had taken to finally using his wings again and flew besides the pegasi headed for a closer look at the new princesses castle. It were low to the ground, granted, but he felt this more than starting to go into a run at this point. Not his strong side considering he usually just flew wherever he needed to be.

The blade had a unique effect on the creature, making the area around the wound visible to the living. "AAAAAHHHH!!!" Only the Forgotten would be able to hear Charlie's scream of pain.

A voice telling something from far away?

 

To somepony who didn't know much about the hivemind, such as Briar, it were puzzling to hear such a thing. What he had thought from the vague snippet of information he had heard on that particular topic, he had assumed that the hivemind worked somewhat like telepathy. As in the voice reaching, connecting, and then being roughly the same audibly. Though from this, either the connection were frailer in general than he thought, or something were amiss that he would like to know more about... In better times. Right now, they still stood on shaky ground and he'd rather not begin an inquiry after Priestess had generously helped him and the others to be considered safe, potentially risking annoying them enough to ignore her words.

 

Sure, her position may be higher than he thought, but he could not risk it right now. And besides, he'd have enough time to learn about such a thing later. There were changelings in the area of Ponyville, and this seemed like a simple one to fnd out there another time when things were calmer.

 

"I can help either you or Syo, Seamore. I would not like to leave either of you alone, but perhaps the trees are protection enough for the pair of you here? You are more aware of this than I, so I will let you decide where I can help the most."

 

If he were told to go with Syo, it would be on his own. Though he did not trust the spiders, the trees would be able to protect her better than he could if they left here in case they had more settling in. He couldn't count on being able to get a surprise hit in as easy again another time now that they knew of this part of him, and though it pained him some to think about, he were reluctantly aware of as well that there were a stalemate here, and that she should be safe unless something suddenly sparked amongst them. With the army standing ready to attack nearby, he would not think that should be a thing, and if it were... Well, it would meet its end fast.

Sure, she had been hit as a result of her reckless attack, and had been slung away a bit, but that didn't deter her. No, not after knowing that this worked.

 

She felt a short sting of pain as she rose up though from the side of her stomach, but nothing more than that. No feeling of her coat suddenly getting wet with blood were a sign that the stitching on the wound running nearly the length of her stomach were still holding, which were good, but likely some tissue that had started to patch up had just gotten torn. A real pain in the flank, but she could whimper about this later if more pain came or she ended rupturing something. For now, she had a battle to fight.

Perhaps things would change.

Curious and with a hint of concern, but regardless, still she simply watched.

 

She felt no panic alongside Lin, nor fear for what were happening to her. Just thoughts on what could be happening, and wondering what she were going to say, since there was nothing she could really do. She were not magic, and this were a problem with magic.

"Hmm, noted," Rapid Wind replied and got a little concerned that any spell put on the castle to defend it from outside intrusion might have a bad effect on him and as he trotted a little closer, he hoped not to be zapped.

She takes another deep breath, "underwater, and in the safety of my own home I can let loose but along other ponies.." She sighs, "That is why I didn't dispute the transfer to the Night Court, and why I moved to Ponyville and....and never had any close friends before I met you and....well, I'd say Omen is a friend but that is one weird...pony-like creature." She closes her eyes.

While roaming the halls, trying to find the library, Starlight Glimmer came across Discord. "Who...?" Starlight began to ask. "Discord! I wasn't expecting you!" Twilight said practically through her teeth, having rounded the corner to see the two of them. She was trying to appear friendly, but she was quite irritated that Discord had showed up unannounced. Still, she managed to keep a smile on her face, even if it were a fake smile. Starlight was a bit confused, but also a bit surprised to be meeting Discord for the first time all of a sudden. It looks like Twilight's lesson plans are out the window for today.
