Gold Rush thought for a moment still using hsi magic to keep the icepack on his bump. It was getting warm but still would help swelling. "Oh yes Canterlot and other big cities are nice but nothing like small towns to just let yoruself relax. He saw the hospital just down the lane. "Really wish I could go see the Tree of Harmoney in person, i hear it just as grand as Twlight castle." he takes a gander at the large shadow cast by said castle in the distance standing out like a beacon.

"The name is Charlie Everdream, it's nice to actually see you this time. And who is this?" he asked, referring to the only pony who wasn't there when he had possessed Briar. Then Priestess started moving about, dragging Charlie along with her as she jumped over the cart. "Well, that was fun. It seems you'll be dragging me around while you're here. Weird, they didn't tell me anything about this-" "That's because you left before they could," one of the other Everspirits chimed in. "After you left they told us about this place, Luna created it. When any part of a physical body is brought to the Realm of Dreams, the spirit or soul whose body it belongs to is pulled to it. They did say this portal hasn't been used since the time before Luna was banished to the moon, though."

 

From the sky descended Princess Luna, and in her 'Royal Canterlot Voice' she asks, "HOW DOTH THEE INTRUDE UPON THIS REALM?" This seemed to be directed mostly at Missklang and Priestess. Luna was confused by seeing the two of them together. She believed that not much good could come from this. She didn't seem to notice Crescent or Last stand specifically, as her focus lay solely on Missklang and Priestess.

Syo wandered about by herself in the castle ruins after leaving the rest to cross the bridge and meet her here. The ruins really peaked her excitement as she went around and took shots with her camera that she took out from her magical satchel. In Syo's homeworld, the technology was not about being slim and efficient but being big and adaptable. The camera was on the large side for Syo but is able to capture moments in complete marble realities so that Syo can revisit a holographic version later back home. As Syo looked around, she realized that the place was not worn down by time; rather, something destroyed it and the inhabitants moved out without trying to fix the place up.

 

Syo wandered through the hallways, looking at the amazing statues and ancient deco. She started to wonder where are the rest. A portal should not take so long to reach this place.

"I am guessing that he would first try and establish a connection to this world so that he would not run out of energy." Dyr speculated. "Between you and me, I am getting more tired for every second I stay here. It is most likely the same for him. Once my energy runs out, I will be powerless to do anything."

 

Dyr's left paw shook uncontrollably as she said that. She then quickly turned to you but hiding her shivering paw behind her back. "So where is this altar?"

"Oh, hey Chuck." She remembered the tree spirit that possessed that... plant horse whose name escaped her at the moment... again. She payed attention to the conversation betwixt the Everfree wisps... until her hearing was rattled by a booming echoing voice, one that could only belong to the members of Maneowar!  ...Or the Princess of the Night.

 

She looked up and saw the Lunar regent herself descending upon them, and glaring towards the general direction of off kilter chaos horse. And herself.  

 

"I think she's talking to you bruh!" she sorta yelled out to him, as she was cleaning her ear out with a paw in a attempt to restore it's use.

Queen Allure landed in front of the archway. Tracks from a cart, as well as Priestess's own paw prints led right to it, but saw none beyond it. She looked at the parchment again. "This is the place. I've never been to the Umrba before. Hopefully it's welcoming to Changelings. Unfortunately, her party members are mostly Equine, and probably won't be." Blue & purple fires wrapped around her tall frame, turning dark gray chitin to cinnamon red fur, holed hooves to black paws, her mane of various pastel blues, purples & grays into uniform silver, and she into a he.

 

The twig fell and was caught by a pair of white coated jaws. Standing before the portal was a very large, long maned, silver bearded, red fox, with a set of wooden saddle bags on it's back. In a deep voice, he muttered through the stick "If there are any harmful side effects, I'm going to force feed you your own entrails." He took a deep breath, slowly released it, and made his slow trek to the portal.

When Luna arrived and talked with a booming voice, Briar wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. He couldn't see who the princess was looking at, nor even tell that it was her. Ponyville was the closest he had ever been to Canterlot, and though he dreamt like any other sentient being, he could never recall a time when the princess of the night had visited one of them. As such, he had no point of reference to by with Princess Luna, beyond some details of her colours, the night sky and her cutie mark, which really wasn't helping him in the slightest. Far as he knew, this might as well be an attacker.

 

Still, he did not raise a vine towards her yet, but instead simply stood still with a worried frown going over his face and awaiting some clue as of what was going on, and who this mare was speaking to. Since the others hadn't sounded hostile towards Luna yet, he wouldn't jump the gun and be the first to try a swing, but he would be ready for whatever would happen. Hopefully, that wouldn't end being combat with this - from his perspective - unknown mare.

 

He might have had some clue if Last had said something, as she would always know Princess Luna in a heartbeat, but when her majesty had appeared her response wasn't so much to proclaim who Luna were to the others as much as giving a bow, like they had all did where she came from,towards the princess and standing still in that position, awaiting what would happen. What exactly she wasn't sure, but she knew that her majesty's gaze or questioning voice was not directed towards her at this point, and it was too ingrained in her to be respectful of Princess Luna to even consider speaking or acting out of turn. Last Stand might not technically be under command of her anymore, but that didn't mean that she would ever stop being it in her heart anyway. She were raised to follow Luna after all.

 

It was also what would perhaps have made her kick Vivid if she had been able to hear the mumbling voice the mare had given out when Luna had descended. Because in contrast to Briar's concern of Last's respect, Vivid had just met the descend of Luna with an unimpressed gaze towards the princess, and a low voice, barely audible unless you stood close to her, going "I should have known.".

 

It wasn't because Vivid had anything personally against the princess, but she were still a bit cranky about how they had gotten here, and it showed in her way of handling things right now. Though, at least it was set more towards neutral than verbally hostile. Things would not start off well if she had been angry and feeling completely respectless instead of just a little miffed, so all things considered this could be seen as a good sign.

"It is fun, but sometimes I find a good walk can be just as good. Just slowly going about, feeling the soft grass on my hooves and just enjoying the baking sun. Being earthbound doesn't mean there's not a lot of fun feelings to be had too."

 

Ziggy quickly zoomed over next to Serenade, and half-whispered with her face near the disguised Siren's..

 

"And you bet Omen's a bit of a special pony, but in a weird, fun way."

 

"I'm not."

 

"It's not an insult. Special is a good thing."

 

"No, not that."

 

She still kept her eyes nailed to Serenade, wanting to see if something more happened with the disguised Siren when Ziggy were that close.

 

"I'm not a pony. And how do you fly when you sing?"

 

It wasn't that Omen wasn't willing to share things, which is why she had openly said that she wasn't one of either of the other two's races, but she were curious by nature, and so had gone onwards to a question instead of sticking with the first part. She would answer if they wondered, and from the weird look in Ziggy's eyes, there was at least one of them who'd wonder what was up with her then.

"It would likely be an impressive sight, but I wonder if the tree isn't guarded or something these days considering what happened there."

 

It wasn't up to her to say if Gold knew about the attack of the Everfree Forest that had gone on, and how the elements had to return to the tree to stop things, but the whole thing had just spun out on control and though she didn't know about the tree in any way, she could imagine it might have gotten some guards in case something went wrong or somepony would try to attack it. It was hard to tell without knowing how the tree were really, and likely the only one who'd know for sure would be Twilight. If there had gone any guards there, it would likely be because of her.

There aren't any older Sirens around to explain, and I only found out by trial and error. Can't exactly walk into the School of Gifted Unicorns and ask them how Sirens fly via singing." She shifts around, and brushes a strand of wet mane off her muzzle, "And the only other pony that I can sense has encountered our type of magic...well, I've been warned away from her".

"The other problem is...in order to properly fly, I would need to sing one of the Old Songs, and I really...really don't want to cause problems".

 

She takes another deep breath, "And before you ask, the Old Songs would influence both of you...well, maybe just you Ziggy. And it would alert anybody in the area that...a very powerful and ancient type of magic was being used. And I would prefer to remain alive and unimprisoned."

At the mentioning of her order, and Princess Luna's gaze resting on her, Last Stand opened her muzzle and replied without delay.

 

"Until the bitter end your majesty. I will not let them out of my sight."

 

She heard Missklang and turned to look at what was happening with him, then looked back up, directly at Princess Luna with a look in her eye of acceptance. Not over her new assignment, but over what it might lead to her having to do if things got out of hoof..

 

"No matter what that might entail."

 

Her family, and the entirety of the guards they had been part of for generation upon generation, were used to having to do unpleasant things to get their duty done. Once that had been to guard, deflecting countless attack and making sure that the ones who did would not get a second chance to come back, and now? It would begin as guard duty, but she would not flinch or hesitate if they made her give a choice between them, or following Luna's words. Warnings at first though. This were not a warzone, and Princess Luna would likely not approve that she treated it as such unless the situation didn't leave her with many other option, as if for example they grew violent.

 

Over to the side, Briar's ears perked up a bit at hearing a few things that pointed it towards being a royal, which meant one of the normally not violent princesses. It helped him relax a bit, though he kept silent. There were much to hear from the others and little reason for him not to listen and try to learn for the time being.

 

Vivid on the other hoof, bit notice in a few things, but not something beyond trivial from most of them. A few seemed to know Luna, a couple of words, requests and in one case, obedience were thrown her way, which wasn't half as drawing to her eye as what happened with Missklang, and seeing him like this made her briefly frown.

 

It had been a long, Long time ago since she last had a head on with Discord, but her defeat still stung, and so had her punishment. While this were not him, obviously, the form reminded her off the chaos lord and his tricks, and at brought her memories that she would rather have burried as they both pleased and irritated her, and she didn't appreciate the duality.

 

In a sense, the lord of chao had unwillingly helped her, but at the same time, 1100 years were a long time, and especially when you were aware of every moment not spent in deep sleep of that, starring at the same things that were always there. It had not been often she had been awake, but the memories of when she had were deep rooted, just like her mixed feelings about the race that Missklang now represented.

 

Turning away from that sight, she wandered over to one of the mushrooms and started to examine that instead. If anypony had something to say to her, they could in due time. Right now, she wanted a distraction, and the odd surroundings would have to do for the time being. When it was her turn (or when she got bored) there would be plenty enough to talk about.

Over at Omen, Ziggy had zoomed over once more, and was now slowly circling the *pony*, trying to find what was odd about her beyond the odd thing with her mane and tail moving no matter wind or not, and that she didn't blink. And the whole *speaking in their heads* thing.

 

"Are you sure you're not a pony? You look like one."

 

"Master said this would fit this world when he chose me amongst the others. One voice, amongst thousands."

 

Suddenly, between where Ziggy now stood and where Serenade stood, a dot appeared in the air and expanded, like she did when Omen had travelled before. Now, without her blocking the view, they were both better able to see the everchanging landscape in the varied shades of dark and grey inside from the... Well, technically hole between worlds.

 

Nothing was sitting still in there, nothing kept form. Sometimes, you could see a grand mountain, then is disbaned into a cloud, lake, lamp post, anything really. it was like looking at shadows without anything ever staying the same, except for one thing: Now and again, a random number of eyes would open in some place seemingly from nowhere and look at them until the thing they stood on moved them away.

 

"Oh cool! But this sorta just looks like a hole in nowhere. Does this mean that I can just jump through to get to Serenade?"

 

Ziggy didn't wait for an answer before she ran into the paperthin portal, expecting to run through and meet with Serenade, but instead, she vanished as she ran into the other world, and what Serenade would see from her side of the portal would be Ziggy, suddenly standing someplace deep inside the realm she was looking at. It didn't look like she was in any trouble, and in fact she appeared to be having a good laugh about things as eyes started to show around her and focus on the solid amongst them.  constant in a world where no constant usually were.

 

"World between worlds, where no light ever shines. Where shadows forms and disbands, and everything can be, yet still not be."

 

Ziggy appeared to talk with the clusters of eyes for a bit before suddenly falling like the floor had been taken away from under her, then a second later popped through a portal opening above them, making the large, half-Zebra fall to the ground a few centimetres from the first gate.

 

Omen didn't close the gates yet, but looked up and through the one she had opened to get Ziggy back, meeting other eyes like hers. In other shapes and sizes of course, but still the same characteristics: Pale grey, and never blinking.

But when your life were based around protecting the interests of and follow the words of a single entity, having somepony that she had been told to keep ean eye out for then grasp towards said entity made for a kneejerk reaction.

Priestess couldn't help but try to hide her snickering behind a paw. Anything that embarrassed a being of high power or stature always brought her great amusement.

No. Having the swords-mare turned swords-hare back to swords-mare point her blade at his throat was funnier. She was content to sit back and watch all this absurdity unfold.

She rolls her eyes, chuckles to herself, "A spastic Pegasi and a...something in Pony form. oh Luna will be over the moon to learn they know. What's next" She's not expecting the universe to answer, but given her luck she knows that the Universe is gonna answer and have a laugh at her expense.

In response to the Batpony's question, Luna says, "My magic would have no effect on anypony here, as I am not physically here, but you all are. I cannot help."

 

When Last drew her blade on Missklang, Luna says, "It's okay," though too quietly for the others to hear over Missklang as he said, "You are so funny. Do you really believe you can hurt me with that? And calm down. I'm her friend! I won't eat her! But ok, if you insist..."

 

When he walks away, leaving his arms behind, her face is still and expressionless, just as it was when facing Discord himself over a millennium prior. She most certainly was not amused by any of Missklang's antics.

 

"You can find the portal if you head in that direction. I will be off to return to aiding the young ones with their nightmares. I trust the capable hands of a Guardian of the Shrine. And Crescent, there is a great deal of difference between a warning, as this Guardian has given, and an attack, as you have done. Although no harm may have been done this time, you may not be so fortunate next time, try to be more careful in the future." "Thank you again, Princess Luna," Seamore said before the Princess flew of into the sky and disappeared.

 

"You heard her. If you're all ready, we've got to head that way," Seamore said as he began pulling the cart again, in the direction of the other portal, not noticing that a new member had joined the group.

 

While all of this was happening, over where Priestess and the newcomer were, Charlie was still connected to the stick. "So you're just going to talk about me like I'm not even here, and just calling me a stick, too. You know I have a name right?" he sad in a tone that clearly indicated he meant it as a joke.

"Um, Priestess, there's a floating specter above your, erm, stick." He pointed a paw at the apparition. "Oh yeah, that's Chuck. He was the spirit of some ancient rainbow trees this crew were cutting down." She pointed back towards the troope. "I saved them from a chaos spider. Which reminds me. There was a chaos spider in the Everfree." Her companion looked at her a little confused. "So?" Priestess replied "It wasn't supposed to be there. A being that powerful, just invading the Everfree like that? Why was it there to begin with. Ponies were saying it wasn't a natural species and was wrecking the ecosystem. It's possible that the Anansi may have something to do with it."

 

Her companion shuddered. "I remember you mentioning them to me. I tried to forget about that. You think they're going for Equestria?" Priestess only shrugged. "Don't see why. Equestria shouldn't have anything do interest or use to them, last I checked. Anyways, the thing is dead now, the carcass is at Castle Everfree, and we're gonna harvest it's organs & stuff. I'm gonna sample it's chaos venom, which worked wonders on these guys, believe me! I think somepony died back there. Or dissapered. I dunno. Also, I'm making a pelt out of it's skin, I'm gonna take it's venom, marrow & protein glands and use them to synthesize anti-chaos agents. With those, I may find a way to counter and neutralize the effects of chaos defilement, which I'm sure everybody would love and Discord would hate."

 

She looked back to the crew and saw they were on the move. "Looks like we'd better get going to. We can set up a proper place for you to rest once we reach the castle." She put a paw to the back of his neck and held her forehead to his own. "Trust me, no one's gonna get to you," she looked to the saddle crates "or you, while I'm here. C'mon. Let's roll." She started following the herd. Fellow fox in tow.
