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."

 

 

cresent bowed at the princess accepting her statement. He now noticed how frazeld he really was from the day, should he keep with this group or go in the tree and rest for the night? he decided to keep going knowing most of them need help to see in the dark

 

When the princess left he stood on his fours again looking back at the dragonicis "sorry its kind of instinct still for me if anything dangerous gos after the princess..." he said kind of lamely

The only reason that Last didn't slice towards the paw that grasped for her blade were that it wouldn't serve a purpose. She hated when other beings took her blade, as that left her defenceless in some senses, but Princess Luna had given her words, that it were okay with Missklang grasping for her, so she let go of the grip she had and let him play his little games, then grasping the handle with her teeth again when it was thrown her way before putting it back in the scabbard.

 

This was the sort of thing that did that she was interested in getting either a magical blade or some enchantments on the one she had now, whatever would prove most effective for the cost. Normal blades like this were ineffectual against some beings like this, where magical weaponry on the other hoof... Effective in more than one way against regular opponents, and could likely inflict some actual damage to this one.

 

Not that it would have stopped her. ineffectual or not, she wouldn't have hesitated to take a swing if - or perhaps when - Missklang would do something that was against Princess Luna, and not just a seemingly joking behaviour.

 

"You act like a Night Guard Crescent, minus the tacky uniform. Been one of those before?"

 

It interested her to know a bit more about Crescent now as he had also gone into protector mode, although he hadn't had the same restraints that she had. Now that Princess Luna had left - Last had bowed towards her in the last moments - she had the time to ask things like this, and for the time being no further reason to be after Missklang. Long as he didn't take her blade again or start to destroy things, he could play around however he wanted.

 

The playing around is what caught the eye of Vivd though. Well, beyond the newcomer which had been the first reason she had turned around. For the time being though, she wandered over towards them both, starting with a comment towards Missklang before moving onwards to the new face.

 

"Missklang, yes? You seem able to control the chaos well, but exactly How well can you do so? Do you know how to find order in the chaos and weave it into stable creation if you had the raw energy to work with? I have an... Agreement, with Charlie that would require your assistance if you have even a minor idea of how to do that. It will help me, help him."

 

Briar hesitantly wandered over towards Charlie, Priestess and the newcomer after trying to find meaning in all that had happened. It wasn't easy, but he thought he got the gist of it for now, and frankly it seemed as if that was the best he could hope for for the time being.

 

So instead, he focused on what he could and wandered over to greet what felt like another of Priestess' kind. Form wise anyway..

 

"A friend of Priestess it seems. Briar Trapjaw at your service sir, it's a pleasure to meet you."

 

When he had gotten near enough he had addressed the hidden Changeling, which was a fact that he had no idea about. For all he knew, this was simply a friend of Priestess, and for that fact alone he had approached him with a bow, and a friendly, toothy grin.

 

Vivid addressed the pair too shortly after, but not in the same way as Briar. Her interest were more towards Priestess specifically when she heard that they were planning to get going.

 

"You can leave, but Charlie will stay here. He still needs to direct us through the dreams before we wake up, and especially if he wants our deal to happen with any degree of haste."

 

It wouldn't be a bother to force him to stay all things considered. She were a soul harvester, she knew well how to tear a soul away, and Charlie was exactly that: A soul. There were the living, and the dream apparations if her and BRiar, but Charlie were, for all purposes sake, a loose soul. And though she needed her physical body to tap into her demonic energy properly, the soul magic were carved into every ounce of her being long before she even got a whiff of demons, and that included her dreams. Just not often that mattered in a setting such as this since a pony's consciousness didn't carry their soul into the dream lands.

Omen stops looking up after a few minutes and closes the portals again whilst Ziggy gets done getting her mane under control again. It might be short,  but the bad fall had left her looking like she'd just woken up, and that looked a bit silly in her eyes so she figured since the others were silent, she might as well.

 

Though the universe had been challenged, it didn't seem like anypony popped in out of nowhere, or the sound of a camera interrupted them to let know that somepony had even immortalized the whole thing. For a bit, there was just silence, until Ziggy got bored and started to talk.

 

"It was seven kinds of weird in there, but fun. Many questions though."

 

"We're curious. It's why we agree to serve, or help others traverse our home in exchange for stories or experiences."

 

"Huh, so That's why they were so curious about where I came from. Anyway, it's still early'ish in the night, anypony wanna go and do something?"

 

She looked between then both, then snickered as a thought entered her head. It wasn't much of a thought really, but it just sounded fun in the moment as it went "A Half-Zebra, a Siren and a Shadow-thing wanders into a bar...", though she didn't know how to finish it if it was. Coming up with jokes wasn't her strongest side.

"Chaos is a curious mixture of destruction and creation. Much as it can make anything be, it can also remove nearly anything, and most users of this school focus on either creation or destruction. Few are those who, such as Discord, have a certain amount of harmony in things. An order in the chaos if you will.

 

You seem confident you can do this, though when the time comes I better teach you a few things about the sort of creation I need. Even if you sound like a relatively stable chaos user, making something and weaving creation into a subject is not the same. Much like what the spider did when it replaced it's leg, it's a special angle that you might find a use for another time. You never know when you, or something you care about might loose an extremity after all."

 

It was the issue with chaos, that it was so unpredictable. Some would use it simply to remove everything, whilst others would be able to create with ease, yet not have an easy time removing it. Finding the balance in that was what she meant was order in chaos, as it meant you could control what you had made, and she needed both a little destruction and a little creation for this. Or well, she didn't Need destruction, but it would help disposing of some... Unfortunate by-product energies this sort of thing tended to make sometimes.

 

With pure creation, that could be an issue, and depending on things the fragments of life, creation, soul, and general parts could result in a creature being made from that. A violent creature more often than not, as anything with only fragments of a soul tended to be in enough pain to go feral, and when it was made from spare parts... Well, Chimeras were a prime example of what leaving scaps from creation could result in.

 

In any case, she reached a hoof towards Missklang to help him up if it were needed. She wasn't entirely sure how objects from dream and reality clashing would react with eachother, but considering they had hit the cart before, she'd presume that living beings could also interact with them as if they were physical.

Vivid got close and examined the cube a little. She wasn't touching it, but the eyes could tell many things too after all.

 

"Impressive. Perhaps that cube can be of some use if it turns out my share of the chaos venom and some of the web doesn't contain enough energy in the end."

 

She wandered closer, past the cube and whispered into Missklang's ear, not wanting to share her deal with everypony just yet.

 

"As for your question, Charlie wants a body. So I need you to weave the parts I gather and prepare together, using the creation aspect of your magic to make it one and have the life energy provided flow through and settle whilst I stitch body and soul together."

 

Pure creation could do it potentially, yes, but some magic had the misshap of stopping working is the caster did, or needing a constant magic flow to stay in the shape. Whilst she couldn't guarantee that Charlie would not end up with a fluent form of some kind just yet, having the parts in advance meant that the creation would enhance what was there and make it work no matter the state of the caster.

 

It was not a pleasant thing to gather for. if she had to get things freshly, and she did not have a potentially willing core of life to draw energy from, it would be a trade off. Life for life, and she doubted Charlie would be much in for that. Her solution now were more elegant, but it would still require some... Moral flexibility so to speak, but she would cover that when Charlie met her *friend* soon. It was better to wait with that until it was too late for him to get cold hooves.

"Friends? I wouldn't go that far. We all met today. Acquaintances is as far as I put it. I'm a firm believer you have to be a bit more effort involved with one another to be considered friends. Cause having friends is something I take seriously. As you should very well know." 

 

"Oh I'm aware. I'm just saying you would have more if you lowered your requirements. But I don't fault you for that.

"No, you can't just put a normal heart in the chest, but what I deal with are not normal, and the magic used to prepare it aren't either. I can get him a fully functioning heart, and if the quality is like I remember from my... *Associate*, and the infusion done right, he might enjoy more than a few centuries as a living creature."

 

Infusing a cube and putting him inside a ragdoll of a body was easy. It was akin to simply tearing a soul from a functional body and then put an infused object around the neck of the empty husk. it worked, but it was not an actual life. You could not breathe, eat or sleep right, and neither could you pass on your genes if a mare caught your eye. You would basically be like the drawing Missklang had shown, but squishy.

 

But she had made a deal for a true body for Charlie, and she would keep her word. He would have a fully functioning body with no mechanical parts or vessel within a vessel to control for him like he was a puppeteer, and it would be done soon. So long as her associate still lived that were, but she doubted he had met his end yet. He simply had too many backup plans to have such a thing happen to him anymore.

 

Before leaning back again and stopping her whispering, Vivid added a last part towards Missklang, still not wanting everypony to listen in to what she were telling just yet.

 

"He will chose his own shape when time comes, but let me give you some insight: To bind a soul isn't what I intend to do. I stitch the very core of his being together with the soul, not something as simple as the heart. I have mended and torn enough souls to know what gives the better result in the long run."

 

With that she were done, and eaned backwards. Though over at Briar, he felt as if things were both about to begin and end at the same time as Priestess and her companion seemed to be ready to move onwards, though introductions had only been made.

 

"It is a fair point. Friends should be chosen with some care amongst those you meet, as friends are not just those who have spoken with you for a time, but somepony that you can trust and confide in., or come to for aid in a dire time. Perhaps the time will come where I can count myself amongst those for you, Priestess, but time will tell that. And really, being an acquaintance is a good place to start for anypony.

 

It is unfortunate that our time here seems to be short so that I cannot get to know you a bit better Shaman, but we all have things to do after all it seems. Yet who knows? Perhaps when I wake up and rejoin the group, you will still be in the vicinity and have some spare time."

 

He would assume that as soon as Charlie was ready they would make their own way onwards again, so he would not have the time to bond either, yet he did hope that he would meet with Shaman again. Priestess had been quite the pleasure to speak with, and a friend of hers would more than likely be so as well.

 

Over at Crescent, Last nodded whilst he turned around and addressed somepony else. She was gonna ask something more on this later, but right now it didn't seem the time to go dig more into it. They'd have more time later on more than likely.

"I can make no guarantees. We will see if he haves parts of that kind of some that are susceptible to manipulation, though if it is your want, then this cube Missklang have made could prove more valuable in the process than I had thought."

Oh, and when we do meet, do me a favour: Keep the cube away from me until our work begins. I don't want to be anywhere near a source of harmonic magic for too long if I can help it."

 

Harmony and Holy, the two schools of magic that demons, and those associated with enough of their energy, were weak towards. The harmonic part may seem odd to some, and it was not a widely known fact unless you had ever actively hunted demons or planned to do so, but the serene nature of that school were harmful like a slow poison. The longer she'd be exposed, the more it would affect her.

 

It was fine here, as this was simply a dream of her, but her actual body wherein the demonic energy had seeped in so long ago? Yes, that would be another story entirely.

 

"In any case, we should begin to get going. Charlie, I would advise you to brace yourself."

 

A whispy glow went over Vivid's eyes as she started to chant in a low voice, gathering her focus around Charlie and doing a minor thing with his spirit. That is, if you considered a spell to tear him from the branch and end to her side being minor, yet it was for her as she had more powerful options to work with to sever to odd connection that had drawn Charlie to the branch.

 

It might be that the spell she was working on now had no effect other than pull in him, but if she had to take harsher ways in use, she would do so afterwards. This was just the least painful step after all.

"You don't seem all that bad to me" he said with a shrug "as for my name... yeah, sorry I didn't tell it to you sooner. I have a bad habit of forgetting to introduce myself" he admitted. "My full name is Sole Heart, but you can call me Sole. As for where I got my training, that's a bit more complicated. I've had several teachers" he explained quickly.

 

"But enough about me" he said suddenly, changing the subject "where did you learn how to fight?"

The glow in Vivid's eyes faded and she stopped her spells. So not even a pull then? Interesting. Usually she could gather a soul from any place, and that they were plants should not make a noticeable difference. That is, unless perhaps...

 

"...This is your afterlife."

 

A curious, yet somewhat knowing tone had snuck into her voice when she started to talk. She wasn't entirely sure that she was right, but generally speaking, this sort of thing had happened before, and though it was another species and another realm of existence, it could still end up being for the same reason she couldn't do anything.

 

"I've heard about things like this before, but I didn't think it was actually going to prove true. Yet I suppose if this really Is considered their afterlife, it stands to reason..."

 

She seemed to be talking to herself and not looking at anypony in particular whilst speaking before giving a small shake of her head.

 

"Nevermind, I can test the stories and my theory later. in any case, if we can sever the link by having you leave we should get a move on. We need to get things prepared, and if what I think is true there's gonna be a hurdle to surpass soon I need to think on how to get over. Though I hopefully they're right Charlie, and it's just because you are, in essence, a plant."

 

She was leaving something out, that much was obvious to anypony listening to her, but she wasn't ready to speak up on what she was thinking just yet. If it was nothing she were not going to give Charlie a reason to panic, and if it were, she needed to do a few things he was better off not knowing about before he couldn't stop her anymore. She knew how to test it too, but it required her to be awake, so for now it was best just to bottle things in for her and then see if it would be the road with spikes or the one with rocks they'd have to wander to get to the goal in the end.

"Oh is that right?" Shaman said after Crescent responded to Priestess. "Yeah, she does have a problem with shadowing. I'd say ti was her being shy, but her ego pretty much lays that claim dead." 

 

"Hey bruh, it's called reconnaissance." she on so mater of factly replied. "I wasn't going to introduce myself until I had everything scouted out. Plus, I got to wait int he wings in case there was an ambush. Most of them are still alive, so it obviously worked out." 

 

"Admit it, you just wanted to set up a grand entrance. And you like stalking. Such a voyeur Priestess." 

 

"And why can I not do all of those things? Seriously, aim for grander things bruh!" She said as she waved a paw across the air. 

 

 

Priestess then heard Charlies comments. "Well duh. I did say- 

 

"Meet my Bae, my dudeski, my bruh in arms, my partner in crime, my mate, my-" 

didn't I?" she then jumped up a little and nuzzled Shamans face as she came down. "That automatically implies a few things." 

 

Shaman enjoyed that display of affection... in more ways than one.

Seamore was now well ahead of the rest, in fact he was right in front of the portal. "I'll see you on the other side, and don't worry, you shouldn't need the Everwood to get through." With that, he passed through the portal into a large room in the castle, on the ground floor. As he pulled the cart through, the Everspirits separated from the logs and floated away, into Luna's beautiful sky.

 

When Priestess nuzzled Shaman's face, Charlie couldn't help but partially ponify, then hug Shaman. "This is awkward, isn't it?" he asked while still hugging Shaman as the front half of a translucent pony, attached to a stick, that was going through a fox.
