open Into Limbo: Worlds Collide

1 hour ago, Kujamih said:

"Ohhh nothing..." The familiar guard said towards Apple Bloom. 

"Then let her through." Blu said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, he set down the scanner he was using to turn towards the guard in question, "Honestly, what is wrong with you guards? Before I came along to save your sorry flanks you were about to get overrun, you are not in a position to be turning away potential allies."

He raised his voice, turning his attention to the greater room, "Don't think I didn't notice the rest of you not helping her either. If any of these creatures don't make it because of your negligence, you'll have me to answer to. And you all saw what I did to the bear."

If the guard still didn't get out of the way, Blu would move to Applebloom, "I need to rest, and I figured it'd be better to try and help while resting than to not. Besides, any opportunity to gather data should be taken full advantage of. But again, I trust you're smarter than the rest of these guards, I have my own deeply selfish reasons for being here, thus I am not a hero. I fully expect that one day in the future I'll be calling in all that is owed me."

He turned his attention back to scanning, "Hospital's already been evacuated by the way, so additional medical care may be hard to come by for a while." He looked about to say something more as he looked at the screen, then snorted, "I'd ask you to take a look at this, but that wouldn't help. I'll describe which bones I assume are broken and you can check if they are by touch or if they're supposed to be that shape. If you know someone who isn't incompetent in here, they can tell me if these organs are the wrong shape or not, to tell if there's any internal bleeding we'd need to watch out for."

@Illiad Easle @Kujamih

Nimbus frowned with disapproval at the guard's needless and strange actions, he was about to ask the guard what he wants but stopped when the same pony he had been shielding from them decided to voice his frustration, that is when he recognize the stallion as the same one brandishing the odd weapon that was used to blast the bear minutes earlier. Nimbus was glad to see him, only a bit taken back by the stallion telling them his true intentions...or rather Apple Bloom.

While he stare at the strange contraption the stallion placed, he listened to his speech carefully. “Sir, I think I can help you with the assistance. I worked as a commander in a flight school academy and had some knowledge about injuries thanks to those medical books I have,” he took a few steps forwards with a slight limping, “I may ask our injured here where the pain come from just in case.”

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Windy Breeze @Illiad Easle

The Guard was a bit concerned and confused as what he'd prioritize.

"Tsk, I wouldn't like to lose your favor." He told Blu and give way.

"I  guess it's a truce then agent... But please distance yourself Abit from the hero... We don't want another one breaking necks again now do we? And let us carry the injured. Your potion is enough help."

 Apple Bloom could only stay quiet and ashamed at the guards come back about breaking someone's neck. 

" Fine..." Her silent reply.

But Blu won't have none of that, and he himself went close to Apple Bloom.

Both the guard and the Blind pony was a bit surprised.

The guard would sigh a bit and let it be, while Apple Bloom was a bit happy.

Nimbus would give his assistance to Blu, as it seems the pony knows medical support.

Apple Bloom would then suggest, 

"Some are already outside, so we should continue aiding them there."

The Guards would then start to guide them where the injured are being taken care off. and there outside, at the entrance of the School, was greeted by hundreds of injured ones.

The guard was taken a back and just now could see how grave the situation they were in.

"Dear Celestia help us..."

The few dozen guards would scramble across the injured and aid as much as they can, but this is too much to handle.

" Prioritize the ones who are in critical!"

" We need first aide here! " 

" We need water here! "

Everyone was in a bind and in panic.

Chaos ensues...

" I guess we got our hooves full..." Apple Bloom said.

Luckily, a few ambulance's rushed in and dropped by.

A few medical teams would be present and is seems to be assisting as well. But one particular pony in that group would catch anyone's attention.

A unicorn mare with a machine suit on her lower half.

And it seems this pony is heading the group's way.

"Sweetie Bell..." Apple Bloom greeted the half android like pony.

In return Sweetie Bell would hug her instead.

" I miss you dearly sister..."

She would then go straight to the point and inform the rest.

" Alpha has ordered support in the vicinity. And it seems the ambassadors of friendship were the target of the ODTs. We will take care of them and transport them to our home base, where it's secure and be easily treated from they're injuries."

One by one the medical team would take the heavily injured and be placed inside the ambulance.

" Don't worry, leave the rest to us." Beta(half android pony.) assured.

(Finally some direct interaction!)

Blu looked Nimbus over as he approached, Nimbus naturally towered over Blu as all adult ponies did, but Blu didn't hold it against him. "Alright. I don't suppose you're familiar with x-rays or a CT scan? Essentially this device lets me see through the skin to see bone and organs, though it can only tell me the shape of them. I need someone more familiar with how they are supposed to be shaped to be sure if they're damaged or not."

Bones would be obvious enough, but unless Nimbus was familiar with CT scans he wouldn't be of much help with organs. Nonetheless, the scans and feedback from Nimbus would strengthen the Kernel's model.

 

Blu would pack up the Kernel and follow the others outside, his weapon ready in case they were ambushed, not able to offer much help in lifting the injured given his smaller size. He wasn't happy that SMILE was stepping in and blaming ODTs for this mess, he hadn't seen any evidence of that, but he was willing to give Beta the benefit of the doubt in regards to them actually providing care to the injured. It wouldn't help their already struggling reputation if any of them died in their care. He'd turn his attention to the remaining wounded, taking the opportunity to get more scans and data for the model, using Nimbus' help if it were still offered.

As they worked Blu would ask, "You don't act like the other guards, you're not from around here are you?"

[Windy Breeze 15,189]

@Illiad Easle @Kujamih

Nimbus was surprised the stallion was small which made him feel giant though he didn't show it, frowning as he is given one very important question “I have no idea how your medical contraption works. We might come across a doctor later who knows what to do, I'm just the stallion who acts as the makeshift medic.”

As they follow the others, Nimbus carries Smolder with the help of Apple Bloom beside the stallion, eyes darting around their surroundings as if expecting a sudden ambush. He is now visibly limping but he did not allow it to become a cumber to his goal. He was however, unable to help the stallion as he is occupied carrying a dragon. Upon receiving an question which confused him, Nimbus replies “I'm not a guard and I'm not a local or from around here. I am from Hoovesshores, a coastal tourist town far away from here.”

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle @Windy Breeze

It seems the conversation between the two didn't go as well as they'd hope, and the atmosphere has gone stagnant. Usually a pony with a disposition the same as pinkie pie would break this stagnation and make the water flow again but this Iffy is still shocked and still confused at the events that has conspired.

 

Meanwhile from the shadows...

~ Silver and Shallow. ~

" Ahh! It's sir Blu and a bunch of guards... Hmmm..." As Shallow ponder and await Silver's decision, She senses more of this  purple creatures lurking in the Everfree forest and the rest spreading like wild fire through the air in Equestria. It was enough to dim the lights in Ponyville.

"..... Well the good news is that they ain't targeting Ponyville no more..... But the rest of the world." She gulped at the end.

For now the purple creatures seems to be avoiding Ponyville and focused on spreading. For now they're safe, but the rest of the world? Not so much...

 

 

[Illiad Easle 3,126]

@Kujamih @Windy Breeze

Blu looked a bit disappointed in Nimbus's first response, but simply sighed as he kept up scanning, calling out what broken bones he could see for the medics to treat. As he scanned more the Kernel would be able to recognize irregularities in organ shapes so towards the end he would be able to identify spots of internal bleeding if any existed.

In regards to Nimbus's second response, Blu raised an eyebrow, "Then I suppose the bigger question is what you're doing here, so far away from home. You come here on purpose? Or did you just... find yourself here?" He said the latter question softly to avoid others listening in, and to make clear that Blu knew something about arriving here accidentally.

 

Blu wasn't paying much attention to those beyond the injured, so he did not notice Shallow or Silver. Once he was done scanning all the wounded and calling out all the injuries he could detect, he would secure the Kernel again and sit to rest.

[Windy Breeze 15,189]

@Illiad Easle @Kujamih

“I simply found myself here after blacking out at the town hospital during a natural calamity event.” He glanced around wearily checking if someone's listening to their conversation, “I found myself in a pond and I had a lot of injuries which I had no idea how I got them. I was taken to the hospital by a mare. It all happened just yesterday.“ he told Blu.

***

Silver is surprised but relieved to find Blu among the group of students and guards. It appears he is preocupied tinkering with some kind of medical machinery while speaking to a brown-maned pegasus.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Windy Breeze @Illiad Easle

It seems that nimbus trust the unicorn that he gave away valuable information about himself which has given Blu more reason to be curious about him. 

 

As the shine from the sun returned, from the swarm that just covered it. A false sense of calm spread to every creature in Ponyville. 

Not long after that, Princess Flurry Heart and her army of royal guards arrived, and started to assist the rest.

While the injured and stressed started to come out of hiding and requesting aid as they exit the school. The one who is leading them is Glory, which Flurry heart noticed. The Guards would aide the rest and guard the entrance to the Everfree forest.

"Quickly guards! We must evacuate everyone to the Castle! The war against this creature has not ended but just begun! Quickly we must regroup and save as much lives as we can!"

Flurry heart would quickly go by Glory's side and aid her as much as she can.

" Are you alright your highness?"

Blu looked a bit more intrigued at Nimbus's response, "It would appear then that we are in similar circumstances, you and I, but we can talk more about it later when things have calmed down. In any case, it would be a good idea to stay nearby, certain ponies here do not take kindly to... outsiders... like ourselves."

He'd leave it at that as he finished securing the Kernel to his back, drawing his weapon again as it seemed the group was preparing to move, he snorted at the appearance of more guards protecting royalty, "Figures they'd only show up once the danger has passed. Had those guards been present from the start we might not have had as many wounded."

Still though, if everyone was moving he aimed not to be left behind.

 

(Feel free to drop in Fuoco whenever you like.)

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle 

Some of the guards would hear Blu's remarks but would just give him a stare and move on.

".... You can be jerk sometimes you know." The familiar guard spoke.

" You know what we've been through right? "

As those words were spoken Blu would remember that the guards did have a hard time quelling the monsters by their own. And seeing the guards right now, they were in a mess.

They're armor filled with battle scars and purple splatter, some of their faces can be seen with tiredness and stress, maybe also one of the reasons why the guards did not care much at what the colt is mumbling.

" I have no idea where you got your energy hero... You can't just say that it's because of youth. Look at me I'm pooped, and I work out and what not... Maybe you are blessed.... Dang... Wish I was blessed so I won't feel the pain tomorrow. " 

The familiar guard would look at Blu once more, as if trying to see something from him.

"Anyway... Maybe you're just a bit cranky right now, and a good rest would put you back in a better mood, right?  Well I better pick up some injured and drag our sorry but back to the castle."

the Guards that where with you started to follow the lead of the princess.

@Kujamih @Illiad Easle

Nimbus knew what Blu meant in the last few words of his dialogue “I was warned yesterday, I can get an idea what you meant.”

As he was walking back to Applebloom, he heard a someone call out to Blu “Blu? I am glad to see you okay!” Looking at the source, he saw a silver unicorn (Silver Chary) approached Blu with a smile of relief in his face, “Me and Shallow went back to the Everfree to look for you, but we got attacked by the same monsters invading Ponyville.” he couldn't make out the stallion had said to Blu as he speaking in a hushed voice. Whoever that stallion is, it seems he knew Blu.

***

Glory and the guard led the students through the helps with the help of guard, some of them brandishing everyday objects now used as makeshift weapons. The Bloodthirst queen was just afraid as everyone else but refrained showing it. Upon seeing the large congregation of ponies, Glory wasted no time allowing the students to go ahead of her. She turned to the aforementioned guard and smiled “You had saved us, thank you. I will never forget this. I am forever in your debt.” in a display of irony, Glory bowed down to him.

She would be approached by Flurry, “It was a scary ordeal we have to go through, but I am alright. How about you, princess?”

( retaining characters in this thread silver.)

(Leaving for the meantime. iffy, Glory, Nimbus and Pan)

~Blu~

As one leaves, a familiar face would great him. It was Silver and Shallow Shade.

" Hmmmm... As expected of sir Blu. You are one tough pony..."

But as soon as both of them got near Blu, he'd notice that there was something quite off about the both of them.

As Blu starts to get the feel of using magic, so too is his senses about it.

You sense the same kind of magic from the purple creatures from them....

But who knows? Maybe he's just tired... 

 

 

~Fuoco Cantabile~

Inside an abandoned building an implosion formed and starts to shine Brightly. As it continues to hold it's form, so too has its intensity of it's energy and brightness builds up until it could not hold and explodes.

There, a new ODT enters the world.

As this fiery mare enters, her vision was a bit impaired. There she notices an injured pegasi leaning against a ruined wall.

Blu wanted to lash back, remind them how he'd been the one who saved them, but held his tongue, he didn't care about their opinion of him. Besides, there were other, more pressing matters, to attend to.

On 2022-07-22 at 6:01 AM, Kujamih said:

It seems their hero worship is only outshines by their worship of royalty. It's only a matter of time before it's abused by one who does not deserve it. No wonder so many fools are in charge.

When it came to the other two who approached, while he was initially relieved to see them he was not so attached as to not notice that they seemed tainted, "We were supposed to meet up at the sanctuary. Still though, I'm happy to see the two of you are still alive."

He'd hold out a hoof if they tried to get within two lengths of him, "Hold up, you seem... tainted somehow. How much exposure have you had to the mist?"

 

(Fuoco)

"-do do doo do, do dah doo do, do dah doo do, do do doo do-"

The fire burning around her gave her little comfort or warmth, neither did the anguished cries of those who threw themselves on her pyre.

"-do do doo do, do dah doo do, do dah doo do, do do doo do-"

The chanting was getting closer, the hoard had already crossed the moat despite her and her mother's efforts to take them out at range. All those affected were repeating the chant, nothing short of a deafening blast would free them from the cycle, other than death.

"-do do doo do, do dah doo do, do dah doo do, do do doo do-"

The walls surrounding the Cantabile estate were already burning thanks to her own efforts, consuming all who tried to climb over, but eventually the pile would be enough to walk over the burning wall.

"-do do doo do, do dah doo do, do dah doo do, do do doo do-"

Plus there was only so much one could do against those who could still fly, yet she played her flute for all she was worth, trying to make her way back into the manor itself as she dodged the bodies and projectiles, taking out as many as she could with her fire. It was hard to see through all the smoke, hard to breath, hard to keep playing, to even keep her eyes open. To focus on her music and not succumb to the chant herself.

"-do do doo do, do dah doo do, do dah doo do, do do doo do-"

They were almost upon her, the chant all around her, she summoned all her strength, ready to take out as many with her as she could.

"-do do doo do, do dah doo do, do dah-"

...

Suddenly, it was quiet, the whole atmosphere seemed to have shifted when she closed her eyes. It was cold, quieter than she'd experienced in several years, she couldn't smell the smoke, the burning bodies, except as it lingered in her coat. She held off on what she thought would be her final note, tentatively opening her eyes to examine her surroundings. They still stung from all the smoke, but it was clear that she wasn't where she used to be. She collapsed to the ground against the nearest wall, she needed a rest after all she'd expended. She carefully stowed her flute away, then she noticed the Pegasus across the room, they seemed to still be breathing, and without the chant they'd unlikely be a threat until they woke up, "Hey..." her voice was raspy from the smoke and exertion, "Are you alright?"

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle @Windy Breeze

~Blu~

SHallow Shade was a bit shocked that Blu has noticed about their infection.

" Ahh!... Ohh.. ummm... We didn't mean to hide it from you... Or I just thought it wasn't of concern... But if you can sense it... Then that just means someone else can sense it too... I think we're in more danger than we think Silver." Shallow worriedly said.

but not a moment too soon, goosebumps would chillingly crawl at Blu's spine. A bad premonition perhaps?

suddenly Blu's shadow would morph and twist then woosh a weird pony figure would come out of it and instantly hug Blu out of no where!

" Did you miss me Blu~!!! I missed you!... Wait where Dusk?" It was Lyra, your supposed crazy Aunt who adopted you.

"Waaa!!! A shadow caster!? And a high leveled one! I didn't even sensed her! Silver we need to run! Blu's a lost cost! There's no way of saving him now!" Shallow cried.

" Lyra! Stop doing that in public! You know regular ponies get shocked or scared half to death when you do that! And you're just gonna make Blu hate you more! Tsk. " Agent Sweetie Drops retorted. 

" I can't help it sweetie! "She replied.

Shallow on the other hand has gone pail on hearing Lyra's name.

"A powerful shadow ca-caster, named L-Lyra? Gulp... Lyra Heartstringer of Shadow!? " Shallow yelped.

".... Don't call me by that name... It ain't cute. " Lyra angrily replied.

" Iiiiipppp! Silver! "

she quickly hid at Silvers back and  hugged him.

" It's hopeless now... It was great while it lasted, but before we say our final farewells.... I wanted you too know that.... I... Lo-" -SMACK!- " AYAAA!!!" Shallow's last words to Silver was quickly interrupted by Lyra smacking her in the head. 

"Now that I got a closer look... If it isn't my wayward student..." Lyra would arm lock her head so she couldn't get away from her.

" Silver!!! Blu!!! Don't forget me!!!" Shallow became frantic and over the top... A sudden change of personality because of this one pony. 

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

~Fuoco~

The pony on the other side of the wall would stand up after hearing Fuoco's voice.

It would slowly limp towards you.

As she nears, Fuoco view of focus on her slowly clears.

She sees a mare pegasi with a shiny red mane and yellowish fur. She seems to be injured as she grits her bloody mouth as she moves towards you.

Fuoco can see her angry face now.

A short tension has occured between the two as they stared at each other's eyes. But the injured mare would collapse to her knees and cough a bit of blood.

"Damn it.... You ODTs are always trouble.."

She would lay beside the wall Fuoco is... And stay silent for a bit.

"You... Pony... You seem to be in a pickle as well... You alright as well?" She asked.

"As for me... your explosion won't be enough to kill me..."

The pegasi would then grab one of her devices and click a button from it. 

"My emergency team would come pick us up in just about an hour. If you can wait for that long then both of us can be treated."

As they waited the mare pegasi would break the silence. 

" What's your name ODT?... Mines Scootaloo..." 

[Illiad Easle 3,126]

@Kujamih

(Fuoco)

(I figure it's fine if we go back and forth on this thread since, so far as I know, Windy isn't involved here.)

Fuoco would back away from the mare as she approached, her expression was similar to those she had recently been fighting, but she relaxed once the mare collapsed and spoke, listening silently to what she said, "Ohdeetee? Explosion? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't do explosions, just fire. I'll be fine, some rest, some water, maybe a nice herbal tea for my throat, and I'll be back to full strength."

She took a seat a safe distance away from Scootaloo, not to be out of her range, but to not singe herself if she needed to light her on fire. "I'm Fuoco, of house Cantabile, the last defenders of Cherrywood."

She sighed, "Though it's probably destroyed now. I was defending my house, ready to... sacrifice myself... but I ended up here before I could. Where are we, might I ask?"

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle 

Scootaloo narrowed her eyes and a hint of confusion and anger is painted on her face. Why did she scoot away from me she wonders.

As she boggles the possibilities their communication with each other continues.

"Where you ask? Not in your world that's for sure." She said while she remained leering at her.

Since they were waiting, she has not much to do but wait for her aid, so she thought that she might as well indulge herself with the other worlder's story.

 

"Your story is quite amusing. I'd like to hear more about it... Since you are quite kind and docile around me I'll share you a bit about myself... It's only fair since you've given me a glimpse in your world.

And I believe it's in your best interest that you learn what's with this world and it's state... Since this is probably where you are gonna end up staying for the rest of your life. Let me just emphasize the word probable...

Anyway.... 

Again

I'm Scootaloo, I'm also known as Alpha in my agency. This world is experiencing a lot of your types who end up getting lost and thrown to our world... It's safe to say that you are one of them and wherever you came from, has a very high chance that it doesn't exist... Or is very different. 

My agency handles your kind.

We label your kind as Other Dimensional Trespassers. ODT for short.

I hunt down trespassers like you."

Scootaloo would focus at Fuoco with a serious look on her face, as if she was observing her reaction to what she has said. 

 

 

[Illiad Easle 3,126]

@Kujamih

Scootaloo, or Alpha, 's continued anger/frustration as displayed on her face did little to assuage Fuoco's worries that she would prove a threat, given the contempt Alpha apparently had for creatures like she had apparently been grouped with, Fuoco wondered if the only reason she herself hadn't been attacked yet was due to Alpha's injuries.

She didn't know if she could trust Alpha in regards to their location, but she didn't appear to be lying, or have reason to lie. Regardless, she doubted there was much left to go back to anyway.

She raised an eyebrow when Alpha said there was a very high chance that where she came from didn't exist, she existed after all, that surely had to count for something? She was evidence that her world did exist. Maybe this was some sort of afterlife? Had she really been so bad as to deserve this though?

Her expression grew more concerned when Alpha said that she intended to hunt her, causing Fuoco to back up further, "Hunt down trespassers like me? What, like some wild animal? Word like that make me think that it's not in my best interest to be here when your 'team' gets here, lest they decide to 'hunt' me too."

Fuoco stood up, still obviously weak and tired from her previous exertions. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't leave right now, because if you intend to hurt me I'm not going to just lie down and take it."

There was a tremble to her, she was obviously scared, her fear overriding for the moment her exhaustion. She had plenty of experience with ponies out of their minds wishing her harm, but this appeared to be a perfectly sane pony wishing her ill for nothing more than existing without permission.

Fuoco would look around the structure, both for ways to exit as well as things she could burn if it came to it.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

Alpha starts to relax and retain a calm expression on her face now.

She would reply. 

"... That depends on the animal we capture..... If you are harmful we either lock you up or worse... If you are docile and cooperative, a better fate awaits you than the latter. Then again you could always run, but I highly don't recommend that... An ODT just caused a wide spread infection throughout Equestria. The world as we speak is in total Chaos..."

She looks at her again.

" You know... Ahmm... ODTs, we don't know why you end up here in our world, but it always happens when they're about to die that they get transferred here or is in a critical moment. And once transferred here.... Bad things happens... Usually the ODTs are Evil or devious, but even if they aren't.... They bare a curse that follows them... A curse that affects the world... So we don't really have a choice but to hunt you down. "

A tear would drip down on one of her cheeks as her final words were released.

" ... Must be really getting tired" she said as she wipes the tears away.

" I've learned this lesson the hard way... And would swore to never again fall pray to you ODT... But here I am... Still trying to prove to my young naive self... That maybe this will be different. I really want my youth back."

Her eyes seems to be dimming away and starting to get pale.

" Leave... And take to heart what I just said. I think I need to sleep now. "

 

[Illiad Easle 3,126]

@Kujamih

As much as Fuoco wanted to distrust Alpha, she could not find any deception in her words, it wouldn't be right to leave her here where other, potentially dangerous, creatures could finish her off.

She sighed, and sat a bit closer to Alpha, "Just, hold on, alright?"

She took a deep steadying breath and pulled out her flute, playing a soft, quiet tune that she hadn't had the chance or need to play in a long time. It wasn't healing magic per-se, more of a reinvigoration spell that provided the body with the energy necessary to repair and replenish itself. It wasn't fast acting either, but thirty minutes of the song would be enough to ensure Alpha was stable, if not already on the mend. Back home it would have been more effective, and Fuoco noticed that, as she played, it felt harder to focus, like the magic field were stiffer than usual.

She would stop if anything happened, one wrong note or loss of focus while playing could just as easily light Alpha on fire from within, or at least singe her, and she wasn't going to risk it.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

Alpha's consciousness slowly returns as the flute playing distracts her from her sleep, and keeps on invigorating her. As the music ends, her

Curiosity on her ways of magic sparks. She asks Fuoco About it, 

"... You play beautifully. Tell me... I think I know what you've brought upon our world, tell me did you do that magic? Or was it the flute? " 

[Illiad Easle 3,126]

@Kujamih

Fuoco smiled only slightly at the compliment, "Thank you, and you're welcome." She raised an eyebrow at the question, "What do you mean? Of course that was me, it wouldn't be a very useful instrument if it could only do the one effect."

She stowed the flute away and took a seat, "Is it strange that I would have magic?"

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

" yes... Specially the way you cast it..."

Alpha ponders while staring at you.. as if she is trying to find something within you.

"... Hey... Sorry... At first I was planning to kill you off." She'd look away for a bit.

" But  now my doubts are clear... At first you were disrupting my magic when you came to existence and disturbed my hunt. When I got near the stronger the disruption it caused, making my magic cast upon myself haywire and damaging my body. I thought you were doing it on purpose, but as soon as I got near you, I was sure you weren't doing it on purpose... I actually dug my own grave when I got near you and couldn't move anymore... I wanted you to leave so I wouldn't die... But instead you healed me. What's weird is you magic shouldn't be enough to heal me or stop the curse. But it seems when my body got introduced to your magic I got used to it. I guess your curse is that anyone gets close to you, they get introduced to you magics rules. Hence changing the rules on how they use the magic... Causing a haywire, or misfire."

She'd laugh a bit.

"That was careless of me. To think my years of hunting of ODTs would've made me learn to be careful... But what's weird is this world seems to have not hindered you in some way? " She pondered.

" Either it dosn't affect you, or you're quite a powerful pony to begin with... I might've underestimated you... Which might've been my down fall."

She'd look down and sigh for a bit.
