Lost nodded, glad he could be of help. "Alright, I think I can handle that. It should be far less draining if two of us are casting the wards. So how exactly does the spell work?" 

 

You're not still thinking about... you are aren't you?

 

I'm just helping out a friend. There's nothing wrong with that.

 

Are you? You know you can't bring Her back. Just forget about it and move on. This is pathetic.

 

It has nothing to do with...Her.

 

Yes it does. It always does. You're always helplessly drawn to anyone who reminds you of Her.

Clover explained. "It works by raising a sort of invisible shield around a certain space, in this case, the campsite. Should anything attack, they'd bounce off the ward and the ward would make a noise to alert us. Of course, repeated attacks would break thru the wards but before that would happen, we'd be up and able to launch a counter attack against whatever threatened us."

 

She then explained in detail how to cast the spell.

Lost nodded. Having studied magic for years, he had learned to gain a basic grasp of how to cast a spell fairly quickly. "Alright. I think I can do that. How about you start casting from here and go clockwise, and I'll go counterclockwise, and we'll meet up in the middle? That should get the job done pretty quickly."

Crimson stared suspiciously at the border of the village, "for some reason, I'm feeling a strange sensation from this little village...celestia and sanura were right, this town really is cursed...I just hope that we can break or lift it somhow, before sompony gets hurt..." thought crimson as he sat quitely next to sanura.

"Good idea," Clover replied with a smile. She then went off in a clockwise direction to start casting the wards.

Sanura shivered involuntarily as she looked at the borders of the village. When Crimson sat down next to her, she said, "I really hope we can do something about this evil village. I can just feel the total wrongness of it, even just sitting here."

Crimson nodded in agreement, "I feel it too, this place just radiats with a sense of total fear and sorrow...whoever or whatever did this to this village must be either pretty angry or pretty crazy...if were unlucky, it'll be both..." said crimson seriously as he stared at the border of the village with suspicion.

Lost nodded and began casting the wards going counterclockwise. It was a bit difficult the first few times, adjusting to a new spell, but it was pretty easy to cast once he got the hang of it. As he went along, he began to worry about what would happen in the village. They said the village would show you your greatest fear. Was he going to have to face...Her? Would he be able to handle it if he did?

Turning to the others, she said, "What do you think?"

 

@@Alex Kennedy,

 

Clover was thinking along the same lines as Lost as she performed the protection spells her side. Cept in her case, she already knew what her worst fear was. It went back to when she was a filly, searching for her cutie mark, and she'd come accross a strange village in the Everfree. Not this one, but one which was also under a curse. The fact that she and her friends had solved the mystery and fixed the curse was probably why Celestia had called her in the first place. But what she feared was the zombie ponies who appeared with darkness in the other village, Sunny Town. She shivered.

Ooc: That's alright, I was just being paranoid.

 

"That's all, I think," Clover replied to Lost. "I left a gap my side for the others to get in. When they return from their scouting mission, I'll close the gap in the wards after they go inside. Then we'll be safe for the night from anything dangerous in the Forest."

Clover shivered a little, as if somepony had walked over her grave. "Something about that village gives me the creeps," she confessed. "I think it's cuz I already know just what I'm going to see; something that happened to me back when I was only a filly, and I've never forgotten it."

Lost Knowledge sighed. "I know what you mean. I'm trying to kid myself into thinking I could see anything in there, but really, I know what it's going to be.  And it's a part of my past that I don't think I'm ready to face yet. I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for that. But I guess I'll have to try."

Quick Shot nodded once and then stalked to the edge of the camp and sat down, watching the night.

 

Speed Blast yawned very catlike and laid down. "Probably some demon or demonette that he pissed off and now wants bloody revenge, eh?" He grinned.
