Pavisa and Zintiik

 

At the risk of giving the two prisoners the impression that he actually had feelings, Zintiik leans over to gently nuzzle Willow when she speaks up to defend Orion.  He didn't like hearing them talk about the unicorn in that way either, but he knew it had to be even worse for Willow.  "Being a monster isn't as bad as it sounds, really.  Monster is just another word for different, after all."  The changeling briefly glances at Kingfisher and Pavisa to hiss at both of them, not appreciating having them upset Willow.

 

Still trying to help out with whatever Kingfisher was trying to accomplish, Pavisa just snorts.  "If he really wanted to protect you, he wouldn't rely on a book.  The Litany is a crutch, like any weapon the worth comes from the pony holding it.  He reached for a battle axe when the situation called for a shield, and now he's going to cut somepony's head off with it by accident."  Rolling her eyes Pavisa huffs and sits down, her burns aching yet still unwilling to take healing from this group of ponies.  She turns her head to stare at Kingfisher for a moment, wondering what the mare was hoping to accomplish with all of this.

Mirror Image stared at the back of Denarius as he passed by. What was that about? Hadn't they already discussed this? Whatever, Denarius could be dealt with later. For now she would just listen to the others and rest. At the mention of the mare's friend being turned to stone, Mirror's ears flattened against her head. It explained why she had acted so....terrified of the spell. Shifting uncomfortably Mirror pondered whether or not she should apologize to the Mirror...well it was obvious that she should, but the question was whether or not Kingfisher would even care. It seemed like a good idea to wait for her to calm down a bit more. Mirror finished off her half of the pepper before reaching for another one. All the while , she tried to ignore Scribbler's affections.

Scribbler left his pack next to Mirror, standing up again. He glanced to her with a slight sadness, he realized he'd messed up with her, but there wasn't anything he could seem to do to make her happy at the moment. He felt terribly about it, and the only thing he could think to do now was work to clear their passage while she rested. She hadn't had the chance to until now. He sighed, and gazed to Pavisa. "I am sure Orion has no idea what he's done.. He hasn't seemed to realize his error yet, and I am not certain he ever will. Though his intention was noble enough.. He has indeed taken hold of something he does not require, nopony needs that kind of power." He said, looking somewhat pained, thinking of the damage that had been done already. He knew he needed to get to Orion, and began working again, picking the plate of armour up and swinging it through the sparks, moving further into the tunnel. "If he is a swinging axe, then I shall be the shield that stops him.. I will not let him destroy anything further if I can help it. I do not wish for this to go any farther than it already has." Scribbler attempted to make his point known. He was not against these two, even if they weren't ready to help them. The very least Scribbler hoped to attain was an understanding from these two, that they weren't so different. Their goals were much the same, and neither he, nor the ex-guard, or the Pirate wanted Orion to continue what he was doing. The feeling seemed mutual among Scribbler's group as well. Even Orion's own sister had questioned why he needed the book so badly on a frequent basis. The time had come to put a stop to Orion's plans, and it had become glaringly obvious with recent events, that the time for this was running out. Scribbler charged up his horn, drawing as many of the sparks as he could together, and forced the steel plate through them, clearing the tunnel completely, at least as far as he could see.

"Are you even listening to me?"

 

Kingfisher was starting to feel panic welling up inside of her now that the path ahead was clear. She had hoped to sway them - at least away from the mad pony if not entirely to her own point if view. It seemed that they were too stubborn for that though - or they were trying to hard to impress his little sister.

 

Unbound, she took a step backwards - glancing about in the twilight glow of the crystals to try and catch a glimpse of her weapon.

 

"He was past saving when we found him! He can't control the book - it's taken over him, and the more you try to help, the more it winds itself around his mind."

 

Was that it, over in the distance? Buck! Too far to snatch up without noticing - and the unicorns were perceptive enough to catch on if she bolted for it... and words weren't exactly her strong point.

 

What wouldn't she give to have Bardic here...

 

"You can't bring him to his senses - he doesn't have them any more! Do you really think that you can protect yourselves if he turns on you?" She glared at the group ahead of her. "Dont go after him. You'll get yourselves killed for nothing!"

"Thank you! Finally, someone who sees reason..." Pouted the outsider as she flitted forward once towards the front of the party and began to trot ahead: credit where it was due, these bodies did seem well suited to moving quickly on the ground. That, and perhaps not all the ponies were as stupid as she thought - there did seem to be occasional glimpses of intelligence from some of them.

The distorted sounds were getting closer - the black auras were beginning to creep down the halls - not that she expected the ponies to be able to see. Best not to worry them unduly - they would make better shields if they were unaware. Of course, that was the worst case scenario - with a little luck, they would buck up and avoid the danger entirely.

 

...

 

A snarl echoed from up ahead - quiet, but load enough that the ponies might hear it. The ones that weren't bickering anyway. Like a wolf, but twisted - distorted and otherworldly. Stalker's were fairly nasty creatures anyway - but here, where she wanted to use as little if her reserves as possible, and had ponies for backup? She hoped that it was only a small pack.

Frost trotted up past the rest of the group until he was beside Aegis, he still had questions to ask. Frost hesitated a moment before looking over to the stallion. "So...hey um Aegis? So we don't have a plan as to how to get them out? I'm..I'm not even sure where they took them, or if we will have to fight this Orion guy." He stammered, slowly realizing that his voice was filled with fear. "I-It's just I think we should get things solid before making any rash decisions all." He said, the same tone of fear was present and noticeable.

Aegis thought for a moment.  “I’m not one for rash decisions myself, but I don’t have a definite plan yet, either. I need more information on Orion’s group before I can do some real work. And sometimes a plan can be too solid. If anything goes wrong, I need to be able to think of something else quickly-Do you guys hear something?

Frost lowered his head slightly, "Well I guess a plan being to solid is a bad idea, but how are we going to gain anymore information on Orion's group when he have noth-" his sentence was cut short by the angry growling sounds, he wasn't sure if he had been hearing things, but once Aegis pointed it out he knew it was real. He drew his bow and a single arrow from his quiver slowly and drew back slightly faster, scanning the landscape around them. "Whatever it was it didn't sound to happy, and I think it was about us." He said trying to calm himself.

Zintiik hisses at Kingfisher again, and before he knew what he was doing the loyal changeling had launched himself towards the two mares. With the buzz of his wings giving him away, Pavisa glances towards him in time to see it coming and steps between the bug and Kingfisher.

 

Zintiik's fangs clinked harmlessly against the armour around Pavisa's leg. After standing locked together like that for a moment the changeling quickly launches himself backwards, hovering in midair and staring at the two prisoners.

 

"Stop it! I won't let you talk about Orion like that! He's my friend, he won't betray us!" Zintiik still refused to believe that Orion had been the one to hurt him with the electric spark before. Flying backwards to stubbornly land next to Willow again, he keeps his glare on Kingfisher and Pavisa.

Ronin heard what sounded like a pack of wolves... snarling, hungry wolves. "Maybe scouting ahead was worth my time after all, it's been a few hours since I've had a good fight." He said to himself, before drawing his blade and waiting. The beasts sounded close, almost right around the bend. With a combination of curiosity and caution he looked around the corner...

A pair of eyes watched with an unprecedented animal intelligence - the stalker flitted along the ceiling of the tunnel and paused - it's dark, unmoving body clinging to the shadows to remain unseen. The aura of the pony was weak - barely a meal for one, let alone a whole pack - but there was little else in this desolate landscape.

 

The rest of the pack materialised behind it: all watching - statuesque and concealed against the shadows as they clung to the ceiling. Elongated, crescent moon claws clutching their tips into the hewn rock - cutting into it.

 

The first lunged - experimentally. It wouldn't do for a pack to attack in force: not against an unknown target. The most nimble went first to assess its strength - flitting through the air to snap savagely at the pony as it appeared from its right side.

ronin hissed a curse and tried to jump to the side as he was attacked, but he only had a few inches between him and the wall and ended up against it. Whatever ambushed him had managed to give him a decent cut near his back on his right side. As he slammed into the wall he turned and slashed at his attacker quickly and skirted away from the wall. He knew from experience that having your back against the wall in battle was usually a bad thing. He looked around carefully for his opponents but only saw one, the one that had attacked him, but he could hear more in the shadows. They seemed to preffer attacking from the shadows, so With annother curse he made sure to stay in the most well lit area possible and prepared for their next attack.

“Why now of all times…? This…This isn’t how it’s supposed to go!” Noble said, the stress of the situation hitting him full force now that he had time to think about it. His mask lay on the table as he started to freak out.

Denarius let out a huff of derision at Kingfisher's and Scribbler's little conversation. Moving out of the way, he let the hovering piece of armour begin clearing the remaining sparks within the hallway. Watching as Scribbler dropped his sack of food upon the stone floor, he scampered over grabbing a piece of produce from the bag. Denarius bit into the ripe produce, it tasted oddly both sweet and savoury to him. Merely tantalizing the senses, and only beginning to sate his hunger. Unaware of how empty his stomach had felt amidst this confusion, he quickly finished off the last few chunks of the food in a miserly manner trying to bask himself in whatever small trace of enjoyment that arose from such a normally banal thing.

 

Looking back up, it seemed the others still were babbling continuously about the condition of Orion's mind. Zintiik was clearly blinded by some frivolous concept of loyalty towards an unstable unicorn who had already harmed him. Whilst Kingfisher and Scribbler would likely be arguing until everypony here was nothing more than a pile of bones upon the floor. Denarius groaned, this state of inactivity bothered him. "You know both of you are arguing about somepony who's doing Luna knows what, while we sit performing little more than idle chatter. Wouldn't it be a little bit more wise to know what's occurring them focussing on minute details". He advanced forward, and gently shoved Scribbler  out of the way. He scowled at both Kingfisher and Pavisa as he simultaneous raised his brow at them, slightly confused with their inflexible attitude. "You both act as if you're the only 'captives' here. By your own standards, I'm then a prisoner to. I've not been conscripted, and am currently trapped here due to a minor aberration of chance". He paused momentarily shaking his head in a manner of seemingly uncaring disapproval, and began lowering his body towards a more casual posture. "Where we differ is that I saw an opportunity for my own survival when I arrived. You saw only confinement. Furthermore, you both continually fail to notice that are goals are similar enough....._{for now}. If any of us are misguided in are trust show them, if or when, we find Orion". He regained his posture as he walked back towards Scribbler's bag as gladly took another piece of produce from it. It felt discomforting for him to try and be the voice of reason, yet such a aura of tenseness emanated from everypony here that nothing else would of been applicable. Rolling his eyes, Denarius took a bite into the plump carrot currently held within his hoof.

Scribbler listened with disdain to the babbling coming from Denarius once again about how little they were doing. He trotted by him, pressing Pavisa's armour plate into the front of him with a slight force, enough to get his attention. "Then perhaps next time you can do all the clearing, and give your words some weight, Denarius. While we babble and argue, and do nothing." He spoke with annoyance in his voice, feeling rather insulted, having been the one to be their main diplomatic figure between the two mares, as well as the one who had cleared the hall for the group. He moved back to his saddlebag, and lifted it back onto himself. Once he had it secure, he moved back towards the other two, where Mirror stood, holding the pirate's weapon. He felt slightly nervous about her offering the blade back to these two, they hadn't shown much trust in their group, and Zintiik and Denarius hadn't made it any easier to gain their trust. "We plan to move on now, if you two should wish to come, you may. But I warn you, Orion is still powerful, even without the Litany's full power. If we do find him.. I will try to reason with him alone. He has trusted me before, and I am confident I can do it again if I must. But I will not put any of you at risk for this task. For that reason, I will use a force wall once we find him, to prevent him from getting to you, locking him in until he is dealt with. If I must.." His voice lowered so that only Mirror and the other two could hear. "I will end this.. even if it means destroying us both." He said, with complete seriousness.
