Scribbler chuckled at Denarius' remark. Madness? It was beginning to feel that way. His mind was beginning to give way to a bitterness he hadn't felt in years. He was feeling drained, and could collapse any moment. He was about to reply to Denarius, before he pressed on and left him with his words unsaid. Zintiik thanked him, something he did not expect. He chuckled at his remark, lifted his goggles and replied. "I don't believe I could turn down any form of help at this point, Zintiik. There is not much left of me here to resist even if I didn't like it.. I truly need rest." He continued on, following Orion, his light flickering, straining to stay alight.

Clockwork looked around, his stomach still churning. He felt the worst had been rejected back on the road behind them, thankfully. But now he would be left hungry once again once the nausea wore off. Pavisa seemed to be delusional, something was truly wrong with the mare, though it was anypony's guess as to what the cause of it was. "I've had just about enough of this wretched adventure." He muttered as he laid down upon a dry, flat rock surface.

Still staring at one of the nearest portals, rifts, or whatever he was supposed to call them, Stahl nods his head slightly.  The city was going to panic, that was inevitable.  He tears his gaze away from the rift to look at Emerald, briefly acknowledging that she wasn't hiding under the cloak anymore, but now wasn't the time for one of his usual comments.

 

"We should try to direct the civilians towards the castle district - to hell with what the council says, right now it's the most secure area in the city.  The bulk of the guard is there - they may be largely incompetent when it comes to daily affairs, but they do train us to handle emergencies.  Besides, the presence of guards nearby could calm nerves that are likely going crazy right about now."

The changeling turns to look at Scribbler again, chuckling quietly.  "Don't be so eager for my methods of help, Goggles...  I'm not even certain cocooning would help a pony.  For all I know, it might make it worse."  Shrugging slightly and turning his head to make sure Willow still looked at least somewhat comfortable on his back, he then turns his attention back to the path in front of them.  It didn't seem like the changeling was planning on explaining what he had meant.

Midnight had begun to grow tired of this constant arguing, and apparently so was everypony else. Even Crimson and Amethyst had tried to calm down the argument, though neither on met with success, and now Ronin was taking the drastic approach and swallowing his pride, much to Midnight's relief. "Hey Amethyst, I hope you don't mind but I was wondering if maybe you would be willing to help us out, regardless of what Shadow decides. As I said earlier I am more than prepared to pay for these services in just about any way you'd request, so long as it's within reason of course. And if you do agree to help, I would like to ask if you could maybe teach me a few things about this Arcana place you mentioned and maybe even some of that magic of yours. If you did I would be very grateful." Midnight asked Amethyst. At this point he didn't really care a whole lot what happened with Shadow, so long as they had the help of one of these entities he would be content, though Midnight would be first to admit that Amethyst if far more tolerable that Shadow. Midnight also hoped she would agree to teaching him about the world Amethyst had come from and the powers she had, power like this was rare to come by in this world and if he could attain even a fraction of this power he might be a match for his eldest brother. Then he could go home and settle things with his family and finally find his own path in life.

Frost stood and looked at his group of "friends", if he could even call them that, he hadn't even known them a week and he was already feeling like he was going to die with them, it was a strange feeling, like he despised them for tangling him into this mess, but an adventure was what he wanted in the first place wasn't it? He just shook his head. I have to show these ponies I mean business, that I can help, my attitude needs to change, soon... he thought to himself as he went to sit next to a familiar stallion. He sat and didn't make eye contact. "Your Clockwork right? I feel like we've talked before, but not so much. I'm Frost, Frost Typhoon." He said with a small bow of his head. "So tell me, what exactly is your...or our groups plan from here?" He asked as he lit another cigarette.

Scribbler raised a brow, the thought of what Zintiik had said sparked curiosity, though the uncertainty of the bug that it would even help wasn't reassuring in his condition. He chuckled thinking of it though. "Cocooning eh? I didn't mean to sound eager, I merely meant I haven't much choice in options. More than anything though, I just need time to sleep.. We've been going all day, and for me, I've exerted more than my share of energy, in my condition." He said, glancing around the dim corridor. His eyes fell upon Mirror, she'd been silent for some time. He spoke softly to her. "How are you feeling? You've been so quiet since we left that chasm behind us."

Clockwork Green

@@Frosty V,

 

As Frost sat down next to Clockwork, he could feel the stabbing sensation returning again. It wasn't about to just vanish, not that quickly. He found it difficult to concentrate on what Frost said, but tried his best, attempting to stay seemingly stronger than he was. "Frost.. I don't believe we have exchanged words yet, but it is a pleasure to meet you." He said, forcing himself to cease from vomiting again. "As for a plan, I'm afraid, there is no real plan as far as I am aware. Just.. surviving is the main thing as of now."

Frost smiled before his face went straight again, the thought of surviving always hit him like a train, he was always fooled into believing adventures were like the ones in stories he was told as a foal, but now, knowing the true dangers let him see how wrong he really was. He turned his gaze back to Clockwork and sported a half smile.

 

"Your right, survival is our number one thing to worry about at the moment." He said, taking a drag from his cigarette. Frost looked Clockwork over a little more carefully and raised an eyebrow. "Hey...you alright? You don't look so good Clockwork." He stated in a concerned tone

"Yes...I'm fine. Well as fine as once can be given the circumstances. What about you? Are you holding up, alright?" Mirror asked, she sounded concerned even to herself. It had been awhile since she drank that water, perhaps she would be fine if she cast a simple spell? "You should take a break...your light barely makes a difference anyway." Before he could respond Mirror cast her own light spell. The moment she did so she felt her stomach lurch. Almost as if she were about to throw up. At least she didn't explode and it was only uncomfortable not painful. So there was that.

Clockwork Green

@@Frosty V,

 

Clockwork looked up at Frost from where he lay. He could see the concern in the pony's face suddenly, now that he'd taken the time to really look. It was as if he'd been in some other world inside his head until now, as if the whole ordeal hadn't sunk in until now. Clockwork paused on his response, thinking this. "No, I am not.. I am suffering a severe form of food poisoning right now.. And anypony else who ate in that cabin likely will be as well." Clockwork smelled the scent of burning tobacco, something he hadn't taken part in for some time, though right now seemed like it would be a really good idea. What else was there to lose? "Would you mind if I borrowed a smoke off you, Frosty.. I feel as though that may calm my stomach. If we ever make it to the Crystal Kingdom, I'll buy us both celebration cigars." He grinned.

Scribbler smiled weakly, he knew saying he felt alright would be a lie. He was more than exhausted, but was forced to continue. "I've been better." A response that seemed most fitting. Suddenly Mirror took over, drowning his own light out, he let his own fade and felt relief. He was running on fumes now, and Mirror had taken the load, what little it was. To Scribbler, it was as if the weight of ten ponies was lifted from his shoulders. "Thank you Mirror. It's such a simple spell.. Normally it wouldn't even be a thought to cast it." He began to sound melancholy. Not knowing weather or not he'd be given the chance to recover was weighing heavily on him. He couldn't keep this up forever, and he wasn't sure if Orion would bother to wait for him again.

 Icarus sat down away from the group, put still well within sight and hearing distance. He opened his medical bag and went through it, making sure nothing was damaged, and that if it was, it would be repairable. To his surprise, the only thing that was damaged was his spellbook, probably from getting snow on it and then melting. Though a few of the spells were critical, it was unlikely they were damaged. He opened the book and began searching for a way to help his comrades.

Frost looked down at the Clockwork, his face becoming less concerned looking as he figured out why exactly the stallion was in this state. At the mention of the food from the cabin, Frost felt his stomach turn. "Great, I might get food poisoning, I downed that stir fry, if that is the food you are referring to." He said with a slight chuckle. He saw Clockwork sniff, then eye his cigarette. When he asked for one Frost couldn't help but hesitate. He only had three left not including the one currently in his mouth. He looked at his pack, he smiled after a moment and pulled one out, handing it to Clockwork. "Here, you need it more than I do. Oh, and this." He said, handing Clockwork his lighter as well. "I hope your a stallion of your word. I would kill for a cigar right now." He laughed softly

Quiet Stallion @Shaymin,    The stallion laughed alongside Aphrodite, apparently amused by her words as well, and his tone carries a trace of pleasant amusement as well. "Yeah you really don't have to worry about feeling left out and don't worry about the questions either, in fact your enthusiasm is kinda cute. Anyways training depends on what you do, nowadays most train for guard duty. When the 'Royal Guard' decided that the outer districts weren't worthy of their protection Strings started to train us in guard techniques, their really strange but they make sense and they work most of the time so i cant complain."

Quiet Stallion (Colors)

@, 

 

After screaming and panic becomes audible from the outside one of the ponies from the table outside comes ripping downstairs, nearly tripping on his own hooves. The quiet stallion moves to the side and looks around in confusion for a few moments before speaking up in a different voice then the one he'd been using the whole time. "What the heck is going on now?!?" Moments after the same stallion comes running back up the stairs and a grey mare with a dark blue mane follows shortly after and stops in front of the quiet stallion. "Ice what the heck just happened and whats Strings' plan of action?" The mare looks at suspiciously Aphrodite for a moment before sighing and responding in a tired tone. "Cut the crap Colors i need you to be Strings while i'm gone, negotiations with the militia just became a little more important so with this all happening i need to be in two places. Get the civilians down into the caverns and try to calm them down, those rifts don't look as friendly as they used to and i don't want to take any chances..." She then looks at Aphrodite for a moment and addresses her for a few moments. "If Colors brought you here then you must be here for a job, congratulations you are now Strings' second guard. I'll see about everything else later once this all settles down..."

 

The tired mare then teleports to another location, apparently having found the pony she was looking for, and 'Colors' sighs and changes his coat and mane colors to match Strings' appearance... His body shape is the exact same as well so its unlikely that anypony would know that it wasn't Strings. After altering his appearance he looks at Aphrodite in an exasperated manner and his voice sounds echoes it. "Well then... Congratulations i suppose you got a very well paid position of some importance..... Your not going to rat me out are you cause that would just complete this moment to an all time worse for me... And i'm pretty sure that i now have allot to do and would really appreciate some help here."

Just as she was preparing to flit away and leave Shadow to deal with the ponies (or hopefully let them all 'deal' with each other), The one called Midnight - who insisted on naming her - made a suggestion than was just too 'out there' to ignore.

 

"Teach...?" She echoed in her wickedly joyous tone. "You want me to teach you... arcane magic? Real magic?"

 

Of course, she had seen his thirst for knowledge and power but this? This was something else! Impossible! Unthinkable! But... daring, very daring. That was the thing with these ponies: between senseless bravado and suicidal overconfidence there was some minute detail that had ensured their survival for admittedly a decent length if time. Some small detail to be admired - however slight.

 

"Well I was planning on watching the end of the world - but I suppose I could try and teach you some lore while we wait..."

 

She paused - glancing over towards her companion pointedly for several seconds.

 

"Okay! Here are my conditions! One, stop calling me a demon. Two, stop making demands of me." She thought for another moment, smirked, and with a sudden bust of light caused an image of an eye inside a circle of unusual runes to be inscribed in the air between them. It was the same which had been carved into the top of the lockbox.

 

"Three! Any magical trinkets we find with this symbol on them are to be given to me - no questions asked."

 

Her demands stated and - in her eyes at any rate - extremely reasonable, she flitted through the air above them - dispersing all of her spells into a cloud of purple light. Most of this proceeded to return to the outsider - adding to the aura she seemed to cast - whilst the rest dispersed into the world around them.

 

"In return, I'll help try and salvage what's left of your world... and maybe educate you a little in the process..."

Blast lied down on the ground after talking to Pavisa, nearly motionless. He coughed up a little bit of blood, too. He never had an adventure take as big of a toll on him as this one has. He looked up at Kingfisher, half conscious.

 

"Heh, I'm fine, Kingfisher..." Blast said weakly, coughing up a bit more blood. "I just need to stop and take a little rest is all... then, I'll be back up on my hooves." In actuality, Blast was anything but alright. He couldn't believe it, but for once in his life, he was totally worn out. He just wanted to go back home to Ponyville and rest...

"Fine. I accept those terms." He said, losing the grin.

Midnight couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as Amethyst listed off her terms. "I think all of those are very reasonable terms, so I gladly accept. Thanks to you, we might be able to save our world." Midnight said. Out of the three terms that Amethyst had stated, the only one that Midnight felt really concerned him was the mention of other relics emblazoned with that same magic eye as the lock box. If there were other trinkets with that symbol on them, then it was reasonable to assume that they likely belonged to Amethyst to begin with, but that didn't stop Midnight's curiosity. And all this also begged the question, what was inside the other lock box? Through all this Midnight had made sure to not lose track of the music note lock box, because if the magic eye one had been so helpful then it stands to reason that the music note is helpful as well. Sadly he won't be able to answer that question until they reach the Crystal Empire where he can make a replica of the key and open the box. But for now, surviving the trip was far more important than worrying about a broken key.

Pavisa's horn starts to glow again with a soft light, barely detectable, but it starts to give off a soothing healing aura.  It wasn't exactly strong - far from an actual spell, more as though the magic in her horn was reacting to her emotions.  It would be strongest for those closer to her, but the members of the party close enough to see the glow would start to feel a soothing effect.  The stomach pains, as well as physical wounds, would start to feel less painful.  Not actual healing, but more like the wounds and sickness would feel lessened.

A guttural, hyena like cackle echoed down from the rooftops above.

 

Gangly and unworldly - stretched almost - the creature stalked in circles around the gathering of ponies. It sunk low and assessed them before flitting around the edge for a better view: its limbs propelling it with a haste that should have been impossible. It's body was unnaturally thin - hooked claws extended from the base of each of its four spindly legs and a razor edged younger hung hungrily from its mouth - which sported nothing more than four large fangs. The rest of the best was obscured by a curious, shifting light that seemed to cover its body.

 

Some of the ponies left and the opportunity presented itself - it lunged.

 

Dropping from the edge of the building and flitting towards its target - a female with an unusually powerful aura for a pony. Misjudging the amount of energy required to cover the distance in this strange world, it felt its jaws snap shut on the open air mere inches away from its intended prey.

To kill the backstabbing bastard and finally enforce peace of Equestria...

 

Somewhere up ahead was the dull murmur of voices echoing throughout the caverns - distorted by the twists and turns and sheer distance - he wasn't certain if they were even real - might they be their own echoes? Or even inside his own head? He didn't know. The further they delved, the more well build the place became - lights eventually augmenting the glow from Mirrors horn as a number of crystals began to appear lining the stone - casting a far too faint glow around them. The ground evened out into a hoof - build path from the hewn stone they had been walking on. This place was ancient, but it had been built to last.

 

"Stay alert - we're getting close. If the Litany is nearby then we do t know what kind of guardians it might have..."

 

But the hollow feeling remained - as if these tunnels simply couldn't hold the tension that they should be: there was nothing. No creatures moved - no traps sprung... there wasn't even any evidence of an effect on their magic. The defences seemed... dead.

A grunt and a thud later made her pause, reluctantly opening her eyes to see that the Earth Pony guards had speared it through the chest and pushed it to the ground. Noble was at her side in an instant, drawing his sword in case the creature got up again.
