"It seems you do not use your Royal Canterlot voice anymore?" she answered somewhat coyly, looking over at Steel.

 

"I wish to speak with you privately Luna. Make haste if you will." Aine spoke clearly. Anger hid behind her words and vengeance behind even that.

Steel gripped his blade he still wasn't sure about what was happening he slid out the dagger slowly with out getting noticed he only planned to use it if he had to

Astrid could tell steel was uneasy so she tried to look into her mind (( I'll leave it up to you is she can or not and what she finds hair remember she can see memories and read all thoughts even ones you don't realize you are having ))

She glared down at Astrid, furious that a little filly was trying to read her mind. Aine bristled up to give Astrid a taste of her own medicine but luckily she stopped and turned away. All Astrid managed to hear was a small thought belonging to the real Whisper <Please don't hurt Astrid, she's my friend. She's only scared for her father!> before any hope of connection was blocked.

 

She kept her fiery green eyes locked on Luna.

[dashian500 194]

Astrid sighed wishing it would have worked but since she was being blocked she knew that it had something to hide and with the anger that came from it almost getting exposed told her it was something big she told Luna what happened via mental link

Then she tried again using every bit of power she had ((if she gets past the block she'll get her cutie mark Just saying

Luna straightened even more and willed away any of the leftover blush on her face, she spoke more formally now that she knew this was indeed Aine, "I'm afraid the Canterlot voice and Royal We are no longer appreciated and as you can plainly she I am hardly a princess anymore. You could say my wings have been clipped," her voice was devoid of humor, "if you think I have grown you should have seen me as a full alicorn, I was often told that I was quite the sight to behold. Though I could say the same to your current form, it is quite less splendid than I remember..." She was moving now to Aine's side to walk with her away from the others.

 

She sent a message mental to Steel, 'this is Aine, she's one of the Wytch Deities, you remember your fight with the vagabond? She has power like that, it would be best if we can avoid conflict... If it cannot be avoided I will call for you, bring everyone you can, Embers sword or Grell's death magic may benefit us.'

 

As they walked away from the others, Luna spoke cutting to the point, "I can't say that you are looking well Aine."

[dashian500 194]

Steel sighed -oaky but if things even start to look bad I want you to let me know-steel said he realized that grell wasn't anywhere to be seen "Astrid find grell" steel said

Astrid didn't hear steel she was to focused on trying to get into aines head she was doin everything she could

"Nor do I feel well" she answered curtly.

 

"I have been away for thousands of years,  called back by the destruction of my Sanctuary and summoned onto this plane by your Elder sister's magic." She tilted her head slightly so light could gleam off the small sliver of sun shard. "Your sister swore she would protect my Sanctuary.  Not only do I come back to it devastated but I find my only surviving vessel endangered. " Aine radiated frustration,  small cracks forming underneath her hooves as she walked.

 

"I wish for answers Princess.  Not conflict."

Embers slowly got to his feet, using his sword as a cane he looked over at luna with a laugh and shook his head "Well, I guess that went better then expected" He glanced down at his sword with a laugh "Well, thank you, I now feel that I got payback for cheating at a simple game"

[dashian500 194]

Astrid kept trying to get in aines head using all her magical abilities and every drop of concentration she was trying to bully her way into aines head ((hopefully it works so I can give Astrid her cutie mark if not it's cool I'll just have to find another way))

[Sanctified Absence 126]

"What kind of group are you?" Shadow could've laughed, but kept a deadly cold expression on his face. "I can't see Luna about a bracer because she's too busy speaking to some aspect of... Whatever kind of magic, Embers supposedly has a sword that can speak and this one doesn't know when to stop pushing her magic," his patience had worn too thin to be bothered with these ponies, no sense in them whatsoever as far as he was concerned.

 

His attention turned to the Sunshard that was bonded to his arm. You only melded to me when I tried to steal your magic, are you enchanted or... Is there something beyond being a magical rock that you're hiding? He made his way to the other side of a clearing from the group, staying in sight but looking at the bracer all the way.

(Yeah sorry I wasn't able to respond in a timely fashion to you yesterday, Luna's last guard/now first boyfriend was dying and now a deity wants a discussion with her, she has a lot going on right now haha)

 

The sun shard sensed that Shadow was talking to it now though it didn't his understand words, it decided maybe it should try and communicate with him. It made pictures in his mind, a pony that looked like shadow was going in and out of focus (you are unclear), then the same pony clad in ancient looking armor changing from offensive to defensive stances (uncertainty of your intentions), and gave of a general sense of confusion. (The sun shards are so old they speak only in images, associations and emotions)

Luna felt the blood drain from her face, "I'm sorry Aine, I hadn't realized it had been so bad for your subjects... To be honest, with the significant loss of my own subjects, I forgot about most other races and our agreements with them."

 

In her next sentence her voice was as hard as iron, "that's not to say I did not care for all races as much as I could, I put myself to exhaustion to strength the moon to give light for sight and some heat to keep the world warm. As for my sisters magic drawing you back to this plane, it was no longer her magic at that point. My sister, Princess Celestia has passed and her death was not a peaceful one, her magic became wild."

[dashian500 194]

Steel was waiting in case aine tried anything he put Astrid on the ground and did a handstand and out one of his forelegs behind his back and began doing one legged push-ups ((best way I can describe what he's doing I hope you understand if not I'm sorry to confuse you

[CrimsonWeb 786]

Embers got to his feet and glanced over at steel with a happy smile "Well steel, no thanks for me saving you? I guess I should thank you, grell wouldnt even try" He said with a shake of his head "Just sat there shooting me, not caring if you were dieing" He said with a sigh

[dashian500 194]

Steel looked at embers "I didn't want to disturb you while you talked to the sword and seeing as you're done now thank you embers I should trust you more often" steel said as he did vertical one armed push-ups he was starting to sweat now he looked at embers

"As so was our World born in a Great explosion of Light..." Aine spoke slowly. 

 

"You have my deepest condolences for your sisters passing and hold no fear that I do not think you suitable Luna. I was one of the few who pleaded for Celestia to reconsider banishment." she stopped at a cliff overhand and looked over what once was beautiful plains. Sadly she spoke "I must admit...not even I can see the Light. All my subjects are dead except for 2 and a meddling pony."

Aine had underestimated Astrid. Though it had been Aine's voice and spirit, the mind and body still belonged to Whisper. Somehow the fillies effort pushed through a barrier and Astrid's mind was flooded with images. Images of ancient times and true castles, a younger Celestia and a much smaller Luna. The amount and speed of information was heavily blasting into her young mind. She had cracked open thousands of years worth of memories.

[dashian500 194]

Astrid smiled as she completed her quest and upon her flank a physic eye appeared she didn't notice she was to busy working on what was gliding her mind she stopped the flow and began to look at hero at recent thoughts and plans

Luna sent a mental message to Steel, 'there will be no conflict here, take Embers, Lightwing, and find Grell; with them go find a ship that will fit our group but is not too large. We need to depart for the Griffin Kingdom we have already been here too long.'

 

To Aine, Luna said, "there is always light Aine... As long as any life remains, as long as one still exists to remember your teachings. If I remember you are a deity of nature and life, when this night and cold is over and we begin to rebuild many of the survivors will turn to you for hope and bounty. Many will hold you in great regard, and even 2 subject is enough to start again and make many."

Wanderlust sighed, he hated when he felt powerless and he found he felt powerless more and more often lately... Except when he called on the nature magic, and he hated that even more knowing it came from the addiction Luna had spoken of before.

 

He decided to do something he could help with without needing tremendous power. He looked at Willow, "well, I guess if we're in this city then we need to get to the griffin kingdom. Lets see if we can go find a ship."

Embers looked over at luna and sighed, wondering what she was thinking to steel. He glanced over at lightwing with a half smile, due to him still having a huge cut in the middle of his chest. He grinned down at his sword "You know, I must say, you are most likely the best sword ever"

[dashian500 194]

Steel stopped mid push-up -alright I'll see you soon love- steel thought back righted himself "embers light wing Luna wants us to find grell" steel said as he began walking off "and after we find grell we are to locate a ship large enough for us but not to big"

Famine gave a little laugh and let Embers feel how happy the complement made her feel, she even started to heal the wound a little faster and less painfully. Though what she said was snide and prideful, 's-s-silly pony, you say that-t like I didn't already know i-it, in all the world there's only three o-other weapons that-t could compare to me! B-but none of them-m are as much fun as I am-m!'

 

She seemed to focus on Steel's words, 's-so Grell is that serious acting-g death pony? He's too uptight-t we should help him l-learn to laugh more or just annoy the h-horseshoes off him-m.' She gave another evil little giggle.

Grells coat was blacker then wet velvet and his irises where crimson but glowing he finished the pentagram and wiped the blood off his wrist without bothering to stem the flow as he worked his wrist kept bleeding he walked into the center of the pentagram

So... You are sentient, or at least nearly there. Shadow was taken back by the images it forced into his mind, it appears that this thing was more attached to him than on a mere physical level.

 

He wondered to himself if it could see his thoughts too, as well as why it reacted to him in such a manner. Your form of communication is beyond simple speech I see. He had very little idea as to ow this thing could work, if it could read his mind it would likely see a mix of curiosity and equal confusion.

The sun shard sensed the curiosity and confusion from Shadow. It decided that he was probably not an enemy like the Diamond Dog that had been stealing it's magic earlier, so it eased the burning heat around his leg to a soothing warmth. His thoughts were once again in words and the shard still couldn't understand, it assumed that was where the stallions confusion was stemming from.

 

So it tried to help explain, it sent images again; this time it showed the stallion that looked like Shadow and the stallion opened it's mouth and words spilled forth, it picked words at random not knowing there meanings, as the words spilling out they were dark and inky. The darkness spread as more words came forth until nothing could be seen at all.

 

Then it started over, the stallion opened it's mouth and actual things spilled forth: trees, bushes, animals, clouds; they spread out around him glowing and building a background, with each image from his mouth the image in shadows head became more detailed, realistic and complete as a picture.

 

It sent him back emotions of curiosity and hopefulness as it waited to see if Shadow could understand and communicate back to it.

[Sanctified Absence 126]

He pondered this for quite a while, so obsessed with his curiosity that he completely forgot slowly fading pain. Maybe you... Can't understand me? He thought that perhaps an apology was an order, as this was likely why it melded itself to his forehoof, but could it read his thoughts like he could see its?

 

Concentrating hard, Shadow created an image of a black pony touching a shard, the shard flinched away and appeared to be trembling, before the pony backed away and bowed it's head to the shard, as if apologizing. He had absolutely no idea if the shard would understand, but had to try.

[CrimsonWeb 786]

Embers laughed as he looked down at his sword with a smile as some of the pain weekend. He was still feeling how baddly it must have hurt for steel, but he was happy to take the pain for cheating in such a simple game to win. He glanced over at the sword "What other swords are there?"
