@@Charcoal Embers, "Really? Why doesn't everyone have a phoenix then hmm? Ever heard of their healing properties of their tears? The immense loads they can carry? Their..." *Thumb* a small crate fell upon him in his head delivered by the phoenix himself. The fiery bird had grabbed it while they were talking and tossed it on top of Terra making a precise strike at the back of his head enough to render him unconsious.

 

"Oh good... i survived..." was the only thing he managed to say before he fell down in front of the mare. Fenix was both a bit angry about what Terra had said but he knew in heart that he would never do that. He also knew that Terra had to shut up... and a legitimate reason for him to do so had to be given. So he... improvised along with a small dose of revenge. After that he flew away... he could track Terra back but first... he had to make sure he'd survive when he returned.

 

((OOC:Feel free to do whatever you wish while he's unconsious))

Charcoal sighed as she stared at the unconscious form of the pony before her. He was definitly something, but she didn't really know what to make of him right away. She sat down beside him and closed her eyes as she concentrated hard on reading his mind and figuring out about him. She touched his head to make things a bit easier for her as she began talking to him in his mind.

 

((Immagine it like a void he is floating in where there is a voice talking to him.))

Jaeger gave a slow nod and looked up from the map to his two companions before flipping his hood back up over his head. "Alright, sounds like we've sorted things out, what's say we go ahead to the sewers." he said with a blank look as he walked to the exit and waited for the other two to join him. Should I really trust my life with these ponies, that has blown up in my face before... he thought, looking away from the ponies and at his own hooves.

There's always at least one stallion who thinks that they stand a chance against me. Especially if they can't stand the thought of being beaten by a mare.

The Sandpony

Apparently this pony doesn't take too fondly of the demons' voice...The Sandpony gave less than hardly of any recognition, or at least it seem such. With a tired breath through his mask in response he proceeded forward looking at the split in the tunnels and survey them both expertly, absorbing all and any detail that would assist them in the direction at which they should proceed.

(he's a tracker pony Thundy, so give me something to bite on haha XD) 

 

Manechilles

The city continued to frustrate Manechilles as he stomped along, ignoring now the fearful onlookers that cowered away. "Infidelic insects...this vexes me..." he mumbled to himself as he marched down the streets, "Was I sent here on no accord?"

The entire room was talking to each other concerning theories and conundrums and how this could have happened when the door opened, revealing the secretary. "The Lord Inquisitor is coming..." The others looked at him oddly and all conversation faded away, to be replaced with absolute silence as an old, grey stallion leaning on a staff with a red crystal on it walked in. You noticed that, where he walked, dark energy seemed to be left behind, leaving a trail of black that stretched out a few feet behind him. Closing his eyes and taking a breath, he walked over to the chamber. "Well, then, I received some of the most conflicting reports concerning this." He opened the door- which some of the other scientists flinched at- and helped you out of the experimentation room. "Alright now, son. Mind starting by telling me who you are and where you come from?"

Jacob looks up ate the older pony and stares for a moment before starting to laugh. "Ok. This is all just a dream. I must've used up more energy then I thought trying to cast that spell then I thought. I'm probably unconscious in my lab on the floor and this is just a bad dream." He turns around for a moment, trying to get a hang of walking around on four legs, quite unsuccessfully, and falls on his face, almost banging his head, but his horn catches him before he lands completely head first. He gets up and rubs his head, finding his horn and stopping. "Wha-! Am I a unicorn? What the Ausul? Osos Malkey gelaar daar wah zey kir!" Jacob slips back in to that strange language he was speaking in previously before slowing down and taking a breath. Turning around, he walks over to the High Inquisitor, "Alright. I'll humor you. I'm Jacob the Lionhearted. I'm from a land called Tamriel. I'm...well, I'm a lot of things. The most important thing that you'll find interesting is that where I'm from, I'm an Arch Wizard. I'm the head of a school that teaches magic to beings that possess the aptitude and ability to use it. We show them the correct way to use magic so they don't hurt others or themselves in their negligence. How I got here? Best theory is this. I was practicing a teleportation spell that would allow me to travel from my home country of Skyrim to an associates house on an island called Solstheim. I thought I had it mastered, so I cast it. Next thing I know, I'm waking up on that ponies lab bench...as a pony." He stops to scratch his head with a hoof and jumps upon encountering his horn again. Muttering something about horns and unicorns and ponies, he gets up and stumbles in a circle, getting better at walking on four legs, but still obviously new at it. "How did I become a pony anyways? I didn't cast a transformation spell. And why is everyone here a pony?" Swearing under his breath, you only barely catch him saying "Vik nii.Zu'u laan wah gaav bodein wah dii kiim."

@@Charcoal Embers, Terra found himself amongst the darkness, probably dreaming as he assumed. He felt tired... and a bit numb. As the realization that he got hit settled in a voice was speaking to him.

"Ugh... who the hell is it? What do you want? Leave me alone..."

In the meantime Fenix arrived at Terra's smithy. Flying through a windown hole that was made just for him. Looking around he found on a pony mannequin a set of golden armor and a special jewel upon it an enchanted ruby with a star shaped metal around it. The armor was made to look gold but in truth it was adamantium together with illithium alloy rare metals he spent half a lifetime getting. There was also a warhammer with a similar jewel upon it's hilt bottom. There was a leather noose upon it that was tied to a shield. Fenix pecked the jewels which resulted in the items shrinking. Now easier to drag around Fenix put them on a bag and held the bag with his beak. His master would need these if things got out of hoof...

Caprisha chuckled and downed her second drink and ordered a second one. "You are totally right. Though now I don't know if you love your son or if you still have regrets for having him. Maybe I could get a bit of clarification?" Caprisha asked as she leaned closer, expecting an answer.

Sanura walked towards the entrance that they had planned to use, her mind full of the task ahead. She knew full well that they could not hope to remain undetected for long, however, she had plenty of weapons to hoof in her saddlebags should that moment arrive when somepony attacked. She hoped that the others were similarly prepared.

@@Charcoal Embers, There was a brilliant light amongst the void, something that came from a living being. While the mare was talking to Terra, Fenix took it's time and descended upon him waking him up with his brilliance and heat. Being half bat-pony Terra had inherited a tendency to wake up quicker, to stay up longer and get tired less. What came after the light was an armored pony top to bottom a true knight with armor, shield and hammer.

"Excuse me for this. It's how little Fenix right here tends to wake me up."

The phoenix cast it's glance upon the mare in front angry a bit at what she'd done to it's master. Terra however did not do anything aggressive just yet and held himself in a respectable distance. Like a true knight he would abide by the laws of peace and amnesty before acting... he had a feeling this meeting wasn't gonna end well. He had that hunch from his demon-hunting days before that evil was close...

"While your actions against me are justified your threats were not. However while i answered your question i have some questions as well... "what" are you? I have wronged you... but you have given me reason to to do so. Plus... You "stink", you stink of evil... and i have caught that scent on my travels a lot."
