@@Stardust*, Gold Star Tuner entered the hall filled with student and spotted, the Headmaster on a seat. He had met him a few days earlier in an interview for post of magical artefact history teacher. Being new to the teaching world and not having mastered this particular discipline, gold thought that he would have not got the job. But the fact that the subject was also wide and undetermined could have helped. Maybe a little bit of fresh air was needed. With his spherical fish-tank balanced on his back Gold made his way to the grey pony. " Hello headmaster Greyhoof. I apologies, being this late is not a good way to start the year. it's really nice to see you again, I hope my fist impression will be forgotten quickly, I can be more odd than usual to other when I face something new, it's my way to deal with the stress." Thankfully for him the jokes he made that day were so bad and complicated that it just passed for a bit more of weirdness. "If you don't mind me asking could I get a schedule and a plan of the school to reduce avoid organisation failure like today"

@@Blique, Thank you very much for this critique, there was something about the eyes that annoyed me. so this is the final version I guess. Can I really say that I'm finally done?

"Well it's a sore subject but I didn't told you how my soul is still tied to my body without magic so I can't blame you" "if it's actually a shard and we are still sane after that you can do what you want with it and even try to find the element but don't even try to include me in this madness without a good reason." Gold re read a bit of the notes trying to remember what he knew of the shards " From what I have gathered the shards are indeed tangible but I suppose they differ in shape and power like, this power is not evil but incredibly overwhelming so it could affect the psyche of people by drawing somethings they don't want out of them. it could explain what the orb did to me. but we are not sure it's a shard. I could check with the lens but it was broken"

Gold head slowly turned to Madness his eyes widened in incredulity. " You did not just say that?" @@Script Dangles, He looked to professor Mirror, with a little glint hope in his eyes: "He did not just say that? Please. Tell me he did not just say that." The last part sounded more like a fact more than a request

@@reader8363, @@Script Dangles, Still a bit shaky for the experience with the orb Gold ended the glare contest between the two ponies in front of him. " I do not care if he stay but we have to keep that away from the students" He shot a wary glace to the orb "if it's what I think we will have much more problem". he began to walk to the door " Follow me to my classroom I'll while we walk" "You might have noticed that I'm weird in a magical sense. Maybe a bit in a normal sense too but that's beside the point. Three years ago my soul lost it's magical link with Equestria, I've been able to stay stable by some other means that I would like not to reveal. The thing is that I'm practically unaffected by alteration magic. My body can take hit and be hurt by magic, although with difficulty, but a sleep spell will do nothing. And with the reaction I had with the sphere I can safely say that it was not just magic but something much deeper. Something that can affect the soul directly. It could be helped by magic, however the fact remains that is something unusual. So unusual that I only know one other object that could do it: the Null element ." He entered his classroom and began to riffle through papers. "I'm not and historian per se. First I'm a scientist, specialized in magic, second I was a sort of adventurer. On one of my expedition in an old temple, I came by a room. A perfectly conserved room with inside only a safe, a letter and an lens that could make you see things that even magic could not pick up. The letter explained to me that I had to open the safe, but I did so because I was ecstatic. The safe was incredibly complex, and of a craftsmanship that was old but gather so many concepts that we could not fathom in our current advancement. It was intemporal by definition. I could not understand why or how it was there, I HAD to open it." Gold finally stopped to gather the papers, and walked to them. " After month of mind twisting enigmas and surreal locks, I was finally able to see what was inside. A levitating green stone was what greeted me. I began to study it and slowly loose myself to it." G.s passed them some notes. OCC: i don't own this it's from the game The Room. "These are the only memories I had from this period" "I must have found something because I triggered a mechanism inside the element. I was thrown threw a portal into an other room. I deduced that it was in another time and place that the element was linked to because to escape I had to resolve an other set of enigmas only to be send to another room, and another, and another, and another..." "II could not eat because I didn't have to. I could not sleep because I didn't need to. I could not age because I wasn't even allowed. Even death would not allow me to rest . I was sent through time and space to follow the voyage of the element, and wherever and whenever I went, I only found desolation and corruption." "The element is not dangerous just incredibly powerful and the souls of ponies can't withstand it" "I finally extracted myself by losing my link with magic, but I came to a conclusion. The element couldn't have done everything alone, shards of it must be spread through time and space. that's why I'm so afraid of the orb..."

Gold approached the sphere, watching carefully his steps, completely mesmerized by the sphere. " I felt it before..." He muttered "But … Where?..." G.S slowly brought a hoof next to the sphere, the movement so slow that you could believe he was immobile. " It's like in... " He whispered struggling to talk as if the sphere didn't allowed him to talk. The sphere distorted itself, pulsating, wanting to close the gap between the hoof. As the artefact grew closer to the fur a low humming could be heard. Gold began to shiver, in his eyes a blood red symbol flashed for a fraction of second it was an half finished hexagon with three diagonals. Gold quickly backed away " NO! No! no...." He picked up his tank-fish and hugged it tightly like it was the only thing that kept him from fading away. "It's not the same, it's not the same, it's not the same, it's not the same... You are not in the Room." He looked at the sphere again fear in his eyes but the object was standing still like nothing happened, just the ominous feeling remained. Gold breathed deeply a few times and said loudly "I don't know what it is, but I know it's essence." He got up on his hooves "Let's hope it's not a shard..." OCC:Here his the symbol that was in his eyes
