Geoff watched Ember work her magic literally. He winced when Kail screamed, but she seemed quite all right now. But still, he had his doubts. "I don't know, is... Kail was it?" Geoff was horrible with names. "Is Kail quite all right? And it seems like she's come from the depths of the forests. I'm not sure she'd like to go back right away. Perhaps she can be more use than stumbling around blindly in the dark."

She's fine Geoff, she only screamed in fear. It was a Phoenix spell, a renewing flame, refreshing the spirit and healing the flesh." She said defensively. she then looked back at the sea green Pegasus, it was true what Geoff said, it seemed she had been in the depths of the forest. Ember took, a deep breath and said "Kail, will you help us? We are investigating the Evergreen forest, and need help navigating through. This eclipse simply isn't normal and we want to get to the bottom of it"

"Yes, I'm... I'm fine."
It was hard to believe that was true. Kail looked at her wings again and flexed them to be sure. She'd never needed to be healed before - was this how the ponies who came to her felt after she healed them? How strange.
At the mention of the eclipse, Kail's attention snapped back to the ponies before her. She took a step back from the forest and the dark veil hiding within. There wasn't much that the Champion feared, but the veil and Eclipse were top of her list. Eclipse scared her much more than the Dark Rainbow.
"It's not safe in there. There's a dark veil causing a Rift in time, and monsters called Stonebacks. The eclipse has been caused by an evil queen. She tried to kill my friend and I..." She paused for a moment. If Whisp ran through the forest she should have come out right around here.
"I have to find Whispering Wind. You haven't seen a young, purple unicorn, have you?"

Geoff smiled a little and nodded. Right again like usual. "Whispering Wind you say? Purplish unicorn? Can't say that we have, but we just entered the forest ourselves." And then Geoff realized what she had said earlier.
"Wait wait wait. What was that about an evil queen? And how could she cause the eclipse? Aren't the celestial bodies controlled by Princess Luna and Celestia for a reason?" [And yes, pun intended]

A purple unicorn? No pony came to mind. Then Geoff began to question Kail, he raised some very important questions. Was there really another Alicorn? A queen infact! Could she be causing the eclipse and all of the mistrust and darkness in Whinnyapolis? Ember remained silent, only nodding at Geoff and looking back at the sea green Pegasus.

Kail's ears sank as the other two said they hadn't see Whisp. She could be lost in the forest, or the pendant could have failed and the stonebacks killed her. The Queen could have woken up and found her, although Kail was sure the Queen would be looking for the pegasus instead. Still, Eclipse had proven that she'd hurt Whisp to get to Kail.
"The Queen is Eclipse. She said her sister's had wrested control from her and sent her to someplace dark, called the Opaque. The darkness has twisted her - she want control of the Rainbows! Both of them! I don't know anything about these sisters of her's, but if they are the princesses you speak of we have to get the Rainbow of Light from them and protect it."
She looked at the two ponies, trying to read their expressions and see if they believed her. She knew it was an odd story - how could a pony, even a Queen, control the Rainbows? All Kail knew was that Eclipse was going to try, and as the Rainbow's Champion the peg had to keep it safe.
"The Queen said she's not strong enough to face her sister's yet, but she was strong enough to defeat the unicorn her sister's sent to defeat her. That's how the dark veil was created - the unicorn made it trying to send Eclipse back to the Opaque." She looked at both ponies, dead serious. "Trust me, you don't want to go through the Rift it created. You don't know where you'll end up."

Two sisters? Embers own ears went back in confusion. "What? You can't be talking about Princess Luna and Princess Celestia!" She exclaimed. But she had to calm herself down, sparks were forming at her hooves again.

Geoff clucked comfortingly. Oh he didn't believe her in the least. But she had obviously hit her head much harder than first appeared. "It's ok." Geoff said as he tried to approach her slowly, arms raised to try to calm her. "Why don't we head into town. I know a place where we can all stay... safe. And we can talk it over some more. Besides, this forest is starting to give me the creeps."
Geoff looked around nervously, a thought giving him the chills. If Kail was right...

Ember then looked at Geoff nodding. "Yes, it's late in the afternoon and if we are going to make it back before dark, we'd better get a move on." She said looking at her hooves nervously. The forest around her swayed as a sudden gust of air burst through, unsettling all three ponies slightly. Ember's mane almost looked like a band of flowing fire in this wind, but it was short lived. It was almost as if the forest was forcing them out. The fiery pony looked at Kail, willing her to agree to go back to town. At least there the ponies could have warm beds and decent food once they had reached their destination.

[I'll be off until Tuesday, so if one of you wants to move them to town feel free ] Kail breathed a sigh of relief - there was no way she was stepping foot in that forest again. And if Whisp was somewhere in town these ponies could help Kail find her. Then they could look for the new Champions together, and warn them about Eclipse. "Yes, thank you. A safe place in town would be wonderful. I haven't slept in days." Not that Kail was tired physically - Ember's healing had done wonders for her. But mentally she was exhausted.

Ember nodded and sighed with relief. "Alright let's head back...." she said and then realized she didn't know where to go. Ummm Geoff? Where should we stay?" She asked the navy blue stallion.

Geoff blanched. He didn't like it when people thrust authority onto his shoulders. Well, he liked being in control, but he didn't like the extra stress it brought. He was a conflicted pony.
And so he did what he usually did under stress. Found a happy place and watched the leaves dancing in the wind. "Nature is so beautiful..." he muttered distractedly.
And then Ember's question snapped him back to reality. "Where to go? Well, there's only one place I can really call home at the time, and it's safe. If you don't mind no windows haha. He's a nice guy and a great cook, goes by the name of Kai. He's a bit... strange looking. And well, strange, but that's besides the point. I'll show the way... sorta. His house is kind of hard to get to."
[And now we do the timewarp. psheeeeewww (That's a laser sound)]

(Ok let's switch threads, into...where ever Kai is.)

[They won't find Kai at home because he's in the Tower right now, but this is the perfect time for Kail to meet Roo, if you guys want to join her. I'll post her somewhere in town on their way to Kai's]

[Yes, Kai's home. Let's talk about that for a few seconds. Kai's home is a large, crumbling castle in the Everfree Forest. But wait, you might have meant where he spends most of his time, when not running errands, where he has his mail sent. That's in Canterlot. But wait, it's more likely you were referring to the hole in the ground where he and Geoff are bunking together right now. That's a little more than two miles below Las Pegasus. But oh, it's simpler than that, isn't it? You're looking for the portal he hid in a cliff wall, so he wouldn't have to fly all the way to Las Pegasus every day. That's in the small hills outside of Farin.
Confused? Don't be. Simple answer: Kai lives in Farin.
Also, on the subject of running into Roo, I would actually prefer you run into him on the way to Kai's house, because that means I can refrain from bubbling Kai again. It also means I can skip Kai running back to Neighathorn Tower to tell Princess Luna, "I goofed." Since Roo could probably do it faster, and won't be trying to carry Whisp through a beam of light. More on how that works after I get off of work...]
