Walking across the thickly covered forest grounds, the orange Earth pony looked up from under the hood of his brown cloak. His left hoof fell harder on the dirt as he approached a settlement, a leg fitting boot over the appendage to keep dirt off it. The stallion looked over the simple setup once he came out of the forest and into a clearing looking area. He looked the area over with his yellow orbs through strains of a yellowish-brown mane. He had a saddlebag on his back, the flap latched closed by the weighted design of a pentagram inside a circle with a tail of blue smoke looking magic coming from its center. He took a deep breath, taking in the scent of baked goods and grilled veggies. The center of the village held a beautiful triple tier fountain carved of beautiful marble looking stone. Looks like they know how to make a show in the middle of a forest. He thought while ignoring as some eyes fell upon him.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcp9P78qr

He made his way up to an outside cafe and took a seat on one of the stumps at a wooden stone top table. "Hello sir, what might you want?" a tan Earth pony questioned as he gave the new pony a menu.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw7afSkg52
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFotgoBAyl0
The cloaked pony opened it and looked over the options. Hmm...not a lot of options. Berry salad, vegie taco in a double leaf cheese wrap, carrot burgers, banana hot dogs... he scrutinized the menu for a minute or longer before closing it. "I'll have a double carrot burger with a salad on the side and nut milk to drink."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvRxqSxo5X
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt6MBO90Qu
"Fine choice sir. I'll be back with it shortly." The waiter took the menu and disappeared inside the building to put in the order.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HRi3e3iq9

The cloaked pony looked around the quiet town at the mostly Earth ponies with a few Pegasus and Unicorns doing their thing. Doesn't look like there's anything weird here. Then again...magic isn't always obvious at first. He focused his mind on his necklace under his cloak, levitating out a history book on rituals and spells of old, and read while he waited.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSW4Q40XjX

"Hello there stranger." A female voice greeted, causing the young stallion to look up from his book. His shaded eyes set themselves upon a tan, almost violet, colored Earth pony with a rose red mane and long tail. "Are you new? Not a lot of ponies travel this far out of the Princesses rule."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnLzXw6DXL
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgQmqq4Hzi
He glanced at her cutie mark which was an open rose with two petals falling. "I could be new and just passing through." He answered slowly as his eyes met her river blue orbs. "I enjoy traveling, keeps the mind fresh."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPIlj0aL3y
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPxk2Hojft
"Oh that's cool." She stepped around an sat across from him, using her tail to set her basket of herbs beside her. "I'm Rose Petal and you are?" she gestured for an answer with a hoof in the air.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCifgbdkaDY
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5dLml5hmn
"I don't really have a name so call me what you will." He went back to his book as she dropped her hoof with a pout.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwny4CWnTD8
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVDNM6BQ3i
"You sound too young to be that grumpy." She looked him over, leaning in to try seeing his face before turning her gaze to his bags. "Hmm...I'll call you Star Mists."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WDjCBBUu
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RaoHuCrUY
This brought him to lift an eyebrow as well as his gaze from his book. "Star Mists?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A1ew2QV7T
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQMtPxmee
The mare gave an innocent smile. "It's the first thing to come to me. Plus~ you did say I could call you anything."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtz5KY8h84
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv8TuwixXq
I did say that... he sighed, looking back to his book. Note to self, pick words more carefully.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYmxR2CPKd
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhVLJnhnPv
"So what brings you here besides traveling around aimlessly?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLznhwn2qA
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTcwKzLBuQ
"Nothing much...just perhaps a rumor going around that a Unicorn had somehow learned to use the same magic as a phoenix."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANWWfKYzLL
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZkNMr83V
"Oh!" she looked stunned then rubbed the back of her head. "I didn't realize Father Void's discovery had reached far enough to draw ponies here to Galen." She lowered her hoof and watched his order be set in front of him. "I'll take a water and a couple daisy biscuits." The waiter nodded and left to get her order, taking the tray with him.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBrNuCaBTY
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7tmtEiqYH
Star Mists looked to her again before using his necklace to levitate the burger up, taking a bite and was careful while speaking with his mouth full. "I hope you're paying for your own order."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMVfvo9M3j
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xM9AZvrhz
Rose Petal nodded, turning her head and waved a hoof in the air dismissively. "Of course I am. Who do you think you're talking to?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf3lxye5Y3
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4120bKiwT
"A pony who has invited herself to my table and keeps talking as I try to eat." He then swallowed and looked up to see her cheeks puffed out some with her sights glaring down on him. "What? Too close to home?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsLJeE0Pfi
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0n6eanI5
She huffed and put her hooves down on her seat annoyed. "Do you want to hear about Father Void or not?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uGeX6a5EH
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5z0ner0X
He swallowed, "sure," and took another bite with his eyes closed, occasionally looking down to his book laying beside his plate.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHrGu0Bf9F
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLGxmBmYE3
"Father Void came here a couple years ago and said he was on the verge of a breakthrough in magical ability for your average Unicorn. We were unsure what he meant but, once he showed us what he had learned from a spell book, we were in awe. We had never once seen anyone, not even an Alicorn, raise the dead before!" there was a tone of wonderment in her voice and almost sparkles in her eyes. "It was breathtaking and amazing! I mean, who knew the dead could be brought back? I didn't!" she nodded to the waiter as her order came and was set down. She picked up one biscuit with her hooves and took a bite. "So, you see," she said trying to be polite before swallowing. "It wasn't just some average feat of strength. He literally defied the laws of life to bring back a soul to the living."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsym1uuV38
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy67xHd9R31
"Never heard of a pony called Void before." Star Mists commented before swallowing and getting a drink from the straw in his milk. "Did he have a previous name?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ganr3VzOu
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe3bZ32JTz
Rose Petal looked to him curiously then up to the sky as she thought. "Hmm...well I think one mare called him Silvereye."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gAi2rSonE
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJLLrzhT1G
"Any idea why he'd change his name?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjteWrqxOjs
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKNnF6Mkdl
She shook her head. "No idea but I think he did it because of his breakthrough. He changed his name to represent his new found strength to end suffering for ponies who lose a loved one." She finished off the rest of the first biscuit. "Or that's my guess anyways." She explained with her mouth full.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmfIaqCdR
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSxUIodEtX
"That's weird," he commented before going quiet as he focused on his sandwich and book.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BgvSGgc48
737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oPOwcSLft
The silence lingered between them until both had finished eating and their drinks almost all gone. Finally, Rose Petal couldn't take the silence anymore and spoke up. "Would you like to meet Father Void?" Star Mists looked up from his book, finishing his milk and gave a nod. "Great! I'll go make sure he has time today to meet with us." she exclaimed excitedly as she jumped to her hooves. "You are going to be so impressed by him! He's even greater than the Princesses!" she then took off towards the town's temple at its head. He turned around to watch where she was going briefly then returned to his book, paying for both his meal and hers since she had run out on the check.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMH8tpaHSM
