Azrael spoke up, "Azrael. Necromancer, revenant and greatest fighter to ever exist. But you already knew that last part. I'm assuming I'm here to defend?"
Violia then sighs and decides to speak up. "M-My name is Violia Shade, I'm an herbalist in my past time and I'm demon hunter otherwise." She says softly but clearly.
Mat just stands there, shaking his head, "... With Az here, I'm certainly starting to wonder why I am here."
Violia looks to Azrael and thinks a moment. "I suppose we may of." She says, recalling a previous time meeting him.
She smiled, waiting for all to speak. She straightened herself, offering out a hoof for any to shake, "Steampunk Metal, owner of Easy Streets Corner Stores with chains in Manehattan, Baltimare, and Hoofington. I'm a billionaire vigilante, and I'm here to pay for your whimsical needs,"
Celestia smiles and giggles some. "Now that we have formalities out of the way, let's proceed to the mission at hoof you'll be going to embark on. According to my geological team, we have found an island in the far reaches of the ocean. It's confirmed to have the ability to sustain life and this island is where I'm going to have you all go to. See if there is already native life there. We cannot avoid the thought of danger as a possibility, but I'm sure it'll be nothing too bad." She says looking to all of them as she speak about her plans for them. "There is a train in Canterlot that'll take you a small, developing, fishing town. There is one of my commissioned royal boat that will take you the island. If I could make a suggestion, stock up at the market that resides in the town before shoving off." She finishes as gives them all a look over, raising her brow. "Any questions?"
"Who's the leader?" She said it in an absolutely joking way, but her face was dead serious. So we've got an unprepared astronomer, a clown act of a guard, an overly confident mercenary, a soft spoken herbalist, and the mare with all the bits. Greeeeaatt.
Celestia giggles at the question. "That's something you'll figure out for yourselves. Get to know your companions while you're on your adventure. I'd say you'll find your leader from the actions of the ponies with you." She smiles softly. "Sometimes the last place you look is in those who maybe not what you expected." She then shows her serious face once more. "Any other questions?"
Violia remained quite and it didn't seem like here was much else to discuss. Celestia then sighs. "There is no other questions then?" She looks across them all and smiles. "Good. Then It would be best for you all to be on your way to the train station. No sense in making holding anything up any further." She says, closing her eyes to think about things most likely.
Steam held behind from the crowd, eager to speak to the Princess privately. There were still some...issues, to deal with.
Azrael started for the train station. He was inwardly looking forward to the posdibility dangerous creatures. He had not had a good fight in a while. It was high time something pushed his limits.
