Aima wandered around the shop lost in her own mind as she observed many of the flowers that were on sale. A majestic purple flower caught her eye and she walked up to it curiously. "Hmm, this is a truly glorious flower. Does it just hold superficial qualities or is it-" her voice trailed off as she turned around to realize the shop had been empty. "Brilliant customer appreciation..." She took a step outside to see what had been going on. "Oh, Why hello there Blade~" she said with a devious smile on her face.
Jhera turned towards Aima. "Did you find anything you need? I'm a little hurried at the moment to find this..." He looked into the book. "Do you know of any sort of flower called a Goldbelle?"
Edge looked through the sandwiches and saw the biggest one of them all he grabbed it and bit into half of the sandwich he started to chew he threw the rest into his mouth and gulped it all down. His hunger had ended and he walked up towards the store keeper and tapped his shoulder and gave him the bits "Thank you for the sandwich! It was delicious!" Edge said he exited the building and suddenly he slammed into somepony "Oh im so sorry!" Edge said he opened his eyes he gasped in horror to see the pony that was pissed at him the last time.
Aima was rearing up to perpetuate Blade with a volley on harassment, but was cut short in her stride by a powerful shove from behind her. She spun around to face the one who had done so and came face to face with a familiar pony. It was the one who escaped before using the odd purple smoke. Without skipping a beat she reached over and grabbed the Unicorn by the horn with a firm grip and pulled him in close so that he couldn't escape. She smiled deviously. "Oh it's you again. It's a pleasure I'm sure but unlike you I take experience with me" she said as her grip tightened. "I can see the same cannot be said for you." She let go of the Unicorn and gave a warm smile. "Naturally I'm joking. You've done nothing to invoke my rage today... have you?" She said as the smile was wiped from her face leaving a scowl, which was only then swiftly replaced with jovial laughter. "I'll be on my way, there's nothing in this shop that captures my desire sufficiently. Have a good day." she said to both Edge and Jhera as she spun around once more and awaited Blade's response.
Jhera was saddened that Aima hadn't answered his question. He turned to the injured pegasus. "I can't fnd any Goldbelle flowers, so you'll have to deal with the pain. If it can make you any better, you can come inside the shop and rest up for a bit!"
Snow had seen Aima suddenly grab a pony that had run into her. Snow ran out from the library, and using her magic, pushed apart the two and stood between them, "Hey! No need for volience now! It was probably an accident right?" She said to the pony Aima had grabbed, Snow turned to Aima, "And maybe you should take some anger management classes."
Aima pulled herself off of the floor and glared at Snow. "And perhaps you might wish to study up on your common knowledge, I was merely being playful with this pony, not hostile. If I truly had terrible intentions then your intervention might have resulted in the severing of his horn when you separated us." she said as she brushed herself off. She walked over and stood directly in front of Snow and came face to face with her. "Darling, maybe if you were to cease your attempts to be a guardian that nobody needs, then maybe you might be capable of other perspectives. Not everything is black or white, there is grey in this world my dear, why is all of us had the same values as you then maybe I might judge you to be one who so carelessly and negatively forms her opinions of others while holding her own actions to a ludicrously high esteem, though I am one for second, third, and maybe even fourth chances." She began to walk past Snow but stopped next to her for a moment and whispered into her ear. "This is not Canterlot darling, and I'd advise you to understand that." Upon saying this Aima turned her attention back to the Library and walked off.
Snow growled at her, "I KNOW that. I am not an idiot, and I would suggest that would would try to keep your attitude towards me down because I contain an evil that could surface if I became angry enough." Aima turned to Snow just in time to see a shadow past over her face. But it wasn't like a regular shadow, it showed an purely evil looking pony for the quickest second. It was pure black with a fiery red mane and eyes, and it stared at Aima like she was its next meal. Snow stared at Aima with a half worried half threatening stare that said, Don't piss me off, or you and the rest of Ponyville will become very familiar with this evil.
Aima looked back a Snow with a serious look on her face. "All of us have personal demons my dear, it's all a matter of having the willpower to keep it in check. Judging by how high you hold the fact that you were a pupil of Her Majesty then I'd expect you to show more restraint. It's very hypocritical to criticize one for showing restraint and then immediately stating that you alone threaten this town." She walked over to her and the intensity that filled the air began to grow thick. "I happen to find this town a jovial place of rejuvenation, and if you plan to prance about on your high horse expecting special treatment just because you maintain an inner darkness then you may find yourself with a myriad of enemies that not only includes me, but those who would seek to protect the sanctity of this town as well. Reality is rather unkind and unforgiving, so if you dare threaten the well being of those who reside here again, I won't hesitate to find a way to keep that fate from reaching it's conclusion." Aima finished her rant with the serious look maintained, yet it wasn't from anger but that of protection. She chose not to grip Snow's horn and keep her magical powers at bay through an act of trust. Whether she would choose to lash out and make an enemy or not was up to Snow now.
"I am not threatening, I am warning! The moment I let my mental jail of her slip, that's the end of that. I... Ah forget it." Snow said, not wanting to argue and risk either an incident happen, or HER to appear, and she walked away.
Dark looked at Jhera. "Did you say Goldbelle?" Dark started to look like he knew a bit of the situation. "It just so happens my sister Foxglove has a grove not too far from here. I'm sure she wont mind..."
Jhera turned to the downed pony. "Oh, your sister has these flowers? Could you tell me where she is, perhaps she is willing to give me one if i tell her the state you're in." He picked up his ingredients and put them back in his pack.
"Well.... She herself is in Canterlot...." Dark shivered a bit. "However the closest source to these flowers that I know of is in... The Everfree forest... Its Fox Gloves grove. She started it and allows me to enter it. I'm sure she wont mind... Well.... Lets.... Make haste...." Dark nodded in the direction.
Blade made his way back into the library while Aima were talking, he didn't feel like talking to anypony at the moment anyway.
Jhera nodded and supported the pony. "Let's be off! Oh, I haven't been to the Everfree Forest yet! This is going to be an adventure!" Together, they began walking off to the Forest. Jhera hummed happily along the way.
"I'd be carefull" Informed Dark to Jhera "The Everfree forest is no safe place... That is why my sister's made it here... Well I suppose my sister ButterCup did most of the work... But thats not important right now!" Dark tried to fly but his bad wing made him plummet to the ground. "I'd say were are about a quater of the way there..."
Snow had found directions to this 'Fluttershy's' house, who apparently ponies took their pets to to take care of them. She walked up to the small cottage and breathed in, "Time to finally meet this Twilight Sparkle.) she said and knocked on the door. (Rashall, since you are kinda controling the Mane 6, what happens next is up to you)
"So, what exactly is so dangerous about this forest?" Jhera said as they approached some menacing looking trees. "It looks totally fine to me! C'mon, lets got get some of the flowers! Some seeds while we're at it would be nice too, I could plant them in my garden! Oh, maybe I could write an informational book about them! I have nothing with Goldbelles in my library." Overtaken with excitement, Jhera bounced into the forest.
