Nightshade nodded. "Yep. The best part is, the contract specifically says that anything we bring back, other than the plants, belongs to us. Treasure, weapons, artifacts... anything."
Perhaps that Bat and Pegasus will stop in on their way to where ever. Hold on please. (Uses the Phase Cube, and after a few minutes returns once more) And for the Pegasus' sake, I hope she doesn't find anything too dangerous or harmful to ponies. I studied as much as I could on whats past the North Pole, and there may be some dangerous ancient stuff up there. I'm surprised that anypony would ever dare to go to this Old Country as it was referred to in the stories available, if that is where the Pegasus is going, she needs to be careful.
"Niiiice." Raven smirked. "Hey, see if you can find some birdkitty weapons." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sure they'll be fine. Hey, Az is probably out in the Everfree, so if you wanna just go find him while I do his job..."
Alright. (Walks to the door but before he can leave, he flashes and reappears in his previous location.) Grrr. Well, this should be fun
Working on it. Hmmm..... (Runs complex mental calculations, before checking his watch and exclaiming.)
Worse than that. This is incredibly strange. The readings I had picked up earlier have been more intense. And now they overloaded the sensor. Meaning either some emotional upheaval, or.....
Raven shook her head. "Probably not. As far as I know, ponies didn't encounter griffons until after they came to Equestria."
"Griffon weapons aren't really made for ponies," she said with a shrug. "But I was planning on looking for weapons anyway. Any requests?"
When Architect died, there was an orb of Raw Energy left where he stood. It faded, and it is possible this could be a remnant of it. It is a possibility, though highly unlikely.
Nightshade nodded. "I'll see what I can find." Merry brought out the food, interrupting the conversation for a moment. When she was back in the kitchen, Nightshade continued. "To be perfectly honest, nopony knows WHAT we'll find over there. No expedition have ever gone this far into the old country," she said. "...and come back alive," she added silently.
No, I don't think so. I do know that timelines are converging though, which as a paradox, the Universe is trying to correct me, by overwriting me. The energy surge that just overloaded the sensor I have could be from a piece of that orb. In which case it also proves, that Architect's failsafes are breaking down, but still holding
Raven sighed. "Just don't pull a me and be dumb up there." ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Then it looks like you better get your ass moving."
Alright, see you in a day or two then. (Walks towards the door and makes it outside of the bar and to the edge of the forest)
Azrael was definitely in the forest, somewhere. Surely someone talented enough could track that power.
(Starts walking through the forest leaving a small series of afterimages, that quickly fade, behind him whilst looking around and listening.)
