Drexler smiled "some pony I can talk to I will join your quest but first I need to know who I am traveling with?"
Clef lossens up and destroys all the creations making them into wet mud again and went back to his happy go lucky self. He throws Drexler's weapons back and says "well as you know im Clef," he chuckled, "well right now Kidd, Farie, me, Crimson, and I dont know about these two ponies right here I just met them,". He walks about cleaning up all the mud by turning it back to dried mud.
Faerie Fox taps on Clef's shoulder. "What about him by the trees?" She says, pointing to a nearby tree with a dark figure standing in the shadows underneath it.
Tempest simply smile, "That would be Willow Wisp a wolf of the woods. He and his kin have been guarding it's borders for untold years." says Tempest. "Yes that is me, now then Tempest will remain here while the rest of you follow me." says the wolf.
Blize looked at the group and after some thought decided it'd be best to go with them. "Well. I figure, that I need to watch over the woods, but what better way to do it then actually travel through it. I won't get as good a view from the ground but why not? So where exactly are we headed?"
Faerie Fox taps her lip with her hoof in thought. "I'm pretty sure Clef said we're meeting somepony in an inn at Blackwhite Hollow. You know these woods well enough, you probably know the way too. Have you heard of it?"
Clef was bored with all of this talk "come on!" he yelled, "let's get back to the adventure,". He runs toward the direction of the inn hoping that the group would follow him.
Blize quickly flew in front of Clef stopping him. "One, you don't know where you're going. These woods are dangerous. The Shadowed Woods. As for you're question," He nodded to Faerie "The name sounds familiar. I think I know the path."
"Well hurry up!" Drexler shouted "I agreed to joined your quest for a reason not to talk and stand around" he said and spirited past the Pegasus while saying the word "Gold!"
Kidd sighs to himself. "Well in that case, I'll be following from the shadows" And he melted into the darkness.
"Wait a minute!" he yelled, "only Blize knows were to go,". He turns the dried mud into wet mud again creating a spear he aims very carfuly to hit the ground a few inches away not hitting. He launches the spear and lands only centimeters away from his Drexler's hoof and he stops right in front of the spear turning into mud "sorry I had to stop you somehow," he said apologetically.
"Humph hurry up and decide The Earth mother is restless." says the wolf, "And it is about to rain again." he adds while looking up at the sky which is clear of clouds.
Clef waves towards Drexler to make a move on "ok lets go!" he starts to follow Faerie waiting for other enemies he can scare.
After a while it starts to rain, not a heavy down pour but a moderate one. After what seems like forever you notice a dark shape fly overhead and then disappear into the encroaching night.
Kidd steps out of a nearby shadow. He looks at the group, "Hey guys, If you don't mind, I think I'll chase that shadowy figure up ahead. I can move instantly through the shadows, even the ones in the sky, and I'm dieing for some action." Before anypony can say no, he leaps into a shadow, and reapears in the sky, comeing out of a dark stormcloud. Kidd moves across the sky, using stormclouds to catch up as he chases the impossibly fast figure in the sky.
As you follow the shadow you notice that it is descending towards a town. You realize that this must be the town you and your friends are headed for.
"Perfect" Says Kidd to himself. He leaves the town, after cementing its location in his mind. Kidd walks through a shadow, and apears back with his group of friends. "Hey guys! I found the town! Now you're coming with me!" Kidd grabs Clef, and yanks him back into the shadows. Everyone looks confused for a second or two. Then Kidd reapears, without Clef, and begins to take everypony one by one. Once the last person is taken, (Blize) he is dumped out of a shadow, on the outskirts of the town they were headed for. Kidd looks tired, but proud as he looks at the pile of friends he had transported. "Well, here we are!... Umm... Shadow sickness will wear off soon... It's kinda like motion sickness... sorry..."
The shadow that you saw earlier appears again and this time flies low enough for you to see scales. It's a dragon a large black dragon, it lands but a few feet away where Willow Wisp appears from the woods. "Kevuum-de varus, Willow Wisp?" asks the dragon to the wolf. "Vagus-va Carrion de Firemane." replies the wolf, you notice they are talking in a odd language and both seem known too your mission.
Clef was startled to see the dragon but noticed the dragon was not trying to kill them. He sits down felling a head-ache from the teleporting he lays on the grass creating a mud umbrella "ahhhh some time to relax,".
