Things just seemed to be getting worse and worse, didn't it?

Shael clung to the tree, grabbing her side lightly. Maybe re broke something. Thought for later. She was far too focused on the castle happenings. The creature hadn't pursued it past the tree line, having seemingly decided to focus on the new threat. Whatever it even was, Shael hadn't a clue, but she'd very much like to study it, but now wasn't the time for scientific inquiry. The sun had moved behind the moon, in an image that would have caused great alarm back on Sal'Xantis. Normally such a thing wouldn't happen, considering the solar synchronous orbit of her planet, but she doubted the controlled eclipse here would be the same.

She turned her attention back to the darkness and the illusory creature, her heart calming down considerably. The darkness had lifted, and with the light, came a more thorough understanding of the situation. More of those quadrupeds were walking around, dressed in some fancy masks and costume. Were they the same as that striped one she had met earlier? Chances were likely. More attention drawing one, however, was the one standing nearly two feet taller than the dragon.

"...Night mother?" Shael mused. "He-he! Similar, but different. Not the ruler of ice and night, hee-hee!" She giggled quietly, staring into its nebulous mane. Ah, she wanted to touch it! Perhaps if she could get close enough she could figure out if that was an actual nebula or something entirely different. How did that happen? "Ah, still wary of...dangerous..." She shook her head, coming down from the tree now that things had seemed to calm down somewhat as the dark nebula quadruped spoke with the authority similar to that of the Sun Emperor.

The calmness seemed to last only for a moment, though. The large creature seemed to attack the other in a show of force. Tsk, well, that wouldn't do at all, would it? Oh well, she'd watch and observe like a good, silent, little Ebon.

"Hee! Crashed on a foreign world with no knowledge!" Shael mused to the pony she had landed next too. "Attacked by Illusions and now watching tall nebula pony and a large scaley thing fight. Ahaha, this planet is quite dangerous." She turned her head to the pony. "Ah, and shiny crystal quadruped! Hehe, quite odd life here!" Not that the pony would be able to understand anything without a translation. All he'd hear was pleasant hums, chimes, and chirps.
