Walking across the thickly covered forest grounds, the orange Earth pony looked up from under the hood of his brown cloak. His left hoof fell harder on the dirt as he approached a settlement, a leg fitting boot over the appendage to keep dirt off it. The stallion looked over the simple setup once he came out of the forest and into a clearing looking area. He looked the area over with his yellow orbs through strains of a yellowish-brown mane. He had a saddlebag on his back, the flap latched closed by the weighted design of a pentagram inside a circle with a tail of blue smoke looking magic coming from its center. He took a deep breath, taking in the scent of baked goods and grilled veggies. The center of the village held a beautiful triple tier fountain carved of beautiful marble looking stone. Looks like they know how to make a show in the middle of a forest. He thought while ignoring as some eyes fell upon him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ifdMK6m37

He made his way up to an outside cafe and took a seat on one of the stumps at a wooden stone top table. "Hello sir, what might you want?" a tan Earth pony questioned as he gave the new pony a menu.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m8yamAVnf
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT50GV0FyDt
The cloaked pony opened it and looked over the options. Hmm...not a lot of options. Berry salad, vegie taco in a double leaf cheese wrap, carrot burgers, banana hot dogs... he scrutinized the menu for a minute or longer before closing it. "I'll have a double carrot burger with a salad on the side and nut milk to drink."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ4GVjKZwl
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUOTLQUNfO
"Fine choice sir. I'll be back with it shortly." The waiter took the menu and disappeared inside the building to put in the order.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlZISReez

The cloaked pony looked around the quiet town at the mostly Earth ponies with a few Pegasus and Unicorns doing their thing. Doesn't look like there's anything weird here. Then again...magic isn't always obvious at first. He focused his mind on his necklace under his cloak, levitating out a history book on rituals and spells of old, and read while he waited.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjeSFphct

"Hello there stranger." A female voice greeted, causing the young stallion to look up from his book. His shaded eyes set themselves upon a tan, almost violet, colored Earth pony with a rose red mane and long tail. "Are you new? Not a lot of ponies travel this far out of the Princesses rule."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF037yg0SqT
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY5QYGjlRV
He glanced at her cutie mark which was an open rose with two petals falling. "I could be new and just passing through." He answered slowly as his eyes met her river blue orbs. "I enjoy traveling, keeps the mind fresh."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxcAlbGGY
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0FRAAet4T
"Oh that's cool." She stepped around an sat across from him, using her tail to set her basket of herbs beside her. "I'm Rose Petal and you are?" she gestured for an answer with a hoof in the air.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEiOoXJkec
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNORU3HTNV
"I don't really have a name so call me what you will." He went back to his book as she dropped her hoof with a pout.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeP1RNpUwr
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreAkv0pDDG
"You sound too young to be that grumpy." She looked him over, leaning in to try seeing his face before turning her gaze to his bags. "Hmm...I'll call you Star Mists."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk144sILiA
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ2nI8vVRm
This brought him to lift an eyebrow as well as his gaze from his book. "Star Mists?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9XDJ87g7U
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ElHPxZkC
The mare gave an innocent smile. "It's the first thing to come to me. Plus~ you did say I could call you anything."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qQoMbJdcF
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TCPKuqiKt
I did say that... he sighed, looking back to his book. Note to self, pick words more carefully.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AVqf87n5t
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkggjpLcgI
"So what brings you here besides traveling around aimlessly?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDenHRDM3Q
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs6UkIafsA
"Nothing much...just perhaps a rumor going around that a Unicorn had somehow learned to use the same magic as a phoenix."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyIbllCWvO
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7PCChQWN
"Oh!" she looked stunned then rubbed the back of her head. "I didn't realize Father Void's discovery had reached far enough to draw ponies here to Galen." She lowered her hoof and watched his order be set in front of him. "I'll take a water and a couple daisy biscuits." The waiter nodded and left to get her order, taking the tray with him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qX0CISlmd
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EuETIXBn1
Star Mists looked to her again before using his necklace to levitate the burger up, taking a bite and was careful while speaking with his mouth full. "I hope you're paying for your own order."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPycc1gyUO
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzK7cz9aSO
Rose Petal nodded, turning her head and waved a hoof in the air dismissively. "Of course I am. Who do you think you're talking to?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjQUx0yNp6
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRxRhVjyKF
"A pony who has invited herself to my table and keeps talking as I try to eat." He then swallowed and looked up to see her cheeks puffed out some with her sights glaring down on him. "What? Too close to home?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVFZwja9cC
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxqqpC7fV7
She huffed and put her hooves down on her seat annoyed. "Do you want to hear about Father Void or not?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Md0PXUeUm
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkks7fk32s
He swallowed, "sure," and took another bite with his eyes closed, occasionally looking down to his book laying beside his plate.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqjacj3MUF
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB9GvIeCSB
"Father Void came here a couple years ago and said he was on the verge of a breakthrough in magical ability for your average Unicorn. We were unsure what he meant but, once he showed us what he had learned from a spell book, we were in awe. We had never once seen anyone, not even an Alicorn, raise the dead before!" there was a tone of wonderment in her voice and almost sparkles in her eyes. "It was breathtaking and amazing! I mean, who knew the dead could be brought back? I didn't!" she nodded to the waiter as her order came and was set down. She picked up one biscuit with her hooves and took a bite. "So, you see," she said trying to be polite before swallowing. "It wasn't just some average feat of strength. He literally defied the laws of life to bring back a soul to the living."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaw3uzIXj6
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYB7q3vXlB
"Never heard of a pony called Void before." Star Mists commented before swallowing and getting a drink from the straw in his milk. "Did he have a previous name?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EgWcgxh9y
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Pu3rHihO
Rose Petal looked to him curiously then up to the sky as she thought. "Hmm...well I think one mare called him Silvereye."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrBowDXmEf
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5PSqYL0ew
"Any idea why he'd change his name?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqulch3Ossh
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwjL1gQed3
She shook her head. "No idea but I think he did it because of his breakthrough. He changed his name to represent his new found strength to end suffering for ponies who lose a loved one." She finished off the rest of the first biscuit. "Or that's my guess anyways." She explained with her mouth full.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac6AijhQRY
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B6gCm4YYX
"That's weird," he commented before going quiet as he focused on his sandwich and book.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwt0XCLENw
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXAof6kOZX
The silence lingered between them until both had finished eating and their drinks almost all gone. Finally, Rose Petal couldn't take the silence anymore and spoke up. "Would you like to meet Father Void?" Star Mists looked up from his book, finishing his milk and gave a nod. "Great! I'll go make sure he has time today to meet with us." she exclaimed excitedly as she jumped to her hooves. "You are going to be so impressed by him! He's even greater than the Princesses!" she then took off towards the town's temple at its head. He turned around to watch where she was going briefly then returned to his book, paying for both his meal and hers since she had run out on the check.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl5gPD0AUt
