Emural turns towards Essence and replies, "I am called Emural. A chosen representative of my village and contractor. I am also the village's guardian and magical detector. As for the changelings. They are returning to their leader and to resume with their duties. You could say I borrowed them to bring you and the rest of these volunteers here."
42
Emural looks at Nightshade. His face showing nothing, not even a hint of emotion. He says, "Through the mountain. First, we gather."

A closer look at the Emural reveals that his partially covered cutie mark seems to be glowing a bright blue color. And, unlike the changelings that disguised as him, he is carrying two full saddlebags. After Emural gets a good look at Nightshade, he speaks again, in a more lower tone. "You do not need to wear a disguise. You are among allies," said Emural.

The stallion opens up the scroll and the spell immediately activates, engulfing the two into a ball of light. The ball disappears, leaving no trace.

In the forest, a ball of light appears next to the first group and dissipates, releasing the two from the spell. The black stallion, Emural, looks towards the new group. The black stallion walks towards Emural and says, "I brought in a volunteer."

"Good," says Emural. "You may join the others whenever you please."

The black stallion is engulfed in a crimson flame, revealing to be another crimson crowned changeling. He extends his wings and launches into the sky. He soon begins to fly over the mountain and out of sight. Emural then beckons Essence to him.
44
The black stallion walks up to her and says, "Are you ready to begin?"

As he spoke, the stallion pulls out what looks to be a scroll from the black trench coat.
45
The tavern keeper picks up the empty plate and cup and places it with the rest of the dirty dishes. He smiles at the compliment and says, "I'm glad you enjoy."
46
The tavern keeper walks into the door behind the counter. Moments later, he comes out with a fresh new cup of hot cocoa. He walks over to where Scarlet is sitting and places down the cup. "Here is your cup of hot cocoa," says Keeper.

He picks up the empty cup and walks behind the bar counter and begins cleaning it with his cleaning rag.
47
The black stallion looks at all three and nods his head. He opens up the scroll and, in an instant, a large magic rune circle appeared below them. A flash of light begins to envelop the group into a ball of light. Suddenly, both the circle and the ball vanishes from the town.

In a forest West of Equestria, a ball of light appears and then dissipates, releasing the group from the teleportation spell. The group appears to be at the forest border near a mountain range. The black stallion begins to walk towards the mountain. There, sitting near the base is another black stallion with the same mane and eye color, even the same wardrobe. The black stallion says, "It is done, Emural. I have brought the volunteers as you have requested."

"Good," says Emural. "You may go and join the others now. I'm sure Galiant would be pleased to see you."

The black stallion nods and a crimson flame engulfs him, revealing himself as what appears to be a crimson changeling scout drone with a crowned head. With the changeling's wings ready, he launches himself into the sky, flying over the mountain and out of sight. Now the one called Emural stands up and beckons them forward.

The black stallion nods in response to Essence and waits at the spot.

The tavern keeper looks over at Scarlet and replies, "Yes, it is telepathic. Only between the tavern and it's keeper. And you can get free refills if ya asked."

"As I have mentioned before, the tavern is heavily enchanted with multiple upon multiple layers of magic and rune enchantments. You can thank my predecessors for that one. Each previous owner is responsible for at least one or more enchantments placed into this tavern. In fact, I had to place one down for tradition's sake," the tavern keeper replied.

"This place is so enchanted, that the building now has its own behavior core. Luckily enough, that's all it can ever do. So when I say that the tavern feels insulted, it feels insulted. And no, the tavern has no control over the doors. The doors themselves place themselves where they are now because it used to be a spot where no pony would settle near, but now times have changed and I need an updated map to move them all," he said.

He looks over at Flare and says, "Menus change. If you look again, it will change to whatever you food and drink items that are on your mind."

As he said, the menu begins to change to the food and drinks Flare has had or seen in the past. The tavern keeper states, "As for the doors, not my fault some of you went through a wooden door that had the name 'Wanders Tavern' on it or was placed in the same spot as it was thousands of years ago when this place was famous. Besides, I have no control over a tavern like this, especially one so heavily enchanted."

The tavern keeper paused for a bit before saying, "Also, the tavern doesn't like being called weird."
51
The tavern keeper's face seems to grow more annoyed. He says, "Let me rephrase. The tavern is not in its own dimension, it's in the same plane of existence as everything else. The same dimension as the world. I would like it if you would not assume so much. Questions I can deal with; assumptions not so much. I also rather like it that you don't go insulting my tavern."
52
The tavern keepers expression turned annoyed when he heard Onyx. He turns towards Onyx and says, "No, you may not call me 'barkeep'. There is a difference between a bar and a tavern. Second, call me 'Keeper'. Third, this is not a weird trans-dimensional tavern. This tavern is located within this dimension and only this dimension. Fourth, the 'random doorways' aren't random. Finally, if you are going to sing, do it in the corner there."

He tavern keeper points at the open elevated corner that looks to be a stage for entertainers and singers.
53
The menu seems to consist of food and drink items from around the world, including items that Flare has an interest in. The tavern keeper chuckled at her confusion and says, "You aren't the first to come in confused. You certainly won't be the last. I'll answer any questions you got, but first, let's start with drinks. What can I get ya?"
54
The tavern keeper looks up at newcomer and smiles. "Welcome," He says. "Take a seat and I'll be right with you in a moment."

He places down the glass cup on the counter and walks on over to the end of the counter, over by the neatly stack of menus.

Spoiler: show
@B-bop Don't worry, this started a few days ago. Plus this is an open-rp, so it's fine. If this was a serious RP thread, I'd still say the post is good.
55
The tavern keeper exits out of the door with a cup of coffee and a plate of eclair. Since Onyx has yet to find a spot. He places the items on the bar counter. He walks back over to the glass cup and picks it up, resuming to clean it. He looks towards Onyx and says, "If you want the cup of coffee and eclair, best to take it now while it's hot and fresh."
56
The tavern keeper sets down the glass cup and walks towards the door, opening it up. After walking through it, the door closes.
57
The stallion looks at Nightshade and simply said, "Recall point."

Then he looks down, indicating the scroll he has in his hoof.
58
He nods in response to Nightshade's answer. "Yes," he says. "We will wait until the others are ready for departure. Then we will depart in an instant to our destination. There, you will meet the guide who will lead you where you need to go."
59
The black stallion stares for a moment before answering, "Raw ingredients and plants? I do believe the surrounding area near the village has plentiful of them. I do have to consult with a pony to allow it, but I can make it happen. Does that mean you will accept my offer?"
______________

Back at Aqua and Lunar's village. The black stallion waits patiently. He sees one of the three approaching. He soon begins the preparation for departure.

A large black stallion, with eyes of maroon and mane of white and grey, walks towards the town until he spots Essence. The black stallion, remaining ever so calm, walks up to Essence and asks, "Excuse me, I am looking for volunteers to help stop a menace from escaping the confines of its prison and destroys everything it sees, including my village. I would like to ask if you would join and help us seal away this disaster?"
