"Very well." Shade said, then looked to the sky.

She seemed to act like she was feeling something from the sky. She alone feels the rain from the past. A soothing downpour is all she wanted to feel. She feels this in her own way, for she knew not the outside occurrences. At her feet, her shadow seems to blur, and distort, similar to the effects of a puddle. She tries to wash away her sorrow with this feeling, still uncertain of what else to do.


Spoiler: Shadow's Recollection • show
When the shadows are uninfluenced by the outside world, they can recall times they so wish to experience again.

Event: The rain that fell before the time of discord. During the time of Harmony.

[glow=purple,2,300]When nothing shows up, something is down. Still something will always be down. The hope that I will live on... slowly fading. The rain that I once felt, a time that I once knew, slowly diminishing. As the light fades... the darkness floods. Still, I detect more light than before, and yet I detect more madness than before. What is this feeling? Doom on the advance? Joy remaining on the tower? Something more than just the army of the enemy. A spawn of the demons that lurk... within every joint of chaos.[/glow]

[...] When thinking about it here in OOC, think meta. [...]
Think meta... (-.- I do that all the time.) No, you don't. (It is true.) No. You don't.


In truth, Shade actually feels things meta, yet she understands not. (I keep telling you. I think meta, within the shadows at least.) Of course you do. <3 ^-^ <3 Let's just not attempt to set that in stone. (What do the shadows care about the stones? A rock monstrosity attempted to have me for a meal. Do you think I care for stones?) ...not really... still you need to consider stuff, like the landscape. (I observe the land, when I can see it.)
[shadow=beige,right]Don't see this at first did you?[/shadow]
I only hope that the others... (That means you, too. *points at you looking at this post*) can actually think meta, when out of character.
103
Bane... Shade is worried about you getting lost in the land hidden within all space and time, or at least on the way there. The land is dark, thus hidden by the eyes of light. Completely void of chaos, thus same... Has no life, other than the shadow beings, thus hidden from the eyes of order. Every being within the land, knows only their being, and yet Shade can see them. (You have been warned.)
104
Shade returns her gaze back to Bane. "Are you so certain you want to come to a land lost in time? The travel must be done under the veil of the shadow's actions. You might see objects that may not be pleasant. The dreams one has dreamed may become visible. They may be come physical." She looks to the inner parts of the Everfree. "The shadows may consume... or they may deny. One thing is certain. You must clear your mind to enact this journey. The shadows, if you so choose to accept this trek, will take hold. Your magic may weaken, yet your sight will heighten. The shadows one will see... the darkness one will know... the cold one will feel... and the hate all can smell. ...I wish not to take you into the shadows... unless it is urgent. Sickness may overcome you. The odds are not in favor..."

She returns her gaze back to Bane, and says, in an echoing voice, "[shadow=purple,left]We need to go into the depths of the forest... the land no pony has gone before. Somethings may harm... most will ignore.[/shadow]" She then closes her eyes. "[shadow=purple,left]The gods know not... the eyes of light... chaos... and order... see not our kind as different... we are in solitude, forever... forever... lost.[/shadow]"

She opens her eyes. "Choose with everything in mind. Make the decision from the wise."
105
Shade kept looking for something in the distance, shifting her eyes, still blind, and still deaf. "... Something... from within has lessened its hold on me... that might be why I took your hoof... I am still uncertain. ... and still I dare not say that this... mecha is not passed... learning from things I have seen once before... sometimes resting the systems is the best thing to do."

She lowered her head. "The only way we can be free from the clutches of chaos now... is to go to a hidden land... one lost in time... unknown to any being, any time, and any place ever felt by any creature. A place that cannot be corrupt by anything..."

She stops as she starts to sway. Nearly as fast as she started, she stopped. She, then, looked back up. Upon 'sighting' Queb, her eyes seem to dilate. "I detect a change in life nearby... and still I see nothing... nothing more than the darkness the floods my home."
106
Shade seemed to know what was going on, looking over in the direction between Clockwork and Bane, then said, "Did the one named Clockwork just collapse nearby? I am blind and deaf, yet I can still detect beings... and still hear your voice, Bane."

[glow=black,2,300]Ignore his presence, for he was not the one to try to help you.[/glow]

Her eyes seem to be looking for something, shifting back and forth, those vacant eyes. "...I know... something might come back... a life that needs lived... or a soul that needs experience."
107
Shade looks at him, then grabs his hoof, and gets up. Holding her being up without magic, for once. She seems to not notice the 'sudden' change in her magic activity.

"I desire any help I can receive."

[glow=black,2,300]And you get betrayed. Betrayal is something that we need to grow stronger. He will betray you.[/glow]

She seems to be focused on Bane with her vacant eyes, which seem to grow something more than the darkness that resides within.
108
Shade, though deaf, can detect the words from Bane, and stops.

"[shadow=purple,left]I wish not to harm, and I wish not to fear...[/shadow]" tears begin to form as she spoke, "[shadow=purple,left]Thy be never old, still far from young... Nothing can stop me from hearing your words...[/shadow] nothing."

After she stops, she falls over, yet still conscious. She says, "I wish to rid my mind of his influence, yet a part has a grip similar to the roots of trees from ancient times. If I can't... it will forever be latched on, taking advantage, like a virus... like the plague... corrupting my mind... I wish for this to be cleansed..." The tears start coming like a small stream.

[glow=black,2,300]You don't get why you are crying, do you?[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]The thoughts that fill my mind... I wish for you to be gone.[/glow]


"If you could help this shadow... the light... the harmony... the world... no... a friend... is what you will save."

And yes I used 'Notepad' on this post. (They did so. Only using the preview function to check for errors. <> [glow=black,2,300]Like they never do.[/glow]) *throws frying pan once more and knocks them back out* Anypony care for a muffin?

Shade continued to walk toward the Chaos Capitol slightly changing her course as others block her path. Shadow Stepping when they block for long enough, still bound and determined to reach some point that she recalls from her past.

[glow=purple,2,300]This world does not understand my actions, and at this time, nor do I.[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]If you wish to be free, I can help you find that goal within the dark.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]No!! I wish not to follow you and your insanity.[/glow]


Shade seems to turn to Sweet Rock Acres suddenly, then falls to the ground towards the Capitol.

"[shadow=purple,left]Wish not upon the lights in the sky, dream not a better future, nor a better past, imagine not what could have been, for all we dream may be crushed by the life we live.[/shadow]" Shade seems to say before getting back up.

Her path still set for the outskirts of the Capitol near the Everfree Forest. She remains weak while heading that direction. She still hopes for something to encourage her to move in a different path, yet she remains deaf, blind, and numb.

[glow=purple,2,300]We need to solve this problem that we are facing. We need a solution to this madness.[/glow]

[glow=maroon,2,300]And yet we still have no idea the problem.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]We know the problem, but we refuse to solve it. We know not this power that forces this being away from the world it came from.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]We know not the solution, yet we can find the answers.[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]Still you cannot use logic against his mind.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]The idea that you can defeat illogical beings with logical knowledge is not really in favor of becoming the master's will.[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]Which is why you should do it.[/glow]

[glow=maroon,2,300]And that is why we shouldn't.[/glow]


The chaos fragment seems to be there one moment and gone the next, though the magic that is controlling Shade's physical being seems to be natural. Magic that leaves a signature, or trace, not common with Shadechaser. The magic seems weak, yet still apparent. While her horn seems to have a small glow to it. A color that seems to be yellow at times.
111
And Shade had one at the market. (You can only hope the corrupt remain away from the purest of souls. <> [glow=black,2,300]And you can only deny everything we say.[/glow]) *throws five frying pans and knocks Shadefleeter out* (*stares at them* Don't try to wake. You will only hurt yourself more.)
112
At this time, anypony would have the mind set to stop Shade, but she is set on reaching the outskirts of the Chaos Capitol. (That is saying something.)

Sometimes I ask for things, and sometimes... ([glow=black,2,300]You need them?[/glow] <> [glow=purple,2,300]Sometimes you can really sound unintelligent.[/glow] <> [glow=black,2,300]I know. ^-^[/glow] <> [glow=purple,2,300]... >:/[/glow])

"[glow=navy,2,300]Asterian dear what is Shade doing. I sense a chaos fragment near her. Do not let her go near anything overly chaotic. it will make the fragments of chaos stronger.[/glow]"
([glow=black,2,300]How dare ye![/glow]) ...you still don't make any sense. (I second that emotion.)
113
After a moment, Shade's being rises in weakness. Her mane covering her eyes as she walks in a direction that seems most illogical, straight to the Chaos Capitol. With any attempt at a loss, while she still remains deaf and numb. She weakly travels toward the Capitol.

[glow=purple,2,300]These thoughts... these feelings... never been so closed... never been so alone...[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]You don't need anything other than his lord. Nothing that follows logic, and nothing that makes sense.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]And if I follow, then what? Will I feel less pain, or will I have to suffer, feeling something I am not?[/glow]
114
Shadechaser is currently in a weak state. Any influence she may consider, if it is within her mind, that is. (We are weak. We stand on shaky ground. <> [glow=black,2,300]And yet I remain strong.[/glow])

Laserbolt backed up again, upon seeing Shade's shadow moving.

Woah, Asterian, I wouldn't touch the girl. I think she's infected with something. Probably Nightmares.
lol :] (Are you so certain?)
115
Shade was lying in the middle of a triangle of three trees that seem to stare at her, or as Asterian would see.

Shade's mind was feeling alone, in solitude. Slowly fading away from her mind. She was as cold as the blizzard's heat, as warm as the deepest parts of the outer reaches in the sky, and as lump as a doll without any support. She felt like she was the only one that had hope, seeing nothing more than the darkest reaches of the forest in her eyes. Her mind lost within the sound that still rings in her soul. The sound that still vibrates her ears. She can only stare forward, for the magic she felt left as the sound washed over her.

"[shadow=purple,left]I can see nothing. I can hear nothing. I can feel nothing. I am deaf. I am nothing more than a blind shadow. The light seems to fade from sight as the dark floods my vision.[/shadow]"

Shadechaser is not able to react to anything that is from the outside. Unable to notice any aura that is in front of her. She can only hear voices in her head.

[glow=red,2,300]Come... come and see what we have become...[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]Where...?[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]In the light.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]I see no light.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]You wish not to see it. Try harder.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]I wish not to see the light. The fear overcomes my mind.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Then fight the fear. Fight the pain. Fight for your place.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]I ...can't... no longer do I wish to be a part of this world.[/glow]

[glow=maroon,2,300]And yet they need you. They need something to help. Something to follow. Something that remains calm in the face of danger.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]Still, the fear of that creatures presence lurks.[/glow]

[glow=maroon,2,300]Remain vigilant, stand strong, and never back down.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]They need you. One stands near. One still hopes you remain.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]The fear can't become that of a feather. That of a leaf in the wind.[/glow]

[glow=maroon,2,300]We deserve to remain a mark on this world. A point that once has, and still remains.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]The times that I wish for better...[/glow]

[glow=maroon,2,300]... are the times that you should look back upon. Reach back to the time before his rule... reach back before discord...[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]Do not ask for forgiveness, and care not for the weak. Care not for the appearance, and wish not for redemption. Wish not for the times before, because it will never end.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]... those times... those wishes... those fears... make my progress... I desire not fear... and I desire not this pain... I care not for his madness... still remain vigilant[/glow]

Her shadow pulses with the darkness, growing darker, yet returning constantly.
116
Shadechaser started to hear the scream that came from Clockwork. She tried to look in the direction it came from, but she suddenly fell to her side. [glow=purple,2,300]That sound... is it from... where did it come... thoughts of fear... thoughts of hurt...[/glow] She thought as she lied in place.

She tried to call out for help, saying, "[shadow=purple,left]Help...[/shadow]" with the echos fading fast. Her mind yet to recover, her soul weakened, and her body without magic. Fear rushed over her bringing a cold breeze that constantly flowed down her back.

"[shadow=purple,left]Anypony... help...[/shadow]" and yet her cries were unanswered by any creature near, yet could be heard by any being that has eyes and ears everywhere.


((Any response would be grateful, except by the group that is in a hurry to reach a location.))
117
As Shadechaser walks through the forest, she notices that most, if not all, of the trees have the same style. She eventually spots a tree that she once knew. It was an average Everfree tree at first glance, but there was an aura signature that still remains faint, yet noticeable. After looking over it, she seems to know what this relates to.

[glow=purple,2,300]Something here... a memory... a corrupt land... never truly solid... though never truly gone. A memory of how... the strings came to my shadow...[/glow]

She closes her eyes as she feels the tree's bark. Soon after, she returns to her walk. Continuing down the path she once took. Memories start to come, and the feelings of solitude soon diminish. She remains out of sight of the physical beings, and keeping her guard up, while relaxing as she remembers a time before... a time that exists in her own soul.

The slightest sound would make her instantly defensive, yet the memories ease her mind still remaining a pleasant occurrence that she only feels. Her mind starts to play some parts, as an act would on a stage. A tour ready to see the forest... Doors slamming shut... Laughter for a blob... Dragon who desired more than just a gem... A pony that was rejected... soon to be accepted...

[glow=purple,2,300]The times change as the rhymes stay. We desire not full power. We can choose our path. The lines that are drawn in the dirt... masked, covered, and hidden. The hooves that mark the path... seem to never follow the wrath.[/glow]

Shade stops and stands for a moment. [glow=purple,2,300]The thoughts that task... the riddles that mask... We can only see what we desire to. Leaving other things in question... First impressions are something, but we can always change.[/glow]

[shadow=purple,left]We can only see the darkness as the light has left. Still, we remain... dark... and broken... the light may fade, but we choose to stay.[/shadow]

If you so desire Magus, you can have something trigger the 'small' fragment within Shadechaser's psyche that may cause her to go find ([shadow=gray,left]Master[/shadow]) Discord. (Oh, no, you don't want that. <> [glow=black,2,300]Oh, but I do-[/glow] <> -I didn't ask you.) *throws frying pan and misses* ([glow=black,2,300]You missed your target.[/glow] <> [glow=purple,2,300]What did we do to this one?[/glow]) I don't remember.

119
"[shadow=purple,left]I don't think you include this...[/shadow]" She starts to look over Unit 503. "[shadow=purple,left]...being.[/shadow]"

She turns, and walks back to the corner. "[shadow=purple,left]If we start heading out, I will follow. Just let your will take over.[/shadow]"

She rests in the corner, lying down. She seems to be chanting something as she rests. The words are as foreign as the knowledge of the one who speaks the words. She raises her head as she finishes, and her shadow seems to grow darker, then fades back to its normal contrast.

[glow=purple,2,300]The actions that I once knew are coming back like the winter every loop... and the summer.[/glow] She thought as she kept her head raised.
120
...Well...! (They left in a hurry, ignoring the shadow, that just left.) We will roll with it.
