[glow=navy,2,300]" He seems to have been here for a ... long time. But the thing is, where is 'here'? Where was this place before The Mist and why is it near Ponyville now?"[/glow]

(( I say in the fabric of time.))

[sorikuXIII]

Maybe it wants somepony to finally figure out what is going on here.

[PPBG]

Shard sighs. [glow=navy,2,300]" Maybe..."[/glow]

"Here? I thought you knew. We are near the mountains that block the icy winds of the Frozen North. You can tell by the constellations. Where did you think we were? Ponyville?"Candi asked and laughed.

[PPBG]

[glow=navy,2,300]" I... I haven't had a chance to look outside after we entered but... I'm pretty sure we were in the Everfree forest, a forest near Ponyville. I think that this house can teleport."[/glow]

[sorikuXIII]

Wow a teleporting house. This place just got so much cooler in my book.

[PPBG]

  [glow=navy,2,300]" Yea, a teleporting house with undead roaming the halls."[/glow]

[sorikuXIII]

Details details.. he said waving a hoof at the small stuff.

"I hate to break this to you, but this house can't move. If you saw it in the Everfree Frorest, then there is something much more powerful at work than a bunch of spirits and a monster. But that does give more basis to my guess that the creature is a portal. Or at least is part of a portal."

[sorikuXIII]

We still have no clue what this is, does, or why it made Lily ill if it was the one that did it and we aren't getting any closer to answering any of those at this point either.

"Then why don't you ask her?"said a filly's voice. It was the same one that had spoken not to long ago. The filly dressed in white sat behind them, between the adventurers and the door to the foyer. "I'm Rose. I hear you've been looking for me?"

[sorikuXIII]

Moonlight's ear flickered then he turned around noticed the filly in white. So you're Rose?

[rhyme writer]

"Yes, I'm Rose. I heard Candi's voice. I take it you found her? Poor thing, because she put her all into keeping that diary, she now lives in it. And she had such a large gap in her memory that I had to fill in the missing pieces."

[PPBG]

[glow=navy,2,300]" Yes, we found her... So, little miss, would you mind telling us what happened to Lily?"[/glow]
Shard looked at the filly, waiting to hear her response.

[rhyme writer]

"Mr. Shadow got her. She shouldn't have let him in the house, but she did and went crazy and died. I died last. What about you? Why are you here? Its a long way from Ponyville. Though I could understand Miss Rigor coming here. She does like dead things."

[sorikuXIII]

Rigor doesn't just like dead things..she's entranced by them given her job and talent. Now as for this Mr. Shadow why did Lily befriend him anyway?

[rhyme writer]

"That, Mr. Moonlight, I do not know. She never told me. But, I'm sure that when you find her, things might start making sense."

[sorikuXIII]

I sure hope so Rose since things haven't made sense up til now. Before we go, do you have any idea where she may be?

[InsaneMar]

"I'm afraid Moonlight is right, I don't like dead things.  I love them," she grinned and stepped forward enjoying the conversation.  After all, hasn't she always wished she could communicate with the dead?  "Though usually when they are dead they don't speak.  Rose," she started, "We learned how your sister Lilly died.. the filly in the red dress, how did you?"

[FlameandIce]

((What did I miss))
