Shadows of a Fallen World [Chapter 1, Sorrowed Ruins] Sign Up RP

[Lusterless Nova]

Incognito heads straight to the book.
Incredible. We must have some insane luck that one book is still in a good condition.
...
After holding it for a moment he hooves it to Shard.
Here. You have to read it.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

Inside the building its still a wreck, the interior mostly destroyed vines and moss growing, and plants which you would normally find deep in the wilds have begun to grow, the path to the stiars isn't an easy one since a lot has fallen and grown, making the path there harder, however strangest of all the layout of the room from what Forget Me Not remembers is reversed the counter though flipped is on the other side of the room, the stairs on the left over the right and shelves moved around.

[PPBG]

Shard takes the book and opens it.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

The book opens as a cloud of dust comes flying out, not the normal dust though this stuff is light blue and crystalline, the beginning of a spell perhaps, it scatters and as it goes up into the air the room begins to, turn dark as stars shine on the roof as if the night sky had broken through.
Then a melody echoes throughout the building extending itself out to the rest of the town quieting as it gets further out, played softly on the sound of a piano

Spoiler: music playing • show

[/spoler]

[PPBG]

Shard looks at the crystalline dust and the transformed roof in awe. "Wow... That's beautiful."

[Lusterless Nova]

Incognito only hears the sound. He pays attention to the music.
Indeed. But... I'm not sure what it means. It sounds sad, but it also gives me a feeling of hope.

[PPBG]

"Mmh? Any thoughts on the ceiling? Very interesting spell or enchantment to make the ceiling like that." Shard thinks back to the 'new' outside world. "And compared to what it's like outside right now, I doubt the world has seen anything like the night sky recently, going with your time travel theory."

[Lusterless Nova]

After hearing the first sentence Incognito scratches the back of his head.
Sorry but... I can't see it.
He sounds sad while speaking.
Something about what shard said seemed to have hit a nerve.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

As the music plays the book begins to glow and read itself out a single set of pages read in a mare's voice soft, quite and sad almost as if a confession, but it reads oddly as if the magic couldn't read the faded words and the book itself was fragmented and the sentences split

"Im sorry, Im sorry, I didn't intend for .... I  it this was all, it is all .... wrong..... im sorry ...  This ... Accursed place.... it ....we ..... all should have fallen...... all should be gone .... all should Burn .... but its not my place to decide.. its not my world to condemn.... its not mine to save..... its going to end ... we .. it ... all ... its all to late... this is the final words, I couldn't save them .. I couldn't save me.... I couldn't save the friendship...."


The words cut off in a horrible screeching laughter, it rises in volume shattering what's left of the glass in the building, before all falls silent the stars and the sky, burst together changing from night to flame creating a ball of burning light before exploding and flying towards the book, burning it up leaving nothing but ash behind, the flames that touch Shard were not hot, they were cold as if frozen, it made even the Ice user Shard feel cold before the book finally dropped to the floor in a cloud of dust

[PPBG]

Shard just stares at the book, or at least what was left of it."...I'm sorry, I didn't know that you couldn't see." Shard says apologetically. "And... " Shard's voice trails off. There is nothing on his mind but confusion, as he tries to sort it out.

[Lusterless Nova]

Incognito jumps back the moment he feels something coming from above.
After that he goes closer to the remains of the book.
Don't worry about it. I'll tell you later about it.
What did just happen? First there is that message, then a scream breaks pretty much every glass in here and then i just felt something very soft falling on the ground.

[Coffee Rush]

The pony down below, in the overgrown and broken down town hall was momentarily shocked from the windows shattering. His hooves immediately slid into an offensive stance. He quickly turned around, his eyes scanning the walls, and now broken windows.

[GalvinRoe]

 Clarissa jumped out of soiled bed-sheets.  She had absconded into the bed sheet previously, this world . . . it wasn't pony-ville, it wasn't RIGHT! The dusty sheets were all over debris, but Clarissa hadn't even THOUGHT about that when she saw the complete state of the room. Then . . . a churling cackle pierced through the room, the sheer pitch and volume brought the remainder of the east wall down. Then the light bulb burst, shatered hot glass rained down across the room.

Then horror upon horrors. The sky . . . it burned as bright as an inferno. Clarissa's eye's watered as the dark shadow of eternal night fell over the town. "The stars, THE STARS!" She wailed, crashing against the wall, in a fruitless attempt to escape the world. Her screaching did nothing to save her from the painful crashing of the bed, as her sudden movement tore the remainder of it's frame apart. Her head crashed against the wall and she fell dazed to the floor.

The burning sky had focused down on the city hall and Clarissa gave up all hope. Her world was over, she'd let herself fall into unconsciousness again and maybe she wouldn't wake up, that wouldn't be so bad .  . .

[PPBG]

"Well, when I opened the book, some odd, crystalline dust arose from it. The book then started to play music, as you heard, and it also cast the image of a night sky," Shard said. He paused, not entirely sure about Incognito wanting to know visuals. "And then... we heard the book read itself. Then it...laughed a laugh to break glass and the night-sky image turned into a ball of fire that crashed into the book and made it fall to the ground." The last sentence sounded confused, considering Shard didn't entirely know what happened himself.

[Lusterless Nova]

Incognito poked with his hoof to where the book should have been. But the only thing he feels is dust.
So to sum it up... Our only clue was turned to dust.
Great. So much for having luck.

But this might become useful after all. Let's write it down, just in case.
He goes to the shelves and searches around for some sheets of paper.
Now all we need is some ink. Is some in there?
He points with his hoof to the ink pot at the table where he found the book.

[PPBG]

Shard levitated the ink pot to them to look inside.

[cloudandis]

Glancing at the counter where her mother had last put one of the flowers, her eyes welled up a bit. How had such a lovely day become a horrid nightmare? Her ears perked, hearing movement up the stairs- or what was left of the second floor. That was where the light emitted from. Her hooves itched a bit, touching the wild plants that grew. She attempted to remove some of the boards that were in her way, but the vines and tendrils growing around them were stronger than they looked. She could see a hint of feral blue orchids growing where the back of the shop had once been, yet they looked frail. Lack of sunlight must have stunted their growing any further....

[Ryo_D_Disk]

The bottle shard picks up, is a small dark blue vile, the glass was Translucent with what was the black ink showing on the inside, but tipping or even looking in the bottle showed a lump of solidified black goo to the eye, which would not come out in its current state, on the base of the bottle a small seal a manufactures mark, for a kingdom not familiar to that of ponyville

[rhyme writer]

Rhyme approached the shop slowly. "Did you find anypony?" he called out. He walked in and headed up the stairs. He saw Forget looking at a bunch of the blue flowers as he stood at the doorway of the room. There wasn't a single other soul there it seemed. He put two and two together and realized what was wrong. "I'm so sorry." That was all he could manage to say. He had a knack for empathy, it helped him write stories, but right now, he felt unimaginable sadness. He had no other words to come up with then so it was all he could do to apologize for the other pony's loss.

[bleyd]

D D stumble with Rhyme

""ohh sorry was following a pony who sped off and listen you, you know where she has gone?""
