As Zeila slowly made her way through the dark woods the quiet night air, the simple cries of the forest creatures the almost eerie light of the moon shinning through the tree branches, the sounds of her walking made a rather interesting mood for her. To most the atmosphere and the ever present feeling of eyes watching you walk would make most ponies scream and run back into town after only a snap of a tree branch, though Zeila showed no such fear. She made way down a path that was leading towards a large clearing . Zeila would let out a sigh of relief as she made her way into the clearing, "I do love coming out here on such a clear night no one else around, need for me to hide, I can almost be calm." She says placing her bags on the ground near her with her magic she then turned back towards the path that she had come down, all her focus would soon be on that path her horn soon glowed with a slight purple tint as a mist soon started to form down the path making it a little difficult to navigate. "This should make it a little easier to have some quiet time for myself anyway."
(Sorry if it is weird been a while)

Cherry didn't like the dark, it was apparent just how fast her hooves moved as she trotted quickly after Pivot. The large dog just having a NEED to be out in the woods at this time. It made her wonder why she even got a dog! Unable to stay to mad at the big lug as she stuck close to him, holding a leash tightly in her mouth as the dog tried its best to pull her forward. A small hiss from her lips escaping her as she tried to steady him pulling the leash out to hold it. " pivot! Don't rush or we are going home! " Her words falling on empty ears as the dog never understood her. Simply wagging its tail as it began to stall. A mist with purple tint rolling over the paths.
It began to spook Cherry, pulling at Pivot to come with her. " P-Pivot c'mon lets go home. " The dog again not listening as it began to run off down into the mist. Cherry panicking as she quickly chased after him trying to catch the leash. " Get back here! Pivot! "
Racing down the blurred path barely able to even see Pivot as this point as she found herself getting more and more lost. " I am going to murder that mutt when I find him. " Grumbling as she began to walk tiredly, noticing a clearing in the distance. She needed to get out of this mist, needed to focus her head and find that damn dog.

Zeila continued to let the mist slowly roll down the paths knowing many ponies don't try to come into the woods when the creepy fog starts to roll down the paths. As she sits there in the clearing her eyes closed as the winds and the occasional silence enveloped her almost nothing was going to break her out of her trance at least until she heard foot steps coming up the path."What, who is coming down here this time of night?", she says quickly getting to her feet she slowly backs up a bit more. Her horn would begin to glow again making the clearing slowly enveloped in even thicker mist making it almost impossible for anyone to see once in there.
She would slowly back up waiting to see who is so brave to come this deep into the woods even with the eerie mist that she sent down the path,"Who is it and what do they want?" She says to herself lowering her body closer to the ground,"Did someone find me out here? Are they going to chase me out of town?" Her mind began to race while waiting as the steps got closer and closer to the clearing.

Great! The mist got worse! Feeling her eyes get more clouded as she came near the center. At this rate she was as blind as a bat. Pivot barking in the far distance as Cherry tried to go towards the noise. But despite her best efforts it echoed in the woods making it difficult to pinpoint. Feeling herself step at least into the vast clearing. Though now it was worse than the woods. The thickest of the odd mist enveloping the area. " Why are these woods so strange...." Murmuring softly to herself as she took more steps in. Mabye darting across the center she could try to find him on the other side of the area? Finding it at least her best choice as she trotted a bit quicker. It was spooky in the mist, finding herself nervous.
" P-Pivot? PIVOT? Come here boy! " Giving a meek shout which sounded almost at a normal tone as she gave a bit of a dash now across the clearing. Blinded by the mist to forget the fact there were trees to welcome her on the otherside as she ran head first into one. Instantly retracting as she rubbed the top of her head. " O-Ow! "

Zeila listened from the edge of the clearing as the footsteps got faster and some pony was yelling for someone though the voice sounded familiar enough that she slowly started to walk back into the clearing before hearing something hit one of the nearby trees and stumble back. The closer she got she started notice the shape and it did seem a even more familiar. Though as she was getting closer to the other creature something started to run up behind her rather quickly, her ears would flick and she would turn her head in time to see some black figure running through the fog and start to bark at her. She would let out a scream and start to run in a bit of a panic.
At this point her concentration for the fog was gone and the mist illusion would start start to disappear around the clearing and the path her cries of fear and panic were so loud they echoed throughout the forest. It didn't take long before the mist was completely gone and the creature chasing her was revealed to be a dog though that didn't stop her from trying to run even more.

All cherry could feel was pain, particular in the center of her forehead. Giving a loud ouch as she gave a little stumble to the ground. Holding her head in pain as she could hear loud thuds running towars the center. That had to be pivot! Tryin to dull the pain for a moment as she heard a shriek, a unfamiliar one as she stood up instantly. Was that what pivot ran off for? Someone else was here? She tried to run towards the sound, noticing the fog began to clear, the mist slowly giving sight again as she noticed two shadows running about in circles. One she could instantly tell was Pivot and the other what seemed like a tall mare? IT was familiar a little though all pony slooked the same in the fog.
Running after them as this caused a whole commotion. The group going around in circles as Pivot gave chase to the other mare. Wanting nothing more than friendship as he barked happily to the fun. The other two ponys disagreeing as Cherry tried to stop the big lug and the other mare ran in terror. Finally the mist disapeering completely as Cherry tackled into Pivot to grab hold the dog. " Pivot stay boy! Don't you run off like that! " The dog whining yet wagging its tail against the ground. Cherry letting go of the hound as she ran to try and calm the other mare. " Im sorry! I-I am! " Her attempts of apologies still quiet as the mare seemed panicked to possibly even listen.

Zeila continued to run her breathing getting heavy all her legs were starting to tire wanting to give out from beneath her as she runs from the canine. Soon the barking stopped she would slowly come to a stop sitting on the ground breathing heavily and fast as she tries to catch her breath. As she sits there the familar voice would be heard. She continued to try and catch her breath tensing up a bit as she was afraid to turn around and face the pony,"Your..c-creature scared me...m-m-make sure to keep up with it more...little one." She says unconsciously.
Now that the mist had dissipated the light of the moon was shinning down on the three of them, giving a bit of light to show off more details of the area including the many horns on Zeila's head and her color of her fur and mane.

Cherry could barely keep up with her despite how fast she was! Finding herself out of breath as she slowed down. Sitting to catch herself up as she finally noticed the other mare do the same. " S...Sorry....." Still out of breath as she got up coming over to be sure Pivot didn't do anything to her. Taken a bit aback though when the moon shown down on the center, reveling just exactly who she was talking to.
Noticing the many horns and color of her fur and mane. The colors weren't to off setting though despite being odd. It was the horns and tails that got her, even her hoofs were a bit more deer like in their apperance. She couldn't help be weary, wouldn't anyone in her position? But that voice still seemed familiar and trying to keep herself a brave front despite the fear she felt she took a step forward again determind to at least stay on the mares good side. " It was hard with the...mist..." Looking towards the side at Pivot who saw no diffrence in the mare like Cherry did.

Zeila gave a wince as the small pony had stepped towards her it was a just a knee jerk reaction to her at this point. As she tried to avoid making direct eye contact with her but again her voice echoed in her head as it did sound very familiar it took a bit as she scooted back a little her eyes slowly looking down at the pony that had made it this far into the forest. Her breathing would calm down a little but her body remained tensed,"Wh-what are you doing here? D-did you know I was here?", she says trying to calm down a little, but after that little exercise that she received from the dog her heart and mind were still pumping fast.
She continued to look at the pony her mind slowly remembering and recalling the figure, the voice, the colors, the height,"Wait...you were that small pony that was in the marketplace this morning." She says slowly rising to her feet and taking a half hearten step forward.

It felt like forever before the mare turned to her finally. Watching the mare stand but appear much taller than her and looking down at her. She couldn't help but examine her eyes as well, they were far from the same as hers and even glowed! Just what was this pony? Simply staring back at her as both stood tense towards one another. Though for other reasons. Nodding no quickly to her questions as she took a small nod towards Pivot. " I was on a walk with my dog..he tends to like going to the forest for walks...though today he was insistant to go out now instead of wait in the mornig..." Giving the do a scolding look falling on no effet as she huffed a little.
Glancing back blinking in suprise to being pointed at the market this morning. A confused look striking her face before it clicked and still seemed a bit taken aback. " Oh yeah...were..you the pony in the cloak? " She could see why now. Especially with a pony like claire around she would've wanted to hide in a cloak too. A small step taken forward towards her as she took one in mimic. " When I was trying to find my hat...? Sorry you...saw that...scene. "

She listened for a few minutes as her eyes continued to look over the mare in front of her and it was indeed the small pony from this morning who was looking for her hat. Zeila calmed down a little bit but still was on guard. Her mouth opened slowly only to close in hesitation, but then opened again,"Uh yes I was....there...I was the one in the...cloak..who..helped you." Her head slowly turning away letting some of her bangs fall in front of her face, like her cloak before hiding her face, as she revealed how she knew her.
She turned her head down a little before looking back to her,"I'm...sorry I didn't...do more..for you." She said softly her left hoof brought up slowly to move a bang out of her face as her eyes remained looking down at the ground. Her mind unsure of how the mare would react finally seeing the pony that had helped with the situation that morning.

She could tell that hesitation, at least from knowing it as she felt the same. Feeling a bit more calmed that it was someone at least she met before and one who helped her as she. A small sigh escaping her in relief as Pivot welcomed to join them and sit wagging his tail. " I am sorry about Pivot again..he gets easily excited and times I can't catch up...." Feeling a bit bad for scaring someone who helped her so badly as the mare turned from her.
Suprised by her words when she felt bad for not helping more. Giving a quick nod to tell her it was okay. " No No you...did more than anyone else would've so I am grateful...not to many ponys help me you know? Kinda...avoid me. So um...I really am thankful. Even if it ended badly..." Looking up at her assuringly. Though this pony was strange to her, heck was this even a pony? She still wasn't going to try to judge so quickly especially with someone who was kind to her. " Do you...hide out here a lot? That must be troublesome.." A little concern in her voice as she looked around the darkened woods. Who knew what laid out here besides them?

"Oh uh no I don't hide out here...not really", her eyes looked away from the small pony not out of any emotion but more as a habit for Zeila to not make too much eye contact unless it is for her fortune telling gigs. "And..to a extent...it is only troublesome when...I don't use my illusions or when the timberwolfes come here." She slowly looked over at the small pony beginning to fidget a little as she started to bring up the courage to say something."My...my name is Zeila and I am a soulcrown pony." She says with a bit of hesitation waiting for her reaction in hopes it didn't come back to bit her in the flank.

Oh god timberwolves, the name alone sending a shiver through cherry. Though she was suprised that Zelia wasn't afraid out here. She would be if she was out here...though with how she looked it could explain why? The idea of what she was exactly still troubled cherry as it rattled in her brain. Lightly scratching at her cap as they talked with a confused expression. " Illusions...? Like the mist? " she must be a good magician at least to make such things.
Both still fidgeting a bit as she finally introduced herself. Cherry slapping her own mind for not doing the same first since after all she gave this pony a heart attack. " Ah...I'm Cherry Flip...nice to meet you...? " Confused again as she tried to figure out what a soulcrown was....was it cause her horns looked like a crown? Was she a queen? A queen of souls? Thinking seriously as her face twisted into a concentrated apperance before she assumed to bow infront of her. After all she had a crown thats what you do right?

Her expression shifted from concern to confused as Cherry Flip introduced herself then bowed down in front of her,"Uh Cherry darling you don't have to bow down." She says leaning down towards the little pony. Watching her a little Zeila let out a soft giggle,"I am not royalty though it is kind of funny seeing a pony suddenly bow down to me like that." Another chuckle leaving her lips as she seems to calm down a little. "Allow me to explain a little I am no royalty or some deity of souls, I am a race of pony know as a Soulcrown, we usually live up in the northern most mountains in large cave like cities.", her hoof would rise and point to the horns on her head. "These horns on our head are usually what tells us apart from other ponies aside from eyes and how we gather magic."
