| When Umbra went over to get a stool, she was met with a deep glare from all the guards as she was being addressed by their superior and she had turned away to act as she pleased, though many hesitated to actually stop her without command as they were still very wary of her and now her better revealed morbid golem as well; Some feared even touching her. Sugary could tell the looks in their eyes, but the most he could do was to urge her to come back right away and scold her once she sat down in a low but stern voice. "Umbra!! Have some respect, we're being judged by the Prince right now! I know you're tired, but ask for these things first!!"
The guards were all at the beck and call of Shining Armor at any time, but Sugary hoped he could speak up before anything got out of hand quickly. "Please forgive my companion, it's been a rough evening. As for me, my name is Sugary Market. Traveling adventurer, and Mercenary. And we really were just intent on visiting casually, but then those things showed up from who knows where... I was actually hoping you might know something about them." | |

| Prince Shining Armor narrowed his eyes to the two ponies standing in front of him, one of them now sitting. He still wasn't quite over her... physique as of yet, but he managed to keep his demeanor stoic when he adressed her.
"Miss Nightshade, I am Prince Shining Armor, and I have come here to investigate the claims telling of offenders that have used dark magic against my stallions... among other things. On all of which stand a severe punishment,” he said, his gaze stern.
Then, his gaze softened. "But... I do recognize the seal, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt… and the same goes to your companion.” He nodded towards Sugary Market.
“Though…” he continued frowning lightly, “you will have to be a little more… specific than ‘those’. I can’t just –“
Right at that moment, a guard burst in. “Your Highness! There has been an attack!” His head shot up. “What?”
The panting guard took a short moment to regain his breath. “There… There were shadows, everywhere… they attacked in the outer ring of the city… many stallions were hurt badly!”
Shining narrowed his eyes. “Do you know why they were attacking?”
The guard shook his head. “No sir… they seemed to attack at random!”
He nodded curtly and turned back to the two companions. “I take it these were the monsters you were referring to... How did you hold them off?”

| She had really hoped that the shadows that had attacked the three of them had been the only ones around, but she should have known that vermin always travelled in packs, and when one rat attack were there a dozen more hiding somewhere else. Had the tired guard not spoken so loudly about how the shades were unprovoked attacking the town at random, innocents getting up hurt without any aggression shown towards them, would Umbra honestly not cared so much to help... willingly and without any talk of a fee for the information that would be given that is.
"My lord prince, without seeing these attackers first hand can I not say anything with full certainty, but just as you would I guess that it is the same type of creature there now are attacking your town as they have attacked my companion and I." So long so good, now to the part there wasn't so good. "It is with the deepest regret that I will have to say that I personally can't deliver any effective means against this scourge. The tools and techniques that I myself used to hold the creatures at bay are not ones easily mastered, or easily taught to others for that matter. The most that I can offer at this point in time would be to enchant enough weapons so you can arm a small platoon of your guard with something that actually would be effective against this enemy compared to their ordinary iron weapons."
What she said had been true, each and every word of it, which she hoped the prince would hear in her serious voice. But just because she had told the truth did that not that she had told the whole truth. She could technically do more, just at a price too high for her to pay on her own, and she were not willing to reveal now, or at all for that matter, just where she drew her power from. | |

| Sugary was about to share more information regarding the shadow creatures, but the guard that barged in seemed to bring in both what he was sorta going for as well as something he feared would happen. He held his tongue as Umbra gave information, but spoke out soon after she was done, looking down to her with worry. "Umbra, if you really must resort to enchantments, at least let me aid you on the task." He had hoped she understood his reasoning as to why, since to him, she looked worn out and had already cautioned him about not using magic so close to the Crystal Heart lest she get a backlash from it.
He looked to Shining afterwards with an adamant look to his gaze. "... I know of enchanting weapons temporarily, but what I'm really wanting to offer is myself as proof that we're not here to cause trouble. I did say I'm a Mercenary, so I'll be more than happy to fight the monsters in exchange for our freedom." He was still feeling somewhat drained by then, but taking no action would be much worse; He'd sooner face evil with his bare knuckles and hooves than let it take over.
To show his willingness to the Prince and Guard Captain, he let his horn and eyes shine; A unspoken message from one unicorn to another of his will, followed by extending a friendly arm towards him for a hearty shake. "Besides... Isn't protecting the innocent what you'd do as well, Sir Knight?" | |

| Shining Armor listened closely and contemplated their claims carefully. As Market extended his hoof, he allowed a small smile to his facial features and shook his hoof. "Of course, protecting the innocent is my number one goal."
Then, his gaze turned stoic. "Alright then..." He gestured to his guards and they stood to attention, stepping closer to the two companions. "We will escort you to another chamber where you can work with the weapons. Then, you will come with us and help us track down and destroy the shadows as much as we can, as well as find out where they are from."
The guards looked at the two companions. Shining turns away, and as if with an afterthought, he turned back again. "In the meantime... even though you have the benefit of the doubt... please, convince me that you are not here to 'cause trouble'. I hate to lock ponies away, but I would do it in a heartbeat to ensure the safety of my ponies."
And with that, he turned around and marched out of the room, the remaining guards ushering the two companions to stand up. | |

| And thus, dead tired, were Umbra ushered from her seat and had to walk once more, her beginning to become really tired of this new trend of having to move from one place to another so often. She knew that the practice of using sedan chairs were rather outdated in most parts of the world, but maybe could she be lucky just once and get her hands on one after their work at the castle were done.
"Fine fine, just rush a lady out of her seat in the exact same instance that she are getting comfortable. Its not like I just have battled with shades from another realm of existence and need to catch my breath, or will have to do so again just moments after I have helped your lot out with your weapons..." It did not lay to Umbra to be grumpy, groaning and smart mouthing in such a manner, something that Sugary should know by now, but Umbra was neither fully herself right now. She hated the feeling she had of having a knife to her throat as a punishment for something that had been out of her hands from the day that she had entered this world. She knew in advance that she would have to bargain with the Prince, or not the Prince exactly just whoever there were in charge, but she had really not expected that her abilities, abilities that the Prince and his people had dire need for, would be weighted so heavily against her that threats would be so openly uttered and thrown in her face after such a civil display of manners!
"I do not know how your guard works, or with which weapons how many are armed with, but bring me only swords, spears and pikes, working my magic on arrows and bolts or axes or what else would have next to no effect, so don't waste my time, sweat and blood on those." Her barking the order at whoever there seemed to be next highest in command of those they had been left with. Her tone softening as she turned her attention to her companion. "Are you certain that you so willingly will offer up your aid in the enchanting process Sugary? You know that the magic can be quite... taxing" Her brow lifted high as she spoke the last word, and the rest of her facial features trying to give her words more weight to make up for the words that she couldn't say openly in front of the others.

| Sugary nodded silently after graciously shaking hands with Shining, taking his warning to heart. He wasn't so different from the Guard Captain, having done patrol work before. Sometimes, it was inevitable to have to apprehend the not-so-malignant lest the lesson not be learned.
When Umbra spoke up, he was quick to return to her side soon after, giving her a little smile in return, speaking softly. "Like you're one to talk, Miss Wanting To Get Comfortable. We both know there's a price to pay one way or another, so we don't have to pretend this will be easy... Besides, it's better we do give them a fighting chance by making ordinary tools extraordinary. I might not even have to be in the front lines if they do well enough with just our enchantments alone for that matter... So, let's just get this over with and show them we mean business..." And then, this time, he extended a friendly arm for Umbra to shake gently. "This was supposed to be a pleasant trip in town after all. It's the least I can do to make up for... inconveniences." | |

| Shortly after, the two were seated in a room, unlike the other they had just left. This new room was dark, only lit by a few torches. A wooden table with a few chairs in front of it was situated in the middle of the room. On the walls were racks with spears, crossbows, swords and other weapons. Shining Armor nodded at the guards and they retreated to the shadows cast by the torches. He gestured to the two companions to sit down on one of the chairs.
"This room carries only a small part of the armory," Shining started. "Most of these are spares or second-hand weapons that are still deemed well enough for battle." He pulled a sword out of its sheath, carried by one of the racks. It was obviously used, the blade slightly chipped in some places, but it was well-kept and still quite sharp. He put the sword on the table in front of the two companions. "I hope this will be sufficient to work with."
He smiled. "After you are done, you can rest. I can imagine the strain of enchanting." | |

| In reality could they had brought her sticks for all Umbra cared, so long as they left the stones at home. A sharp edge or pointy end without magical assistance would do just as much harm against these shades as one could with those tools against ones own shadow, so as the weapons were presented to her did just nod approvingly, not that she would have noticed the tear and wear that the prince mentioned on her own without having him pointed out, one crude iron stick looked exactly like the in her eyes.
"So long the numbers are there will it have to do. Now the enchantment that I am going to bind to these swords are simple in theory, but the praising are complicated. The weapons will work as traps and prisons for the shades, all that your guards will have to do is to hit the shades until all of their essence is trapped within the metal. Do just keep in mind that as with all other prisons will these ones have a certain capacity as well, and when that threshold are reached will the weapons no longer by of effect against the shades." As she came with her warning hopes she that it would be heed, both for the sake of the guards going out to battle the scourge, and her own as any loss properly would be blamed on her in some way or another. It was not the first time that she had helped armies with magical weapons, this was just the first time she had done it so openly, and she knew from experience that many a stallion saw themselves as warriors rivalling those of legend of old when they got a magical weapon in their hand, seeing themselves invincible with their added boost in effectiveness, and saw a too early end to their tales because of that.
"Acts of umbramancy like the one that I and my companion are going to do are as said complicated affairs, and not for those faint at heart. I do understand that you and your subjects have had... some bad experiences with others that practised onto the art, so I would ask of you and your guards to leave the room momentarily until we are done. I do hope that my lord prince will have some understanding." | |

| Sugary was alright with the setup of the weapons by default, but Umbra's spoken method of weapon enchantment sounded rather different from his and it gave him some concerns. "Wait, Umbra, before they leave... You really mean to entrap the essence of those creatures? Even I can't manage that kind of magic onto a weapon, my method is more straightforward, and probably more temporary if you're planning what I think you're planning..." He looked between Umbra and Shining, especially the latter. "Sir, if there are others out there fighting, I'd like to join them right away. The sooner I aid in the field, the more time I can try to buy for Umbra at least." It bothered him having to leave Umbra, but it was more bothersome when there was a clear and looming threat. If nothing else, Umbra might be safer in the isolated room away from the streets and the Crystal Heart. | |

| "All that I am planning Sugary is to do the exact same kind of magic that I used to fight the shades earlier... just on a much larger scale, so there are really no reason to fret." Came it from Umbra before the prince got a change to speak up, her eyes glaring with the same kind of daggers a teacher would use against her pupil when they spoke wrongly out of turn to seem wiser than they really were.
"Personally am I not much for the idea of you leaving for battle already. I know that you want to help out, and for no harm to befall onto the ponies of this city, but allowing that harm to befall onto you instead will not help them one bit Sugary. You as well as I know that you need some rest after our last fight, not to mention our lecture." It was not because she cared for him, not really, but it would surely halt her exploration of the city, and the rest of this realm if she lost the captain to her ride, her hand laying onto his shoulder to lay weight to her words and make him heed to her worries, not that she would say that last bit out loud, even if threatened to be put to the torch.

| Sugary returned Umbra's dagger-like stare with his still adamant eyes. He kept a light smirk on his face, but would be quick to get to the point. "What's this? It's okay for you to go pushing yourself after I keep warning you not to, but now I'm supposed to halt when you say so?" His expression then dropped the smirk to something more neutral. "... But I will stay only if you really need my help here right now. Cause otherwise, I happen to be rather well trained for this sort of thing, and would like to move out on the double; I'm not in it just to toss my life away." Even if Umbra really did happen to be older, she was hardly his superior when they had come to travel together on equal terms. | |

| She had for a long time expected that Sugary wasn't an ordinary pony of this realm, but she knew it for sure now... He simply had to be a descendant from the tribes of the mule people there could not be any other logical explanation, how else could one be breed to be so stubborn as he?!
"I can push myself however much as I like since I have certain reserves that you don't have at your availability, thank you ever so much," Umbras hand that hadn't moved one inch as he had repaid her glare with adamant eyes or light smirks moved now to let go of him, it brushing, hopefully casually enough so the guards nor the prince paid it any attention, over her arm where the seven seals sat.
"But then again, what ever would I know about such matters, for I do not happen to be trained for such things as you speak of, I have only lived trough and experienced battles with such fiends that are now ravishing the city and its populace. So shoo shoo with you since you want to leave, off you go and play at war just moments after you needed my help and magical assistance to be able to do the very complicated task of standing on your own two feet." Throwing her arms in the air went she for the table, sitting herself and her red glowing temper and cheeks onto it, legs and arms laying over cross with a rather loud huff.
"If you all could leave now so I can gather my thoughts and work in the peace that I need should I have the weapons ready whenever someone can return with a kettle of tea for me to relax on." Her glaring daggers at Sugary once more, the glare sharper and more poisonous than before as it was now armed with twice the hurt feelings. | |

| Shining watched the dialogue stoically, and once they were done talking, he nodded thoughtfully. "Mister Market," he asked, slowly, "Are you absolutely sure you will participate in this battle, fight amongst my men? It is quite the challenge... however, if you truly are trained in this kind of combat..." He thought for a bit, then his eyes lit up with an idea.
"I think I will gather the best of my best men in one of the halls to be briefed of the situation. If you want to join us in the fight... come with me. We will need all the strenght we can get." He nodded at one of the guards and prepared to leave. He looked back to Market. "Will you join us, or stay here?" | |

| ((Prelude to battle.))In a way, it was touching that Umbra still tried to get a word in about his apparent weak state, that she wasn't wrong about but it wasn't the point, and so his smile made itself a bit more prevalent by the end of her rant. There was an odd comfort with how their arguments had gone from serious to almost petty when it came to matters not involving her past. He actually looked forward to more for a change since that meant they had come out of the current problem alright. Since Shining had given him the option to choose, he stood up straight towards him and placed his left fist over his chest. "Of course! Let's not waste more time!" The stallion, still adamant in his gaze, was willing to follow after Shining right there and then. One thing that might be noticed, most likely by Umbra who had watched him for days now, was that he walked out with a mild sluggish slump he was trying to hide from the exhaustion that would already be slowly settling in by then. Even then, however, the stallion did not leave without at least one more word towards Umbra and the golem. "... And don't, Umbra, we'll keep touring and traveling after this." It was so casually spoken, almost as if he was disregarding the fact danger was nearby. Then again, Umbra was demon-taught to be quite the deal-maker, where as he learned from work what it means to see a deal and promise through to the end. He intended to make good on his word just as she has. | |

| Still with a frown on her lips took she her golem up with one hand and went into the folds of her robe to pull a potion out as well. Giving the potion to the little brown thing spread it its arms out, its feathered plume moving downwards so it now had wings to match the skeleton beak on its shoulder, and with a longdrawn sigh threw she both at Sugary. "I will keep you up to your words as always Sugary, so I will be especially disapointed in you if you end up dead now. " | |

| Shining nodded to Sugary Market as he walked after him trough the door. With his head held high, he marched for the halls that would take him to his specialty crew. He already had a list in mind, and he whispered them to the guard walking next to him, who saluted and quickly ran off to gather the manpower.
As they entered the briefing room, Shining pointed the mercenary to a chair on the long table that was situated there. It was a long, rectangular table with on one end a large chair - intended for Shining - and a lot of smaller chairs on the sides, more than enough to seat the new crew. The room itself was quite light, windows overlooking the bright city. Without another word, Shining sat down on his chair, waiting for the others to come. | |

| Sugary would keep Umbra's words in the distance in his mind; He had no intention to fail on this matter, and so he followed Shining enthusiastically.
He was confused, however, when they were led to another room that was empty instead. When pointed where to sit, he looked at the chair hesitantly but then focused on matters outside anxiously instead. He'd sit eventually, but he'd look to Shining curiously from the opposite end. "... I was under the impression we needed to hurry out. What are we waiting for here?" | |

| Shining smiled calmly at him. "For the others of the squad." He frowned slightly. "Just rushing out, unprepared, is a bit counter-productive, don't you think? Of course, it's not going to take days and days, either. I wish to do this as efficiently as possible, and I believe this is that way."
Soon, the other stallions and mares trickled in. To others, they were nameless faces, but Shining knew all of them by heart - and he knew he could trust them with the difficult task ahead of them. He only needed a few words to bring them up to date with the situation.
"Are there any more questions before we get the weapons?" Shining asked. | |

| Sugary shook his head at Shining. "No, not rushing out. I thought the others we'd be meeting were outside by now." He'd be patient for the rest to show up, and when they did, he regarded each and every one accordingly, though he kept quiet for the time being.
When the last question was laid out, he'd give his own statement. "Not a question so much as a request. I'd like to have at least some idea of how you plan to defend with the troops while I make my own enchantments. It'll make it easier to follow allies along if I join in the battle... That aside, give me any weapons you got; It could even be a stick, I'll make it shine to ward off the darkness." He cracked his knuckles and wiggled his fingers in preparation, ready to take any gear to begin his end of the work. | |

| Shining nodded at Market. "Of course. You see, as soon as there'll be another alarm, we will move out as fast as possible. They will carry more defensive shielding until the weapons are done. If you wish, I could lead you to that part of the armory and show you. There will be several spears as well for you to enchant." | |

| Sugary listened well with his ears perked, but something still bugged him about the steps taken. "With all due respect, waiting for another alarm might mean something that could've been prevented happened again. I hope you understand my impatience, but let's go with is the fastest preparation instead of the most ideal one; We can have more gear delivered if things continue to escalate afterwards, right? Take me to the armory if you must, but my gut says we should go out now." In the end, of course, it was to help those that needed help sooner than later. | |

| Shining tilted his head and nodded slightly, thinking. Looking over the gathered crowd, he saw that there were a few nodding faces and a few were looking thoughtful. He looked back to Sugary.
"Say we were to go out on the field and search them out, do you know what signs you're looking for? Do you know where they will be headed, where they will strike next?" | |

| "Afraid not aside from a sudden shift in energy and oddly shaky shadows, but you if already made it sound like you don't know either, then... What do we have to lose by going out and deal with what went wrong so far? I'm certainly not suggesting the entire Royal Guard go out right away, but what else is being done so far to deal with those things?" He was trying to be mindful of course, to not let his desire conflict with the fact he was addressing the one in charge, but rather find an acceptable compromise. | |

| Just as soon Umbra heard the door closing behind Sugary and the prince, her now being alone since she had been so hasty to send her minion after her guide to make sure he wouldn't get too hurt, began her back and shoulders to sag, her not needing to keep her posture and act up any longer.
With her hands running trough her hair, her having thrown her cowl back and loosened the tight bandages from her face, began she slowly to unwind and herself again. With yet another heavy sigh threw she herself back onto the table, her arms stretched wide before taking a heavy breath and lifted the arm with the seals high up towards the ceiling so the sleeve of her rope could be pulled down by the gentle hand of gravity, the seven seven pointed stars burning black against her white hide. She had planned to use old knowledge, wisdom, and the power of blood to enchant the weapons there where resting around her, but she knew already that if she dared to walk that route alone would it end up being in vain.
No, she had to resort to one of her seven liveliness, to use the raw power of Truth instead of Blood. While she had said to Sugary that she could release the power within with a mere thought if needed be were it not that simple to harness the power, and neither would it be to direct it into the form that she desired for it. Clearing her head for all manners of stray thought, a silence roaming in her head that she rarely had experienced before spoke she an ancient word which meaning were lost to even her Mister Voice. One would expect there to be roars of thunder when so much power were released, to be flashes of light, the smell of ozone as the air itself were ripped apart to make way for raw power of the magical force, but there were silence, so deep a silence that had a mere feather fallen to the ground would it have been heard. As if they were alive, awakening from a slumber, which they in a way were, began the lines in one of her stars to rise on end from her flesh, ripping themselves loose to float around aimlessly in the air around her arm, that was until she moved her arm. With that single little movement did the magic within her truly awake, her whole body to float in mid air, the magic within her cutting loose the bonds of gravity. As she opened her eyes were they two black voids into pure nothingness, her seeing all and nothing at the exact same time, with a twirl of her wrist began the black lines to swam around it, them turning around it with such a speed that they were like a tornado, and then faster still until they formed a single unbroken ring made from the many pieces.
With a snap of her finger undone the ring itself, broken asunder into a myriad of small pieces, a dozen dozens or so embedding themselves into each and every weapon that could be found in the room, the broken pieces of magic reforming themselves, drawing the needed rune for the task of binding. As the last sliver of magic slowly drained from her being took gravity over once more, it bringing the mare rather abruptly back onto the table once more, with a groan and her hands to her head, her feeling that some of the magic had gone astray and made her disguise whole once more dragged she herself and her tired body over to the door, her opening it without any further adieu to yell down the great halls of the castle in a most unladylike manner. "Could someone please hurry up and bring me my tea? Or do I have to drag myself down to the kitchen to make it myself?" | |
