Tality

Tality catches the unmistakable scent of something from her nightmares, and follows it out of curiosity. She comes upon Hawk and looks the red pony up and down. "Huh. You look like s***. I thought Luna was supposed to protect ponies from stuff like ..." she gestures at him vaguely, "...this."

View MoreTality observes, the sudden strikes he receives clue her in quite quickly that this is not a purely mental phenomenon. She swears under her breath, and gives up on the dream realm. These things ought to be accessible through the dream realm somehow, but she would have to exit the bottom of the well into the void itself, then double back and navigate back to this world from the outside to glimpse these in-between beings from the outside, and she both doesn't know that, and couldn't sense her way anyways, and furthermore, she would have to be in the right place, right time, among infinite possible intersections of reality and unreality. She observes him, his skill is incredible, breathtaking, even. For the first time in her life, she's not sure who's the more skilled warrior. She'd love to dance with him, test their skills against each other. Is it like this for him all the time? Is there a time when he isn't forced to defend himself. She has to further accelerate her cognition to see all the details, every flinch, every twitch, every preparation, every little precognitive movement. Enough experience clues a warrior into the rhythm of the universe on such a subtle level that they can predict things that really ought not to be predictable. She's only experienced it a few times herself, during months of continuous battle, and it's easily lost. It's not a lot. A few milliseconds at best, and usually much less. But with every little trick he's picked up, it adds up. "I'm not so sure I will," she states boldly, loud enough to be sure she'll be understood. "Unless they assault something other than my mind, soul, or body, I should be able to weather a few minutes, at least. And probably much more." But first, there is one thing she can prepare, if the moon is willing to help. It might not want Tality to help him, but it would have to really care a great deal about that to miss this opportunity to meet and be wielded by the nascent leviathan firsthoof. Tality retreats to a safer distance, stands up her hind hooves and poses, in both the physical and dream realms, closing her eyes, and a red aura glows where her horn ought to be. In the dream realm, her body is intact, wings and horn, and she can use her horn there for this specific incantation. She speaks the verses in the long-dead tongue of the moon. It took her people millenia to piece back together this ancient ritual, but it was worth it. The moon laughs and answers. It shimmers in the night sky, and a drop of pure liquid moonlight falls from the heavens and falls into Tality's hooves, where it takes the shape of her moonblade, a simple, practical combat knife, perhaps a little oversized, but filled with holes that change with the moon's current personality. She completes the ritual by speaking the verse that gives thanks for the moon's favor, and opens her eyes, which temporarily glow with silver light as the liquid moonlight in her eyes resonates with the ritual. Then she snatches the weapon out of the air and charges directly into the line of fire in just a few steps, and comes eye to eye with him, staring into his eyes for some indication of when to expect the first strike. She has a grin on her face. She thinks it's just a grin of reckless glee, of the anticipation of being challenged to grow. But Hawk sees something a little different in her expression. Something labyrinthine and complex, that only an equal could possibly ever glimpse. In that moment, he knows he's looking at a warrior older than the sun, that's lived so long she's gone through cycles of despair and hope and glee and joy so many times that the cycles overlap. He can count at least thirteen, and right now, she's in a very strange place. She still loves killing, but she's exhausted of dealing with losing her loved ones. But this, right here? An excuse to let loose? She wouldn't miss it for the world. Even if she can't help in the end, to just be ripped apart and survive would be infinitely worth it. "Name's Tality," somehow, in that moment when their eyes lock, the universe seems to hold its breath, giving her time to complete her introduction. "It's short for Totality. Which is short for, 'The Moment of Totality of Seventeen Moons, Three Planets, and Five Suns.' That's what I am. I'm that moment, given a body and a life." As her blood began to spray, she grinned, eyeing it as it congealed in the air, formed into strands and ligaments of its own accord, and then attempted to pull itself back into her body. "And my body ... really loves being a part of me."

(( Cripe, my bad I almost forgor! )) He did not respond, instead focused more on fighting off these unseen entities with his weapon.

I didn't forget, I've just had too much anxiety to post due to stuff happening in real life!)) Tality's impressed. She had in fact spoken her introduction as a single word of moonspeech, one of those deep dreamwalker language that only those in the throes of madness can understand. It would have unfolded in the mind, creating the perception of time expanding, even the vision of her blood coagulating had been included in the message, but the crimson pegasus had reacted before she had finished speaking the word, a quite impressive feat. quickly he hadn't properly absorbed the message. She grinned. So he wouldn't willingly let her get close? Well, she wasn't willing to give up that easily. She just had to not let him know she was there. She triggered her adrenaline dump, and her body, genetically engineered to fight the god-emperor's wars, responded by shifting into its second stage of alertness. Her lungs switched from standard operation to continuous flow, and auxiliary vents along her sides opened as she started to breathe like a bird, greatly multiplying her oxygen intake. She felt time expand, a surge of strength, and a sense of lightness that practically floated her up onto her hind legs as she surged forward. For the first few seconds at least, or perhaps even a few minutes, or until it became abundantly obvious, Hawk would probably have believed that she hadn't followed him into the brush. It wouldn't be until he wrenched his head faster than Tality could predict that he would catch a glimpse of her in his peripherals for a just a single instant before she dodged out of view. He would have trouble spotting her again, as she was fast enough to evade his field of view, but frighteningly, she was utterly silent as well. She left no hoofprints, made no noise, not even a vibration in the ground, but there was movement in the air from her passage, a very quiet sound from her breathing, and as time went on, her rising body heat would start to give her away. Most of her earth magic was invested defensively, prepared for the inevitable unforeseeable attack. As soon as she felt it, she would reflexively shift her earth magic and reinforce the point of contact. She knew multiple specialized techniques against certain kinds of strikes, and while she figured the first defense would be clumsy, she would learn a great deal about what was attacking Hawk from the damage. Such as how effective earth magic even was at all,.

Sprout's attempted attacks slowed and stopped as she noticed the inexplicable fresh wounds appearing on her new adversary. Scared, she looked behind her and started sniffing for any sign of love or hatred.
