In her surprise, Autumn Skye clumsily made the mistake of falling into the
pond. Draven uttered a soft cry as the ripples shattered the images. She
looked at the water logged blue pony and smiled weakly. "No matter, they
will come again, I saw all I really needed."
Rainbow Dash stepped forward to pull his sister out of the pond, but she pushed him away and climbed out herself. "Its you..." she began.
"Yes, whom did you expect, but another like yourself?"
Autumn Skye stumbled on her words at this. "Your a mystic?"
"True as they come, it seems we have much to talk about, I will discuss these matters with you after discussing the war with Majesty." Draven turned to Majesty. "All is well? Or not well, or you would not have come to me here."
Majesty nodded. "I will begin my story then..."

Draven was, if anything, for the white eastern made a point of not directly showing her emotions, displeased with what she had just heard. "They must be stopped then, yet you expect me to give my greatest foot soldiers to you command so you can go into a war which you have no hope of winning? I was there once you know, it isn't a small community, its an empire"
Majesty frowned, Draven was obviously not about to put her people in danger. She wanted proof that her western cousins would not desert them when the fighting came to it's peak. "We have a large army ourselves. I'm not asking for just foot soldiers, air combat may be useful too."
Draven raised an eyebrow. She was pleased the diplomat knew what words to use at least. "You know that we do not have wings except for the unicorns, and only during the breeding season, but yes, I will let our army join you. Do not take this like you can control us. I command our army, you command yours. When and where will they meet?"
Majesty smiled warmly, "I suppose they should meet in a village near the base of the mountains." Draven nodded.
"I will speak with the mystic now, alone that is. Silthor with get you some temporary living quarters."
As soon as they others left, Draven turned her attentions to Autumn Skye. "Speak openly, unlike some walls, these hedges do not have ears. Truly, ask anything you like."
"What were you doing when we came in?" Autumn Skye was instantly wary of the eastern. Who, in her opinion, was much to friendly.
"I was using water visions, would you like me to show you?" Autumn Skye frowned, btu she nodded, she needed to know as much about this as possible. Draven motioned for her to look into the water.
"You may have trouble with this, each of us has an essence, an element, mine is water. Yours may be any, it isn't limited to water, fire, air, and earth. There is also shadow, cloud, wind. Each could take shape an tell you your future and show you. Now look into the water, feel it, be it."
Autumn Skye took a deep breath to calm herself and looked deep into the water, but all she saw was the bottom of the pond. Nothing, water was not hers? She supposed not and looked at the hedge, and all at once she found her element. There, the shadow beneath it twisted into different forms and shapes, it told all, it was all. She found herself whispering and snapped herself out of the trance.
"Interesting." Draven was studying her face intently. "It would be best you rest now. Silthor?" Silthor came in quickly and led her to the others.

She looked from face to curious face with a smile. "So what developments do we have?"
"Medley has gone to summon the army, they meet tomorrow." Kimono reported. Autumn Skye nodded with satisfaction.
"Are we part of that army?"
"We are our own army, they both claim us." Minty chuckled , his pink and purple eyes sparkled with glee. "Seems we've become respected citizens."
