She needed to expand, quickly, she needed her roots in the place. Curiosity is something that usually brings trouble, and having one of the resident sentients poking about here is not on her list of things she appreciates.

This reality, it was strong, so something may be actually able to damage her with a good bit of effort... She didn't want to chance that. She already had a Grove picked out, and with said grove in mind she teleported, disappearing from whence she stood to the clearing she had made.

She had to expand her influence, and she was only mildly panicking, so it was time for a semi-hard push of her powers. She was glad she drank something recently. This was going to take a bit of coaxing, especially once she expands into parts of the forest unfamiliar to her, which sadly for her, was quite a lot, that much she could tell without having a pair of working eyes.

She sat down, calming herself, gently testing her bonds with the things she's encountered and connected with. Plants were always her specialty, as we're carnivorous species... her old and very much lost mate was a wolf hybrid after all. But she kept that little to herself. She shook her head.

Calm breath in. Calm breath out.

She breathed slowly, clearing her head. It wasn't the time to think on the past.

Tendrils slowly coiled and spilled out of her back, most sinking themselves deep into the soil, gently squeezing into the earth next to roots. Others went outwards, and gently latched onto branches or teased gently along the ground, feeling things out, testing her connections. The trees were important for her influence, and they were a bit stubborn but she coaxed them to listen by sharing a bit of her blood, it coming from the tendrils with the roots. She formed full connections and gasped lightly before calming considerably more. That had felt so much better, and the rush of power that came with it extremely helpful. She spread her influence a bit more substantially and stubbornly. It wasn't exactly a full hostile take-over and reading of everything's being, but rather like a welcoming coolness, gently nudging things under a metaphorical wing to take shelter under, at least to her. Most things that she touched with her influence were quick to go with it, to most it felt like a safe haven had opened up for those too used to the violence of their environment, though a temporary one. It was like a long moment of reprive for a rabbit who just ran from a wolf, it or its pack may be near, but for now it's safe and far enough to rest and close it's eyes. Others felt a bit stubborn. They liked the calm just as much as the thrill, but it felt like a time to calm and reluctantly lick wounds and groom, a bit of anger but it faded upon realizing this was a needed respite.

She did not forcefully take over, but rather nudged, if those she nudged fled or fought she didn't touch them or make them like her, she simply let them go, which for others, seemed an even bigger sign that the wave of calm enveloping a small chunk of the forest wasn't a malevolent force of nature or a Hydra waking up from a nap cranky, but simply a sign that something was happening. It felt nice at least.

It felt nice. Really... really. . . . .

Delilah was soon unconscious, her head had to heavily process all that she had reluctantly bulldozed through, pick and organize things, her body twitched a bit and she sighed in her sleep, her own magic rebounding, doubling, tripling, condensing itself more manageably, rebounding again. Too many signals, and the plant life she was growing as a bed swiftly grew over her body, the trees started getting taller, starting from her grove and going outwards. A veritable extra large boon for the wild forest to soak up all the leaking magic from her and grow crazy from it.

Meanwhile...

Rarity had no idea what to make of the odd creature she and Fluttershy had come across. Though she saw it from downstream, Fluttershy had gone so close! She thought she was going to faint right then and there! But, oh that poor creature when it got startled, while it may have practically exuded grace and elegance, it was very obviously blind, it didn't even register Fluttershy being there, or her!... Though she's not sure if she would've screamed or not if she did, that creature had such large claws, who knows what they were for. She didn't want to find out... but goodness Fluttershy was ever so concerned when it oh so carefully nudged it's way back into the Everfree.

She shakily sipped her tea. She dreaded to think what would have happened if it was a manticore that had run out of the treeline.

She glanced at the clock, it was still daytime. Might as well... Work on the new designs that creature inspired her to create! Oh now she wishes she brought a camera with her on that walk!
