They weren't made of the wood she was normally used to, but rather blood, flesh, and bone. She gulped, veering her head towards the child near by. The girl was of a species unfamiliar, and yet, Twilight couldn't silence the suspicion she'd seen someone like her before. She couldn't have been older than eight or nine.

At any moment, they appeared ready to pounce, and then...They changed. Like clockwork, their personalities transformed. They lowered their ears, whimpering in contrition. Approaching the girl, she embraced them tenderly. They nuzzled her chin, returning her affection as they continued to whine. The Alicorn was nothing short of amazed.

Their energy possessed no conscience to speak of - only the impulse to propagate destruction. Were the shroud allowed to spread beyond its borders, all life would cease to exist.
"This is terrible! I must warn 'Tia right away!"
