Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well, if what they ponys I have talked to say is correct, then you should be fine, apparently Eternity is a great witch, im sure she will be able to give us a potion or something that you can take to become a plushie and then turn back into a pony once you are through to the other side, I guess all we can do is go see her, we will know if we can do this or not for sure then" Iris said as she started packing up her things.

"Would you like anymore?" She asked Calla, offering her the container before she put it away "I have taken a bag of cupcakes through with me before so I think that as long as whatever I have is against me some how then I should be able to make this work" she said trying to be hopeful, closing the orange paint pot andplacing it inside her bag.

"Yes, there is" she said closing up the container and placing it back into the bag as weel as the last paint brush "lets go" she said placing the bag over he head and resting it on her shoulder "I just hope shes there" she said as she started towards the castle.

Iris carried on for a while, looking around, taking in the sceenery, wondering what her next masterpiece will be when she noticed a pony over by the lake "excuse me for a moment" she said as she ran over to a pegasus that only had one wing "Lore!".

Lore looked up and over at the other pony "yes? Who may I ask are you?"

Iris smiled and bowed a little "im Iris, a new commer to these parts and to your herd, I have heard about you from several others, more whispers then not but still, it seems you are the one who keeps tabs on ponys in this herd."

Lore nodded "yes, I am, it is more then a hobby then a job but still, I am an unoffical record keeper of this herd, it is a pleasure to meet you Iris, have you meet my sister yet?"

"Sister?" She asked curiously.

"Yes, Raven, the herd leader, any new commers usally have met her by now."

Iris stepped back a little, scared that she was talking to the brother of that...pony "I..." she said now looking at him with frightened eyes, not know what to say, was this pony like his sister or was he nice? Either way she was scared again like she was with Raven.

"So, you two have met" he said, looking at the response he got and smiled softly and kindly at her "please, do not be alarmed, I am nothing like my sisters, we had a good wizard father and an evil witch mother, my sisters, Shadow and Raven, took after our mother and I took after our father, I could never harm another" he said, hoping she would trust him.

"And what a sad and sorry excuse for a brother you turned out to be!" An invisable voice called.

Lore rolled his eyes and smiled to himself "Raven, can you stop watching for five minutes?" He called back, as much as he hated his sisters actions they all were close to each other and loved each other greatly.

"No way, this is more fun!" She said as she went back to watching.

Lore looked at Iris "see? even she thinks im a sad excuse for a brother."

Iris started to breath again, realising that she had stopped and that he was right and stepped foward again "i'm sorry, after the run in I had with your sister she came over as nothing but a monster, I shouldn't of assumed you were the same, it was terrible of me to jump to those assumptions."

"Belive me, you wouldn't be the first so don't worry, it's fine, after having two sisters who took after our mothers, no one can belive the third child took after our father, after meeting Shadow and Raven they write off any chance that this family has an ounce of goodness in it even if our father was a good and kind hearted wizard." He said with a sigh, his sisters were trouble but as much as he tried to hate them he just couldn't "anyway, what about you? What was it that you wanted?"

Feeling a bit more ressasured she sat down next to him and took a deep breath and continued "well, I was wondering if you knew where Eternity was? I wasthinking of trying to library but I seeing you I thought it better to ask you instead just incase it was a waste of time going there."

Lore nodded "yes, I know where my neice is though I think it would be better if you came with me to see her, she isn't in this realm, she will be working, she was called into work" he said as he got up and willed a portal to open with his mind "it's alright, just going to the magical realm, Eternity owns a pet shop there."

Iris looked over at Calla "Calla, we are making one more stop, care to come?" she called back to Calla before look at Lore "it is alright she comes isn't it?"

Lore nodded "yes, it is, she or you arn't meant to be here without someone like Coven, the daughter of two of the elders of the magical realm or with special permission but concidering that Coven and her parents trust me and not my sisters, I can invite whoever I want to within reason, I feel I can trust you and if you feel you can trust this Calla pony then she may come" he said, knowing this may get him a little told off by Coven or even her parents but he didn't care, it was just a quite visit, ten minutes tops, so he felt that given the amount of magic users in that place, neither of the girls would be ableto get into trouble without someone catching them.

"Great" he said looking at Calla and smiling a little at himself, she was cute, wonder if she had a boyfriend...

Iris looked at Lore and then at Calla and then back at Lore and rolled her eyes, if there was one thing she knew it was when a guy liked a girl and lent over and whispered in his ear "shes out of your league" she smiled at him, teasing playfully.

Lore blushed a little and looked away from Calla "I...I don't know what youre on about" he said as he moved past Iris and into the portal, moving to about half way and just waited for the others, looking in the direction the two girls wernt.

Iris giggled and waited for Calla before walking through and whispered in her ear "I think someones got a crush on you" she said gesturing towards Lore.

Lore carried on and waited at the other end for them, greeting those who greeted him and he wandered over a little book shop and looked in the window, noticing abook on Alchemy that had just come out, he gave the directions to the clerk and paid for the book and the 'shipping' and then walked out to meet the girls.

"Don't write yourself off, I can't see anything wrong with you, been talking to you nowfor the past..." she trailed off and pulled a watch out of her bag and then slippedit back inside "...twenty minutes or so now and I can't find anything wrong with you, you are kind from what I can tell, polite, deffinatly not ugly, your personality is sweet, I can't see why you haven't got a guy...that is, of course, assuming no one has tried, at least, to court you before now" she said as she exited the portal. "Unless you are a secret undercover alien from the planet mars who was sent her to take over our world and your real form is some strange green small humanoid creature with three eyes, antena sticking out of your head and your native tounge is some strange alian laguange and you are really here to take me to your leader" she said smiling at the other, obviously just joking around with her.

Lore smiled at the girls and kept stearing off in the other direction, not his conversation to listen into and even if it was he could still feel his cheeks alittle redfrom what Iris said, he didn't need to show off his embrassment to them.

"I only speak the truth and he is not my type of guy anyway and besides, the way he was looking at YOU no, not interested in me at all, besides, roumor has it, he doesn't date in herd, not sure if thats true or not though so don't quote me on that" she said as she looked up at Lore who had entered the pet store.

Lore stood at the side and waited till Eternity had finished serving a customer, the chimera that the person was holding, whilst only a child and on a leash, still didn't look at all friendly so it was best he just kept his distance.
