"I don't know." Ever said. "I mean, what if you don't like what your meaning in life is? What if you didn't have a say in it? Won't you just forget about it then? Then it wouldn't matter, so why search for it at all?"
"I guess." Tornado said. "Unicorns train their magic differently from us as well and they also have intense ways to train. Ever once levitated gems around her for twenty four hours, even while she was sleeping! She looked really tired after that, even worse than I looked in my toughest routines."

"Well i'd change it. Its not like destiny is set in stone or whatever. I just want to know why I am who I am." Forge said.
"Forge once took a beating from a Ursa minor for 1 hour straight to build endurance. He nearly died. He also used to test how little sleep he could get. I remember his record is 4 hours a night's sleep for full energy." Mag said. "I once had to lift a boulder using 5 inches of Force for 30 minutes." Mag shuttered.

"So why not just skip to the end?" Ever asked. "Sometimes not knowing who you are is better then knowing."
"That doesn't sound very healthy." Tornado told Mag. "'A rolling log is better than a stick with thorns'. That's what one of my masters used to say. Though lifting that boulder for thirty minutes sounds awesome."

Forge asked. "Maybe. But how many ponies have a mysterious past they don't know about?" Forge asked. "Closest I'll get to a book adventure. Besides I think I really want to know. You'd want to know your past right?"
"It worked for us I guess." Mag sighed. "I dunno."

There was a sudden anger in Ever's eyes and her body almost shook with it. "No! I wouldn't! The past is the past, who cares about the stupid past!" She spun around and headed back into the tent, closing the flap. Mithrel looked worried and followed Ever into the tent.
"You can both certainly hold your own in a fight, there's no arguing with that." Tor said and stopped. "I think we better stop picking up firewood before there isn't a forest anymore."

Shard peeked in the tent. "What happened?" She asked Mith and Ever. Forge stood a little shocked.
Mag looked at her. "What do you mean?" He was holding a tree with his Force and seemed unaware of it.

Mithrel was quick to block Shard's vision of Ever, although even a with a quick glance it seemed like she was crying into her pillow. "It's nothing." Mith said. "Just some personal matter. She'll be fine."
Tor rolled her eyes. "You know that even if we cut that up it won't make a good fire right?" She said about the tree.

Shard came out of the tent. "I don't think its your fault per se. You didn't know." Shard was trying to console a downhearted Forge.
"I'll go replant it. Wanna come?" Mag asked.

"Sure." Tornado said with a shrug. "Then we better head back to camp. If nothing attacked us by now we're probably good for a while."

Mag flew up and saw the hole from afar. He carefully put the tree back then flew back to Tornado. "You remember the way back to camp?"

"Roughly." Tornado answered. "We left enough of a trail to follow back though so it shouldn't be a problem." She said ad headed back to camp. At camp she tossed down the firewood. "We're back! What's up!?" She greeted them.

"We don't really know ourselves." Shard said. "You might want to ask Mith."

"Uh, what?" Tornado asked confused and a little concerned. Without another word she entered the tent and closed the flap. The muffled voices of Mith and Tornado whispering in the tent could be heard.

Mag looked at Forge. "So uh..." Mag started. "I don't know either." Forge said.

After a little while Tornado stepped back out of the tent. "So yeah, uh, who wants to fry some marshmallows over a fire!? I know somepony must have brought some." She said getting a bag of mallows out of one of the saddlebags. "I'll get the fire started!" She said throwing the bag of mallows towards Forge and getting the firewood.

Forge grabbed it but looked downtrodden. "Um... Is she uh... Okay?" Forge asked.

"Ever is fine. Everything is fine." Tornado said as she got the fire going. "She's just a little tired so she's going to go to bed early tonight." Tor explained, although she never made any eye contact, which was rare for the energetic pegasus.

"I saw that." Mag said. "You didn't look us in the eye.You're hiding something aren't you?" Mag said as he sat down. He said it casually, like it was a commonplace issue to him.

ooc: Tornado didn't do it on purpose, it was done unconsciously. So it sounds a bit rude to just accuse her of it like that. She was just acting a little off is all. "What!?" Tornado walked up to Mag and looked him in the eye. "See!? I'm looking you eye to eye and telling you that everything is fine. Satisfied? Now do you want some marshmallows or not?"

OOC: I tried to help Raider see the accusing tone in his first post so what you got was the revised post, though I guess it wasn't all that successful a revision I helped him with this post as well, hopefully it serves it's purpose ok. BIC: Mag backed down a bit. "Hey I was just worried. It doesn't seem like you to be indirect." Forge spoke up, "Since the only ones we talked to were each other we kinda developed a way of understanding each others tone, but in truth Mag is just worried. He's a little socially awkward as well." Forge said nervously. Mag nodded, "Sorry about my tone. I didn't mean anything by it." Mag asked.

"Oh." Tornado said and also backed down. "Yeah, sorry for snapping at you. Ever is fine, really. It's nothing you guys have to worry about. It's... personal." She said and continued getting the fire ready.

"Okay! So um... Good work today. Forge did you figure out where we are?" Shard asked. Forge nodded and replied. "Actually I found a short cut on my map to where we wanna go a day faster." Shard perked up hearing this, "That's great! Wait..." She calmed down, "This isn't gonna be illusion plants is it?" Shard asked warily. "No. Just a old hollowed out tree. Its like a system of tunnels. I've been there a lot... " Mag rolled his eye, "Yeah that's for sure..." Mag said quietly to himself

"Tunnels?" Tornado asked putting a mallow on a stick. "Don't things usually live in tunnels?"

"Only giant rats." Forge said like it wasn't a big deal. "Rats!?" Shard yelped in shock. "NONONONO! NO RATS!"

Tor couldn't help but chuckle, if only to lighten the mood. "What's the matter Shard? You scared of a few rats?"

"Yes! How are you not?!" Shard asked. She shuttered. "Rats are just... Horrible!"

"But they're so cute." Tornado said. "They have little noses and whiskers and little pink round ears."

"Those are mice I think." Mag said. "Oh yeah these Rats are really cute." Forge assured Shard. "I dunno... What do you think Tornado?" Shard asked

"Both mice and rats have cute noses and ears. Have you ever been in a school where ninety percent of the ponies scream when they see a rat? Rats are awesome." Tornado said. "But don't worry Shard. Both Ever and Mith doesn't really like rats much either. And we better take this shortcut before Forge tries to shortcut us through an underground volcano or some place really dangerous."

"No. We'd need more rope to take the volcano path." Forge said. Shard stared at him, "What?" Forge asked in response to the look. "We had NO lives before working for the Princess. There's an underground lake, a statue of a pony fighting himself, and a group of apple trees that only appear once every... I dunno." Mag said.
