Epaphroditos observed the pale stallion as he spoke. It even looked like the brown tattoo-like marking on his flank would move from time to time, but he wasn’t entirely sure. “Very well, nice to meet you Dusty. That is very interesting. There seem to be a lot of wanderers coming through the desert these days. Not long ago, during the Summer solstice, I met a young mare named Evaline who was trespassing through my land. She also claimed to be a wanderer/messenger or whatever. Ended up escorting her through Delphi to Ausrune’s land for the Soltice party. It must be because it’s been such an eventful year. Strange things are happening. Have you been feeling them as well?” He kept an ear out for anything else the stallion would say. However, he had another ear swiveled elsewhere listening for any anomalies. Though he didn’t have eyes, he could still see his surroundings just fine and was constantly scanning the horizon for any strange things.
“Ahh yes. Anavay’s call can be a hard one to ignore, she’s certainly an insistent one. You certainly gotta respect a mare like that,” he said, with just a hint of admiration in his voice.
He stopped in his tracks at Dusty’s question. Ahead, Delphi was in sight, his jungle domain. It certainly didn’t look healthy, but that wasn’t what had attracted Dusty’s attention. No, the white stallion was looking to the left at a.. Dust cloud? The strange sight baffled him. Not only because he had never seen anything like that before, but because it should have been impossible. The typhoon he had accidentally created was absolutely soaking the desert floor. There shouldn’t be dust anywhere for miles. He’d be less shocked to see the beginnings of a lake forming.
“That...that should not exist. I mean, it certainly could since this is the desert and it’s normally hot and dry. However, in this rain, it should not. Maybe we should go closer, and check it out. It’s definitely something we’ll want to tell Anevay about. We can summon Anevay on our way. It’s just dust right? Shouldn’t be harmful to us.”
He began wandering in the general direction of the dust cloud, figuring the pale stallion would fall behind him. He wanted to see if it was just normal dust kicking up beyond the storm, or something else.
One thing he did notice was that the pale stallion hadn’t even tried to use any sort of magic thus far. He hoped Anevay hadn’t stuck him with one inexperienced with magic. How would he be able to help if he couldn’t do magic? Either way, Anevay had chosen the two of them, so she must have some reason for it, magic or not. Still, curiosity got the better of him and he asked, “So, um, Dusty, I can’t help but notice that you haven’t used any magic. Are you worried about the instability of it? Have you been noticing the strange shifts in magic?”
