It hadn't taken long for Kail to find Gumdrop, and the kitten, and bring them back. As she opened the door she set them both down, and took off all her outdoor clothing, since it was very warm inside with all the bodies.
"Ok, who wants hot chocolate?" she asked to the kids present, although the adults were most certainly welcome to it as well. Sherbet jumped around excited and Kail nodded, "you have to stay out here though, the kitchen is still sticky and we just got you cleaned."
She went into the kitchen to start the water and grab some cups.

Gumdrop sat on the floor and waited for her hot chocolate. She hugged the purple kitten. It seemed to be getting a little warmer. She didn't speak to anyone. She was upset.
They hadn't even noticed that she had gone. They didn't care. Charm was going to stay with the big ponies. But nobody wanted her. She wiped her eyes with her hoof. Kail was the only one who had even noticed that she was gone...

Looking down at the bundle in his arms, Gabriel smiled. "What do you say, hun? Want to stay with Dreamer for a few minutes?"
As Kail returned, his ears flicked. He hadn't even noticed that she'd left... and Gumdrop. Guilt was beginning to settle in. He really needed to pay more attention at times.

Charm turned so she could see Dreamer. He looked nice and if Gabriel approved of him, she figured he must be all right. Nodding her head Charm agreed to stay with Dreamer while Gabriel got a shower.
Waving a dark green hoof at Dreamer she smiled shyly.

Dreamer smiled at the little pegasus.
"Don't worry Gabriel." He said to the other alicorn. "I'll take good care of her."

Moon looked around in mild confusion, then spotted Gumdrop and trotted over. "Wha's that?" He said, meaning the kitten.

Harvest Moon was not the only one interested in Gumdrop. A grey mare suddenly nosed open the door, then closed it swiftly behind her. She was an intersting looking pony with an odd, celtic three horse symbol, and a strange glimmer in her eyes. She also seemed to be of an older earth type, with a thick, wavy mane andtail not seen in some time.
She snorted and glared at the door after it seemed to get stuck for a momment. "There's a reason I don't use doors much," she muttered, turning to survey the room.
There was one...no, two pulls on her in this room. But so many ponies....she took a deep breath and her eyes fluttered closed. There.....and there. She approached the oldest of the two first. "Hello, Gabriel." Her voice was lyrical but she had an accent that was impossible to place exactly....but sounded vageuly Nothern. "I'm Aedeminar."

Gumdrop looked up at Harvest Moon. She looked at him tearfully for a moment. Then she held out the bundle. The small purple kitten licked Moon's nose with it's rough sandpaper-like tongue.
It mewed and then snuggled back up to Gumdrop, Gumdrop pulled the purple scarf back over it.
She jumped slightly when another pony walked through the door. She wished everyone would go away. It was hard coping when you had just found out your mother had died...

Dreamer blinked, seeing the grey mare. He glanced back at Gabriel and then the other before taking a step back, as though he was in the way.
Aedeminar? He thought, curious and maybe confused. Does Gabriel know her?... purple? He glanced at the little light purple kitten which GumDrop had, and then Gumdrop herself, beforing turning to Gabriel and Aedeminar.

Moon crinkled his nose. "That felt funny. But its cute...but...'ow come its purple?" He flicked his tail, sparingthe new comer scarcely a glance until he noticed the sword strapped to her side. "Ooh!"
He instanty trotted up to her. "You look like one of the ponies my ma and da talk about," he said without preamble. "And your name is funny, but it sounds familiar. Who are you?"
Aedeminar frowned down at the flutter pony. He was even bolder than her daughter had been. "I doubt you'd know of me, child. Little is rememberd of me, lest you come from Dream Valley or the Fatum Isles."
Moon bounced up and down. "We're from the Isles! Yeshes..."
Aedmeinar snorted softly. A dark colored flutter...well, she would have guessed. Still, not too many wandered from Fatum even these days. "I still doubt you know of me."
Moon pouted, but she ignored him and awaited Gabriel's reply.

Gumdrop didn't answer Moon. She didn't want anyone to talk to her. She got up from the floor and trotted over to the corner of the room. She sat down again, and faced the wall, so that no-one could see her face.
She felt a tear sliding down her face. She was to young to not have a mother. Why did this happen to her?

Kail (gah, I couldnt even remember her name! I was thinking Bella...no, Pone....no... what is it? ) finished the hot cocoa for Gumdrop and anyone else that wanted some and walked back out into the main room. She almost dropped the cups at the sight of the new visitor - there was something odd about her that Kail couldn't place. As if she walked out of a fairy tale and into the nursery. She looked around the room and saw little Gumdrop in the corner with her kitten. She walked over silently and set the mug down and sat next to her, putting a still slightly-sticky wing on her back but saying nothing.

(lol! you crazy person)
Gumdrop cuddled up to Kail silently. She took no notice of the other ponies. Except the one that had walked through the door. She listened intently from behind Kail's wing to hear what she had to say.

Gabriel smiled at the black stallion. "I don't doubt that."
Until Aedeminar was barely two feet away, Gabriel remained un-phased by her presence. Turning to face the approaching mare, he could sense that there was something very different about her. A feeling so strong that he didn't dare go near her mind.
Pale eyes watched as the newcomer introduced herself. Bowing, Gabriel cradled Charm in his arms so that she wouldn't fall. "Gabriel." He smiled slightly and stood.

"Gabriel, then." Aedeminar sighed deeply. "This shall be hard to explain, for far too many ponies these days know anythong of what I shall speak. Harder still for you to swallow, but I beg your patience. I am a Watcher, and and I have Seen strange things afoot. Old things that have long lain sleeping wake, and bring themselves back into the world. With these beings come magic. Not the magic of which you now know, but the ancient kind that ruled during the Age of Dragons...when magic was commanding the Fire and rousing the Earth, and the weilders of such spells were called Mages. Most mages died two thousand years ago, but enough power and knowledge of it lingered for a few to exist in todays time. But since those sleeping beings of old now wake, the power which magery can draw from increases, and the latent talent in modern ponies stir. And you, sir Gabriel, are one such...and I, last student of the true ancient paths, have sought you out. You have two choices now--embrace the talent that lay within you, and learn from me...or let me lock it away for you. Talent such as this does not sit idle well, and you cannot ignore it. One...or the other."
Aedeminar bobbed her head slightly and snorted. Then she remebered the other one that pulled her hear...and with a softer gaze she turned towards Gumdrop. "You too, little one. There's something special in you. Wouldn't you like to know hwo to use it?" With that, Aedeminar summoned a few mage lights--soft, glowing spheres of many colors. One, mostly purple, she let drift down to Gumdrop. This was a small showing; true theatrics would have to wait. There was not yet enough energy to toss such things around lightly.
