As she neared the site of the newly built castle, a reminiscent feeling knotted in the pegasus' chest. The last time she had been here was in company of ponies like Willow and Roux, with a dagger strapped to her foreleg and thoughts of death in her mind. For this was the site where the battle of the Rainbow of Darkness took place.
The scene had changed drastically, however. Where there were once massive boulders and bricks amidst broken beams and glass, there was now clean, grass-filled ground with a few flowers here and there. The trees were full of pre-autumn leaves, and lo and behold, a brand new castle stood where the old one once towered. In many ways, life in Ponyville had returned to its original balance.
No, Jewel thought to herself, Things aren't right. Some other force has invaded this town, I don't need anyone to tell me that. I can feel it. Something that is bringing about frightful things in the forest, and near-murders. Why would 'gods' do all this? ...
With a quick look around and a small sigh, the golden pegasus lay under a tree in the area in front of the castle. The griffin quickly set himself vigilently in the tree's upper branches. Jewel leaned her raised head against the tree's trunk and glanced down at the small rocks at its base, tapping them here and there with the tip of one of her golden hooves. For some reason, she suddenly longed for Roux. Drifting off into thought, the pegasus soon fell victim to the world of dreams.

Night soon fell, with the pegasus still under the peaceful spell of sleep. As a cool breeze wound its way around the castle grounds, Jewel slept through, curled up under her wings.
Amber eyes opened alertly as Amr sensed something approaching. Slowly raising his head from his position in the tree limbs above, he cooed in a low tone as the orange orb approached. Tsuwari trotted tiredly behind the disguised Glasye, having followed him quite a ways in a short time. The griffin watched, ready to protect the pegasus in an instant.
Now.. what to do with this kid.. Glasye thought to himself, tired of entertaining Tsuwari thus far, and eager to drop him off in a safe, non-traumatic place. Ah.. sleeping beauty, eh? I think that mare actually tried to kill me once.He pondered with amusement, slowing down, Every mare loves a cute foal though, don't they? With that, the orange orb faded away, leaving Tsuwari only a few feet from the sleeping pegasus.
"Hey, wait! Where'd you go?" Tsuwari asked tiredly, circling in place. Jewel gasped, awoken by the voice and disoriented by how much time had passed since she fell asleep. She stood with a start, taking a moment for her eyes to focus on the foal.
"Are you lost?" She asked, noting by the moon that it must be late. Tsuwari jumped when she spoke. He began breathing heavier and appeared all kinds of upset.
"My mama went away and I went to find her and the orange light came and I chased it and now I'm here and and and..."
"Shh.." Jewel looked around eagerly, hoping to spot Rose Rebellion around, and fearing the worst when she didn't. "I'm sure your mom just had some.. errands.. to run. It's okay, don't cry.." She tried her best to comfort the tired, cranky, and frightened foal, while getting a grip herself. "It's too late to try and find our way there in the dark.." She glanced around again, terribly afraid of the dark herself, "We'll go see if we can spend the night in the castle, ok? Then we can find your mama in the morning," If she's alright...
Tsuwari sniffed and looked around, realizing there really were no other options. "Ok-k."
With that, Jewel led Tsuwari to the castle's large front doors, and bringing back her hoof, tapped the door loudly three times, then waited for a reply.

After the third knock on the door, to the pegasus' surprise, it slowly creaked open before them. After a second, Jewel stuck her head in the door and called softly, "Hello?" Not hearing a reply, and knowing that she and the foal would probably (well, hopefully) be safer inside, Jewel walked into the castle, with Tsuwari right at her golden heels. (Inti? Peri? We're heeeeere! ;D)
