Looking for the Sidequests [Visual, Open]

[mithrarin]

[The pegasus turns away from the scroll once he activates it, stepping a few feet away to sit down on the cloud. The sun sets in the distance, as the night drifts in from behind the scroll. The ground is nowhere in sight.]

When I got this form back, I figured things were getting back to normal, but I'd still like to hear that all the fighting is over and all the strangeness is done. If it is... I'm coming back to Ponyville.

The dungeon's closed. The one under Canterlot. I tried to go there to get some practice in. [He shakes his head.] No good, though. Which means there really is nowhere left with monsters, or someone who needs to be stopped for the good of... well, anyone.

I'm starting to think my coming here was a mistake. Or unintentional...

[Well, she can ask, but he sure has no idea...]

Not really. Not any more than you or I are like a manticore. Probably less so.

[rabbitheartedfox]

Um...okay, but I don't know what a Manticore is.

What happened after you saved them? Art keeps telling me that Morphs are meant to help people but he never tells me what happens afterwards.

[mithrarin]

They're monsters in the Everfree Forest here. Don't go looking for one. [He has to add that, otherwise...]

If you're just 'helping' people, then that's a process that'll never end. Not till the world becomes perfect. I had a specific purpose, to defeat General Gaius, and I achieved that. I'm not sure what happened after that, because I died right after he did, then ended up here.

[rabbitheartedfox]

You died?!

[Of all the things she never expected to hear.]

But... you're not dead....

[mithrarin]

The Sen-Mithrarin will always come back, so long as there's still a purpose for him. That's what Ahrah tells me, anyway.

[rabbitheartedfox]

I... So you died but came back? How did you come back?

[mithrarin]

I appeared here. That's really about all I know. If you want to know how it actually happened, I couldn't tell you. That's something maybe the Moonblood Elder could answer, if anyone could.

[rabbitheartedfox]

Oh... [Mani's a little lost and out of her depth with this subject, which makes her want to figure it out all the more. But if Dust doesn't know, he doesn't know.] I think, this is one of those things Art would say I'm too young to know anyway.

[mithrarin]

It's good not to grow up too fast, if you can help it. Once you grow up, there's no going back, and you have to do it someday. Sooner or later, that time will come.
