[Its true that she's answering questions for those in the scroll. However, she knows that not everypony was looking at the scrolls, reading the story. So, she decides to open up to others outside the story, while the story was still going.

Even if she's just the book's version of it, there's no denying the sheer presence of this creature, with good reason, of course.

So she smiles, then speaks, her voice everywhere and nowhere at the same time.]

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYPONY. I'M CERTAIN YOU ALL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PRESENCE IN THIS STORY, AND PROBABLY OTHER THINGS.

I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.

THE BARRIER WILL FALL SOON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE END OF YOUR TRIALS WILL BEGIN.

[crapfully]

The barrier? Some kind of...wall. Like a door? Mirror?

THE BARRIER WITHIN THE HEART OF THE EVERFREE FOREST.

[crapfully]

Heart of the forest. Got it.

[Hey, solid progress! He'll scribble a note and pass this on to the rest of the team.]

Now that we've got some kind of solid lead, I'm thinking we'll see you in...four to six months at the rate it usually takes us to get the band together.

[ponymeisters]

THAT SOUNDS ALL RIGHT. EVERYPONY WILL NEED TO BE READY TO FACE WHAT IS TO HAPPEN.

[crapfully]

So what you're saying is that I should also prepare my axe.

Or...uh. Invite friends over to tea, since that's apparently how we deal with problems.

[ponymeisters]

I WOULD HUMBLY SUGGEST BOTH. ONE CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL.

[crapfully]

I'm liking the sound of this plan. Thanks, Pale Pony.

[Is he supposed to bow? Uh. Okay, let's go with that.]
