[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.

Is that right? That's a fool's desire.

[She would prefer life and death being left to deities thanks... or Xerneas.]

I take there's a limit to what you can answer then?

[ponymeisters]

HIS GREATEST WISH IS TO KNOW ALL THERE THERE IS TO KNOW. KNOWLEDGE AND MAGIC IS HIS PASSION, WHICH BECAME OBSESSION.

THERE IS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW ALL OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WILL END, THOUGH OF COURSE I CAN EXPRESS MY FAITH THAT IT WON'T END BADLY, AT LEAST. HOPEFULLY.

[chatwithdeath]

Not an unfamiliar story when it comes to individuals like him... no pun intended.

That's fine. Being hopeful will be enough, Pale Pony.

[ponymeisters]

THANK YOU. HOPE IS A POWER UNTO ITSELF, AFTER ALL.

[chatwithdeath]

That's right. Still, need to be careful sometimes when it comes to hope.

[ponymeisters]

I...HAVE SOMETHING OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU MEAN.

MIGHT I ASK HOW YOUR WORK AT THE BARRIER IS GOING?

[chatwithdeath]

Progression is slow. It's breaking, but that was due to the recent ascension nearby cracking the surface.

[ponymeisters]

IT WILL BREAK, SOON ENOUGH. AS ASCENSION TO ALICORNHOOD IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE TESTAMENTS TO THE BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP, IT RELEASES A GREAT POWER GREATER THAN ANY OTHER MAGIC. NOT EVEN THE CASTER OF THE BARRIER'S MAGIC IS STRONG AGAINST IT, AS THEY HAVE NEVER COMPREHENDED THE VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP.

[chatwithdeath]

Hm, I see. Yes, it seems a number of individuals here neglect how powerful bonds can be. Though, that seems to be a similar case in every world somehow. Back on the subject of the barrier, I'll keep an eye on it. It still may take some time before it falls however.

[ponymeisters]

IT WOULD BE WISE TO. WHEN THE BARRIER COMES DOWN, WHAT'S WITHIN WILL BE UNPREDICTABLE. ITS BEST TO BE PREPARED.

[chatwithdeath]

Hm... Very well. I'll make sure the others are aware as well.
