All that could be seen of their face was a white furred, wolf like snout and long, orange locks of hair not unlike a equine mane. The creature's leathery wings shifted to sit more comfortably on their serpentine body and their equally long tail curled up slightly. Without a word, the peculiar beast walked over to the kitchen and deposited some bags of foodsuff onto a small bench. They smiled as they greeted Frisk, the creature's scale covered, clawed hands clasped together in a polite manner as the newcomer introduced themselves. They-or rather she- was named Lora. She went on to explain that she cared for a series of houses that served as nuetral territory between the various warring factions. She casually offered the child a place to stay and some advice, should they need it. Frisk asked about the painting on the wall. Lora sighed and sat down on the giant cushion in a very dog like manner. The child took a seat beside her as the dragoness spoke of The Seven Sages. When mankind declared war they poured every ounce of determination into finding a way to best the pony kingdom. Technology was of no issue as they had far surpassed Equestria in that regard, magic on the other hand was not as bountiful for the human race as it was other creatures. The brightest and best minds humanity had to offer worked extensively to study magic and when that was achieved, they chose four of their best mages to make a weapon to end the war once and for all. The poor souls tried until they found a school of magic the pony race dare not touch. With Dark Magic at their disposal, four became seven and were given the order to seize control over all of ponydom. But they refused. Their research, their struggles and the friendship that bound them together allowed them to understand magic on level other humans had yet to realize and betraying their very people, they drove all of ponydom underground and created the barrier.
