//------------------------------// // Okay What? // Story: Mail through the mirror // by Eon Seb //------------------------------// The girls (including Sunset) were all gathered in the music room after school. They had just finished compiling their notes on the mysterious Weatley who had come through the portal with Princess Twilight. The guy had been cold as ice (or Maud when she's in a bad mood according to Pinkie), but he looked like a stereotypical history professor or a librarian complete with pince nez glasses and suit coat. He was, for all intents and purposes, normal-looking. Then Flash Sentry entered the picture. "So Rarity, what's the news on that locker?" Sunset was still getting used to being the organizer for things with the others. Then again, the only other one who had any organizational skills was Pinkie and her idea of organization gave all of them headaches. Rarity had drawn the straw to check all the areas he had gone during his time there. This was subject 1, "Well they replaced it but I got there as the original door was being removed so I was able to get it" she brought out a green locker door, with a massive hole in the middle. After the 3rd meeting between Twilight and Flash, Weatley had with no change in his facial expression, punched a hole in the nearest locker before walking off. "I checked everyplace he was seen going in to (other then the restroom, of course) but this was the only thing damaged." "Right, Pinkie, Rainbow. What did everyone say about him?" Pinkie pulled a list out of her hair (they still had no idea how she kept things in there). "Well, most of the others didn't think much of him at first. Heck, most don't remember seeing him around for those 2 days anyway. The only ones who do only noticed him when it got super de duper cold around them during an argument of some kind, one guy even said he was able to see his breath before the cold snap ended. Every time that happened he was near by watching." Sunset shuddered "Okay, Fluttershy, Applejack, what could you find out about what he turned into?" This still gave the school as a whole nightmares. During Sunset's final attempt to get the crown, Weatley had managed to catch it just before she could. In a fit of rage, she kicked him in the groin, only for her foot to crack on impact. She was very lucky to not break anything. After turning the crown over to Twilight, he turned to face Sunset and her Cronies and pulled off his skin! The creature that came out of the husk was tall, pale and skeletal with claw like digits and blind eyes. The noise it made caused Sunset (and several others) to need new underpants. After causing Snips and Snails to run back inside the school, he turned to Twilight and spoke with a voice like the frigid winter air of a blizzard "You said the elements caused harmony right? Think you can use them to cool her temper?" Twilight had proceed to (with difficulty) activate the crown and call magic to this world, using it and the magic given to the other girls to bring Sunset's mind back into balance. She was much happier now, though she was still apologizing for her behavior to most of the students. AJ brought out a picture they had found of a creature which looked close to what he had turned into, only it had the head of a deer. "Near as we can tell the only thing that matches is something called a Wendigo, it's a critter from old folktales which comes out during winter and eats people who are lost and alone in the wilderness." With that not-so-cheerful news, the girls needed something to make them feel better now. Pinkie had hot coco ready in minutes (it was early but she felt it was appropriate). After a fortifying drink Sunset spoke up "We have a spirit in Equestria called the Windigo which causes cold and famine while feeding on strife, anger and fighting." After discussing this new information for a time and agreeing that Twilight seemed too nice to have intentionally brought something that could have killed them to the school, Sunset brought out her old journal. She had been using it to get back in touch with her old mentor with a quick question sent. The deed was done now all they could do was wait.
