After the light had completely disappeared, the jewels lay motionless on the ground and would have been shrouded in darkness if it weren't for Starlight's light.
"Is this normal here? But what exactly happened now?" Ferkó asked with a slightly scared and puzzled voice.
"Well, this isn't too ordinary either," Smolder replied, emitting smoke.
Ferkó suddenly tried to direct his magic into his eyes, and when he succeeded, the entire cell became a little brighter.
"What are you doing for Celestia's sake?" Starlight asked Ferkó because of his large pale yellow eyes that were sparkling and sparkling.
"Well, I read that if you lead the magic into your eyes, you can see the magic of the surrounding things, and I can't believe it's still working even if it stings a bit," Ferkó replied rather straightforwardly.
Starlight tried to imitate him, but it didn't work very well. Meanwhile, Ferkó looked at the jewels, and he saw incredible magic compared to his surroundings, almost blinding. He cautiously picked up the brooch and clipped it to his mane. Unexpectedly, a blue light began to flicker around him. He was suddenly terrified, and the magic quickly disappeared from his eyes, but even without it, he could clearly see the fading light. Eventually, a blue peacock-tailed creature emerged from the fading light.
"Hi, I'm Dusu," said the strange creature in a thin, almost childlike voice.
"Wait, you can see him too, right?" Ferkó asked, a mix of anxiety and fear in his voice.
"Yes, but that still doesn't mean we know who he is or what this is," Ocellus replied, recoiling a bit.
"Oh, so unicorn ponies are forgetful. Starlight denied it a few days ago," the cheerful little Dusu explained.
"Starlight, who is this little creature?" Ferkó asked, a bit demanding.
"Well, I'll tell you," Starlight said, although not too enthusiastically. "Dusu is one of the 15 beings who guard the worlds from the beginning. Each of them is tied to a unique jewel and empowers their users with special powers that no other magic can provide."
"I see. They're like kwamis and these are talismans," Ferkó declared impatiently. "Exactly. But how do you know that?" Starlight asked in amazement.
"I've read a lot of books about Equestria in my own world," Ferkó said somewhat arrogantly.
"Now that we've cleared that up, can we move on?" Smolder asked, getting increasingly nervous.
"Given the circumstances, shouldn't we use these?" Ocellus asked, pointing to the talismans.
"Actually, it's not a bad idea... Uh... Dusu, open my wings," Starlight said, angrily looking at Ferkó, who didn't let him speak. Ferkó ended up in a beautiful peacock-like outfit with a strange fan in his wing.
"Oh, sorry, what were you going to say, Starlight?" Ferkó asked, realizing his mistake.
Starlight's response was concise and to the point: "It doesn't matter anymore because someone can't control themselves," and he pointed at Ferkó, who suddenly felt very embarrassed. Soon, the others also transformed. Ocellus looked like a fox, with a bushy tail, and a flute in her paw; Smolder resembled a black cat; and Starlight turned into a bird-like creature with star-throwing stars hidden in her wings.
"Now, let's clean up," Ferkó said as he stood by the cell door with his black bag.
"Wait, we can't leave it like this. We'd get caught right away," Ocellus said and suddenly produced a flute and started playing it. Starlight suddenly appeared and then Smolder and Ocellus, exact duplicates of the ones in the cell. The signs of the cuts disappeared quickly, and they moved in the direction from which the guard who brought lunch had come.
