"What manner of species speaks in such a voice?"

Quill was starting to wonder if anything would seem normal to him after this experience. But Bonbon seemed to be determined if not calm around it so it couldn't pose any immediate threat.

"We didn't get you out of there just for you to get captured again. No, you need to get out of here as well. But..." Bon Bon hesitates.

"We will not leave." Comes Grace's defiant and made up voice.

"We must help."
" But we cannot be captured."
"We must think on this..."

Sounds like something important is going on."

He says as they approach the turn.

"We are not alone."
"We are not alone."
"We are not alone."

the voices say suddenly as they near the turn.

"Who's there?" challanges Grace.

"It is just hope and myself."

Quill calls.

"With, I think a side of goat for our, guest."

He says as he walks out into the open so they could see him.

A large set of Jaws clamp just in front of his face as four heads, one just in front of him, stare him down.
"Be it friend or foe?" asks another voice, unheard of before now. It has a more metallic sound, like the ringing of a bell. It's almost... feminine
The head in front of your face growls before it is cut off by a bonk on the nose from Hope

"Leave Quill alone, It. He's a friend. Bon Bon's special friend." The head yelps softly before retreating and sniffing at the meat.

"She brings food for we?" the head asks.

"Us."

Quill says under his breath as he joins the group.

"I suppose it goes without saying that we've heard enough to get the gist that we are not sure who's going or who's staying."

]"No We. It's It's turn." She says scoldingly.

the head lowers a bit, almost sad before another of the heads perk up, eyeing the meat.

"Oh good. He is awake and here. Though are you sure he is ready little one?" Grace asks of Hope, who is wagging the hunk of meat in front of three of the heads, who follow it hungrily.

"What? Oh. Yeah. He's fine as long as he is careful on the leg." she says absentmindedly before tossing the hunk of meat to 'It', the second head from the left.

Bon bon Glances over at Quill, but then returns to Grace. "You really won't think of it? Can't they be taken elsewhere? Anywhere?"

"And where would we go, dear?" Asks another new voice of Bon bon. Out from behind Grace steps another Snow white dragon. She, for it must be based on the feminine voice, looks much like Leatherbound. her skin has a look of leather and her eyes are a blaring pink. She carries herself on two legs still, wings unformed.

Quill gives Bonbon an apologetic look. One of those that says you were right and I was insensitive. His attention was diverted by the new dragon.

"Two albinos out of a single generation? That's... very hard to comprehend."

"What about the Mountain range? And aren't there still dragon lands just outside the border of Equestria?"

Quill asks, trying to get up to speed with everyone else.

"If those lands were safe, do you not think we would have gone there to roost? No. Those lands are not an option."

"Besides. How would we move all of my siblings? Eggs are fragile you know." she answers with a slight titter.

"There must be something... Any way to move them?"

Hope is completely removed from this conversation, playing with a couple of the heads.

Of the two heads paying attention, only one speaks.
"We carry, we help. We owe to scaled ones."

"I don't mean to be rude, and I apologize for what may sound crass but what are you? I know what you look like but... according to all the research I've done you shouldn't exist, if you are in deed a hydra. How came you to us?"

The two middle heads turn to focus on Quill, one remaining in the conversation with the others, the last's attention on Hope.

"You speak of We?"
"We came from there. And are now here. We have always been. Live among trees. Changed by her."

Quill rubs his forehead. he would have to piece things together.

"I can only assume by her you mean either Fluttershy or her psycho vet from hell. But if I get you right you are an ancient hydra unknown to exist for hundreds of years. This is unreal. It's like if you told me there was an Ursa Major out there. Ok so you were changed by Fluttershy, ad you've been running from her for a wile then. How did she change you?"

all four voices answer at the same time
"We speak. We think. We reason."
"We speak. We think. We reason."
"We speak. We think. We reason."
"We speak. We think. We reason."

their attentions are now specifically on Quill. This sudden attention to the pony seems to draw the curiosity of the others as well as the hydra continues to use all four voices at once. Something about their manner of speech changes as well. More fluid...more...cognitive.
"We have lived these lands for many years. Before the hoofed ones arrived. Before they stopped fearing the trees."
"We have lived these lands for many years. Before the hoofed ones arrived. Before they stopped fearing the trees."
"We have lived these lands for many years. Before the hoofed ones arrived. Before they stopped fearing the trees."
"We have lived these lands for many years. Before the hoofed ones arrived. Before they stopped fearing the trees."

their voice split again and they answer in turn.
"We were rage"

"We were hunger"

"we were jealousy"

"And I...I was pride."

their voices merge again as their speech becomes more elegant.

"We were separate, yet one. And then she changed us. We are one now, yet separate. Now we are named."
"We were separate, yet one. And then she changed us. We are one now, yet separate. Now we are named."
"We were separate, yet one. And then she changed us. We are one now, yet separate. Now we are named."
"We were separate, yet one. And then she changed us. We are one now, yet separate. Now we are named."

again their voices split and they give, in simplicity, an introduction.

they start from the farthest right.
"Now we are Invidia."

"We are Gula."

"We are Ira."

"And I am Superbia."

once more their voice merge as they finish.

"And you, we know from the caves. Your smell, we remember. Why do we remember you?"
"And you, we know from the caves. Your smell, we remember. Why do we remember you?"
"And you, we know from the caves. Your smell, we remember. Why do we remember you?"
"And you, we know from the caves. Your smell, we remember. Why do we remember you?"


Those assembled listen quietly, awestruck by the display. None of them seems to have witnessed it do anything like what they have just done.

" Invidia, Gula, Ira, Superbia,"

He addresses them in turn.

"You remember my smell because I was there. Outcast by the ponies. those you call the hoofed ones Bonbon and I were found and captured by her minions. She took me and changed me too. Unlocked a rage and more feral part of me, you may be immune to what she has done to me because of your changes, but she made me able to command creatures who are like you were. She meant me to be her weapon but I escaped."

He answered. This creature had more in common with him than her thought. they were both taken and made something they perhaps shouldn't be, because of fluttershy.

One of the heads move forward, a great mind behind the eyes as it gives you a looking over. It sniffs once before the eyes dull and the intelligence retreats to be replaced by the simple-mindedness of before.

He wondered if the others had gone simple again as Ira did. He looked up at them to see if they had. He still had questions, among them was if he would be able to command them with the stare or the voice.

The other heads once again have returned to what they were doing before, striking up conversation with Bon bon and the dragons and nipping at the distracted Hope. It's almost like the intelligence was forgotten.

"Um Ira right? What was it like before the hoofed one's were here?"

Quill wanted to know if the voice would work but didn't think it would be well received in any outcome. he also resolved to only try to use it if he needed to, so he was trying to tread lightly.

He studies you, looks like he is remembering at the same time. "quiet. Wide. I roamed far. Saw much. much has changed. Hoof-house and hoof-metal change land. Not the same."
