Scalpel frotta les yeux d'un avant-gardiste à sa bourde, excusez Mme Lens, je m'attendais à ce que vous m'envoyiez un message, ne pas venir porter des nouvelles par vous-même, donc j'ai mal interprété votre présence ici.
Levant ses yeux pour rencontrer les siens une fois de plus, il sourit de moutons, mais maintenant que vous êtes ici, vous pouvez transmettre mon plan original à vos associés. Normalement, je les dirigerais ici pour faire des affaires, mais j'ai affaire à un client en ce moment... - Son sourcil sillonné dans des rainures profondes, - et je crois que la maison est surveillée par une entité plutôt désagréable que j'ai eu le malheur de rencontrer dans mes voyages.
Tournant la tête pour regarder derrière la chaise, une étincelle de magie allumée sur sa corne et une carte poussiéreuse a commencé à léviter à travers les airs. Tournant en arrière, il l'a décollé devant les yeux de Len et a pointé avec un marqueur lumineux vers un repère spécifique au milieu des bois de Whitetail non loin de Woodswatch.
Ce sera notre point de rendez-vous, terrain égal à partir duquel les deux parties feront le commerce, C'est un ancien site néolithique que j'ai découvert dans les anciennes cartes qui avaient été perdues et oubliées depuis des siècles. L'endroit est dispersé avec de nombreux groupes de cercles de pierre antiques avec un bloc titanique parfaitement circulaire au milieu d'elle, où de nombreux rites antédiluviens ont été pratiqués avant même le temps des Sœurs. Il est à quelques miles directement au sud de Woodswatch lui-même, mais assez loin que vous n'obteniez pas mal de sabots de la marche.
Il a roulé la carte et lui a lévité, attendant qu'elle la prenne avant de continuer.
Mes serviteurs vont bien sûr nettoyer la zone pour tous les éléments indésirables à l'avance, mais pendant l'accord, je maintiendrai n'acheté plus qu'une garde d'honneur afin de compenser toute tension nerveuse de vos associés.
Il s'est levé de son siège et a trottiné autour du bureau, traversant la pièce pour aider Nocturne avec le calibrage d'un appareil électrique et continuant la conversation à travers le craquement de la foudre apprivoisée, Si je suis heureux de l'échange – et par tous les témoignages si vous m'avez donné la bonne chose, je devrais- alors je pourrais même vous laisser purifier une partie de la grande scène que vous voyez en action autour de vous, après tout, vous aimez peu d'autres semblent avoir une appréciation pour mes études.
La porte s'est soudainement ouverte et l'un des Sphères a traversé, brossant les oreilles de Len, avant de s'arrêter devant le médecin et bobant d'urgence sur lui, -Risen Master Tsan déclare que le client est revenu de son voyage, il déclare que le client est définitivement revenu avec quelque chose de précieux!-Scalpel sourit à la machine et l'a patté sur ce qui aurait été sa tête avec amour. Avertissant son regard, il regarda à nouveau Len, le sourire restant sur son visage comme il l'a fait avant de parler une fois de plus.
Il semble que les affaires m'attirent le Dr Lens, je dois voir à mon client moins que patient en ce qui concerne ses... besoins. Notre rencontre aura lieu environ une heure avant minuit dans l'endroit spécifié, ce qui est dans quelques heures, assez de temps pour que vous regagniez votre sobriété sans aucun doute...- Il lui a donné un clin d'œil ludique à ce, son visage rayonnant dans l'amusement,--si vous avez des questions avant que je parte et mes Sphères vous guident s'il vous plaît les élever, sinon je vous offre adieu jusqu'à plus tard ce soir Dr Lens.

Au-dessus dans les demeures au rez-de-chaussée, Tsan a frappé sur la figure retournée d'Amaretto et l'a regardé avec la douceur que seul un cyborg équine pouvait rassembler, Le Docteur a été informé de votre retour, il sera ici peu pendant qu'il termine son travail. S'il vous plaît, restez ici jusqu'à son arrivée. » Avec cela, il est devenu silencieux et s'est positionné à côté de la porte d'où Amaretto était revenu, maintenant une veille constante sur le poney afin qu'il ne se soit pas mis en erreur. L'ensemble de la situation était calme à part deux sphères bourdonnantes qui entrèrent dans la porte dans leur habituelle bonne humeur, saisi un livre dans un sort de lévitation, et descendu dans les entrailles de la maison sombre une fois de plus.
Name: Astral Spectrum
Species: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Appearance: Cyan fur and pitch black mane and tail. Mane has streaks of grey through them, showing his age. Eyes are cobalt blue. Cutie mark is a magic circle that once held the colors of the rainbow but is now a faded grey. Center of the magic circle resembles a cat-like eye. Body has runes burned into it marking his dabbling in dark magic. Forelegs also covered in scars from his foalhood. Usually wears a dark brown cloak when not in his priest robes to cover his marks and scars.
Talent: His talent is his ability to scry, a rare form of magic which allows someone to see into the Aether. His magical sight is by far the best in MaS second only to Archmagister Twilight Sparkle’s. As well he is blessed with insight that has more than once brought him good fortune including his position.
Personality: Spectrum believes that if you want anything in this world you must work for it. He has little to no patience for those that waste his time. He despises laziness and pomposity and will put someone in their place when he deems it necessary. His brutal honesty puts him at odds with Head Inquisitor Lulamoon more often than not. Ironically there is a grueling respect between the two because they both came from humble beginnings as opposed to the rest of the Ruling ponies of Moon and Stars. Despite his high rank in MaS he doesn’t believe that unicorns are the superior race. His own apprentice is an earth pony that has shown herself extremely clever having broken out of the domes more than once. He rewards those who show tenacity, ambition, and most of all will to survive. In crisis he is calm cool and collected.
Spellbook:
Spectrum has mastered quite a few spells in his time. He has knowledge of Elemental magic and knows ice magic due to his position as High Priest of the Moon Guild. Umbramancy is one of is most skilled powers but his best spells reside in his Divination.
Breathe of the Windego: Surrounds large area in a bone chilling mist. Expelled from caster’s mouth. (Incanted)
Shadow Tendrils: Shadows rise around the caster into inky black tendrils. Once formed they can be either warm or chillingly cold. As well when the caster focuses the tendrils will send a shock of pain through the captured target.
Shade Warp: Caster teleports silently from shadow to shadow.
Other spells include basic levitation, an ice needle spell and a cold light spell.
Background: Spectrum was born in a small fishing village in the small broken Freelands across the Sea of Harmony. His mother was once a noble mare but upon his birth she was cast out for infidelity. From there she was forced to become a prostitute to survive. When Spectrum was born she blamed him for her misfortune and even went so far as to name him Jadno which in the Mother Tongue means ‘Pathetic‘. His life as a foal was that of pain. He scrimped for food and whenever his mother was lucid enough she beat him mercilessly.
After his thirteenth birthday and one particularly bad beating he went to the docks with the idea to drown himself and end his suffering. Instead Spectrum found himself stowing away on a vessel bound for Equestria. Sure enough he was found out and the captain wanted to throw him overboard but a scholar by the name of Dusty Tome saved his life. On the way to Equestria he taught Spectrum to read and even gave him his name.
Dusty found the young colt had a gift for languages and spells and had promised to take him to Canterlot and see him through school. A week before they made port though they were hit by a fierce storm. Sadly Dusty Tome was killed by one of the falling masts and when they came to port Spectrum was forced to escape lest the captain kill him. With nothing else to do and the scholar’s books in tow he set off toward Canterlot intent on making something of himself.
Along the way he taught himself to wield magic from the books. Soon enough he also found his talent along the way. Unfortunately it resembled his mother’s, much to his dismay. Upon coming to Canterlot he found a job as an apprentice to a lawyer named Valid Point. The old earth stallion saw a sly intelligence in the colt and on a hunch hired him. Within a year Spectrum had enough to enroll in the Celestial Magic Academy, with the help of a scholarship and no small thanks to Valid of course.
Here he met Silver Scalpel, a rival and lifelong friend. He looked up to Silver for his ambition and skill in the medical field and more than once had to really ‘step up his game‘ when it came to academic scores. Silver was the only one he trusted with his past, a sore subject for him. Within a decade Spectrum graduated with full honors and a Doctorate in Magical Theory. Even after that he continued to expand his knowledge of the magical field until he came into possession of hints of a powerful field of magic.
With his future secure when the House of Moon and Star Rose up he worked diligently to perfect spells within the Moon Guild and much of his Umbramancy he mastered under the Thestrals. he holds a high regard for their stealthy nature and has learned to fight magically from them. They respect him and within a few short years became High Presit of the Moon Guild, they became fiercely loyal to him.
Goals: Spectrum wishes to see Equestria return to its age of prosperity but wishes to see it done through the hooves of its people and not some God. Unfortunately his time his short as a debilitating disease threatens to end him before he can see Equestria united and prosperous. He is now in a race against time to seek his old friend whom he believes is the key to unlocking pony kind’s potential.
