Nyeh... But why can't they be precognizant of it. I don't want to think... I already screwed up with that Shadowy Figure. Curse him/her...

BECAUSE IF EVERYBODY IS FUCKING OMNISCIENT AND OMNIPOTENT WHAT IS THE POINT IN THIS STORY ARC TO BEGIN WITH.
WHY DIDN'T WE JUST BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EPONA WHEN HE FIRST ARRIVED IF WE ALREADY KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE EVIL BECAUSE WE'RE ALL SO FUCKING OMNISCIENT

I meant precognizant in the sense that they knew about it before the story began (e.g. Tatzel knew about the ball), not in terms of omnicient. Sorry, I wasn't clear.
Edit: Okay, let me think of something that doesn't seem rushed.

Tatzel already told you that you either need to come up with something else, Angel.

iconsting looked up, seeing that the scene has ended. "Well, I'd hate to be in her position." He said, walking away back to his manor. "Have fun kiddies." He chuckled, removing the bag and tossing it aside.

(Hoo boy this is a long one)
Peter slipped away from the crowd amongst the confusion, heading towards the castle. Specifically, it's expansive library.
There's no way a magician of this caliber and wretched evilness has gone undocumented, he thought. I'm sure somebody with magic as powerful as his would be in at least one book.
He arrived in the large room, full of bookcases and shelves. It seemed dusty and rarely used, except a dainty little corner with a little table, all coloured in red. He presumed this is where Princess Torizo reads her nighttime stories of Magic and Jellies.
What he was searching for wasn't very hard to find. The selection was varied, and years of disuse left the library in a perfectly categorized state. All he had to do was look in the non-fiction section, narrow it down to biographies, and find the area dealing with sorcerers. He pulled out a dusty, ragged book. It was obvious no one had any knowledge of it's existence for probably decades. It was titled simply, "EPONA".
" Long ago, the kingdom came over siege by a dark and powerful sorcerer. Nobody knew where he came from, or how he had gotten such power, but he made it clear that every living thing should know and fear the name: Epona."
Now he was sure he had the right book. He skipped ahead near the end of the book, hoping to find more.
"The battle victorious, the wicked wizard fled back to his castle. Many attacks were made to cease his dreadful life, but to no avail. His castle was protected by three magical locks, which no weapon could penetrate. The only key that is known of is in the possession of a great dragon beast. Although young, it is very dangerous, and the toughest of soldiers were no match for it's powers. It lives in a great cave to the East, and since then, no man dares near it's path."
Peter suddenly had a flashback, years ago from his kinhood. He never dwelled upon it many times since it first happened, but it suddenly made sense to him now...
He neared the cave, hearing the growls and snorts of a sleeping beast. He looked at the bright jewel on it's neck. It shimmered brilliantly, making sparkles in his eyes. Just as he was staring, the beast woke up with a start, and roared at him. Peter fled the cave, flying as fast as his little wings could take him. He never went near that part of the mountains again, and it was as such for the rest of his life...
He continued reading, these thoughts burning brightly in his mind.
"The sorcerer's castle, despite all attempts, would not break it's hold. Though as the attacks increased, a strange event occurred. The castle shimmered against the sky, and vanished into thin air. The search for the sorcerer and his castle were long-going, but no results were ever turned in. The location of this man remains a mystery even today..."
Peter looked at the date on the book.
That's 200 years ago! No wonder nobody has heard of this evil wizard...
He left the library, turning down the castle's corridors and hallways until he reached outside again. Many of the guests were still at a loss of what to do, but Peter cleared his throat and held the book up in the air.
"Excuse me, but if anyone would like to join me, this book leads me to believe there are some keys we should be looking for..."

tatzel, if you find the time, i think you should update the first post with a list of people involved, and a brief bio (just what they are), it could be very helpful.

As if she doesn't have enough to do.
I'd volunteer though since I won't be able to update tomorrow.

Anyone willing to help out give either Tatzel or I a shout, and we'll put you to work, haha.
Also, your update was marvelous Unba.

Perhaps you'll pass by Yonder Hill where I reside playing my Mandolin?
If so, I'll draw that scene, but I'll need to know who's in your group. Also, drawing references.
