What was this city? What was its purpose? Why was it here? What had happened to its original inhabitants? So many questions swarmed Theá's mind, each of them vying for her attention and trying to push all the others away. Why had she reacted so violently? Was there any innocents caught in the devastation? Had she been the course of innocent deaths? She hoped not. She really did not hope that her rage had been the course of innocent blood being spilled... but then again, there was nothing she could've done if that was the case. The town had been swarming with cultists, alive or dead, walking or crawling. How could anyone but a god have survived in there? She sighed and rested her head on her hooves, closing them for a brief moment.

She had half a minute's rest before a voice she recognised all too well piped up from beside her. "How're you doing?" it asked, with genuine concern filling the voice.

Theá opened her eyes and looked to the side, meeting the eyes of a concerned Meelo. "Tired," she replied with a small grunt. "That wasn't easy."

"I didn't think it was, either." He mumbled something unintelligible after that and looked over the crater. "What happened?" 

Theá sighed, seeing no way out of this. God or not, she wouldn't just ignore the questions... especially not when it was about this. She valued Meelo's loyalty to her and the information he gave her about the Moon & Star going on's. Not telling him what had happened might make him think she had slaughtered innocents. She didn't want him, or anyone, to think that. Shuffling her wings into a more comfortable position, and subsequently hissing from a wound that had yet to close, she told him what had happened. 

"I walked into the city and found no one. I looked around, even called for a doctor but received no response. What's worse, I could feel no presences whatsoever in there. There seemed to be no ponies there, but I kept seeing shadows out the corner of my eye. I dismissed them seeing as I sensed nothing." She chuckled. "Godly arrogance comes and bites me in the flank. Just like some mythologies, eh? Regardless, I continue towards the centre of time and eventually come upon a group of two hundred or so ponies. I asked if any of them were doctors and one stallion says that all of them are to some degree. I ask some to follow me because of the ten unicorns that I injured. He says no, I ask why, and a Smiling Doll attacks me... How are the unicorns doing, by the way?" 

Meelo seemed somewhat surprised at the quick change of subject, but answered nonetheless. "They're fine. The seven that weren't killed outright at currently waiting for medical aid. I had to put them all under a sleeping spell since they didn't want to stay still, however... they wanted to go after you even after you had shattered their binding spell." He paused, looked at the debris filled crater again, then looked back to Theá's prone form. "What happened then?"

The alicorn sighed and looked out at the smouldering ruins as well. "I killed the Doll, and when I turned back towards the group of ponies they were all carrying weapons, and then charged at me. I had no choice but to fight as more undead and other dolls stormed out from the houses surrounding me and started attacking. I killed several, crushed, cut and impaled, but they kept coming. It continued like that for what felt like half an hour before I secluded myself in a barrier to let my wounds heal before I continued fighting. While I had been fighting, I had also been running around the town, searching for any survivors or non-cultists, but I didn't find any. While I was within my barrier, I was nursing my wing which had got a nasty cut. I was too preoccupied with watching the wound slowly heal that I didn't notice some of the living unicorns among the cultists create an opening in my barrier. A Smiling Doll made its way through and swung at me, cutting my wing clean off. It clicked for me, I lost it and I unleashed my full power which lead to this. It took away what I'm the most proud of, and I would stand for it no more... so I killed [i]everything[/i] in the town." 

Meelo nodded. It made sense, he thought, that she would lose it over her wing being cut off. He'd seen her take good care of them, and the fact that she flew so often was a good sign that she was proud of them, and liked flying. "Alright... Guess there's nothing we can do for them, then. Unless you have any ide-"

"Meelo. Hide, somepony's coming." Meelo obeyed, taking on his Nightmare form and sinking into the ground.

Theá lay still as the presence neared her. She'd been lying still ever since she had decimated the town in front of her; recuperating, regaining her strength and waiting for her wounds to heal. She cracked an eye open and looked at the carnage before her, surveying the area before her, noting the burnt corpses, destroyed buildings and, most of all, the massive crater it was all huddled in. [i]Mortals do make quite the sturdy structures,[/i] she mused, wondering how exactly she had created a city-wide crater but hadn't destroyed every house. A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but fell away again as the pony she had sensed before came into view and walked up to her. She had closed her eyes again once he got within sight of her. 

When he finally addressed she opened her eyes and raised her head, looking him dead in the eyes; her deep blue ones piercing his lighter blue. While she was exhausted, she wouldn't let this mortal know to just what extend. She knew, however, that she still had more than enough power to squash him should be prove, well, not a threat, but a nuisance and obstacle. 

"Doctor, you say?" She raised an eyebrow, challenging him to deny the claim. "Yes, and no. I am in no need of help. Others, however, are." She stood up and quivered her wings, getting the blood flow going. Her horn lit and the blood covering her body lifted off of her body and formed a blob in front of her which then burned away until nothing remained. [i]If there was one thing Mother told us, it was to not just let our blood and feathers stay behind if we ever got wounded.[/i] To the stallion she said. "Not far off, there are a group of ten unicorns, three of which are dead, that needs medical attention. If you're a doctor, please follow me and help them." She turned around and took a half dozen steps towards where she knew the unicorns were located, then stopped and craned her neck behind her, looking at the unicorn stallion, and raised an eyebrow. "Well?" 

[i]Already getting stoic and borderline arrogant again. You sure do recover fast, Theá,[/i] Meelo thought with a proverbial eyeroll from his position beneath her, hiding in her shadow.
