"Indeed it would. You have a lot of potential, I feel." Alice heard the knock and sent Shanghai to open the door... preparing a laser just in case it was someone dangerous. The doll opened the door. "Identify yourself, please."
Shining Armor shrugged slightly. "I don't know, Twiley... I hope so, though; I bet he'd be a big help..."

Before she had a chance, the grinning young dragon was already peeking around Alice and did so for her. "Cynder!"

Cynder looked a tad panicked to be answered in such a fashion... However Spike came to her rescue, leading to her smiling a bit at the friendly young face. "Ah Spike!" She nodded to him before looking to Alice. "You have no reason to worry. I'm a friend. The name is Cynder."
As she walked in, she looked upon the living space taking in it's simplistic design, looking decidedly foreign in origin. Perhaps from Marissa's world? "Nice place."
--------------------------------------------
Twilight nodded a bit at Shining. "He would. No denying that." Letting out a breath. "Well... Even then, there's not a lot we can do right now until we fully heal. Alice and Shanghai wouldn't even let me leave my bed without help earlier..." She grumbled a bit. "I didn't even need the help though. I wasn't even hurt that much from earlier..."
Hurt or not, Twilight seemed to be drooping a bit as she said this. Perhaps now that she knew her BBBFF was going to be alright and everyone had gotten out of the situation alive, her earlier worrying was finally taking it's toll, sapping the last amounts of her strength. "I'm just... ... W-wow... Was I always this exhausted..?" The mare said with a yawn.

Alice called the doll back, nodding. "Pleasure to meet you. My name is Alice Margatroid. Make yourself comfortable..." The magician began to boil more water for tea, going into the kitchen.
Shining yawned as well, his emotional outburst earlier sapping his strength much like his sister. "I dunno... I'm exhausted..." The stallion half-fell backwards onto the pillow, his eyes shutting. The stallion slept quite a bit more peacefully, knowing his sister was right next to him.

Spike approached the older dragon with a smile and a wave. "Great to see you're doing OK, Cynder," he told her. "Especially after what...well," he shrugged awkwardly, knowing no one probably wanted to really think about it that much, "what happened at the mall and everything..."

From where she sat, Twilight looked down to her BBBFF and gave him a gentle smile... Letting out a tired sigh she lay down on the bed next to him, falling asleep within seconds....
And there the two rested on, heedless of the conversation in the other room...
---------------------------------------
"No kidding..." She let out a tired sigh and jumped up onto the couch, careful not to claw a hole into the upholstery, whether it be with her claws or with the sharp blade at the end of her tale, and sat her body down onto it's comfiness. Her head however remained raised, looking to Spike and the others. "I apologize for my abrupt arrival, but I was asked by that wizard... Gantz is his name I think, that I follow you here. He seemed to believe that my powers would be better served here."
She let out a sigh. "And... Well... I won't deny that I have a personal reason for coming here as well..."

The magician youkai brought over a few cups of tea, her dolls offering cups to Spike and Cynder; Alice had one of her own. "Is that so? Marisa did tell me a bit about what transpired when she came to and this 'Gantz' fellow seems quite interesting. If I may ask... what is your personal reason?" Alice sat down on a chair near the couch, looking at Cynder.

Spike gladly accepted his cup and sipped at the tea. While it wasn't gemstones, it was nice to get something in his belly after a good rest. He looked Cynder's way, just as curious as to what she'd respond.

Though it took Cynder a moment to figure out how to work with a cup, she eventually settled for sinking her teeth gently into the glass and lifting it up so the drink can drop into her mouth. She had to admit, she rather liked the taste of the odd drink. "Hmmm..." She gulped down the drink after a moment. "Not bad..."
Noticing the looks, she nodded her head and looked between her two listeners. She took a second to clear her throat. "Well.... Thinking back on what I saw back at the mall and certain factors coming into mind..." She looked to Spike. "Spike... Have you always been capable of magic?" She tilted her head, "You see... Back where I come from, purple dragons... their very very rare.. And for good reason."
Taking in Spike, she sat up. "Purple dragons are very special. Sorta like avatars of pure magical energy. My friend Spyro? He's responsible for saving our world back home from an evil dragon named Malefor..." She shakes her head. "I'm not saying your a Purple Dragon in that sense... But perhaps that might have something to do with how you called up that powerful attack against Exdeath."

Alice took another sip of her cup, before putting a hand to her chin in thought. "Actually, if I may interject... I don't believe that what Spike did then was magic, from what Marisa and Michael described. What we do, Danmaku... it manifests itself in a multitude of ways. Marisa, myself, and another Youkai magician named Patchouli... we all use our magic power to create the 'bullets'... but the other two believe that he manifested that power through an inner energy, more physical in nature, known as Chi. That having been said, it's still quite impressive, considering his age; at that point, at least in humans and some Youkai, the Chi pathways in the body are still developing."
Cynder's comment about the evil dragon piqued her interest. "I find it interesting you mention that... in Gensokyo, my homeworld, dragons are legendary figures... said to have incredible power. They also haven't appeared in Gensokyo in nearly 1,800 years, around when a powerful Youkai named Yukari created that world. If I may ask..." Alice sent Shanghai to get a notepad and pencil. "What makes a Purple Dragon like that? I'd think that a dragon with that kind of power... of that state... would be colored golden or something similar."

Spike stared into his cup as Cynder and Alice spoke; he should've guessed it had something to do with that. After a bit of an awkward pause, he finally spoke up quietly, "I'm not really sure what I did... Only thing I remember was seeing that demon take everyone down, and I kind of panicked and sort of...blacked out..."
He thought back on his past, considering Alice's words of how advanced his chi paths were at his age compared to some others she'd seen use such abilities. "Princess Celestia once told me she found me as an egg and later passed me onto the gifted unicorns school as an entry exam. That's how Twilight got assigned to hatch me back when she was a filly," he explained. He paused for a minute as if contemplating something before adding, "The princess said she could sense from my egg that I was a 'very special dragon', but I didn't think much of it at the time..."

Cynder took in Spike's story a moment, allowing it to sink in. "I see...." Considering what she had heard, the female dragon was both surprised and not surprised. Then she recalled Alice's question.
"Well, I don't really know the answer to that question myself. A lot of the other dragons believe that the Purple Dragon is like the forces of nature personified. Whenever one is born, it usually means great change is coming for the world itself." She looked to Alice, "That evil dragon I mentioned? Malefor? He was actually a purple dragon himself. He just gave himself over to darkness and became obsessed with the idea of destroying the Dragon Worlds." She let out a sigh. "Thankfully he was sealed away... However he had his followers, who tried to bring him back. By the time he did come back though, Spyro had been born, and had been trained up by the Dragon Elders."
Her wings twitch upward in a kind of shrug like motion. "Thankfully though, Malefor's no longer a problem, and Spyro is the only Purple Dragon I know. He's also a good friend."

Alice had written down what Cynder had said, thinking to herself. "That's quite interesting... that doesn't sound unlike what dragons are said to be like in Gensokyo... much like a force of nature... with great power. I might have to do some research on this sometime. I'd like to talk to that friend of yours sometime."

"Yeah, me too," Spike chimed in with a grin. "He sounds pretty cool."

"Yeah... He is pretty cool." Cynder smiled as fond memories of her friend came to mind. "You see, Spyro and I are very close... We were practically starting a life with each other before we came here to the island."
She let out a breath. "I do hope he's okay. Sure he can take care of himself, but this island has more then promised to have some very dangerous competition."
