She looked at the man who had a smile on his face. She walked forward meeting the man halfway. He had long black hair with a few grey strands and appeared to be six-five. His silver eyes displayed a sense of love and kindness as he stared at Celestia who reached his side.

"You did well, Celestia. You going to shift back anytime soon?" the man questioned.

The others crowded around me; Hunter and Theo held Finn, who was still unconscious and stood to my right. Caio and Cairus came to stand on my left.

She looked at us, stomping her hooves and shaking her head, walking around the man who grinned, chuckling softly.

"Right. Forgot about that minor detail," he replied.

"Wait...is that who I think it is?" Theo asked, looking stunned.

I gave him a curious look.

"Who?"

"Master Magnor Rune. He's a legend," Theo replied.

I frowned, the name sounded familiar, but I nodded in agreement and turned my attention back to Celestia.

The man turned his attention to us, his hand still stroking Celestia's mane.

"I guess you were right. They do match one female with a group of men. Hmph," the man named Magnor complained.

We exchanged looks of confusion.

He shook his head.

"Celestia, switch back. You're wasting magic and you and Sia are already unbalanced," Magnor continued.

Celestia huffed, walking around him.

"Why doesn't she want to shift back?" Hunter asked.

"She'd be naked, remember?" Caio rolled his eyes.

"It's because he hasn't shifted in ages. Hunter doesn’t remember I bet," Cairus whispered to his brother.

"You two are annoying together. I hope you realize that," Hunter grumbled.

"You just hate when they state the obvious," Theo replied.

I sighed.

"Just turn around and give her some privacy to shift back," I ordered.

They didn't delay, turning to give Celestia privacy.

"Wait, doesn't that mean Master Rune has to turn around too?" Caio whispered.

"We didn't even introduce ourselves," Cairus replied.

"Is the exam over?" Theo asked.

"Let's leave all the questions for after we get out of here," I suggested.

"Good point. On a side note, I really don't want to explain everything to Finn," Hunter complained.

We felt the shift of magic; a wave of wind blew past us and a warm light hit our backs. It took a minute to dim and we heard a weak sigh. I immediately turned around; my heart skipped a beat to see Celestia fall forward.
