The Grove was dark, it was dreary. There were shadows that moved and voices that didn't always stay in your head. Any pony who wandered in, wandered out with stories of horror and fear. It wasn't a place for innocence. That much was sure. Well...that's what The Grove would love for you to think. Actually, there was a small space where The Grove protected the foals that wandered in. It was in this grassy meadow, small rolling hills...a gentle creek. A circle of saplings provided shade if the Sun was too much. There was even a small collection of caverns for the foals to explore. Yes, there were gems hidden within these caves. As there was hidden treasures all over the area for foals to take away as a memento of their time there. This area was called, The Nursery. It was here that Archanee was playing for the day. The small hybrid was bouncing around after a butterfly. A little lonely...he didn't have any other foals to play with back at the cottage. Though, he knew all he had to do was call and Nox...or Pyrus would swoop in. His Daddy not far behind them. He stopped then sat on a hill. "I'm bored...."

Scarlet stumbled into the grove quite by accident, with her mane thick and on front of her face. "Wh.. Where is this?" She said hearing the rather eerie noises. Stumbling into Various trees and rocks before finding the meadow. She sat on her hind legs and parted her mane to see where she was. It looked a lot prettier than she thought it might in a place that sounded a bit creepy.
She heard the sound of another foal nearby swiveling her deer like ears in the direction of the voice before she turned her head. "Hi?" she said cautiously.

Arc perked as he heard another voice, his tail giving a small growl. The foal getting a sense of unease from his other side. With a hum he stood up to trot off towards the new sound. Seeing another foal he tilted his head. "Hi there! Did you get lost?"

The voices were easy enough to follow. That's what lead him here.The dark and scary area didn't bother him at all. The lighter brighter area made him squint. Aacutenieuml did enjoy the warmth though. He couldn't stand the cold. He looked behind him and considered trying to head back home but that would mean being scolded by his mother for sneaking out of the classes she had sent him too. They didn't have as sharp of sense as his mother so escaping the school was easier then escaping his mother's ears.How far from home he was he didn't know.

Arc blinked as he watched the tree branches sway, alerting him to a newcomer. He looked to the shy foal. "I'll be right back, you can hide in the grass if your scared." he then trotted off towards another new foal. Seeing one with eyes like Archanos. He bounced up to them. "HI!!! You look like my Daddy's best friend, only I think Daddy wants him as more than friends cuz Daddy refers to him as my Papa when he's not around. Daddy told me that he didn't want me to tell Papa that he's called Papa, so I have to call him Uncle. Only I don't like that cuz he's super cool and I like him....what was I starting off with?"His head tilted to one side, the braid in it draping over his back. Behind him a growl was heard as he looked back to his tail. "What Poof?!"

Aacutenieuml took a deep breath when the strange foal cam up and just kept talking. “ uhh….I’m not sure what you were starting with. All of that stuff that’s ….nice. My father was demon but my mother liked him. .. you have a horn like my mother.” He had no idea what all the father, papa, uncle stuff was about. That made no sense to him. He noticed the tail growled and tilted his head to look at it. His top eyes were wide and his bottom set narrowed. That was interesting. His own tail twitched. He circled around and looked closely at the other foal. “ That’s actually really cool you have a talking tail.”Poof? That was its name? that was odd. “I’m Annie. What’s your name?” it wasn’t his full name but he hated it when people said his name wrong so he used Annie most of the time. “Where is this pace? Why is this part all light when there isn’t?” He looked back to the place with the voices that lead him here.

Arc chuckled. "Archanee Web, but most ponies call me Arc. Uhm...its just how the Grove is...ah. The light." he looks up to the heavy canopy above them. Interesting note as the trees were so thickly woven together it was odd for this area to be bathed in light. "Its stored up Moonlight and Starlight from the Crystalum Trees." he nodded to the trees around them. "The only Uncle I have that knows the most about this place isn't home right now. He's working." he smiled at Annie. "Mhm! I'm part Ghoulie, their a really cool race who have...sen---tee---ent...." slowly pronouncing the really hard word his Daddy used. "Tails. Poof is still really young so he's not as smart as Papa's tail. There's a Ghoulie who lives with us with THREE tails. Their all really cool and let me hide in them when I don't wanna eat my veggies."He flopped to lay on his side, sitting usually hurt Poof so the foal had taken to just falling. "As for where you are...No clue. I just know this is called The Dark Grove and everyone who's Lost usually wind up here."

Arc that was a nice name. So this place was the grove. The light made no sense. Looking up with the other foal. He didn’t understand the Crystalum trees either. That was odd. Maybe he might ask the uncle about it later. Ghoulie and Unicorn. That was an odd combination. Annie nodded his head. “ Sentient. That’s the word. Mom told me stories about Ghoulies and Unicorns and lots of others too. Ghoulies have sentient tails that can eat and bite, and have their own things they like and don’t. I’m part ghoulie too. And part dragon. I don’t have a talking tail though.” He waved his own tail about to show. Sitting his tail curled over his back claws. He had never heard of a ghoulie with three tails. It would be nice to be able to hide if you didn’t want to eat vegetables. He didn’t have to of course given the fact his mother couldn’t see but she did tell him what happened if one didn’t eat their veggies long enough and that was scary enough he always at his veggies now. Maybe he should tell the other foal about that latter.
“I’m not lost though. The classes were boring so I snuck out. It was easier to come here then to try and hide at home. My mother has good ears.” All of his eyes narrowed at the thought.

tab Kiwi trailed after his mother, eyes lowered to the ground nervously. He hadn't enjoyed the walk, but his mother had kept him safe at her side. They had arrived here for some reason. Something about meeting other foals. Strawberri Kiss had mentioned before that her childhood had been... not the best. Her parents never let her play with foals, and so his mother had went out of her way to bring Kiwi somewhere to meet kids their own age. The thing was, this place was in somewhere... unsettling. Kiwi trusted his mother would protect him, but... well, honestly? The Grove was terrifying!
tab But they finally found the place his mother had insisted on bringing him to. He looked up at her, ears pinned back.
tab "Go on sweetie. I'll be right here." Strawberri gently nudged her son, smiling fondly down at him. Kiwi took a step forward before pressing back into Strawberri's legs.
tab "M-Maybe... w-we should go b-back." He squeaked back, ears pinned against his head.

tab Dipper trotted behind his dad, head held high as he glanced about. It wasn't uncommon for Artemis to take him on nearby explorations. Artemis was a traveler. While he stayed around to be near the kids, Dipper knew it would soon come time for Artemis to be on his way. Dipper enjoyed their trips together for the time being. When Artemis finally left he knew it'd be awhile before he'd be able to have another trip with his father.
tab What the two hadn't expected was the clearing, nor the foals running about. Dipper paused, eyes narrowing as he glanced at his dad. "We should turn around and try another direction."
tab Artemis eyeballed the children before turning to his son, a quiet smile on his face. "Actually, we should take a break. Why don't you go play?"
tab Dipper scrunched his face, head snapping back. Play? They weren't here to play. He glanced at the other foals before flattening his ears. "I dunno dad. They seem busy."

Arc jolted up when he heard two new sets of voices. One squeaked, the other seemed a bit defiant. The little colt looked to his new friend. "I'll be right back!!! I'm going to say Hi to the new ponies!!" he shot off like a tiny rocket. Getting not to far from the pair of bright ponies [Kiwi and his Momma] the little foal was snatched up by a tailmouth. There was a pair of glowing blue eyes in the shadows before the image of a jack-o-lantern smile followed it. The being that stepped out with a deep chuckle as little Archanee let out a squeaked. "UNCLE NOX!!!!" the little foal was excited as the tailmouth brought him to the large hybrid's chest. Nox nuzzled little Arc before setting the foal down. A deep voice rumbled from his chest as he spoke. "The Grove told me that we had guests. I came out here to see if anyone was hungry..." the tailmouth that had snagged Arc was currently curled so that the little foal was at least able to nuzzle the large stallion back. Two more tail mouths slithered into view as one dragged on the ground, the second seemed to huff at the air. Nox turned his head to sweep his gaze over the others present. "Welcome to our Grove, every-pony. I am Nox. One of the residents here."

The large tailed ghoulie/bat was something like out a story book of monsters. Aacutenieuml instantly thought it was one of the most amazing ponies Aacutenieuml had ever seen. He quietly moved closer to the big tailed adult but stopped after a few steps. There were a few other adults and foals which was interesting as well. Blinking he decided not to get to close if one of them decided to ask were his mother was he didn’t want to answer that. Adults got picky about things like that. Looking around he tried to find a small ditch big enough for him to lay in and try and hide. He didn’t expect Arc to stay quite after all it was clear they were happy and cheery with the adult so they would likely tell the adults that Aacutenieuml had come here alone. He would have to find a good hiding spot before that or he might end up being dragged all the way home again. It had happened before and he didn’t want to have to explain why he had left classes again. It always made his mother look sad but those places were so boring.

Ruby groaned at the thought about goung in to the grove but she had to do what she had to do. But she wasnt the only one dreading going in, lychee aswell was regreting agreeing to go but not as much as his mother Ruby. " Mud bugs and dirt." A grone escaped lychee as he said thoses things out loud. But despite the issue at hand he wanted to go, For his brother. As strawberrie stoped so did Ruby, lychee slowly slid down Ruby's back and then her fin carefuly stepping on to the grass befor slowly trotting up beside Kiwi. "Don't worry im here with you, you know." He gently hip bummped his brother closer to the center of the grove with everyone else fallowing close behind with his head up ches out and avoided any of the dirt. When he found a thick patch of grass he watched all the other foals. With his tail flicking behind him
