Aurelia

A Shadowbolt cadet who works the weather on the side.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*Aurelian is killing time by looking through pictures of her old weather formations, reminiscing with a sigh*

I can’t believe I got kicked off the Sunset Team after pulling /this/ off.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*She flitters up to the nearest cloud and curls up on top, peeking out over the edge at the city below*

*She can still technically do her job even without a suit on*

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*With that, the gray pegasus takes her leave, stepping out into the street in front of the store and glancing around*

Midnight already?... Where did the time go?

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

Aurelian.

*She shakes her hoof firmly, smiling softly*

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

...Yeah, sounds good.

*She folds the piece of paper up and tucks it into her wing*

Thank you.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

...Deal. What do you have in mind?

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

I know. That's why I came to you. I'm scared by this thing. I don't think a visit to a tattoo removal shop is gonna fix this...

What are you thinking?

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

That sounds reasonable....

*Her ears perk up as she remembers something*

And when it was active... I was able to communicate with the timberwolf, and the cloud. They both obeyed my commands.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

Well, the first time I noticed it... I was muzzle to muzzle with a Timberwolf in the Everfree. Another time... I was chasing a rogue cloud, also from the Everfree.

*blink*

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

Yeah, it looks totally normal when it's not acting up.

Unfortunately, I can't activate it or deactivate it, it seems to be triggered by some external source.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

I was hoping you had some idea what this is.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

But apparently, that's not what it is. A couple weeks ago, I noticed that, in certain situations, it starts to glow and pulse with what appears to be magical energy. It appears randomly, but when it does pop up... I feel like my abilities are heightened. It's hard to explain...

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

...I was found in the woods as a filly. When they found me, I had a cutie mark, but only on one side. The other side had this mark on it, like a complex, sprawling tattoo all across my leg and flank. My entire life, that's just what I assumed it was. A strange tattoo.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*She lifts up her wing and points to her hind leg, at the tribal tattoo crawling up her leg. At least, that's what it looks like*

It's a long story, but... something's wrong with this mark, and it's scaring me. There's some sort of magic energy flowing through it.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

Perfect. Uhm... can we discuss this somewhere private?

*She glances around the empty store*

It's kind of a... sensitive topic.

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

Hey...

*Auri steps up to the counter a little awkwardly, unsure of how to properly express what she's here for*

What kinds of magic do you cover here? Like... phenomena-related magic incidents?

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*She pushes open the door to the store, glancing around at the shelves of spells surrounding her. Hopefully they were still open*

Hello?

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*Aurelian opens up the pony version of Yellow Pages and finds that there’s only one magic shop in Ponyville, owned by @mlp_Feather*

Well, that makes the decision easy... let’s see if she can help at all.

*She sets the book and heads off in search of “Aerion’s Magic Emporium”*

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

*Aurelian is too busy gulping in air to answer at first, her tired wings hanging limply by her sides*

...y-yes ma’am.

*The mare stumbles off to the castle*

[Aurelia @mlp_Aurelian]

...I'll keep it in mind.

*She nods and flares her wings, taking to the air to begin her warmup laps*
