Sunset sighed as she manifested at the animal shelter, not even bothering to try and appear dignified considering who had called her here.

"Hey Fluttershy," she said, waving to her friend tiredly.

"Oh," the yellow pegasus aspect started, her foot rubbing at the ground. "Um... is now a bad time?"

"Something else is just giving me trouble, and figuring out how it works is... really draining, even for me. Probably best I'm taking a break from it right now, honestly." Sunset stretched a bit, feeling her avatar's joints pop like they were stiff despite it having just been created. "Anyway, what's up?"

"Um... if you're sure..." Fluttershy turned and led Sunset into the area the animals were actually boarded. "I was hoping you could help me figure out what kind of animal something is."

Sunset blinked as she followed her friend. "You want me to identify an animal?"

"Well... I already know what just about every animal from Earth is," Fluttershy responded, stopping at one of the smaller kennels as she worked the lock on it. "But... well, that's all I know." While Sunset we left to ponder what that actually meant, Fluttershy held out her hand and beckoned whatever was inside to come to her.

What she eventually pulled out could only be described as a cross between a rat and a hedgehog. It was pure black in color, with white-tipped spines, pure white eyes that seemed to glow, and large, rabbit-like ears that were also tipped with spines. It looked at Sunset, its head tilting in curiosity.

"Do you know if this is some sort of Equestrian creature?"

Sunset just gaped, looking at the... whatever it actually was. "Well... I can tell you that it's not Equestrian..." She slowly reached her hand out toward the thing. "I'm not really sure wha—"

The creature in Fluttershy's arms suddenly vocalized, a strange sound that still held a melody to it. That it was singing wasn't much of a surprise, and even the fact she could feel a bit of magic in the singing was, although unusual, not entirely unheard of. What did shock Sunset, however, was how the magic felt; there was simply no mistaking magic that resonated with her own.

This creature, whatever it was, possessed actual Harmony magic within it.

A moment passed as the creature stopped its singing, with Sunset just gaping at it, before she finally managed to pull herself out of her stupor. "I need to talk to the Tree," she told Fluttershy, speaking almost as fast as Pinkie Pie could. "Now!" And, without waiting for a reply, Sunset's avatar vanished, off to a higher plane of existence.

And leaving one very confused pegasus aspect in her wake. "...what just happened?"
