Ampere got a good look at her as she moved around. There were no apparent bloody boils or black goo, but who knew what she could be hiding - maybe she had tail stank or nipple rot? Still, Ampere thought suspiciously as she settled down to land finally, all the infected so far had been obviously sick, and this mare seemed to match her words.

At her own inquiry Ampere snorted, both dismissive and annoyed. What right did Ghost have to question her when this was where she lived? The strange times had set Ampere on edge more than usual, but she managed to remain civil when she spoke, though it lacked it's usual casual charm and playful mischief. There was no sunlight these days for her, just storms as far as the eye could see, and then some.

"I'm well, but a good deal of the realm isn't." Her wings folded tightly against her back, tense like her muscles and her mind. "The gods have been coming back one by one, and with them they've brought new lands, wrestled from a place called The Rift." Brought was perhaps an understatement, more like conquered, except it wasn't the Gods alone rising in victory, but all of them - Helovia. "Nothing comes easy though, so some aliens from the other side come through with them, and a pissed off god that oversaw the land, and apparently, disease too." Ampere titled her head quizzically, assessing Ghost who certainly bore the appearance of an Outcast. This information was of little value to Ampere, so easy to come by there was no point in not sharing, but she wondered in tense times like this what Ghost could give her.

"Time and Moon have both come back now, we suspect the Sun and the Earth will have similar events. Both times we've killed the other gods." Now that was some news. Before now Ampere had never known Gods could die, and now that she did, she was more than eager to shed their heavenly blood, and not just from the corrupted veins of the Rift gods. Dreams of ending the companion enslavement the Earth forced upon Helovia, could it finally be attainable?

"We're too strong to drop dead," Ampere responded proudly, a hint of a smile tugging at a corner of her lips. "It isn't easy though, and with promise fo more fighting, what are you good for?"
