[Ales holds back at the sight of what seems to have been a battle from long ago. His doppelganger dream took him to a crystallized cave containing a Black Crystal, so he doesn't immediately link the remains to the events of the previous cycle. Someone was here earlier. Heroes, judging from the crystals, but who? No one here had a bow like that. Cloud's sword exists in two places at once: one for the real Cloud and that doppelganger sword in the ground--
Doppelganger. His hands tense into balled fists.
His eyes drift to the sword lodged into the farthest wall. How could that have gotten there? It's too far to tell what it looks like. He takes a stiff step into the cave when the sound of a pony dropping onto the floor grabs his attention back to Earth. He shoots a surprised look at Twilight, then at where her hoof is, and grins to hold back a snorting laugh. It ends up as a loud breath from his snout.
Well, that made him feel a bit better.
There's no need to be concerned with her. Ales relaxes and lets the others worry about such matters. There's investigative work to be done. He steps into the room, all apprehension and thoughts about finding Betilla's statue gone. Though he does take care to avoid tripping over knives.
As he approaches the sword, its shape becomes more distinct, but the rust and crystals make it difficult to identify. Yet the length of that thing...it's reminiscent of something...]
