Chrysteel nods and says, "What is your name, unicorn? If you have none, then I will give you one. Follow me and you will find things may be different then you know. I heard your words and I can show much difference between the others and myself. All I ask for in return is obedience." She now waits for Asterian to reply. She seams to have taken a shine to him, but what it means remains to be seen.

Shallow smiles at her. "Do you know anything about skull fractures?" "That depends, what kind of skull fracture are we talking about?" She asked, already worried about the patient.

"A fracture at the back of the skull." Shallow says, walking towards a separate room. "She was struck in the back of the head with the flat side of a mining pick and it fractured her skull. She's still alive, but she won't survive if we can't properly repair her skull." she says, entering in to see a mare a bandage around her head with her face down."

@midnight_Aura As the caretaker led Chrysteel into the hold area, they could see the new slaves getting settled in. With a blow of a whistle from a watchtower, the ponies are ordered to be on their best behavior in the presence of the princess. Everypony looks on at Chrysteel, except for those who she had looked at last time. The newest slaves are brought forth to her, a selection of unicorns and pegasi as she requested she was looking for. 6 Unicorns and 4 pegasi, 5 of the unicorns and 2 of the pegasi are mares. Each of them looks tired, dirty and hungry from their trip here, as well as nervous. The only one that wasn't a unicorn or a pegasus was Moonlight, who stuck out like a sore thumb. Her deep purple coat and unique bat wings only made her more apparent, as well as her horn. [...] Chrysteel points at two of the pegasi, a mare and a stallion. she also points at moonlight. She then points to two of the unicorns, both of which are a mare and a filly. The filly she selected is about 9 years of age. " You 5 will come with me. I have a place for you. You will say nothing and not do a thing until I say you can. Is this understood. Failure to do so will, either, result in your return here or worse. Now lets go I have much to do and you will be helping me today." Chrysteel looks to the caretaker of the slaves and says, " They will do. Next time, I would like to see all of the new ones no matter their age. So long as they are in decent condition. I will take them to see my caretaker, Shallow heart, and have them assessed for their condition. Then I will be assigning them tasks. You are dismissed caretaker." Chrysteel looks to all of them and says, " You 5 are now mine. Behave and I will be kind. Misbehave and you will feel it." Moonlight looked at Chrysteel then looked away she wanted to teleport out but she knows that wouldn't work and she might end up getting her horn cut off which she really did not want to happen.

Blue followed Shallow in the other room. "Oh my..." She whispered and ran to the patient, gently examining her head with her hooves. "Depressed skull fracture... This is very bad..." She whispered and tried to charge her horn. Blue was still to exhausted to use magic safely, she started to drain her own life force as energy for the spell. With some effort she managed to return the depression of the bone to a somewhat acceptable position. Blue than sighed and released the spell, exhaling heavily. "This will help a bit... but i feel that she needs surgery..." she explained.

Shallows holds Blue steady. "Do you think you'll be able to help me with it? I'm sure I can handle it alone, but anywhere around the brain is very sensitive work..."

Taking a few deep breaths Blue sighed. "I can. We need to ease the pressure on her brain and rearrange the bones a bit more. I'm not sure if i can handle that the traditional way." she whispered, trying not to bother the patient with her voice.

Chrysteel looks to moonlight and says, "Don't judge a book by it's cover, little bat-winged one. You may come to regret it. I do what I do for the betterment of the hive. You my dear might find yourself to be helping in that regard. Given time you will understand be better." Chrysteel continues to wait for Asterian's answer.
((Asterian and Moonlight it up to you now. This is my last post until both you have acted.))

Asterian looks up at the changeling before him. This one seemed... different... Not just because of her stature, but something about her self seemed to radiate a positive glow. He decided to play his cards carefully, starting with a simple test. "My given name is Asterian Élire Starfall, mistress." It was up to this changeling to discuss what his name should be. Whatever her answer was would tell him the truth of her motives and feelings towards ponies.

Or, do you like the cage? Now Bat-wings, until I know your name, you will follow closely to me. We are going to see my caretaker. She knows a lot more about you ponies then these folk and I like for my ponies to be in prime condition. Now lets go." Chrysteel's horn glows one tier and a ring forms around the necks of all her chosen. Though the ring doesn't hurt. It does give those who resist following a sense of it would be better to follow and see why the ring doesn't hurt then to be punished for not following. {Spell: Ring of Helpful Thought}This spell gives the ones wearing the generated ring a sense of curiosity as to why the ring does what it does. and makes the wearer more willing to follow the casters commands/requests.

Asterian knew that his plan had worked. Within that instant, he knew that he would at least be controlled by a more benevolent changeling... if indeed there was such a thing. "I am yours to command, mistress," he said, bowing low to show respect, although his eyes said something different... almost as if showing thanks.
The ring that formed around Asterian's neck caused him a little distress at first, but upon noting that it was painless, he quickly obliged to not contest it. Thus far I have no reason to rebel, and this one is far kinder than the others I've seen... Let's see what happens, he thinks, his mind now poisoned with curiosity about this Princess of the Changelings.

Taking a few deep breaths Blue sighed. "I can. We need to ease the pressure on her brain and rearrange the bones a bit more. I'm not sure if i can handle that the traditional way." she whispered, trying not to bother the patient with her voice. "Well, I suppose I'll have to be the surgeon. You can assist mostly. I'll get what we need and we'll begin the operation."A short ten minute prep later, Shallow Heart has the pony in the operating room wearing a surgeon's mask. A table of tools lay stood next to the patient and a heart monitor was linked up on her. She looks at Blue, awaiting to hear if she's ready to begin.

Blue was wearing a mask as well. During the operation She was to handle the anesthesiology, watch the patients life signs and assist with the operation itself in any way necessary. "Now, are you sure you know exactly what you're doing? The injury is between the optical lobe and the parietal lobe. You need to be very careful she could go blind, or be unable to make a coherent picture of her surroundings." Blue asked to make sure, while preparing the patient.

Shallow takes a very deep breath and exhales slowly, taking up the appropriate tool in her magic and nodding to Blue slowly. I'm sure, lets begin.
She removes the patient's bandage slowly and begins by removing the tissue and the skin blocking their access to her skull. Once cleared, she examines her injury and carefully removes tiny shards of the skull and gives them to Blue.
// I really don't know how an operation like this is done, so I'm either going to make things up or be very vague about it. \\

//well, i could either describe this type of operation to you via skype, or roll with the vagueness XD
Blue prepares holds up a tray, while still looking on the monitors of heart rate, blood pressure and breathing, occasionally adjusting the anesthetics level. She observed Shallows every move and was prepared to stop her if she did something wrong, as a good assistant should.
