As you turn a corner, you come face to face with another pony. You startle, then realize it must be another explorer, so you laugh and apologize; soon after, though, their unsettling stare starts to creep at your spine, so you excuse yourself to continue traveling. After a few seconds, you realize you've never seen them before - but on returning to that spot, they've vanished without a trace.

So lost in his thoughts, the Pegacorn wasn’t entirely looking where he was going as he turned a corner to explore down another path. Nearly bumping face first into another pony quickly snapped him back to the reality, nearly rearing onto his hind legs as he backs up a bit to prevent a collision. Reaper cleared his throat in his embarrassment, bowing his head in apology to this pony. ”Oh… dreadfully sorry. I wasn’t paying much attention. I’m guessing you had no luck down this way?” He asked the other, only to receive an odd… discomforting stare. ”… Well, I guess I don’t see a need to go that way myself, so I’ll try another way. … Thank you.” With another bow, Reaper turned and walked away. It only took two steps for him to feel a chill run up his spine, realizing something. Spinning on his hooves to question the other pony, his eyes were wide to see that they weren’t there.
Was that a specter?! The stallion was giddy like a school filly now, nearly bouncing in place. Now wasn’t the time to fancolt, he had more searching to do.
