Emerald asks if it’s okay that he does meet her. Lord Sepulcher was quite clear of the dangers of opening that book.
 
“It’s fine. As long as I’m the one who opens it she won’t be able to possess you or anything.”
 
Slightly reassured by this, Emerald and Gregarious go up to his office in the back of the room. Emerald stands near the doorway (just in case!) as the zombie takes the key from around his neck and begins to undo the latches around the book’s edge.
 
As the last one falls away Gregarious whispers to the book, “Hey Pip, you up?”
 
Gregarious then places the book on the floor as a ghostly image of a… Pony? Rises from the book. Her features are that of a unicorn with wide, perky eyes and a happy smile, but her horn is oddly curved and Emerald can see sharp fangs in her smile. The ghostly pony is wearing a cape, and her mane is incredibly curly. Her whole body glows with an eerie transparent pink.
 
“Ha! I knew I sensed a living soul here!” She says, grinning happily at Emerald and bouncing in the air.
 
“He’s our guest, Pip. No bargaining for his soul.” Gregarious says sternly.
 
“I couldn’t do it anyway. He’s already claimed!” She giggles again and she starts to hop around the colt, dragging the book with her, “How’d you even manage to get this far into the forest? You a spellcaster? I’ve never seen a wizard quite so small! Know anything about Diabolism? Not even counting the one possessing you, you reek of corruption!”
 
Emerald is a bit taken aback by this, and looks to Greagarious, who is grinning and clearly trying not to chuckle at the display and Emerald’s confusion.
