You swallow the many uncouth words that come to mind at this latest betrayal. Your only concern is to rescue Applebloom, and even with Twilight’s magic, picking a fight with thirty armed boggies seems like a good way to sabotage that goal. “Alright,” you growl. “What do we have to do to get Applebloom back?”
The newly-minted Ceanntighern shrugs his shoulders. “What else? Bring us gold. Lots and lots of gold. Let’s say... three times the foal’s weight.”
Twilight gasps. “And where exactly are we supposed to come up with that? There’s probably not that much gold in the entire town of Ponyville.”
“Hey, that’s not my problem!” snaps the boggie. “Bring the gold here by sundown, or we’re taking the foal home with us. And don’t bother trying any funny business; we’ll know.” He makes a shooing gesture. “Now get out of here, and don’t come back without the treasure.”
