Prologue


The Stallion pulled the pipe out of his mouth and gently blew smoke out of his nostrils, the dim light catching it and showing the swirls of wind. He then replaced the pipe and drew in another breath before addressing the creature dressed in white and grey, the light bouncing off the cloth to illuminate the rest of the room in an ambient light.

"Did you finish it?"

The creature simply nodded it's head and continued to fix it's unwavering gaze upon the Stallion behind the desk. The Stallion tossed a bag full of bits onto the table and it made a deep 'thunk' as its weight fell. A claw flashed in the light and an opening in the bag revealed the sparkle and shine of the golden disks held within.

"I told you you would get the other half. I am honestly surprised that you succeeded, others before you with a better reputation have failed. Tell me, how did you do it?"

The figure paused in its retreat towards the exit to turn back around and face the Stallion before giving a deep chuckle.

"A pegasus isn't afraid of heights."
