Chapter 24

Crimson Canary was shaken. Had been most of the day. Seeing San- Obsidian passing out sharpened glass flakes to the unicorns only drove home how terrible things were. The fire was gone, the cave was dark, and everypony was scared.

“Been a hard day,” he observed, “you okay?”

That simple question was the final straw, causing Canary to collapse into tears.

“It’s all my fault,” she sobbed, “I suggested checking it out. I should have gone in first. Thunderstruck… Thunderstruck…”

“Relax,” Granite gently whispered, “we’ll save her.”
