“Trixie! Stop!” cried Starlight Glimmer, but her unicorn friend, it seemed, didn’t listen.

Starlight had to stop her by telekinesis.

“Starlight!”

“Trixie, we ran from Canterlot far enough.”

“And are you sure, those big gray whatever don’t chase us?”

“Sure!” replied Starlight angrily.

They were in the middle of a meadow and beyond it, there were just rather low hills. Anyone, who would take time to look back would see that there is no pursuit. In fact, if Trixie would take time to think, she should have been more worried about them being in the open and spotted by one of the airships.

“Ok then.” Trixie stopped to catch her breath.

Starlight was nervous. What if they indeed spotted? She noticed a large tree on the top of the hill ahead. That’ll do. She concentrated and teleported Trixie and herself under that tree.

“Good thinking Starlight,” exclaimed Trixie in approval, as if it wasn’s Starlight, who actually teleported them from Canterlot plaza into the bushes below the walls of the castle.

“We still have a bit to go, before we reach Poniville.”

“Poniville? Why should we go there? Do you think that Twilight and her sidekicks run to their castle?”

“I don’t know. But at least we can warn Royal Guard.?”

“Guards? What would they do there?”

“Trixie! Have you paid any attention?” Starlight had too many things on her mind to suppress annoyance. “Twilight didn’t want Royal Guards to make ponies at the festival feel troubled. So she sent them away. To Ponyville.”

“Yes. Of cause I knew that. But shouldn’t we try to reach, I don’t know, some more powerful allies? Like dragons. Or changelings?”

“Do you remember what happened when we visited Thorax and forced to fight the Maulwofth?”

“Yes. You probably right, with their current training swarm wouldn’t be much of a help. But what about dragons? You told me, their ruler Ember was quite fond of our land.”

“I still not sure if she would help us. And if she would, she probably will ask something in return. It’s not in a dragon custom to do something out of generosity.”

“Too bad. I hope Twilight is ok. I saw her fall into the waterfall, but for the pony like her with magic and everything it’s nothing. Right?”

“Yes. Yes. I think she already devised some plan to save us. She always knows what she is doing.”
