//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: An Everfree Meet up // by st6nbones //------------------------------// Glitter Harmony continued dragging the timber wolf, straight to the small village's best doctor and healer. The Unknown Village wasn't that big. It was west of Ponyville, one of the most popular places in Equestria. As Harmony reached Cinder Wood's house, the wolf began to stir. Harmony quickly knocked on the door with her hoof. She heard Cinder Wood's heavy steps trot to the door. The door swung open and there stood the light gray earth pony. His white mane was tossed slightly to the left and his deep green eyes were full of sleepiness. His cutie mark was a herb, proving his specialty in healing. He took one glance at the timber wolf and his eyes widend. "Solem..." he whispered. Solem began to move a little, wood creaking and groaning. His mane began to flare alittle more and he began to murmur something. Harmony watched quietly, not knowing what to do. She hoped that timber wolf would be ok. He had risked his own life, just to save Harmony's while he could've let her die from the gray dragon, Arson. The timber wolfs head suddenly shot up and he jumped to his feet, yelling. "Arson, where is he!? I have to stop him! Stop them! They'll destroy everything!" He yelled as he stumbled around, trying to collect his bearings. He hit some stuff before collapsing on the ground, trying to get back up. Cinder Wood spoke gently to Solem. "Calm down, there is nothing to worry about. You need to rest. You are injured." "No! I can't rest now! If Arson's here, it is likely that they all are, I gotta stop them!" Solem said frantically as he managed to get up a little. He began to try and walk away. Cinder Wood stepped in front of Solem, preventing him to leave. "Solem, look at yourself! You are injured! You need to be healed! You cannot fight in the condition you are in!" Solem looked at Cinder Wood. "I've done it before, I can and will do it again," he said as he went to push past Cinder Wood. The silver pony was about to chase Solem but he stopped. "He has potential. If he wants to fight, I will not stop him." He turned to Harmony. "Your parents will be very upset, child. I will tell them everything that happened, now come with me." Harmony lowered her head in guilt as she followed Cinder to her house.
