You approach the window. Placing your hooves on the bottom of it, you try to lift the window, but as you expected, it’s locked shu—

Wait, nope never mind, it opens with ease, allowing you to step out and be free. Well then.

You simply hop out onto the small ledge outside the window. Suddenly, you realize you’ve run into a problem: you’re high above the ground, and a jump would result in death.

Examining your surroundings, you see that to your right is no visible way to get down. You look to your left and see that there’s… a ladder leading straight from the ledge down to the ground.

They really didn’t think this through, did they?

You allow a hind leg to descend toward the ladder before placing your other hind leg on the step. Then, carefully, you climb downward before grabbing onto the sides with your forelegs and following the steps all the way to the ground.

You escaped. That was really easy. Too easy, actually…

You turn around, only to see that you’re surrounded by what seems like ten guards holding bows and arrows, all aimed directly at you.

Yup, way too easy.

The old stallion is standing in the middle of the assembly of guards, staring at you with a smug grin.

“Just wanted to see your face after you thought you escaped and then realized we’re not that stupid. Alright, take the pony down.”

Ten arrows suddenly fly in your direction before pain erupts all over the front of your body and you collapse to the ground from the numerous arrows puncturing you. Your vision starts to blur and darkness quickly encloses around you, your world erased by a fog of black.

“Choose wiser next time,” the old stallion’s voice echoes through the darkness. “Oh wait, there won’t be a next time, because you’re about to die! Mwahahaha!!”

He’s very obnoxious, you think to yourself. Unfortunately, you can’t give that a second thought because you die.
