As you and I left the forest, you heard a voice shouting.
"Hey, you! Stop right there!" a mare shouted. You and I looked around, then in front of you came out a mare who jumped from a cliff. You and I gazed at the mare in shock. She has orange-yellow skin, and has a white-brown jumper and brown shorts. She also has a dark red hoodie, magenta thigh highs and gloves and black boots.
Also has a brown belt with bags and a charm shaped like a shimmering sun with a fire symbol charm adorned with gold wings, and a gold tail and spikes that has two red ribbons with flame patterns and two white-yellow diamonds at the bottom. She has her yellow-red hair tied in a bun at the back, and leaving her front hair and bangs. She also has a bow-and-arrow on her back.
"May the Anemo God protect you, stranger! I am Sunset Shimmer, Outrider for the Knights of Günstig. You don't look like citizens of Hiersindwir. Explain yourselves!"
"We're not looking for trouble...!" I said.
"That's what all the troublemakers say."
"Hello, I'm a Traveler."
"...Doesn't sound local to me." Sunset said. "And this... mascot, what's the deal with it?" she said, glancing at the small pony floating next to you.
"We're friends!" you said.
"We've only been traveling partners for two months, but...We've already become the very best of friends!"
"Ummm...Emergency food?" you said.
"Hey! That's even worse than being a mascot!" Deco said.
"So to sum it up, you're traveling partners, right? Well look, there's been a large dragon sighted around Hiersindwir recently. Best you get inside the city as soon as possible. It's not far from here, I'll escort you there."
"Oh? Aren't you out here for some other reason?" I said.
"I am. But not to worry, I can keep you both safe while doing that too. Besides... I'm still not sure if I can trust you two just yet!"
"Why so suspicious? That's a rather rude way to speak to guests." you said.
"Oh, ahh... I'm sorry. Probably not something I should say as a knight." Sunset said. "I give you my apologies, uh... strange yet... respectable travelers."
"That sounded so fake!"
"Do you have something against the type of language usage prescribed by the Knights of Günstig Handbook!?"
Suddenly, a floating slimes appeared airborne. Sunset charged at it with her bow, popping it into air. As Sunset escorts the two, she broke the silence.
"So, suspicious travelers, what are you doing in Hiersindwir?" Sunset said.
"They got separated from their sibling during a really, really long journey. Deco is their travel buddy, helping them to find their sibling." I said.
"Oh, looking for your family... Huh. Ah...Okay! Let me finish my other stuff first, and then I can help you put up posters around the city..."
"What exactly is it you need to finish doing first?" I said.
"It's simple. You'll understand in a bit." Sunset said.
