	One month later...

Covered by a dark grey cloak, Twilight shifted through the shadows of the city, keeping a sharp watch for any guards that might be looking for suspicious ponies prowling the streets at night.

Twisting through the alleyways, she saw the occasional city guard peering nervously around corners or glancing behind them to make sure they weren’t being followed. Ponies were now being advised to stay indoors at night for their own safety, adding to the ominous feeling of silent, empty streets.

She stepped out of an alley and turned down an empty street, stopping in front of an all too familiar wanted poster. With a slightly mischievous smile, she lit her horn and the poster was engulfed by a black flame. With the poster gone, she moved on, even as her mind wandered to its unspoken meaning.

War was coming, and there was nothing anypony could do to stop it.
