Twilights private train arrives to find that Whitetail forest was destroyed by the sand ponies because they overran the deer in their time of conflict. Because of this Whitetail forest was no more. However in their time of grief Fluttershy found a seed where the great tree used to be. Nature then appears to tell Fluttershy that she knew that sand ponies would destroy Whitetail forest, and that she needed someone who wasn't a deer to lead them to a better life.
That is why she chose Fluttershy to be the Arbor susurro.
Because the deer were so devoted to thinking that the ponies were their opposite they would not seek help from them. But if a pony was the Arbor susurro, they would seek help and unite the deer and ponies. Because even though the deer believe that pony and deer are completely different they are wrong. So the made a new bible, one that they wright about the true way for peace and harmony to exist. It is called 'The Path To Peace.'
As for Thicket, he is serving his crime in a cell in Canterlot. And that is the end of the book.
Not!
In a long and narrow hallway with a red carpet on the floor lanterns hanging on each side of the wall lighting the way for others, Clutterstep was race walking towards a large set of double old fashion wooden doors. Clutterstep burst through them and entered the room the doors had hid.
Inside was a room with only a couple of steps at the end of the room and a large dark throne on the top of it. As Clutterstep walked towards the throne a dark figure gazed at him as he moved. As soon as Clutterstep got to the first step he kneeled before the throne.
"Forgive me master." Clutterstep began. "I somehow failed to kill the four ponies you sent me to kill." Clutterstep said.
"Don't fret your pretty little head dear." A new voice said. One of a mare. "I'll forgive you."
Clutterstep jerked his head up towards the throne."You?!" Clutterstep growled. "Where is the Master?!" Clutterstep demanded.
"He's out getting a new member." The mare said bluntly. "Oh, and I'm here to tell you something very important."
"What's that?" Clutterstep growled
"To pack your things of course. We're leaving this place because Nightwing and his little friends will no doubt be snooping around the Everfree forest trying to find us." The Mare grinned. "Now who's fault could that be, I wonder?"
Clutterstep growled as his hair and fur began to stand on end.
"Ah, ah, ah." The mare said as she poked Clutterstep on the muzzle, making him calm down. "You know the masters rules."
"Very well. But I'm only doing this because the Master said it. Not you."
"Whatever makes you sleep at night dear." The voice said as Clutterstep stormed off out the large doors.
'A new member? Who could that be?' Clutterstep thought as he walked through the hallway.
In the Canterlot dungeons.
Thickets cell was anything special. It had everything you'd expect a jail cell to have. Hard stone bed, a sink, and of course a bared door and window.
Standing in front of the cell were four deer guards. Two Does, and two Bucks. All four wore green light armor that covered their back, stomach, and neck. On their hooves were leaf like shoes made for speed. On top of their heads were custom green helmets that covered the left, right, and back of her head, leaving a large opening in the front.
On the left side of both bucks was a long sword with a light green hilt. Both swords were sheathed in a scabbard. The Does both had a wooden bow on their back along with a brown quiver full of steel tipped arrows with green feathers on the back of them.
All seemed calm in the area until in the blink of an eye a hooded figure appeared out of nowhere a couple of feet across from the four guards. The four guards were startled when the hooded figure appeared but they soon got their back and prepared for battle.
The Does equipped their bows and loaded an arrow in the bow and pulled the string back and aimed at the hooded figure in record time.
The Bucks clenched their swords with their mouths as they drew their swords from their scabbards. Revealing the steel swords.
The hooded figure only grinned at the guards. All went silent until a Doe broke the silence.
"This is a restricted area, identify yourself immediately." The Doe demanded
The hooded figure smile grew making it now visible for everyone to see, making the Doe raise an eyebrow.
In a split second the hooded figure closed the distance between it and one of the bucks. As soon as the Buck saw this it was to late. The hooded figure jabbed it's elbow into the Buck's chest making him spit out his sword.
As soon as the Does saw their partner getting attacked the released their arrows on the hooded figure. But as soon as the arrows got close enough the hooded figure grabbed the Bucks sword and deflected the arrows.
"Yaaaaaaaah." The other Buck yelled, his cry muffled by the sword in his mouth. Once the Buck closed the distance he slashed the sword at the hooded figure. Seeing the attack the hooded figure parried the attack with the other sword. The hooded figure then pushed the Buck back and then disappeared again.
"Wha-" was all the Buck could mutter as a sword was jabbed through his neck. "Spurp." The Buck spit out his sword as blood began to fill in his mouth.
"No!" One of the Does shrieked as she glared at the hooded figure. "You'll pay for that!" She yelled as she loaded an arrow and fired it at the hooded figures head.
Only to be stopped in mid air. Just inches away from his face.
"What?" The Doe asked confused.
The arrow then turned around and was jabbed into the Does scull. The other Doe was about to fire another arrow but the hooded figure grabbed the Doe by the neck and held her against the wall. The Doe began to struggled in hopes of letting back in her lungs. But then felt a sharp pain in he chest.
The Doe looked down to see that the hooded figure had stabbed her with one of the Bucks swords. Seeing the blood was to overwhelming for the Doe and her eyes began to close. And her struggling came to a stop. The hooded figure let go of the Does throat and let her body drop to the ground. The hooded figure then walked up to the cell door.
BOOM!! The door went as it sailed across the room and hit the wall. Causing Thicket to wake up. The first thing he saw was the hooded figure. Once he saw it he sat up from his bed and faced the hooded figure.
"Who are you?" Thicket asked.
The hooded figure smiled at Thicket. "Who I am is not important right now. But what I'm about to say is."
"....I'm listening." Thicket finally said.
"I have decided to give you an invitation to my organization, do you accept?"
"Why would I join this organization of yours?" Thicket questioned.
"Simple, you and I both share the same goal." The hooded figure said bluntly.
"Share the same goal? Ha!" Thicket said. "What makes you think you know my goal?"
"Simple, you and both want to establish order to this world. And I can give that to you...all you have to do is accept."
Thicket pondered on the hooded figures proposal. Placing a hoof on his jaw.
"Well...your decision?" The hooded figure asked.
"...I accepted." Thicket said.
"Splendid."
"Now how do you plan on getting me out of here without being hunted down?" Thicket asked.
"Oh Thicket, first thing you need to know about me." The hooded figure began. "Is that I always plan ahead."
