Chapter 31

Crag snuck past dozens of sleeping ponies, making his way to the Elder Nightshade. She was the herd’s greatest healer, having earned her talent mark by halting her own infection. At least, that’s what his dad told him.

“Pssst… Elder Nightshade? Please wake up.”

“What do you want, you stupid, lazy colt?” she muttered, stirring from sleep

“Uh… what?”

Opening her eyes, Nightshade blinked, her features clouding over with confusion “…You’re not my little Nighteyes.”

“No, Elder Nightshade. It’s Crag, Granite’s son.”

“What could you want this late at night?”

“My sister… I think she needs your help”
