                                                             Silverstreak's point of view

Silverstreak quickly walked down the streets of Ponyville looking at the sights as he thought with satisfaction, “hm. This place isn't so bad, I kinda like it. Nice and homey.” He smiled as he looked at all the various houses, “hm, this place isn't much a manufacturing town as it is tourist town.” He also noticed that the town was inhabited more so by mares than stallions- this was surprising. After all, most towns were inhabited more by stallions than mares. However, strange as a place as it may have been, it was a nice place none the less. He smiled it wasn't too crowded either- it was just right. He looked around a bit wondering where they sold their supplies around here- surely they did at “least” have small businesses or a market place or something.

He noticed a pretty mare standing outside a house watering a garden.

She was really quite pretty. She had an orange mane with a lighter shade of orange in it also. Her tail was the same as her mane. Her eye's were green, and her fur was a light yellow. He smiled as he walked over to her and said, “hello ma'am.”

The mare stopped caring to her plants and turned to face him. “Huh? Oh hey there....um.... who are you?”

Silverstreak blushed a bit as he gave a sheepish grin and said, “o-oh! Sorry, my name is Silverstreak, and uh, I'm kind of new here to Ponyville.”

She smiled as she said, “oh. Well welcome to Ponyville, I'm Junebug one of the florists here in Ponyville.”

Silverstreak's eye's widened as he said, “ 'one' of? How many Florists are there in Ponyville?”

She taped a finger on her chin in thought, “hm... well, there's me, Daisy, um....oh, and Lily valley too. Oh and there's rose also.”

Silverstreak blinked in surprise, “wow there's a lot of florists in Ponyville I guess then huh?”

Junebug nodded as she said, “yeah, but it's our talent so we all grow then really well- that and the ponies of Ponyville love flowers since most of us here are mares. Most of the florists here aren't even from Ponyville I don't think... I'm not, I don't think Rose or Lily are either... I think the only florist who is actually 'from' Ponyville is Daisy- Or was it Rose? Hmmm.... I can't remember but it's something like that I know that much.”

Silverstreak nodded as he smiled sheepishly, “wow, this mare likes to talk- a lot.”

Junebug smiled as she said, “hey where are you from? Your pretty well built, and look pretty educated too. are you from Canterlot?”

Silverstreak shook his head, “oh no, I am from Trottingham.”

“Ohhhhhh. Are you in the Equestrian military or something?”

He rubbed the back of his head as he pushed his glasses up a bit as he said, “yeah... um... something like that.” “Oh my... what was I coming over here to ask her again... um.... oh right.” “Hey do you know where the market around here is?”

“Market? Oh yeah all the markets are in the center of town.”

Silverstreak smiled as he said, “thank you. Then he turned to leave.”

However Junebug stopped him, “wait!”

Silverstreak sighed as he turned around and asked, “y-yes?”

“Aren't you gonna ask where I'm from?”

“Oh um... where are you..um... from?”

Junebug smiled as she said, “oh well funny you should ask, I'm from Ponyville.”

Silverstreak was confused now. “But.... you just said you aren’t from here.”

“I did? Oh that's right, I did. I lied.”

Silverstreak sighed as he said, “I see, well I have to go now... goodbye.”

Junebug smiled happily as she said, “okay. Bye!”

Silverstreak forced a smiled as he waved to her and moved on down the street. There was one problem- he didn’t know where the center of town was. And he didn't want to go and bother Junebug again either, so he simply decided to walk around town and see if he could spot it, after all it was where all the markets were yes? Shouldn't be that hard to find. Right?

                                                                      Twilight's point of view

Twilight sighed as she walked through the town square with Rarity. Rarity was buying cloth, and silk for her Boutique, and Twilight had nothing to do and was not wanting to go back to her home in the library because of Bladecleaver, so Rarity offered to let her hang with her. This led up to where she was right now- in the marketing side of Ponyville.

She sighed as she walked beside Rarity through the market. “So where do you go to buy this kind of stuff Rarity?”

“Oh, well, I go to Silken Sorrels' stand- he makes the most 'magnificent' silk in Equestria as far as I am concerned. Unfortunately he isn't always stocked up. He either won't have the silk or silks I need, or will be fresh out.

Twilight raised an eyebrow as she asked, “so.... if he isn't stock up, what do you do then?”

“Oh well then I go to Fluttershy, she has things to make silk with. I buy them from her and then make my own.”

“And.... if Fluttershy is out?”

“Then I pull out the couch.”

Twilight face palmed herself in the face as she said,”Oh gosh- seriously?”

“Why of course I am serious darling! I need silk to make dresses with! Without it I'd be...- she gulped and continued- less popular.”

Twilight sighed as she asked, “Rarity- why does it matter if you get a little less popular? She had always wondered this and hoped to get an explanation to this.”

Rarities eye's widened as she grabbed Twilight's dress and began shaking her wildly as she said, “are you kidding me?! Twilight if I lose popularity it will give somepony else a chance to gain popularity!”

Twilight furrowed her brows as she grabbed her magic and pulled her off of her as she said, “don't grab me like that again Rarity.”

Rarity sighed as she quickly said, “sorry, anyway- if I lose popularity and others gain popularity I'd go out of business because nopony would come to Ponyville!”

Twilight rolled her eye's as she said, “Rarity, ponies don't come 'only' for your dresses- you do know that, right?”

Rarity sighed and rolled her eye's as she said, “well of 'course' I do darling! “obviously I have stallions come in for suits too!”

Twilight groaned as she thought to herself, “I give up!”

Rarity smiled as she said, “hm, Twilight, you said you came from Canterlot castle?”

“Yeah why?”

“Who's that stallion over there? Is he somepony important?”

Twilight nodded as she said, “yeah, he's a Guardian and a friend of Bladecleaver's I think too.”

“I see. Well would you care to introduce me to him?”

Twilight smiled as she said, “of course, I'd be delighted to introduce you two. Come on. She led Rarity over to Silverstreak- whom didn't notice them coming of course.”

Twilight smiled towards him as he walked over to a  strawberry stand. “Hey Silverstreak!”

Silverstreak looked around to see who had said it, when his eye's met Twilight he smiled and waved- however when he locked eye's with Rarity, he slowly stopped waving as he stared at her, mouth falling open as he simply stared at Rarity, a large blush enveloping his face.

“Hey Silver, so are you liking Ponyville?”

He didn't answer as he stared at Rarity. All he saw was the sun shining down apon the white beauty, and sparkles as she waved her mane in a magnificent display of beauty as her mane flung over her shoulder and she gave him a breath taking smile. She was the most gorgeous being he had ever seen- even more breathtaking than Celestia or Luna.

                                                   Rarities point of view

Rarity smiled at him, he seemed quite impressed with her- she wasn't surprised. Most stallions who weren't colt cuddlers were. She watched as Twilight waved her hand in front of his face

“Silver? Equestria to Silver do you read me?” She then grabbed his shoulders and shook him yelling, “Snap out of it!” To say the least- it was ineffective.

Rarity rolled her eye's think, “oh my. Twilight dear you have a lot to learn of stallions my dear- first lesson, no stallion can resist my mane style- it's a proven fact.”

Finally Twilight slapped him across the face yelling, “hey! Snap out of it Silver!”

This made Silverstreak's eye's widen in surprise as he looked around, “huh? Sorry what were you saying Twilight?”

Twilight sighed as she repeated herself, “I asked if you like Ponyville so far.”

Silver smiled as he said, “oh, um... y-yes. Yes I um....- he looked over to Rarity with a smile- I love it here.”

Rarity smiled back warmly with a gorgeous smile, her thoughts however, not so pleasant. “He's just like the rest- handsome and and thinks he is good enough for me. Or if he doesn't, won't have the confidence to pursue me. I'll play with him a bit, make him think I am interested, and turn him down when he finally has the courage to ask me to be his.”

Rarity walked up to Silverstreak, moving her hips as she walked towards him, and put her hand out for him to shake. She gave him a gorgeous smile as she said, “I am Rarity, I own the local boutique here in Ponyville.”

He blushed profusely as he nodded his head. He was so entranced by her he didn't notice that he was still nodding.

Twilight poked his shoulder a bit and said in a flat tone, “Silver, snap out of it.”

Silverstreak shook his head a bit as he smiled sheepishly saying, “o-oh...um... sorry.”

Twilight sighed as she said, “it's fine.”

Silverstreak smiled dreamily at Rarity saying, “yeah. She is.”

Twilight looked at Silverstreak confused as she asked, “uh silver, what do you mean?”

Silverstreak blushed profusely- again- as he said, “o-oh um... n-nothing... just that um.... your friend is very beautiful is all.”

Rarity giggled a bit as she said, “why thank you kind sir.”

He nodded as his cheeks deepened in color.

Twilight rolled her eye's as she sighed.

Silverstreak suddenly looked at Twilight with a big smile triumphantly as he said, “I was able to talk to Bladecleaver to see reason.”

Twilight stared at him blankly as she said, “um... okay?”

Silverstreak chuckled sheepishly as he said, “sorry I forgot, you don't know what he was planning really do you?”

“No I do. He planned to go before Starlight gave the- oh! Okay now I see what you did!” She looked

at Silverstreak with a light blush on her cheeks as she thought to herself sheepishly, “now "I'm" the one who looks like a fool.”

Silver streak nodded as he said, “yeah, I'm just glad I was able to convince him to wait a while before rushing into the forest like an idiot and get us both killed.”

Twilight looked at him confused as she asked, “why would you need to go?”

Silverstreak sighed as he said, “I not "technically" required to go with him- if of course he were still doing it which he isn't, mind you- but if he still was planning to go into the forest then it would be because he is one of if not "is" my closest friend I have.”

Twilight nodded in understanding of his reasoning. She would follow any of her best friends to where ever they went no matter how dangerous. And she had no doubts that they would to the same for her.

Rarity furrowed her eyebrows, she wasn't used to being left out of a conversation. She disliked when that happened a lot. She put her hands on her hips and cleared her throat as she gave them both a stern look. They didn't notice though and if they did they were ignoring her. The very thought of being ignored made Rarities blood boil. She forced a smile as she said, “excuse me, not to flank into your conversation, but what exactly are you two talking about?”

Twilight and Silver streak both looked over at Rarity- Silver streak with a shy smile Twilight gave a sheepish smile as she said, “sorry Rarity, it's a long story- too long to tell here.”

Rarity kept her smile as she thought, “you won't get out of this that easily my darlings.” “Oh well that's quite alright, we can go get something to eat from a restaurant and you can tell me the entire story there.”

Twilight gave Silver streak an unsure look- however he was to entrances with Rarity to notice. “I-I dunno, don't you have a bunch of shopping to do?”

“Oh it can wait let's go eat.” She quickly grabbed Twilight and trotted off Silver streak not far behind.

                                                          Fluttershy's point of view

Fluttershy yawned as she stretched in her bed then after a couple minutes of stretching she threw her covers off and walked over to her closet to get dressed. Once she got her clothes on she walked out of her room and headed down stairs.

When she got down stairs she saw that Bidziil wasn't on the couch. She cocked her head a bit as she thought, “hmm, strange, he's- oh no wait, he's probably up doing something. I wonder if he's eaten or not yet? Hm...” she then headed into the kitchen and was surprised to see Bidziil making a sandwich. “Huh?! B- Bidziil, I never knew you could make a sandwich. He was making not one, but two sandwiches.”

“I've seen you make enough sandwiches to know how to make one Fluttershy. Besides that it's not at all hard to do.”

Fluttershy nodded a light blush as she said, “o-oh right....”

Bidziil continued making the sandwich as though nothing had happened at all

Fluttershy looked to the floor, the night before was so awkward. She wanted to talk to him about it, but how? What was she to say? She thought on this for a while. Finally she smiled and walked over to him and hugged him saying, “thank you Bidziil, here go take that over to the living room and I'll make the salad.”

Bidziil blushed in surprise as he was hugged. However he nodded and brought the sandwiches to the living room.

                                                             Starlight's point of view

Starlight was in Celestia's personal study writing a letter to his father, Starburst about the Demon breaking free from his prison. Celestia was in the corner of her study hugging herself nervously staring at the ground .Starlight sighed as he finished writing the letter and put it in an envelope, sealed, and grabbed the letter and crushed it. He opened his hand and the letter was burnt to ashes and swept up by the wind. Celestia opened the window so it could reach it's destination- the Guardian Tower.

Starlight sighed as he looked to Celestia and said, “there. It's sent it will be there in about three days if all goes well.”

Celestia looked at him with a mixture of worry and anger as she said, “and if all does not go well?”

Starlight was silent a moment before saying, “well... then I don't know my-” he was going to say his love but the cold glare in her eye's made him think twice about it however- “um Princess.....”

she nodded as she stood and said, “lets hope all goes well then.” She then proceeded to walk towards the door of her study.

Starlight watched her go with a saddened look in his eye. He sighed as he put his head in his hands thinking, “oh my gosh.... I hate my job sometimes.”

                                                                 Twilight's point of view

Twilight,  Silverstreak, and Rarity were having lunch at a restaurant called Le quack es lei Mon.

Twilight looked around awkwardly as she asked, “um.... Rarity, what country did you say this restaurant is?”

She looked to Twilight and said, “it's Percheron.” She smiled as she said, “don't worry Twilight darling, I've eaten here before- the food is simply exotic.”

Twilight nodded nervously as she thought “I hope it means that it's tasty.” She looked to Silverstreak to see if she was the only one nervous about this- he was no help. He was still staring at Rarity like a love sick foal. She rolled her eye's as she looked around the restaurant, the interior was amazing.

Milk white walls and a vibrant red carpet. A wall that separated the tables from her and her companions went to her waist, a pure gold railing that went to her chest. On the other side of the railing were the tables. Seated at them were fancy dressed ponies, most of them earth ponies, but there were a few Unicorns and even Pegasi.

Suddenly a white Unicorn stallion appeared in front of the trio.

He was tall lanky stallion, though a good half a head shorter than Silverstreak. He wore a neatly ironed tux, he has white fur, and a blue mane neatly brushed with a mustache to match. His eye's were blue also. “Hello' please follow mwa to your table.”

So Rarity and her comrades quickly followed the waiter to their table. Their table was quite well made, a white silk cloth covered it and a face of roses sat atop it. The chairs had gold embroidered onto them, and had a ruby in the middle of the top haft of each chair.

Twilight smiled, rather impressed- until she sat in the chair of course. The ruby jabbed into her back, and the entire chair was impossible to get comfortable in. Twilight looked at Rarity with a frown as she said, “um.. How exactly- no, why exactly would a high class pony make restaurant like this in Ponyville?”

Rarity shrugged saying, “I don't know, but I am so pleased he did. I always eat here- well when not with friends of course. Obviously then I go where you all want to go.”

“You mean Sugarcube corner?” Twilight asked?

Rarity nodded with a sigh. “Yes- don't get me wrong the food is nice there, Its just.. well I don't like eating too much sweets, I need to protect my figure you know.” She gave a quick pose- and gave a suggestive wink to Silverstreak.

He blushed so hard his entire face went red, his fur could be compared to big Mac's. She giggled at this, she hadn't had this much fun in ages, he was utterly in love with her. She smiled evil on the inside as she thought, “I can't was it to get him back to the boutique, then the fun will really begin, I wonder if he will let me put him in a dress...” this made her giggle quite a bit- to herself of course.

Twilight saw all of this happen and had a feeling in her stomach of what she was planning to do, and was highly resentful of it.

However before she could even take a breath in their waiter was back with menus. “Now would you eh, like to take your time or would you eh like to get straight to ze ordering?”

Rarity smiled at him as she said, “nous sommes prets a` commander monsieur (we are ready to order Mr.”

The waiters eye's lit up as a broad smile came to his face. “Oh, ho,ho,ho! I zee you Cain speak ei ze French, no?”

Rarity nodded as she said, “indeed I can. Now then we all will get L'escargot plateau (the snail platter).”

He nodded and gave a regal bow as he said, “tout de suite Mon Cheri (immediately my lady).” Then he walked off after taking back the menus.

Twilight looked at her confused as she asked, “what just happened?”

Rarity smile sweetly as she said, “oh, not much, he liked that I speak fluent French and I ordered for us all. Trust me, I eat here all the time, I know quality meals here.”

Silverstreak very nearly had hearts for eyes as he stared at Rarity lovingly. And judging by his look- he would do anything she wanted for her.

All Twilight could see was Rarity using him as a puppet to do her bidding. She was disgusted by it and hoped with all her heart Rarity wouldn't stoop that low.

Silverstreak looked around suddenly, impressed with the scenery. “Hey, when did we get here? The décor here is amazing.”

Twilight sighed as she shook her head- while Rarity giggled, know why he was so surprised- he was so involved in staring at her, he didn't realize where he was until now.

Suddenly Rarity decided to change the subject as she said, “so, how has Fluttershy been Twilight?”

Twilight smiled awkwardly as she said, “um.... pretty good, I hope....”

“you haven't heard of anything happening to her at all darling?”

“um... well...”

Rarity grabbed Twilight's hand as she said with pleading eye's, “darling, please. If you know of something bad happening to her, please...let me know.”

Twilight looked away, uncertain of whether to tell Rarity of what all was really happening or not. Finally she sighed as she said, “Fluttershy... She was attacked by- I don't know what it is really... But it nearly killed her and...um..... Her uh, friend also.”

“Oh my is she okay?”

“Yeah I saw her about an hour ago, she was perfectly unharmed.”

“I see well that's good to know. And what about her um..... Whatever his name is?”

“I dunno, he was covered in blood, I think it was the monsters of course, not his own.”

Rarity sighed in relief as she said, “oh thank goodness for that I was-” she stopped as she then asked, “did you see this monster Twilight?:

Twilight nodded as she said, “yes, I wish I hadn't though.... It was scary.”

Rarity nodded as she was about to ask what it looks like and any other questions she wanted answered. However before she could their waiter was back with their food. “Your meals are ready madam.”

Rarity squee'd as she said, “oh ho0w delightful!”

Twilight smiled now fully impressed by the restaurant- until of course he lifted the top from the plates.

all that was on the plate was a small shell. And the plate was quite large.

Twilight looked at Rarity confused as she asked, “um.... what is this?”

“Oh that is L'escargot plateau.”

“And um... what is that in a language I can understand?”

The waiter answered this time. “It eiz ze znail platter madam.”

Twilight eye's widened in horror as she looked to Rarity in disgust as she said, “you actually expect me to eat this?!”

The waiter looked very insulted, however Twilight could care less how he felt about this right now. There was no way she was going to eat a snail.

Rarity gave Twilight a scornful look as she said, “Twilight! The waiter is right here, don't insult his cooking darling! Trust me it's good for you!”

Twilight looked to Silverstreak who was already tapping the shell with a spoon.

Finally she huffed and said, “fine. I'll eat it.” She poked it with a fork, not sure how to get past the shell.

Thankfully Rarity noticed this and helped her as she said, “here darling I'll show you how to do it.” She took her spoon and tapped the Sheol with her spoon, cracking the shell. Then she took the crack pieces off and smiled as she said, “there we are darling, a meal fit for a lady.”

Twilight raised an eyebrow as she asked, “um.... Are you positive this is what ladies eat Rarity?”

Rarity gave her a blunt look as she said, “are you questioning whether I'm a lady darling?”

Twilight sighed as she face palmed and said, “no! I just-”

“Because I assure you I am very much a lady darling.”

Twilight sighed but said nothing. It wasn't worth it. Instead she grabbed her fork and grabbed the snail and lifted it from the shell to her mouth. She cringed as she put it into her mouth. It was slimy, and was also tasteless. She nearly gagged on the bite. Lucky for her she was able to swallow with only a bit of trouble.

Rarity smiled ad she asked, “so? What do you think?”

“It's horrible.” Twilight said in blunt disgust.

“Well I suppose it's not the most amazing dish- but it does help you to keep your figure like mine.”

Twilight sighed as she said, “okay, are we done?” she quickly gave a sheepish smile as she said, “oh- um...sorry, that was rude.”

Rarity waved her off as she said, “oh nonsense darling I understand. You've got to get used to this kind of food. It took me three months to get used to it.”

“Come-” Rarity said ecclesiastically- “on let's go and- ohhh, I don't know,maybe.... give Fluttershy a visit perhaps.”

Twilight sighed as she nodded saying, “fine.”

Rarity smiled widely as she grabbed Twilight's hand and very near dragged her out of the restaurant.

                                                               Starburst's point of view

Starburst was currently doing paperwork. Many didn’t see the leader of the Guardian Tower doing paper work- why they would ever think that, he didn't know. It was almost all he did now a days.

Suddenly he heard a knock on his door. He sighed as he said come in without so much as looking up from the papers.

A young mare walked into the room she had a light purple coat and wore blue armor consisting of a breast plate, hip plates, knee caps, elbow guards and helmet which was under her arm. Her mane was black with red streaks in it. Her eye's were a light green color- not exactly matching the rest of her, they stood out quite plainly. She also had a sword strapped to her waist and a buckler on her forearm. Despite her mismatching body, she was quite beautiful looking to be around her very early twenties or so.

Starburst lifted his eye's to see who it was. Gave a curt nod as he said, “yes Shayne Spark?”

“My lord, I feel I am ready to be given my own province now....I've been talked with you of this before, I know... But..... I truly believe I am ready now.”

Starburst sighed as he said, “get me a written letter of recommendation from a lord or lady from a city without a Guardian protector and you will be given that one. Otherwise no.”

She groaned in frustration before she begged “please my lord! Give me another way to do so!”

“No. Do this or leave me, this is your answer Shayne. Accept it or begone.”

She sighed but left him none the less.

Starburst then went back to his paperwork.

However another knock was heard apon the door. Starburst growled as he called out, “leave me be!”

However the door opened and to his surprise- it was his youngest son, Starbright who walked in. “I thought I told you- oh? What do you want my son?”

Starbright smiled as he said, “oh I simply wanted to say hello to you-”

“Don't lie to me colt. You hate me. You'd kill me if you had the chance and you know it. Tell me the truth.”

“Alright, it's true- I am not very fond of you, father- I assure you though that I do not hate you. I do have news however.”

Starburst raised an eye brow in interest. “I see, well I am listening.”

Starbright bowed as he said, “an old friend of yours is coming back- very soon too.”

“Who?”

“Oh I don't want to ruin the surprise father. Your "perfect" eldest son is sending you a message telling who it is.”

“You came all the way here to waste my time telling me this?”

“Mmm... Not quite.”

“Then what may I ask is your purpose for coming here then?!”

“Temper, temper old stallion. I merely wanted to give a little, how should I say- gift to you.” He then handed a large ruby colored gem to him. On the gem was a dragon carved into it, gold was embroidered into the dragon carving.

Starburst's eye's widened as he gasped, “he's- he's back?”

“Oh- wait until the letter gets here you'll see, Daddy, he said with a sneer.” He laughed as he walked out of the room, leaving an astonished old stallion staring at the ruby.

He sighed as he got up and walked out of the room, the guards were still at his door. He sighed in relief and told the guard to the left, “go and find me  Shayne Spark, I want to see her, and Silkmane, and Whitewash.”

The stallion nodded and trotted off without questioning him.

Starburst sighed as he walked back into his quarters and said, “I should have ended this long ago...”

                                                               Fluttershy's point of view

Fluttershy and Bidziil were now on her couch eating their sandwiches. It was rather peaceful at the moment, nothing really happening at all, she liked it this way. Nothing but piece.

Suddenly the front door slammed open and Rarity, Twilight and Silverstreak march on in- Rarity doing more of the marching than Twilight and Silverstreak, who were a bit more hesitant than Rarity was.

“Darling! Rarity said gleefully, your okay!”

“Um... Y- yes, I um.. Suppose I am aren't I?”

Rarity walked over to her and glomped her as she said, “I heard you attacked by something and came to see if you were safe.”

Fluttershy's eye's went wide as she said, “oh, well um... Thank you, that was really kind of you.”

“Oh it was my pleasure darling, really! Now um... Just out of curiosity, what did it look like?”

Fluttershy sighed as she said, “oh. I see why you came over here now.”

“W-whatever do you mean darling?”

“You just wanted something to gossip about.”

“Um...no! I came to see if you were safe!”

“well I am.”

“I can see that darling but-”

Fluttershy sighed as she said, “wait, I'll tell you what is going on.”

                                                 Bladecleaver's point of view

Bladecleaver sighed as he sat waiting for the letter. It had already been one day and he was about ready to go. “Okay I've waited more than long enough- I'm heading to the Everfree forest now. He got off Twilight's couch and headed out to the Everfree forest.”

                                                              Silverstreak's point of view

Silverstreak was sitting in a chair in Fluttershy's house with the other girls talking about what was going on and what they were up against. Suddenly he looked out the window and saw Bladecleaver heading for the forest. His eye's widened as he got up out of the chair and ran outside as he called, “hey! What do you think your doing?!”

Bladecleaver looked to him and said, “I got tired of waiting. I'm going in right now.”

“W-wait! But it's only been one day! And you plan to go alone?”

“Yup, you weren't there so I-”

“just wait an hour please. so I can get ready.”

Bladecleaver sighed as he said, “fine. You got one hour, then I'm going into the forest with or without you!”

Silverstreak nodded as he said, “thanks.”
