"Please let him go in some years from now! Princesses this may sound foolish but he did not kill. I beg of you let him go in a few years, half a lifetime of learning respect and discipline will teach him! Please he was trying to protect himself and angry at me so it is not his fault." Panther begged.

Luna smiled.

Celestia frowned.

"I will ponder your decision and may carry it out. For now he has a lifetime sentence. Please leave now." Spoke the alicorn showing no emotion except a tiny glint of care in her eyes.

Panther grinned then sighed and trotted out the grim guards still looking forward into what seemed to be no where.

She walked to an iron door that was guarded by two guards and requested to see the thief. The pair hesitated but the allowed her in. Down the damp dark and musty spiral stone stairs they went and into the room holding the cells. Panther looked for the thieves cage and found it.

He was slumped against the wall staring at the floor his coat gleaming in the dim light. "Be careful." muttered one guard bitterly. "Hello sir, sorry to bother you just wanted to say hi. By the way if you should know I sorry you're in here so I'm fighting for your freedom, at least you might be free forty years from now but it may be sooner." For some split second he looked up at her then back down. "That's enough." the other guard gruffly. "Come on Miss let's go." And so Panther went hoping that the thief would not hate her.
