Ciri was drinking from her canteen. Capping it as she arrived in time to see Golden Harvest packing her wares, going over she picked up a crate sliding it into the cart with ease. "Here you go, ready to go?" the mare jumped abit in surprise. But sigh in relief upon seeing her.

"Oh, Ciri. You're in time. Thank you, and yes we're ready to go." she motions for some colts who hitch themselves to the cart's harness. "We're going to Mulberry, they're only about 30 minutes by hoof to the west of Whitetail woods. Move out boys! Our bodyguard's here!" the stallions and wave at Ciri and start trotting pulling the cart with them.

Ciri follow them towards the forest. Taking the rear, walking alongside Golden. "Mulberry eh? Sounds oddly familiar to this one village in Velen. Must be just a coincidence."

"Where are you from anyway?" the carrot mare asked. "I haven't seen anyone quite like you. And i met with griffons, changelings and saw dragons. But you're different."

"Would you believe I'm from another world?" Golden only arched an eye at that.

"Knowing our track record? Yes, i do. Not that surprising." seeing Ciri's surprised and confused face, she elaborated. "I seen dragons. A spirit of Chaos, mad unicorns and weekly monster attacks. In short, Welcome to Ponyville. the capital of chaos" she gives a nervous chuckle.

With a chuckle her own. "Then I won't have any problems running out of work to do when i get back" she grins back getting the mare to laugh out loud in response.

Something later, Ciri noticed something off, it gotten quite, and she could feel something watching them. She pull her sword out and tap the carriage, causing the stallions to stop, they saw the sword out and got worried, looking around. Carrot Top saw it too and huddle close to the carriage. "Ci-Ciri. what's wrong?" she whispers.

"No sudden movements, no sudden noises. I think the timberwolves are stalking us. Keep moving.. I'-" before she could say anything else, snarling can be heard from the trees to their side. a pack filled with 6 timeberwolves lumbered out. "Run!" she slapped the carriage as she hopped over, blocking the wolves path. Clutching her sword as they lunge at them, the stallions and Carrot bolted out of there. Ciri intercepted one wolf, slicing it leg before it reaches the ponies. "Not so fast, you got to get by me first!"

They circled around her, snarling. She took the initiative this time and teleported behind a wolf, cutting it down before it could react letting out a whimper. As another barked , trying to bite her, she moved her leg away and with a shout stab it in the head, causing it to writhe before it's glowing eyes dim and the body crumbles. Ciri teleported backwards in time to avoid another attack.

"Come you mutts, is that the best you got!" they remaining wolves snarled. And let out a synchronized howl. She gulped, feeling something bad is going to happen. She's right the wolves suddenly burst into twigs, and they magically pull back into the trees. Not a minute later, a tree lost its branch as massive timberwolf shoot out, Slashing its claw, Ciri only had time to block with her sword, but was pushed back as the tree besides her get a massive gash. She rolls away, standing up. Luckily kept a firm grip on her sword. "Well.. fuck." she bluntly uttered as the big wolf let out a let out a loud bark. "Come at me then you literal son of a birch!"

Ciri teleported as it tried to smash its paw down at her, striking it in retaliation, slashing three times at its leg and hide. Cutting bark off it, but not much else. She grunts as she disappear only to make 3 clones of herself, striking the beast from angles. it gave a whined as it kicked its leg back. Catching Ciri off guard causing her to slam against the tree. Grunting in pain. "Gah, tough bastard" she stood up, rolling away in time as the wolf bites at the tree , snapping it in two.

Seeing this as an opportunity. She teleported onto its back, steadying herself she stab down onto the nape of it neck. Causing it to howl in agony. Trashing around with enough force to knock Ciri off. She was able to recover back onto ehr feet, ready to fight once more.

"Didn't like that did you?! Good I'm not finished with you yet!" she points her sword towards it, the wolf growled and lunged forward, only for Ciri to magically dash forward, phasing through the wall, causing some damage to it and causing it to fall down. Whimpering. Ciri took the chance to once again teleport onto its back and before it could recover. She stabbed her sword down with a battle cry through it's head. Trashing its legs, knocking down the trees surrounding it. But it finally collapse. With a beastly wail and a burst of magic pouring out of it mouth and eyes, the magic in the body dimmed.

`Ciri fell off to the side, grunting as she landed on her side as she watches the body crumbled down. Only its head remained whole, its eyes dimmed and now it sports a large hole on the top of its head.

Ciri sighs in relief as she got up, dusting herself off. Grunting in pain at the bruise forming in her arm as she goes over, and grab ahold of the head. Lifting it up, causing the lower jaw to come lose. "Geralt will not believe this even if i shown him" she giggles. Sheating her sword, she roll her shoulder as she walk towards the direction she remembered the ponies run off too. After some walking she came out of the forest, seeing a worried Carrot Top. "Ciri!" she calls out "You're alright, i'm so sorry for running off .. are you ok? Where's the timber-"

"Right here" lifting up her new trophy, getting the stallions and Carrot to gape in awe. "He won't bother anyone ever again. I made sure of it." chuckling but winches abit as she rubs her bruise. "You don't happen to have Celadine don't you?"

"The flower? Ciri you're hurt! I'm glad you're alright, come. The town is just over there, I'll buy you medicine. I insist, you saved us after all" Ciri smiles and nods and follow them into Mulberry. The ponies had the same reaction upon seeing her, guiding ponies. They stare, but did not much else besides whispering, probably spreading rumors already. Golden harvest start unpacking, she then toss a bag, Ciri caught it, hearing coins clicking. "Thank you."

"No, thank YOU! Ciri. Now. Don't move young lady. I'll be going to find a doctor. So sit down!"the girl does so. Nodding her head. "Boys, set up. Make sure she sits put" with a smiles, she runs off into the village. Ciri could only laugh as she leans back on the bench, taking out a cupcake to eat. Smiling to herself. "I'll really going to like it here." she said, smiling all the while as she finishes up the food downing her water.
