The Hunter and The Hunted

"Is it over?" Twilight asked, removing her hoofs from here ears.  Cerberus made sure the coast was clear, as did Hawk, and Bull helped Twilight up.  Bull was a little nervous because of the fact that Twilight had never been around guns before.

Twilight never felt safe around guns, which was probably why she liked the fact that Canterlot guards only carried spears or swords.

Hawk took out a few vials from one of his small pouches and gently drained the fangs of the mutilated spiders.  Hawk signaled that it was okay as he capped the corks on the vials of green liquid and stowed the away.

"These spiders are a pain to deal with, but if we're going all the way to Neighpolis, we are going to find more than just spiders," Cerberus said, kicking over one of the bodies.

They pushed on through the desert, water was running low.  They where still a few miles away before they started growing weaker.  The desert had a limited number of oases along the edge of the desert that connected to the woods so travelers could fill up  their water supply before venturing into the forests.

They stopped by one just as they felt as if they could go no longer.

"So, you where telling me about your life, Cerberus?" Twilight asked.
