Gold Crest chuckled. "R-R-Right..." he mumbled. "So are you serious about those cookies, Miss Sparrow?"
Silence looked at her slightly smoking horn, and putted some magic in it, resulting in feeling a little headache. She nodded at Sparrow, mouthing ''Over-used it''.
Meanwhile, Tirek's scouts looked on the ponies from afar. "These ponies are more special that they realize..." The stallion pegasus whispered to the unicorn mare. "Yes... Shall we report back to master Tirek?" She asked. "We shall". The two scouts ran off, back to Tirek's castle. "So what's for grub?" Gold Crest asked. "Do we even have food?"
Silence's ears dropped, as she looked in her saddlebags. She took out two apples, nine bits, and her Sun's book of teachings. She pushed the apples torwaard her companions, and putted back the other things, smilig sadly.
Gold Crest shook his head, and returned the apple to Silence. "No thanks. You eat it. I'll go off scavenging." he said.
Gold Crest frowned. "I doubt they have much, but it's worth a try." he said. "If we don't find anything, you mares need to eat."
Robin was simply out hunting for his dinner when two bandits started walking past him. Talking about someone called Tirek and important. He couldn't make out much else but he was curious about where they came from. He travelled through the forest with a shot rabbit on his back. He then thought to himself "This is going to be my 5th rabbit this week. Sure I have to eat anything to survive but this. This is horrible... Nice but still horrible." he continued walking before spotting a group of ponies. Hiding in the bushes to stay out of site.
Silence cracked her neck, and pouted at the apple. She poked Gold roughly, and wrote with her magic, ''Stallions needs to protect the mares, And i can survive long enough without food. And if we head to some village, i'm sure we could find a contract as Mercenaries to get enough money and food to hold for a month.''
"Whoa... No way, Miss Silence." Gold Crest responded. "I prefer the mares being strong. Aaaand... I think someone's watching us."
She poutted at Gold. She jabbed him, her iris widening, before she smiled widely. She wrote, ''Thoughest mares. Like the one who would hold you tightly when the thunder is too strong for you princess ears?''
Gold Crest forced the apple into Silence's mouth. "Now, there is someone watching us. Are we going to do something or not?" he asked, reading his rapier again.
Silence coughed the apple out of her mouth, and quickly finished her apple. Looking at the bushes, she flared her light magic to get the stalker's attention. While her light was on, she putted her hoof in front of her two companions, a sign to let them know she'll be the one to make the first move in the upcoming altercation. She slowly walked in the directon of the stalker, her horn glowing with a golden light.
"exactly, unknown pony." he said quietly as he fired an arrow with a piece of paper on it. Landing straight in the ground next to gold and silence. It simply read: Whoever you are, I saw two bandits coming from your way. Talking about importance and there master Tirek. If you wish for some good stealthy firepower. Follow the trajectory.
Silence mistepped in surprise, at the sight of the arrow flying to her. She almost falled on her side, then looked at the note. Motionning to her friends she was alright, she read the note, and smiled in the Bushes direction.
Gold Crest approached the bush and pointed his rapier straight at Robin's throat. "How are you?" he demanded. "Either tell us or die."
