Glimmer can't stop herself from shaking, despite the fire she's been left beside. Across the fire, two gruff looking stallions speak in hushed tones. One cleans blood off of a knife in his hand. "You think she's the one they're looking for?" The younger of the two stallions asks, glancing over at Glimmer. The older one nods, sheathing the knife. "Yeah. That's the one." The younger stallion's mouth begins to twist into a wicked grin. "Now, you be a good little girl, and-." His sentence is interrupted by a hideous snapping sound, followed by his agonized screams. "Shit!" The older stallion jumps up, drawing his knife. The younger stallion lifts his head to scream, only for it to be quickly slammed back into the ground, silencing him.
"Murder in the first degree, and kidnapping." Glimmer sees a new figure emerge on the other side of the fire. The older stallion's hands start to shake. "My verdict? Guilty. The punishment is death." Glimmer closes her eyes tight. She hears the sound of rumbling earth, then the older stallion lets out half a second of a scream. Then, all is silent.
"It's okay sweetie. The Guard is here." The figure's voice is soft now. Glimmer feels a hand gently touch her shoulder. She whimpers, but opens her eyes despite wanting not to. A gruff looking unicorn is knelt beside her with his hand on her shoulder. The ropes tied around Glimmer are loosened, and she's scooped up by a pair of rough, calloused hands. She doesn't see the face of the man who has just picked her up, but she does see the insignia of the Ponyville Guard on his tunic. After a moment, she begins to cry into it.
Nar wraps his cloak around the crying filly, and nestles her tight to his chest. "You're okay now. Let's get you somewhere safe, and warm." #rp
