“I see! I’ll have some of my men get them once we return everyone to the temple.” Bunsen says with a smile.
Emerald looks to Joyride, and wonders if they are going to be able to wake her up. As if this thought floated out of his head some of the nearby ponies offer to take her, but Nishan scoops her up and puts the unicorn on her back first.
“You’ve all been through enough for now. I can handle this.” Nishan says.
Emerald can’t help but notice that some of the mares go dreamy eyed at this, notably Loupe.
A few moments later they are all out the door. Bunsen leaves one of his cohorts behind, telling him to stick to the shadows in case anyone returns and then to report whatever transpires.
Bunsen takes the lead, along with two other armored zebras. Every few feet or so are another pair of zebras flanking the ponies who are all gathered in the middle, much like a fence surrounds and guards the animals within. The whole group is surprisingly quiet, perhaps because the sight of the escort makes everyone feel like they aren’t all quite out of danger yet. Emerald can’t help but chuckle a bit as they pass onlookers on the street, most of whom give a confused, curious look. One even has the courage to attempt to hit on one of the ponies within, only to be shot down by a glance from one Bunsen’s stallions.
Emerald catches up with the head shaman and asks what sort of tricks he has up his sleeve. He even asks if he has a potion that will make him huge and muscly.
“I do actually have one of those!” Bunsen says with a laugh, “But as for my really secret surprises I’m afraid I don’t want to reveal too much. No offense meant, it’s just that a surprise attack can be the difference between winning and losing.”
