 * Discord folds his arms and combs his beard, deciding to allow the others to handle the talking for now. Again, he waits to take the rear.  *

* ''As the harbor of Trotham darkens, two familiar cloak-clad stallions backtrack through an alley, heading for the Timber Fang Tavern. One of them, a bat-pony, is hardly bothered when the light dims, but his tufted ears perk up suddenly when he hears several sets of hoofsteps following him and his companion down the alleyway. After signaling his partner to do the same, he turns to meet his stalkers eye-to-eye—all three of them. Two stallions and one mare stare back from under their hoods.''*

Stallion: Vega, Lucid...

* Neither of the outnumbered stallions says anything.*

Stallion 2: We've been waiting too long.

* ''Lucid gazes over his shoulder instinctively to ascertain the escape path—it's no longer there. Three more ponies have blocked the other direction off. When he looks up, he sees the heads of more ponies staring down from the rooftops, their silhouettes outlined against the twilight sky.''*

Vega: You don't look familiar.

Mare: Hm, hm... You will say differently behind the idea under these hoods.

* ''Vega and Lucid's stalkers give no further warning before pouncing with stun guns and blades drawn. Vega whips a collapsible bow from under his cloak, leaps back, and is quick to down one of the charging stallions with a shot to the knee. Lucid draws a brassy spearhead—from it extends its similarly colored shaft, and when Lucid aims his weapon at the other group charging from the alley's entrance, they find themselves zapped with a released shock of lightning. But the rooftop ponies swoop down to replace their incapacitated fellows, and though three more assailants fall, Lucid and Vega are disarmed and stunned into submission before long.''*

Lucid: Ergh..! Who are you!?

* ''All the Pegasus gets for an answer is the cracking sound of his friend being kicked unconscious. A moment later, Lucid too sees only blackness.''*
