Goldfin: "Not only that. The entrance collapsed as soon as we entered, and the wolves attacked out of nowhere!"

King Aspen: "So you believe it was a trap?"

Goldfin: "Totally."

King Aspen: "I see. First, I would thank you for the effort you've put into this search. I know it has not been easy on you, but I must ask that you patiently hear what I have to say next."

Goldfin: "What is it?"

King Aspen: "If this was a trap, it was meant to completely eliminate you in a place inaccessible to anyone, including the fiend himself. He apparently had intention of ever returning. Unless he has foolishly imprisoned himself inside those caves, there is little doubt that he is far from here. The trap was placed to cover his getaway."

Goldfin: "You mean... we never stood a chance of finding him in the forest in the first place?"

King Aspen: "Though I am reluctant to admit it, Power Ponies, it appears that way."

Flashfire: "Gyah..."

Flashfire: "Fact of the day—apparently, I can be hurt by acid."


 * The young dragon glowers at the copter as it flies away, wondering if she might be able to catch up by sprinting across the rooftops.
