Roan backed away as far as he could until his back hit the end of the alley. The guards had found him out and he had no where to run. In desperation he charged at the guards and ran right past them. Roan hid in a crowd, recovering his cloak and once again covering his wings. If he was careful he would be fine.

Geo sighed as he made his way through the crowd, hood carefully down so as to hide his horn and the rest of his cloak hiding the rest of him.

Stopping for a moment, he looked around, but his focus was broken as somepony ran headlong into his side sending him a few feet back and flipping him over onto his back so that his hood came right off.

Hauling himself to his hooves, he looked to the pony that had bowled him over.

((Since there will be others around, could you get their reactions?))

((Sure))

Everypony stopped and gasped at the unicorn. Roan saw him and muttered "CRAP!" He went to the unicorn and said "No time to explain, follow me!"

Not entirely sure what had just happened, he saw the guards coming their way, "Done." He followed the colt out of the scene.

Roan headed straight for the forest. He didn't know it well, but neither did the guards.

Geo galloped beside the colt, when he saw that they were going towards the forest, he smiled, he knew the Everfree well enough to call it a 'slightly hazardous home.'

Roan looked behind at the guards still hot on their tails and said "these guys are persistent"

Looking back, "Unfortunately. The forest gets thicker over there." He nodded towards a thicket of trees off to their right, "We can lose them in there."

"You know the forest pretty well," Roan chuckled "I'll have to follow you for a while"

"Fine." Geo angled off into the thicket and leaped into the foilage. Huddling down under a bush, he signaled to the colt to hide in a similar spot.

((You handle the guards))

Roan hid in a thick bush and watched as the guards looked around

"Where are they?"
"I don't know... *sigh* I can't believe this is what we are reduced to... hunting ponies because of their blood..."
"I know... but orders are orders. They may have doubled back, lets go"
"R-right.."

Sure that the guards were gone, Geo slowly extricated himself from under the bush, "Well, that was... fun."

Roan emerged and said "Yeah, being hunted is tons of fun"

Geo sighed, "Come with me. I've set up a small home here."

Leaping over some foliage, Geo made his way to a small cave set in the side of a small hill, "Come on in. It's cramped, but I have food enough."

Roan entered slowly and remarked "you've... been here awhile I take it"

"Ever since Celestia went weird. My instincts have saved me time and time again." He sighed as he turned to a patch of luminescent moss and stroked it with his hoof, his horn glowing slightly, it then gave a little more light than previously.

Roan sighed and replied "I don't get it, but the Princess has been extremely against magic as of late. I have a bad feeling about this"

Geo sighed as he lay down on a small straw mat, "As do I. I mean there HAS to be something that happened to her. This is completely uncharacteristic of her."

"There has to be something that we can do."

"What can we do?" Roan asked "We can't just go up to Princess Celestia and say 'hey, I noticed you suddenly hate magic! Are you currently under a spell?'... well... we couldn't do it on our own at least. We need some more ponies with us"

Geo grumbled as he used his magic to levitate a grass mat over to Roan from the back of the cave, "Here. Oh, before we talk much more, my name is Geo."

Roan lay on the moss and chuckled "sorry, I'm pretty air-headed. My name's Roan"

"Good to meet you Roan." Geo looked out of the cave for a moment then returned his attention to Roan, "Where can we find other ponies that will help us, since I can't go into town without my cloak and I lost it when you bashed into me. And you've been seen with me, so the guards will be alert to us more than usual."

"I heard there was a guard that escaped from Canterlot. Maybe he could help?" Roan suggested

"Maybe... Any idea of where this guard might be?"
