He cradles the little Dragon.

"I think this was Fluttershy's intention. To take Bonbon and leave Scribner. He's a reminder that I've lost so much that is dear to me. As an added bonus if we come close to the forest again he can try to escape and give away my position or try to force me to come back. He's more experienced with the staff than I am and with monster control. There's no way I could beat him in a strait fight."

Something hits the wagon with a *thrrd* and the minotaur driver squeals in terror.

"Don't shoot!"

She yells.

"What's going on Judy?"

Quill asks sticking his head out of the front of the cart again.

The minotaur is staring straight ahead at some rough looking ponies with bows and arrows, one of which is stuck in the upright beside her head, only now stopped quivering.

"Y'all better skeedaddle, we don't take kindly ta' strangers 'round there parts."

The head stallion calls out to them.

Quill figured they had found who they were looking for. Or rather they had been found by who they were looking for.

"Please sir, we mean you no harm. We were attacked in our village. We are from a broken down looking trading post on the edge of the edge of the dragon lands. We were about to move on when they struck. We think only two other wagons made it out. We got separated. we were chased into this area. We have supplies. Maybe we can trade for some shelter and hospitality."

He didn't know how unwelcome they were but didn't want to make things worse so he remained a vague as he could.

"No! You're a unicorn! You're unwelcome here, move on."

The stallion growls aggressively.

"I'm also a broken one. Casting any spell hurts me. Please. They took my mate. She was an earth pony. At least tell me why unicorns aren't welcome."

"Unicorns did this. You are unicorn. You are unwelcome."

The stallion calls. Quill can tell from his speech that they have spent a lot of time with buffalo.

"There are differences between good and bad Unicorns you know, just a any other species. But how could unicorns turn a desert into glass. I thought it was some kind of explosion."

He, like most in the main country was told the Midnight Order had set off some kind of bomb but he had his doubts on the culprits.

"Unicorns bring bomb, turn desert to glass. You are unicorn, you turned desert to glass, slaughtered my people. Begone"

The stallion raises a hoof and the bows are drawn.

Quill spreads his arms and moves so his is blocking Judy.

"I had nothing to do with that. I'm an illusionist. An entertainer. (bluff) I can't make things blow up. To accuse me of this is like saying every Pegasi is responsible for what happened at our village because the leader of the group was a Pegasus. I know the pain of loosing loved ones and your home. It's something I wouldn't wish on anypony. Please don't make this woman and the children we have with us suffer because you let suspicion and hate rule your hearts."

"We will help the women and children."

The stallion says, the bows still raised.

"The horned one will make a fine wife for the chief."

"That's no negotiable. She already has a bull in mind. Though if I must I'm invoking parley. As I understand it that entitles me to an audience with your chief to plead our case. I mean you no harm. We are just trying to get by after the attack. And sense you'll see them I must warn you the children are dragons."

He says seeing very few options at this point besides parley, fight, or running and tempt them to attack and take their supplies.

"Take it or leave it. We do not parley with outsiders."

The stallion repeats.

"I should say I am surprised to find you so heartless but I'm not. There's a lot in this world that can harden a stallions heart. Excuse me while I confer with my companions."

He directs his eyes to the Dragons but keeps an ear out for the tribe to do anything.

"I assumed you all heard. I don't like this but perhaps we can work something out. If one or two of you go then perhaps you can speak for the rest of us, then we can all go and be safer. but I won't pretend to be fully trusting of them. It's dangerous. Leatherbound, what do your books say. Would a buffalo chief listen to a Dragon?"

Leatherbound scribbles something and hands it to Wind Shier.

"Don't think so. Dragons and Buffalo have had no communication, so they probably distrust us... Oh, and they may have heard about Ponyburg."

Wind adds as he's handed a smaller note.

"I don't like this. We need food and water. But I'm not about to hand Judy over to their chief. I've not even told them about Scribner here so they don't even know that there are two unicorns here, despite the fact he has no magic. They seem to be under the impression that I alone could do major damage to them or at the very least will kill some one. I'm in need of your council. Do you think that there is any chance we would all be aloud in after an explanation or should we try to trade right here?"

He asks the dragons. It felt unfair to ask those who looked so young for this advice but they were mostly older than he was.

"I'm fine with that, by the way."

Judy chimes in.

"IF some scrawny little pony wants to try anything, he'll find out what a minotaur woman can do."

The dragons smile slyly to each other and nod slowly.

"See if he will take a 'trade'. Judy for some supplies and perhaps allow us to camp nearby?"

Ok. ok Judy. Just be careful. He keeps calling him the chief and that brings to my mind a giant buffalo. I've heard they can be in excess of a thousand pounds and that's muscle. And they are supposed to have horns like Will, and a savage nature."

Quill sighs at himself.

"And that's all pony propaganda so who know's how much of it is actually true. Would you like some one to come with you? I can't and they won't understand that Scribe has no magic, besides I don't trust him fully not to get us all captured so he can escape and get Fluttershy, but Windshier could give you back up if you would like."

He suggests looking to wind shier.

"I think they would be suspicious of a male."

Wind Shier grumbles. The albino sister stands.

"I will go with her. I am female, but also a dragon. They would be unwise to attempt to violate me."
