With his own knife still at his side but his staff left behind he could almost be one of them his broken horn and scraped up appearance was almost as bad especially with his scar on his cheek.. His leather armor was one thing he wished he had bothered to put back on after sleeping but alas he was not thinking clearly. He also wished he had that staff. it was not as deadly as the spears but he could have used it.

"How far is it?"

He asks aloud so he is not muttering too much.

"A turn of the dial."

The mare on his side replies simply.

"A turn of the... you mean a sun dial? Half a day?"

He asks trying to understand her.

"No. Sand-dial."

The mare grunts.

"It's about half an hour."

Judy mutters to him.

"Ah. I see."

He nods then realizes a strange triviafact. Sand itself is now rare here. It was hard to think of sand as rare in a desert but here they were walking on over an inch of glass.

The only sound after he finishes is the quad-clopping of the ponies hooves and the strange sounding bi-pedal walking of Judy, who still looks cold and uncomfortable.

he wished he could say something to her to make her feel better. he hadn't asked her to do this. It wasn't that important they could have tried to hunt. She had had a Minotaur she was already courting and she had done this to herself for him. He had to some how be worth that.

A small dark shape comes into view on the horizon, shimmering in the head. Judy makes a gesture towards it,

Quill tries to make it out as a hoof protects his eyes from the glare on the desert.

It appears to be Appleoosa, except for the fact that most of the structures are burnt husks, surrounded by tents and makeshift dwellings.

He stopped. He had only seen the town once before when he and some of the boys had to come see to a shipment from the mines that was late but even that one time made this worse than he thought it would be. he thought everything would be clean and leveled, that it would all be cleared and just an empty place now. He could even still identify the mayors office where they 'talked ' to the officials abut keeping to schedules It looked like a dead body or a ghost. he looked a little sick. Carnage was not something he dealt with well though he was getting better. he didn't throw up this time.

The group moves closer, Quill can now make out shapes moving amongst the ruins, stallions, mares and foals all, still working and living together to survive.

He wondered what they meant by chief. He had kind of expected to see buffalo with them but nothing that big came over the horizon. he scrutinized the place trying to see if there even was something worth trading for.

Quill notices the glass between his hooves is cracked and broken, as if the ponies had been trying to get through it. The chipping gets denser as they move towards the settlement.

He notices the chips and looks to his knife. It could probably get through the glass as good as any mining pick. It was made to crush rock after all. If nothing else he may be able to trade labor for something.

As they approach they can see a makeshift fence surrounding the town, though it couldn't keep a sheep out.

"Wait here."

The mare orders, cantering ahead.

Quill stops as he is told. he looks over the wreckage.

"I knew this place..."

he said loud enough for the other guard and Judy to hear.

"I knew of it, from travelling."

Judy replies quietly.

"Not even all the dragons in Queen Grace's clutch could do this to a town."

"They were told Unicorns did this? There is no way there are this many unicorns with such destructive spells who could do it in the instant reported in the paper, except perhaps in the coven but they wouldn't be bothered to come here. This is a mystery."

He replied to Judy as they waited with the other guard.

"The cow first!"

Comes a cry from the wall.

"I'm a fucking Minotaur, you inbred prick."

Judy mutters as she wanders forward.
