Adora, Glimmer, Bow and i walk through the Woods.

Adora comments,
"I still can't believe Entrapta's working for the Horde."

She starts naking assumptions, "Shadow Weaver messed with her mind. She must have. Right?"

"I don't know. She seemed normal when we talked to her. Entrapta-normal, but still, she wants to be with the Horde." Glimmer explains.

"They do have better tech than us. But we have magic on our side." she stays optimistic.

"Magic and tech aren't totally separate things. Entrapta's one of the only people who really understands that." i say.

"She got closer to combining them than anyone else. And...now she's with the Horde." Bow says tje next part sadly.

Adora and Glimmer turn to look at Bow.

"Well, who needs Entrapta? You've got Bow, tech master and premier member of the Etherian Maker Community."

The arrow Bow is holding catches on fire, and smoke billows from it.

"Ah. " he clears his throat.

"Yeah, uh, meant to do that."

Above us we hear Swift Wind neighing.

"Ahoy! Ha ha, be there in a sec."

He lands next to me and Adora.

Swift Wind starts talking again,
"Comrades! I spotted buildings ahead, the outpost is close."

Glimmer clenches her fists.

"Entrapta made her decision. We can't change that. But we can focus on our mission and help all our people. We lost all contact with the farming outpost of Alwyn a week ago. The Horde hasn't been reported in the area, but we can't be too careful."

Adora scoffs.

"They're definitely involved. They always are."

"We can handle the Horde. I don't care if they do have Entrapta's inventions, they're no match for us! We'll handle this the way we always do." Glimmer confidently states.

Adora asks,
"Brute Strength?"

Swift Wind butts in,
"Almost dying?"

"Sacrificing yourself?" I add.

"No, no and no! By sticking together, and never giving up."

Bow cheers happily,
"Yeah! Best Friend Quint to the rescue!"

All of us turn to look at Bow.

"Because there's five of us?"

We frown at Bow.

Bow turns around,
"Okay, taking that one off the list."

We all continue walking. Adora turns around, and looks at the trees blowing in the wind and she frowns.


Adora, Gimmer, Bow, Swift Wind and I walk through the Woods.

"Uh, hello? I thought you should know, I'm sensing something weird the closer we get to the outpost." Swift Wind informs us.

"Weird? Like what?" Adora asks as she grabs my hand.

"I can't describe it, just...weird. What is this place?"

Glimmer changes the subject,
"Alwyn is the Rebellion's biggest supplier of—uh, well, supplies. It's basically one big orchard. One big, happy—incredibly creepy orchard."

Swift Wind bites an apple, and we turn to look at him.

Swift Wind, with mouth full, states at us and speaks,
"What? Creepy apples taste as good as normal apples."
