>This is bad.
>This is REALLY bad.
>If Luna can think of anything else worse to happen right now, let it.
>Because there isn't a thing worse than someone of the Royal Guard finding out you're stowing away in your father's home.
>In Hollow Shades, where you have been banished from.
>How on Equestria could you be so stupid?!
>This is ridiculous! What a foolish idea to search for Anon!
>And what a foolish human he is to come here!
>Did he expect answers?
>To what questions?
>You and your father didn't even get enough time to chat, and now you're gonna be taken away from him forever!
>Distractions, distractions...
>Time to focus on what's at hand.
>You can hardly take a glance at the mare in front of you.
>The guard looks you up and down.
>She paces the room a bit, waiting for somep0ny to say something.
>When she gets impatient, she makes the first move.
>”Who's this we have here then?”

>That guard from earlier is standing in front of Echo.
>What does she want?
>Her focus is on your friend right now, but she seemed to follow you back here.
>Why else would she just happen to show up at the only house in Hollow Shades that holds a human?
>And...
>Could she know what your plan is?
>”E-Echo, ma'am.”
>Your friend shuffles around on the floor, not daring to look the guard in the eye.
>The armoured pony scrapes her chin, smiling deviantly.
>”You're the one who tried to yank the Chronicle, aren't you?”
>Echo nods.
>”And the one who was subsequently banished from Hollow Shades, aren't you?”
>The gray pony turns a shade whiter.
>”And you're the one who I could send to Luna herself, find out what kind of punishment awaits you from our Princess Of Night, aren't you?”
>She's backed up completely into the corner
>Lets out a little squeal too.
>The Chronicle, huh.
>It's kind of silly to think about.
>It's also a betrayal to your friend.
>If all she got was a banishment...
>What will happen to you?
>You are an outsider after all.
>A somewhat welcome stranger, but stranger nonetheless.
>This guard seems to be playing upon that fact.
>”Anon, why are you here, and more importantly, what the hay are you?”
>You wipe beads of sweat from your forehead.
“I'm, a, erm-”
>”Spit it out already!”
>Pushy.
“A human.”
>”A what now?”
>If you had a bit for every time this happened...
“Just- think of me as a tall monkey. Without all the hair.”
>”But there's some on your head.”
>You pinch the bridge of your nose.
“I'm well aware of that.”
>”But you said-”
“I thought you'd figure that there's still hair there.”
>She snickers to herself.
>”I was just messing you around.”
>It's taking a lot of effort not to flip your shit.
“And what's your name, guard?”
>”That's none of your business.”
“I could say the same about my species.”
>She grumbles.
>”Fine. It's Quiet Dawn.”
>Her attention is drawn back to your friend.
>A smile plays upon the guard's face.
>She's plotting something.
>”So, Echo.”
>”Y-yes?”
>She flashes a grin.
>”Put these on.”
>Quiet points to the rags Echo was wearing.
>”Now, you'll have to keep your mouth shut. Some ponies might recognise you.”
“What's going on?”
>”You and your friend here are coming with me.”
>A frail voice perks up.
>”And what part do I play?”
>She turns to him.
>”A very important part indeed.”
>His eyes widen with wonder.
>”You get to stay here.”
>Ample Dusk deflates.
“Won't it look odd having some tall creature and a cloaked p0ny walking around?”
>She scrapes her chin.
>”Well. You may have a point there.”
>Her hoof goes up, as if a lightbulb were above her head.
>”It doesn't matter though, nopony questions the authority of a guard!”
>Somehow, you doubt that.
>Doesn't seem bright for one of Luna's “best”, this one.
>Echo stops twitching for a moment to say something.
>”Where are you t-taking us anyway?”
>Mischief dances on the guard's face.
>”You'll see.”

>Outside in Hollow Shades, the three of you are back off to the catacomb.
>You've attracted stares from stallions and mares all around.
>This wasn't the plan that Quiet had laid out.
>What was supposed to happen was that you'd all slip around the crowd, keeping to buildings.
>The princess of the night had picked the wrong night however, and you had all been swept with the oodles of batponies from the sidelines.
>Now you're in the middle of the square, an odd 3 indeed.
>Echo, not having said anything the entire journey, almost looks as if she's shrunk a few inches.
>The princess' regal voice can be heard all around the town.
>”We request to see our guard!”
>Quiet Dawn tenses up.
>”Oh boy. Come on, we need to hurry.”
>The guard quickens her step.
>You and your friend follow suit.
>In the distance, the princess yells again.
>”Hmm! It would appear we are missing a guard! Where is Quiet Dawn?!”
>The guard mutters something to herself.
>There's a loud squeal from the huge crowd as your small crew nears the resting place of the Chronicle.
>Echo begins to hyperventilate.
>”I THINK I SAW HER WITH SOME BIG THING HEADING THAT-A-WAY!”
>The guard's anger is heated now.
>”Dammit, Jasmine!”
>Echo turns, remembering the name.
>You quietly call out to the mare.
“Echo, we have no time, come on!”
>As the three of you stand in front of the entrance, a huge whoosh from behind blows you forward.
>”Ah yes, hello fair Quiet Dawn! It has been quite some time since we last met!”
>The now petrified batpony turns in a shameful manner and bows.
>Next to her, your friend simply trembles at the voice of 
>”Y-yes it has, Princess.”
>”Can we enquire what thou was doing near the Chronicle?”
>Quiet's eyes shrink, wondering what her punishment will be.
>You speak up in a flash, saving all your asses.
“Me and my traveller friend here were being shown the entrance to the thing your subjects revere most.”
>The princess turns to you.
>”What is this, Quiet Dawn?”
>The guard extravagantly reveals you.
>”This is Anon. He is a human!”
>Luna look puzzled.
>”What is... human?”
“Tall monkey that doesn't have as much hair as regular ones.”
>”And it talks too! This is delightful!”
>Luna smiles with a childish joy.
>The face you wear right now doesn't share her joy.
>”Of course! Our Chronicle is of most wonder, even I do not know how its creation came!”
>Echo still hasn't turned.
>The princess looks at her, wrapped in tan.
>”Traveller, what is your name?!”
>Finally she turns.
>”Princess, it is...”
>You turn to her, slitted eyes begging her not to reveal.
>”Reflect.”
>Still hiding her face, Echo's eyes dot around.
>”We do not believe we have had the pleasure of your acquaintance before. Welcome to Hollow Shades, robed one.”
>One of pegasi guards accompanying Luna whisper into her ear.
>You hadn't even noticed they were there til they moved.
>”Now, friends, we must depart, royal business. We must do this again some time!”
>The three ponies take off.
>Quiet Dawn slumps against a nearby wall.
>”Well, that was close.”
