Thinking quickly, Emerald makes his way back to Hope's tent. He empties the rucksack out and puts in the writing utensils, the money, and the small knife. After hoisting the rucksack on, the colt then takes the quill on the table and circles the town of Golden Oats, adding "We'll meet up here!"

Emerald then glances out the slit in the tent. There are armored ponies everywhere, and he creeps out slowly. Emerald Jewel gets the idea of hiding out in the ruins, perhaps possibly where he hid last time. The problem is that from the camp it's very obvious if anyone is heading the direction of the town.

Emerald crawls and keeps as low of a profile as possible and makes his way towards the town. However upon reaching the city's outskirts there is a harsh voice from behind that calls, "Wait you, stop!"

Emerald books it towards the ruins, and turns to look behind him to see two soldiers chasing him and one running back towards the base camp, probably to tell everyone that they saw him. Even with the full armor, the ponies are easily catching up to him. He needs to think of something quick.

Emerald finds the loosest pile of rubble he can and starts hopping up it. The armored ponies attempt to do the same, but between their size and weight the pile slips and sinks around them, slowing them down immensely. Emerald then finds a small hole in a broken, collapsed wall and hops in it, concealing himself. The Colt hears commotion around him, but no one seems to find his hiding spot. After a while, Emerald pokes his head out,and doesn't see anybody.

Is it safe now?
