Emerald checks on his supply of potions. He really wish he had somewhere to put them that was easier to grab. The best he can do is remove his bandanna and tie a few to his leg.
"W-whoa! Losing control!" Emerald hears Joyride say. He is about to look up at her but then the cart rocks violently. Emerald holds on for dear life, but then sees the grinning look on Joyride's face.
"Heh. Got ya."
He puffs his cheeks out the unicorn, Joyride gives a snicker of laughter, and Ruby rolls her eyes. The guides seem to just take it in their stride though.
They reach the bottom, and Nishan tells them to be as quiet as they can and do their best to stay under the cover of the canopy as they approach. When they get close enough Joyride puts a hoof on Emerald and says,
"I'll take him this way a bit for his distraction. When I get back we'll go in."
Emerald and Joyride creep a few minutes away. Joyride puts a hoof in front of Emerald to stop him, and then the colt feels something warm ooze onto his head. He puts a hoof up to it.
it's sticky and white.
He glares at the unicorn again.
"Hey, it could help wiht the distraction you know. They might be able to smell the seed on you. Maybe. Do wasps have noses?"
Emerald asks exactly what the plan is supposed to be.
"You gotta pull as many wasps as you can away from the hive. I don't care what you do just go and do it. Loupe tells me that at most there will be 500 wasps in a hive like that, and a lot of them will be out gathering. So if you get a solid group of them it'll help." Joyride then pulls out a familiar looking ring from her mantle and says, "And hey, if you want to distract a little longer, you can always use this baby."
What does Emerald do?
