Joyride starts to lead Emerald through the east streets, which are starting to become more familiar to him. They pass the plaza with the fountain and then go out the huge gate and turn south, walking for an hour or two and getting to the start of a treeline. Emerald has heard that these woods are full of monsters or something. He is pretty sure that Joyride was the one who told him about it, in fact.
 
Emerald asks if Joy has something he can protect himself with since he doesn’t have his focus or any magic yet.
 
“You got that Knife of Subtlety right? That should be more than enough.” Joyride says unconcerned, “I’m more than strong enough to handle anything outside the cave, and once we get in we have to be careful not to cause too much of a ruckus and destroy our prize. I want as many of those mushrooms as I can get.”
 
Emerald, pushes harder on the defense talk, asking if he is just going to be lookout.
 
“Jeez, you really are worrying about this more than you need too, lil’ perv. Relax! This is supposed to be a fun adventure.” Joyride says throwing up a hoof.
 
Emerald still isn’t convinced, but he continues walking until they reach the cave that Joyride was talking about nestled against a cliff side and surrounded by trees. It’s about a head taller than the unicorn, and seems to go back until all Emerald can see is darkness.
 
Joyride steps forward, and as Emerald does the same he clangs his hoof into something and looks down.
 
They appear to have stepped into the remnants of a campsite. There is a copper pot here standing over the remains of a firepit. There are some dirty, soaked sheets as well as one or two torn napsacks. There looks like there was a scuffle.
 
Joyride has already made it to the cave, and after alighting her horn, begins to looks inside.
 
“Alright Emerald. You ready for adventure?”
