Twilight was determined to get to the source of the blast, in her mind, the fate of Equestria rested upon it. She was so sure of this theory that she took off into the forest without a moment of hesitation, away from the safety of the group and into the rugged wilderness. After several minutes of running as fast as her legs could carry her, Twilight paused to catch her breath and found that she was now lost in the darkest corner of the Ever-Free forest. Being an intellectual, Twilight closed her eyes and began planning a way out of the dark that now surrounded her. Alright, she thought to herself, how to get out. Maybe I can find some clues to tell me exactly how far I've come. She opened her eyes and began taking in information. Directly in front of her, the path stopped and gave way to an area heavily shaded by Timberwood trees that twisted the sun over several thorny bushes that lay not five steps from her. Upon closer inspection, she saw that trails of bright green light were holding these bushes together. Okay, definitely time to go now. She immediately realized the danger of her situation. She turned slowly to go back and found herself staring into the glowing yellow eyes of a growling beast. It stood on four legs that were made of a very light colored wood. The rest of the body was the same material, save a few leaves that stuck out here and there where the wood twisted around the green energy that held it together. Its growl sounded like the snapping of fire wood, and Twilight could here movement accompanied by more of the same noise behind her. Several things happened in the blink of an eye. The timber wolf snapped at her with a mouthful of rotten woodchips. Driven by fear, Twilight had no problem dodging the attack . She ran right past the newly awakened wolves. Looks of anger and hunger flashed by her as she sped off. A timber wolf rammed into her with its shoulder in an attempt to knock her off balance. Twilight fell to the ground, feeling like she had no other options but to sit and wait for the group to close in on her and take a mighty chomp. But no, destiny had other plans for Twilight. Out of nowhere, three streaks of light flew over Twilight and hit the Timberwolves. One pink stream of light hit the leader of the pack, making fall into a pile of broken twigs. One blue stream simply bull-rushed one. And the green one twisted into a tornado, sucked up the remaining timberwolves, and crushed them to bits. As Twilight watched in awe, she thought to herself What kind of magic is this? I've never witnessed anything like this in all my teachings! Then the three streams stopped moving to reveal three figures.
