Rapunzel, Pascal and Maximus had ridden along in mostly silence. It had been a long time since Rapunzel had felt like singing, and there wasn't much to say. Occasionally, she would as her friends how they were feeling, but receiving no complaints, those conversations didn't go too far.
Before too long the city was in sight, and Rapunzel set up camp on the edge of the forest. While she was here she may as well stay a while and plan out her next target.
She looked down at the city, and noticed a commotion at the gate. A carriage drawn by four massive black horses was causing quite the stir. A lone rider, a girl with fiery read hair, was on a separate horse, and apparently connected to those inside the carriage. The girl looked up suddenly, and Rapunzel was spotted. She ducked behind a bush , and waited for her heart to slow.
When she looked up again, the new arrivals had had gained their admittance to the city and the girl was gone.
