The next day

Cadence, Mothball and I stared at the problem presented to us with neutral expressions. Said problem happened to be a huge bottomless gorge in the middle of the path we had taken.

"How deep do you think it is?" Asked Mothball as he looked over the edge. I picked up a small rock and dropped it into the abyss...there was no sound of it hitting the ground.

"Well, that's not a good sign." I looked to Mothball and Cadence who both had wings. "You two fly over, I'll find another way around and catch up to you."

"You sure boss?" I nodded and he buzzed his little bug wings, taking flight and landing on the other side of the gorge.

I looked to Cadence who was looking really nervous about something. "You alright Candy?" She shook her head.

"I'm...not really a strong flyer." My left eye twitched slightly as I facepalmed. I rubbed my temples as I tried to think of a way around this.

"Fuck it." I lifted cadence and held her like a javelin. "Mothball, get ready to catch her!" She tried to protest but I began walking back, I then ran forwards and straight up threw Candy over the bottomless pit. She screamed as she flew swiftly over the ravine and into Mothys hooves.

"Are you crazy?!" I shrugged and began walking along the edge.

"You two go on ahead, I'll find another way over." Mothball nodded and he put Candy on his back and began walking away. "Ok, this thing has to stop somewhere."

"HOW LONG IS THIS FUCKING THING?!?!" I had been running for about a full hour now, and the gorge showed no signs of stopping. Looking at the opposite side of the gorge and to my knives I sighed. "Again...Fuck it." I grabbed two of my knives and held one in each hand. I took a running start and jumped into the gorge. I quickly approached the opposite wall of the gorge and drove my knives into the stone. Sliding down a little before stopping, I hung there tightly holding onto my knives. "I've made a terrible mistake."

Three hours later

I finally pushed my torso up to the surface and stood on the green grass, the sweet, sweet grass that grew on flat ground. I threw my tired arms up in victory before collapsing and falling backwards into the gorge again. "FFFFFFFFUUUUUU-!!!!!!!"

Yet another three hours later

Once I managed to climb the gorge walls again I immediately distanced myself from the edge and lay on the ground. "I am...so...getting...paid...extra...for this...shit." After catching my breath and resting my arms I got up and started walking towards a crystal field that Mothball and Candy had walked in the direction of. It was a few miles away so I had to keep a quick pace if I wanted to get there by nightfall.

About fourth minutes later I reached the entrance to the large fields of tall multicoloured crystals. These things were randomly showing up here and there, and for some reason could only be broken by a pony or other creature that was blessed by an alicorn. I had received this blessing from Celestia a few months back as I usually used the crystals on my missions. There was actually a lot to using the crystals, but after your first few tries you can use them effortlessly.

As I walked further into the fields I felt like I was being watched by someone. When you're in my line of work your senses kind of need to be heightened, so you learn to know when a possible hostile is in the area. Looking around I spotted a tip of a pony ear sticking out from behind a large black crystal. "Hey! I see you up there!" I heard a feminine laugh and the pony in question revealed herself. She was a dark grey Thestral with a slick dark purple mane, of course there was the bat wings and golden piercing eyes.

"What gave it away?" Her voice was like a woman's in her late twenties, except it was filled with a bit of sultry and was very smooth.

"The tip of your ear was exposed." I explained. She facehoofed and blushed.

"To be fair, if you weren't so sharp you would have never sensed I was here." I rolled my eyes and she flew down to me.

"So, why are you spying on me? You from some other mercenary group?" I slipped a hand behind myself and held The Lancelot, just in case.

"I was, but then the group started becoming all about the murders and cash and not about the adventures and our bonds. Not to mention that all of the other members were males, treated me like a common whore." Her face took a stern expression before calming down again. "Then I saw a news article about a certain mercenary group, Lone Wolf Mercenary Services, their slogan being 'freindliest group of mercenaries you'll ever meet.' So I thought I'd scope you guys out and see if you're worth joining, and I will say that I have grown to like you lot." She said with a soft smile. I detected no trace of a lie or possible scheme in her voice.

"So you're looking to join Lone Wolf?" She nodded.

"I do have one question though. If you are a group that works together, why call yourselves Lone Wolf?" I smiled and looked to the sky.

"We chose that name because it signifies what our lives were like before the group, we were all lone wolves that left their packs. We found each other and made our own pack. Plus I think it sounds cool." She giggled before walking to my side.

"So, any openings?" She asked hope in her voice.

"Anyone is free to join at anytime, I'll need to know your name first." She smiled and put a hoof to her chest.

"My name is Moonlight Whisper, at your service...boss." I smirked and we began walking side by side until we reached a small cave that Mothball and Candy had set up camp in. "Come on, I'll introduce you to Mothball."
