Author's Notes:

Short but sweet........ kind of

This one was sudden for our group as we entered the infirmary. One of my off duty workers found this one left for dead and carried them to our base. In panic we got him to the infirmary as fast as we could and got him prepared for an immediate operation. I left the operating room and went to the worker who found the gelding and asked where she found him.

She said he was found on a dirt road nearby a small town and that there were wagon tracks next to him. I told my sister's to watch the gelding and make sure he lives as I gather my men and went to where he was found. We soon arrived and saw that there was indeed wagon tracks that led to a stop inside a nearby village. We marched into the village scaring the locals until we arrived at where the wagon was stopped.

There we saw a mare who was selling various trinkets from her wagon and looking to trade some items for a gelding. I had enough and walked up to the purchase, slapped the items out of her hoofs, and took the gelding for my organization. Tha mare looked at me angry and prepared to hit me only to receive a stab to the chest.

The towns ponies screamed and watched in horror as she fell to the ground in a puddle of her own blood. The other mare selling the gelding ran as fast as she could away from us as well as the town. We then left the town and returned to base to find out the first gelding survived the operation and has been returned to a stallion. I gave the doctors the young gelding we got and told them to set to work fixing him as well.
