Ask The Outlander

The hooded pony looked up towards his guest again with his eyebrows slightly raised and his smile slightly wider. "Like I said, you ponies are most interesting creatures. As to your offer I must decline, i am whole devoted to another. Though I appreciate the offer." He looks back at the fire obviously amused.

The hooded pony and his visitor are sitting next to a burning camp fire in the dead of night, surrounded by thick woodland. When the visitor asked the question, the hooded pony raised his grey eyes from the fire to the other pony, smiling slightly. "I imagine this question comes up fairly regularly in conversation. Considering that most Equestrians experienced the crisis first hoof. To answer your question, he didn't come for my magic. You see I am not from this land and he was already defeated for sometime when I arrived." He said with a friendly tone

The hooded pony then lowered his eyes to fire again, the smile gone from his face. "Though I have experienced the memories of somepony who had the misfortune of being in Canterlot when it fell to Tirek. The whole ordeal was truly terrifying for the average pony. The pony to whom the memories belonged to tried to flee with a group of other. They failed, the whole group and himself had their magic forcefully ripped from their bodies in a single instance when they tried to cross a street."
