Another battle, another draw. It only meant that Equestria was one step too far from taking back the Crystal Empire. Failing wasn’t an option anymore --- it was time to stretch their tactics & sneak through whatever cracks they could throughout the empire. Any information to help them would be enough, for now, to help give the right push to victory.
Tasked with taking one of the wings of the crystal castle, AJ stalked about the halls, using any shadow she could to her advantage. Her goal was to make her way to the very tyrant’s chambers & seek out any secret plans he may be keeping in there. At the sound of the doorknob clicking, she bolted to hide amongst his room & paced her breathing to be as quiet as possible. She hadn’t the faintest idea of why he was back so soon ( had her team failed in causing a distraction in the courtyard? ). Time was of the essence, she needed to plan accordingly on how to escape. She shuffled as quietly as she could from the under the bed & behind his view towards the door --- but as her luck would have it, she stepped just a tad too hard & heard a light echo of her hoof reverberate in the room.
Ears laid flat against her head as she was mentally panicked. Her body stood frozen & at the ready to make a run for it. If needed, she would fight her way out...
