Thinking back on it now, Emerald wishes he had asked Venator about the cuffs. Being able to stop magic users seems like a useful thing, plus maybe it has something to do with his pendant? Maybe not…
 

 
Emerald just explains that he was escaping awful people, and reluctantly, shows them the ring his step mother put on him.
 
The mare gasps in shock, but Venator says, “Hmm… And who put this on you?”
 
Emerald says it was his parents, who he was trying to escape. Venator asks him where his parents are, and what they had to do with going through a cave to escape them. Emerald doesn’t say anything else however, despite taking another slap from Venator. He doesn’t want to be carted back up to the castle.
 
Venator growled in frustration.
 
“Fine. If you will not speak now I will try again later. Just to let you know child. I have many ways of making people speak. Alarcris!” He yells suddenly. The mare stands at attention and then the Stallion continues, “We leave for the city now. We have work to do.”
 
Alarcris starts to scramble to clean up the campsite, only stopping to hand what’s left of the breakfast over to both Emerald and Venator, who eats it thankfully.
