Bone Cold: “I hope this answers both of your questions.”
Bone Cold: “A dragon? Probably not. They’re too clumsy and stupid, as Pearl Jinx said. It’s something stealthier…
Moonbeam. You’re the most powerful watcher I have. I command you to go find out what has been disrupting the communication, and to give me more intelligence on Candlelight’s location. I need you to do this quickly. Can you do that?”
Moonbeam: “455-8U9: Mission Accepted. Will return shortly.”
Bone Cold: “But what could it possibly be? Does Candlelight have an ally following her, that is powerful enough to disconnect my watchers with such speed? …We need to switch tactics. If nothing is done, we are blind to their movements.”
We take this moment to switch perspectives! now, we are in the ‘lair’ of Bone Cold and her Council of witches. They have received news that watchers, robotic ponies that send messages to the Head Watch (The pony in the first three panels), have been dropping off the radar.
These watchers were being used to track Candlelight and Pumpkin Patch, and follow every move they make. Without them, the Council and Bone Cold can’t asses their movements, and thus, are blind to their actions. Bone Cold is convinced that something is going around and manually disconnecting the watchers.
You may ask Bone Cold or the Council anything now! But, some questions might not be answered due to spoilers!
