Almost done with his work, Everlast, made a few last notes and inspected his subjects one last time before he would release them. On the ground before him were a pair of diamond dogs trapped in the same way Bliss, Hurricane, and himself were. He had found them a short distance away from where the crown had fallen, and saw a perfect opportunity to get a glimpse into the magic the card clasher wields.
He had finished studying the magic within the cards, and now knew how to deactivate them, leaving the cards intact and reusable. What a trick that would be, using his own cards against him.
He finished, and picked up four cards, two with pictures of chains, and two of ice. He quickly picked up the cards and stuck them between the pages of his book, and left the diamond dogs lying there, escaping back to the camp before they recovered enough to take him captive in return.
Everlast hardly even noticed the new pony approaching the group.
