Honour looked behind her at Glamerspear, who had been apprehensive about once again meeting the batpony sorcerer, Ignacio Blazon. The existence of nocturnal bat-winged ponies was something of an open secret among the guards in Canterlot Palace, with the infamous Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell rule only leading to an abundance of rumors and speculation. But most of those same rumors -- besides idiotic 'shoe ideas about blood-sucking supernatural creatures -- speculated that the batponies were little more than just pegasi of the night. The idea that any of them had any kind of actual sorcerous powers was a real shock, and of Honour’s group, nopony had been more shocked to find out than the chief rumor-monger herself, Specialist Glamerspear.
