                The Earth Pony Vigilant, Lady Gala Apple, had been away with Luna and the entire First Battalion during the invasion. They had gone off on a little wild goose chase searching for some invasion staging point in the badlands. The other, the Unicorn Vigilant, Lady Fer De Lance, had been away investigating a ruin in the northern wastes. Meanwhile, a team of my best fliers had drawn away the Pegasus Vigilant, Lord Snowy Snow, and his Skyborn Knights (He is Snowy Snow son of Frosty Frost the Frosty. His family isn't known for their creativity.). In essence, they were a non-entity in my invasion plan.
