Timber Crash turned his head up to gaze at Luna as she took to the air, and cantered quickly after her.<em>Surely somepony as old and wise as Princess Luna will be able to fix this,</em>he thought as he ran.<em>And I'll be able to help!</em><br/><br/>He waved to Dusk as they arrived back on the scene, trying to remain cheerful despite the gravity of recent events. He trotted along behind Dusk and Luna, swinging his head from side to side as he walked, paying close attention to the scenery.<br/><br/>"This isn't right," he muttered as they reached the devastated grove, eyeing the dead trees. "I was up here just a fortnight ago, and everything was fine. These trees... look at the branches where they meet the trunks. See how they look shrunken. These trees have been dead for years... but they can't have been. I don't like this one bit." He kept his attention on Princess Luna, and altered his pace to trot alongside Heavy Hoof. His eyes kept drifting to the tree mark on his flank as he walked.
