The next event of the Games was stealth. The competitors had to enter the lair of the demon-dragon king, steal a gem (the larger the higher the score), and get back to wolf territory without the dragon knowing it.
A messenger-falcon came racing into the clearing. He told the Master of Games the Dark Dragon had awakened, and wondered if they should postpone the Games.
At this remark, Wolfheart went up to the Master of Games, her dark head bowed in respect.
"Games Master, this Game can still go on. Merely have the dark-furred wolves (Ponies in my case) with a soft tread find a gem to bring back. I think this can still work."
"You speak with much wisdom, Pony. Thus, I bid the games go on."
Wolfheart trotted to the starting line, wondering if the cat pony would follow her to the dragon's den.
