Emerald looks to Joyride for guidance. He isn’t sure how he could be helpful in this situation. He checks how far in front of him Uictoria and his focus are. They are certainly with in dashing distance of him. But he isn’t sure if he could escape without a distraction.

“Sounds like the Order’s problem, not mine.” Joyride says with a shrug.
 
“I know you care for this child. Comply with our request, now.” Uictoria threatens.
 
Joyride sighs and says, “Taking children hostage? That greater good thing working out for you then?”
 
It’s clear to him that Joyride is trying to buy time. Emerald wonders if he should try to get away. He reaches slowly down for his knife, and then quickly swings it back up and into the hoof of Bellator.
 
More than anything Bellator probably pulled his foreleg away from shock. His knife barely managed to pierce a few centimeters because of the large pony’s thick glove and chainmail.
 
He sprints for Uictoria and with a jump wrenches his focus out of the unicorn’s grasp. He let’s himself tumble and land prone near a small shrub. Casting his shield spell on it, he gets a brief glimpse of a shocked Bellator and Praelia, Joyride casting some sort of large purple bolt. Oddly enough, Uicotria isn’t looking at Joyride, but instead giving him a piteous, dour look.
 
Soil and dust is thrown into the air. It’s so thick that Emerald can’t even see anything out of his shield.
