The smart one is here. Will at least one of them - the enthusiast grow a pair and start doing something the moment they enter?
So far one was staring at the wall and the other was staring at the rope. Don't you think they could do little bit more within 3k words?
If you are going to make introduction for each of the Eight you could skip some of their extensive thinking in favor of showing them already within certain situation and add some snipets of thought here to show who they are.

Next chapter, the colt rolled really high and really low on several encounters. 👍👍 Stuff will happen. I promise.

Thank you for reading!

That could get tricky. Seriously. Like, if I haven’t weened, how might one stealthily suckle a wet-nurse? Just do a hit-and-run: sneak in, grab a mouthful, and getaway before anypony gets wise?

The image that this generates in my mind is quite comical, good humor.

Also, do you plan on introducing all 8 of the characters, or just focus on 1? I hope you just focus on 1, as doing all 8 will certainly be difficult. Looking forward to more!

They will all show up in some form. The colt will have a few obstacles to overcome before he can search or leave clues.

Surviving as a youngster is a challenge.

. Maybe it won'd be as bad as that? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst...

Harmony, this I promise you, if you're real: there will be no wars in this world on my account. None. I won'd let it.

I would say *won’t but I’m honestly not sure if this is intentional or not.

Horses and ponies where I was before were borne able to walk, so my mobility doesn't reveal much for my age.

*born

Thinking of them a super weapons isn't much of a stretch, I don't think.

of them *as

Those are all of the mistakes I saw or noticed whilst reading this, either way I enjoyed this chapter/half chapter.

Thank you. Not sure how that “won’d” snuck by more than once. Darn that “d” key.
