It's working! [Hermes delighted in his progress when the Queen finally started to rise. If the other flutter ponies had been here she wouldn't have been able to resist their gale at all. Keeping up the pace, Hermes looked for a key or something that could be used to break open the cage. Therein rested the real problem.]
[Maybe that spear one of the guards dropped could wedge it open. As seem as he deemed himself able, Hermes altered his position and dived for the spear, snatching it up in his teeth. Moving over to the cage, he landed and sat up on his back legs, then used the front ones to jam the spear in between the cage door and the rest of the cell. He tried pushing it but it wasn't budging.]
