It's About Time, part 2.5: Journey to Tartarus
As the three humans, one Hyrulian, one unicorn, and one demon-dog press forward, the character of the woods around them changes. The undergrowth gets denser, the canopy above lets in less light, and the flora in general is much more... exotic than what one usually sees in the woods by the lake.

With a wave, she adds, "Goodbye, Cerberus. I'm glad we could help you find your way home."

"..thanks for escorting us the rest of the way."
That was directed more so at the sheepguards. Soldiers.

"Roight, Bruce," says the tenor-voiced sheep. "We had a dilly of a time keepin' the gates shut while he was gone, lemmie tell ya..."

"No more biting Mandrakes okay? Take care big guy!" she commands.

Twilight giggles a little to herself. "C'mon, guys. Let's go home."
