The colt got surprised when the guard stepped in front of him
"I'm Luka Stormshield, 14, arrived here a day ago from a village to the west at 3-days-of-travel, Crusader."
He paused for a while, then continued
"The place got overrun by Dark Forces....I think they were, they got a mine with Shimmerite, was told to come and warn about it"

Western Gate
2 ponies approach the town, they're barely visible, but when they're near, it's noticeable they're wearing black armor, and have swords....emiting some sort of dark purple aura, the helmets cover their entire head and they're unidentifiable.
Edit:((sorry, bad english and though gate and door were the same))
