Fire Runner

@@Pripyat Pony, Autumn chugged down the rest of her cider then turned to Diego. "Don't scare away the new ponies." She teased, nudging him slightly. She waved a hoof towards Lingo. @@Kolth, "Can I have another glass Lingo?" she called, flicking her tail back and forth. she had already polished off three glasses of cider, which was impressive for a pony of her size.

Unholy twitched an ear at the sound of North's voice then yawned. She got up, wiping the sleep from her eyes. Unholy trotted over to the group, clearly ready to leave this particular part of the jungle. Finally, we get to move forward... Autumn thought to herself.

Autumn turned around and flashed the pony a light smile. "You're in the Prancing Pony, the best pub in the known multiverse." Autumn said, flicking her mane out of her face. "My name's Autumn Dream, whats yours?" she asked, extending her hoof to the stranger.

@@Aqua Pura, Unholy sat down and pouted. "I blame you for this." she said, a little upset that Aqua had moved the stump without telling her. she curled up on the ground and fell asleep, she figured the night would go by faster if she slept through it. (OCC: I agree, I think we need to go ahead and do a time skip to next morning)

@@Aqua Pura, Unholy listened to the sound of Aqua's voice and followed it. She walked over. but walked a little too far and tripped over the stump that Aqua had just pulled over. "oh sweet Celestia! that hurt!" she screeched as she picked herself up, and began to brush the dirt off of her. "when did this stump get here?..." she grumbled, kicking the stump over.she squealed and and grabbed her back left hoof, hopping up and down in pain.

@@Aqua Pura, Unholy got up and flicked her short tail. "Aqua? where did you go?" Unholy called softly. Unholy walked around slowly, waiting for Aqua to reply to her. (OCC: sorry i've been gone, ive been studying like crazy for mid-terms so i haven't been able to get on. when i got on today, i found out that during the time i was studying, i had been on a 2-day ban, so i guess it wasn't a loss for me )

@, @@Aqua Pura, "Hmmm... that is indeed true. There has to be a reason why the princess sent us here, and I think its because of whatever is in the middle of this jungle." Unholy said, twitching her ear, she swore she heard something, but it sounded like it was really far off. she figured since non of the others heard the noise, they were fine. "What do you think Aqua?" Unholy asked, lowering her head from the direction of the sky and facing it towards Aqua.

@, @@Aqua Pura, "Personally... I actually can't wait to get out there in the middle of this jungle. From what already happened, I want to know what else is in store, I feel like its just another challenge for all of us to face, each challenge a surprise to us. It keeps us on our hooves, keeps us on edge, it gives us a stronger sense of adventure." Unholy said, raising her head toward the sky, she couldn't see anything, but she knew the jungle canopy was above them. "There is something I was told when I was a filly, Zecora told me, i don't remember it word for word, but she basically told me to go forth and adventure, I will never see until I "see" the world." She added with a chuckle. "So... is there any reason you two want to adventure further into the jungle?" she asked, bushing slightly because she had gotten side-tracked.

@, @@Aqua Pura, Unholy heard Aqua and Slicer talking, so she decided to leave Leaf and walk over to the other two ponies. "Uhhh... hello... mind if I join you guys?" Unholy asked, as she sat down between the two ponies. "so what are you two taking about." she asked, hoping she wasn't butting in to anything too secretive.

@, Unholy heard the movement of the sword. "Do you mind if i?" she asked as she placed one hoof on the handle of the swords. she saw something, a vision perhaps, but she didn't like it. she quickly drew her hoof back and the 'vision' stopped. "That sword has seen many battles... guard it well, trust nopony with it." she murmured to Leaf, as she tried to get the images out of her head. (OCC: ugh, this is my last post for tonight, I'll be back tomorrow.)

@, "Oh... um... I'm more of a listener then a talker. I was kind of hoping you'd start talking to me." She stammered. "So... you sound distracted... what were you just reading about?" Unholy asked as she touched Leaf's book that was laying in-front of her. she brought her hoof back then sat down next to Leaf.

@, Unholy got up and trotted over to Leaf. "Uh... hi. I noticed you're all alone here and it sounds like you need somepony to talk to." Unholy said, not sure if the pony even wanted to talk or not. I'm probably just annoying this pony. I doubt he even wants to talk to me... Unholy thought to herself.

Unholy slumped over and collapsed on the ground. everypony was talking to somepony else. I feel like such a burden to everypony else... she thought to herself before letting out a deep sigh. Why did I even come on this mission in the first place? she thought, sighing again.

Unholy went to join the other ponies, while doing so she tripped over a vine and landed flat on her face. She quickly got up and brushed herself off, hoping nopony saw her trip. She kicked the vine out of the way with frustration, then trotted over to the group. I sure hope nopony saw that.... She thought to herself.

Unholy flipped the blade back into a walking stick then collapsed it and put it back in her bag. "Is everypony okay?!" Unholy Sight called, stumbling in the general direction of everypony's voices. For some magical, unknown reason, Unholy managed to be completely unharmed.

Unholy listened carefully to the movement around her, she was attempting to find the direct location of the second stump (the one without a pony in it). Then, she heard it. She ran towards it, swinging her scythe. The scythe lodged into the stump, Unholy was secretly hoping that it would kill the stump-creature, but she had the assumption it wouldn't...

Unholy could smell blood and hear the other ponies in complete and utter panic. She wasn't really sure what to do, so she did the first thing she could think of... Unholy ran at a vine as fast as she could and at the last moment she pulled out a collapsible walking stick from her bag. she gave it a flick and a blade folded out, turning the ordinary walking stick into a scythe. She swung at one of the vines, hoping she would hit it and sever it.

Unholy carefully weaved through the thorns, she was use to it, so she made it look kind of easy. Unholy smelt blood ahead of her and behind her, she figured a few ponies were getting scratched and she wrote it off as nothing. Until she started to think about it... Blood... creatures can smell blood as well as I can... oh no! we're going to attract something not very pleasant... Unholy thought as she took another step forward.

@@Descant, Unholy continued walking by North, giving him a little more distance this time. "At least we haven't got close to the dangerous stuff yet... I don't need to be as cautious here..." Unholy murmured to herself as she walked along. (OCC: well, i'm hitting the hay. this is my last post for tonight)

Unholy decided to stay close to North. If anypony is surviving this place, it'll be him... she thought as she listened for the movement of ponies' hooves. Well... no turning back now... I guess all we can do now is move forward... Unholy Sight thought, flipping her mane out of her face. for some reason, her mane was not cooperating with her today.

@@Descant, Unholy stood there in silence, she listen closely to the conversation. She heard a noise coming form the jungle, and quickly turned her head in that direction. "You need to tell everypony to keep on their toes and watch their step, I can hear things coming from that jungle... and it doesn't sound good..." she whispered to North.

@@Descant, Unholy noticed his tone had changed and realized she had hit a touchy subject for the pony. "I... I'm sorry I asked that... at least you made it out alive, I don't know how well this group would fair without you leading us." she said in a hushed tone, making sure she chose her words more carefully this time.

@@Descant, Unholy jumped out of bed and grabbed her saddle bag then rushed after North. "So, is this your first time in this jungle?" she asked questioningly as she readjusted her saddle bag. This will be a knew experience, I just need to be careful of where I place my hooves... Unholy thought.

@@Descant, Unholy's ear twitched as North walked in, but she didn't wake up, she was having a dream, and she didn't want it to be spoiled. Unholy could see other ponies, she wasn't sure who the ponies were, but she assumed they were her companions for the journey. She saw a jungle up ahead, and suddenly she was in the jungle. she looked around, there were roots everywhere she stepped. She felt herself loosing her sight... That... was an interesting dream... Unholy thought sitting up. she wasn't sure if it was dark out or not, so she stayed in the bed.

@, "Thanks." Unholy said, snatching the bracelet from slicer and clipping it around her back left ankle. @@Descant, "Hey! North! we found it!" she called, as she trotted over to him. "If you need somepony to bunk with, I'll be in one of the rooms downstairs." Unholy said as she walked down to an empty bunk. she threw her saddle bag on the ground next to a bed and laid down. I'm glad I found it... my father would have been disappointed if I lost it... she thought before drifting asleep. (OCC: this is my last post for tonight.)
