SummerHaven

Mass __________

@Scare Effect “Thanks.” Summer blushed in embarrassment as Scare freed her from the net trap. “Hopefully we won’t run into any more of those. And by we I mean me. If there is more out there I’m sure I will find them.” Summer laughed it off as she jumped down from the tree. Summer pulled out the map and spread it out on the ground for both of them to see. While the mares were reading the map, Chester suddenly started squaking frantically and circling around above them. ”Oh no. He only does that when he spots something dangerous. We best get out of this area quickly.”

Hugs for everyone! Including adorable fluttershy gif!

@Scare Effect As Summer was walking, she got the feeling they were being watched, but had no idea where it could be coming from. “I wonder how far-“ Summer was cut off as she went flying upwards into the treetops. The next thing she knew she was on her back in a netted trap hanging from a tree. A startled squeak escaped from her mouth at what had just happened. All she could see was an upside down view of Scare down below, who had just barely managed to escape the range of the net trap. ”Not gonna lie,” she said as she squirmed in the net to flip back onto her belly. “I did NOT see that coming.”

Of course I would! Both of them.

@Scare Effect “Oh sure thing.” Summer said as she pulled out the map. After studying the map for a few seconds she she took a couple steps forward. ”It looks like if we follow this path, we should come across a small lake. That’s how we will know if we’re going the right way.” She said as she begin embarking into the trees. A pair of gleaming eyes watched intently as the duo made their way into the forest.

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg “I’d say we just leave him. We don’t really have the luxury of time right now if we are going to catch the train. But defiantly take his dagger so he can’t use it.” Summer tied a bandage around her injured leg and collected her things.

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg Summer heard Mike’s shout and turned around in time to see the bandit before he swung his dagger. The bandit paused to see where the voice was coming from. In that brief moment, Summer was able to tackle the pony into the snowbank catching him off guard. “Mike! You didn’t have to come after me! But I’m sure glad you did.” She said as he came charging over. The bandit looked up helplessly as Mike drew in closer with his sword in hand.

@Scare Effect “Oh yes! I forgot to introduce you to my little travel buddy.” Summer open the flap of her side bag and a chubby bird burst out. It flew up and landed on Summer’s horn. “This is Chester. He’s my pet kookaburra.” She said smiling. The bird squawked loudly and pruned it’s feathers a bit. “Ugh you’ve got to quit doing that...it draws to much attention. Summer said to the bird. ”Anyways.” Summer said as she snapped her bag shut. “We are ready to go when you are.”

@Scare Effect “Right. I’ll just grab the essentials. I’ll meet you back out here in a few minutes.” The green unicorn trotted into the general store, hoping the occupants would be friendlier than the ones at the tavern. Summer wandered the one of the isles to stock up on medical supplies. As she started collecting her items, she couldn’t help but overhear two ponies on the next isle over. “I’m telling you it was the strangest thing! One minute my crops were in perfect bloom and the next they were all wilted and dying!” Said gruff voice. ”Yea right man! You expect me to believe that? You just don’t want to admit that I’m a better farmer than you!” The second pony laughed at her friend. Thats odd. Summer thought. Surely the two events aren’t related right? She gathered her things and went to the counter to check out. She then went back outside to wait for Scare. As she waited, she opened her right saddle pouch and tossed in some food she had bought at the store. “There ya go little buddy.” She said smiling.

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg Summer ended up landing in a huge pile of snow, which was probably what had saved her from braking any bones. Her foreleg was throbbing; Summer figured she had probably landed on it. She tried to stand up and a jolt of pain was sent through her leg. She looked around and saw the back of the train speeding off past where she had landed. As the unicorn scanned the area she realized her saddlebag had been tossed a few feet away. “Snickers!” She immediately ran over the where the saddlebag had landed, all the while completely ignoring the pain in her leg. The squirrel seemed to be alright though, he was shivering. “You poor thing. I’m so sorry.” Summer was preoccupied and didn’t notice that one of the bandits she had previously tossed off the train was sneaking up behind her.

@Scare Effect “That sounds great! It gets so boring traveling by myself.” Summer hopped down from the chair and followed her new friend outside. Once outside, Summer pulled out her map and floated it in front of her face. “It looks like we need to follow the trail that leads straight though this town. But I would like to stock up on supplies first if you don’t mind.”

@Pr0m4NV14 @Battenberg Summer felt the bandit knocked off of her and scrabbled to her feet. There where way more ponies than she initially thought, and she was quite overwhelmed. She grabbed a few bandits with her levitation and tossed them over the side of the train. Suddenly she piercing blow in her side as one of the enemies gave her a strong solid kick. Summer was knocked completely off balance and stumbled over to the edge of the car. Another one of the bandits seized her opportunity and headbutted Summer, causing her to fly off the the side of the train. She squeaked in pain as she fell into the snowbank below. * * *

@Scare Effect “You must have some interesting stories then!” Summer said happily. The bartender raised an eyebrow at the two ponies. Summer tucked the book back into her side bag. ”Oh, I’m Summer Haven. But you can just call me Summer of course.” She said, finishing up her drink.

@Battenberg @Pr0m4NV14 “As far as we know-“ Summer was cut off by the weight of a bandit pony crashed down on top of her. Summer struggled to try to get up, but the bandit held her down firmly with his hoof. ”Mike...use this!” Summer tried to shout but her voice came out weak. “She used her magic to roll the syringe over to his feet. “It’s still got some anesthesia left in it!”

@Scare Effect “Well...” Summer said rooting through her side bag. She pulled out a book and flipped through the pages until she found what she was looking for. She slid the book over for the mare to see. “There is this story about a powerful mage that supposedly lives somewhere in this forest, in somewhat of a hidden sanctuary.” Summer’s eyes lit up as she spoke of it. “The story says that if anypony is able to find her, she will share some of power with them, which would be incredibly useful! I guess it’s somewhat of an urban legend. But the thougt of it intrigued me enough to come check it out for myself.” Summer took a sip of her drink, fully expecting the pony to think she was insane for attempting such an endeavor.

@Scare Effect “That’s pretty cool!” Summer said enthusiastically. “Are you here for work or for fun?” She sipped her drink as the griffin motioned for a tip. She sighed and gave him a couple bits. “I could tell you what I’m looking for here, but you’d probably think I’m crazy.” She said with a weak laugh.

@Battenberg (Did you miss my last post?) @Pr0m4NV14 “I’ve got an idea. I just need you to buy me a bit of time!” Summer said as she started rummaging through her saddlebag. As Victoria battled the bandit, Summer mixed together a syrum from the medicines she had in her bag. Suddenly the bandit leader stopped dead in his tracks. His knees buckled and he tumbled to the floor of the car, revealing a small syringe floating behind him. “That will only keep him out for about 10 minutes.” Summer shouted over the wind in the tunnel. “But it should give us time to figure out what to do with him.”

4 here! France, Spain, Italy, and US (where I live)

@Scare Effect “Oh I’m just looking for...uh... something.” Summer said nervously as she shoved the rolled up map further into her side bag. Summer sat down while she waited for her order. “I suppose it’s rather obvious that I’m not from around here huh?” Summer noticed the gleam of the badge. “Are you...an officer?”

@Scare Effect The loud commotion startled Summer, and she turned around to see what was going on. She saw a grey mare defending herself from a bunch of angry griffons. Summer slowly backed up trying not to draw attention. She backed into a chair which made a loud screeching noise against the floor. This, to her displeasure, drew the attention of several ponies around her including the bartender, who also happened to be a griffin. ”Are you gonna buy something or keep standing around being useless?” The bartender squawked at Summer. ”Yes, sorry.” Summer said fumbling for the menu. Her attention was still fixated on the fight between the grey mare and the griffons.

@Scare Effect Summer Haven looked around curiously as she entered the small village. She was tired as she had been traveling on foot all day, but she was both excited and proud of herself to have found it on her own. As she walked down the main road in the village, she began looking for somewhere to take a break and rest. She spotted a tavern and decided to check it out. As Summer entered, she immediately noticed all the rough looking ponies and griffons. The green unicorn felt a bit intimidated and out of place, but she decided to put on a smile and approach the counter anyway.
