private Following the Dream

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

flearia and proff walked away but summer remained when she was. she stared at a wall trying to realise what has been happening in the last night. she shook her head 'this sure is the most crazy night I ever had' she said to herself. then her eye fell on something that layed on the table, it was a piece of paper. summer looked at it, curiously, and picked it up. it was a map! 'cool' she said and put it in her saddlebag. then she walked out of the door.

 

a little while later summer met up with proff and flearia outside the town. 'look' she said 'I found this on jakcys table, it's a map!' and she showed the map to the others. summer wasn't too good at reading maps so she had no idea where it led to, but she asumed that prof or flearia would know it.

 

then there was something else that concerned summer a bit 'does anypony know where we're going to stay the night? because I really need some sleep.' she said to the others, 'I don't mind sleeping outside at all, do you guys have a problem with it?' and then she looked in her saddle bag to see if she could find her sleeping bag, not that she really needed it since it was warm enough outside but it was much more comfortable to sleep in as on the grass.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

Not long after that Flearia had left the Deamon Pony Village and entered the woods outside it with Irra lithing up the way beside her. '..that she was up to no good the moment I layed my eyes on her! No! I know! I KNOW! You told me that she was that but I couldn't leave Indus and Summer even thou-'

Indus appeared from the way back to the village and showed the key that Jacky had snatched before she left the town hall. "Ay! She probably tough she had it with her" she growled before slooping her ears and looked to Indus. "Sorry Indus... I'm in a really bad mood... Didn't mean to growl..."

Not long after that, Summer too joined them and showed a map to both of them. "Ay, She must have eather lost herself some extreme to leave thouse two behind or she want us to go there. So what should we do?"

Summer asked a question that was one of the biggest reasons for Flearia's bad mood. "I really do mind... But thanks to Jacky I don't habe a choice" she stomped irritated at the ground. 'Ay! Don't remind me Irra!'

"Don't worry about sleeping arrangements, Miss Breeze," Indus spoke up, using his magic to levitate a folded up tent from his saddlebag, "I've come prepared. It will fit the three of us, no problem."

 

He returned the tent to his bag and took the map in his magic. "Let me see that." He unfurled it and took a read at it. "Hm, yes, I think I can make out where our 'friend' is going."

 

He took a look around, and pointed to a track leading into the trees. "Perhaps we should sleep away from the town and the main road. We don't need more attention from the locals."

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

Summer stared with an open mouth at Prof when he showed them a folded up tent 'Why are you so prepared?!' She said, with a little bit of disapproval in her voice. 'Adventuring is no fun when you are prepared for everything.' She added.

 

Then she looked at Flearia, she looked like she was not having a good day, Summer felt sorry for her and she wished she could do something for her. 'Do you want to my sleeping bag tonight?' Summer asked her. even though it was more comfortable, summer didn't mind sleeping without, she did it many times before.

 

Summer looked in the way Proff had pointed and nodded 'I agree,' She said 'I think it's a good idea to go a bit further into the woods.' She knew that there would be much more uninvited guests when you slept next to a road as in the woods, and she already had enough surprises tonight. The last thing she needed now was more trouble. 'Let's go then!' summer said and she started walking towards the trees.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

"Well it is nice that he is. As for me... I was told that the island was civilicised so I didn't think we'd be sleeping without a proper roof over our head... Thanks Summer but if I use it what will you sleep in? No you sleep in it... Ay let's get as far away from here as possible! The last thing I want is to have some snuck up bonty hunter after us seeing what the deamon pony's laws are like!"

[Unicorncob 5,679]

Summer stared with an open mouth at Prof when he showed them a folded up tent 'Why are you so prepared?!' She said, with a little bit of disapproval in her voice. 'Adventuring is no fun when you are prepared for everything.' She added.

 

"It never hurts to pack a roof to put over your head for the night, Miss Breeze," Indus retorted, with a hint of amusement in his voice, "Though, if it cheers you up, I don't possess some kind of magical multi-purpose army knife. I only packed the essentials."

 

He began walking after Summer, and expected Flearia to fall in behind him. He was happy to keep going until the girls decided they wanted to settle down for the night.

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

They walked into the woods together and soon after that they found a little open place, surounded by bushes and big trees, there was one tree standing in the middle.

 

'this seems like a good place to stay tonight.' Summer said to her friends. The moon lit up the open place a bit and it looked really magical. 'Shall I make a fire to keep the nasty animals away or are we fine like this?' Summer asked. Summer didn't really mind scary animals but maybe flearia or prof did. Even though they wouldn't need to worry to much about it since they would be sleeping in a tent and summer outside. There was no way that summer could sleep inside a small, cramped tent if she could also sleep outside. It wasn't cold and it didn't rain so there was absolutely no point in sleeping in a tent.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

"Ay, this spot looks good!" Flearia agreed when they entered the spot that Summer had chocen for them. She also used her magic to levitate some broken branches into the middle of it and put a fire spell on them using her magic. "I won't make a big fire. We stayed of the road to not give us to much attention so a big fire would be bad." Soon the fire was started. A small cozy fire. "So what about this map then? Should we follow it and se if we can find Jacky there?"

[Unicorncob 5,679]

"Never worry about that, girls," Indus smirked, and pulled the tent out from his saddlebag, "I've come prepared."

 

He set the tent on the ground and cast a spell on it. Covered in a glittering navy hue, the tent began to unravel itself, and peg its tassels into the ground by itself. He watched silently as the tent put itself up.

 

At its full size, the tent looked like it could barely fit an adult mare!

 

"Come on in," he offered the girls, and dipped his head to enter the tent.

 

If the girls looked inside, they would be see what seemed like a normal house's living room! A small bookshelf, a writing desk and a bed were among the items inside. Like a large study with some comfortable looking chairs.

 

The stallion set his things on the bed and removed his suit jacket, revealing the brown waistcoat and white shirt beneath.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

Feeling a bit better after she had made the fire, Flearia looked on as the tent was built up by magic and looked like it would barly fit Summer in it! Let alone herself nor Indus as both was a good bit bigger then that in their own reapectiv ways, tough when she looked at Indus entering it she got confused as to why the tent didn't even bulge a little when the oversize Stallion entered! She herself couldn't help but try follow after inside the tent! The inside was amazing! It was like a miniature apartment!

 

"Oooh" she gasped at the wiev. "Yes this is defenetly an adventurers dream possesion!" she started to look around the room and Irra started to fly around it. "The cheer size of this is amazing! I'v got an alternativ base spell of this on my saddlebag, tough it is nowhere near this size!"

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

Summer looked at Prof entering his tent, and then Flearia also went in 'How do they ever fit in there?' Summer muttered, now she was curious. She decided to see what was inside the tent. She popped her head in and she heard Flearia say that this was an adventurers dream possesion. 'Ha, pfff. adventurers dream posession? I don't think so' Summer replied and rolled her eyes, then she entered the tent completely. She looked around and was quite impressed by all the things inside, if this had been a normal house she would have felt right at home. But this wasn't a normal house, this was a tent and she felt uncomfortable. It was just not right to be in such a big space when the outside was so small. 'A real adventurer doesn't need things like this.' Summer said and looked at Proff to see his reaction.

Indus was pleased to hear Flearia was impressed by his tent, and was almost amused by Summer's boast.

 

"Does not need what?" He replied, "A roof over your head and a safe place from the darkness and creatures outside? I figured this would be perfect for an adventurer. Though, I will admit that nothing will come close to having a campfire under the stars. The main reason I didn't have a fireplace set up."

 

He glanced over to Summer. "Pray tell then, Miss Breeze, what does a real adventurer need?"

He glanced over to Summer. "Pray tell then, Miss Breeze, what does a real adventurer need?"

Summer smiled a bit and they said to proff 'Nothing.' and she looked at him before she continued 'A real adventurer goes on an adventure. he doesn't need anything. he will go out and sees what will come. he uses the things he finds and if he doesn't find anything he doesn't have anything. That's what an advnture is all about. otherwise you can call it a vacation in the wild nature.' Then summer looked at her own saddle bag. it looked full because she had her sleeping bag stuffed in it. 'I'm not a real adventurer either, because I have my trusty saddlebag with me. But at least I come closer to one as you. oh well, never mind, you're a city pony, you don't know anything about adventure.' and she looked serious for a moment longer before she pulled a silly face. 'Don't take that last part too serious please.' summer said, she didn't really mean it, only a little bit. But she knew what prof was capable of and she didn't want to make him her enemy.

Indus matched Summer's stare, his face unreadable, before a small smile crossed his face.

 

"Miss Breeze," he began, "I am a graduate of the University of Trottingham. I studied Arcane Magics, which involved plenty of outings to ruins and tombs, as well as hunts for old tomes and scrolls. A lot of them had me venturing alone."

 

He crossed one forehoof over the other. "And I only procured this tent a few weeks ago."

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

As Summer and Indus started to argue what a real adventure adventurer is and what isn't. She herself keept inspecting the tent untill she come ower tp the bookchase and read trough the titles up untill her ear flickered to Summer saying something about Indus being a City pony! She couldn't help but put in her own tough about it as she let her eyes from the books. "I don't know about Indus but myslef I fall beneath that category... Tough I'm not completly hopeless when it comes to adventures! My profession being about magic and mythological resercher, making me get out on thease field trips." she said more factly then anything else. "Still... I'm not a lost cause."

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

Indus matched Summer's stare, his face unreadable, before a small smile crossed his face.

 

"Miss Breeze," he began, "I am a graduate of the University of Trottingham. I studied Arcane Magics, which involved plenty of outings to ruins and tombs, as well as hunts for old tomes and scrolls. A lot of them had me venturing alone."

 

He crossed one forehoof over the other. "And I only procured this tent a few weeks ago."

'if you know as much as you say about traveling and adventures then why did you get this?' summer reacted and made a motion with her hoove to show that she ment the tent and everything in it. Then she turned to flearia 'I know you are not a lost cause, I didn't really mean it. You know not to take me to seriously sometimes.' Summer said to her friend and gave her a little smile to show her that she was sorry.

 

Then summer yawned, she had been up all night and was tired now. 'good night guys.' Summer said when she turned around 'I'll be sleeping outside, to watch out for dangerous things or ponys or something.' but that last part Summer didn't say very clearly.

"Convenience purposes," Indus simply answered, "I've had a few too many close calls sleeping out in the open. Besides, I only use it for long excursions, such as the one we're on right now."

 

He gave Summer a small nod as she walked outside. "Goodnight, Miss Breeze."

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

Before Summer walked out of the tent she turned around one last time 'You don't have to keep calling me 'miss breeze', just summer is fine. I'm not one of your students you know.' Summer said and then walked out of the tent and into the night.

 

Summer had almost forgotten that the tent was actually tiny and she was confused for a moment about why the tent was so small. Then she remembered, smiled, and started to pull her sleeping bag from her saddlebag. Then she spread it out on a clean place near the campfire. She put some more wood on the fire to make sure it kept burning for a bit longer. Then Summer curled up in her sleeping bag and looked at the fire untill her eyes got heavy and she fell asleep.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

After listwning some more to Summer and Indus argue about how an adventurer should or shouldn't prepare up untill the point that Summer said good night and whent outside. "Yaaaawn, Ay. Good night too Summer."

 

She turned to Indus while still letting a big "Yaawn,i'm sleepy too... And it is some hour past midnight now... I don't se a couch and only other sleeping space is the bed, mind if I borrow a mattress and a blanked to sleep on by the side?" she said in with a other yawn as Irra burrowed herself down on tve mares head.

Before Summer walked out of the tent she turned around one last time 'You don't have to keep calling me 'miss breeze', just summer is fine. I'm not one of your students you know.' Summer said and then walked out of the tent and into the night.

 

Indus let out a quiet snort at Summer's response. "It was merely a form of respect. I didn't wish to offend anypony by being polite."

I don't se a couch and only other sleeping space is the bed, mind if I borrow a mattress and a blanked to sleep on by the side?" she said in with a other yawn as Irra burrowed herself down on tve mares head.

 

"Oh, by all means, take the bed," he offered to Flearia, his voice totally sincere, "I have a spare sleeping bag here somewhere for myself. Help yourself to anything you need."

 

He walked around the room, looking through some drawers for a sleeping bag.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

Not really having the energy to tell against Indus sinserly telling her to take the bed qs he would use a sleeping bag. She bodded and uttered a "ok" before walking up into the bed and drapping herself into the blanket. "Good night Indus" ahe said before grabbibg one of the pillows in her forelegs ans falld to sleep.

 

Irra however only layd still on Flearia's head untill she was sure her friend was asleep. Afger that she levitated over to try help Indus with finding a sleepinf bag, once that would be done she would fly out of the tent and look on Summer before doing her own thing during the night.

[Unicorncob 5,679]

"Goodnight, Miss Dragondanser," Indus replied, and walked around the tent to find a sleeping bag.

 

He blinked and looked up as Flearia's fire spirit companion flew over to him and assisted him with finding a rolled up sleeping bag in a cupboard.

 

"Hm, thank you," he nodded to the spirit, letting it fly off as he unfurled the bag. He removed his waistcoat and shirt, folding them up neatly next to him before getting inside and settling down for the night.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

And with thet our litle group of trouble makers was sleeping.

 

As the morning rose on the next day, sun thet was shining bright for lest week was no were to be seen and onli thing thet could be seen up on the sky were tick clouds. It looked like rain would start to fall anny minute now.

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

Summer woke up; A little flower was tickling her nose. She slowly opened her eyes, rubbed the sleep out of them and sat up. She looked at the sky. The stars that had been shining so beautifully last night were dissapeared and the sun was nowhere to be found either. 'O crap.' summer muttered and got out of her sleepig bag to role it up quickly, she didn't want it to get wet.

 

Then summer went to the tent, she opened it and saw flearia and prof still sleeping. Summer coughed to wake them up. 'Hey, goodmorning guys.' Summer said 'It's going to start raining soon. I thought I'd let you know because I don't know how waterproof your spell is, Prof.' and she opened the front flap to show them the grey, cloudy sky.

 

Then summer turned around. 'I'll see what I can do about it.' She said and walked outside. She jumped into the air and with a few, firm flaps of her wing, that might have caused for some strong gusts of wind on the ground, she flew higher into the sky. She was ready to kick some clouds. 'I thought I got vacation but apearently my work keeps folowing me.' summer said to herself while inspecting the clouds before kicking it and letting it vanish into thin air.

[Flearia Dragondanser 918]

As usualy the morning come all tofast for Flearia's taste! Altough not having the sun giving her an assasin's precission to hit her muzzle to wake her up. She feelt it missing, tough the one other usual morning routine of having Irra removing her blanket was still there as she let out a grunt only to hear Summer greeting them good morning a second after. "M-Morning" she let out but it was to late. Summer had already gone out again. Telling something about the clouds.

After having Irra steal her blanket and then continueing with bouncing on her head. Flearia finaly gave in and started the day! She started with drawing out a big bruah from her saddlebag and started to brush her mane and tail, muttering to herself about bedhead.
