Well, you could either say that they were lucky or unlucky. Or both.
After they met up with each over they ran down the corridor to the main entrance. But it was blocked by a guard.
So they decided that it would be best to try the other three entrances. They were blocked off to.
"We need to do something, Kuati, teleport us out of here!"
Kuati looked at Hua.
"I can't. It won't let me! They must have some sort of shield to prevent teleportation!"
Hua groaned.
"Great, just great."
Hua spotted a vent and beckoned to the others.
"Guys! This way!"
It took ten seconds for them all to get into the vent.
Hua led the way through the cramp vent and somehow got to the storage area.
As Kuati crawled out of the vent.
"Well, we did manage to get to the storage area."
Neither of the girls responded.
Hua looked around the room. It was full of crates and boxes, some tightly secured while others starting to show sign of decay.
Hua looked around the room once more and looked towards the other two ponies.
"We haven't failed yet, so, let's start unpacking these things."
The other two nodded and wandered off to a box.
Hua looked at a small box and opened it. Inside was a case with five solid gold necklaces in it. Each one had a different shaped and colour gem in the middle. One was red and shaped like a lightning bolt. Another was orange with the shape of an apple. Another one was pink and was carved into the shape of a butterfly. Another was pink with the shape of a balloon. And the last one was purple and in the shape of a diamond.
She closed the case and put it into her saddle bag.
Hua looked at another crate and walked over to it. She tried to open it up, but it was to secure.
She looked around for a wrench or pipe but she couldn't see any.
Then Rhidana walked up to Hua and looked at her with a pipe.
"Sorry, for messing up the plan, I was scared and worried. I didn't know-"
"Don't worry, you made a small mistake so what?"
Hua smiled warmly.
"We are all safe and sound now."
Rhidana nodded, then looked up at Hua.
"Can you ever forgive me?"
Hua smiled.
"Of course."
Rhidana shook her head.
"No, not for that, for this."
Hua didn't know what she meant but when she felt a sharp pain in the side of her head and blacked out. Well, she didn't need to know...
Hua opened her eyes and sat up. What, happened?
She was outside, on a rooftop and the stars were glowing bright in the black sky.
Hua then realised that Rhidana had betrayed her.
She saw Kuati a few metres away and he came towards her.
"I saw what Rhidana did to you. She went through the door. I think she went to get some guys to drag you out, but I managed to drag you up that ladder"
He cocked his head towards a open window placed on top of the roof.
"And brought you up here."
Hua smiled weakly, then started to sob.
Kuati came closer to Hua and they both hugged each over.
Hua couldn't believe that Rhidana had betrayed them both. She didn't care why.
Hua kept on crying in Kuati's mane for a few more minutes. For her, it felt like a hour.
Hua then let go of Kuati and moved back a step to give Hua her space.
Kuati then looked over his shoulder and looked at the stars.
"We can go home, if you like. We can both take another bit of the potion and sneak out."
Hua was still sobbing quietly, so it took a moment for her to look up.
"Yes, I think we should go."
The ponies opened there glass vials and took a sip from the golden substance. They climbed through the widow and without any hassle got out of the building.
Kuati looked at Hua.
Did you manage to find anything.
Hua nodded.
"Yes, yes I did, how about you?"
Kuati nodded.
"I have found something."
Hua smiled.
"When we get back we should look at them."
Kuati nodded in agreement. He was glad that they managed to find some more information, but Hua was mentally scarred for the rest of her life.
