chapter two: The Strange Temple

the Enterance to the Temple
4:00am

"We're almost there," said Scootaloo.
"Good, darling. My hooves are absolutely killing me." complained Rarity.
"Uh, hate to break it to ya, sugarcube, but we've only been walkin' for fifteen minutes," Said Applejack.
" you'll be fine, Ah'm sure of it."
"No I won't! If we have to go much further, I'll collapse of exhaustion!" countered Rarity.
"We're here. Now could you two stop arguing?" said Sweetie Belle.
And they were. Wow. that looks like something out of a Daring Do book, not real life, thought Twilight,
who owned copies of all the Daring Do books, and had read them as well. And it did. Tall, looming spires
that threatened to crumble at any minute, weathered statues of forgotten heroes, and a wide, gaping
enterance, guarded by a sleeping beast that looked like it would wake up at the drop of a pin.
"Maybe it's f-f-friendly..." whispered Fluttershy, slowly backing away from the temple
" only one way to find out." said rainbow dash, walking toward the temple.
crack
fluttershy squeaked and hid behind the others.

the beast opened one golden eye, and saw a small group of ponies. it recognized the three fillies that
had disturbed it before. It roared in an attempt to scare them off, but to no avail.
The three fillies had attempted to run away, but were stopped by the others. Well, it was worth a try,
thought the creature, approaching the group menacingly but cautiously, as one of them was a unicorn whose
cutie mark was the ancient symbol for "magic," and it was wary of the pony's magical ability.
"We're not afraid of you!" said one of the ponies. It was cyan with a rainbow mane, and a cutie mark that was
the ancient symbol for "rainboom.' It was standing on a snapped twig, witch was probably what had woken it up.
That in itself was bad, but worse was the fact that the pony it was looking for wasn't with this group.
It lifted a massive paw, ready to crush the group if they tried to get closer to the temple, when all of a sudden,
a faint but stern voice said "stop," and a yellow Pegasus with a cutie mark that was the ancient symbol for "kindness"
flew out from behind the group.
"FLUTTERSHY."

"FLUTTERSHY."
"Y-yes?" asked Fluttershy nervously.
"YOU MAY ENTER."
"O-okay, guys. Lets go in"
"ALONE.'
"I-if that's what you want," said Fluttershy as she started along the dark corridor that was the enterance hallway into
the temple.

Inside the Temple
4:15am

Fluttershy was confused. She had been walking for a solid fifteen minutes, but was still walking down a long, dark
corridor with no sign to show she was actually going forward.
"Fluttershy... Fluttershy, come to us... Fluttershy, we need you... Help us, Fluttershy...
As Fluttershy went on, the voices became more and more abundant, until they overlapped so much it was impossible
to make out what was being said. not that it's a bad thing I can't understand them... they sounded so desperate,
she thought as she went on.
Huh? There's a light in the distance... I shouldn't go to it... But why do I feel like I need to? thought Fluttershy.
Why do I feel like it's my... Destiny?
As fluttershy went on, she felt that she was getting closer to her destiny, until she reached her destination, and she
was engulfed in light.

Outside the Temple
4:30am

Twilight was getting worried. it had been thirty minutes since Fluttershy had gone into the temple and the creature
had dissapeared, and twenty since the flash of light had come from inside the ancient structure.
What if she- No, don't thik about that. Think positive, Twilight. Fluttershy will be fine. she always is. she'll be
careful. The only reason you want to go in is because you want to see the inside of the ancient temple. Not because
you are irrationally worrying about her, because you want to see ancient history. Nothing to panic about.
yeah... Nothing at all.
"Twilight, darling, are you alright?
"PANIC!!!!!!"
"Uh, are you alright, sugarcube?" asked Applejack.
"Oh... Uh... What?" Asked Twilight.
"I asked if you were alright, darling, and you yelled 'panic,' so Applejack and I got worried," said Rarity.
"Oh. No, I was worried about Fluttershy, and how she hasn't come out yet." explained Twilight.

well, here's chapter two!

also, thans again to ADiscordianfollower for agreeing to preread.

this chapter. writing this chapter caused me PAIN. first, the site froze and i had to redo a large portion of it. then,
it took forever to save, and wouldn't let me stop it from attempting, so i had to redo ANOTHER portion, smaller this time,
but still.

All in all, I'm happy with the way this turned out.

until chapter 3, seeya!
