July 7

Dear Rainbow Dash,

We’ll be leaving Saddle Arabia in a few days. Aunt Rose said that we’re going to the Marengeti. I don’t know why, to be honest. We’ve been here for a couple months now, and we’re not even close to seeing everything in the tomb here. But we did find something. It was a red gem. I found it when I tripped over a skeleton. I did not scream like a foal… It was weird. When I picked it up, it felt… evil. It was perfect and shiny, and it made my mane stand on end. Aunt Rose seems to know what it is. She saw it and told me not to touch it. I didn’t touch it. Even if I really wanted too…

Anyway, she grabbed a rag from her bag and carefully wrapped the gem in it. The way that she just stared at it… It scared me a little… She looked really mad and told me that we were leaving. That we needed to go to the Marengeti now that our work here is done. How are we done? She just gave the diggers some papers and a letter for their boss, and we just left.

She told me to pack my things. “We have to hurry.” I really want to know what she’s thinking. It feels weird… Like she has a secret and won’t tell me. You remember that one time when we were looking for our Hearth’s Warming gifts and mom and dad knew but they didn’t tell us? It was kinda like that. She knows and I don’t.

I don’t like this… But I guess I just have to deal with it until she wants to tell me what’s going on.

I sneak a peek at the map. She circled this one part on it and arrows pointed at it.

Looks like we’re going to the Zebra’s Pass… From what my books told me, you can’t get through without a guide… I think there’s something up with that place. Something weird. Aunt Rose probably knows. Heard her whispering about meeting our guide to one of the bosses of the digging site.

Rainbow… I’m a little worried that something is really wrong. I hope everything turns out OK…

Your Sister,

Daring Do

I really love these, but it would be cooler if in an epilogue, you had them meet up, and tell each other about their adventures!
