Daring Do and the Ghost of Somnambula

by Creativa-Artly01


Chapter 1

Not long after the events of Daring Done, Daring gets a visit from the Ghost of Somnambula herself. This is that story.

It was midnight at the Get On In and Daring was settling comfortably into her room, when she heard the voice. "Daring Do, thank you for what you did for my people," said the voice. "Thank you for replacing the statue, fixing your mistakes, and putting Caballeron behind bars for good."

Daring looks around confused. She doesn't see anyone but she hears the voice. "Who is speaking to me?" she asks. "Who is there?"

A ghost soon appears in front of her. The ghost is a pegasus mare with a salmon pink coat and a blue mane and tail in a beautiful lace ensemble. "Somnambula," stutters Daring Do. "Is that you?"

"Yes, it is I, Princess Somnambula," replies the ghost. "Thank you for saving my city."

"No problem," replies Daring Do. "It's just I've never talked to a ghost before."

"It's okay," replies Somnambula. "I promise I won't hurt you. I just wanted to thank you for returning our Glopaz. Here, have this Glopaz token I give you in thanks." Daring takes the Glopaz necklace and tiara from the ghost and puts them into her satchel.

"Uh, thanks," replies Daring Do. "But I had a question, how was the temple still cursed? Is the Sphinx still alive or something?"

"No, she doesn't have that long a life," replied the ghost, "Sphinxes have only nine lives just like any other cat. I don't know why the spell stayed cast inside the pyramid. That spell should have dissipated years ago."

"Huh, then I guess that pyramid magic will just remain a mystery," replies Daring.

"I guess it will," replies the Ghost of Somnambula.

The two then turn their nightly talk to the ghost sharing her tales of saving the prince, about her becoming his right-hand mare and eventually his bride, and so many more. Daring listens contently. She could get used to this even if it is a little odd.
