The National Treasures of Equestria

Back to the Woods

In the forest, Everyone looked at the map to see where the X was leading them. Luna and Celestia thought for a minute and then realized where where they were going.

"The X points to our old castle.", Luna said after studying the map.

As the group set off, they encountered timberwolves at least three times. They managed to fight them off, and then they soon reached the castle ruins. As the Young Six began searching, Celestia and Luna started wondering how they could have not known about the fact that this treasure was under their castle.

"My guess is the entrance was hidden long before we built the castle.", said Celestia.

Neighsay came rushing back. He had shocking news for the two sisters.

"Silverstream says she thinks they may have found the entrance."

Everyone met up with the Young Six at the bottom of the spiral staircase that ran a long way underground. Smolder led them to a carving on the wall. It looked older than some of the other spots in the castle.

"The map says something about the chamber being behind a carved mural of the pillars.", she said.

They began striking at the mural with chisels and picks until they found a hollow space behind it. Once the hole was large enough to climb through, they turned on their flashlights and began navigating their way through the dark tunnel.
