Future Spike starting writing more.
The very next day though, is when something shocking devoloped. It was supposed to be when the new Daring Do book would come out, but it had been delayed. The elements decided to bring Patra and Deca along to meet A.K. Yearling. However, quickly it was discovered that A.K. Yearling and Daring Do are one and the same, and that the Daring Do series is based around what Daring Do does on a daily basis. This is what sent the group to stop one of Daring Do's foes Ahuizotl from calling upon 100 years of never ending heat.
However, during their conflicts with the tribal ponies in the area while Rainbow Dash went to rescue Daring Do from her trap, Patra was captured by Ahuizotl.
Rainbow Dash and Daring Do soon arrived in the ring chamber, just in time for the others to catch up. "You guys too?" Daring Do said.
"Look, even with just me, there's a lot of those tribal ponies here. We need all the help we can get." Rainbow Dash said.
"Besides, that beast captured Patra." Fluttershy said.
"Let's just do this thing." Daring Do admitted. However, just when the ponies came out...
"Stop. Just...stop." Patra suddenly said. It seems she was unharmed. In fact, it was like she was never even kidnapped.
"Patra? Weren't you just kidnapped?" Twilight asked.
"Well I was, but shortly after that, Ahuizotl here took a look at my necklace and started walking on eggshells around me. It seems that these ponies worship Anubis and hold them in high regard." Patra said.
"But what does that have to do with your necklace, exactly?" Daring Do asked.
"Oh, it's a custom in Mirage Oasis that High Priests to Anubis wear a necklace given to them by the immortal. Each one is specifically forged for them and them alone." Patra said.
"Perhaps, you should just translate the runes for them, and explain the situation, High Priestess." Ahuizotl said.
"I keep telling you, you can just call me Patra." Patra said.
"The runes? What does he mean by those?" Daring Do asked.
"These runes are Egyption Hilogliphs which a High Priestess like me is able to translate." Patra said. "Here, let me translate the runes a little: 'I Anubis know that I cannot stay on this world forever. So, I leave the care and protection of my treasures and artifacts in the hands, paws, and claws, of a series of beasts that I will call my Guardians. I encourage these Guardians to grow their own families, and with each generation, to protect the treasures that I leave behind here on this world.'" Patra translated.
"Guardians?" Daring Do was confused.
"Indeed. It seems that the beasts you've been fighting to secure the artifacts and treasures were put here to guard the treasures of Anubis. Some of them can be very dangerous, and in the wrong hands, or in your case, hooves, it could spell disaster." Patra said.
"But what about the one hundred years of unending heat? Wouldn't that turn Equestria into a desert ruin?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Seems there's been a lot of miscommunication. Though, I have to chastise Ahuizotl for giving the false information on purpose." Patra was glaring at Ahuizotl.
"My apologies High Priestess." Ahuizotl said.
"You have no excuses. You're lucky I was here, because I doubt Anubis would be very happy with you right now. So count your blessings that I was here and not Anubis." Patra said.
"Wow, never thought I'd see the day Ahuizotl would get chastised." Daring Do said.
"Anyways, the runes around the base where the rings will be placed reads as follows: 'In the event that the population of the guardians starts to decline, then gather the Golden Rings of Fertility onto this stake. Once all eleven are accounted for and placed, they will cause the females that share species with my guardians to enter into a fertility based heat for the next one hundred years. During this time, pregnancy is assured. Of course, should any female guardians be assigned, they too will feel this heat, and this heat will cause the males that share their species to be very willing to impregnate the female guardians that do exist. And while I pray that this will never come to pass; I must make this preparation for the odd chance that this does occur.'" Patra translated. "And it just so happens that the guardians have started being spread thin, so in attempt to ensure that this will not be the last iteration of the guardians, Ahuizotl tricked Dr. Caballeron into getting the last ring so that this contingency plan of Anubis could be activated." Patra said.
"So...why the act then? I just don't get that." Daring Do said.
"Yes, I'm going to have to ask that Ahuizotl gather the other guardians after this so I can act as a mediator to all this so that things are smoothed over." Patra said. "Thankfully for you, Daring Do, I'm willing to let the artifacts and treasures of Anubis you did put into museums remain there. On one condition: That from now on, you make sure to help protect these treasures and make sure they remain in the temples that they are housed. Because I doubt that your other rivals; like Dr. Caballeron; would be so willing to let bygons be bygons." She said.
"...Yeah, I can see why Anubis made you a High Priestess." Daring Do said. "And I'll agree to those terms, so long as the whole evil act is dropped." She added.
"The guaridans better drop that act, or there will be consequences. As I won't be so forgiving towards anymore hostility these guardians show you." Patra warned.
"Y-yes High Priestess." Ahuizotl said.
"I keep telling you: You can just call me Patra." Patra said.
"You keep some odd company, Rainbow Dash." Daring Do said.
"Maybe. But I wouldn't want my friends any different." Rainbow Dash said.
"Heh. Maybe I should think about moving into Ponyville. Bet that'll become a shock to the town." Daring Do said.
"OOoooo! I can't wait to throw you a 'Welcome to Ponyville' Party!" Pinkie Pie said.
"...Is she always like that?" Daring Do asked.
"Meh. You get used to it eventually. Also, piece of advice: Don't ever question Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash said.
"Trust from experience, it's not worth the injury." Twilight said.
"...I'll keep that in mind." Daring Do said.
Deca MLP Log #3
Subject: A.K. Yearling & Daring Do
Previously, the Daring Do books were thought to be fictional novals created by A.K. Yearling. Yet, this turned out to be only partially true: As it turns out, the Daring Do series is a toned-down version of A.K. Yearling's real adventures as the author is the real life Daring Do. Creative liberties were taken with the books as evidenced by the latest entry "Daring Do & The Priestess of Peace" as the names of the various elements were changed as was Patra's identity. This was further backed up by the fact that Daring Do had the unending fertility heat that would ensure pregancy be changed to the more general audience subject of "creating more guardians" instead. A promise that Daring Do will now protect the artifacts of Anubis; name changed to Guardian God for protection; alongside the guardians so that money hungry ponies wouldn't steal them was also given in the latest book.
As a side note, it seems that Rainbow Dash and Daring Do are fraternal twins who were separated at birth. Call me a curious cat, but I have to wonder how they got separated in the first place.
