Spike and ori had made they're way into hollow grove in hopes of reaching the spirit tree, as they entered they encountered a piece of the ground that looked ready to break.
"Be careful Spike and Ori this ground looks unstable" Sein said with caution, as she finished another frog like monster came down and it tried to attack, Spike and Ori both got the same idea and they lead the monster to the unstable ground, it landed on it and just like they thought it broke and it fell down, sein finished the monster off to make sure it doesn't do more harm.
"Great idea you two it looks like there's something down here" Sein said observing the new path, Spike and ori both headed down to see if they could find anything, and to they're surprise there was another spirit tree!
"Wow didn't expect another one so soon" Spike said a little surprised with Ori nodding as well, sein went to see who was previously here.
"Ano the spirit that died here, was strong and courageous. Listen to his voice and he was able to focus our light" Sein said with lines that were like poetry. Spike and ori both made they're way to the tree and just like before light began to float and absorb into them giving them another power.
"What was the new power we just got?" Ori asked confused.
"this is the Charge Flame, by focusing my light on a nearby enemy i can unleash a powerful blast that will do a lot more damage" Sein explained.
"This will definitely be a big help" Spike said with a smile, they then both proceeded forward, they soon came upon a wall with blue cracks looking like it needs an extra punch.
"Lets try out that new power" Ori suggests, they then have Sein come close and focus her light, like she said she unleashes a large blast that brings the wall down.
"Great work Ori!" Spike compliments.
"Thanks Spike" Ori says with a little blush, they then continued on forward.
They continued to move on, climbing up some more walls, and breaking down a few more walls opening path to previous areas they've been making it easier to go back faster, they then came upon a wooden lever and out of curiosity they both pulled it to see what happens, they then look up and see a log had lowered down a bit giving them a bit better of a chance to reach a higher area.
"Let's be sure to keep an eye out for more levers like these" Spike suggested with the other two agreeing as they made they're way back. Like they hoped the new ledge helped them reach a previously unreachable area which helped lead them into the Spider Coves like they were supposed to go.
As they entered they're eyes widened as they saw what looked like a large cocoon which moved up towards another place they needed to reach.
"Hope we don't run into the monster that did this..." Spike said nervously with Ori holding his hand as they both made they're way upwards using the cocoon to reach the higher area. they had sein use her charge flame ability to destroy a venerable rock that held the cocoon, the cocoon then fell down giving them access to move forward in an area which previously had just a pit of spikes on the ground.
"At least we can see what's down there now" Ori said a little nervously, they both then jumped down to see what they could find.
They then landed on the cocoon and saw two directions they could go right or left, they both decided to go left first as they saw a blue light in the distance, and like they thought there was another energy cell, after collecting it they then made they're way right. They ran into a few spider monsters but it wasn't much of a problem to deal with them, they had to carefully jump over wooden logs over poisonous water to make they're way to the other side. they soon had to make they're way higher and used a few blue energy trampoline like objects ( I'm just gonna call them sprouts) to jump into higher ledges and climb a few more trees, they then finally made they're way out of the coves an into the Thornfelt Swamp.
"Wow that seemed easier then i thought," Ori said a little surprised
"You should never say that ori, saying stuff like that can ALWAYS make things harder" Spike said a little annoyed
"Why is that Spike?" Sein asked confused
"I have personal experience with that with some of my friends." Spike said before looking a little sad as soon as he said friends, which they both caught.
"What's wrong spike?" Ori asked concerned for her friend.
"I miss them.." Spike said sadly.
"you mean your friends?" Ori said looking sad as well.
"Yeah its just. I suddenly vanished after telling my guardian/ mother that i was hoping that I'll be able to do something great, they were always going out on dangerous stuff to save Equestria while i was just at home, i know it was just for me to be safe... but i just wished i was able to do more to help." Spike explained, Ori then came up to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"I may have only had one mother, but everything we did i always did that made her happy and helped her in everyway i could, like when i helped pick foods with her, or when i helped her build a bridge to reach other trees with fruits after the ones we used ran out, no matter what i did i always helped in the best way i could even it it was small." Ori says with a small smile.
"She's right spike, no matter what we do it's always important that we do our best to help others and make things better like what we're doing now." Sein said sadly.
"I just hope that I'll be able to see them again. " Spike said about to cry
"When this is over we'll find a way, i promise Spike" Ori said before giving him a hug.
"Thank you ori" Spike said with tears
"Your welcome Spike" Ori said with a few tears of her own, they soon then cheered up and they continued holding each others hands.
