DIVIDED FOUNDATIONS: CHAPTER 6: SETTLED ADVENTURER
YOUTH: D-DARING DOO?!
STORYTELLER: Yes... I myself thought that it was just tales...
*Suddenly a elder pony steps to the door. She was a amber in color and less wrinkly like granny smith and nost as old. Her hair was a dark grey with darker highlights. She walked in a limp as she cam to the door.*
STORYTELLER: It is time...
DARING-DOO: ...(SIGH)... Gristle... prepare the "lost" bag...
HOUSE-MISTRESS(GRISTLE): you said it was a legend...
DARING-DOO: When a glowing pony from canterlot tells you "it's time", i think story tales fly out the window.
GRISTLE: I'M COMING WITH YOU!
*Daring-Doo looks at her faithful friend. They pause for a moment before Daring-doo turns away and goes back into the house. Gristle follows. then the youth and storyteller follows*
DARING-DOO: This is not like the old days where we would just take on over sized spiders or walking molten-lava dragons-
YOUTH: Whoa....
GRISTLE: EXACTLY! And if what you told me is true... then you need all the help you can get! Now stop this pride-
*Daring-doo rushes to gristle and puts her face close to hers*
DARING-DOO: PROTECTION! NOT--PRIDE... protection. YOu think that you are my first partner?! My first friend?!
*Gristle turns away tightening her eyes and lifting a closed hand to her face*
GRISTLE: Of course not... but I thought that i would be a trusted important one!
*Gristle rushes up stairs and the sound of a door slamming could be heard.
DARING-DOO: Sorry about that... I'll get my bag, some water and then we are off.
*the youth and story teller nod their heads. Daring-doo nods her head.
The storyteller and daring-doo pack the ship. the youth is amazed to see one of her hero's alive and real.*
YOUTH: Where have you been all of this time?
GRISTLE: WITH ME!
DARING-DOO: Dang it, gristle!
GRISTLE: I have been taking care of you for over 683 years and i'm not going to stop now!
YOUTH: What?! But-
DARING-DOO: And that is why i stay with you. your so loyal... What happened, was that it was my finest adventure. Princess celestia did not want the elements of harmony in the canterlot castle for some reason or another. I think she was very much upset over her sister from 300 or so years before that! So she had a group of adventurers search a secret area that was lost within the everfree forest long ago. She said it used to be called the... collectuim-
YOUTH: YES! THE EVERFREE COLLECTUIM!
DARING-DOO: Ah... very good. Well anyways, there were about 6 of us... including gristle over there. All the ponies were staring at her and even teased her because none of us had seen a gatonese before. But i was brave enough to be her friend. But with all of the teasing, she was hard to trust me. But with all of the traps and dangers that befell the team, even losing two of the scout party... we grew to be friends.
Then we found the Collectuim. We placed the elements locked in stone spheres onto a special holder that we had to assemble and just left them there.
She told us that someday they would be needed again.
Then she granted us a long life similar to hers, but the only difference is that we were not alicorns. Gatonese already live for about 300 years, so Gristle looks just the same from when i first say her.
YOUTH: Wow...
DARING-DOO: That's enough of that! What is your name anyway, young filly?
YOUTH: Dinky... Dinky Whooves
*Daring-doo nods her head. She then places on her trademark explorers outfit and hat. She then looked at Dinky and put an extra hat on the young fillies head. Dinky jumped and squealed.
For a moment dinky forgot that they were fighting one of the most powerful beings in the world, that her parents where missing, and that the elements of harmony were dust.*
