As I had suspected, we had in fact being going in the completely wrong way, if the weird looking pony hadn't helped us out we would still be looking for a house on the other side of the Spherical forest.
"What is your name little girl" My mother asked, trying to act as formal as possible.
"My name is a question, too much to be ignored, I have no objection my name is Zecora."
I thought about pointing out that question and Zecora didn't rhyme, but I didn't want to act impolite so instead I asked. "You are one weird looking pony Zecora." Much better.
"A pony I am not you must see, a Zebra I am and I must decree."
Decree? who says decree anymore?
"You can see the hut from here can you not," she asked, for once not in rhymes. I started to wonder if her father speaks in rhymes too, that would be plain weird.
"Yes we can see it, it looks very... homely." My mom said interrupting the silence.
I could barely make out the outlines of the hut, from where I was looking at it it appeared as if it was a giant shoe in the middle of the forest, like those old nursery rhymes. Oh no I don't want to be reminded about rhymes again.
"The hut is nice from a distance yes, but get closer and you shan't have to guess."
We approached the hut one by one, with Zecora in front, then my Mom, then me. I could much clearly see the hut now, it was in fact not a shoe like I initially thought but the design of the house looked as if they fashioned it from an old Turf 90.
Zecora was the first to arrive at the door to the hut so she opened it for the two of us to enter, we each said thank you for opening the door and we entered.
First thing first, the Doctor was right in saying that this Zoruck lead in an entirely different profession. The profession of voodoo more like. The more I looked around the hut the more I thought that whoever owned this place must be a night stalker whatever one of those were, I can't imagine anyone living in this place.
The walls were stacked in all things weird, there were potions with weird symbols on them, there were cauldrons bubbling the pure essence of evil, that or just their lunch. Either way it was just an unexpected sight to see.
"Ah, you have returned Zecora, and you have brought guests." The voice was very distinguished and seemed very educated. Much like a doctor.. but wasn't a doctor?
"These 2 were wandering around in circles in the forest, they say they are looking for you." After she said this I couldn't help but realize she had stopped talking in rhymes.
"Please Zecora, don't be so formal, we have guests, now you were looking for me yes. What is it you seek?"
Though even though he asked, I think he had a feeling what we needed, I had kept my left eye closed all the way here, I just couldn't face anyone seeing it, even when I was in the dark. I felt so ashamed even though I couldn't help it.
"My daughters eye, something has happened to her eye, she fell and now her eye has gone... A little out of place." My mother said, trying to sound as nice as possible.
I slowly opened my left eye showing the pupil staring in the opposite direction of my other pupil.
"That, that is going to be a challenge I fear" He said to my dismay. "But not impossible." this string of words immediately brought my spirits back just as fast as they were taken away.
"What I need you to do is no easy task, but it will all be worth it for an almighty flask." He then picked up what seemed to be an empty flask, he shook the bottle around for a while and poured in some of the substance that was in the cauldron I mentioned earlier.
"What do you need us to do?" I found myself saying
"Not now not now it is far too late, wait till the morning and await your fate."
I had only just noticed he was speaking in rhymes again. Was that good or bad?
