Princess Celestia called derring-do, and well-known creation of Dr. Cossack, Pharaoh stallion to the castle, to receive the mission of unknown importance to investigate a gigantic. Located in Thalia.

Tai(a shortening of the princesses name)” derring-do, Pharaoh stallion you are the world's foremost known archaeologists, I require of your services and mysterious temple has appeared in Thalia and I wish for you to to investigate it, you're welcome to anything in the armory considering that this is a mysterious mystical tomb and who knows what evil I'll eventually have to deal with, until I Pond onto a practice of mine, sadly I have not found one yet.”



Back in the actual reality of the book being read by one rainbowDash.

“This is so totally awesome, and also this is written before you were registered as Celestia apprentice .right twilight?”

Twilight slightly giggled”yes I remember reading this book is a filly, but I will not spoil it for you. Enjoy and don't sleep afterwords.” As she snickered walking up the stairs. On all fours of course, using her magic to levitate several books.
As she continued reading the book.

Pharaoh stallion was much built like a Pharaoh(to Pharaoh man for reference) with a instead of CM it was a strange symbol of Dr.C  became clear he was a robot, mystically charged and running on magic. As the two had off to the armory, they are a pony(as rainbowDash had to imagine the description of this particular pony close to her good friend, rarity, on a slightly silver scale for the hair, and Luster dust colored tone.) 

Derring-do replied”so Golden Shield this is where you been hiding, after graduating.”
Golden Shield calmly replied”it's fabulous as always, and I just have the perfect weapon for you, you crazy Pegasus.” Giving her what looked like to be a water gun only with a small far dark cloud load on the attachment, where normally the water bottle would be attached. As she pulled the trigger a lightning bolt shot out.

Golden Shield smiled and said”something from the lab that the boys have been ripping up there working on a better candidate, this is a small-scale, you can recharge it by having it struck by lightning on its own accord as well. Just be careful.” Derring-do also picked up a good Bull Whip. P.S. didn't pick up anything since he was building with natural weapons.

They borrowed one of the kingdoms hot-air balloons while to the direction naturally being pulled in the direction by derring-do herself.

The two arrived in Thalia jungle in front of a large permit, surrounded by plants that look like giant for Venus fly traps!


Rainbowdash now reading out loud again.
they began to enter into the Temple, unknown to them it was actually a gravesite of a God, that will try to make it their own tomb as well! As they climbed down the ladder.
Mechanical stallion used his powers to create light, chanting her spell of Celestia! [Author's notes Okay rainbow gotten better she start paraphrasing once in a while if she cannot pronounce any of the words in anything she will just paraphrase it, this includes the light spell we just saw here so pay attention when she does this.]

Now back in the story.

Derring” now I can see why you were called upon by the Princess, I may need a good unicorn. Even with how awesome I am there are some limitations.” Flying over several trap panels, using her skills the fly which was naturally going to be effective. Pharaoh naturally start using this spell floating, to avoid the ground panel traps as well. They came into a large room, strange symbols were aligned on the walls. A strange tablet was sitting in the center, full with a translation codes. Pharaoh grabbing a tablet and began to glow!

Instantly he was transported to a strange room dilutes screaming voices statues of ponies knees and horrifying terror, a wall filled with screaming faces howling in terror, underneath each statue was a pony's name, one statue was broken Thirdly and destroyed, the first one underneath it was the name'Sombra'.

Rainbow instantly shouted”Sombra, how is he involved in this situation. Whatever it is they can't be good. Good thing Pharaoh told this to Derring later!” Of course by now she had safely return to home.

Pharaoh walked down the hallway to a terrifying sight a book leather bound with several cutie marks, along the side made skin each cutie marks representing magic and sorcery, using his power he grabbed the book, and appeared next to derring-do.
Derring calmly replied”where did you get that book?”
Pharaoh asked”didn't you see the room full spirits screaming bloody terror?” 
Derring said”no” and then Pharaoh explained what he has seen.

After using the book as a reference guide to examine the rooms on the walls they understood what they need to collect, in order to go deeper into the tomb, they had to collect 4 different tablets that have unique coloring matching the tiles that are on the walls.

As the two went back into the central hall, began looking for warp templates inside the Temple, strange creatures start show, bodies of rotting flesh of ponies moving on their own accord!
Derring naturally using her  Bull Whip took down the zombies was great ease, along with the aid of a mystical powers Pharaoh, casting agents spells of light. As they investigate into a small room there was a puzzle and also a strange machine down in combat, on the ground was glowing blue shards, giving off strange energy and mystical readings. In front of them was a giant table.

Written ancient ruins that Pharaoh had to translate, was to receive tablet of  Xel'lotath, your mind may wander into the realms of darkness, ignore what you see to claim the prize!

after a while rainbow noticed a solution fairly quickly because she did borrowed the book from her friend twilight to solve the puzzle earlier, and moved on to the next page.
