Rarity was able to escape the evil of the frantic fillies chasing her down. She continued her search with not as much excitement in it until all the knights meet up again, which will be later. But until then we will tell you about the tale of another knight. Fluttershy.
The Tale of Miss Fluttershy
Fluttershy was rushing around, trying to escape the horrors of the Everfree Forest. She was being hunted by bears, cockatrice, timberwolves, and other animals that we are not able to determine do to poor author detail. She was crawling on the ground through some tree roots to escape them when she saw something amazing. A castle. And above it was what seemed to be the Holy Grail. She swore she could hear angels singing. She rushed over to the door and attempted to pound on the door. She was hitting it, but not hard enough. She quietly hit her hooves against the door saying, "I'm sorry to bother you, who ever is in here, but can you, if it's okay, of coarse, can you open the door?"
-------------------------
On the inside,some lonely stallions were walking about, and one passed by the door. He swore there was something lightly hitting on it, and he thought her heard a voice saying, "Will you please open the door?" He obeyed and opened it to see an injured pegasus fall into the castle. He quickly brought her in and closed the door. The pegasus got up quickly and said, "Why, thank you so, so much, sir. I was stuck in the forest, and there were some scary creatures chasing me, and I found your castle and saw the grail, just, thank you!"
The stallion heard this story many times before, but this was the first time it was said by a mare. He had never seen a mare in a very long time, so he was astounded by her. He asked her, "What's your name?"
She replied very quietly, "I'm Fluttershy."
The stallion couldn't suppress a giggle from her name. He put his hoof out and said, "Well, my name is Bill. Welcome to the Castle Anthrax. Yes, it is an awkward name, but just ignore it." He was being very outgoing, and Fluttershy backed away a bit. "Is something wrong?"
Fluttershy said, "Well, sorry to bother you, but I am searching for an item called the Holy Grail, and I believe that I saw it in here, so I was wondering if I could, um, please have it?" She put on her puppy dog eyes, which suddenly seemed to become bigger and shine brightly. Bill looked at her awkwardly.
"We don't have a Holy Grail. We have a torch that is always lit at the top, but that's about it. Now come in, we need to treat you. You are most likely sick from being in the forest and a good nice sleep is always something nice."
Fluttershy said, "Well, its so kind of you to offer, but I need to continue my quest. If I wasn't busy I would stay, but, um, I have other plans..."
"Nonsense! You are tired and must rest. Come!" The stallion began walking away, and Fluttershy didn't move. He rolled his eyes and yelled, "Bob! John!"
Automatically two stallions came crashing into the room. There eyes went wide as soon as they saw the tired pegasus. Bill said, "Help me escort our guest to the guest room. We need to care for her immediately." The two nodded and ran over to Fluttershy, picked her up on their backs, and began trotting from where they had came from. They brought her into a bedroom, left her on the bed, and left. Bill walked over to her and said, "You need to rest now. I will get our doctors to care for you immediately." With that he left. After a little wait, three ponies, including Bill, came back.
The two new ponies were unicorns, and one trotted up to her and removed Fluttershy's helmet and examined her face. The other began taking off some of her armor that was best left not touchd. She asked, "Um, excuse me, sir, but is that needed?"
Bill said, "Well, yes. They are doctors. They need to examine you."
"But, I'm fine down 'there,' you don't need to check it."
Bill rolled his eyes. "Yes, but we need to. just let them do what they need to."
Quickly, Fluttershy bucked him in the face and got off of the bed. "No! There is no need to torture me! I'm off now!" With that she trotted quickly out the door where she was met by even more stallions, who looked at her in amazement. They all automatically started greeting her and began walking towards her. Fluttershy looked at all of them and thought to herself well I guess I could stay a little... Fluttershy began trotting towards them to greet them when Rainbowdash bursted through the crowd with two royal guads (unicorns) and defended Fluttershy. Fluttershy said, "Hey Rainbow. Just so you know, I, um, can handle this on my own. You guys can continue your quest elsewhere..."
"Nonesense!" Rainbow shouted. "You were in great peril!"
"Um, no i wasn't."
"Yes you were! Now lets get out of here!" Rainbow and the guards pushed Fluttershy away while blocking the stallions from getting her until they got to the front gate, which Rainbow slammed shut from the outside when they got there. They then got Fluttershy out of the mess and went back into the forest.
