                    CHAPTER 42
Lost

They  both emerged from a great swamp, and Shining Armor said “Where are we, I thought we were supposed to go to the post. This must be miles from the post, Cadence are you here?” He took a quick look around to not find her. He shouted her name “CADENCE!!” He started to run in a random direction to find it not to help. He stopped to catch his breath, and gather his thoughts. “I wonder what she thinks of all this, I must have slipped out of the teleport bubble. I had no idea that was possible.”

“Where, Where am I?” Cadence stood up from on top of a cliff, and looked for Shining, but didn’t see him. She looked instantly as she heard a voice off in the distance shouting something. She couldn’t understand what it was saying, but maybe they might know what was going on. “Shining!!” She got no response. She lifted her wings, but she had apparently crash landed on this cliff, but her wings were broken. Where was she, it looked as if there was a campsite nearby, and a forest behind her. She looked off of the cliff to see a small desert running along the cliffside, but beyond that there was a swamp. She looked for a route down, because she was too weak to use her magic. She couldn’t waste time resting while her, and Shining were apart.

Shining looked around, and found nothing that would help him. He looked over to find a clearing nearby, he walked over toward it find that he was on the bottom of a cliff. There was a massive desert between him and the cliff. He finally decided that if he were to find Cadence at all he would have to climb up to the top. He found a small route of rocks leading up to the top of the cliff. He started to climb only to see another figure at the top, he decided to take the risk of yelling. “Cadence is that you?!?!” It turned it’s head faster than many ponies could, and started to head down toward him, he got into battle stance, and prepared himself to be tackled. Cadence appeared the through the fog, and jumped on him for a hug. They both asked each other “What happened?” The both had no idea, but they decided it wasn’t important, and they should rest up.
