	"Travel to the Tribe of Tall Mountains and seek their leader, He will give you information to where the diamond key is hidden." 				Daring Do remembered her run-in with Spark, the only pony in the world who could shape-shift into other animals, and being told to go to the tribe of Tall Mountains to retrieve the diamond key to hide it away so nopony could open the temple of Rasco. 
Now Daring Do and Spark were on a small plane with one turbine engine and two propellers. Nothing fancy, but it got them where they needed to go, they hoped. Daring was afraid to admit it, but planes were not her favorite idea of transportation. She always got airsick and the idea of floating THOUSANDS of feet on a metal piece of machinery gave Daring Do an uneasy feeling. Which was very convenient because she was a pegasus and should be used to flying. It was just... she never flew this far up.
''Daring? Daring? DARING!'' Spark yelled.
''Wha- huh?'' Daring said, looking up.
''You were staring out the window for a while... you ok?'' Spark asked, obviously concerned.
''Uh, yeah... I'm ok, I'm just..... excited about our adventure, that's all.''Spark didn't seem to believe her. 
''What's really wrong?'' Daring Do was uncomfortable, she didn't usually talk about her feelings with others. Except her mom. Daring started to cry. Years ago her mom went missing with no trace, on a mission by herself. Daring was only 8 then, and it had been so long since she had heard her mother's warm, comforting voice. 
"Search for adventure, because once you find it, you will never want to go back."   
That was what she always said. Spark wiped away her tear. ''What's wrong?'' he asked. Daring explained her sadness to Spark, it felt nice talking to someone she could trust. ''Dont worry, you'll see her again someday...'' Spark said, ''and when you do, you will never leave her again.''
