Bear started to tell stories about five brave horses who raged in a violent battle against a league of black-hearted monsters.
''The forces of shadow, was what of they were called, by ponies that feared them. And that was EVERY pony.'' He said. Daring Do felt like a filly again, gathered around a campfire, listening to an old-mare's tale. '' The forces were after the only thing their leader did not have yet, Power.'' Bear continued. ''So these ponies overthrew their leader to make room for another... Armageddon.'' Daring shivered.
Even the name of this pony frightened her. But she would not be scared, not with so many relying on her, anyways after these 200,000,000 years or so, he must be deceased. Bear started again. ''But the five horses banned together to create the ultimate force.''
''Luna's light.''
''The five members of Luna's light were Moongrazer, Firestorm, Twilightstar, Sunnyhaze, and their leader, Universe. Together they fought the forces of shadow in a fierce battle for control. In the end, Armageddon was defeated and turned to stone.'' Bear paused to take a breath. '' But legends tell that one day Armageddon will rise again and he will shroud the land in destruction and shadow.''
Snapping back to the real world, Daring Do looked around her. Spark looked like he had just seen a ghost. As Daring looked closer, she saw a frighting sight. Spark's eyes were pure Gray. ''Spark! Guys! Somethings wrong with Spark!'' She yelled. Spark stood unmoving, like stone. The others rushed over to him to see what was wrong. Even the guards looked a little worried. They should be... Daring thought, fighting back tears. She couldn't imagine what she would do if Spark got hurt.... or worse. ''I'll get help!'' Ricardo offered. As he ran out the den, Daring looked back at Spark, his mouth was open, as if open in a scream. Suddenly, Spark slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground. Ricardo came in just in time with a nurse pony to see him collapse, and the nurse and him were quickly at his side.
As the two carried him away, Daring Do worriedly followed. The other ponies in the tribe stared, as they carried him to a nursing hut. There were a few quick murmurs, but nothing to hurtful that would make her lash out. The inside of the nursing den had a honey-scent to it and a touch of lavender. Inside it felt secure, warm, and friendly. It was better conditions then some places she had been to.
Ricardo, the nurse, and Spark, all went into a room covered by ferns growing on the outside... probably for privacy regulations.
A few moments later the nurse came into the room. Daring hadn't noticed the purple flower in her mane, it really stood out in her light blue and white mane. Daring couldn't help to ask. ''Excuse me miss-'' she asked. ''Sorry, I didn't get your name.'' The nurse looked at her and smiled kindly. '' My name is Rabbit, and I can see you are taking an interest in my flower.'' Rabbit replied. Daring Do blushed and pulled down her hat a little. Rabbit smiled again. ''Its alright, a lot of ponies take a liking to it.'' She said pulling down the flower softly, and started to stroke it. ''This type of flower is a Moongrazer, a very rare flower indeed.'' Daring looked slightly upward at the mention of one of the five of Luna's light members. ''Is Spark okay?'' Daring asked, quickly changing the subject. Rabbit nodded. ''He is doing quite well, you are lucky to have a colt like him.'' Daring's whole face turned a bright red.''Wha- but- i don't- he-...'' She stuttered.
Luckily, a guard rushed in before things got too crazy.
He was breathing heavily, and it took a while for him catch his breath to speak. ''There are intruders- there on their way- RUN.''
And that was when the first explosion hit.
