//------------------------------// // 3: What in Equestria is a Fire Breezie? [AJ POV] // Story: Tirek's 5 Quests // by Short Stories 2 //------------------------------// I could hardly believe it! There was enough time in the day ta complete two quests, plus, build shelter! Although, now that I think about it, I feel there may be no need for shelter. Rainbow and I could finish four an finish the last one in the mornin! I excitedly told Rainbow mah plan. "No offense AJ, but, these quests sound really confusing." Rainbow pointed out. That's what I was thinkin' in the back of mah mind, but, I didn't want Rainbow to see the side of me where I doubt everythin'. "Nonsense, Rainbow." I protested. "I'm sure we can get these quests done in record time. I mean, how many other ponies has he pulled inta the Nether?" Noticing a buried horn to mah right, I quickly blocked it from Rainbow's view and gave her a 'what could go wrong'? smile. Rainbow must'a seen it, though, because she gave me a look that said 'your not fooling anyone, Applejack.' "Do you know what a fire breezie is?" Rainbow asked, as she continued to walk on. "Course I do." I claimed. "It's a breezie that...you know, it has flames...and..." I paused, trying to get the right words. "You have no clue, do you?" She asked. "Yep." I said, hanging' my head in defeat. "But, whatever it is, I'm sure we'll be able to find it. An, if it's anythin' like the breezie's that came through Ponyville, then, I'm sure it'll come with us." "I hope so." Rainbow said. We were reachin' a Nether Fortress now, and I swear on Granny Smith's hind leg that I saw a tiny light floatin' above the fortress. Just as quickly, though, it disapeered inta the Fortress. "Rainbow! I think I saw a breezie on top of the Nether Fortress!" I said excitedly. Once we catch it, there will be four more things ta do! Rainbow looked up, and opened her wings, as if preparin' to fly. She lifted about two centimeters off the ground, froze, then crashed back down ta the floor. "Man, when will this wing heal?" She asked herself, tryin' to get a good look at her broken wing. I ran inta the Nether Fortress, and I heard Rainbow catch up with me. "Where do you think the Breezie went?" Rainbow asked. "I don't know, but, I have a feelin' that it's still near the top." I huffed. We were probably around the middle of the first floor when we saw a spinnin' death machine. It started throwin' fire at us, and, I was honestly wishin' I brought mah flame-proof boots. Rainbow an' I were dodging like crazy, and the Blaze just kept spittin' fire at us. There was no way ta go forward, so, I thought we could turn around and try a different way. I turned around ta escape, but, a black skeleton appeared at the only way out. I looked at Rainbow and noticed that Rainbow and I seem to be thinking the same thing. WE WERE TRAPPED!!
