You sweat uncontrollably. Finally, your courage fails you. You step back and say, “Um, I think I better go back to finding Fluttershy now, but thank you a lot.” Zecora nods. “Very well, if you insist. But beware. Don’t let your heart fall upon your fears.” You do not understand what she means. You leave her hut, and search alone in the forest for about 45 more minutes. By then, you are extremely tired and worried. You hope that Fluttershy has gone back home already. You decide to go back to her cottage. You walk out of the Everfree forest and head to Fluttershy’s cottage. Oddly, her door is locked tightly, nailed with some wooden planks. Moreover, her garden is in ruins and only weeds and fungi are growing. You force the door open, and nearly fall to the ground with shock. Bones are everywhere. Spider webs covered the house. The room is quiet and gloomy, like it was empty for a thousand years. Carefully, you go upstairs to Fluttershy’s room. You see a mare-sized skeleton lying on her bed. Surely, it can’t be Fluttershy… can it? Dazed by all this horror, you pass out and fall to the ground, never to wake up again. Looks like you have found your friend, but not in a good way. THE END
