Twilight stood behind the group, looking around the jungle. She could hardly believe that she was going on an adventure, just after she went on another adventure that nearly brainwashed her! She shook her head, trying not to think about it, she trudged on. There was thick mud everywhere, and it was almost impossible to walk in.

"Don't worry," Crystal grunted, lifting her front hoof, "We'll be out of this crap soon enough, the ground is getting more solid."

Finally, they began walking normally again, Moonlight looked at Twilight, smiling. He usually looked up and around to try and find any danger that could come reign down on them from above, he was seemingly focused on protecting her. 

Mystic Haze suddenly stopped, she closed her eyes and stood very still. "What's going on?" Twilight exclaimed, only to be shushed by Crystal. Mystic looked to the right and glared, she then looked at the group, "I sense something, danger."

"Danger? What kind of danger?" Crystal asked, looking around.

"She can sense danger?" Twilight asked.

"Ever since she was a filly." Moonlight whispered.

Mystic spun around and shot a laser out of her horn, something screeched and landed with a thump. Twilight had never heard that sound before, but apparently, the rest of the group had.

"Goblins." Crystal said, "We killed one, should we go loot it?"

"Heck yeah, don't you know what kind of stuff they have?" Moonlight exclaimed, already rushing over to the sound.

Twilight  trotted over with the rest of the group, she saw a green, elf pony-like beast. It was small and had a large bag and weapons on it's belt. Moonlight scavenged through the bag, he pulled out food, potions, and a note. Twilight took the note with her magic and read:
Dear Goblins,
I have a small job for you, I need you to kill four ponies, Crystal Aura, Mythic Haze, Twilight Sparkle, and Moonlight Thunder. Do this, and I will pay you 200 emerald chips. They should be in Evermore Jungle, trying to find our base. Kill them, and you gain the money.
-Silver Edge

"Great," Mythic said, kicking a rock, "Now the Rebellion knows we're here!"

"How did they find out?" Moonlight said, glancing at Crystal.

"Um, ever heard of eavesdropping?" Mythic said, growling in frustration.

"The Rebellion is NOTHING!" Crystal exclaimed, biting her lower lip, "If the Lamia Kingdom discovers we are here, we're doomed."

There was a lamia directly above them, listening to their every word. She smiled and chuckled a little, she knew that she would hypnotize them one by one. She then saw Moonlight, smiling at Twilight, she smirked, Perhaps, only one would be just fine. Especially since they will most likely be lovers very soon. she thought, slithering with them. As they trudged on, the lamia only planned more and more, as she followed their every move.
