  The jungle speaks through the warrior. The Path leads to the heart of the jungle.
Follow the path...and you will find the answer

Twilight was begining to recover her consciousness, and as she she open her eyes, she see that she was in a...room? Raising a bit her head she see that she was indeed in a room of a poorly house, and that she was in a bed "Where am I?" She ask herself.

"Ahh, you are awake" A voice answer her. Looking to the left, she see a black human with black beard and and a collar with big circle made of rock on his neck, and he was doing something with her left arm "My name is..."

"Who are you? What you did to my friends" She didn't let him finish as she start panicking. She was still weak, so she couldn't move much, but a part of her body she wasn't felling at all, and it was her left arm "Why can't I fell my arm? Why can't I fell my left arm?!? Why can't..." The human slap her and hold her shoulder, and look into her eyes.

"Calm down, Twilight. I'm not going to hurt you. It was me and some Rakyats who rescued you and your friends from the river" The man said with truth in his voice, and let go her shoulder and sit back on the chair, holding her arm "And as I was saying, I'm Dennis. And the reason you can't fell you arm is because it is deadened for the tatau" He said, looking to the new tattoo in her arm.

"Tatau? What is it? Actually, how do you know my name?" She ask, sitting in the bed.

"You aren't the first one to awake. Your friends woke up first and they explain what happened" Dennis answer her "And I must say, you have unluck to get into this island, that is being domained by a corrupted warrior and his army of pirates"

"Vaas" She simply said, knowing this "corrupted warrior".

"Yes. But, not everything is lost" Dennis said "You, along with Jason and your friends, escaped Vaas's camp alive, and this is a sign about something, a sign of hope, and what proves this, is your tatau" He said, motioning to her arm, and so she give a close inspection on her "tatau", and see that it isn't much "The tatau of the warrior, and you, your friends and Jason Brody, are warriors, I can see that"

"I just hope this help me save my friends" She said sad, remembering her actual situation.

"Ahh yes, you friends tell me about this. But, now you need to eat" He said and help her get up. Now on her feets, she notice something. She was with diferent clothes.

"Hey, what happened with my clothes?" She ask looking at her new clothes. She was using a t-shirt with a jeans jacket, cargo pants and soldier boots.

"They were in no state of reusing, so we change your clothes while you where incountience "Dennis told her, and she blush to just think in how this went "And don't you worry, our female warriors are the ones who did this job. We Rakyats are not like those pirates" He honestly said and go to the door and hold it open "Now let's go, we are commemorating in your, and the others, honor" She go and pass by the door, and see that she was in a village, with a lot of human commemorating, probably by what Dennis just told her "Welcome, to Amanaki Village" Dennis said and Twi look around the village, that was rather big.

The villagers, like Dennis said, were commemorating in her and in the others, that hopefully were her friends, honor. Some of them were around a camp fire, were a pig was being fried, while other were around the vilkage, eating, drinking or talking "Nice...village"

"Thanks, my friend" Dennis said "This island only call for the strongest. It called for me, and it called..." He the points at her "...for you" He then glared to the other vilagers "SEMALAT TENGAHARI" He start annoucing, in their own languague by the looks of it "HERE IS TWILIGHT SPARKLE. THE LAST ONE WHO ESCAPED VAAS'S CAMP ALIVE!" They cheer in her honors, and she just gave a small wave back, blushing. Also, looking at the villagers on the camp fire, the man with blue shirt kinda looked like....

"TWILIGHT" She heard both Applejack and Fluttershy voices, and she see them rushing into her, smashing her into a hug "We were so worry about you, Sugarcube" Applejack said.

"Oh Twi, we though we had lost you" Fluttershy said in verge of tears.

"Fluttershy, Applejack, is so good to see you two" Twilight said, almost crying "I was so worry" The two friends let her go, and Twilight notice that both her friends where using different clothes, like her. Applejack was using a white t-shirt, blue pants and her classic boots along with her classic hat. Fluttershy was using a sleeveless shirt, camouflage cargo pants and black boots that was over the pants.

"Thank you, Dennis" Applejack said, looking at the black man with glasses "There is a way to repay you?"

"There no need for that, Applejack. This..." Dennis made a suddendly stop "Actually, there is something. That man..." He motioned to the man with blue shirt "...also escaped Vaas's camp, but he lost someone too. Can you three try talk to him, and maybe become friends with him" Dennis them puts his hand on Twilight's shoulder, giving her a friendky smile "I feel that you all will achieve great things together"

Twilight tries to undertand what he meant by this, but she accepts anyway "You can count on us, Dennis"

"Thank you" Dennis said and clap his hands "I talk with you all soon, I need to talk with someone. Until soon" He said and walks away.

"Bye" Twilight said, giving a small wave, along with her friend, and then look at her friends "Well, let's go" She said, and then they go to the man with blue shirt.

Behind him, Twilights taps his back "Excuse me"

"Hm? Yes?" Twilight recognized his voice from somewhere, and when he turns around, she finally remember him "Oh, it's you three! You made out! That's good"

"You too. I'm happy to see you also escaped that place, mr..." Twilights tries to remember his name.

"Jason. Jason Brody" Jason said "Why don't you girls sit?" He motioning to the free spots on the camp fire.

They do as he said, sitting and decide to continue their chat "Well, I think is time to introduce ourselfs" Twilight said and motioned to herself "My name is Twilight Sparkle" She then motioned to her friends "And that's Applejack"

"Howdy"

"And Fluttershy"

"Hi"

Jason raise his brown, confuse for her names "Well...that's are some unique names, you know?"

"Really? Why?" Applejack ask.

"Because...never mind" Jason gaves up, and decides to change the subject of the talk. For some time their we're talking and eating what was being oferred by the locals. While Jason eated more meat, that he strongly needed, the girls decided to stick with fruits and vegetables.

"So, how did you three end up in this...hell hole" Jason ask, finishing his pig.

"Well, we three, along with 4 other friends, were exploring a cave, in search of a artefact knowed as "The Eye of Insanity". When we got it, we black it out and when we woke up, we were here"

"Jeezs" Jason said "And where are you other friends? They...died?"

Hearing this made Twi and the other nervous, but they quickly calmed down "We hope not. When those pirates capture us, they knocked us out. When I woke up, I was in a bambu cage with them..." She motions to her friends "...and no sign of the others"

"I'm sorry" Jason said.

"Thanks" Twilight thanks him with a smile "But I won't give up in searching for them. They are here somewhere, and won't let them down"

"And I'm also not giving up in finding them" Fluttershy said.

"Me too. I won't give up so easily" Applejck said. Jason smile at this little moment. It was heart warming to see such true bond of friendship, somehow "Oh yeah, and where is your brother?" This made Jason stop, looking st the ground with small tears coming out of his eyes.

"Jason, what happen? Did..." Twilight stop, when he remember what Dennis said He lost someone too "Oh Celestia. Did he..."

"Yes" Jason coldly answer "When we where about to be free, that man with a mohawk shot him"

"I-I didn't have no idea" Applejack said, felling bad for bringing this up "I'm sorry" She said, with a hand on his back.

"It's okay" Jason answer, clearinf his eyed and looking at them "But I promise at that moment that I would rescue my little brother, my girlfriend and three other friends from those assholes" He said with determination "I won't give up on them"

"Then why you three don't join forces?" Dennis appear suddendly

"Dennis!" Twilight said in surprise.

"Is good to see you four bonding, and also, I got a gift for you all" Dennis said and the group get's up, wondering what it is "Here" Dennis than take some green papers from his pocket and extend to Jason to pick up.

"What is this for" Applejack ask,

"Cash for weapons" Dennis answer, and the four survivors become nervous and making Jason not picking up.

"You mean...like the ones that those pirates have?" Fluttershy ask.

"Or course!" Dennis answer.

"I-I'm not sure" Jason said, stepping back a bit.

"Me too" Twilight also said, remembering what happen last time she tried use this weapons.

"You want to save your brother, right?" Dennis ask Jason "And you girls want to save you friends" He then said looking at Twilight and her friends.

"Is that I never shot anyone before" Jason said, and Dennis look at him with a small smile.

"What to they said in America?" He ask with his arms extend to the sides "There's a first time...for everything" He said and then extend the cash to Jason pick it up, again. After looking at the girls, who where also not sure about this, Jason decides to pick up. With the cash in hands, Dennis put one of his hand on Jason's back, and directed him to a "General Store" with the other.

Jason's only though about this was simple How did I get myself into this
