//------------------------------// // The uncovered tomb: Part 1 // Story: My Diary I wrote in Ponyville: Daring for an Adventure // by Hoobe //------------------------------// After receiving the statue, we went out of the swamp a little faster than we'd expected, thanks to the crocodiles. Not only did they let us pass the swamp but also they help us go back the was we came from for us to head to the next stop. The reason why they helped us get out of the swamp and also let us pass is because I helped one of them with its tail, before we started crossing the swamp. It was badly injured. I helped the way Fluttershy helped the crocodiles. I am not really master at helping the animals, as in curing or healing the animals in the way Fluttershy does. This is just the fact that I saw how Fluttrshy deals with it and that I know how to help that crocodile. After Daring and I said goodbye to the crocodiles, we continued walking to the path we need to take. "I believe that the group said something about the tomb" I said. "That tomb should not be too far from here." Daring and I went to the location of the tomb. Since it was not too hard to reach that location, we eventually arrived. When we arrived, it looked just like maybe the antique castle, except that it is not very complex like Twilight's castle. It was rather simple and was a resemblance of a temple but looked more to the pyramid, except that it was not exactly a pyramid shape. "So you are saying that the tomb you are explaining to me is in there?" I asked. "Yes" she said. "Who's inside that tomb?" I said "it must have been more than years for that tomb to be put there." "It is not" she said. I was surprised so she explained to me why and what is in that tomb. So she explained to me what is in that tomb. "You may think that the important king or the queen is buried in this tomb but it is not." she explained. "While it is true that the king did live here with many ponies and even creatures, this tomb contains the important treasure for the King." "Then how come they did not put it in the usual treasure box?" I asked. "I don't know" she said "the king had a reason for that and only he and his creatures know the answer. Many explorers and I tried to find the answer but no pony was able to find it to this day." I still got confused as no one else knew the answer to that question. "Do you think there is some trying to go after that treasure?" I asked. "Yes" she said. "Believe me. I had many creatures trying to get my treasures. One of them is Ahuizotl." I had no idea who or what is Ahuizotl so she explained to me. "Have you ever met Ahuizotl recently?" I asked "not before as in before we even met." "No, I haven't" she said "but beware because he can strike at any moment." We began to open that tomb. However for some reasons it would not budge. We tried again, but it still did not work. I couldn't understand why. However I found something on the floor when I laid down. When I got a look at it, It seemed like it was the important key to open the tomb. I asked Daring of she saw this image before. She said that she had no idea about it. "Where can we even locate these keys?" I asked. Daring looked at the map in every direction and said "The location is a little awkward because it is going to be the long trip and the map also tells about the traps that are located while searching for these keys." "Well we better get going." I said "Who knows what danger is going to lie up ahead." "Before we even head on, there are couple of things you should know. Yes there are going to be traps but I feel that the creatures we just saw are close by. They were after me and took away the item that I had. The keys may have something in common with the item that I used to had. It we will figure it out soon enough." While we went on a path to find those keys, I asked Daring Do a question that I could not stop wondering. "I still do not understand why they would be out for your item." I said. "I mean is it something really or too valuable for one pony?" "Legends said that the item that I used to have, but now stolen, contains the road to the sacred treasure or even grants a pony almost any kind of power the pony wants." she said "However, no one knows what the item really contains. I found it while I was venturing out on one of my adventures. Strangely enough, it was not hidden in temples or in the rivers or under the waterfalls. It was just on the ground while I was just having a walk. When I picked it up, I had no idea why and how come it was left there. I do not know anything about it, but while I was doing a research on this item, something caught my eyes. It was antique but nothing really expensive as in high value. The other thing that I do not know is how that item and the statue even have a relationship with each other." "I am pretty sure we will find out" I said. "As you may know or not, not every answers and answered right away. There are mysteries that are still to be found and remained unsolved." "You are correct" said Daring Do, as we continued on our journey.
