After Daring and I recovered the keys and exited out of the maze, we began to continue our journey. We now have the keys to the tomb we needed to open. I thought about passing the swamp again, just like the last time. However, this time we did not pass through the swamp. We eventually found the short cut through the path we needed to take to get to that tomb. Neither Daring nor I had any idea where on earth we found that shortcut. I eventually guessed that maybe those crocodiles built it for us, or maybe it was too dark or too much hidden for us to notice. Regardless of why we had no idea about the short cut, we decided to move on and pass through that short cut. After passing through the shortcut, we eventually found the tomb we needed to look for. We each inserted the keys we got from the maze. The tomb opened, and just as Daring told me, it did not contain any body; it contained treasure. While most of the values inside that tomb looked very same like gold doubloons, such as from the classic pirates, not the modern ones who travel on the boat. Anyway, we both carefully examined the inside of the tomb to make sure that there is no trap hidden. Though we were glad that there were no traps, there was no item that Daring was searching for. I could have guessed that those creatures still have the item that Daring had.

"Do you have any idea where we should head next?" I asked.

"I don't know" Daring said.

"Well we can't just stop" I said. "We need to keep on going and stop them."

"But how?" she said "I know that we need to step upward but we can't just go anywhere. We could end up in the wrong place instead."

While I was thinking what we should do next, I saw something strange in that tomb. It was a strange paper, more like an old paper, like a papyrus paper. Strangely enough, it was in a language that I can understand and it seemed like it was a map to show us where to head next.

"Hey Daring" I said. "I think you should look at this"

Daring came along and took a look at the paper I just grabbed. She read along what the paper just said. She later explained to me that this must be the group's next step. We started going on to our next location. Who knows where they will be heading next and when will Daring ever be able to recover her items that were stolen. Before we even took a step into our next destination, we took a look at the note we found in the tomb. It was a map and with directions behind the paper. It was not too hard for us to read. The direction was a little strange for us to tell what it meant, but I somehow knew that it must means that it is our destination to our next stop. Daring however, was not too sure about this because it can be a trap. She explained to me about the traps that she encountered. I knew that there can be traps along the way but I was not too sure about it this time.

"I know that you may have encountered traps before" I said, "but how do you know for sure that it is not a trap?"

"Well I do not actually know about it" she said "but like I said, this paper can mean almost anything. It can be a trap or maybe short cut"

"We can't just ponder around here and do nothing" I said "I suggest that we should at least go on and try to figure it out what it really is"

"I guess you are right" she said "Let us go, but as I said before, you must do it my way if you do not want to get hurt"

"OK" I said

We soon got out of the swamp and started to head on to our next destination. But before we even headed for our next destination, we heard a noise. We figured out that it was the crocodiles. When daring and I took a close look at the crocodiles, we found out that one of the crocodiles got injured. The bird told me that while they were fixing the crocodile's teeth, they heard a tree falling down. The bird did not know that it was the company that the bird and the crocodiles were facing until one of them got injured. When I checked on the crocodile, I could see that its tail was badly wounded. I could only imagine that the hunter was the one behind all this, no matter what the reason the hunter did. I asked who it was that attacked the crocodile, after I helped that crocodile. They had no idea who it was but they did saw that one of them was a Pegasus pony and another one was a Unicorn Pony. They however did know where those ponies were heading to and told me and Daring where they were heading. We looked at the paper one more time to see if that was the place they were heading for. The direction matched the location when we compared to what these animals told us. What were not too sure about was, what were those ponies up to and why did they took Daring's items. The animals could not even tell why when I asked them. I thanked them for some help. Now Daring and I knew where we headed to next. However, we still needed to make sure that we need to be careful for any traps that might capture us.
