Maw
The lava pool was relaxing. Rainbow Dash did everything but drown in it. She allowed herself to be soothed by the rising fumes, to be lulled to semi-consciousness by the warm vapors, to be pinched by the heated, rancid breath...
Her eyes flew open. Her nose was scrunched up. Something suddenly, horribly reeked of foul. She tilted her head, and a large drop of saliva hit her square between the eyes. When she winced, she wasn't the only thing in the cave hissing.
A gigantic, scaley frame of teeth was sailing down at her.
Instead of jerking straight up, she dove through the currents, shooting away like a torpedo as the edge of the pool behind her shattered to bits. She felt an unnatural wave of hot water pushing her to the far side of the underground basin. She lifted up, sputtering, her mane soaked. She glanced over to see the front half of a large reptilian mass. She saw six limbs, two massive tails, and a neck that looked like it was forged from pure granite. When the monstrocity raised its head from the edge of the pool, she saw four rows of teeth beneath its hissing jaws.
Gulping, Rainbow Dash glanced down. She squinted.
At the bottom of the pool there was a thin layer of glowing green rock that separated the rest of the cave from a seeded river of lava. However, just above that layer, nestled in groups of six, were large clusters of rust-red eggs.
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes long and hard. She didn't have much time to gawk at the situation, for soon the gigantic lizard was scurrying towards her on six thunderous limbs. It uses its twin tails as a springboard and flung itself forward at her, jaw first.
The pegasus shot straight towards the ceiling. Water and pebbles splashed beneath her as the lizard impacted the floor. She flew up, grabbed a stalactite with her entire weight, and snapped it off. Coming back down, she snarled and flung the stone at the creature's skull at full-force.
The monster didn't even budge.
Rainbow Dash was halfway through uttering an expletive when the creature headbutted her. It felt like being slammed by a living brick wall. Rainbow Dash barreled backwards, ricocheted off a stalagmite, and came to a sliding stop beside another pool. Wincing, she struggled to get up on all fours. She squinted across the landscape and saw the distant sight of her saddlebag.
The image was instantly blocked when the monster landed in front of her. With a growling hiss, the thing spun its body and slashed its tails at Rainbow.
She ducked as a chunk of wall behind her exploded.
The monster shrieked and flung its appendages again.
Rainbow Dash jumped up as the edge of the pool splashed beneath her. Kicking her hooves off against the wall, she bolted forward, skimmed directly above the monster's snapping jaws, and flew down the length of its spine. She swooped towards the sight of the saddlebag, planning a hasty retreat, when the rearmost right leg of the creature lifted up and slapped her with the monster's knee. She grunted and flew off course, sailing past the saddlebag and landing with a splash inside a deep pool of bubbling liquid.
She shot back up to the surface, gasping for breath—only to have a pair of jaws coming down on her. With a drowning shriek, she plunged back into the churning pool. The claustrophobic basin was bubbling and surging all around her. All she saw was green light, froth, and the huge chomping jaws of the creature trying to pull her out of the natural dish like a pony might bob for apples. She was running out of oxygen, out of strength, out of hope—
The monster's teet clamped onto her prismatic tail hairs. Rainbow Dash let loose a bubbling shriek. Then her entire world went cold as she was lifted up in a flash, waved around in the cave and tossed by the monster's jaws in a twirl. When she landed, her hooves stumbled upon something wet and springy. She looked down and saw nothing but tongue. Gasping, she stood up on her hind quarters and raised her forelimbs directly upward. Just in time, Rainbow Dash used her body as a stick, holding the ravenous creature's mouth open.
The muscles of the giant lizard quivered all around her. Rainbow Dash was shuddering, straining. If she moved a single inch, the jaws would close in around her and she would be flung down the gaping maw directly in her sight. The smell of bile and acid tickled her nostrols. Everything was hellishly hot as she crumbled upon the gateway to death.
The dim light of her pendant flickered. Rainbow Dash was sweating. The eyes rolled back in her head. She refused to believe that it would end like this. She thought of Princess Luna. She thought of the Midnight Armory. But suddenly nothing about the future was helping her to fight any harder. With a whimpering noise, her mind flew back... insanely far back. Her forelimbs gave way. Her knees buckled, and the monster's jaws closed all around her, consuming her.

WHAT?!
But she thought of Princess Luna... Is Luna going to somehow save her? P.S. Happy 100th Chapter!

Holding open a monsters mouth with your limbs, there's that cartoony feeling I've been missing most of this story!
The smell of bile and acid tickled her nostrols.
Should be "nostrils"
Yep, thats it guys, this is a big troll fic and all of the mane 6 are now dead. The End
I haven't commented on any of the chapters lately because I've been printing them off to read at work. Dunno what I'm going to do when I catch up.
IIIIIt's Dashie's evaluation time!
So in this chapter, Dash is eaten by a beast. I'm going to call it "beast" because whether or not it's a dragon has not been specified yet, alright? I'm not wrong yet! But apparently the Midnight Armory is going to play a pretty big role in the future. Also, I've been brainstorming ways for Dash to survive this predicament, and here's what I've come up with - first, she could go all Yoshi's Island style and beat the monster's esophagus to death, forcing it to barf her up, or she could somehow contact Luna for help, although I don't see how it would work since it's not a full moon yet. That's all I've got right now, so I suppose we'll have to wait for tomorrow to find out if I'm right. These are my thoughts so far.

P.S.1339243 I was just wondering, how many chapters have you printed off? Austraeoh has quite a few.
1489706
Did you... skip chapter 99?
1508292 It's fixed.
I wrote down what happened in the P.S. of it as well.
I was expecting author commentary. I guess I'll just wait for the end of the story
and now it turns into Vore (jk

TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

1625099 Ooooooooooh we're halfway there,
Ooooo-oooooh!
Liiiiiiivin' on a prayer!
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear,
Ooooo-oooooh!
Liiiiiiivin' on a prayer!
Finally, 100.
That feel when you've read a hundred chapters in one day and realize that the story is only halfway over...
Wait, what....Nooooo!!! Just kidding I know she wont die. Right?.....Right?
100 chapters. 1 day. time for sleep.
O hai. Honeytiger is just passing through.
Chapter 100. I have been reading this story pretty much since I woke up this morning, starting at 20 and now here I am. I need to sleep, for I have school in the morning...
Balls to it! I wanna see how Dashie gets out of this one!
100 chapters to go!
Half way there!
100.
Halfway there.
Dash is now dead, the rest of the chapters and the sequels will be filled with random words, with a theme for each chapter.
Word themes will include, but are not limited to: vegetables, petrological terms, animal species and classifications, geography and common swear words in up to 10 languages.
No lemurs or colons were in-, ex- a- or transploded through the reading of this fic.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Having been reading this fic, I shall comment for the first time. The last comment was a week ago, so I have hopes of not being the only one to pass through here. In relevance, I find myself strongly captured by the story, even though I personally thought it started off slow. Time to continue.
achievements.schrankmonster.de/Achievement.aspx?text=Halfway%20East
Aw yeah,
blah blah blah halfway there.
i read 100 chapters in one day- and i can't stop. Congrats, author!
Aw hay I can't deal with this stuff right now.
Don't die like this. It would be so...
Anticlimactic.
Before I go and chatter one about this chapter, I have to celebrate this momentous occasion of me finally reaching chapter 100 of chapter by leaving a good, long comment about it. Because, even if you don't read these, you at least deserve me to spend a bit of time when I put down my thoughts. You're an amazing author.
So, I begun this story I while ago, and I still can't believe I haven't had a long reading session and done half of it in one day. Maybe I'll stop here and do that tomorrow. Well, it'll be fun to leave myself on a cliffhanger, at least. Anyway, I was immediately hooked and I've loved every chapter, for obvious reasons people have already out, but I will as well all the same. We begun with dialogue-free chapter, detailing her silent journey beyond the known realm of Equestria, all written with beautiful description and prose. Then, we found ourselves thrown into a thrilling tale of her solving the problems of Windthrow. It was an intricate plot you can't but be drawn into her, as well as some super cute light shipping, which I'm probably going to get upset about again now. It was fun while it lasted. At the moment we're back to her silent journey, which is lovely, and it was about time we moved on from Windthrow. I wonder if we'll have another big sub-plot like that? All of this had been overshadowed by the mystery of why she's doing this, and her incredible, aching loneliness. I've made my guesses in past comments, but I'm not going to go into that now. In short, I adore this story and crave more.
Right. Onto the actual chapter. The action, as always, was well-written and involving. Definitely very interesting, Dash being faced with a beast she can't seem to defeat. I have some problems picturing it, but that's a small price to pay, I guess. It is rather shocking that she seems to be losing a battle for once, what with her heroics in the past, though I'm sure she will get out of it one piece. How, I'm completely clueless, as she basically just got eaten, and I look forwards to finding. Tomorrow. I'll have a good idea of just how awesomeness I've cleared then.
100 down, the world to go.
So for those of us who've tired of listening to "Caravanserai" on loop for the past hundred chapters, here's a new song to keep you company for the coming century.

100 Chapters! Woohoo! Only 700 more to go
4039358 hey same here :D
Well I may be a little late to this story but nonetheless I plan to celebrate reading 100 chapters by posting this comment, anyways lat me just say that this story definitely gives AWESOME a whole 'nother level, Rainbow Dash ' s personality was spot on, the cliffhangers were absolutely maddening (in good way of course)the action was epic and the humor was priceless! The million questions that go with every chapter are so much fun to think about and the possibilities are endless (well to me and the people that haven't finished yet) so all in all this was just-Oh gosh there are no words to describe how awesome this story is, so with that said-Onward! !
In the immortal words of Spongebob:
"I'm already half-way there! *skip* half-way there! *skip* half-way there! *skip* half-way there!"
Yep, I'm joining y'all at the Big 100 Lodge -- kind of fitting that, in-story, Dash is (trying to) take a break from crossing a mountain range, huh?
I told myself I couldn't favorite this story until I'd read enough of it to stand behind my fave (even though I'm certain I'll keep enjoying it). I'm going to count the halfway point as enough read to call it good.
100...only took me 9 hours and a head ache of epic proportions
Now that was one hell of a hundredth chapter.
5791556 It took me about 1.5 hours, and I'm not skimming, either.
I've stopped for a moment at the plateau of the hundredth chapter.
The journey here has been a pleasant one, accompanied by excitement and mystery, though tinted with a lingering taste of sorrow on the leaves.
A lesser reader might be dismayed at the apparent death of Rainbow, but a "[Next→]" sign fills me with determination.
Not to mention a sense of optimism which I did just mention.
What in the fuck kind of lizard, Godzilla-esque motherfucker is that?!
Also, holy shit that mental image is horrifying. Nice use of imagery.
I'm already halfway through? Wow.
Waitaminute.
There's, like, 9 other works to go. To date.
Just stopping by here on the 100th chapter. Feels good to leave your mark on something great
I read this story a. WAY after it was done and b. Out of order (I started on like chapter one ninety something when sampling this. I had no clue what was going on when I did that so I decided to start from the beginning.) so I knew Rainbow survives this scrap. What I did not know was how.

Again?
You really need to start checking for these things.

Second time it doesn't make A pattern, but I completely agree with you.
100 chapters done, 100 chapters remaining. I'm thinking this Midnight Harmony will be playing a big role. Can't wait to find out.

Jesus such a long journey...
That's the whole story!
Bruh, you gotta put up vore tags to warn me of this. Now I'm terrified and horny.
