One place left out of the tour

(( My twist was the cockatrice xD ))


"I think there is a hospital," replied Fireseeker, "But I don't if they specialise in magic treatment."

A distant howl caught his attention, making him gulp.

"But whatever we do, we better do it fast. It sound like that cockatrice isn't the only dangerous thing in this forest..."

"I guess I could carry one of you. Might not move to fast but we'll get out" Brawny hears the howl "And you're probably right. Their's more death waiting for us"

gemini sighs."okay, i'll carry fire and you carry.....uh...what was your name there?" he points to ave, thinking if he got his name before or not." wait...what were you guys doing in the everfree in the first place?"

"Um, my name's Ave." He said, happy to be getting out of here.
"and um.. well, i'm kinda new here and i followed Fire in because i was curious to how this place was, and i say, besides the dangers, its a lovely place!" He mused happily, showing a strange liking for the weather and atmosphere that was very typical for Everfree.

"But, if you don't mind, escape first, ask question during or after the escape..." Ave said with a sigh, sad he had to leave, also quite sad that the forest turned out to be dangerous.

"atleast we can confirm what I, -personally- thought to be a myth or mare's tale, The cockatrice. or as some books called it, the basilisk. but that name remains very unused." He noted with more joy in his voice, again showing more interest for the forest.

"Ave, not that I don't appreciate your knowledge of mythological creatures but knows not the time," Fireseeker told him.

Standing on his hooves as best he could, Fireseeker slowly made his way over to Gemini to be carried.

"Come on. We should go before things get worse..."

"Let's just get out of here. This is getting freaky" Brawny follows the other ponies out of that abomination of a forest

gemini leans down, moving to allow fireseeker to climb on his back." okay, and brawny will carry ave then and we'll....which...which way is out anyway?" he looks around the clearing a bit, hoping it's away from the cockatrice.

Ave takes a quick survey of the clearing before looking in an direction. "i'm pretty sure we came from that direction." he walked 2 steps towards it with his heavy hooves, grimacing slightly as he wasn't careful in raising his hooves, still not used to their weight.

"also, sorry for my sudden talkative spree... and yeah, we should get leaving. thanks for saving us" He said a little nervous, not liking to speak for another person, even though he's pretty sure fire agrees on this statement, or atleast he hopes so dearly.

"Yeah, you're saving our butts here," agreed Fireseeker. "So thanks guys."

Admittedly, Fireseeker felt quite embarrassed about being lugged around on his friend's back with stone hooves, but he felt too grateful to complain much about it.

Also, he felt rather bad about insisting on adventuring the Everfree forest and being responsible for the whole situation.

Brawny was still chuckling over the fact of his stone flank, even though it's at his expense. "Lucky we found you" (sorry, I've been REALLY busy)

"yeah yeah. just...don't do anything dangerous while i'm napping, okay fire? and brawny, i know your flank is stone and all, but do you mind helping ave out there? his hooves are stone, so he's probably having trouble walking..."

"thanks for noticing" he said with a smile, kinda wanting the help Gemini was talking about.

"i feel so stupid for not heeding the warnings now..oh well, it's in the past" Ave sighed and changed his face from a small frown into a calm and rather blank expression.

"Duly noted," Fireseeker said to Gemini.

Another wild howl erupted from the forest, not to far away from everypony. Fireseeker couldn't help but feel a little on edge. He constantly looked around him, fearing at any moment that some huge animal would leap out at them.

Sighing, Fireseeker nodded in agreement to Ave and apologised.

"Sorry about dragging you into this with me."

Brawny gets a little nervous from the how and puts Ave on his back "Just ignore it and let's Cheese it outta here"

"yes, well i don't know exactly how fast we can 'cheese it' at the moment, but it is a good idea to move as quickly as possible." gemini starts to head in the direction ave pointed out to him earlier, moving as quickly as he can with fire on his back.

As they were going back, Ave being carried by Brawny, he yawned sleepily.
"i wonder... how late it is..." He mentioned, still awake, but not exactly lively either.

He let his eyes drift off elsewhere, as if he wasn't there anymore.
While he stared, he wore a relaxed and calm smile.

"I don't know how late it is dude," Fireseeker replied wearily.

He was starting to feel tired too but couldn't sleep since they were still in the Everfree. That and the fact that he was being carried on Gemini's back which wasn't exactly comfortable. Jokingly, Fireseeker commented to him.

"Hey, wanna watch where your trotting? I'm not going to give you a tip at this rate."

Brawny gets a little annoyed from walking so much "Are we almost outta here or are we lost?"

gemini rolls his eyes a bit." man, you guys sound like kids on their way to a vacation spot. 'are we there yet? i gotta go to the bathroom. brother hit me.'" he says, chuckling at the end of the joke.

( Ave said to skip his go, apparently... )

"Don't worry Brawny, I can see the edge of the forest," Fireseeker informed him, gesturing a hoof in front of him.

Just ahead of them, the trees thinned out, with Ponyville in sight beyond them. Fireseeker felt so relieved to find safety that he simply had to make a joke.

"Geez, I'm surprised finding our way out wasn't harder," he commented, grinning as his eyes set on Brawny's stone backside. "It could have been a real pain in the flank."

Brawny chuckles at his remark and jokes along "Keep it up and I'll sit on ya. I'm so glad we got out I could kiss the ground right now"

Ave looked in the bright sky, and would cover an eye with one of his stone hooves, but they were too heavy at the moment, he let out an annoyed grunt at the bright light and good weather. he prefferred the gloomy weather by far, however the lack of danger did appeal to him.

"So, where do we go to try and get our hooves and flanks back too normal?" he questioned, not knowing the lay out of all of ponyville that well yet, as a newcomer.

"hmm...good question...you guys got any ideas?" gemini asks, thinking of ponies that might be able to turn their stone hooves( and flank) back to normal.

"Well..."

To this, Fireseeker was at a lose. His first instinct was a hospital. He didn't know for sure if Ponyville even had a hospital, let along anyway to fix stone body parts. Then something clicked.

"We should fight magic with magic," he stated, "We need another unicorn."


( If anyone knows a unicorn, know would be a good time :P )

So we need more magic to get rid of the magic? Is this ever gonna end?

(Sorry, I was stumped for quite a while)
