The Secret Sisters

~Daring Do

    A machete whipped through the humid air as I sliced away branches. I stopped and reached for my map and translated the hieroglyphics, it said that I was mile away from the Stone of Bits. I continued to slice through the thick vegetation when I heard something I had never heard before. I thought it was thunder at first, but thunder can't make the ground shake, can it? I heard something that sounded like snapping wood, but it was LOUD! I flew up onto a high tree and tried to look for signs of where the sound came from.

   I could only see for a small distance, since the fog was so thick. I saw a dark figure ahead, but I couldn't make out what it was, I flew closer but it only seemed to fade away. Then, THWACK! I flew headfirst into something that was most likely a tree. The most humiliating thing I've ever done. I flew over to the right and flew straight when again, THWACK! I felt dumbfounded and flew far to the left, THWACK! I couldn't see what I was running into, but it was big. I flew up, down, every possible direction, and each time... THWACK! Then I finally realized what it was, a hill. Yes, a hill.

   I flew up into the clouds and finally passed it, though moments after flying passed the peak of the hill, a thunderous crack roared and seemed to echo through the entire forest again. I turned around and stood hooves planted firmly on the ground. Another thunderous crack. And another. And another. Until, it finally happened, the ground shook uncontrollably, I fell, tumbling down to the ground, and the huge hill broke in two.
