~Daring Do

    Everyday was the same boring routine. Rainbow Dash tried to keep a conversation up, but I didn't feel like talking, there wasn't much to actually chat about. So we just stayed silent, only hearing our hoofsteps, breaking branches, and other animal calls. Rainbow seemed to be more and more worried every day, she was scared about her home, I could tell, she tried not to talk about the destruction of anything in her dimension, so I stayed quiet about mine.

   One morning Rainbow Dash woke up extremely early, it didn't seem like a big ordeal until she started talking to herself, and even stumbling around when she walked. I told her to relax, we didn't travel as much that day, we only had about 15 miles until we reached Saddle Arabia. After around 4 days of walking, the climate grew hotter, the trees seemed to thin out, and the soil grew dryer.

   I pulled out the map and scanned our surroundings, we were only 3 miles away from the Stone of Bits. "Come on Rainbow, we can fly 3 miles before sundown, can't we?!" I shouted back to her, she nodded confidently and we darted off, racing to beat the sun to the finish line. We were about a mile away when I glanced at the horizon, it was inching closer to the ground, I flew faster, and noticed a structure ahead. "I can see it! Come on Daring lets hurry! We're almost there!" Rainbow Dash yelled, pushing both of us faster.

    We reached the top of a large hill of sand, I noticed the Stone of Bits at the foot of the hill. I tumbled and rolled down the hill and stopped right before a gleaming silver foundation. I looked up and saw a statue of a book and a bag of bits, shining bright gold in the afternoon sun. "What are those weird pictures on the back of this?" Rainbow asked concerned. "Oh those? Those are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, it's not that hard to read em'. It says: 'To reveal the entrance, discover your unknown relative.'" I answered. Rainbow Dash and I both had the same thing in mind, 'An unknown relative?' We glanced at each other in perfect sync, with questioning expressions.

  I finally realized it, Rainbow Dash had the same eyes, mane, tail, wings, and even the same attitude as I did. My eyes bulged out of my head, and my mouth dropped to the floor. "Uh... You ok there buddy?" She asked nervously, she took a small step back with a cautious look on her face. "What do ya mean 'buddy', don't you mean SISTER?" I asked carefully, not wanting to mix up my words. Rainbow Dash took a giant step back, her eyes grew huge, and she became speechless.
