Into the Void

Tal'jin and Spike came across Foal Mountain.

"Tal'Jin where are we going again?" Spike said as he rubbed his eyes.

"We were planning on going to the Frozen North, but change of plans, were going to Vanhoover, Southwest of here."

"Why?" Spike asked.

"Because I have a couple friends there that could help me out."

"Ok."

Just as they started walking, an arrow came towards them, luckily Spike noticed and burned the arrow into dust.

"Alright! Who did that!" Spike ferociously yelled.

"I don't know, but that has happened before, it was even the same type if arrow."

"What do you mean?"

Tal'Jin put Ver'Zin down slowly, uncovering the hole in his chest. "Oh my gosh, what, I-I'm sorry."

"It's fine it wasn't your fault. This is why I'm going to the Frozen North, they're is a whole city they're and I feel that they can help him, I would of originally had the healers at my town heal him, but the arrow was poisoned in such a way, that only the healer of the Frozen North would even have a chance to heal him, it's a slow poison, but if I take too long, he will die, and after that, without Celestia, there is nothing I can do for him."

"Well I guess that makes us even." Spike said. "Because we both lost someone special, I lost Twilight, you lost him."

"Yeah, I guess, but we need to get to Vanhoover, fast, we only have about 3 months to get to the Frozen North."

"Three months! Thats not enough time, going to Vanhoover that will take like a month, then from there it will take another four months!"

"Then we will just have to go faster."

"But, even with a carriage it would take over 3 months!"

"Then we will have to move faster on foot, ponies can usually run faster on their feet then on carriage, beacuse ponies pull carriages which makes it slower, but easier, but if we move on feet then we will move faster, so that is what we need to is move on foot the whole way."

"One thing, going to Vanhoover will make it take longer."

"Yes and no, if we get my friends we will be able to move faster, but still it's a risk but we have to do it."

"Ok, one question how did you make friends in Vanhoover? That's like a month and a half away from The Badlands!'

"Long story, I'll talk about on the way to Vanhoover."

Tal'Jin and Spike smiled and he started talking about it.
