CHAPTER 1
She was lying on a cold, hard, stone ground. Her eyes opened. The first thing noticable was the cold stones she was lying on, she froze, shivering from the cold. Water drops dropping on the ground was the only thing she was able to hear, and it was loud in the silence. From lying to a sitting position, she looked around her with a slight headache as she put her head against her forehead. It was dark, it was cold. 'I don't know this place'. She had no idea where she was, she had no idea how she got here or where "here" is. She sat there in the dark with her eyes open for around 10 minutes to adapt to the darkness. A disgusting scent struck her nose. She smelled something dead, something rotten, something disgusting. Helplessly sitting there, she could not find out what this smell was since the darkness blinded her, reducing her field of vision. She had to sit there in the dark being tortured by the disgusting scent, almost throwing up now and then.
When she turned to look what was around her, she saw where the smell came from.
Apart from seeing darkness, amongst the black she saw a figure covered in red.
There was a male corpse, that has already grown big from the gases inside of it, that are produced when flesh rots. "A corpse? Why is there a corpse in here?!" she said quietly to herself, panicking lightly. Her heart started beating faster and faster for every second that passed, and panicking increased over time. She stood up carefully, approached the corpse with caution, step by step. She calmly sits down on her knees and investigates the body from close up. It was impossible for her to go that close to a rotting corpse without throwing up, so she closed her nose with two fingers and looked at the victim's face. Luckily nobody she has in mind. She crawled away in disgust, gasping for fresh air and leaned against the warm suddenly warm wall. Sitting there, leaning against the wall, she closes her eyes and thinks, tries to calm herself down. What happened? Why am I here? Where am I?
A long time of thinking back, she finally remembers. She started to remember where she was. It looked like the catacombs of an ancient castle; there was a metallic clicking some feet away, that kicked her back to reality. Without further thinking, she quickly tried to make plans on how to get out of this "cell" she was in. She stood up and walked around the room with her hands infront of her, making her way from corner to corner in order to see how big the room she is in was. Taking small, careful steps, she has her hands infront of her swaying with them to find a wall. The darkness made her feel helpless. Daring knew that taking immediate action and staying calm was the best solution to a situation like this. She touched something, it was, a wall. She turned left and did the same thing, and then again, 3 times.
She felt bars. Rusty, old iron bars that were cold on her hands, freezing cold- as she tries to budge them. The bars felt loose.
"Well, if you can call this a cell, with those weak bars..." she mumbled into the cold air.
Daring gripped two bars firmly with her hands, able to bend the bars to get out. The bars made a loud, ear-scratching noise. She bent the bars and squeezed through with her slim body, making it an easy escape. She got out of the cell, but it was just as dark here. The temperature was warmer inside the cell, strangely.
She continues to look around her. Even in complete darkness she looked around with her hands infront of her, walking, like she did in the cell she was imprisoned in. Daring pulled her back and snuck against a wall, walking toward a corner. She saw light. There was light around the corner, sighing in relief. Step by step, she quietly snuck against the wall. Around the corner, she slowly moved her head and peeked out to see... She saw a guard with shiny golden armor facing her with his back, as well as a torch hanging on the stone wall. But this guard didn't look like your ordinary prison guard. The torch casted light upon the guard and showed a horrifying figure. This guard didn't have normal skin color like normal people, it was as dark as the night, pure black, making the guard invisible in complete darkness. The girl quickly darted around a corner, crouching, in hope he didn't hear her bare feet tappsing on the cold stone ground.
She turned around the corner, finding herself in a long and dark corridor leading to nowhere. Torches on both sides, she couldn't even see the end of it. With extreme caution, she snuck close to the cold wall, constantly looking behind her, then infront of her repeadetly. She walked a few feet, and all was quiet. All there was to hear for her were the water drops dropping on the stone ground and the torches flicking. She stopped. It has been quiet all along, but this quite was 'suspicious', she had in mind. Then, out of nowhere, she felt something touch her shoulder, grabbing it softly. A ghost, a spirit, a guard? Her face became chalk white and she turned stiff as a statue, eyes widely open of fear. As she felt the hand touch her right shoulder, all the torches quenched, fading into complete darkness.
Daring woke up with a tiny scream escaping from her lungs, from lying to a sitting position. Breathing heavily of panic, she noticed she was not imprisoned at all. She was still in her cozy, warm cottage, with the fur carpet and her wooden writing desk, inside her room. With a smile, she closed her eyes of relief, sighing. She had to be slept in while writing her latest story. The room was lit up by the bright sun. It was bright outside, it was very early in the morning. As Daring looked out the big window in front of her bed, she saw the sun shine upon the horizon above the trees. She heard the birds chirping. With a blush, she looked at the table where she uses to write her stories, to see she drooled all over the papers she took notes on- leaving a mess of things all over her desk. While looking around the room, she noticed something was different from what she remembered. There was an unkown letter on the table, sealed with wax and an emblem with a monkey and eagle on it. 'Was I supposed to send a letter to somebody? I didn't put that there...' she thought. Out of curiousity, she stood up from her comfortable, soft bed to open it. As tired as she was, curiosity took the best of her, forcing her to open it of wonder. Taking small steps towards her desk, she picked up the white envelope and opened it. Daring sat down and came to see it was a handwritten letter, saying:
"Dear Daring,
I sure know I am a stranger to you, but you have to trust me, your land is in great danger if you don't act now." Written in such beautiful handwriting.
-Anonymous
"Well, this was kept short", Daring sighed depressingly, looking down at the desk covered in notes.
Attached was a strange looking map, showing a landscape which was detailed with some trees here, and some lakes there, but there was a red circle drawn around some point near a valley scribble.
Daring took immediate action, knowing that a letter with such handwriting cannot be fake. She immediately got her maps and books to find out what landscape the map shows, but Daring wasn't familiar with what she had before her eyes. As she ran down the stairs in a hurry, she scrabbled through her collection of books in the big bookshelf against the wall. Daring threw the books from the bookshelf, letting it fall to the floor, looking at title's.
After merely 20 seconds of searching, Daring found a book, a green, very dusty, old looking book. "Undiscoveries", was the title of the book. She sat down on the chair by the table of curiosity and shoved away the dust from the cover with her hand, scribbling fast through the book, page after page after page. Daring found it, reading just a small paragraph marked in yellow. Page 68. She found out it was an island called "Bah´ia". 'Strange name.' Looking back at the map, she found the Island, very far away from Equestria. Very far away. With the book in one hand and the map in the other, she compared the distance, and it was scary much, but if someone takes the long journey on her, it has to be urgent, and she needs a break from writing anyways- while thinking of how to get there. Barely needing to plan, the first person that popped up in her mind was Whooves. Well, Dr. Whooves. It was no surprise she thought of him..
He has this old plane, it is a seaplane. It is able to land on both water and land, which could be a great advantage for her long journey, and since Whooves owes her a favor, this was her only opportunity- most likely the fastest way, as well. Breaking her from her focus, she wonders what shook her out of her dream. Remembering the dream, it was a strong hand, it felt soft, while moving her hand over her shoulder.
Daring sighed long and quiet, depressingly looking down at the dark floor...
"It will never work anyways..", she told herself with a soft voice, quietly. But Daring knew she couldn't hesitate, 'it is urgent to act now'- putting on an intimidating face. Without putting the book back in it's place, she closed it, slamming loudly as she dropped it on the table.
She stood up from the chair she sat in for so long, it was polstered very well, for the long working hours. Getting dressed, she grabbed her hat and went towards the front door, checking if she got everything she needed.
"Hat? Check.
Belt with knife and compass? Check.
Machete and backpack? Check.
Knife in the right boot? Check." She said rushingly while looking around the room.
She then turned off all the lights in her cottage, setting her destination to Whoove's house. A long walk through the woods stands before her.
Leaving her warm cottage, a long walk through the tree-covered landscape, she followed a trail from her cottage leading to Whoove's house. Daring has visited him before, more than just visited. It was a long time ago since Daring has seen Whoove's. She felt happy while walking. With a smile, she walked all the way to her destination, thinking back in time.
After a 40 minute long walk, she noticed a door in the distance, between the green trees. As the door comes closer and closer, she arrives. The door, covered in metal parts looked intimidating from the outside, making it not-so-visitor friendly. She took a breath before knocking. She still thinwith him. Many picturesks of what she had flew by in her mind, romantic pictures, erotic pictures of intense moments. 'But all this is now over'. It all happened in a second. She knocks, and waits 30 seconds, 30 seconds of pure silence, leading to no response. She hears nothing, but as she knocks again, she hears Whoove's sweet voice saying:
"Who's there?"
She hasn't heard his voice for quite a while, it was tough for her. With a deep breath before replying, she continued with: "Daring here." Sounding concerned. Daring heard the footsteps against the floor from inside coming closer to the door. An odd, but long pause before she continued. "I need your help."
Whoove's heard her concern, he knew something was going on. Something was wrong.
The door slightly opened as the door creaked loudly. The creaking sound coming from the door was unbearable, like nails scratching against a board. The door was barely open. Through a crack, Daring could see an eye staring at her. Whoove's opened the big wooden door, and he showed up. Daring couldn't hide the smile, she was happy to see him after such a long time, forcing it to slightly show. With a worrying look on his face, he symboled her to come inside with his hands. He was afraid she was being followed. She stepped inside and looked around, while Whoove's was looking around outside, from left to right, to see anyone else- closing the door silently behind him. Her eyes got caught by the couch. They had their first time on it. The good memories struck her. Daring turned towards Whooves and looked into his truthful eyes, blushing, like they were unable to lie.
"I need you and your plane, Turner."
"For what?" He asked in slight disbelief, looking confused.
"You will see by time, make sure you can stay in the air for 9 hours." She replied harshly.
By hearing that, Whooves expression went from worried to even more worried. "9 hours, that's quite a time." They looked into each other's eyes. 'Daring seems to be awfully serious about what is going on', Whoove's thought in concern. After thinking around while scratching his chin, as Daring looked around, he grabbed his backpack from the shelf in the corner of the room and signed Daring to follow him. Daring noticed it, and understood it wasn't a backpack. Whoove's carefully opens the door, as the creaking sound is even more intense than before. Daring stood behind him, desperately waiting to leave. As Whoove's steps outside, Daring followed him, closing the heavy door behind her. They leave his house and follow the same trail Daring walked to arrive at Whoove's. But only halfway back. Daring wondered why they were going back. 'Are we going back to my cottage?' she thought. But she trusted Whoove's, so she didn't say a word.
They must have for walked for 20 minutes at least, and still haven't spoken much. The flashbacks got the best of them, making it too awkward to talk to each other like normal "friends". It wasn't a fun walk, not for Daring, at least. As they were halfway back, Whoove's stopped, so did Daring. Without asking, she wondered why they suddenly stopped walking. The path didn't end there... Whoove's walked to some of the bushes at the side of the trail, while she looked at him with a strange glance. Covered with green bushes and trees, it wasn't easy to look around you. He squeezed his hands between the bushes and seperated them, revealing a hidden trail leading to someplace. Daring was surprised, very surprised. Whoove's squeezed his body through the bushes and Daring followed. The climate suddenly changed, it looked more like a swamp. "Just follow this trail and don't get lost", Whoove's said after a long time of silence. "It will only take a couple of minutes before we get there". The trail was very slim and it was covered in leaves, vines and branches. Daring, almost tripping over the branches and roots grown from the trees, was almost unable to see the trail. With another awkward rather difficult walk, they finally arrived at where the plane was tied to an old dock. The water, as green as it was, looked beautiful. As for the plne, it was pretty small and out of shape, not really making it a beautiful view. She wasn't too sure if the plane would fly properly, she put on a worrying face. It was rusty all over the bottom and squeaked with ever small wave that hit it. They stood still, and out of the blue, Daring asks with a sigh:
"Will this piece of scrap fly for sure, Turner?" She asked with a small sound of sarcasm in her voice.
Turner ignored her and stepped on the dock, which was squeaking as well, and the wooden planks bent under his weight, to a point near breaking in half. Whoove's looked overconfident about it, and climbed aboard without worries. Daring walked the scary docks towards and climbed into the old and untrustworthy looking plane. "Nor did it look promising from the inside", said Daring, as Whoove's looked at her wih a grunt. She knew Whooves was overconfident about it, but "as long as it flies", it would be enough, as she felt the waves hitting the plane.
Whoove's sat in the pilot seat, flicking levers and pushed buttons, which caused beeping and flashing lights. Daring was sitting in the back, looking slightly worried. They felt the waves hitting the plane beneath, feeling the plane go up and down. Whoove's was fully concentrated, but Daring knew Whoove's was an experienced pilot, not over-worrying. As the waves hit the plane, and after all buttons and levers were in the correct position, Whooves said she should fasten her seatbelt and sit down while they take off. As they accelerated, the start on the water felt like a boat going too fast. It gained speed and caught air, slowly lifting up, leaving the shaking of the waves behind and the sky, blue as the sea itself, in front of them, as Daring felt the pressure. She was impressed the plane could lift at this altitude.
The awkward silence continued while flying as well and even intensified after Whoove's wanted to start a sentence and cut himself off, Daring hearing a stutter. The only thing they heard was the loud engine and the propellor. From that moment on, Daring kept checking her parachute Whoove's gave her over and over again. She checked if the fabric was okay, if the strings are strong enough to hold her weight, if all opens up at the right time and if it is big enough to slow her down.
Daring knew she couldn't possibly be awake for nine hours, she would be tired when she arrives, which is a disadvantage, so she decided to get some rest. Fatigue was her weakness. 'A long and dangerous journey lies ahead,' she thought, 'it's for the best.', as Whoove's takes her to her destination and sours through the skies..
She wakes up a couple of hours later, fully rested. Daring stood up from the floor and looked out the small plastic window to her right. Looking down at the ocean, no land was to be found but the island. The island was coming closer. The beauty is irresistable to stare at, as if it was impossible to take your eyes off of such a beauty, as the sun reflects on the ocean. "We're here", said Whoove's with a positive attitude. Daring forced a smile.
She saw hills and mountains covered with trees, mile-long beaches with sand and rocks, she saw caves in the mountains that were touching the sea and lakes on the island itself. After letting her eyes see the wonder, she looked back at Turner, lifting an eyebrow and looking at him questioning, he looked at Daring and nodded. That was her signal that she was free to jump out and start her search and adventure on the undiscovered island- looking untouched. Daring opened the right-side door. It was tough considering the air hitting the plane. The cold, freezing air struck her, thinking of the name ''Bah'ia'', and closing her eyes when she lets herself fall backwards into the freezing cold air of the heights.
While falling down out of the cold blue sky with her back facing the ground, Daring closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of fresh, cold air hitting her face and her hands, hearing the sound of the engine from the plane slowly fading into complete silence, only hearing the whizzing of the wind by her ears. She opened her eyes and saw the plane slowly vanishing in the skies. It felt like she fell in slow-motion, time went so slow. As the sun shun upon the plane, she realized how fast she actually fell and quickly made herself ready to activate her parachute. 'A perfect moment ruined'. At the correct height, she pulled the string from her parachute while hoping everything will work. Seeing herself fall at a dangerous speed she pulled the string, and the parachute activated, giving her a sudden, shocking stop. It felt like her guts shot up her throat- a gross feeling. The parachute suddenly caught so much air. Daring looked down at the gorgeus but dangerous beauty of the island, staring at it as if she never has seen anything like it before. She steered to the safest place to land. 'I need to land somewhere safe, somewhere without trees'. Her obvious choice was the beach- slowly coming closer to the ground. She saw the island come closer and closer, maneuvering and landing safely but hard on the sand, and sighed in relief- happy to set her feet on land after a long flight. After a safe landing, she took off her parachute and immediately tried to localize where she was; by grabbing the map that was attached to the letter out of her backpack.
The sun was blazing hot, the heat was unbearable- even for Daring Do. By looking around, she tried to find some landmarks she would be able to find on the map, but there was nothing. Just tall trees and thick vines. It would have needed 5 men to surround one single tree, they were humongous. And small rocks that looked like the edges were washed round by water. Suddenly, breaking the silence but the loud waves smashing against the rocks on the beach, she heard something. It wasn't something you hear everyday. As Daring turned around, there was..... Nothing. 'I am not alone', she noted in her mind, knowing there are unkown presences in the jungle; while putting the map back where it was and heading off, following the compass needle pointing to the West. "I need to keep my eyes peeled", was her first action for safety. Daring stood still and took her time, staring at the tall trees and the green vines hanging. A walk from the beach up to the entrance of the massive jungle, she entered with caution, knowing that anything could kill her- anytime when she least expects it.
By stepping on the green grass and the leaves of the jungle, she knows that this place doesn't take it easy on somebody who steps in this territory.
Surrounded by the major, absolutely humongous jungle trees and vines, Daring couldn't see through the thick vines blocking her field of view. Only small cracks through the bushes. Not being able to see what is around you makes a huge disadvantage, so she improvised. Daring took out her machete from her backpack she had with her to cut the thick, green vines to create a path for her to walk- knowing that it could come to good use. She walked and swayed her shiny machete from left to right, cutting her way through, also giving her better vision of her surroundings. The thick vines were rough to cut through, they were very strong, capable of withstanding a strike from a sharp bladed object. Sometimes it even took more than just one strike to cut the thick vines.
After swaying her machete back and forth for around 2 hours through the deep jungle with exhausted arms, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking wood again. Somewhere behind her. Daring heard the swaying of the machete and the branches that cracked under her boots, but it sounded different. This time, she didn't turn around quickly. Daring looked around, standing completely still. She saw nothing. Nothing but the leaves falling from the trees and the birds flying around her. She turned back and took 2 steps forward and then turned around as quickly as possible. With the last blink of an eye, she saw a shadow, a strange figure disappearing quickly behind some bushes a few feet away. She was feeling uncomfortable now, a gross feeling in her stomach appeared, she felt nauseated, knowing there is something lurking behind her, not knowing if it is harmful or not. By her fear, she was alerted, and heard every sound around her. Birds humming their songs, branches who's leaves were moved slowly by the wind, even the leaves falling down. She did not hear the steps again nor see a shadow anywhere beside the ones casted by the plants.
She continued walking through the tough terrain swaying around with her machete.
For a long time, she heard nothing, only the birds chirping and the sticks cracking underneath her boots, the swaying of her machete against the vines, but all of a sudden, something whizzed by, close by her ear, nearly scratching it. Out of reflex, she ducked. Daring acted after only a split-second and quickly found cover behind one of the massive trees, hearing angry and disappointed sounding shouts all over the place, surrounding her. "People?!" Daring shouted in panic. She knew she was being ambushed. Daring crouched behind the big tree, hearing hey were speaking in a tongue unknown to her. It sounded ancient, like Hebrew. 'They had to be natives', she pointed out to herself. She slipped out a smile saying 'I am definetly not alone'.
She packed all her power together in order to keep calm and think of a plan as quickly as possible, how to lose these guys, how to get out of here in one piece. If she doesn't act now, this could be the end of her trip, but Daring wasn't planning on stopping here. When those people spoke, she heard pauses. They spoke, then it went silent. But then they spoke again, shouting, screaming all around her,
making it difficult to remain calm and think of what to do to escape. "Fighting these guys would be useless", since she didn't even know where they were. She imagined the map infront of her closed eyes, remembering it from earlier, thinking back. The screaming and shouting was intense, Daring couldn't focus as she heard the voices come closer to her. 'To the south was the scribbled valley!', was all she needed to know. She had a plan that could work. She could make it out alive.
Rushed, she stood up, still in cover, leaning against the large tree, waiting to hear voices again to trace where they were. As the people chasing her spoke again, she knew they were coming closer by every second she waits. Daring could hear how far away they were. The vines and leaves make it impossible to see where they were. "Now or never", and darted away from the tree, to the south where the valley was. Sprinting with all her energy, running from the unkown voices that are after her, away from danger, away from what is here to kill her. She ran with all her might, and Daring heard the voices slowly fade away as she sprinted through the thick and dangerous jungle. Branches hit her face, scratches her legs and cuts her arms.
After running for a little while through the jungle, she got away from the attackers, the voices were not to be heard. Daring decided to slow down a tad and keep her eyes open for her native followers- while looking around wildly. She had to catch her breath. Her legs were in brutal pain from the branches and thorns cutting her. She wondered why they wanted to kill her, to get rid of her. Was it because of the land she was walking on un-invited? is this jungle someone's property? But it didn't matter, 'At least I got away- alive.' She gasps for air after the intense running, exhausted.
Finally, when she caught her breath and looked around the perimeter, she took out her machete from her backpack and cut some of the vines around her to see where she was. Giving mighty strikes, the vines were seperated and as she cut the last couple of vines in front of her, the valley appearing. It was hidden behind the vines, it proves that it was nearly impossible to see through. Daring had to stop to stare at this beauty. Her eyes widely opened of unbelief. There were flying birds of all imaginable colors in the humid warm air, waterfalls off the cliff that surrounded the valley on 200 of 360 degrees, and all the trees, small and tall, they were smelling fresh and natural. She looked down to see a scary, steep drop down. Out of fascination, she nearly forgot that she has followers. "This kind of hesitation would get me killed", Daring said to herself with a soft voice, and snapped out of it.
Suddenly, Daring heard the native's behind her again. Voices suddenly appearing louder and louder as she turned her head back. They weren't shouting this time. She could hear the men whispering, crawling through the bushes, sneaking. She was being ambushed again, she heard the men coming from her right and left. But they are no match for Daring. The voices came closer and closer, she heard them louder and louder, and the razzling in the bushes could be heard caused by their movement. Daring had no other choice but to do so.
When the native warriors showed up from behind the bushes and in the cover of the treeline, Daring saluted to the native's and put on a "no-worries" smile, just to take a step back, and fall down the steep cliff. With a blink of an eye, she saw one of her native followers. The only thing she could see was their bare skin, only clothing to cover the privates. They were heavily tanned, not so strange for people who live on a very sunny island.
The feeling of falling seemed to last for ever, even if it just lasted a blink of an eye long, she thought of so much and pictures of her trip flying by, like in the stories, facing the light blue sky. Then the painful, sudden impact. The slam against the hard ground could be heard by the impact, it sounded like a bad slam. She was knocked unconcious.
The stone ground hurt her very badly. Her legs, her arms, her head. Every part of her body hurt or felt numb, lying with her back on the cold stone ground facing toward the sky. The pain was unbearable for her, as she let out an intense scream. But her plan worked. She finally lost the stalkers by her 20 feet fall, knowing it was the right thing to do, since she would have died, or even worse- get captured. Feeling weak, she fought against her eyelids closing under their own weight, which increased heavily, and fainted.
When she opened her eyes slowly, still feeling broken and her eyelids weighing tons, she saw colorful hair appearing out of nowhere, above her head tickling her nose. Daring thought it was a bird, but this hair seemed different...
She darted into a sitting position by adrenaline, feeling intense back pain and nearly hit the owner of the hair. The hair was shoulder-long, dyed in all colors of the rainbow. The girl's eyecatching hair sat beside her, smiling at her with shining, widened eyes, stuttering my name. 'Daring'.
Daring Do was confused of where she was at the moment, and obviously not where the native girl came from. They looked at each-other, and the native girl kept stuttering 'Daring?' in a relieving way, with a big smile on her face. After some seconds of staring into each-others eyes deeply, the admiring girl introduced herself- Daring, still didn't know what is going on.
"I am Rainbow Dash, my friends call me Rainbow, or Dashie", she said rushed and held her hand out, with a huge smile on her face. Daring didn't get it. Was she friendly?
"I am so honored to meet you" she added quickly afterwards.
When Daring accepted and gripped her hand, she felt how soft it was, the skin felt soft as best Equestrian fabric, and was a bit sweaty, maybe caused by the humid air. The hand seemed familiar... She kept staring into the girl's eyes, something in them caught her and let fantasies play through her mind, fantasies she should not be having.
She nodded and said with a broken voice: "Happy to see you too, but how did you get here? and should I know you?" she asked interested and in disbelief of this being real.
The girl jumped up into a straight stance looking at her "Rainbow Dash, incarnation of the element of loyalty", she said proudly.
Daring just nodded, wanting to keep her nose high, and asked dry: "And how in Celestia's name did you get here?", but deep inside she felt explosions everytime she looked at the girls face, explosions in her body. Feeling great like never before. Daring didn't feel any pain, she felt, numb...
The girl tip toed on one point and said blushed: "The doctor sent me with you if you may get into trouble", with another smile.
At this point based on her blush towards the girl when seeing her blushed, was...... feeling love.
At this moment she thought back, to when she drove her hand over her shoulder and thought of that one girl, slowly she realized, that this girl just took her hand and smiled into her face.

Chapter 2 : Adventure, love and danger
CHAPTER 2
After her awakening and being pulled up by her new "companion", Daring walked a few steps forward with the new girl by her side- as the new girl kept stuttering and talking about her stories. She was badly hurt, groaning in pain now and then, slightly bent over with her back, so she asked the girl if she could lend a hand. Surprisingly, more than happy, she accepted, with a huge smile on her face- as Daring put her shoulder over her neck for support. Daring looked at the girl and saw her slightly blushing, trying to hold it back. Even Daring smiled a little. It was... nice, as she violently looked the other way. They weren't walking too fast because of the tremendous pain Daring had, especially in her back. She was speechless and thought of many things, but memories of the past kept sweeping her like waves hitting the shore.
'Why did Whooves send a babysitter, and why this girl? When did Whoove's deploy this girl here?' Whoove's knows Daring is better off on her own, it's like he forgot that. But deep inside, she was grateful he did so, which led to help in this sticky situation. She admitted it. Without the new girl, she would have been dead, so she put a smile on her face of gratitude. 'I have never been so grateful.' considering her life was saved by this girl called Rainbow Dash. As the girl kept talking in full happiness while they were walking, Daring realized she didn't know what direction they were heading. "Can you open my backpack and find the map?" Daring said stuttering of pain. So did the girl, stutter. "S-s-sure.." she replied. Daring saw the girl's widely open eyes, like she couldn't believe it. Daring removed her arm from her shoulder. Rainbow Dash walked to her backside as Daring had the backpack on. She opened the ziplock to find a big piece of paper, the map. She picked it up out of the backpack and handed it to Daring, with a polite "Here you are!" following with a quick "so.. where are we?" Daring investigated the map and found out they were heading right towards her destination, or "their" destination, which was marked on the strange map from the letter she received back at home. By realizing this, Daring added this to her questions she solved in her mind. Rainbow Dash walked back to her front, crouching as Daring was bent over of pain. Too busy thinking, she only later noticed that she began to stare at the girl again, deeply in her violet colored eyes. Daring only noticed it when her thoughts changed to mind blowing fantasises what would happen to them. The girl did not notice, because she was looking around, waiting.
She forced herself to get her eyes back on the map, what she is here for, stopping her movement abruptly- when she noticed where they were going. Without even sparing a glance she rated at for so long, she found out what lake they were facing. Where the marked, red circle was.
Taking her eyes off the map facing the girl, she said "This here is our first target, I have no clue what we are supposed to do here." Showing the map to her, and disappointed as she was, the girl was too- Daring said with a soft voice, still being able to hear the pain unleashing from her lungs. Rainbow Dash hoped for some intense adventures with her biggest idol and not a disappointed hero. At this moment, Dash thought of how lonely Daring must be all the time, when she goes on expeditions all by herself. With this running through her mind, she sat next to the crouched explorer, waiting for a response.
"By time, we will find out, I am sure about this." Dash said with a cheering smile on her face, enjoying how close she now was to the person she admired so much.
For these words, Daring looked at the girl thankfully and stood up, hearing cracks from her back and grunts of pain. "We better move." she said, trying to avoid how close they were to each other, but Dash liked the situation she was in. Rainbow Dash put on a worried face, and Daring started to realize that she cared about her. In all her years on this world, she learned that being in love is a great danger, altough it feels great- the main reason why she always is alone. Beside she loved the danger of her adventures, she didn't like the danger of losing her loved one just one bit. Daring put her shoulder back over Rainbow Dash's neck, seeing another blush release as she looks away. In this state Daring was in, the least she could do was to keep her eyes peeled and look at the green and brown surroundings, checking every single vine and stick. They took a few steps forward, slowly. She even watched the movements of the birds around her, who felt watched and flew away as soon as they were getting close. Jungles are known for their dangerous presences and predators. Just while mustering her surroundings, Daring felt the air beside her left ear moving fast, just for a second, and heard whizzing just like before. Rainbow Dash struck into a slight panic, saying: "What was that? Did you hear that?" Her eyes were widely open as she stood still. With all her wounds and the pain, she was slowed down a lot and couldn't move fast enough to react quickly and get cover before the second arrow stuck in the tree behind her.
Daring shouted loudly "Quick! Get cover behind that tree!" and pointed at it. As Dash took her order, she ran as fast as she could with Daring hanging on her shoulder. A huge surprise. When Daring looked at Dash, she didn't look nervous or frightened. A huge "bring it on" smile, which was not what Daring expected from a rookie. They saw arrow's flying around from in front of them and behind them, as the native's again shouted loudly. They were in the middle of the crossfire. "I thought I lost you guys!!" Daring shouted angrily at the non-english speaking people. Out of surprise, Dash removed Daring's arm from her neck and dove gracefully behind the tree, safely landing. Daring was impressed, looking at her behind cover. "Come on!! Hurry!" was heard loudly coming from Rainbow Dash. With the condition Daring Do was in, it was impossible to dive to cover, forcing her to run and fall to the ground behind the tree. They put their backs against the wide tree, and Daring slipped out "Nice dive for a rookie!" with a not-so-well sounding voice. Daring immediately noticed an intense blush on Dash's face. "Thanks.. Daring Do.."
After waiting in cover for some long felt seconds as they were heavily under fire, the native's suddenly stopped talking and firing at them. It was suspicious, very suspicious. They looked at each other's eyes deeply for some seconds, waiting to hear firing again, but nothing. They nodded. Daring slowly crawled out of cover toward the center and stood up, still noticing the pain in her back. As dangerous as it was, Daring Do stood in the middle of an open space, vulnerable to any kind of weapon- taking small steps to where they came from. While Dash looked excitedly at Daring, she whispered silently "Dash, look at the tree.." Rainbow Dash did so, and popped her head out of cover to see a rolled piece of paper on an arrow attached to the tree- around the shaft of the arrow. A nice, colorful red ribbon held together the rolled paper. As Daring stood still, looking around her, she cautiously walked towards the arrow stuck in the tree. Step after step, coming closer and closer she nervously looks around her with her eyes peeled- ready for what there is to come. As she stood beside the tree with the piece of paper, she bent down to take out her knife from her boot and continued to cut the string that held the letter onto the shaft of the arrow. Daring put back her knife in her boot and rolled open the piece of paper. Daring looked back at Rainbow Dash, she walked toward her as well. On the letter, there was written: 'You found my people. Turn to the east and walk straight all the way, you will know when you have arrived'. She said it softly and Dash was unable to hear what she said.
Just right after finishing reading this note, she noticed Rainbow standing behind her. She bent over her left shoulder, trying to read the note too and saying it out loud, and when she turned her face toward Dash she saw what her fantasies contained. An intense blush escaped. She hushed an eye onto Dashies, soft looking, filled boobs. She quickly looked away and blushed shy, forming a picture for an eternity in her head, printing her eyesight, remembering a little birthmark on her right boob and that her left one was just a little bit bigger compared to its counterpart. Strongly remembering the slightly tanned skin, the little and thin hairs on the chest, nearly invisible caused by their blonde color, right then inside of her, a whole city exploded in fireworks, the butterflies in her stomach escaped. Rainbow, noticing Darings movements, looked down at her and brave as she was always:
"It's okay to look if you don't stare" After saying this she smiled down to her companion, her biggest idol, waiting for a reaction.
In this moment, Daring slowly moved, so Rainbow would move away and stand up, looking deep into Rainbow Dash's eyes.
"You are a present for me and I appreciate your decisions, but we've got a mission to succeed on." With a very serious attitude.
As Daring and her companion stood up, she took out the compass from her left pocket pointing east, and started walking. She handed it over to Dash and said she was in charge of keeping an eye on the compass. Dash smiled. It was a very awkward situation for Daring, as she felt great remembering what she saw. Heading straight to the east, Daring Do took out her machete and started swaying again, seperating the vines to create a path. She felt that her arms still hurt after the fall and slightly grunted after every sway. Rainbow Dash heard her pain, and quickly asked with concern: "Do you want any help with that? I mean, I can take over for you?" Daring replied annoyingly since she felt embarrassed after what happened earlier: "I'm fine, just keep your eyes on the compass.." as Dash helplessly stared at the compass while Daring did the hard work. As the two adventurers walked east they came across lakes, small rivers and trillions of trees, enjoying all the smells, the views and feelings that appeared on their journey. Both shared mostly of their minds to each other, of what will wait for them at the point they were ordered to go to.
They were walking for almost two hours crossing the rivers and finding their way through the muddy jungle as Daring abruptly stopped and intensly investigated the ground, staring at fresh footsteps in the muddy jungle. Investigating at where they came from, she noticed that they were caused by bare feet, not shoes. That could either mean that whoever was going to meet the natives again, or someone lost their shoes in this deep and dangerous jungle.
They continued and they were walking for some minutes again, Dashie still supporting Daring at some times when she got weak, but still making good progress on their distance towards the point that was marked on the map.
As Daring heard a cracking of wood again, she was ready to search for cover and get them both safety within a blink of an eye. By planning this, she noticed how attached she already was to the girl, she even planned her escapes with her, not for her alone, as usual. Eyecatchingly, with dark brown hair, black looking eyes and nearly no clothes another girl appeared out of a bush.
Daring Do had her machete ready, but the girl seemed to look disarmed. Daring heard Rainbow Dash yelp quietly, still a little jumpy- she jumped behind Daring's back, as Dash looked at her with a jokingly look. 'Don't judge the cover of a book', she noted in her mind. A person might look innocent from the outside, but deeply inside they are fercious monsters ready to kill their prey.
The girl spoke, saying with a deeper-than-usual voice for a girl: "You finally found me, Daring Do.", the newly appeared girl added: "now you will find out why you are here. Come with me." Daring Do and Dash gave the girl a strange look, lifting an eyebrow, as Rainbow Dash quietly asked: "Are you sure we can trust her?" She stood still staring at the girl with a questioning face.
As some seconds passed without Daring answering, Dash shouted quietly: "Are you seriously considering this?!"
Dash could see a small smirk trespassing from Daring's face. Dash just played with it, trying to be unnoticable.
Daring Do slowly put her machete down and the girl started walking. As she turned around and stopped, the girl gave them a confident look. "Come on, then. Don't be afraid." With a luring smile following. Daring started approaching the girl, leaving Dash where she stood on the muddy jungle ground. Daring looked confident as well, so Rainbow Dash quickly followed her. "Hey, wait for me!" as they walked through the jungle, following the girl taking them someplace.
They walked again, Daring looking confident of what she was doing. Dash walked behind Daring, and Daring followed the girl in front of her. Strangely enough, after some minutes of walking through tough terrain, when they looked down, they followed a difficult-to-see path to a place that started to open. Less vines, less trees and more space. Where were they going? Peeking between the green vines, trees and bushes, many tree-brown-colored hut's appeared, just to see they arrived at the native's village. The village was hidden very well between the small hills on each side.
Huts with straw roofs and dirt walls, fires that burned cooking meat and alot of native people walking around. The smoke of the bonfires that were lit intensly covered the village with smoke, smelling like meat- as they sniffed the delicious smell in their noses. Dash was almost at the point of leaving, unable to trust the girl and the native's. As the three of them walked down to the village following a slim path, she stopped, and so did Daring and Dash. They looked around wildly, nervously. "Wait here." The girl said, and walked down, just to see a man walking up the path towards them. He was muscular and big, had a fearless look on her face, walking with his fists tightly together. He stopped, standing a few feet away from the two girls, saying with a deep, muscular voice: "Follow." They looked at each other, nodded with anxiety as the man looked tough at them. As he walked, they followed- down the slim path. This walk through the village, they saw butcher's with huge cleavers, men excersizing and even children. The big man then led them to a big, round shaped hut. There was no door but a fur covering hanging from atop the doorway. No windows, only the doorway. The man walked up the tiny staircase, creaking, making a slight breaking noise. The girls followed with caution, and went up the tiny staircase, as well hearing the breaking of the wood. As the man lifted up the fur covering the doorway, they had a quick peek inside, not being able to see anything because it was dark. It didn't look promising. Daring said with adrenaline and handed over her knife in her right boot: "If anything goes out of hand, you know what to do.." Dash gave her an intimidating look, hiding her knife in her leather jacket Dash was wearing. The man stood inside by the door and did not see them enter, so he lifted up his big arm and said: "Come!" as he removed his hand furiously, letting the fur cover the door again. Daring went first and pushed away the cover and entered, and Dash followed close by behind her.
Upon entering, all there was to it was a torch hanging on the wall to the left and fur on the poorly made wooden floor. Two hammocks on both sides of the room and a homemade chair. "Here you sleep." The muscular man said leaning against the wall beside the doorway- upon leaving. Knowing it was nothing scary, they sighed with a huge, able-to-hear relief. But that didn't mean their danger was over. As Dash was about to hand over Daring's knife, she rushed to say: "Keep it, you never know.." Rainbow Dash looked down at the wooden floor and blushed, and put it back in her jacket. Now that they were alone again, now in this situation, Daring felt her strange love come back again, just as Dashie had the same thoughts she looked at her, thinking, blushing. Dash interrupted the connection between the two and started with a loud: "Look at this place! Hammocks to sleep in? That is so awesome!" Daring quickly nodded and agreed. Dash started to look worried back at Daring: "Are you sure we can trust these people?" but she knew that Daring was an experienced explorer, adventurer, and she has gotten out of tight situations like this with no problems whatsoever. But the unexpected reply hit her: "I don't know, they seem awfully nice for who they are. Normally, these kind of people would have slaughtered you and eaten you by the minute they found out you were here." Dash was sitting on the hammock she picked out, and Daring walked to her's as well. They both sat down in the darkness, only with the small torch giving them a source of light. Daring continued to lie down, finally being able to rest- as a huge sigh of relief escaped her lungs. She was facing toward the ceiling with her eyes closed and her one hand on her forehead. Dash slowly turned her head at her, peeking at her with a blush. It was like Daring was going to pass out of exhaustion after her injury and her hard work. Rainbow noticed Daring lying half-asleep of exhaustion, and thought: 'This is my only chance, It's now or never!' As Daring peacefully rested in her comfortable, swinging hammock, Dash stood up from her's and quietly walks over to her.
Daring looked completely passed out. Her eyes were closed. Dash quietly asked Daring: "A-are you awake?" and got no response after waiting a couple of seconds of silence. Dash hesitated, but knowing that this is the only chance she will ever be this close to her, she continued to nervously bend down with her face and come closer to her. She stopped right above her, hovering her face over her's, looking wildly at her red lips. Dash closed her eyes, slightly turned her head and pressed her lips against her's, feeling the soft lips from Daring touch her lips. The butterflies that were trapped escaped out of her stomach, the fireworks that have been planted got lit and exploded, her need for arousal has just been relieved, sighing of satisfaction. Daring wakes up of surprise, slightly jumping. Her eyes opened widely, just to see Dash's face close to her's and feeling her soft lips kiss her. As she found out who it was, she relaxed and realized the satisfaction of her being this close to her made her more than just excited. She closed her eyes to make this moment perfect. As Rainbow Dash was about to back off, Daring Do opened her eyes and lifted up her hands behind her head, forcing her back to her to kiss and make it last longer.
Blushes on their faces in the kiss, Dash lifts up her knee from the ground and rests it on the hammock Daring was lying on, as Daring scooted over- making enough space for two. Rainbow Dash let herself fall ontop of the swinging hammock and climbed ontop of Daring, relieving herself. She felt more than excitement from the kiss, she felt she started to get wet down under, making this intense moment even more sexual by the moment passing. Daring felt her body pressing against Dash's, and felt their breasts squeeze. Dash reached for Darings shoulder, shoving her left hand under her back as Daring does the same with her other- deep in the kiss. Daring was extremely happy to finally release her beast from inside her she has been carrying around that pulled her down- All this time. Her shoulderblades seemed to shift, they lifted up of satisfaction.
Both should keep this hut in mind forever, this kiss, this exact moment. After this kiss, Dash slowly backed off and opened their eyes, staring in each other's, smiling excited and happy of arousal. Rainbow cautiously moved her hand down Darings injured back and the other one up to her neck, getting a soft grip of her grey hair and lustfully approached a kiss. Daring in this moment, was exploding from inside, with a satisfactory smile on her face. Her last sexual time was years ago, and this is her first ever with a girl! She was just the happiest girl in the world, and silently thanked Whooves for smuggling Dash with her.
Dash at this time, was totally overwhealmed of her first kiss, especially with her biggest idol and laid there with no peace, having awkward feeling for her excitement which caused her wetness. She was thinking of more, was thinking of filling this evening until the sun rises.
With a hopeful smirk, she looked at Daring, seeing she was still awake, smiling and eyes wide open.
"Hey", Dash whispered.
Daring looked at Rainbow, wondering what was on the lover's mind.
"Wanna share some time with me?", she asked nervously and happy, seeing daring smile.
Dash opened her arms for her, hugging her tightly and pulling her onto her chest. Blushing at the feeling of Darings hard nipples, excited as she was, she felt how she got even wetter.
The two hugged each other feeling their warmth unite. Dash lifted herself up into a knee-on-the-hammock position with a turned on smile looking down at Daring- she looking back at her excitingly. She crossed her hands and gripped her shirt on the bottom on each side- slowly lifting it up, as her fit, flat stomach became visible for Daring- trapped under Dash's body. As she continued upwards, the lower part of Dash's boobs were showing, which intensly turned Daring on. As Dash's shirt reached her face, Daring saw her boobs fully exposed- wearing no bra. She wildly threw her shirt at the floor, top all naked. Daring's mouth opened of disbelief, blushing increasing by the second passing. The erotic moment made Daring's part wet of exciteness, reaching the top level- seeing her large boobs jiggle on the hammock slightly swaying from side to side. Their wet spot's unite, and the erotic moment intensifies. Dash let's herself fall back on top of her, stopping her with her hands beside Daring's head- boobs hovering right above her head. Dash took Daring's hat she had on and put it on herself. "So, explorer. How do I look?" Daring was turned on badly, reaching her highest peak of arousal. "Are you ready to explore the undiscovered?" she says erotically, looking at Daring with a sexual look. Dash started un-buttoning Daring's vest wildly, button after button. She opened it and jerked it off her, throwing it on the floor. Daring, looking at her with a wild face, took off her t-shirt in a rush, leaving only her dogtag on. She could feel the cold steel touch her chest as Dash started kissing her furiously on her lips- feeling their breasts touch each other. They kissed intensly as Daring lifted up her hips to un-button and un-zip her jeans. As she tried pulling her jeans down, Dash happily assisted her, but stopped the kissing to do so. As Dash jerked down her jeans, the only piece of clothing covering her sweet spot was her white underwear.
Dash went back up to Daring's sweet, soft lips, kissing her gently. She started going down her neck, marking the spots where she kissed, slowly working her way down. Dash cut Daring off as she tried to say something. Dash put her two fingers on her soft lips. "Sssshhhh..." Dash slid her fingers down her chin, and got between her boobs and started going down and down. She reached her stomach and got really close to her hips, almost reaching her destination. Dash had a tempting smile on her face, halfway closed eyes and her hush continued all the way down her body. When she reached her underwear, she cautiously pulled it down with her finger on each side of Darings hips, looking at Daring. She discovered her clean shaven pubic hairs, and then what she never dreamt of being real. She stopped for a second, just to suck all the impressions into her long term mind and then continued kissing, right above her sweet area. Daring released an excited and surprised moan when her lustful lover kissed around her wet spot- and a pleased moan when she kissed right onto it, holding it. Dash tasted her idol from a whole new side, right at this moment, she didn't know why she did this, but it felt right, and Daring's taste was more than pleasant. Dash circled around her spot, getting all wet of the excitement building up, and Dash jumped with her tongue right onto it- hearing a loud moan escaping Daring's lungs. Daring, happy as she was, just laid her head back, enjoying the feeling of Dash's warm lips and tongue on her wet lower body. Daring moved her body and gripped the hammock tightly of pure bliss, letting out minor moans increasing over time as Dash pleased her- biting her lips. Dash calmly touched her clit with her tongue and heard Daring's joy as she circles around it. Dash changed the pace, slowly, then faster, adapting to Daring's nature.
Dash switched from tongue to her two fingers. As her spot was all wet, Dash circled around it as moans flew out of Daring's mouth.
She came closer and closer to her outer lips, slightly changing the pace depending on her satisfaction meter. Daring became joyful by the moments passing, hearing louder moans and greater satisfaction. Daring felt it. "Don't stop, please!!." As Daring moaned louder than ever before, cumming right on Dash's hand. Her need of satisfaction met it's highest peak, slowly breathing out of pure joy. Daring breathed heavily as Dash saw her chest go up and down- lying there with her head down on the hammock, resting after such intense arousal.
When the night progressed and Dash did her work, the feelings got more intense and Daring wanted to give Dash a favor in return. As Dash was done with her art of work, she lifted up her head and looked at Daring with an erotic smile. Her whole sweet spot was wet of the pure excitement and pleasure Dash has given her, her juices everywhere around her legs. Daring rolled ontop, and Dash laid down on the hammock where Daring laid, switching positions. With a huge smile, Daring blushed at Dash- still breathing heavily. Slowly, Daring slid her fingers down her body, through the passage between her boobs right aiming for her navel. Dash smirked erotically. When passing her navel, Darings fingers found their place of desire, feeling that Dash was shivering slightly of motivation. Dash was laying still, shivering of exciteness as Daring took off her jeans & underwear and immediately threw them on the floor besides her vest and shirt. She moved her fingers slowly in circles at Dash's outer lips, her pleasant point discovering her true desire.
Dash moaned loud of Daring getting to it so fast, then her shivering grew into real shaking, she was scared too, since this was her first sexual experience ever. Daring, happy to hear the moan, seeing it as a compliment for her actions, continued a bit slower and lowered her head, taking away her fingers. When Darings soft wet and warm lips touched Dash, she closed her eyes, ready for the feelings about to rush through her. Daring slowly closed her mouth around Dashs outer lips and kissed it, adding a bit of tongue action at the second attempt, hearing Dash's moans get louder and more excited, and feeling her legs trying to close just for a second, caused by her fear. But after her mind found back to reality again, she relaxed again and smiled happy as she bit her lips, looking a bit down to Daring- seeing her hair and head slightly move with every kiss she gave her, adding more tongue every time. She shook all over her body when daring unexpectedly was playing with Dashies clit, just with the tip of her tongue, making Dash's moans and pleased feels explode, just when she speeded up, Dash nearly shouted.
"Don't stop!" At this moment, all of Dash's muscles flexed for a second, just to relax in the next one. She felt how her sweet spit got covered in wetness all over as she came, feeling a bit running down her leg.
Daring crawled back to the top of her, wildly kissing Dash's heavy breathing mouth.
"Wow..." Was the one word coming from the mouth of a pleased Rainbow Dash. Daring rolled over besides her, laying on her back, just like Dash. The heavy breathing coming from the two girls slowly faded away after time, just as Daring rolled over facing Dash- seeing her with her eyes closed. The extreme exhaustion from the pleasure given to both was heavy, and Dash fell asleep after mere seconds. Daring knew she has accomplished what she wanted, and slipped out a smirk. As they both laid in one hammock- completely naked, Daring smiled and rolled over and slowly closed her eyes, but Daring couldn't sleep. Not because she's not tired, but she thought of what she just did minutes ago. It was unbelievable, also that Dash could sleep this fast. She was up for maybe 2 hours long, thinking of what happened, finally forfilling her true desire after years of bearing her sexual beast deep inside her.
When the first sun rays snuck through the doorway with the fabric inside of it, Dash woke up slowly with tired eyes, seeing Daring sleep next to her, cuddling onto her a bit and her and on Dashie's leg. Yet it was dark, the doorway was bright, noticing the daylight upon them. When seeing this romantic picture, she laid her head back onto the hammock and looked at the ceiling, letting the past night play through her mind once more. Suddenly she got all the tastes back in her mouth, enjoying it. Daring lying besides her snored loudly, accepting this is a success of pleasing her.
A fearful grimace appeared on her face when she heard footsteps outside the hut getting closer to them, reaching the cracky stairs.
She knew it would be bad if they would get caught together. Without a second of thinking, she quickly covered them both with their jackets and laid down lying completely still. She hoped the person getting closer would turn around and go back. Daring and Dash were now covered in their clothing. Dash could clearly see she was still asleep as she was facing her. Dash's heart began to race and beat intensly, as she heard the cracking of the wood, step by step. Then, she heard the "door" open. She heard the heavy fur covering fall down hanging as the person who entered lifted it up- letting it drop down.
Dash knew that the hut was all dark. The torch wasn't lit, and only the sunlight would allow any light inside as the covering on the door blocked it.
As Rainbow Dash breathed silently and laid still in hope she wouldn't get caught, she noticed something bad. Daring woke up. She opened her eyes to find herself in a tight and dark spot. She thought she was captured and put in a coffin with Dash, so she started to panic slightly. Dash cut her off as she tried to say something- swiftly grabbed her by her shoulder whispering with short words: "DON'T. MOVE." With wide eyes staring right at her. Daring noticed her fear in her eyes, so so she did. It followed with: "The guard can't notice.."
They were in luck. The person who entered lifted up the fur from the side of where they slept, and noticed the clothes covering them. The guard thought it was one of the girls who were cold, and left right afterwards as they heard the cracking of the wood on the steps again. Dash silently sighed relievingly.
She looked at her life-long-hero and smiled
"You can come up", she said with a love filled smile on her exhausted face. "It´s safe", she added. After she catched her full senses again, Daring quickly thought of who could possible were coming inseide, it wasn't the girl, she was way too thin to cause the woof to crack since they themself didn't do so. One of the guards maybe? They had to get out of this place, they may were trapped, they didn't talk to the natives too much and are unknowing of what they were up to. Just in this momentum of thought the girl stepped in. "Follow me Daring Do". Daring was still unable to believe that she is even known on this lonely paradisic island with nearly no cibilisation, but she was known and this pushed a smile on her lips.
