Daring Do and the Legend of Herobrine

The room was much bigger than Daring had thought. Even with the torch, Daring could not light up the entire room. She thought about checking each corner to make sure there weren't any traps, but the fading hoofsteps reminded her that her enemy was getting even further away. Daring stood and thought for a second; she decided to ignore the darkness and pursue the unknown enemy. She wanted to get to the bottom of the this.

She dashed towards the tunnel through which the strange shadow had disappeared into. However, she suddenly heard the sound of moving mechanics. Looking up ahead, she saw that the entrance to the tunnel had been sealed shut with stone. Not able to stop herself in time, she slammed into the wall.

She took a step back and shook her head to make her thoughts clear again. She punched the wall with her hooves.

"Damn! He got away!"

Then suddenly, she heard a hissing sound coming from right behind her. She quickly turned around and saw a green creature. Before she could even think about what to do, the creature flashed with light and exploded. The shockwave threw Daring into the air and smashed her against the wall. Daring fell to the ground, feeling like all of her bones had been pulled apart. However, she still managed to stand up.

She looked at where the creature had been. It had been completely blown up from the inside, leaving nothing behind. There was a huge hole on the ground, and lava was flowing underneath. Daring was lucky. She was far away from the creature and she was barely injured. However, if she had been just a little closer, she would have been blown to pieces.

She quickly lit up another torch and looked around. The room had been lined with creepy, red torches and Daring saw that a few new holes opening up in the wall, revealing a strange box inside. The box was on fire and it had something moving inside. Suddenly, with a puff of smoke, another green creature appeared next to the box. It walked around a little, but went straight for Daring once it saw the light from her torch.

Daring looked to the left and saw the exact same thing. At least eight of the exploding creatures were silently approaching her. She slowly moved back, but her path was blocked by the enormous hole created by the explosion. Daring looked behind her and saw that the hole had already filled with lava. On the other side there was a small space between the stone wall and the hole seeming to connect to a tunnel, but the gap was too wide for her to jump over.

"What to do?"

Daring formed plan after plan in her mind, but was quickly turning them all down. She was trapped between a lava pit and a group of exploding creatures who were slowly approaching her. Sweat ran down Daring's forehead as she saw the creepy smile of the approaching monster. She back off even more, half of her back hoof already off the edge.

And then a crazy idea hit her. It was so insane, that even Daring had to think it over. She looked around her once again, but saw no other options. The circle closed in even more and Daring didn't have a choice.

Daring put a hoof on top of her hat to push it on even tighter. She bit the wooden hoofle of the torch between her lips and then decided to go for it.

She suddenly dashed forward and caught onto one of the monsters. Before it could react, Daring pulled the creature towards her and hugged it tight. She turned around and jumped off of the edge.

All the green creatures gave a loud hissing sound and immediately began to flash. Daring could feel every movement of the monster in her arms, expanding and contracting every second. Daring flew through the air, but as she had thought, her velocity was not enough to bring her across the entire pit. She started falling, not even half way across. But at that instant, she turn around so she was on top of the monster. She let go of the monster, put all four of her hooves on top of it and bent her knees, riding it like a skateboard. Then, before the creature exploded, Daring sprung, like a compressed spring, and jumped. The monster let out a loud hiss when Daring kicked it into the center of the lava pit, its body expanding like a blown up balloon.

Daring got a second boost from the midair jump, but it still wasn't quite enough. She held out her front hoof as far as possible, but the edge was still out of grasp. Daring missed the other end of the pit by about a foot and she started falling, down towards the lava.

But then.

The creature that Daring had taken and kicked finally exploded. The air was pushed back in a shockwave, creating a wind so strong that it lifted Daring into the air. She flew over the pit and landed on the other side... upside down. Her head slammed against the hard, stone ground, and her back was thrown against the wall. However, given that she wasn't trapped among a group of exploding monsters or get burned to death, Daring was lucky enough that she was at least safe for the moment and still in one piece. She stood up and looked back at the rest of the monsters standing on the other side of the pit, hissing at her with anger. She grinned with victory and waved goodbye to the angry monsters. She picked up her hat which had fallen off during the epic jump, put it on and then walked towards the tunnel that she had seen. Using the pickaxe, she broke the stone that was blocking her path, and then quickly ran down the dark hallway.
