The filly preparing for his role, sat next to door. Daring do also waiting for the time to enact her plan laid in her usual spot.
"So Daring do, what do you usually do every day?" the filly said waiting for her to reply. "Well I kinda like to adventure a lot, finding many treasures on the way, which brings in the bad crowd." pointing at the door. "From what i'm guessing that cat works for one of my many "friends", Ahuizotl." The mare getting tired of pointing at the door put her hoof back down. "Sounds exciting having "friends" like---" he stopped talking, confusing daring do. " 'Friends like...' what?" The mare said looking at Paragon. The filly moved his hoof in a downward movement. "The guard is coming get in position." The mare confused did what the filly said to do.
"Slam." "You think you hear noises everywhere we go! I think you need to get your mind out of the sky! How about you sit guard here for the night until the boss gets here. That understood?" yelled the panther at the small cat. "Here's the key to open the door when something is off. Got it?" the panther said to the small feline. "Yes sir" the cat said back. The panther walked back to the exit. "Slam" the sound made the two ponies jump. After a little while Paragon started to make sounds that intrigued the small feline. The small cat saw only one pony in the room. Confused, the cat unlocked the door to see where the filly went.
" Click" the door unlocked. With a few squeaks from the door opening the cat walked in not knowing his mistake. The filly closed the door behind the cat. Surprised the cat looked behind him to find the filly. Paragon noticing that the cat looked big, even though smaller than the big cat that was angry, knew he wouldn't be able to do anything to hurt it. "I can't lay a claw on you but i can scratch your friend over--- 'whack'! " Smiling, the mare looked at the filly. I thought you were ready for anything crazy?" laughing at the filly. " I was, but I was just the distraction." the filly said with glee making him feel better. The two ponies laughed for a few minutes. The mare looked at Paragon and thought to herself "Wait I'm confused as to why this cat was ordered not to hurt paragon. Could there be something this little filly isn't telling me?"
Paragon grab the key from the cat and opened the door, "After you Daring Do." Daring Do snapping out of her focus walked out the door, "Thank you, Partner." smiling at paragon. "No problem, Partner"
The two walked for to the next door. To make sure they would sneak pass, paragon checks through the crack in the door. "All I can see is the cat's are sleeping, what about you? You see anything up there?" paragon said to Daring Do who was flying a few feet off the ground to see through the door. "Yep, the same thing you are down there." slowly getting closer to the ground.
"So Partner, are you ready to get out of here?" laughed paragon. Daring do giggled and said, " With pleasure, partner."
The two opened the door to get ready for their next part of the plan: retrieving their lost items.
The young filly awoke to the sounds of voices. The small filly looked around to the new surroundings. Once the filly took in all of the room, he checked to make sure that there was a usable escape for him. There was none.
"fiddle sticks." The filly said noticing only one way out, through the door to the sounds of the voices. The pony alone and confused started to fall back to sleep.
"uhhhnn"
The filly surprised by the new sound found himself back on his hooves. Looking around for the strange new sound he spots something moving by the corner. Walking closer to the moving entity, finally becoming more clear. It was a pony, with different shades of black hair and a badly cut up green buttoned shirt. The mare had scratches and a big bruise on her forehead.
"uhhhnn"
The small filly knew that he had to help her soon. He looked around and found a roll of bandages, herbs for cuts, and the fountain filled with cool water. A few minutes later the filly finished patching up the mare and surprised to see the mare waking up.
"Oh good, your waking up!"
The Mare slowly opened to find the small filly in front of her.
"Uh, why does my head feel like it met an asteroid?" the mare said while touching her forehead. The filly looked around not to keep eye contact. "I have no clue..." the filly said while looking into space. The mare noticed the bandages on her head.
"Did you fix me up?" the mare looked at the filly who nodded with a small blush. "Thank you very much... um sorry I forgot to ask you, whats your name." the mare started to get up, but fell short. The filly helped the mare stay up. " It's Paragon, Paragon Apple. What's your name ma'am?" The Mare starting to get used to gravity, "It's Daring do." The two pony's smile to each other.
"Clank"
The two ponies hear the sound from the other side of the door. "Not good, looks like it might be a guard," The filly said in a whisper, "quick get back to where you were, maybe they won't notice your bandages." The two ponies ran to the original spots right before the guard looked into the hole.
"Hey guys, they're just sleeping!" yelled the panther. "You're probably just hearing echos!" The guard irritated for the other guards wasting his time for nothing to see.
"Slam" the door went. Paragon slowly walking over to Daring Do, "So whats the plan? For some reason my power won't work here so we can't teleport out of here." Paragon said in a hushed voice. Daring Do closed her eyes for a few seconds to think. The mare suddenly opened her eyes, making the filly jump. "Are you ready to do anything you have to do to get out of here. Even something daring or crazy?" Daring do said in a hushed voice. "I'm always up for something crazy as long as it's not insane." he said with a little bit more enthusiasm then he wanted. "well here's the plan..." the mare speaking into paragon's ear.
