Rainbow Heart 2

Tracker had hiked all night to the old fortresses in the Everfree Forest. He had entered the second one, after he had already searched the first one without finding any evidence of the fugitives. These places were dangerous. These ruins were all in bad shape like death traps. All of the victims were killed within a thirty mile radius of this area of the Everfree Forest. There were only few ponymade structures in the area, but he wasn’t ruling out the possibility of natural formations they could be hiding in as well. The massive fortress would take a few hours to check and clear.

Tracker crept in like a mouse. All he wanted to do was find the lair. His challenge was to sneak into surrounding places that might be used as a base of operations, find evidence of Rainbow Heart or Double Rainbow, and then return to Ponyville to get the information to Princess Twilight. She would be able to get the emergency information to Princess Celestia.

Tracker had a flashlight, but didn’t use it yet. The morning light was good enough at the moment. The deeper he went, the more he would have to use the flashlight.

These old places always gave ponies the creeps. This is why most ponies never ventured anywhere near them.

It was a slow process to quietly maneuver around the winding hallways and rooms. The attack came from behind. A blow directly to the back of Tracker’s head knocked him unconscious.
