Fireball's Quest
Search for Honey
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSearch for Honey
Caramel, Fireball and Cinnamon galloped through the forest, calling out Honey's name but they got no response.
"Where could she be?" Fireball asked as they looked behind rocks, trees and in caves to see if she was hiding there. "Would you guys know where she could've gone off to?"
"Since she's never been like this, we don't know where she would go if she was really sad," Caramel replied with regret and sadness in her voice. She sounded like she was going to start crying. "Sure we fight but we've never yelled at each other like that at the boiling point like a thermometer when you have a fever."
"We can't give up our search, she could be in possible danger right now," Cinnamon responded with fear. "What if she is being held hostage by a gang or by some changelings?"
"Let's stop the arguing right now and focus on the task at hoof. Now's not the time for giving up." Fireball said with frustration and some flames almost shot out of her horn but they sizzled away before they could fly out.
"She's right, we can't give up now and we're wasting time now." Caramel said with anger in her voice because of her tone of voice and that she was also gritting her teeth.
"Let's go now!"
The siblings continued to gallop around and called for Honey again until they heard a scream coming from a bunch of trees that were surrounded by a bunch of berry bushes. They jumped over the bushes without a rustle, to see Honey, tied up at a stake. There were two ponies, dressed in black cloaks and they just stared at her.
"Shall we do it? Or should we wait for the boss to come back?" one of the ponies that was a stallion, asked the other and the latter shook their head.
"We might as well wait until the boss returns or he'll think we disobeyed him and wanted him to miss this," the other pony that was a mare, replied with anger in her voice and she cleared her throat. "We need to find out where that filly with the fire coloured hair, could be after those two galloped off out of town with her."
Fireball felt like her heart was in her throat. They were after her? But why did they capture Honey? To interrogate her?
"Alright, filly, where is she?" the stallion demanded and he held a torch that had a flame on it.
"Why do you need to know about this filly? Has she done something to you?" Honey replied with anger in her voice. "I'm also not a filly, I'm a mare!"
"It's none of your business, filly! Answer our question or you'll suffer this consequence." the mare responded with anger, she pointed to the flaming torch and Honey widened her eyes.
"Alright, she lives in my town which is Ponyendal. She's the only one different there because of her fire coloured hair. You'll never miss her. Please just don't kill me or hurt me!"
"Come on, let's go find the boss and get to Ponyendal right now!"
The two cloaked ponies were about to set the stake that held Honey, on fire but Fireball, with so much anger, jumped out of the bushes and kicked the two ponies away before the flame could touch the firewood. Cinnamon then followed and caught the torch before it hit the grass and would set the forest on fire. He threw it far enough to hit the lake nearby. So many lakes in the forest! Was Lyngway now turning into The Fresianlands? The country that had so much water but would eventually disappear and turn into dry grass?
"Ouch! What the h...?"
Before one of the two cloaked ponies could say anything, Caramel kicked them both until it looked like they were knocked out.
"Get your hooves away from my sister!" Fireball and Caramel yelled at the same time and they stood over them.
"Guys, you came to save me!" Honey squealed as she tried to free her limbs from the tightening rope.
"Of course we did, Honey, we're siblings and we always stick together until the end. We've been joined at the hip since birth." Caramel replied with a smile.
"Not literally, of course." Cinnamon responded with a smile then rolled his dark green eyes.
Fireball walked up to Honey and used a little of her fire magic to burn the ropes to free her limbs. Not too much because it could burn her very much and she would have to limb for a long time. The fire burned off the rope and Honey fell onto her front hooves and jumped off the firewood.
The four siblings walked away from the scene before the two cloaked ponies could wake up and see them.
"What is the name of the next town?" Cinnamon asked and he held his head down slightly.
"That'll be Hoofsund. We have quite a walk or trot to get there." Fireball replied and she looked at him slightly with a frown.
The next morning, the four of them woke up after camping out for the night and as they walked, they saw a few houses in the distance and galloped to it. The town was a big one with so many houses and shops. They could see a quill shop, a shop for schoolponies and a nice looking cafe.
"Come on, let's search this town for my parents." Fireball said and the Sweet Three nodded in agreement and walked into the town.
Author's Note
The name Ponyendal is a spoof of a Norwegian town called Arendal and if you couldn't remember from the first story, The Fresianlands is a spoof of The Netherlands. The way I described the country is a true thing which I learned from a Dutch short film called Father and Daughter and looked it up as well. Hoofsund is a spoof of another Norwegian city or town called Kristiansund.
