The Big Adventure of Ian and Moondancer

As the train was heading to Canterlot, Ian was busy planning his adventure during the train ride.

“Now if I were to find the temple I would need a map.” Ian thought.

As the hours went by, the more Ian planned his adventure.

Much later when the Ponyville Express arrived in Canterlot, Ian was ready, but first he had to tell Moondancer what was going on.

Ian headed off to see Moondancer. He then saw her walking along the path.

“Moondancer!” Ian called out.

“Ian!” said Moondancer. “Longtime no see.” they hugged each other.

“Moondancer there’s something I need to tell you.” Ian said.

“What is it?” Moondancer asked.

“Twilight and her friends caught this sickness called Pony Purple Pox.” Ian said

“What’s Pony Purple Pox? Moondancer asked

“Pony Purple Pox is this sickness that makes you have green skin and purple spots all over your body.” Ian explained

“Oh my! That’s terrible. Is there a cure?” Moondancer said

“The only way to cure Twilight and her friends is to find this rare flower called Magicus Healus.” Ian told Moondancer

“But how are we going to find it?” Moondancer asked.

“Twilight did say that it was located at a very ancient temple that was ruled long ago but now a ghost lives there.” Ian explained

“Oh wow. But how are we gonna get there?” Moondancer asked

“We’ll need a map that will guide us to the ancient temple of Magicus Healus. We’d better look for a book that has the map.” Ian said

“And I think I know just the place to look.” said Moondancer

Ian and Moondancer searched high and low and every cranny and nook for a book that had the map to the Magicus Healus temple.

“Now which book would have the map?” Ian thought.

Every book they found on adventure maps, Ian and Moondancer couldn’t find any of the books that had the map that led to the Magicus Healus temple.

“So far we haven’t found anything.”

Just then they saw a book inside a trashcan. It was old, worn, a few pages either fading or missing. It was the exact definition of worse for wear.

“I wonder what’s in this book?” Ian thought.

Ian opened the book and a folded up piece of paper fell out.

“What’s this?” Ian wondered as he saw the paper on the ground.

Ian picked up the paper and unfolded it to reveal a map.

“I think I’ve found the map to where we’re going.” he said to himself

Ian then caught up with Moondancer to tell her.

“I found it in a really old and worn out book in the trash. I think this might lead us to the Magicus Healus temple.”

“Perfect. I should probably go lock the door to my house first before we head out.”

“Great idea.”

And that’s exactly what she did. Then the unicorn and earth pony headed out to start their adventure.

“Now we should follow the map. And we’ll find the temple but we need to beware of the ghost that haunts the temple.”

The two ponies headed down the path that was stated on the map.

“This adventure might give us an estimate of a few days.” Ian said.

“Or who knows how long it might take.” Moondancer stated.

“But what really matters right now is that Twilight and her friends are counting on us.”

Ian and Moondancer followed every direction on the map to find the temple that kept the Magicus Healus flower.

Three days later, their food supplies had run out and the two were starving.

“We’re gonna die if we don’t find at least something to eat. It’s been at least three days since we haven’t had any real food.” said Ian.

“But where in the name of Equestria are we gonna find some food here in this forest?” said Moondancer

Ian and Moondancer looked all over the forest for some food.

“Have you found anything?” Ian asked.

“I found nothing. How about you?”

“I found nothing. Zilch! Nada! Let’s face it. We’ll never find anything to eat.”

But Ian spoke too soon because a bunch of bananas fell on Ian’s head from a tree.

“I guess these bananas will suffice.” said Ian

The two ponies ate as they walked.

“Good thing we found some bananas to help us keep our energy up.” Moondancer said.

“I wonder what we’ll find to drink?” said Ian.

Ian then saw a freshwater spring up ahead.

“I think we found some fresh water. That might help.” said Moondancer

They then drank some water to keep their energy.

“Much better.” said Ian

“At least now we found some bananas and some water.” said Moondancer.

The two ponies continued until sunset.

Ian saw a cave up ahead.

“We can stop here for the night.” he said.

Both of them set up a fire, and with a few mishaps of losing the fire, they finally had one warm enough to keep them warm from the cold cave.

“This should keep us warm.” Moondancer said.

Later that night, Ian and Moondancer were both fast asleep until they heard a sound.

“What was that?” Ian asked.

“I don’t know. We should go investigate what it was.”

Then the two ponies went deeper into the cave to investigate the sound.

As they went deeper into the cave, it got darker and darker and the noise got louder and louder.

“I can’t see a thing in here.” said Ian

Moondancer then used her horn and she and Ian were face to face with a big red dragon.

The dragon roared.

Ian and Moondancer screamed and made a run for it.

“You should’ve told me this was a dragon’s cave before we bunked here.” Moondancer called as she and Ian ran.

“I know I should’ve and I’m sorry I didn’t.” Ian called back.

Then the two made a narrow escape out of the cave as the red dragon blew fire at them.

“Yeow my biscuits are burning!” exclaimed Ian.

Luckily there was a pond up ahead and Ian cooled off his flank there.

“Are you ok Ian?” Moondancer asked

“Man that smarts. Not to mention some of my tail burned off” said Ian who sat in the pond.

“Luckily we made a narrow escape.” Moondancer replied.

“We sure did. But where are we gonna sleep?” Ian wondered.

Ian then saw a cavern behind a waterfall.

“Maybe in there?” he said pointing to the cavern.

Ian then remembered to check to see if anybody was in this cavern.

When Ian and Moondancer looked around, the cavern looked deserted.

“It’s empty in here so we should sleep here for the night.” said Ian

“First we should check to see if there are any dragons in here.” suggested Moondancer

Ian and Moondancer looked around for any sign of dragons but there was no dragon to be seen.”

“Good. All is well.” Ian declared.

But Ian spoke too soon once again because inside the cavern was a very light blue baby dragon that was cold and lonely.

“I think we’re not alone.” said Ian.

Ian walked up to the baby dragon.

“Hello. I’m Ian and this is Moondancer.” he introduced

“What’s your name?” Moondancer asked.

“My name is Sapphire and I’m an orphaned baby dragon.”

“Pleased to meet you.” said Ian.

“So what are you doing here in this cavern?” Sapphire asked.

“We needed a place to sleep for the night. You see we’re on an adventure to find the Magicus Healus flower that is kept in the Magicus Healus temple. The reason why is that some of our friends are sick with a case of Pony Purple Pox.”

“Oh my.”

“Sounds terrible.”

“It does.”

“I would be able to accompany you but I’m too scared.”

“Don’t worry. Me and Moondancer will be right here to accompany every step of the way.”

Then Sapphire felt much better.

“Thanks. I’m starting to feel much better that now I know you two are gonna help me out.”

“Besides Twilight and her friends are counting on us.”

“Twilight as in Twilight Sparkle?” Sapphire asked.

“Yep.” answered Ian.

“Oh I’ve heard of her. She’s a good hero for Equestria.”

“And she’s also a longtime friend of mine.” Moondancer added.

“We could tell you more but we need to get some rest.”

“Oh ok.”

And later Ian,Moondancer,and Sapphire fell fast asleep.

The next day Ian,Moondancer,and Sapphire woke up to find some breakfast.

The three friends looked all over until Ian saw two eggs.

“Poached eggs anyone?” Ian asked.

Ian cooked the eggs while Sapphire used her fire breath to keep the poached eggs nice and hot.

Then Ian felt something inside his sweater. He pulled out three slices of bread.

“Looks like we’ll have some toast too.”

After breakfast, the three friends headed out to continue their adventure to find the Magicus Healus flower that rests in the Magicus Healus temple.
