The Big Adventure of Ian and Moondancer
Chapter 3 Mangopony Village and The Temple Enterance
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIan, Moondancer, and Sapphire later came across an old, wooden, rickety bridge. And at the bottom was a very deep gorge.
“We’d better cross this bridge.” said Moondancer.
“I’m not so sure.” said Sapphire who was shaking in fear.
“We’ll be fine. Just don’t look down and you’ll be ok.” Ian assured.
So the trio began to cross the bridge.
They were halfway across until a plank of the bridge broke off causing Sapphire to look down.
Sapphire screamed in fear and jumped on top of Ian.
“You looked down didn’t you.” said Ian.
“Yeah I did.” Sapphire admitted.
“Ok hold on and don’t let go.” said Ian in an annoyed tone.
After the three friends made it across the bridge they saw another obstacle to cross. A big river.
“We should find a bridge to cross the river.” said Moondancer.
The three friends looked for a bridge but there was no bridge to be seen.
"There has to be a bridge somewhere to cross." said Sapphire who looked around.
Finally, Ian saw one up ahead.
“There’s one.” said Ian pointing to the bridge.
They crossed the bridge. One across, the three friends came across a village.
“Wow. What a nice place.” said Moondancer.
“Welcome travelers to the village of Mangopony.” said the village leader walking up to them.
"We here have our own shops and vacant rooms for you three weary travelers to stay at anytime." the village leader said.
Ian's stomach growled.
"I could go for some food right now." said Ian as he looked for something to eat.
Ian then saw a coconut tree and climbed it.
He tried to pull the coconut off but it didn’t come off until Ian fell with a thud and the coconut fell off the tree and hit him on the head.
“Ow!” exclaimed Ian.
“Are you ok Ian?” Moondancer asked as she and Sapphire ran up to him.
“I think so.” replied Ian
“But at least you can make coconut milk with this coconut.” Sapphire replied.
Later Ian saw a sale at a hut and went up to it.
“Welcome sir. We’re selling some bottles of tasty mango soda and they only cost one bit each.” said a seller.
Ian pulled out his piggy bank.
“I’ll take it all. I hope this is enough.” he said in frantic excitement.
“Ian don’t waste all your cash in your piggy bank on bottles and bottles of soda.” said Moondancer.
“Yeah do you honestly think buying all that is gonna make you happy?” Sapphire added.
Ian thought about what the results were if he bought every last one of the mango soda bottles.
“I guess not.” Ian answered. Maybe I should save some cash for other important things.”
Ian decided to only buy one bottle so he payed one bit for the soda.
“We also need to get going on our quest to cure our friends.” said Moondancer.
“Yes we should.After all our friends are counting on us and if we don't cure them they'll die of sickness.” said Ian. He turned to the village leader.
“Do you know anything about the Magicus Healus temple?” he asked
“Oh! You wouldn’t want to go there! The spirit will haunt you for sure!” the village leader warned.
“We know. We aren’t afraid. We just need the flower inside.” explained Moondancer
“If that is what you wish, may the Gods protect you three.” the village leader said.
“Thank you.” Moondancer said.
Later the three friends said goodbye as they left the village to continue their adventure to find the flower that rested in the Magicus Healus temple.
“Those native ponies sure are friendly.” said Sapphire.
“Yeah I know.” said Ian.
“And they sure are productive a lot too.” said Moondancer.
Later the three friends found a waterfall up ahead.
“Wow. What a breathtaking sight.” said Sapphire.
“Wanna go for a swim guys?” Ian asked.
“No thanks.” said Moondancer.
“Sure.” said Sapphire.
Ian took off his sweater. Then he and Sapphire went for a swim in the lake while Moondancer relaxed in the sun.
Ian and Sapphire played in the water for three hours straight.
"It reminds me of that one time I went swimming in my pool back in Ponyville." Ian said.
He could remember the time when he was a little colt swimming in a kiddie pool.
"Ah. Those were the days. The fun days but still they were the days."
After swimming Ian and Sapphire dried off and Ian put his sweater back on.
When they caught up to Moondancer, she looked a bit red.
"Wow Moondancer you look like you got cooked." said Ian as he laughed.
"Oh be quiet." said Moondancer.
Much later, the three friends continued their journey.
“Mane, what a swim that was.” said Ian.
“I sure had fun.” Sapphire added.
"Me too." said Ian
"Although the best part was when we saw Moondancer all red." said Sapphire as she and Ian laughed.
"Stop it you two." said Moondancer in an annoyed tone.
Later the trio were almost there to their destination.
“According to the map we should be right about here at the temple of the,” Moondancer said.
“Magicus Healus flower.” Ian and Sapphire said knowing what their friend would say next.
Then the three friends saw a pathway that led to the temple.
“The temple of the Magicus Healus flower. We made it.” said Ian.
“Well let’s go in and find the flower.” said Moondancer.
“But we also need to beware of the ghost too.” said Sapphire.
Then the three friends made it into the temple.
There was different sections of the temple that one had the flower in one of them.
"Now which room has the flower that we need to cure our friends from the Pony Purple Pox Sickness?" Moondancer wondered.
“Well the best way to find the flower is if we split up.” Ian instructed. “The three of us will have to look in each room.”
Then the trio split up to go look for which room had the flower.
