A Day With Her Friends
Chapter 6
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight and her friends were getting ready to do the sweat lodge again as they were getting their long dresses on. They had just done the sweat lodge a few hours ago so they thought that it was a good time to do it again.
Once they were dressed for it Fluttershy reminded them to be safe and leave the sweat lodge if it becomes to much. She then talked about spirituality for a bit which fascinated her friends.
"I just want to remind everybody here that the sweat lodge cleans out bad bacteria from our bodies. It doesn't stop there though as it also cleanses out our souls and makes sure that no bad spirits our attached to them. Remember that bad spirits can affect us as they are caused by bad thoughts and actions which is why we must flush them out." Fluttershy said as she talked to her friends about the sweat lodge. Her friends murmured in agreement.
"Now before we go in for the second time I just want to remind everyone to be safe and get out when you get tired of the heat." Fluttershy said as she reminded her friends to be safe in the sweat lodge. After that she spoke.
"Alright that's all I wanted to say so let's go in and do the sweat lodge a second time." Fluttershy said. They all went inside the sweat lodge and Applejack heated the middle.
The temperature started out mildly warm but gradually hot just as it did when they were in there before. They sat down in a circle around the rocks and Rarity closed the entrance and sat down and they all looked into the darkness.
Rarity added a few more heated stones to the pile and they began to say prayers out loud. Twilight knew that this was going to be the same as the first time she did this but she didn't mind that fact at all. She kept her eyes on the center of the pitch black room.
She listened to her friends say a few prayers but she stayed quiet as she wouldn't be very good at speaking in sweat lodges even if she was surrounded by her friends, she felt like she would make her prayer sound awkward by accident.
Slowly it started to get a bit hotter in there as the brightness in the middle grew, Rarity dabbed at her face to wipe some sweat away as the heat made started to make them sweat.
Twilight and her friends continued to sit around the circle as they all said prayers in calm voices. Twilight knew that she wasn't going to last long but she knew that that was okay as she couldn't help the fact that it would get to much for her after a while as it got to much for all of her friends at other points.
Twilight said her prayers as her friends said theirs aloud after they said their prayers they all mediated around the stones. Beads of sweat could be seen on Applejack's face as she stared at the fire.
Pinkie Pie sat near Rarity as they both sat in the lodge. Rarity wiped sweat from her eyes that was leaking down from her forehead as it was starting to get into her eyes. Fluttershy made no sudden movements as she stayed calm as she was so experienced at sweat lodges.
Applejack rocked side to side a bit as she couldn't sit still due to the heat factor. They added more heated stones to the center and the temperature rose in the sweat lodge and they all felt it.
The only sound that could be heard in their was their breathing and the stones crackling a bit but other than that it was completely silent in the sweat lodge. It probably wouldn't stay silent for long however as a few of them would probably leave if it got to much for them.
As the heat continued to stay at the high temperature Twilight wondered how long she could meditate in there this time as she did pretty good last time. She wondered which one of her friends would be the first to leave as she fir gutted that it would be the same like last time.
Applejack was the first one to leave the lodge much due to her friends surprise as she was pretty tough and could handle a lot of sweat lodges but they understood and let her leave.
After Applejack left it became quiet again as their breathing got a bit heavier due to the heat but that was just an expected fact that happened all the time when they did this. They resumed their quiet meditation and prayers as they let the sweat lodge flush out their bodies.
Sweat was pouring down Pinkie Pie's face as she hadn't wiped any of it away so she took the back of her hand and wiped the sweat away with the back of her hand and then resumed to stare at the rocks in front of her while glancing at her friends from time to time as well.
Fluttershy breathed through her nose as she mediated in the sweat lodge. Twilight watched Fluttershy as she admired how much Fluttershy could handle in the sweat lodge as Fluttershy could stay in there for a while usually.
Rarity began to grow to uncomfortable in sweat lodge, she was reaching her limit and would have to leave very soon. She tried to wipe as much sweat away as she could as she was loosing the ability to stay still in the sweat lodge. She was breathing very heavily.
Meanwhile Pinkie Pie also started to reach her limit and grow uncomfortable as well since there was only so much she could take, she noticed that Rarity was reaching her limit as well and thought about asking Rarity if they wanted to leave together but decided not to speak as that would interrupt her friend's mediation and prayers.
Rarity got up and left as she was the second one to leave. Twilight knew that she was about to leave as well. This was only her second time but yet she could handle better than Rarity.
As they continued to meditate together it became increasingly clear that it was becoming to much for all of them and they would probably have to end the entire thing if it got out of hand for all of them
Pinkie Pie got up and left the sweat lodge as she was the third one to leave a she couldn't take it anymore. Fluttershy saw that her, Rainbow Dash and Twilight were the only ones remaining if anybody else left then she would have to end the sweat lodge for the day.
And then after a little bit more time passed Twilight left the sweat lodge and washed her sweaty face off so Fluttershy decided to end the lodge and told Rainbow Dash to get out with her for their own safety. Rainbow Dash listened to Fluttershy as they both left the lodge together. Pinkie Pie doused the small heated stones in the lodge with water as they all wiped the sweat off their faces. They got out of their dresses and put their regular clothes on.
"Great job everyone! We have once again connected to eachother spiritually in the sweat lodge. Let's take a break and do the sweat lodge again a bit later." Fluttershy said. Her friends nodded and they all went to do something else together. Rarity took the dresses and washed them and then came back with them and hung them to dry so that they could use them again if they did another round in the sweat lodge. Rarity then joined her friends as they went off to do something else.
