When the sun rose the next morning, Luna woke up from her slumber with a displeased face. "Come now Lulu, Tis time for a new day of adventure" Celestia yelled off the cliff attempting to encourage her sister.

Luna looked up at Celestia with half closed eyes and snorted walking back to the tent. Celestia growled grabbing Luna's tail and pulling her. "We can sleep in when we finish this mission for Starswirl" Celestia said puffing up her chest.

Luna grumbled and started walking towards her blue backpack. She began to reluctantly brush all the tangles from her mane. Celestia nuzzled Luna's mane and sighed "I think basking in the moonlight has made your mane even softer than normal" She purred "Thou even smells like moonlight"

Luna jumped back "Tia, Thou art acting creepy" She yelped. Celestia pouted but laughed as she brushed her mane with a brush. Luna let out a small laugh of her own before eating a hay breakfast bar.

After finishing their daily routine, Celestia and Luna packed up their tent and started on the road to a cave in neutral territory. "Hey Tia, Remember when we were practicing targeting our magic" Luna said starting a conversation.

Celestia smiled looking at the sky "Yea... I was a natural at my aim" She said with a prideful smirk. Luna rolled her eyes "I set Starswirl on fire and our guards laughed" She said reminiscing the moment.

Celestia chuckled "Oh yea, I remember he was yelling 'OH DEAR! MY BEARD IS ON FIRE! QUICK! GUIDE ME TO THE WELLS!" She exclaimed running around holding an invisible beard.

Luna let out a small giggle at the memory before walking in front of Celestia. "I have been practicing and I want to show thou some day" She said giving her a smile. Celestia nodded thinking back to the night before.

"Hast thou...Ever heard of a draconequus?" Celestia asked. Luna raised an eyebrow "I can't say that i have?" She admitted slumping her shoulders. Celestia laid a hoove on her shoulder "Don't worry... There is only one in existence from my own personal knowledge" She assured attempting to dispel her sister's self doubt.

Luna nodded with wide curious eyes "Let us know if thou finds more information. This species is facinating to us-" Celestia nudged Luna with her flank making the young filly fall over.

"What was that, Tia" She whined. Celestia stuck her tongue out at her sister "The royal we again, dear sister" She replied. Luna pouted "That wasn't necessary. You know my legs are tiny..." She whined again.

The rest of the day was spent silently walking to their destination. After walking past the same bush for the 3rd time, Luna looked at Celestia "Are we lost, Tia..." She asked. Celestia growled looking at the map "No we are so close, It should be right here" She argued stomping a hoof onto the ground.

Suddenly, loud crackles echoed through the forest as the birds flew away frantically. Luna flew up to a low gliding birds "What's going on?" She asked. The bird responded back with his own series of anxious tweets before flying away.

"Tia!" Luna screamed down to her sister. The alabaster filly looked up "Yes Lun-ROCKSLIDE!!!!" Luna interupted. The young alicorn's ears pinned back as many giant bolders rolled down the mountain side knocking down trees in their wake.
"Tia! Fly!!!" She yelled frantically. Celestia stared frozen as the rocks rolled closer "I-I can't! I'm scared, Lulu..." She whimpered.
Celestia ran as the bolders chased her along the small cliff edge.

Luna moaned facehoofing, She knew Celestia's wings froze up when she was scared but this was a whole new level of terror. "Celestia!" She yelled looking for her sister amongst the dust and bolders.
"Luna! Help I'm scared!!!!" She screamed. Luna flew to where her voice was coming from and giggled at the hilarious sight. Celestia was hanging onto a tree branch that was only about a haunch on the ground.

"Luna!!!!" She exclaimed holding tightly onto the branch. "Get me down from here" She squealed. Luna giggled "I wooooould but..."She trailed off pretending she was deep in thought. Celestia nickered in displeasure as she opened her eyes and looked down.

There was nothing to describe how red her face was at that moment but it didn't stop the series of giggles that broke out between them as Celestia climbed down.

"So Tia...Thou said the mine was right here?" Luna asked looking past the pink maned alicorn. Celestia nodded "According to the map..." She said looking at the aged paper. Luna's eyes twinkled with victory as she observed a newly created cave entrance. "This is it!" She exclaimed fluttering over to the entrance.

"Luna! Wait! It might be a trap... Remember what Starswirl said" Celestia called to her little sister. "Don't worry about it! I'm not scared of anything" Luna boasted.

"Except the dark..." Celestia grumbled fluttering after her.
