"that's behind us now deal or no deal?" "i think we have drew this out for far two long wouldn't you say daring?" he asked "im gonna give you five seconds" "whats the differences between us?" he asked "five" "what are ponys even doing on this world the old gods surely dont want us here" "four" "this counting is foolish" "three" "stop your embarrassing your self" "two" "really?"

"due north lets hope daring doo got held up by something" the commander said "yes it would be really bad" "we are almost there" daring said as slowly falling asleep slowly falling down until Crash just before they made contact with the ground she could hear the colt yelling "pull up pull up!" "daring wake up!" Conner was yelling in her ear " we got problems" shaking her over and over trying to get her back to reality "huh" daring said stupidly daring stood up and looked at the big furry stinky beast standing in front of her her mouth wide open "what is that" "i don't know" he said "old friend?"

"yeah" said calmly "so can you get us out?" he asked "nope" she said simply "why not?" he asked again "unlike rope metal can not be bitten though" she exclaimed the colt looked over his shoulder to see the worried face of daring looking at the floor "hey don't worry" he said "i'm not! i'm just you know thinking" she said she looked for anything that she could use to get free "is there anything on your side?" she asked "nope i don't see anything "darn it" she said the two sat watching as the train slowly started off the tracks and into the dirt ditch "we have to do something NOW!" the colt pleaded "your misery is cute" daring said still staring at her binds "hey your the one who is ten metres away from there death as well" he said still watching his doom "ture but i can accept my death unlike someone who happens to be right behind me" "listen im going to try something but it requires both of us to work together ok?"he asked "fine" "first im going to lean back on to you and you fling me over your shoulder" "what if i get hurt? you only weigh like a billion pounds she said sarcastically "ha ha ha daring is so funny in the face of danger" "i am" "ok im going" he said the colt started to lean back on daring "ready?" he asked "yep" "alright g--" he got cut off conner was dazed for a second and stood up and turned to give daring a scary look "you were suspose to wait till i said go" "i dont wait" she said conner untied daring "ok how do we get out now?" he asked "back door?" she asked "daring Seriously we need to get out of here, hey help me break this glass" daring walked over to the door and opened it and watched conner try to open the glass window "your never going to open it" she said then pointing at the back door" Seriously lets try the back back door!" "if you think it will open you try i will remain here to continue trying to get this dammed window open" he said bucking at the window over and over again "i do" she said clopping toward the door she turned to knob "Locked!" she turned to look at her companion "told you daring" still bucking at the window "Hey! your not getting any closer then i am" she said turning to look at the lock on the door again " i will try to pick it" "good luck these train locks are made to not be broke into" he said still banging at the window "and im sure these windows made not to be broken ether so keep your luck to yourself" she said bending down to eye level to look into the lock she took a coin and started to scratch the door knob with it in the other hoof she pulled out a hair pin and un tangled it stuck the pin into the lock and the scratched coin off to the side of the pin and pushed the lock didnt budge "see told you!" he said "i see you have only made a scratch on that window just give me a few more seconds" she turned and faced the door and kicked the lock she decided to try the door after she gave it a hard kick the door knob turned and opened "ah ha look what i did!" "whoa what" he said running to join daring "how long do we have to get off?" he asked "not long" she turned and grabbed onto conners jacket and jumped off the side of the train as they hit the ground they both rolled at the same time to safety "great now we are in the middle of no where!" conner said standing up and helping daring up to her hooves "thanks i have no idea" she looked at the tracks " maybe we could follow the tracks?" she asked "yeah but for how long that dick took our food and water we won't last long out here" he said looking at daring "that is true maybe we will encounter a village on the way?" she asked "i mean maybe not for a few hours at the least we are pretty far into the desert" "well we better start moving ever second we waste we are closer to our doom" he said and started walking and daring followed "this is true i guess" she said "isnt everything i say true?" he asked with a smirk "yeah yeah wise head keep talkin" she said constantly counting each piece of track she shes "43 44 45 46 47...50" she mumbled "what are you mumbling about?" he said putting a hoof on her shoulder "the sun has gotten to you i think we should rest" he said turning daring for her to look at him "i..... i think im fine lets go" she said trying to walk " i am fine really" she looked two steps before her and fell on her face "daring!" the colt yelled running to the mares side "wake up!" he said he grabbed her legs and dragged her toward the closest shade under a tree trunk he leaned her agnest the tree and ran to something that looked like a lake full of water he jumped toward it and opened the water jug he had in his pocket and filled it with the water and stood up and ran back to daring he tipped the jug gently into the mouth of daring, she suddenly sprung with life and gasped for air ======================================================= the night chilled the air around them they lay huddled to keep warm "its cold out here" conner said staring at the constant glaze of the moon "listen if it wasnt for you i would probably be dead" she said feeling glad she did "hey no biggy you would have done the same for me!" conner said "yeah but it didn't happen to you it happened to me and you saved me" she said looking at the moon as well "yeah really no big deal" he said sitting up "yeah....." she said "hey we really bady need food" he said "i think its better for us to travel at night" daring nodded and stood up "lets go" the two walked and walked till they saw what they believed was a mountain the two fell "seems not even daring doo can escape death" ??? said looking over the corpse of daring and her companion "master im sure they are gone for good this time" looking at the masters happy face "then we can contine back on task lke we were before no more lumps along the way now" he said starting to raise his hand "WE are rid of daring and her sidekick once and for all we march for the goblet with this map it will alow us to find it give me the map" a plate came out of the ground and he grabed it from its pedistool "with this we can rule the world!" the master opened the map in rage he picked up one of his grunts and threw him out the back window and into to the streets "i want the real map! and i want it now go find daring find her corpse and bring it to me i will break it" he stomped out of the war room and one of the grunts picked up the peice of paper laying on the ground and read "haha in your face" he took the paper and rolled it up and threw it into the fire "wake yuong daring you have vistors" luna said "but first let us talk" daring picked her self up from the warm bed she was laying on she looked around dased from the light of the sun she turned to see luna sitting at a small table with two tea cups sitting on it "come sit" luna said she waved a hoof daring stumbled over to the table "where are we" she asked "wheres conner" she asked "im i dead" she wondered staring into the eyes of luna " we are the castle of night my relm if it is to be found by the follows that are after you grave danger would happen conner is fine in the same place you left him he will wake with full supplys, no you are not dead if i didnt help you would be you must find the goblet if you dont nor me or celsta could stop him "why dont you two just go after him?" she asked wondering of there usefullness " i mean you could do it much faster then i could you wouldnt run into any problems i mean you can fly there for petes sake you dont need me" "i am the night if i am not here i cant change day from night if i mess up once the cylye and it would never be able to go back to the way it was and if celsta left her post it would stay enternal night and nightmare moon would return" "but you are nightmare moon are you not?" daring asked "yes but i can not stop my other slelf if this happens and if he gets the goblet he will take us down" she said "then i gotta go i probley wasted a few days tops" daring said worryed about conner "no i stopped the time in your head before your body gave up then slowly gave you life back but yes it did waste some hours which you guys can make up im sure my life is in your hoofs im counting on your hard work" luna said "ready to go back to the real world and finish this quest?"

Conner let out a scream despite running toward the edge of the fall looking down to see any remains of daring but they were flow done the river one of the towns pony lead Conner to the closest inn "why did i let her do it" Conner asked in agony he sat in his room for three days "are you not going to continue on your quest?" the inn keeper asked "i have no map its pointless" "really now whats that in your backpack then?" Conner looked over and saw a large rolled up piece of paper  he grabbed it and un rolled it a note fell from it "if your reading this something happened to me and to my final request i want you to finish the quest from me it may not seem like i'm there but i am watching over your every step go" he unrolled the map a saw a circle near the place he was going "the key is here" he read he rolled the map up and headed for the door "here sir" the inn keeper handing Conner a huge backpack "thanks" Conner said meanwhile daring's body was sitting at the bottom of a deep hole washed up at a shore not to far from the stream she coked and woke with a start she looked around at her surroundings she then looked at her coat which was cut up with holes in the bottoms of her pockets she stumbled around before she was able to walk straight "CONNER!" she yelled "CONNER!" she yelled again she looked in front of her and saw a dead end she was forced to turn and walk the other way just to find another dead end due to the water fall the water was flowing into a dam and slowly filling up she felt the cold touch of the water rubbing ageist her feet  she hoped that her friends were safe she spent the next 2 hours breaking branches and making a fire hoping to get a signal out to those around her "where the hell am i?" she thought "i'm in the middle of no where no food no help i gotta climb my wing was hurt in the fall" she slept conner woke and saw his fire was out where he was camped he looked at the ashes and thought "ill finish this daring" he stomped the ashes and started to walk, he grabbed the map from his backpack and looked where he was going "it will take me a while to get to that damn key"he thought "maybe they have the key..... wait they don't have the map" he walked night drew quickly he set up camp "RAWR" a shadow lurker was standing face to face with Conner Conner roared with anger "your kind killed daring ill make you pay!" he jumped onto the back of a shadow lurker and put his hoof in front of the hoof of the shadow lurker tripping him Conner quickly got up and broke the lurkers arm to make sure he could get safely out of there he ran BANG BANG BANG it was the sound of daring constantly falling "damn wing heal" she said glaring at her wings again she thought she could hear voices coming from above "HEY I'M DOWN HERE I NEED HELP"she screamed as loud as she was able to no response "Damn it" she sat on the ground and closed her eyes hoping for something to happen nothing did she sat for two hours before a few tiny pebbles came down and rolled next to her she looked up to see some local wildlife standing there "i hope Conner is taking care" she thought to herself two days past daring wing had healed more she was able to fly half way up "so close" she thought she try's again more then half way "damn it" thinking again she was able to grab the ledge and pull herself onto flat lands "thank god i need to eat" she thought she started to walk "now i do believe it is this way" meanwhile Conner now walking made it to his first stop "wow this place is huge" he said looking at a giant temple he slowly opened the door and performed in and saw a huge room full of treasure as he got closer he could feel it getting hotter and hotter each time he took a step forward he saw a large red tail "what the hell is that?" he asked himself a dragon one that was said to be ran off by a shy yellow pony his intense eyes scanned Conner the dragon let out a huge roar which made the whole temple sake "what the FUCK" he turned to run for the door but it was suddenly shut he was trapped he tried banging on the door the dragon got closer and closer with every bang bang before Conner knew it he was face to face to the dragon he did the only reasonably thing ran daring was able to find the inn Conner stayed at the night before "hey get me a pint please" she ordered "sure thing" the bartender said "wait aren't you Conner's friend? "YEAH IS HE OK WHERE IS HE?" she said "yeah hes fine he set out for the key you had marked down on the map "few i better go after him fill up this backpack and i will head out" she said "ok" he said the next day daring headed out she was on the trail of Conner until she reached the temple which had had the doors closed she walked up to one of the pones standing in front of it "how long has it been closed?" she asked "not long like 20 minutes" the pony said "is there anyway for me to get in?" daring asked "yes but it will cost you" "i'm fine with it" daring said the door was opened and daring walked in she walked down the long huge hallway she spotted the key which this time there was no dragon she walked up and switched the key with a rock and turned "now where is" she was thinking before a scream uninterrupted her "Daring!" Conner said "Conner!" daring said "now's no time i lost the dragon for now we have to get out" Conner said "i agree i got the key" she said pulling out the key to show him "nice" RAWR the dragon took the corner at full speed headed toward daring and Conner "RUN!" they started to run but the ground split apart and they fell into a deep hole "ouch" daring said "you can say that again!" Conner said they ran the door which was locked when daring came in they started to bang on the door trying to get out "HEY CAN YOU HEAR US WE NEED HELP OPEN THE DOOR" daring yelled from the other side the elder yelled back "NO" "WHY THE HELL NOT?" daring yelled in anger " then the dragon will be loose on the village" the elder said Conner tapped daring on the shoulder "we have no time for this its a matter of seconds till it finds us again"  Conner said "what do you say we do then?" daring asked "there has to be another way out right?" he said "hmm there always is if not we can get the dragon to make one" she said "that's true" Conner said they ran left of the door running down countless hallways RAWR the dragon bashed down a wall to cut them off they turned and bolted the other way daring and Conner ran straight until they were close enough for them to turn just in time to dodge the dragons attack and break through the wall there plan worked! the dragon slammed right into the wall as they thought but it didn't break through instead the roof started to fall daring was trying to get the dust out of her eyes when she noticed Conner wasn't there "Conner?" she asked she started to dig in the rubble "CONNER?" she asked again "Daring?" Conner asked for behind the wall "thank god your okay" daring said "same to you" "well this isn't the first time we have split up" she said "well this time there's a dragon" Conner said "thanks for making it worse" daring said "your welcome" Conner said daring started to walk she walked till her eyes were playing tricks on here "THE EXIT" she started to run as she got closer the farther it went away "Damn it" she rubbed her eyes and started left then a right then a left she ending up back where they split up "god dam it really?" she thought she started to run again she was losing her mind every turn seemed longer then the last corner after corner nothing until she noticed that there was a type of script on the wall it said "Go Back to were you began" that made no sense she turned and ran back to the first door the one she used to get in but the door was open this time she walked through and walked around looking around for life a figure came closer to her and said "daring doo i've been looking for you" he said "why?" daring asked "your under a spell this isn't real well i am but you never made it out of the temple and you never will as i will make it your tomb" "i don't understand"  she said "you don't have to" so woke //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 Chapter 3// Story: Daring-Doo And The Griffins Goblet// by Daring-Doo Books My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, its characters, setting, and story all belong to Hasbro, Lauren Faust, and present directors and artists.

Conner came from around the corner to greet her "what happened?" she asked "ill tell you when we get you out of here over a cider?" he asked "okay" she said they walked out Conner led Daring to the closest inn "can i order two ciders" Conner asked "that will be a few seconds" the bartender said "OK" Conner said Conner turned to face daring "what happened to you" Daring explained what happened "now what about you?" she asked "well" it started: "after we split up i wondered what it seemed to be a long hallway and by the end of it i was back where i began" "hmm"daring said " go on" "soon after i was in this giant chasm and i saw the dragon ramming his body on the wall trying to get out i guess the elders heard as soon as i knew it i was being saved but 90 year old pones makes sense right but the dragon was able to take flight and get the upper hand i hand to act fast i quickly was able to climb out of the hole i was stuck in and start telling every pony to get inside and take cover" "here is you ciders" the bartender said "Thanks" They both said as Conner began again "so after that everything froze like everything was perfect in the world then a figure appeared and told me this was a dream and i awoke in the temple but this time the temple was having an earthquake and i thought you would already be out there when i noticed i gathered a team to come back into the temple  to try to find you once we found you, you were awake" "some weird stuff is going on right now" daring said sipping back on her cider a loud bang from behind us began we both turned and there were two older male ponies, "get them!" a bunch of men run into the inn and grab daring and conner, as i was being dragged out i saw that they were taking conner and i not to the same place i was turned around and a bag went over my head, then i was thrown into the back of a carriage. i woke to hear some voices out side there was 6 of them one had a loud annoying voice and two were flying, i swore i could hear a bunny as well, as we started to move again i fell back asleep, this time when i awoke i was thrown off the back of the carriage i could feel my hooves bounded, the bag is removed from my head and i see a big pony with a big axe in his hooves im thrown to my knees and i see a basket, my head is slowly being pushed towards it suddenly time slows as i see visions of my past memory's, everything i accomplished all going to come to a end before my quest has begun White it felt like i couldnt see, everything was white. i could see my parents and connor "am i dead?" i ask "no not yet" conner answered "are you dead?" "no luna is letting me contact you" he said "do i have to go back?" i ask again "yes" he said " and once you do come save me" " seems like ive had to do that to many times already" i said "lets finish what we started shall we?" White i woke my head still being pushed, suddenly the pessure is gone and i leap forward just as the axe hits where my head should have been, he swings again i dodge and lay a solid uppercut, i wonder where could conner be i start to run i fly, searching everywhere i land on a roof where conner is in the same position i was in he looks at me and nods, "NOOO!!!" The axe goes right threw his head, i fall over shocked i wanted to cry, a arrow lands next to me and i get up and start to run, once im out of the village i order i carriage and buy some new clothes, once i exit i start to walk away i think to myself there's nothing left for me here, i am approached by a pink pony who is smiling "Hey! you look sad" she stares at me as if im going to respond i walk past her she jumps in front of me "Hey! Im Pinkie Pie my friends call me pinkie" she says i remember her from the carriage the one with the annoying voice this is going to be a long day i think to my self //-------------------------------------------------------// Final Chapter 10,000 Word Chapter Preview Coming Soon! //-------------------------------------------------------// Final Chapter 10,000 Word Chapter Preview Coming Soon!
