  "Fluttershy----er, Dragonshy. I shall give you your first word of power. Did I mention that each Dragon shout contains three words? I know I didn't. Your first word is 'Fus', the first word of the Unrelenting Force shout."

  Talos motioned his hands so they were spread torwards the stone floor. Fluttershy then heard whispering of strange words. More of the dragons' strange language, she supposed.

      Three lines appeared on the floor of the cave. Their edges were rough and jagged, almost as if they'd been clawed there by some massive being. An odd, ethreal glow surrounded them, its blue light pressing at Fluttershy's eyes. She found that if she looked too long, it made her dizzy and blurred her sight. 'Is that the dragon language?' Fluttershy wondered as the odd symbols formed in the ground.

"W-what do I do now?" Fluttershy asked the spirit.

"Stare at the words, of course." Talos waved a hand at the lines, his tone making it sound as though it should have been obvious

"Oh..okay..." The cream colored mare said very nervously. She hesatated for a moment.

"By the other eight Divines, would you please hurry up? I haven't got all day---er, night----no day!" Talos pointed outside the cave.

   It was, indeed, dawn. Well, you know what they say. Night sure does go by quickly when you spend your time with ghosts repeatetly shouting, "THE DRAGONS HAVE RETURNED" in a  spooky cave. Wait, no, they don't say that. But I do.

  "Fluttershy! Where the hay is that pony?" Rainbow Dash yelled. Probably taking care of her animals or something.

" As much as ah would hate tu admit it, ah don't think Fluttershy is here, sugarcube."

"You're probably right, AJ, but where ever she is, let's just hope she didn't forget Pinkie's party."

    As Fluttershy settled down, she focused on nothing but the strange writing on the floor. Her vision became distorted, but she was feeling something she never before felt. It felt like power. Growing power, deep inside her very soul. Her vision then restored and the glow on the words dissapeared.

  Fluttershy inhaled, then exhaled. She didn't feel tired from last night's lack of sleep anymore. The power somehow 'restored' her.

  "How do you feel?" Talos questioned.

"Alright. Good. Ok, I feel wondorful. I feel like I'm brand new."

"Great. Now to unlock that power, all you need to do is slay a dragon." Talos said with a smile.

"But-but-but---"

"No 'buts', you're going to slay a dragon and you're going to like it. Oh, yeah, and you need to absorb its soul."

  That made Fluttershy feel even worse. Killing an innocent creature? Ok, well, maybe not innocent, but still. She could'nt do it. After all her time spent with animals, she couldn't bear to see one killed. Even if not an animal. Or if she didn't commit the act. Just the sight of a dead creature made Fluttershy want to cry.

"...Fine."

Talos gasped. She finally understood the importance of being dragonborn.

"....you can kill it, and  I'll absorb its soul  with my eyes closed."

Talos facepalmed. She still wasn't ready. Looks like they were going to do it the hard way.

"Look Applejack, hoofprints! Do you think they can be from Fluttershy?"

"Ah honestly doubt it, but ah guess we can try and follow them."

   The two mares followed the hoofprints, leading into a familiar place. The Everfree Forest.

"Um, Rainbow, ah don't know 'bout this."

"Oh, come on, we can take those monsters."

"Remember what happened last time we went in here?"

Rainbow Dash thought for a moment.

"Well, those baddies were not so tough, and plus Nightmare Moon was set loose."

"Plus we had friends along. And tu me, ah don't think Nightmare Moon increased the dangers of the forest itself. But, ah'm not exactly sure it's another pony's hoofprints, so let's go."

"Awhhh Yeaahhh!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

   Yep. They were in for a real adventure.

SugarCube Corner

"I wonder what's taking Applejack and Rainbowdash so long. They should have found Fluttershy by now." Twilight Sparkle wondered.

"Oooh! Oooh! Maybe they went to get more punch!" Pinkie Pie chirped, bouncing in front of Twilight.

"I highly doubt it Pinkie. They would tell us if they were." Twilight said.

"Oh no..." Rarity pouted.

"What's wrong Rarity?" Twilight asked.

"I think I might know what might have happened to Fluttershy." She responded. "Last night Sweetie Belle and her friends snuck off to Fluttershy's cottage, so I caught her and brought her home. On my way to Fluttershy I overheard her saying that a chicken escaped. It probably went into the forest, and you all know how Fluttershy is about her animals. I'm sorry I didn't tell you all earlier," Rarity said in a guilty tone.

"It's not your fault Rarity," Twilight comforted.

"Yeah! We still love ya!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Yes...thank you all, but let's just hope she is alright.

" Is anyone---or any-pony," he giggled, "you know tough?" Talos asked.

"Well, the toughest ponies I know are Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Why?"

"Oh, you'll find out." The spirit said with a grin.

"Knock Knock."

"Enough, yuv told that joke more than fifteen tahms!"

"Aww come on! Just one more time!"

Applejack sighed. "Fine, who's there?"

"Mary."

"Mary who?"

"Mary yourself!! AHAHAHAHAH!"

Applejack chuckled at Rainbowdash's failed attempt to keep them entertained while in the forest.

"These hoofprints seem to go on foreeevvveerrr." Rainbow said a little dramaticly.

"Just keep your cool sugar, and ah'm sure we'll find where ever the hay Fluttershy has wondered off to."

"Hey! I found a cave! And these hoofprints lead right into it!"

"Well ah'll be! Follow those hoofprints!" The orange pony commanded.

   And so they sprinted deep into the woods, still keeping track of the mysterious hoofprints. But little did they know about what they were about to find.

"Um, Talos, do you hear hoofsteps?"

"Hoof---steps? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! But yes, I do," Talos casually said.

   The sounds started getting louder and louder, until they reached the end of the cave.

A bit earlier

"We reached the cave!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Yeah, and look at those torches! Maybe Fluttershy placed them," Rainbow Dash pointed.

  The two mares scurried into the cave, ignoring the useful lighting. They just straight ran, avoiding sharp rocks and steep ditches. 'Weird cave,' Rainbow Dash thought.

    Yup, they just did that, until they reached the end of the cave.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack ran straight into Fluttershy, not noticing the ghastly human above.

"Oh, hello!" Said Fluttershy.

"Oh Fluttershy! Thank Celestia yur here!" Applejack cried.

"Yeah! What are you doing out here? Everypony else is waiting!" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Oh no! I forgot Pinkie's party oh pleeeeease tell her I'm sorry," Fluttershy begged, "and what was I doing? It's a long story."

"So, are these the two ponies you were talking about, Dragonshy?" Talos interuppted the reunion.

RD and AJ looked up, only to find a big ghastly spirit floating.

"What in tarnation is that?" Applejack yelled out as her voice echoed through the cave.

Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, didn't feel like questions were needed. She knew one thing: Whatever this thing was, it needed to learn a lesson, and it was going to eat Fluttershy. No wait, that's two things. Whatever.

Rainbow took off at amazing speed, circiling the creature, then stopping to kick it in the chest.

*CLANK*

The creature looked amused. "Seriously? You think your kicks can hurt me? Well my akavari armor won't even BUDGE. Even if I had it off, I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference. I mean, I've seen bandits who can strike harder than you," Talos smirked.

"What, you afraid you big monster? You had better leave Fluttershy alone or else!"

"Or else what?" Talos was begining to unsheath his blade.

"Or else--"

"Um, Rainbowdash?" Fluttershy interuppted.

Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy for a second.

"Get out Fluttershy! Before it takes you!" Rainbow commanded.

"Um actually, Talos here is my friend."

"Talos? Friend?" RD and AJ said suprised.

  Yes sir, this was going to be a looooong journey.
