Fluttershy's Adventure

Chapter Three

Into The Forest

"Goodness, it's so dark in here." Although it was only five o' clock, the forest was extremely dark. Fluttershy was prepared for this though as she had her lady bug friends Illuminate the area around here.

The forest smelled like pine with an aroma of maple. the ground was moist due to the swampy areas that were inside of it, and the air was cool with fog. Fluttershy continued forward into the forest shouting out Angel's name, but to no avail. Fluttershy knew it would be difficult to find Angel, but she did't expect that it would be this hard.

"Oh, I wish my friends were here, then we could all look for Angel and I could get out of this forest quicker." she said to herself.

Then an idea popped into her head, she'd go and visit Zacora, mabey she had seen where Angel went, or better yet, offer to help her!

She continued walking down the dark pathway looking around for any signs of Angel, but she didn't find anything. She heard noises of what she thought were timber wolves, she could see them lurking in the trees and sniffing her scent, she knew she would be alright as long as she stayed on the path though, timber wolves only attacked ponies that were roaming in the forest.

After about a half mile she finally got to Zacora's, her hut was illuminated with tiki torches and smelled of potions and cast iron.

"Umm...hello? Zacora?" Fluttershy called out

"Hang on my child, let me bring you inside, out of the wild." Zacora responded

Fluttershy entered Zacora's hut and started to explain her situation to Zacora

"You see? This is why I came to you, I thought you might be able to help me." Fluttershy ended with saying

"A potion is what you need? I think this will do the deed." Zacora said

Zacora then handed Fluttershy the potion and explained that it was a scent potion. It would single out one scent of a selected individual so that finding that person, or in this case bunny, will be no problem.

"Oh, thank you so much Zacora." Fluttershy gracefully said as she drank the potion

Fluttershy's senses then went crazy, at first she could smell everything, then she could only smell Zacora, then she couldn' smell anything, and finally she smelt the scent of a familiar rabbit friend. Fluttershy then hugged Zacora and turned around to go and follow her nose.

It was strange walking around in the forest without being able to smell anything. Usually Fluttershy could smell all of the pine trees, and the different scents of flowers. But now all she could sense was Angel's well groomed body. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing, but strange nonetheless.

"I hope Angel didn't trot off the path." Fluttershy said to herself.

She was extremely worried about where she would find Angel, the forest was a dangerous place for any creature, especially little rabbits.

Angel's scent carried along the path for a while until it trailed off of the path when a boulder blocked the route.

"Oh no, Angel, you know how dangerous it is to stray off of the path, please be safe." Fluttershy worriedly said as she stepped off the path and into the bulk of the forest.

Angel leaving the trail wasn't all bad though, the ground off of the trail was more moist and damp, this allowed Fluttershy to be able to see Angel's tracks.

The part of the forest that wasn't on the path was covered in trees and Fluttershy had to constantly maneuver around tree branches and bushes, her not being able to smell them made it hard to avoid some, and she ended up getting a few scratches on her legs.

She followed along this narrow trail for about five minutes until she noticed a clearing.

"Angel!" Fluttershy excitedly called out to her rabbit friend.

Angel stood up from the spot he was taking a nap in and ran to Fluttershy hugging her with all of his might.

"Oh Angel, don't you ever run away from me like that again, you had me worried sick." Fluttershy said looking down at Angel.

Angel then worriedly looked around the perimeter of the clearing and into the forest. He then directed Fluttershy's attention that way as well.

Fluttershy then shared the same concern on Angel's face as she saw the outline of the most feared creatures in the forest.

Timber wolves.
