Whirl followed her in. He shuddered as the shade covered him, it was like a dark spirit had grabbed hold of him. He continued to follow her through with an extremely nervous look on his face. "H-how long until we reach the other s-s-s-side?" He asked as his face turned a bit pale.
-
Blinkie giggled, and moved herself closer to the trembling pegasus.
"Oh, don't be such a coward. We just got here!"
She kept her trench spike in her hoof as they continued through the forest.
-
Ferrarity was following along, almost wanting to go ahead, but she had no idea where the site was so she stuck to the front being the eager one. "Come on everypony, there's nothing to be afraid of. I'm not scared, more excited!" She grinned widely with a glint coming off her white teeth. "Noi marceremo su e prendere su tutto ciò che cerca di fermarci!" She stated confidently in her native Istallion language.
-
Blinkie took a turn to the right, looking over to Ferr.
"..it's this way, Ferr."
She grinned, as they traversed deeper into the woods.
"..well, at least it's a nice night out."
-
Whirl continued to follow even though all of his senses were screaming at him to turn back. A leaf fell on his back and he screamed out in fright. "YEAAAA! Something is on my back!" He yelled as the leaf had stuck to his back. He was frantically trying to look to see what it was while reaching back trying to get it off.
-
Blinkie laughed loudly, brushing the leaf off of the frightened stallion's back.
"Jeez, man, calm down! Just a bit of foilage!"
She pressed on, as hoots and howls and the rustling of leaves continued in the nethers of the woods.
"Gosh, if you're this cowardly out here, I'd hate to see what you'll be like down there...."
-
Ferrarity couldn't help but giggle at Whirl being so on edge. "Foglie non può farti del male, Whirl, avete bisogno di rilassarvi." She turned and followed Blinkie in the right direction. "He should be fine, there aren't any leaves in caves." She joked about Whirl Wind's situation, giggling again.
-
Blinkie almost lost it at Ferr's comment, giggling loudly.
"I like you, Ferr. You're hilarious."
She took a sip from her bottle, and held back another chortle.
"We're getting close."
-
Whirl was blushing a lot. "S-s-s-s-s-sorry, it's just the forest... I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i have heard s-s-st-stories of ponies... getting turned to s-s-s-s-stone a-a-a-and being attacked by h-h-h-hydras." He stuttered as he tried to hide himself behind Blinkie for protection, even though he was almost more than twice her size.
-
Blinkie grinned, and shook her head.
"Oh, Whirl, that's just a bunch of bullsh-"
She turned around, and a snake-like creature stood in front of her. Blinkie immediately forced her eyes to the ground, trembling slightly.
"...don't...move..at all.."
