My Little Countries: Magic of the Stars

Chapter 3

AN: It’s on time this time. I’ll try and keep it that way. So, anyways, the adventure continues. This chapter is pretty dialogue heavy though. The symbol -/|\- means some time has passed or a change in point of view.

^_^ Enjoy, BlondeSky

Chapter 3

            Tense silence fell over the cavern as all ten ponies didn’t even dare to breathe. This sudden quietness was soon broken by a zing noise coming from down the tunnel. “You said it’s a whole system of tunnels yeah?” America asked looking over at Ink. She nodded in response. “Then maybe we can lose them in it.” he finished taking off down the tunnel. The others followed closely behind and the group raced down the hallways taking every fork that led them away from the noises of teleportation. The chase went on for a while before America made a sudden turn before they heard a loud crash and he disappeared from sight. The tunnel which he had gone into had been blocked off until he had kicked it in. On either side of the tunnel they currently in were tunnels off in either direction both, at one point, blocked off. “This way!” he called back to them.

“Doesn’t the fact that it’s blocked off mean we shouldn’t go in there?” Ink asked apprehensively.

“Yeah, and it also means that there probably won’t be any torches that way.” Zone answered continuing into the off limits tunnel.

“But what if there’s a dead end, which there probably is?” Kara questioned.

“Then we have more time to come up with a plan.” Germany replied entering it as well.

“It’s better to keep moving than to wait here to be caught.” England agreed following behind them.

            Although some slightly begrudgingly soon all of the ponies were on the other side of the now nonexistent block and racing down the tunnel. They were right about there being no torches, the only light illuminating the hallway was coming from the unicorns magic. “So now the only question is about why it was blocked off.” Diplo stated as they ran onwards.

“Hopefully nothing too major, it doesn’t look particularly dangerous.” Astro offered up hopefully.

“That’s what’s worrying me.” he replied gravely. With that silence fell as they all barreled down the tunnel hoping to get as far as they could from their pursuers.

            “You think the reason they blocked it off is cause they never found the end of this stupid thing?” America complained. They had been following the same tunnel for what felt like eons with no signs of anything at all, which included no signs of pursuit. The entire group had at that point slowed down to a mild trot.

“You’re the one who led us down here.” England remarked.

“You agreed with me!” he retorted.

“A mistake I’ll try not to make again.” he replied simply.

“Refresh my memory, what did I do?”

“Quite a lot actually.”

“Would you two mind not arguing for once?” Germany interjected.

“Well I agree with the fact that they probably closed off this tunnel because it seems to be going nowhere fast.” Kara commented.

“Still, at least it doesn’t look as though there’s anything dangerous.” Astro replied trying to be optimistic.

“Yeah, that is a plus.” Spot agreed.

“Since it looks like we’ve got time, what’s with this other world business?” Diplo inquired.

“Well where we’re from there aren’t exactly any talking ponies. Unicorns and pegasi are just myths and don’t even exist in real life. Also equines can’t exactly be any color of the rainbow.” England explained.
