Daring Do: And The Divine Crown of the End

Meet the Princess of the Temple (2/4)

As soon as they got out of the room, they then start to notice the deep staircase, and there was a sign right next to it. When Diamond got up to the sign, she reads it out loud.

As these stairs you go on down, is the royal crown that your looking for. But beware, there are more down there as there was before.

"What does it mean by that?" Diamond asked with a little bit of confusion.

"I don't know, but if it says 'beware', then we do need to be careful." said Daring Do.

Diamond nods in agreement, as they both went down the long stairs, it lead them to the most beautiful cove that is known to Equestria. They soon got down stairs, and looks around the cove before looking at the pond that actually goes down so deep that leads them to the underwater cove. They can pretty much tell by the light on the pond that's sparkling around it, the pond's water must be so blue and clear that's really easy to see what's underneath it. They can see a cave deep down the pond they can go through. The only problem is that there is no oxygen tanks for them to use in order to breath underwater, luckily, Daring was able to bring one for herself, just in case if this stuff actually happened.

"You wouldn't happen to have an oxygen tank with you, do you? Cause we're gonna need it, if we want to get the crown." said Daring Do, with a raised eyebrow.

"No." said Diamond, as she searches in her bag for a pack of pills. "But I do have a pack of pills on me." Diamond takes out the pills that she was looking for.

The pills that she has in her bag were the pills that was given to her by Zecora when Diamond last visited her a few weeks ago, before she met Daring Do herself. Zecora told her that the pills she has in her hooves would allow her not only to breathe underwater, but also to be able to talk clearly while submerged. It only works when you go underwater, and it wears off once you get up to the surface, as she explained. She and Zecora did a test on it to make sure it worked, and it worked perfectly. Zecora decided that Diamond should keep them, just in case there was anything to get, or anyone to save underwater. After a few seconds of silence, Daring Do then finally broke it with a bit of confusion.

"How are those 'pills' supposed to help you?" Daring Do asked confusedly.

"Well, I visited the Everfree Forest where the zebra Zecora lives a few weeks ago, she said that these pills would not only let me breathe, but also talk underwater while submerged." Diamond explained. "I tested out to make sure it works perfectly, and it really did, I was kinda shocked at that at first. She let me keep them just in case of this type of situation."

"Pills that let you breathe and talk underwater? You actually don't need an oxygen tank for that?" Daring Do asked.

"Nope, all it takes is one pill, but it only works once we dive in." Diamond explained.

"Hmm..." said Daring Do as she thought about it.

Diamond looks at Daring Do, who was thinking about either using an oxygen tank or using one of her pills, before looking at the sparkling lake.

"Alright, let's go with the pills." said Daring Do as she put down the oxygen tank.

Daring Do holds out her hoof for the pill. Diamond opens the pill bottle, and pours out two pills, one for each of them. She gives one to Daring. They both took the pill and swallowed it instantly, before looking at the lake.

"Adventure ponies first?" Diamond asked as she made a hoof motion, telling her to go first.

Daring Do gave a bit of a smile, and nodded, before diving into the pond first, then Diamond. After a few seconds of being underwater, they started to feel a little tingly. Being a little tingly was a little side effect on the pills, showing that it's started to work. After a few minutes of silence, Daring Do broke it, and was able to talk clearly.
