Welcome to thread two of AnCap's Epic Pony Adventure.

As we left off last time, the party of ponies and a cow had been teleported away by Discord. They are waking up in the back of a wagon, as a creamy colored pony with a multihued brown mane gazes at them over the wagon's edge.

"We should be just above the crystal, if it still exists..." Sister says
"It may be underground."
Sister Ash levitates over to the nearest dragons and attempts to ask for directions, describing the white dragon she saw.

Topaz looks in awe at Ash's initiative.
(How many times did she have to deal with these scaled folk? She seems like an expert.)
Phospy is trying hard not to panic at the danger around and Diamond simply looks disinterested, breathing deeply to try and reorient himself.

Phospy is clearly uncomfortable being here around so many dragons, tugging at the unicorn.
"Come on, Phospy," she whispers to him, patting his big head. "You can do it. Do it for me."
These words obviously strengthens the dragon's resolve.
"That's the spirit! Come on, let's follow Ash."
She and Diamond hop on Phospy, which start flying over to Ash and the currently being interrogated dragon.

A number of cave entrances and lairs stand out to Ash, along with some lava pools that seem popular with the young dragons.

"All lands are beutiful, because they're inhabited by so many different creatures. Evry race has it's place. Every beast has it's habitat. Thus is the harmony of nature." she continues, smiling
"And that, is beautiful. The vulcan tremors, the lavafields, the arcane weather.. they all make this land unique, and it's only because of that that that it could be home to so home to so may of these covetous and destructive dragons. The creatures match the land beneath them, and by that they're all able to live in harmony with the earth, or at least on their terms."
