- "C'mon Trixie! Keep up!" Starlight Glimmer called cheerfully as she trot along the bottom of the cave. She was over the moon! Twilight had entrusted her with such a big task... A thoughtful sigh left her.
Trixie grunt and struggled to keep up with her friend's seemingly cheerful pace. "Well maybe if you weren't practically bouncing off the walls of this cave, I could!" She cantered to catch up to her friend, huffing somewhat.
"Can you believe it?! Twilight Sparkle entrusted US!"
"I can! I can believe that Twilight entrusted us to do her dirty work." She grunt as a rock dug into her hoof, wincing slightly.
"It's not dirty work. It's important work! She's just busy with princess stuff."
"Sure."
The two trudged along in silence for a few moments, Starlight stopping in her tracks. Her horn hummed with a faint glow, squinting her eyes to see better. Trixie pressed herself into Starlight, squirming.
"Shush." The two stayed silent as possible, the faint clicking of... hooves? Someone else was here?
"I think we should just say we came... and leave! Soon..."
Starlight chuckled and rolled her eyes, looking back to Trixie, "Oh c'mon. You're scared?"
The silence was quickly filled with a deep rhythmic pulse through the ground.
"Trixie?"
Starlight followed her gaze, her eyes met with a cocoon. It was writhing and... beating. As if it were a heart.
"Oh dear Celestia..." Starlight swore under her breath, frozen in place.
