Sky Blue heard a howl in the distance. Whatever it was, he didn't want to stay in the forest to meet it. He began to search quicker, not caring if he stumbled or not. He heard another howl, sounding closer this time. In spite of this, he paused. He could have sworn he heard another voice. Maybe he was just hearing things, he had heard stories of the forest driving ponies mad, but then he heard it again.[colour=#282828] [/colour][colour=#008000]"Um, excuse me!" [/colour][colour=#000000]The voice said. Sky turned to see the outline of a unicorn in the darkness, a light shining from the ground behind the unicorn. His eyes were not used to such a dark place. Sky wasn't sure if he was just seeing things, but the voice continued on. [/colour][colour=#008000]"Whatever you're searching for, can it wait until the storm lets up? I have a place we can go that's safe..."[/colour][colour=#000000] Safety. From the sounds of that howling, Sky liked the sound of somewhere safe. After all, he wouldn't be able to give the flower to the professor if he was dead![/colour] [colour=#000000]"That.....That sounds nice. Um.....Thanks." Sky muttered. He had never really been very good at talking to anypony else, let alone shadowy figures in a mysterious forest that offered you shelter. Sky wanted to introduce himself, but the sound of another howl made him decide that it should wait until later. All Sky could be sure of now was that the Everfree forest was definitely not a safe place.[/colour]
