The giant green star-beast rose from the swamp, and Applejack's eyes grew wide. "What in tarnation?" she exclaimed.
Applebloom shakily rose to her hooves. "Hey! Draco!" she yelled. As if it had heard her, it swept down from the sky, swamp muck dripping from its coils in wide sprays, and flew just over their heads with a mighty roar. She hollered and whooped until it was out of sight.
Zecora pulled the rest of the vines, now dry and brown, from her. "A hundred explorers to the depths have sunk, to rest ensnared beneath the gunk. Yet luck was with your sister's rope, which held you fast and gave us hope."
Applejack scratched her head. "Anyway, you were mumblin' somethin' about a mittster or somethin'. What kinda dream were you havin', anyhow?"
With a wide grin, Applebloom turned to see her rump. The golden triangles had disappeared. So did her smile. "It was all just a dream after all," she said, then looked up in her sister's eyes. "Ah'll tell you on th' way home."
As they left the bog, Zecora's ears twitched. Above them, in the trees, a sparrow flitted from branch to branch. It seemed to be following them. "Curious creature with voice like a fife," she whispered, her eyes narrowing, "Were you a friend in another life?"
