Ellis had been "too" ready to explore the dungeons forever & ever now. Ever since she was foal it had been her dream to risk neck hoof and tail to explore the dark depths of the notorious dungeons. It had been her calling. Today, she had taken her first dive into the lower tier dongeons, she wanted to build up from gravel too prospect. Of course. She hadn't at all expected her FIRST trip into the dungeons to be SOOO. SO. SO. exciting! 

As Ellis explored the vast open halls of the moss covered, stony walls of the first dungeons, she was beyond delighted! Ever excited! What she didn't expect, ears pinning down on her head, was the clicking and clacking of what sounded like hooves, a blur of another adventurer, one she didn't know was what ultimately caught her attention. A splash bay with a surprisingly ADORABLE eagle perched on the stranger horses neck caused her nose to rush up, eyes blinking. What puzzled her was why they were running in the first place, there was hardly any room too walk in these narrow dungeon halls, — so why ? 

It wasn't until a goading "RRRUUUUMBLLE" nicked the back of the mares neck. A sound so grotesque and deafening it could make a pigmy drake cry. Did she understand. But she didn't have any sort of weapons or armor yet, not like a true adventurer, in the crash of hooves against stone, she fled in the opposite direction of the oozing green monstrosity. She wasn't sure if she could help this fello— she didn't know if she could, of course, she was now FLEEING for her life, she didnt have alot of time too stop and think. That thing was DEFINITELY. Dangerous. Was it a slime?? Was that ONE? WHY IS IT SO BIG!? In the time it took her to mentally tally however many bones a hundred horses might have in there body she could feel the dongeon cave air whisk through her mane. She needed too flee, too get away from that thing. But one day. She would make up for this loss — first things first, she'd need a weapon, a spear? A sword? — she wasn't sure either would work against a slime.
