She gets up on all four hooves, shakes herself, and gives the tree's half-open mouth a firm kick, breaking half its teeth. The tree moans, a long drawn-out creaking cracking shuddering splintering sound.
"Fell into a pond," Cordy summarizes. "And when I got out, there were a bunch of these - " she jabs a rear hoof at the tree " - crowded around the edge, giving me the eye. I went around, and there were more behind them. It seemed like one way I could go was all scary all the time, and every other way there was a nice smell or decent lighting or something interesting dropped on the ground. So obviously something didn't want me going this way, and you have to figure the likeliest candidate for dark mysterious forces turning the forest against us is Nightmare Moon, who seems to be motivated to keep us apart. Therefore, scary path must lead to you guys." The tree creaks again. She gives it another kick. "I don't know why I held out hope that when I finally found you, the scary would stop."
