Description

Whew! This took a long time to complete. I hope you enjoy this comic.

For those that aren't familiar, this is a reference to a scene from the movie The Mummy. Here's the clip [link]

For the "bony" structure of the mummy's face, I created this reference for what I believe pony skulls must look like. I used details from what actual horse skulls look like to make it more realistic. [link]

And yes, in case there weren't enough hints, the mummy is supposed to be Lyra. It's meant as a reference to episode 4 of season 2, where Lyra is dressed as a mummy in the background (for Nightmare Night).

Huge thank you to :iconbreadking: for providing the everfree forest background in panels 1 through 7. Frankly, I had enough backgrounds to worry about already. XD

Reference background to be found here. [link]

Twilight: Oh look, I may not be an explorer, or an adventerer, or a treasure seeker, or a gun-fighter, miss Daring Do.... but I am proud of what I am!

Daring: And what is that?

Twilight: I ... am a Librarian! *faints*

Daring: I guess librarians can't hold their dandelion wine...

This is my favourite My little Pony comment online.

It is truly fantastic. The original storyline, the fantastic drawing, the little hints and hidden jokes, the way you portrayed how much Daring-Do is like Dashie and even the way you showed how their two personalities differed so much.

I can't describe how awesome this is, you did such a great job! I really hope you're proud of yourself^^

I rated so highly because I can tell how much effort has gone into this- and I assure you it has totally paid off created a great, effective piece of art. Well done!!
