As you and the Mane Six, along with Spike, arrive at a quaint, rustic inn nestled deep within the dense forest, the air is filled with the sounds of nocturnal creatures stirring. The inn, with its warm, inviting glow and wooden exterior, stands as a cozy refuge amidst the vast wilderness.

The innkeeper, a friendly earth pony with a greying mane, welcomes you all with a smile, "Welcome to the Moonlit Haven Inn! We've got plenty of room for travelers like yourselves. It's a quiet place, perfect for some rest."

After a hearty meal and settling into your rooms, you all gather around the fireplace in the common area. The flames crackle and cast flickering shadows on the walls, creating a sense of calm and comfort. Twilight Sparkle pulls out a map, studying it intently.

"This forest is so vast," she says. "I wonder what else is out there?"

Rainbow Dash, lounging on a cushioned chair, replies, "Probably just more trees and critters. Nothing we can't handle."

Fluttershy, ever the curious one about the local fauna, asks the innkeeper, "Have you seen any interesting animals around here?"

The innkeeper chuckles, "Oh, plenty. But there's also talk of an old academy a few miles from here, hidden deep within the woods. Not many ponies venture that way."

Spike perks up, "An academy? What kind of academy?"

The innkeeper lowers her voice, "They say it's a place for vamponies and batponies. Nocturna Academy, it's called. But don't worry, they're quite friendly if you ever run into them. They just prefer to keep to themselves."

Rarity, intrigued, adds, "How fascinating! Imagine the outfits they must wear."
