//------------------------------// // Burning Up // Story: Trick's Flashfics // by Trick Question //------------------------------// Three little alicorn sisters played together in the caverns of Tartarus. The game was hide and peek. Theia was "the hider", Luna was "the peeker", and Celestia was "the finder". "You're getting warmer," said Luna, as Celestia stepped past a crevasse. "You said that when I went the other way!" whined Celestia. Hidden in a narrow tunnel beneath the surface, Theia suppressed a giggle. "Now you're colder," said Luna. Celestia frowned. There were too many shadows to see well in here. She gripped a familiar object with her magic and pulled it into the caves. Luna shielded her eyes as her sister moved the Sun around. "Warmer!" said Luna. "You're hot!" The Sun hovered near the entrance to Theia's tunnel, then pressed against it. "You're burning up!" There was a faint screaming sound, followed by silence. "Oops," said Celestia. Two little alicorn sisters played together in the caverns of Tartarus.
