Ingra woke up to see Fredrick still on watch. She ran up to him and said “You idiot you stayed up the whole night and you did not wake me up for my watch.” Fredrick replied “You looked like you needed the rest not me.” Ingra still angry got to work making breakfast. While she was doing that Fredrick was setting down the tent and gathering it up into his backpack he had summoned.
After they finished their meager meal they cleaned up and started off to the cave entrance. The continued on the path for several hours before that they reached the base of the mountain. They went up the mountain side avoiding patrols and random changelings. Fredrick had to kill one by slitting its throat. When Fredrick reached the cave entrance the first thing they saw was green goo covering the walls and some parts of the ground. Fredrick pointed down the cave and said “let’s go.” Fredrick eyes burned with determination as they walked down the cave.

Twilight Sparkle
Twilight’s horn started to glow and the scroll disappeared. Rainbow Dash returned with the rest of the gang and they were waiting for Twilight to finish the letter she was writing. Twilight sent the letter to princess Celestia by teleportation. They then waited for an answer from her. Twilight broke out some tea and some cookies. They waited for several minutes before a letter appeared in front of Twilight’s desk. Twilight dropped her tea and ran to the scroll. She used her magic to open the scroll and read what was inside.
Dear Twilight

Princess Celestia
She finished the scroll and told them what was going to happen. They packed up food and supplies for the journey at hand. When they were done they started walking to the cave that Rainbow Dash had followed them. While the gang walked on the ground Rainbow Dash flew ahead to watch Fredrick and his friend walk into the cave.
o.O.o
In the cave entrance
Fredrick and Ingra were walking into the cave. The walls were coated with some stick green goo. Fredrick said out loud “Looks like somebody did not blow there nose for some time.” Ingra shook her head as Fredrick laughed to himself. They proceed further into the cave when the air started to become cold and very dark. They hugged the walls as they proceed further into the darkness. Fredrick was head of her while following the wall. Fredrick said “quite dark isn’t it.” Fredrick craned his neck around to see that Ingra was nowhere to be seen or heard.
Fredrick felt the air getting even colder as he stood there. The chill became so bad that it felt like a frozen hand grabbed his heart. Fredrick looked ahead and he saw the darkness moving towards him. Fredrick dismissed the thought because that would be crazy. The moving darkness became a shape and kept moving towards him. Fredrick summoned a MP 40 and aimed the gun at the moving figure. Fredrick said “Halt or I will kill you.” The figure replied “you can’t kill the darkness and you would hurt an old friend?” Fredrick replied “What old friend I do not even know you?” The figure said back in its dark voice “I am with you every night and when you are asleep, I am the Darkness.”
Fredrick still did not believe the figure. The figure appeared in front of him and touched his gun. The MP 40 dissipated into the surrounding darkness. Fredrick now believed it was the darkness and he said “Why are you here then?” The darkness replied “I am here to give you a gift. The darkness rose above Fredrick and fired a jet of darkness at Fredrick. The jet hit him; Fredrick felt that the happiness was draining from him. He felt like he could not feel happiness or joy. The jet had stopped and Fredrick was on his knees. Fredrick in pain said “what have you done?”
The darkness replied “I have gave you the powers of death use them wisely.” The darkness faded into the darkness like if it was not there. Fredrick overwhelmed by the pain of that blast felt the powers of darkness. The hate, pain, grief, and sadness at once made Fredrick pass out.
