Twilight ran forward, unsure of the monstrous act that she had just witnessed. It was nerve racking seeing her friends like that, just mangled and mutilated. It was too much.
Twilight eventually arrived at the Everfree Forest, it truly was beautiful. Twilight would've taken the time to appreciate the scenery but her mind was still shrouded with a dark cloud.
Twilight lit her horn and a ball of magic was created. It floated off Twilight's horn like a feather, and slowly drifted towards a stone wall. As soon as it made impact, a portal was made. Twilight saw the familiar book shelf and the table with the flower vase.
Twilight charged forwards, finally, freedom from the cold dark hell known as Equinox. Twilight charged forwards, she felt her hoof touch fresh air for the first time since she left Equestria, She could already feel the warm atmosphere of the library, the familiar clean air.
But before she could fully go through, there was a flash of black, she heard the sound of something being smashed into a tree. Twilight opened her eyes, her back in massive pain, she was in a state of shock and confusion.
The portal was right there, all she had to do was escape her restraints. Her restraints however were black tendrils, a jaw on the end of each one. All of them biting down on her limbs, from the arms to her legs. They held her down, not allowing even the slightest bit of movement.
Twilight watched as a lavender unicorn stepped out of the shadows. Her pure black eyes gleaming with excitement, it was Dimmed Star. She had a sly grin on her face, as if she was saying: "I told you so!"
Twilight tried to use her magic to free herself, but Dimmed Star thrust out another tendril that struck Twilight right in the horn. There was so much force that it knocked off Twilight's horn together with a chunk of her head.
Dimmed Star approached the ruined unicorn and let out a small chuckle.
"Any last words?"
Twilight's head had a chunk of flesh and skin missing as a result of Dimmed Star's tendril attack. Her brain was seen throbbing and pulsing underneath. Blood still poured out of the opening and trickled down Twilight's face.
With all the strength she could muster, she raised her head to look at Dimmed Star right in the eye. A ferocious fire rarely ever seen in anypony blazed in Twilight's eyes. She was angry, sad, yet somewhere inside, she was happy that she was going to be joining her friends.
"Thank you." Twilight said
