Chapter 2: Welcome to Uldum
"Uldum!" Twilight gasped. "But that's impossible, well not impossible cause I'm obviously here but how, how did I get here?"
"I don't really know, unless Princess Luna and Princess Celestia sent you here as punishment. So with that being the most likely option, what did a sweet thing like you do to anger both goddesses, hmm?" Angel asked.
"What?" gasped Twilight, "I'll have you know that I personally helped defeat Nightmare Moon therefore saving Luna. Not to mention I'm princess Celestia's favorite student and personal protégée! Also if being here means I've been banished by the princesses, what did YOU do to be sent here?!"
The Alicorn's eyes widened in shock at the purple unicorn's outburst. "A thousands apologies, M'lady, I meant no disrespect."
Twilight noticed he didn't answer her but decided not to push onward with that subject. "Apology accepted. Now if you will excuse me I need to get home to Ponyville before princess Celestia-ugh!"
Twilight stopped in mid-sentence and moaned. She had forgotten about her injured leg and had tried to walk off.
"I got you," he said catching her as she fell. "But I'm afraid you won't be going anywhere with that leg as it is. The herbs I use will speed up the healing process but it will take a day or two before you are fully recovered."
He realized that he was still holding Twilight. He quickly let go of her and turned around. "Until then you will stay here." He turned back around and looked at Twilight. "However this is merely a request, and you may leave whenever you wish just know this; there are things here that are much more dangerous than a Hellhound scout…"
Twilight shivered, not from the cold, but from the memory of her encounter with the beast.
"Ok," Twilight agreed with a sigh.
He felt a tug at his heart as relief and, strangely, happiness filled him at her agreement to stay.
'Why the hay I'm I so bucking happy that she agreed to stay'
"Thank you, now try to get some sleep."

Meanwhile back in Ponyville at Twilight's house
It had been a week since the Duel with Trixie, and Trixie was hysterical. Since then, she gad been coming every inch of The library looking for a spell that would bring Twilight back.
"If the Great and Powerful Trixie can't bring back Twilight The Princess is sure to banish her, or worse that pink-mained pegasus might follow through her threat.

*Flashback*
"Where…where is she? What did you do to Twilight?" Spike asked.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie Doesn't know nor does she cares." Trixie answered.
That did it for Fluttershy.
Everyone felt a cold chill deep within their hearts, their very souls, as the temperature dropped to single-digits; Fluttershy had used The Stare on The Great and Powerful Trixie. "Um, WHAT did you DO to our precious Twilight?!" she asked forcefully through clenched teeth.
All Tr-Tr-Trixie knows is that wh-when our spells c-c-collided it either sent her somewhere else…or d-de-destroyed her," stammered Trixie.
"YOU HAD BETTER HOPE SHE NOT HURT, 'CAUSE IF YOU HURT HER I WILL PERSONALLY GO INTO THE EVERFREE FOREST, BRING THE FIRST COCKATRICE I FIND, BRING IT BACK, AND HAVE IT TURN YOUR SORRY CARCASS TO STONE, THEN SMASH THE STATUE!" Fluttershy screamed while give Trixie the Stare.
The Great and Powerful Trixie's eyes widened as she tried to look away, her entire body growing cold and refusing to respond to even the smallest requests her brain was making. She felt trapped within herself, forced to look straight into a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see anything and everything about the azure mare. She felt the summation of her whole life, the entirety of her feelings and innermost thoughts-all laid bare under Fluttershy's stare.

Trixie shuddered at the memory. "Spike! Spike where are you, Trixie demands your presents!"
Spike came running up from the basement with some books on tracking spells for beginners. "Here I am. And, for Celestia's sake, stop talking in third person it's getting on everypony's last nerve. Anyway here's some more spell books."
Trixie ignored Spike's comment. "The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't need beginner's spells she need advanced spells. Why does that pony keep the advanced spell books?"
"There are some in her room. I'll go ge-" Spike stopped talking as he noticed that Trixie had already left. He can here hoof steps in the background as Trixie made her way up the stairs to Twilight's room.
