                You feel yourself falling deeper and deeper into the darkness. You can feel your existence slipping away. You will never do the things you wanted to do in life. Never get into college. Never see the world. Never see your own family. Your friends. You didn't even get to hear what your friend had to say to you. You realize you can't give into the darkness just yet. You open your eyes and feel yourself being lifted (spiritual). You look around and see nothing, a pit of darkness. Just then a big flash of bright light appears from nowhere and blind you. You cover your face to shield you.

As the bright light begins to subside you put your arms down. This place looks like the place you were before but a bit different. Your standing on a circular platform. On the picture it shows the lavender pony you kept on seeing earlier. You don't have the sense of grieve anymore. You wondered where you were and how you got there. You look around and find absolutely nothing. You turn back around. Then you hear a voice speaking to you. It says ,"So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid." it says "The door is still shut." As he keeps talking a light appears in front of you coming from above. "Now, step forward. Can you do it?" Your still feeling a bit weak but you manage to step/stumble across to the light. As you look up the light suddenly fades from where you're standing and appears on your left. Something then comes out of the ground. Startled you jump back as a shield appears, floating on it. The voice comes back and says "Power sleeps within you." Another one appears on your right. This time floating on it is a wand. "If you give it a form..." and then one appears in front of you this time its a sword. "It will give you strength. Chose well." Your wondering why this is happening, but chose not to complain. You step forward and get up on the platform thing that came out from the ground. You hold the sword carefully as the voice talks again. "The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek? You look up and say "I do" The sword disappears and the voice says "Your path is set. Now what will you choose next? Chose carefully." You don't feel any pain anymore so you walk to the other platform with the wand. You get on it and hold the wand in your hands. "The power of the mystics.Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. Do you choose to take this power?" he says. I simply nod. The wand disappears in my hand. You have chosen the power of a warrior. You've chosen the power of the mystic. You've given up the power of the guardian. Is this the form you choose?" You want to leave from this dream so you say yes. The platforms that held the weapons crumbles and the platform with the pony on it starts to shake. The platform starts to break and the space below you cracks as you fall.

You sink back into darkness. You open your eyes to see another platform. This one shows the white pony with the purple-blue mane. Your floating down to it. You softly land on your feet. You look around and its pretty much the same. Then a light appears in your hand and the sword from before appears in your hand. "You've gained the power to fight. Try it out" You swing it around a few times. You think you can handle it. "You've got it! Use this power to protect you and other" the mysterious voice says. You look around and see a shadow creature. It rises up and turns into a dark foal. "There will be times you have to fight." More start to appear now. "Keep your light burning strong." You rush in an attack them. You only killed one as the rest go into there shadow modes. You feel pretty confident about yourself. "Behind you!" You quickly turn and killed him in one slash. Five more appear but you quickly take care of them. More appear from nowhere and go into their shadow mode. Soon the entire platform is covered in darkness. You start to sink into it. You try and struggle but the things like quick sand. Pretty soon you've already gone under.

You keep struggling thinking its the only way to save yourself but you realize you on another platform. This one has a pink pony on it. You sit up a bit confused from all this stuff. You get up and see a light from above shining on a door. You go towards it to see that you can see through it. "You can't open it" you think to yourself. You turn around to find another light shining on a small wooden box. You walk towards, kneel down and open it. You got an elixir! You turn around again and find a crate of some sorts. You destroy it and inside was a small pouch of bits of gold. You put it in your pocket. The door becomes a bit visible and a barrel appears right next to you. You lift it and find its really light. You throw it and it bursts to pieces. There's nothing in it. You look back and the door becomes visible.You walk towards the door and it opens by itself. A bright light appears from it and you walk right through. As you travel through the door. It says "The day you open the door is both far off and very near."

You arrive at yet another platform and wonder will this ever end. The platform shows a orange pony with a  yellow mane. You take a few steps forward and  a light shines in front of you. You keep walking towards the light and some more shadow ponies appear behind you. You pull your sword from nowhere and take them down using your swordsman skills.You destroy fifteen of them. After a  light shines from the sky you walk towards it as you feel you energy returning to you. You see the light moving from under you to a spot across from where you are. Some stairs appear and you start climbing them. You reach yet again another platform. This one has a blue pony with a rainbow colored mane. You see a s table and a small silver box on it. "Take a chance. Don't be afraid. The strength of your heart." you open the box and find a dark pit. You put your arm in. You feel things hitting your hand. You try to reach in more and grab them. You feel something in your hand and put it out. Its a necklace of some sort. You put it on and you feel a great power surging through you. "Element of Harmony #7 Chaos Element #7 Name; Nexius. Alternate Equestrian Name; NeXus. Great power comes with great responsibility. Do you want this?" You nod feeling awesome. A light  appears in front of you giving you more stairs leading to another (you guessed it) platform. This one shows a yellow pony with her pink mane covering most of her face. You look around to find a door. You run to it finding that it won't open. You at the door seeing it shows the same marking as your necklace. You pull it out and raise it to the door. It opens automatically showering you with light.

You look around and find your in another platform. It shows two ponies. One of them you have never seen before but she felt familiar and the other was the one that blasted you. A light shines in next to the pony that you have not seen before. You walk towards it and hear the voice. "The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes" You turn around and see your giant shadow rising up from where the other dark pony is.  You start to back away. "But don't be afraid." Another step. It grows bigger." And don't forget..." You start to run back to where the door was. But as you almost reach it. It disappears. You stop, throwing yourself off balance, but pulling yourself back before falling off the platform. You turn to look back and see it's a huge giant shadow pony!!! You realize you have to fight so you take out your sword. It jumps up and try's to land on you but you dodge it. Then it start spinning like a top in the middle, pulling you closer to it so it can do you damage. You get pulled but stab him with your sword and quick thinking. You then spin him with your sword as he's still in his top shape. You get him dizzy and knock him into the air. You jump up and strike him down dealing incredible damage. You then power up your sword and use the move "Star Sun Slash"

You jump back as it's stumbling. The sword disappears from your hand  and you jump back just in time cause the shadow creature attacked you. The floor part you are on turns into the dark quick sand. The thing is now towering over you. "---But don't be afraid" The quick sand is wrapping around your legs. Its falling on top of you." You hold the mightiest weapon of all." You struggling, trying to break free and avoid being either sinking or being buried alive. You hold out your hand hoping to grab something or for someone to pull you out. "So don't forget:" total and complete darkness.Suddenly a bright light appears from nowhere. Bright white light. "You are the one who will open the door"
