It Tolls For Thee

A chance to speak with those who are long gone is something that's hard to pass up. Sunny imagines what she could learn from the ponies of the past, what she could learn about the fate of ancient Equestria. Maybe she could even talk to her dad again.

Is that chance worth the risk of using magic she doesn't understand?

Written for the Quills and Sofas 'Return' contest.

I guess now we know for whom the bell tolls...

Loved this horror story one shot. I hadn't considered all of Argyle's old trinkets reactivating after magic returned.

Thanks!

Yeah as soon as the prompt for the contest was announced I knew immediately what I wanted to do. I’ve used Grogar in the past and I like using him as a necromancer type. So this was just sitting in my mind and waiting.

That sounds interesting, more stories about Grogar as a necromancer? I'll have to check that out.

And that, kids, is why you don't go messing with unknown forces and dark magic, for good vibes and nice emotion are no match for unholy old powers of destruction !

At least sunny was about the only one really up for the plan, so that probably mean characters are starting to notice some kind of trend.

A good story for halloween, the kind you could tell around a campfire.

Thanks! And yeah, it definitely could be expanded but I’ve already written one long ‘zombie’ apocalypse story this year. So this one will stay short.
