The Darkening: Chapter Five · 2:13pm Oct 3rd, 2018
All right! Chapter five is done and ready to go, and chapter 6 is just about ready to enter its editing stage. I've been getting a bit more free time so work on this has been coming along pretty well. Anyway, you can find the excerpt for chapter five after the page break, and watch for it to come up next Wednesday! Now I'm off to start working on chapter 7!
At the top was another large door that opened without protest except for the groan of its hinges, revealing a small room containing a desk, an overturned chair, and a bent sword laying in the middle of the room.
Applejack led the way across the room to a wooden door on the opposite wall, then turned to Spike. "I reckon it'd be a good idea for ya to leave your pack and torches here. We ain't gonna need them from here on, and all they're gonna do is slow ya down."
With a nod, Spike shrugged off his backpack and leaned it against the wall. Removing her hat, Applejack dusted her mane with Vampony's Bane before placing it back atop her head, then held the pouch up. "You want any?"
"Nah," Spike said. "I don't think dragons can turn from bites anyway. We just bleed out."
"Right." Applejack tied the half-full pouch high up on her foreleg, then pulled her halberd free. "You ready?"
Instead of answering, Spike opened his mouth and inserted the burning end of the torch, plunging them into complete darkness.
Looking forward to it.
