Very deep down the darkness of the hole reached, the circle of an unknown abyss, a foul smell impregnated it, a stain of something rotten and dead but with an alarming sensation that something alive was there, waiting at the end. Twilight was scared, she was afraid of what unholy things could happen to her down there but at the same she was worried sick for Spike, the little dragon just screamed into the darkness and disappeared without a trace. 

Was he alive? Was he fine? Where was he?

Question and more question filled the pony head, doubts that just got worse by the tension of the passage of time and walking in total darkness was not alleviating those thoughts, in any case she had to do what was needed to be done as nopony, nor creature or just about anything, will come to their rescue, she was the only hope left.

The walk in the tunnel started, it seemed to be wide enough to be walked by normal sized ponies, the walls of dirt were very well carved maybe by some magic spell or a very advanced machinery. As the journey deep below continued the tunnel grew in complexity, as the walls became murals of an alien art that showed monster of unspeakable forms, screaming in terror and laughing maniacally. 

Ugh Howard Philadelfia is going to sue somebody- Say Twilight in a brief moment of very justifiable snarkiness.

Twilight continued, she was determined to reach the end of that nightmarish place. It didn’t take too long for her to finally find a sort of dead end where a wooden door was, the door itself was perfectly carved, details that only could be made by a master of the craft were in every inch of that door, it smelled like old wood but it was not an unpleasant smell, on the contrary it was very pleasant. Twilight could have stayed hours staring at the fine details of the door but she didn’t have the time for such a trivial thing, she lighted her horn and with a swift move opened whatever was behind that door. 
A bundle of green flames bursted out, a intense light filled Twilight eyes and before she could have time to think she passed out, as she lost consciousness she saw a small pair of purple claws walk out to her, she heard a small voice but did not understand any of it, soon she dreamed.
