Spike jumped when Twilight appeared again. Twilight sighed.
"Apparently, those tremors were only around the castle," she said. "Something strange is happening."
"You can say that again," Spike said. "I just met Death!" Twilight frowned.
"Of course you have," she said. "You died." Spike shook his head.
"No, I mean Death himself," he said. "The physical embodiment of death!" Twilight gasped.
"He has a physical form?" she asked. Spike nodded.
"He's a skeleton, like me," he said. "But much taller, and he wears a cloak. And get this: I'm not the first creature to respawn!" Twilight gasped.
"There where others before you?" she asked. Spike nodded and Twilight clopped her hooves together in excitement. "Who where they?"
"I don't know," Spike said. "All I know is that I'm not the first." Twilight nodded.
"This is good to know," she said. "But will you see him again?" Spike shrugged.
"Maybe," he said. "He didn't say anything about meeting again."
"Dang," Twilight said. "But if he met you once, then it will probably happen again."
"Maybe," Spike said. "But he also said how something bad was happening soon. I don't know what, but something bad is happening."
"I have to tell the princesses this," Twilight said, then disappeared. Spike sighed.
"This is happening really quickly," he said.
"I forgot to tell you something," he heard someone say. Spike yelled and turned around to see Death again.
"What?" Spike asked.
"I forgot to tell you what exactly it was that you where facing," Death said. "Now that you've respawned, there are ponies that know. Bad ponies. Ponies that have escaped my clutches for thousands of years. They will try to take the source of your life-" Death pointed at Spike's heart-"And use that to raise an undead army. You must stop them." Then there was another flash of bright light as Twilight reappeared.
"Well, Celestia and Luna now know about Dea......" Twilight trailed off as she relized who was standing next to Spike. Then she screamed. Death sighed.
"Twilight, it's ok!" Spike managed to yelled over Twilight's screams. "He's not going to collect anyponies souls!" Twilight stared at Spike, then stared at Death, then Spike, then Death.
"Really?" she asked. Death nodded.
"Don't worry, the only pony who's soul is soon going to be collected soon is in a few months anyway," Death said. "Now, go get Celestia and Luna, because I'm going to need to explain what I just explained to Spike, and I don't want to explain what I just did multiple times." Twilight nodded.
