//------------------------------// // adventure // Story: The Phantom of the castle // by Phantomdude333 //------------------------------// I leave the castle and begin my journey towards the light. It's a long and hard walk but for some reason, I cannot use the cello anymore. It's an odd feeling. I cannot use it but I cannot give it up either. I feel almost out of touch with the world. I keep walking walking I don't know where I am going. It's cold. I see a dirt path I decide to take it. It's very dark but I can still see. I see a glow of light I see a cabin. It looks like it could be a pony settlement. I've heard that they are peaceful. I don't know. What should I do? Should I go to the pony settlement? I could use a warm meal and some rest... Or I could continue through the woodlands... I think I'll go to the settlement. It's a nice thought but I can't go around flaunting my royal blood. Anyway, I'll just go there quietly and hopefully without being noticed. I'll ask for work. The pony farmer there might be willing to take me into his fold. After I've eaten I'll get some sleep. I can't go any further in the dark like this. I stumble upon a cabin. It's completely dark but there is a light on in the cabin. Should I go in? I think maybe I should but I'm not entirely sure. I don't know these ponys. I know they grow food and make things for the sake of others but other than that I don't know them. I do know one thing though. I am a phantom pony. I don't think they are as civilized as they want me to think. I'll be eaten if I go in there. But maybe they will take me in if I ask? They might. I'm going in. I put my hooves together in a clump and knock on the door. There is a light but it's so far away. Do I speak? Should I say something? It doesn't look like they are going to attack. They might though. What should I do? Say something. Hello.
